Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2052
âHuh? If thatâs the case, what are we still waiting here for? Letâs go ask her about the Seadom tribe while we can! Whatâll we do if she suddenly runs off?â asked Aiden in a slightly nervous tone.
âCalm yourself,â replied Gerald as he patted Aidenâs shoulder. He had already expected the boy to get anxious the second he heard about the newsâ¦
âWhat do you mean, âcalm myselfâ? This may be our best shot of finding someone from the Seadom tribe! We canât let her leave! If she does, what are we going to do? Extend our stay in Japan indefinitely?!â grumbled Aiden as he flopped onto the couch.
Watching as Aiden then lit one of his cigarettes and began puffing it, Gerald explained, âFirst off, since sheâs in special forces, itâs evident that sheâs here for the competition. With that in mind, she wonât be leaving anytime soon. Besides, the hotel has a record of her registration. Regardless, if we head there all willy-nilly, what makes you think we wonât end up scaring her? Forget calling for help from her tribesmen, she may even call the police.â
âGeraldâs right. I say we slowly get to know her first. That way, we can prevent a situation where she feels disgusted with us right off the bat. Regardless, we should only start asking about the Seadom tribe when weâre on friendlier terms. With any luck, weâll finally be able to learn more about Yearning Island thenâ¦â added Master Ghost. âMy thoughts exactly,â replied Gerald as he nodded in agreement.
âSO⦠We just wait here for nowâ¦?â muttered Aiden. Though he now got where they were coming from, he couldnât help but feel that they were simply procrastinating.
Shrugging, Gerald then said, âWe wait for an opportunity to present itself. If she really does leave before we get a chance to talk to her, weâll just have to look for another wayâ¦â
âNow that would be a great pityâ¦â replied Aiden with a sigh.
âIf it happens, it happensâ¦â replied Gerald with a bitter smile before starting to head downstairs aloneâ¦
Since they were going to be staying here for a while, Gerald made it a point to learn more about the area. While he didnât have any Japanese enemies, that didnât mean that his enemies wouldnât pursue him all the way over here. Regardless, this wasnât Weston, all he could do was rely on himself to do all this. What more, he couldnât just do things casually like how he had done back in Yanam.
Whatever the case was, upon seeing that Gerald was leaving, Master Ghost and Aiden immediately wanted to follow. However, Gerald quickly rejected the idea.
After all, Master Ghost wasnât capable of defending himself. With that in mind, he would only end up becoming someone Gerald had to protect if they bumped into any trouble. As for Aiden, he was here for that big competition, so Gerald didnât want to involve him in his affairs. With his point made, the duo could only remain in their rooms as Gerald took the elevator downstairs, a cigarette in his mouthâ¦
Night had already fallen by this point, and after staring at the endless stream of pedestrians for a while, Gerald found himself getting more relaxed as he came to terms with the situation.
While his sister and parents had been on Yearning Island for a while now, Gerald had a feeling that his grandfather hadnât mistreated them too badly. After all, in the end, they were still blood-related with Daryl, so his grandfather probably wouldnât kill them right off the bat. His hunch was further supported by some things his father had previously told him regarding his grandfatherâ¦
Either way, as he continued walking down the street, he began thinking about how he should get to know the woman from the Seadom tribe. After all, he was pretty sure that the term âSeadom tribeâ itself was a taboo among those from that tribe. But if that was the case, how was he going to ask her about it?
Just as Gerald was feeling a slight headache coming, he noticed a supermarket nearby. Figuring that he may as well get himself more cigarettes, Gerald then began walking toward the building⦠Only to suddenly stop in his tracks.
With the aid of his Herculean Primordial Spirit, Gerald was able to sense dangerous situations around him. Due to that, he could now sense a fight happening in the alley behind the hotel and the supermarketâ¦!
Though he remained momentarily stunned, Gerald eventually snapped out of it and entered the supermarketâ¦
