The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2148
Kai, for one, understood that this was his best shot at getting rid of Gerald. If Gerald somehow left Japan before he managed to do the deed, then Kai was positive that he would lose track of Gerald for good. If that came to be, then heâd have to keep all this bitterness in his heart forever!
â⦠T-thatâ¦â muttered his men as they looked at each other in dismay, wondering how to even proceed.
Seeing how worried they were, Kai then fished a few bank cards out from the carâs compartment and handed one to each of them before saying, âHere. Each of these has a million dollars in them. Feel free to finish the cash up.â
After looking at the cards for a while, eventually, all the subordinates could do was accept them. For one, they knew that Kai was really desperate to end Geraldâs life and that this was his best chance of doing so. However, they were also well aware that they would have to face his mighty wrath if they declined.
Whatever the case was, as all of Kaiâs subordinates thought about it, they slowly assured themselves that such high profile assassins were extremely confidential with their information. With that in mind, as long as nobody said anything, the patriarch would never find out.
Regardless, after the last of his subordinates accepted his cards, Kai was prompted to ask, â⦠I assume weâre all in agreement, then?â
â⦠Only this once, young master⦠However, know that if the master learns about this, weâll be in boiling hot waterâ¦â muttered one of his subordinates. Though the stakes were high, the subordinates couldnât deny that a million dollars was equivalent to six yearsâ worth of salary.
âCut the cr*p and contact those assassins already! We still need to see whoâs willing to take the mission! Remember, the sooner we get rid of Gerald, the sooner this affair will be done with! â replied Kai as he gestured for them to get to it in a slightly impatient tone.
âLoud and clear!â declared his subordinates who immediately got to workâ¦
Back at the training grounds, an entire day of competitions had passed, and it was finally time for the results. Though Aiden didnât score too high, his results werenât bad either. At the very least, his results were above average.
Gerald himself had no idea that Kai had come looking for him in the first place. Since he had rested in the morning, he felt particularly energetic by the time night came. With that in mind, before Aiden returned, Gerald made sure to head to a nearby restaurant to buy him a mountain of food for dinner.
Soon after, Aiden entered the room, looking quite bewildered as he said, â⦠Youâre not going to believe this but⦠Ms. Fujiko got much higher results than meâ¦!â
âHow much higher?â asked Gerald as he watched Aiden take his coat off.
âShe got fourth place in the competition today, which means that sheâs ten ranks above me!â replied Aiden with a shrug. Honestly, he had expected her to rank last.
âFujiko wasnât given the title of âQueen of Soldiersâ for nothing, you know? I have a feeling that if you two duel against each other, sheâll probably win. You could invite her for a duel if youâd like to test that statement!â replied Gerald with a smile.
Gerald was confident in Fujikoâs martial arts skills. After all, he had witnessed how well she had held her ground back when she was being attacked behind the hotel that night. Had it not been for the fact that her physique held her back, she could have definitely taken her assailant out. If that had happened, then Gerald wouldnât have had to step forward to save her.
âIâd rather not⦠Iâm exhausted enough after competing for an entire day⦠Now I just want to have dinner and rest for a while before preparing for tomorrowâs eventsâ¦â said Aiden as he shook his head.
After a full day of competitions, he felt that he was going to collapse at any moment.
âThen letâs eat so you can head to bed early once weâre done,â replied Gerald as he gestured toward the dining table.
With that said, they then began having their meals, making sure to discuss any other issues that needed resolving in between bitesâ¦
Fast forward to the next morning, Aiden and Fujiko left for the training ground again to resume the competition. Gerald and Master Ghost, on the other hand, remained in the living room to discuss the secrets of the sea mapâ¦
Shortly after, a fishing ship could be seen docking the coast of Japanâ¦
