The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2137
There was actually a Weston man in a ninja family.
Plus, Gerald didnât even know the reason as to why he had helped Gerald. Maybe there was something he wanted to know from Gerald.
Nevertheless, after the war contest ended, Gerald would head back there to at least find out the secrets of the elderly man. If he could be of help to Gerald, it would be much easier when he faced the Kanagawa and Hanyu families.
Without him realizing it, Gerald felt a wave of tiredness. Due to not detecting any danger, he lay back down on the bed and fell asleep. His cigarette fell to the ground after it had finished burning.
In the morning, Gerald was woken up by a call.
The one who woke Gerald up was none other than Noda Ichiro.
âMr. Gerald, may I know where you are now?â Gerald opened his sleepy eyes and picked up the call after briefly looking at the caller ID. Nodaâs slightly rushed voice was heard over the phone as soon as it was picked up.
âIâm resting in a room in your training ground.â Gerald knitted his brows together slightly. Just as he could finally have a good sleep with no worries, he was woken up by someone, and this obviously made him a bit unhappy.
âDonât go anywhere and wait for me right there, Iâll be there immediately!â He could hear that Nodaâs tone had apparently relaxed. After saying that, he hung up the call right then.
Gerald scratched his head, not understanding what this man wanted, but he nonetheless got up and cleaned himself up. The man was, after all, the Japanese army investigator, and there must be a reason as to why he was coming over. Therefore, Gerald couldnât refuse to see him.
As soon as he had come out of the bathroom, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Noda entered in a panic after the door was opened for him. He first looked at Gerald up and down, only to find that Gerald looked as though he had just woken up, and his worry then went away.
âMr. Noda, itâs not the first time weâve met. You can just tell me anything right away,â Seeing his reaction, Gerald said with a chuckle.
âIâll be frank, then.â Noda swallowed and continued, âThe Yanam special forces agent has bizarrely disappeared, and itâs most likely a murder case based on our investigation.â
âOh?â Gerald was taken aback, but he still asked casually, âDid you find Alder Lightbodyâs body or any information?â
âItâs not him. We havenât stopped investigating Alderâs disappearance, but we have found nothing about it until now. Itâs as if this man just vanished out of thin air, I havenât seen anything as bizarre as this for so many years! â Noda shook his head and said.
He paused for a while before continuing, âHowever, Iâm not talking about him. Itâs the Yanam special forces agent who just arrived last night to replace Alder in the war contest. He too has disappeared, but he might have been murdered based on what we saw on the surveillance camera and the scene.â
âHe died too?!â
Hearing his words, Gerald felt that it was unbelievable. It was true that he had killed Alder, but Gerald hadnât paid any attention to that new special forces agent at all as he had no reason to kill him.
This was somebody elseâs work.
Gerald grew a bit curious as to who would do this at this time when they all knew that the war contest was about to start and that there was tight surveillance around the area. It would have been better to do it on his way back to Yanam after the contest was over.
âThatâs right! He didnât attend this morningâs training, so we went to search for him in his room and only got to know about this after tracking him with the surveillance system.â Noda nodded.
He felt like he was still in a dream. Alderâs disappearance still hadnât been figured out and yet, this had happened as well!
