The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2101
By that point, though Endo and Izumi had been prepared to die, they couldnât help but breathe vigorously as beads of cold sweat drenched their foreheads when they realized that they were just inches away from death.
Regardless, after Takuya ran toward Gerald, he couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the two were still alive. After panting for a bit, Takuya eventually cleared his throat before saying, âThey⦠can still be of use to us, Mr. Crawford⦠Letâs keep them alive for nowâ¦â
Nodding in response, Gerald then closed his eyes for a while⦠and soon after, his immense murderous intent quickly dissipated. Now that he was calm, Gerald was prompted to ask, âFair enough.
However⦠how did you even find out about all thisâ¦?â
âWith how loud you all were, how couldnât I have found out? Either way, the second I found out what was happening, I immediately rushed over to look!â replied Takuya as he patted his chest while shaking his head, a bitter smile on his faceâ¦
â⦠I apologize for that,â said Gerald in a sheepish tone as he scratched the back of his head.
âNo matter⦠Either way, since they had the balls to cause such a ruckus at my manor, I swear on my life that Iâm getting information out of them! We wonât let you die that easily!â growled Takuya as he pointed at the duo who were still on the ground.
âIâve already tried interrogating them, but theyâre tough nuts to crack,â replied Gerald as he shook his head.
âOh, donât you worry. Iâve met my fair share of stubborn people, so I know how to make them talk. I can guarantee you that with my tactics, theyâll be giving us honest answers before dawn!â declared Takuya as he gestured for his men who had earlier followed him over to carry Endo and Izumi up.
âNow thatâs what I like to hear,â replied Gerald with a smile.
Nodding in response, Takuya couldnât help but frown when he saw all the blood on the ground. Shaking his head, he then turned to look at his men before ordering, âBring them to the manorâs clinic and keep them alive!â
With that, Endo and Izumi were promptly brought away However, since Endo was still bleeding rather badly, his blood ended up dripping all the way to the clinicâ¦
Now that that was dealt with, Takuya turned to face Gerald before saying, â⦠Thereâs something Iâd like to talk to you aboutâ¦â
âWhat a coincidence. I have something to discuss as well,â replied Gerald with a nod.
Realizing that Fujiko was still standing frozen in place, Gerald couldnât help but add, âMiss Futaba? The dangerâs overâ¦â
â⦠H-huh? O-oh! Yeah, it is⦠T-thank youâ¦â muttered Fujiko after snapping out of it. As Gerald and her father walked off, however, she couldnât help but give Gerald a curious gazeâ¦
Regardless, after entering the main hall with Gerald and Fujiko, Takuya made sure to properly lock the doors up before brewing a pot of tea⦠Following that, Takuya handed Gerald a cigarette and even lit it for him. After all, he knew that it was thanks to Geraldâs efforts and Vigilance today that he and Fujiko were able to live another dayâ¦
With that in mind, Takuya eventually bowed toward Gerald before saying, âI truly appreciate your help today, Mr. Crawford⦠With so many consecutive incidents happening, I really donât know how to thank you for every time youâve helped!â
âThereâs no need to be so cordial, patriarch⦠Honestly, I have a feeling that these two came for me today,â replied Gerald as he immediately helped Takuya up.
â⦠Come again? Did you offend some bigshot here?â asked Takuya, understandably stunned.
âI canât say for sure either⦠My guess is that those men are either from the Kanagawa family, or theyâre Hanyus. While my money is on the Hanyus, I canât exactly rule out that there may be other people who want me deadâ¦â replied Gerald as he puffed on his cigaretteâ¦
