The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2058
Clearly appearing to be in a dilemma, the young person then walked closer to her before whispering, âYou, of all people, should know very well that the master always opposes the idea of strangers coming over, missâ¦â
Though the man had whispered, Gerald was able to hear every word he said. With that in mind, he quickly found himself smiling. After all, based on what that man had said, the possibility of the Futabas being part of the Seadom tribe grew exponentially. Whatever the case was, Fujiko then frowned slightly as she replied, âJust so you know, I was attacked by one of the Hanyus earlier! Had this man not stepped in to save me earlier, I wouldâve been dead by now.â
Upon hearing that, the young manâs eyes instantly widened. However, he quickly snapped out of it before turning to look at Gerald and respectfully saying, âI-l see! Please, come in, sir!â
Stepping out of the car, Gerald was prompted to say, âIt seems that youâre pretty highly ranked in your familyâ¦â
Smiling slightly awkwardly, Fujiko then replied, âWell, my dadâs the master of the family, you seeâ¦â
Honestly, it was exactly because of that that she kept getting into dangerous situations, even on the most normal of daysâ¦
Before Gerald could reply, the young man from beforeâwho had noticed that Gerald was holding onto a bagâextended his hand before saying, âPlease allow me to carry your belongings!â
Waving his hand in response, Gerald replied, âItâs fine.â
Following that, Gerald then followed Fujiko into the manor. Since she had contacted her father in advance, the two were immediately granted access to the reception room at the end of the manorâ¦
Shortly after, a paunchy middle-aged man came rushing toward them. The second he saw Fujiko, he immediately grabbed her by her armsâcompletely ignoring Geraldâand began scanning her from head to toe while exclaiming, âFujiko! I heard from the guard at the door that you were faced with danger earlier! What on earth happened? Tell me, quickâ¦!â
Understanding that her father was simply concerned for her safety, Fujiko simply smiled as she replied, âIâm fine, dad⦠Iâm not hurt at all.â
âThatâs a relief to hearâ¦! I was so worried the second I heard that the Hanyus attacked you! Still, how did they find out where you wereâ¦? Regardless, werenât you participating in a special forces competition? Why the hell did the military keep this from me?!â asked the middle-aged man as he sighed in relief.
âIâm not sure how they located me either, but just to be clear, I didnât report this incident to the military.
Call it a hunch, but I have a feeling that thereâs a Hanyu hiding within the military. That would surely explain how the Hanyus found me,â replied Fujiko with a slight frown.
âI see⦠Whatever the case is, just stay home for now and leave the rest to me. Iâll be sending out some of our men to investigate further into this! You may not like what Iâm about to say, but Iâm also contacting the military to cancel your entry in the competition!â declared the middle-aged man, his eyes still filled with worryâ¦
âAlright⦠Regardless, this is Gerald Crawford from Weston, dad, and he was the one who saved me said Fujiko as she clung onto her fatherâs arms and pulled him closer to Gerald.
âGerald⦠Crawfordâ¦? What a familiar name⦠Could it be that⦠youâre the one responsible for all that chaos in Yanam a while backâ¦?â asked the middle-aged man as he looked closely at Gerald.
He, for one, was definitely influential enough to know about things like this. Besides, due to how impactful Geraldâs actions had been, it would surely be difficult to forget his name after hearing itâ¦
Realizing that the man recognized who he was, Gerald found no reason to lie and simply replied, âWell, yes, that was meâ¦â
