The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2076
Whatever the case was, Kai and Ryugu had agreed to meet up in one of the Kanagawa familyâs cafés that eveningâ¦
The second Kai entered, the manager immediately and sensibly closed the café to provide Kai with a quiet and undisturbed environmentâ¦
Shortly after, Ryugu entered the café as well, and upon seeing Kai sitting on one of the tatami mats, he immediately called out, âBrother Kai!â
Though Ryugu wasnât exactly a lineal descendant of the Hanyus, he was still a core disciple of that family. In other words, his status was pretty high among the Hanyus. With that in mind, both Kai and Ryugu honestly bore the same amount of status when compared to each other⦠Regardless, though Ryugu was smiling, it was obvious that he was forcing it.
After all, ever since Saburo had failed to kill Fujiko, Ryugu had consistently been investigating the Westoner under Suijinâs orders. Unfortunately, even after investigating for several days, Ryugu hadnât even been able to put a name on himâ¦
Aside from that, Ryugu had also heard that Fujiko was getting married to Kai. Knowing that the enemy of his family was getting married to a Kanagawa definitely contributed to Ryuguâs uneaseâ¦
Either way, upon seeing Ryugu, Kai couldnât help but frown as he asked, âWhy are you here?â
âWell, my chiefâs currently taking care of an urgent matter, so he sent me over in his stead. Regardless, you, of all people, should know how high my status is in my family, brother Kai! With that in mind, you should also know that anything you tell me is the same as directly telling the chief! Either way, the Hanyus will definitely try our best to help you!â replied Ryugu with a smile.
â⦠Itâs nothing too troublesome. I just need someone dead,â replied Kai, understanding that he wasnât qualified enough to request a private meeting with Suijin yet.
âOh? Who the hell would dare to offend you, brother Kai? They must have a death wish! Regardless, with how capable your family is, shouldnât you be able to easily deal with that person? You donât really need us for this, do you?â said Ryugu with a smile.
Ignoring Ryuguâs statement, Kai simply replied, âHeâs a guest of the Futabas called Gerald Crawford.â
Though Kaiâs hatred toward that youth had reached its peak, he knew better than to send his henchmen out to hunt Gerald down. After all, if news about what had happened last night got out, he wouldnât have the courage to show his face before others anymore. His family would surely be affected as well.
Regardless, upon hearing that name, Ryugu couldnât help but frown as he said, â⦠Gerald Crawford?
The Futabas?â
Before their plan to assassinate Fujiko, the Hanyus had thoroughly investigated the Futabas, and to Ryuguâs knowledge, the Futabas had no such guest by the name of Gerald. With that in mind, Ryugu immediately thought about what had happened at the hotel the other dayâ¦
Could the mysterious individual who had beaten Saburo up and saved Fujiko be this Gerald person..?
Finding Ryuguâs reaction strange, Kai then asked, âYou know him?â
â⦠Iâve never heard of him. Regardless, Iâm slightly curious about something else. If I heard correctly, youâre planning on marrying Miss Fujiko, no? Why would you suddenly wish to kill her guest, then?
Whereâs the sense in that?â replied Ryugu who knew better than to tell what was on his mind to Kai.
After all, if he accidentally said something he shouldnât have, he would surely be severely punished for itâ¦!
â⦠Call it a personal grudge. Unfortunately, I canât tell you much, but if you manage to kill Gerald, a generous reward awaits you,â growled Kai as he clenched his fists. This truly was the most shameful moment in his lifeâ¦!
