The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2154
âOhâ¦? What agendas could I probably have?â asked Gerald as he raised a slight brow, clearly not expecting the colonel to ask that.
âDonât get me wrong, but since Iâm the one in charge, I need to remain vigilant at all times. Weâre all aware of the giant mess you created back in Yanam, Gerald. With the Yanam militaryâs leader missing which is why Carter is now in charge Iâm simply worried that you may do the same to our military,â
replied Oda as he stated at Gerald.
With how dangerous this mission was, Oda knew that if things got out of control, there was a high chance that anyone present would be as good as deadâ¦
Hearing that, Gerald burst out laughing before explaining, âWhile I can understand where youâre coming from, Iâm afraid you still donât understand how I operate. You see, I only did that to the Yanam military since they kidnapped my friend. They even used his life to threaten me, you see. With that in mind, I assume youâll see things from my point of View?â
âI have heard about that too,â replied Oda who had previously been told the same thing while he was researching the Yanam incident.
Honestly, Oda wouldâve tried his best to save his friend as well if they were kidnapped by the Yanam military. Of course, he wasnât as strong as Gerald, so he wouldâve used other methods to do so.
Whatever the case was, Gerald then said, âEither way, Iâm just helping you since I get along well with Noda. I wonât deny that Iâm just doing this because Iâm bored either. However, if you still think Iâm too dangerous, feel free to reject my offer. If you do, I wonât ask any further about this affair,â said Gerald in a low voice.
While there was an instant change in Ichiroâs expression upon hearing that, since Oda was present, Ichiro remained silent on the spotâ¦
Shaking his head, the colonel quickly replied, âJust to be clear, this affair is between you and Ichiro. I have nothing to do with any of this, and Iâm just making a routine inquiry. With that said, youâre free to help, though if anything happens, know that Ichiroâs to bear full responsibility.â
Oda, for one, knew better than to mess with a strong person like Gerald. Even so, he couldnât deny that Gerald was a very viable solution to capturing the culprit. Regardless, since this conversation had been recorded by the recording system in the office, Oda now knew that if any trouble arose, Ichiro would be the one to blame instead of him.
âDonât worry, sir! Gerald and I will definitely capture all the culprits in no time flat!â declared Ichiro as he patted his chest.
âI await your good news, then. Speaking of which, youâre a Westoner, right, Gerald? Iâll be giving you a temporary identity in the meantime since I canât think of any other way to justify you working for our militaryâs investigation team. Thisâll make things much more convenient for you as well,â replied Oda as he opened his drawer and took an insignia out before handing it to Gerald.
Looking at the words on the insignia, Gerald then read out, âInvestigation team temporary investigatorâ¦â
âIndeed. That will be your current identity. Thankfully, you donât hold any governmental positions in Weston or this would be against your countryâs laws⦠Regardless, go ahead and start investigating. Iâll be heading back to monitor the competition, but if thereâs anything you two find, inform me immediately, got that?â said Oda as he nodded before leaving the office.
Regardless, now that Oda had agreed, Ichiro instantly felt relieved. With Geraldâs help, they were certainly going to crack the case in the nick of time! Now fully motivated, Ichiro turned to face Gerald before declaring, âIâll be counting on you from now on, Gerald!â
âLikewise. And donât worry too much, Iâm just using this as an excuse to pass time,â replied Gerald as he smiled while shaking his headâ¦
