The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2160
âSensed anything back there?â asked Master Ghost who had a vague idea of what Gerald had experienced.
âIndeed⦠Remember that man in the Windbreaker? One of the suspects sitting on the sofa?â replied Gerald with a slight frown.
âI do. I made sure to memorize all their appearances,â said Master Ghost with a nod.
âWell, I have a feeling that heâs the Crawford cultivator, though I canât be certain just yetâ¦
Regardless, Iâm heading out later tonight,â replied Gerald as he continued huffing on his cigarette. In no time flat, the cigaretteâs lifespan had endedâ¦
âAre you planning to secretly get rid of him?â asked Master Ghost.
âNegative. Again, I specify that it was only a gut feeling. Until Iâm sure, I wonât lay a finger on him.
Regardless, since I was able to notice him, Iâm sure he noticed me as well. In fact, it was probably when Ichiro first mentioned my name when I realized I was being stared at. Either way, my plan tonight is to slightly expose my cultivation to draw that person out. Once I confirm that heâs a Crawford cultivator, Iâll get rid of him swiftly,â explained Gerald as he placed his burnt out cigarette in an ashtray.
âI see⦠Speaking of which, were you able to get a grasp of how strong he was? After calculating for a bit, I feel heâs weaker than you, though you shouldnât let your guard down till youâre absolutely sure,â
replied Master Ghost in a slightly worried tone.
âDonât worry about it. I donât really treat anyone from the Crawford family seriously aside from Will who wants to compete with me so much just to secure his position as âheir of the Crawfordsâ. Quite honestly, Iâd like to meet him just to see how well my grandpaâs insight is,â scoffed Gerald before shaking his head with a smile.
âWell⦠Since youâve said that, I wonât ask any further than that⦠Still, do be careful. After all, in the end, the Crawfords are still a cultivating family. After suffering consecutive losses in your hands, Iâm just worried that they sent a stronger cultivator after your head this timeâ¦â muttered Master Ghost.
While it was true that Gerald was inhumanly strong, the Crawfords still had hundreds of yearsâ worth of experience as cultivators. With that in mind, nobody truly knew how strong that family wasâ¦
Hearing that, Gerald simply chuckled before patting Master Ghostâs shoulder as he said, âIf youâre so worried, why donât you do some calculations to see how dangerous this encounter will be.â
âThatâs unnecessary,â replied Master Ghost as he waved his handâ¦
Following that, Gerald took a cold shower. Once he was done, he took the photographs of his parents, elder sister, and Mila out⦠By the time he finally peeled his gaze from the pictures, the sky was already darkeningâ¦
Upon hearing a few messy footsteps walking past his window, be carefully returned the photographs into his pocket before lighting a cigarette and heading toward the window to look downstairs⦠Only to see Ichiro and the rest of the investigation team walking away.
From how dejected they looked, Gerald figured that they hadnât been able to gather anything. Then again, if the Crawford cultivator truly was the one responsible for that death, then it was pretty much impossible for regular people like them to gain any new hints.
Whatever the case was, once they were out of sight, Gerald tossed his cigarette away before slipping his coat onâ¦
Soon enough, he was walking past the training groundâs large entrance⦠and the second he left the area, Gerald immediately activated his Herculean Primordial Spirit, making sure to expel some essential qi at the same timeâ¦
Barely even seconds later, Amare who had just been cleared of his suspicion was alerted to the sudden fluctuation of essential qi.
With that, he opened his room window⦠and in no time at all, his figure vanished from the spot.
He only had a day left before he had to leave Japan⦠He needed to act quickly or Daryl would surely punish him for returning lateâ¦
