Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2060
Since Takuya didnât press into it, the meal soon ended without much else to note.
Following that, Takuya arranged for Gerald to stay in one of the manorâs top guest houses. With the arrangements made, Gerald then bid farewell to Fujiko before following a butler to his guest houseâ¦
Upon arriving, Gerald couldnât help but whistle. Though this was just an ordinary house, it was rather luxuriously decorated⦠Regardless, a quick look around revealed that there were two halls and three rooms in the entire house, along with all the basic living facilities.
After closing his room door behind him, Gerald then placed his bag down and called Aiden⦠Once the call connected, Gerald was first to ask, âHowâs it going back at the hotel?â
Realizing that Gerald was the one calling, Aiden then quickly walked to the window before looking down and muttering, âWell⦠there have been quite a number of people patrolling right outside our hotel⦠I have a feeling theyâre looking for you.â
Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded. It was just as he had expected.
Watching as those men continued loitering in front of the hotelâwith some of them even occasionally going in and out of itâ, Aiden then added, âHonestly, should I just go down and get rid of themâ¦?â
âNegative. If they donât look for trouble with you, just continue pretending that you donât know a thing,â
replied Gerald before immediately hanging up. Realizing that Gerald had hung up, Aiden could only sigh.
Seeing that, Master Ghostâwho had become all too familiar with Aidenâs body language by nowâ
could help but ask, âHe told you not to make a move, right?â
âIndeed⦠He said that we should only strike back if they look for trouble from usâ¦â muttered Aiden with another sigh.
âHeâs right, you know? After all, weâre in Japan, and itâs not like we know how strong or influential the other party is yet. Either way, offending them will most probably only spell trouble for us. Also, I advise you to restrain your rash personality⦠If you donât, one of these days, youâll get both of us into trouble.
How will you explain that to Gerald then?â replied Master Ghost as he continued fiddling with his compass.
Since the sea map was with Gerald, all Master Ghost could do was continue calculating and checking the manifestation of divination to foresee whether Gerald would bump into any danger.
âI mean, Iâm trying, arenât I? Why do you think I called Gerald first before making a move?â grumbled Aiden as he scratched the back of his head. He wasnât some simple-minded fool who only knew how to act recklessly! Still, he had to admit that he sometimes had trouble controlling his fiery nature. Even so, he had already made it a point to always ask for Geraldâs opinion first before making a moveâ¦
âPoint taken. Either way, letâs head to bed early. Now that Geraldâs gotten in touch with the Seadom tribe, we donât know when he could need our help,â said Master Ghost as he sipped some water before returning to his room with the compass in handâ¦
Before Master Ghost could enter, however, Gerald grabbed the man by his arm before asking, ââ¦Are you really sure that theyâre members of the Seadom tribeâ¦?â âNothingâs set in stone yet, but itâs highly possible,â replied Master Ghost, knowing full well that they could be wrong. After all, they only had a few clues to go with, and the members of the Seadom tribe had done a particularly good job at keeping themselves concealedâ¦
âAlright, thenâ¦â replied Aiden with a sigh before shrugging and releasing his handâ¦
The second he woke up early the next morning, Gerald reminded himself that his goal was to locate evidence to prove that the Futabas were members of the Seadom tribe. With that in mind, he then readied himself to start the dayâ¦
To his surprise, the second he left his room, Gerald saw Takuya standing not too far away.
Seeing Gerald, Takuya then beamed as he walked over while saying, âWell youâre up early, Mr.
Crawford!â
