Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2057
âGot it. Iâll go inform my friend first, then! Give me ten minutes! Iâll regroup with you at the hotel lobby by then!â replied Gerald as he got to his feet and left the roomâ¦
Soon enough, he got back to his room and told Master Ghost and Aiden all that had happened. Once they were updated about the situation, he then slipped his coat on before heading to the lobby where Fujiko was waiting for himâ¦
After regrouping, the duo got into his car, and under Fujikoâs guidance, he speedily began driving toward her home⦠Fast forward to a few minutes later, a small group of dagger-wielding men in black could be seen rushing toward the back of the hotel where Gerald had first saved Fujiko⦠If one was close and attentive enough, theyâd surely be able to smell the familiar tang of blood drenched all over their bodiesâ¦
Looking at all the construction waste that lay around, the leader of the group was prompted to ask, ââ¦
Is this the place, Third?â
âIt is. Just as I was about to heavily wound Fujiko, some man suddenly appeared and got in my way!
He was so powerful that I had no choice but to retreat!â replied the person who had earlier attacked Fujiko.
âI see. Find out where heâs currently staying, and once you do, end him!â ordered the leader in his low voiceâ¦
Since the Hanyus rarely had any issues with other parties when they carried out their missions, Geraldâs sudden involvement was definitely infuriating. After all, had they succeeded in their missionâ
given by the head of their clanâof capturing the injured Fujiko earlier, theyâd surely have been able to use her to threaten the Futabasâ¦
Unfortunately, someone meddled at the very last moment! Now all their plans were in ruins! As if that wasnât already enough, the enemy was now aware of them as well! From this point on, locating Fujiko again was surely going to be more difficultâ¦
âSpeaking of which, are you aware of the meddlesome manâs goals? Did he simply wish to save her or was he actually trying to take revenge on you or our family?â asked the leader after thinking about it for a while, wondering if Gerald was someone that the Hanyus had previously offendedâ¦
âI donât know much about him, though I do know that he isnât Japanese. From what I can guess, heâs probably from Weston,â replied Fujikoâs attacker. âA person from Weston you say⦠Well, Weston or not, he meddled with the wrong family! Due to that, heâll die by our hands if itâs the last thing we do!â
declared the leader of the group as he clenched his fists determinedlyâ¦
Moving back to Gerald and Fujiko, it was about three hours later when they finally arrived at the city her family was living in. Though Gerald didnât directly inquire about her family, he could tell that she was being rather secretive about them. After all, whenever the conversation led to her family, she would only provide the most basic of information.
Since she was being so reserved about sharing more about her family, Gerald decided to stop questioning her about them after some time. After all, the last thing he needed was her growing unnecessarily vigilant with himâ¦
Regardless, it was about half an hour later when Geraldâs car pulled up in front of a manor. Before they were even able to leave the car, a uniformed young man had already walked up to them. Seeing him, Fujiko then got out of the car first.
Pointing at Gerald, she then said, âCalm down, heâs a friend of mine. Iâve brought him back here to discuss some important affairs with dad.â
