The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2104
Watching as the duo walked off, Gerald then stretched before taking in a deep breath of fresh airâ¦
A short while later, Gerald began making his way to Takuyaâs room. On his way the re, however, he bumped into one of Takuyaâs most trusted subordinates. Seeing that, he figured that he may as well ask if Takuya was in his room before actually getting there. Upon being told that Takuya was still interrogating the duo from the night before, Gerald asked for the interrogation roomâs location before promptly walking offâ¦
Making his way to the back of the manor, Gerald eventually came across a stone entrance that led to an area that was clearly constructed differently from the rest of the main building.
While the front part of the manor including the villas there as well as the Futabaâs magnificent garden looked absolutely lavish, anything past the stone entrance honestly looked desolate. With some of the weeds here growing as tall as humans and a few easily missed single story houses further back, it felt like nobody had lived in or even taken care of the area for over a decadeâ¦
Regardless, while walking along a beaten path, Gerald soon came across three of the Futaba familyâs subordinates who immediately greeted, âMr. Crawford!â
Peeking past them, Gerald was prompted to ask, âIs the patriarch in one of those houses?â
âIndeed! Heâs been interrogating the two assassins throughout the night⦠Regardless, have you eaten, Mr. Crawford? We were just about to get some breakfast for the patriarch!â said one of the guards.
âI see. Get some for me, then,â replied Gerald with a nod before walking past themâ¦
After walking among the tall grass for a while, Gerald soon heard muffled screams coming from one of the houses. Easily figuring out where the noises were coming from, Gerald then entered the house before saying, âPatriarch?â
âHmm? What are you doing here, Mr. Crawford?â asked Takuya who had been sitting before a table with a cigarette in hand as he immediately got to his feet.
âI just wanted to see how the interrogation was progressing,â replied Gerald who had noticed a cup of tea on Takuyaâs table as he took a seat before looking aroundâ¦
Though Takuya had said that he was doing an interrogation, the entire place honestly looked more like an execution room⦠The fact that there were instruments of torture everywhere and the two bloodied assassins had been tied to a cross only served to further contribute to that statementâ¦
Frowning slightly, Gerald couldnât help but ask, â⦠Arenât you afraid that youâll end up killing themâ¦?â
âOh, Iâve taken precautionary measures. After curing them at my clinic last night, my familyâs doctor has been checking their vital signs every half an hour. Iâve been intensifying and reducing the torture according to what the doctor reported to me throughout the night.
Donât worry, Iâm not letting them die until they tell us the crucial details,â replied Takuya with a faint smile while gesturing at a middle aged man who was wearing a white coat.
Figuring that that was the doctor, Gerald chose to not say anything else. A brief silence later, Takuya slid a piece of paper before Geraldâ¦
Raising a slight brow, Gerald began reading through it and quickly realized that it contained a log of all that the assassins had said that night. However, as it turned out, they had only revealed how they had managed to sneak into the manor as well as how long they had waited before striking. In other words, none of the extracted information was useful.
With that in mind, Gerald couldnât help but frown as he asked, â⦠Is this all?â
