Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2050
Still, if Adler truly was murdered by the men from Westonâor any other special forces soldiers from other powerful countries, for that matterâ, the Japanese Military knew that they were going to be in hot waterâ¦
While getting the soldiers to look for their own accommodations would make things slightly messier, at the very least, the Japanese Military would have to take less responsibility if a similar case took placeâ¦
Gerald himself could guess why the Japanese military was doing this. With that, after hearing the news, he simply smiled before saying, âGuess the Japanese Military is getting worried.â
âIndeed, though I canât blame them. After all, Iâm sure the Japanese Military has ever encountered a case like this before. Nobody wouldâve been able to foresee the disappearance of such an outstanding special force soldier,â replied Master Ghost.
âRegardless, letâs focus on finding ourselves a new place to stay first. I doubt safety will be an issue since aside from those from Yanam, there arenât any others here whoâd pick a bone with us. Still, locating the Seadom tribe has proved to be quite difficult⦠I wonder if theyâve already integrated themselves into Japanese societyâ¦â muttered Gerald as he felt a slight headache coming.
To think that they had to locate the Seadom tribe members who could be anywhere in this country⦠It certainly didnât help that there was a high chance that they kept their identities well hidden⦠While the task was as difficult as looking for Yearning Island, it was thankfully not as dangerousâ¦
Whatever the case was, after leaving the Japanese training grounds, Gerald and his party ultimately decided to return to their initial hotel. Since the competition was still half a month away, they figured that as long as they asked for the competitionâs new venue two days before it was held, they would definitely make it there in time.
Just as they were checking into the hotel, Gerald couldnât help but notice that Master Ghost was staring at a womanâwho wore clothes that suggested that she was part of the Japanese special forcesâwho was also checking in. While not as common as men, most countries also had women in their special forces. After all, some missions could be carried out easier by women instead of men.
Regardless, with how intently Master Ghost was staring at her, Gerald couldnât help but chuckle before asking, âWhat? Have you fallen for her?â
âAs if Iâd fall for such a woman! Either way, Iâm just interested in her necklace,â replied Master Ghost as he shook his head, his eyes never leaving the woman.
Frowning slightly in response, Gerald then said, ââ¦And⦠Why exactly are you so interested in that?
Did you bump your head hard this morning or something?â
âLook, itâs no ordinary necklace! If my hunch is correct, it seems to be a pendant of the Seadom tribe.
After all, one of the tribeâs special totems is on it, or at least I think it is. Iâm still not too familiar with the tribe so I could be wrong,â muttered Master Ghost. Though Master Ghost had been speaking softly this entire time, Gerald found the revelation to be explosively loud!
âA pendant of the Seadom tribe, you sayâ¦â replied Gerald as he narrowed his eyes at the woman.
True enough, she had a pendant around her neck, though she was a bit too far for him to have a good look at itâ¦
âAgain, I could be wrong. Just keep that in mind,â said Master Ghost when he saw how excited Gerald was. He was just worried that Gerald would end up sorely disappointed again if he ended up getting it wrong.
Taking in a deep breath, Gerald âwhose hands were now shaking slightlyâthen replied, âIt isnât easy to stumble across such a specific-looking totem. With that in mind, we could very well be on the right traiI.â
âWell, what do you plan to do? Are you going to just ask her about it?â asked Master Ghost in his low voice.
âIâm⦠not too sure yet. Letâs just observe her for a while first,â replied Gerald as he shook his head, wondering how he should face the Seadom tribe member without frightening or disgusting her. A bad first impression would surely hinder their efforts of learning the secrets of Yearning Islandâ¦
âAgreed. Then Iâll be bringing Aiden upstairs first,â said Master Ghost as he took their room card from the receptionist and dragged Aiden toward the elevatorâ¦
