The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2123
âThey left through the back door, though they didnât tell me where they were headed to,â replied the old man as he shook his head.
Now understanding that he wouldnât find out where they had gone to no matter how much he asked, Ryugu immediately said, âPardon me, but Iâll be taking my leave now!â
As he left the house, he figured that in the end, Gerald and Fujiko would still end up participating in the special forces competition. With that in mind, he knew that his best bet was to put them aside for nowâ¦
After all, though he was the leader of the Hanyuâs assassination department, he wasnât too keen on disrupting the activities of the war department. What more, since the competition was international, special forces from all over the globe would be present. Because of that, if he created a mess there, itâd surely cause his family a great deal of troubleâ¦
Still, though he failed to capture Gerald this time, the trip wasnât a complete disappointment. After all, he now knew that Endo and Izumi really were in the Futaba manor.
What more, since the old man had allowed Gerald and Fujiko to leave, he was now pretty sure that the Yamashitas had a special relationship with the Futabas. The fact that Takuya and a much younger Fujiko had met the old man before certainly solidified that theory.
Putting all this into consideration, Ryugu now believed that the one who had intercepted Saburoâs assassination attempt must have been one of the Yamashitaâs ninjasâ¦
With that in mind, Ryugu found himself feeling much better. After all, if all this was true, then he was sure that Gerald and the others wouldnât dare to kill Endo and Izumi. Their deaths would be equivalent to declaring war on the Hanyus, after all, and Ryugu was pretty sure that the current Futabas wouldnât dare to do something that drastic.
Whatever the case was, he soon found himself returning to the spot where he had first fought Gerald.
Upon seeing Geraldâs SUV and all his dead men who were still lying on the ground, Ryugu couldnât help but sigh.
Realizing that Ryugu had returned, Takeshi then ran toward him before asking, âHuh? Werenât you planning to wait there, leader? Why have you left so soon after? Could it be that youâve already killed Gerald?â
ââ¦Theyâve escaped,â replied Ryugu as he shook his head. Though he had initially planned on taking his anger out on Takeshi, he changed his mind at the last second.
Regardless, Takeshiâs eyes immediately widened as he said, â⦠H-huhâ¦?â
ââ¦Letâs not talk about this first. Either way, did none of them surviveâ¦?â replied Ryugu as he waved his hand. He already had a plan to deal with all this, so he really didnât want to bring down his mood again by talking about all this.
âUnfortunately, none of them survived⦠Well, except for the one who was still standing when we came over earlier. You! Explain all that happened to the leader!â called out Takeshi as he looked at the assassin who survived.
âLeader! My name is Kenshiro, and as for Gerald⦠heâs monstrously strongâ¦! In barely a few seconds, he had killed all of these manâ¦! All of them died in a single strike, and it all happened so quickly that none of us could even fight back! Had both of you arrived a few seconds later, thereâs a high chance that I wouldâve been killed tooâ¦! â reported the shivering man after walking up to Ryugu.
â⦠What? In just a few seconds? And none of you were even able to fight backâ¦?â muttered the flabbergasted Ryugu. Though he knew that Gerald had probably killed them quickly, a few seconds was simply too muchâ¦!
Still, this man wouldnât lie to him, and Ryugu knew that for a fact With that in mind, Geraldâs capabilities were more terrifying than he could ever imagine⦠Hell, now that he knew all this, Ryugu wondered if he was even a match for Gerald anymoreâ¦
