Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2049

“So… Any of you find anything…?” asked the person in charge as he looked at them.

“Unfortunately, even after all our investigation efforts, Mr. Komura seems to have vanished into thin air!

We haven’t even been able to find a single clue!” replied the leader of the small team.

“Not one?!” replied Komura as he slammed his fist onto the table in his frustration.

“Zero. Regardless, do you think Adler could’ve simply returned to Yanam last night…?” asked another special forces soldier.

“Negative. Even if he did receive an urgent mission and had to return to Yanam, the Yanam headquarters would’ve surely informed us about it first. Him leaving without a word is highly improbable, especially since he’s someone working with the military. Besides, even if he did return to Yanam, why would he leave all his luggage behind?” replied Mr. Komura. “Then… Could those men from Weston really have killed him…? After all, I remember Adler saying something along the lines of three major families in Yanam being completely destroyed quite recently… He also said something about several of Yanam’s men—in the military—losing their lives! However, his biggest claim yesterday was that those Weston men caused the mysterious disappearance of Godwin Lindod, his leader!”

explained the leader of the small group.

“While even I’ve heard about that incident a while back, we have no evidence that those Weston men murdered anyone. Even if they’re related to the actual people who did the deed, we can’t just place the blame on them without having any solid evidence! Regardless, continue investigating the case! If we’re still unable to find any clues about Adler, I’ll eventually have to report this to headquarters, and all of you know that punishment comes next!” growled Komura as he slammed his fist onto the table again.

Truth be told, Komura had only volunteered to be in charge of this competition so that he could get a promotion. If things went smoothly, his military rank would surely get promoted right after the new year.

Now that such an incident had happened, however, Komura had a feeling that demotion awaited him…

“Loud and clear, Mr. Komura!” declared the members of the team as they nodded.

“Well? Hurry on, then! Even if the headquarters doesn’t trouble you, I will if you still fail to find any clues! For Christ’s sake… To think that a special forces soldier would suddenly disappear during a competition… It’s simply too humiliating! I can only pray that word about this doesn’t get out!” grumbled Komura as he sighed.

After exchanging glances with each other, the other men then left the room without another word…

In the following two days, Gerald and his party mostly remained indoors and only left to get their meals.

Though Komura had come to interrogate them four times by this point, Aiden always claimed that he knew nothing about the case. With that, All Komura could do was leave, dejected…

It was on the third day when all the participants were informed by the Japanese Military that the venue of the competition was going to be changed. Aside from that, the participants were also told to look for their own places to stay, with the Japanese Military paying for any accommodation expenses.

The sudden announcement evidently stemmed from the fact that Komura had reported the case to the Japanese Military. After all, he hadn’t managed to find a single clue on Adler’s whereabouts even after all this time…

Since nothing could be done about the disappearance, the Japanese Military could only separate the participants to prevent similar incidents from repeating…
