The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2118
Caught completely by surprise, Ryugu almost toppled right next to Gerald, though he managed to balance himself in time. At that moment, the dagger that had been in his hand just seconds ago could be seen flipping in the air⦠and soon after, it lodged itself into the dirtâ¦
Eyes widened, Ryugu immediately began looking for what had intercepted his attack⦠and soon enough, he saw what it was. It was a shuriken, of all things!
Annoyed that he had missed his chance to kill Gerald because of it, Ryugu immediately roared, âWho the hell did that!â
The second Ryugu said that, a hoarse voice could be heard saying, âA bit hold of you to be fighting in the Yamashita familyâs territory, donât you think?â
Following that, a hunchbacked old man seemed to appear out of thin air, instantly startling everyone!
How had he concealed his presence so perfectly�
Quickly snapping out of it, Fujiko then leaned closer to Gerald while whispering, âThatâs most probably an elder of the Yamashita familyâ¦â
Though she didnât know much about the Yamashitas, from how the person acted and dressed, it was pretty evident that the old man was the real deal.
Nodding in response, Gerald couldnât help but feel slightly wary of the old man. After all, under normal circumstances, his Herculean Primordial Spirit would warn him whenever cultivators or strong men were around. However, he had only sensed the old manâs presence from the moment the shuriken was thrownâ¦
Gerald, for one, knew that the old man must have been watching for a while before he took action. With that in mind, Gerald was rightly vigilant around the elder. To make him feel so worried⦠How strong was this old man really�
Still, Gerald couldnât help but shake his head with a smile as he muttered, âSo this is a real ninja⦠Now thatâs a firstâ¦â
Moving back to Ryugu, the second he realized that it was a Yamashita that had stepped in, he immediately calmed himself. After all, he was well aware that he was already in trouble for trespassing.
If he offended them any further, then heâd truly be in hot waterâ¦
With that, Ryugu quickly retrieved and kept his dagger before heading over to face the old man.
Momentarily ignoring Gerald, he then bowed while placing his fist against his palm before declaring, âGood day, senior. I go by Hanyu Ryugu, and Iâm the leader of the Hanyu familyâs assassination department! What should I call you?â
âIâve heard about you beforeâ¦â replied the old man who didnât seem interested in introducing himself.
â⦠Regardless, Iâm only here because I was on my way to settle some grudges with that person. I never thought heâd enter your territory! Either way, Iâd like to make it clear that Iâm not here to cause you any trouble! With that said, once I take care of him, Iâll leave immediately!â declared Ryugu as he glared at Gerald.
Waving his hand rather nonchalantly, the old man then replied, âBefore any of that⦠Since youâve entered my familyâs territory, do come over to my place as guests. Weâll peacefully talk about your grudges, and by the end of it all, we can hopefully settle this dispute without any bloodshed⦠How does that sound?â
Naturally, Ryugu was startled to hear that. After hesitating slightly, he eventually shook his head before saying, â⦠Iâm fine with that! Besides, Iâve been meaning to visit your family for quite some time now, so this is the perfect opportunity for me to do so!â
Though the Yamashitas were known for their ninjas, Ryugu wasnât all that afraid of them. After all, despite how mysterious ninjas were, Ryugu was pretty sure that the Hanyuâs assassins werenât any weaker in comparisonâ¦
