Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2167

“J-just ask me anything you wish to know! I’ll share anything that I can answer…! ” said Amare as he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gerald’s hand retracting.

Sitting right in front of him, Gerald simply replied in a hushed tone, “First off, was it Will who told you to assassinate me?”

“I-it was… You see, the patriarch sent me off to do some errands for him, but just before I left, Will called me over to his room to give me the assassination order Since he’s the patriarch’s successor, I couldn’t just refuse…”

Smiling subtly in response, Gerald then said, “I see. Come to think of it, aren’t you worried that Daryl will find out about this?”

Gerald, for one, had figured that only Will wanted him dead. As far as he knew, Daryl was only interested in testing his abilities.

“W-well… as long as I return in time, the patriarch shouldn’t find out… I was already planning to leave this afternoon, you know? But then you suddenly showed up…! What more, just as I was wondering how to make a move on you earlier, you took the initiative to bait me out here with your essential qi! I couldn’t say no to that!” replied Amare with a sigh.

Had he known that things would end this way, he would’ve never agreed to Will’s request…

Nodding in response, Gerald thought for a bit before asking, “… And are you the one who killed that special forces agent from Yanam?”

“… That… was me, yes…” replied Amare as he reluctantly nodded.

“I see… Putting that aside, I have one final question. As long as you give me an honest answer, I’ll spare your life and let you leave unharmed. How do I get to Yearning Island?” asked Gerald as he narrowed his eyes at Amare.

Now that all his other questions had been answered, Gerald made sure to save the best for last. While it was true that he had managed to find Fujiko thus potentially allowing him to contact the Seadom tribe, if he managed to get the information straight from Amare, then he’d be able to start making plans much earlier.

“… Trust me when I say… I don’t know either…” muttered Amare.

“… What? Aren’t you a top cultivator of the Crawford family? How could you not know about this?”

replied Gerald with a slight frown. This was the exact same reply he had gotten from Will’s previous men!

“I swear! I really don’t know! Aside from the patriarch and a few core clansmen, the rest of us are left in the dark about all this…!” explained Amare.

“Then how did you leave the island? And how are you going to return?” asked Gerald as he raised a brow.

“Leaving the island is easy… All we need to do is to take a boat and sail for about ten kilometers before we enter the ocean… However, if we wish to go back, we’ll need to inform the family in advance…

Following that, either the patriarch or a senior member will guide us back…” explained Amare.

“… I’ll ask one final time. Do you truly not know the way back to the island?” asked Gerald as he lit a cigarette and began puffing it.

“My answer remains the same… While Yearning Island may seem like a regular island, I’ve never been able to see it on my way back from sea… The only way I can get to the island is if I send a message to the family and sail for a little while more… Shortly after, I’ll be able to see the vague outlines of the island, and that’s howl usually get back..” replied Amare as he shook his head.

Truth be told, Amare was just as curious about the island as Gerald was. In fact, he had even tried asking the other family members about this in the past, though he would end up getting harshly reprimanded every time he did so. Due to that, he eventually stopped asking…

Regardless, after a brief silence, Gerald nodded before saying, “… I believe you.”

Though he didn’t believe Will’s men before this, Amare’s case was different. After all, Amare was currently in a life or death situation. Because of that, Gerald knew he wouldn’t lie. Besides, Amare’s answer was way too similar to what Will’s men had said for it to be a mere coincidence.

However, even if Amare and Will’s men had simply been trained to give the exact same answer if they were caught, Gerald didn’t really mind. After all, he knew that he was going to learn the secrets of Yearning Island from the Seadom tribe sooner or later…
