The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2109
Though the SUV was already speeding at a hundred and sixty, Gerald looked as cool as a cucumber as he casually drummed his fingers on the steering wheelâ¦
Fujiko, on the other hand, couldnât help but stare wide eyed at Gerald before eventually asking, ââ¦
Who the hell are youâ¦?â
âIâm just an ordinary man. Iâve told you that many times before, havenât I?â replied Gerald with a smile.
âNo ordinary man would be able to say they âsensed the presence of at least ten weak men lurking in the shadowsâ⦠How do you even gauge a personâs strength without seeing them first?â muttered Fujiko.
â⦠It was just a gut feeling,â replied Gerald, now realizing that he may have said a bit too much.
Naturally, there was no way he could tell her that he had sensed those men and how strong they were through the use of his Herculean Primordial Spirit. With the Herculean Primordial Spirit inside him, there was simply no hiding from Gerald, regardless of how stealthy one was or how good they were at actingâ¦
Whatever the case was, Fujiko naturally didnât buy it, prompting her to say, â⦠The truth, please.â
â⦠Again, it was just a gut feeling⦠Regardless, I feel we should focus on getting rid of those people first⦠After all, you wouldnât want to lead them all the way to the competition venue, right?â replied Gerald, clearly trying to change the topic.
â â¦Of course, I wouldnât. Those people will surely cause chaos if we lead them there! Should that happen, not only will I get punished, but the Japanese military will be humiliated as well!â declared Fujiko in a determined tone as she shook her head. She, for one, didnât want to bring her familyâs troubles to the militaryâ¦
âWell said. Next question, do you want to lose them or just kill them?â asked Gerald as he placed his hand on the gear shift.
âEnd them!â exclaimed Fujiko without the slightest hesitation. After all, if they failed to lose them, then theyâd surely make it to the competition venue, causing her reputation to plummet. Killing them right off the bat was the only way to prevent that!
âKill them it is,â replied Gerald with a slight nod.
âIf it helps, thereâs a deserted, extinct volcano nearby that used to be active. In case youâre worried, extinct volcanoes arenât expected to ever erupt again. Regardless, why donât we do the deed there?â
asked Fujiko as she fished out a map of Japan from the storage area in the SUV before eventually pointing at a spot to Gerald.
After glancing at the map and looking at the mountain that was quite a distance away, Gerald couldnât help but ask, âIs that it?â
Following Geraldâs line of vision, Fujiko then nodded as she replied, âYep, thatâs the one.â
âSeems like the perfect place to murder someone,â muttered Gerald as he slowed down the carâ¦
before swerving it off the highway and into a path that led to a village! Once he was on the path, he immediately sped up again, causing the SUV to disappear amongst the single story houses that were all over the placeâ¦
Meanwhile, the assassins that had been tailing the duo instantly noticed Geraldâs sudden route change, prompting them to immediately change course as well. Naturally, they also reported this to Takeshi who was currently in Ryuguâs car. However, since each of the Hanyu familyâs cars had a tracking system installed, Ryugu already knew where the assassins that were Tailing Gerald were, even before they reported back.
What Ryugu found shocking, however, was the fact that Gerald was actually going off course.
Immediately clicking on the carâs central control panel twice prompting a map of the area to appear, Ryugu then grumbled, âThis isnât right. Where the hell are they going?â
