Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2129
After all, he knew for a fact that Gerald could easily handle those people.
âEven if you say that⦠All the countries have sent their best men over to participate, despite the fact that this isnât even an overly formal competition. With that in mind, Iâm not really sure how well Iâll doâ¦
Getting an above average rank is good enough for meâ¦â muttered Aiden who was well aware that among his teammates, he wasnât really all that strong.
Though he bore the title of âKing of Soldiersâ, he had earned it from the many battles he had been in.
However, now that he had to abide by the eventâs rules and regulations, he wasnât quite sure how well heâd fare.
â¦
Moving back to Gerald, he was currently seated in the interrogation room, his legs crossed and a cigarette in his hand. With even a cup of tea placed before him, anyone who didnât know that this was an interrogation room wouldâve surely thought that Gerald was here as a guestâ¦
Regardless, after clearing his throat, Ichiro turned to look at Gerald before asking, âNow then⦠Could you elaborate a little about your conflict with Mr. Adler, Mr. Crawford?â
âItâs nothing serious, really⦠Back when I was in Yanam some time ago, I got into âa bit of troubleâ. Iâm assuming that Adler came looking for me to get revenge,â replied Gerald as he puffed on his cigarette.
âI see⦠Did you meet him before he disappearedâ¦?â asked Ichiro as he jotted everything down. As for what Gerald had done in Yanam, his actions were so impactful that even Ichiro could more or less guess what Gerald had done there.
âOf course I did. After all, he came looking for trouble with us with so many other special forces agents,â replied Gerald in a casual tone.
âIâm talking about the night he went missing,â specified Ichiro.
âAh, well thatâs a no. While he did yell profanities at us from outside our door, we paid him no notice. I, for one, was sleeping at the time, though I heard from Aiden that he eventually kicked out door before leaving It was the next morning when I actually learned that he had disappeared,â explained Gerald while shaking his head.
âYou really didnât go outsideâ¦?â asked Ichiro as he stared intently at Gerald.
As an investigator, he was an expert at studying body language and facial expressions. With that in mind, he was pretty much a living lie detector. However, up till this point, Gerald had been acting so normally that he really couldnât find anything wrong with the individual.
âI didnât. After all, I knew that if I went out, Iâd surely get into a fight with him. The last thing I wanted was to cause an unnecessary ruckus, you see. Honestly, while Iâm curious about his disappearance, I wonât lie that Iâm grateful for that. After all, he wonât be troubling me again anytime soon,â replied Gerald as he shrugged.
âYou say that, but we still need to carefully investigate this! After all, heâs a foreign participant and weâll have to take responsibility for his disappearance! How else are we going to explain all this to the Yanam army? It doesnât help that Yanamâs already elected Carter Lucab to be their armyâs new leader!
Though they usually say a new broom sweeps clean, Iâm afraid that this incident isnât going to end that easily!â said Ichiro in dismay as he placed his hands together.
Throughout his many years investigating missing people cases, there would always be clues left behind to solve the mysteries. Unfortunately, Adler truly seemed to have vanished into thin air⦠Hell, had it not been reported that Adler had gone missing, nobody wouldâve even known that the man existed in the first place!
Regardless, the fact that they still hadnât been able to find a single clue after all this time irritated Ichiro to the point where he wasnât able to eat or sleep properly in the past few daysâ¦
