Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2169
âNo, actually⦠While itâs true that Will is the patriarchâs adopted child and that he has a high status within the family, the patriarch has honestly always been on guard around him⦠In fact, the patriarch has made sure to disallow Will from entering Several important places on the island, including the backyard where the patriarch lives. I, for one, have never seen Will enter that placeâ¦â muttered Amare with a slight frown.
â⦠I see. Well, what matters is that theyâre still safe⦠Iâm at least relieved to hear thatâ¦â said Gerald as he let out a sigh, the weight of his immense worry finally lifted.
A brief moment later, Gerald turned to look at Amare before saying, â⦠Either way, you can leave now.
Also, if you wish to remain alive, remember not to say a thing about what happened here tonight.
Understand?â
âGot it. If Will asks me about this, Iâll just tell him that I failed to locate you in Japan,â replied Amare with a nod.
âI trust you, now leave,â said Gerald as he gestured for Amare to go.
Bowing toward Gerald, it was clear that he was feeling thankful toward the youth. At that moment, he made up his mind that if Gerald ever set foot on Yearning Island one day, he would adamantly refuse to fight against him, even though the family would punish him for it.
Regardless, after tossing away his cigarette butt, Amare quickly disappeared into the darkness. Gerald himself simply continued smoking his own cigarette as a cold breeze caressed his cheekâ¦
Shortly after, the cigarette burned out, and Gerald shook his head before starting to walk toward Vultureâs corpseâ¦
Searching the dead manâs body, Gerald couldnât help but mutter, âSo you Kanagawas still arenât willing to give up, huh? Then thereâs no need for your family to remain in Japanâ¦!â
Whatever the case was, aside from a pack of cigarettes and a few bullets, Gerald couldnât find any form of identification on Vulture. Since these didnât interest Gerald, the youth simply sighed as he placed a hand on the corpseâs bodyâ¦
Mobilizing his Herculean Primordial Spirit, he then began releasing a blazing heat from his palm⦠and in just a few seconds, Vultureâs body completely evaporated. Since Gerald had used his essential qi to do the deed, not even the corpseâs smell remained. Just like Adler, Vulture would simply mysteriously vanish from the face of the planet⦠Either way, now that that was taken care of, Gerald quickly turned around to leave.
â¦
Soon after, he arrived at his guest room where Master Ghost and Aiden could be seen waiting patiently on the sofa.
Upon seeing Gerald, Aiden immediately hopped to his feet before checking around Geraldâs body while asking, âBrother Gerald! You arenât injured, are you?â
âOf course, not. Shouldnât you be well aware of my strength by now?â replied Gerald with a laugh as he closed the door behind him.
âHas everything been settled?â asked Master Ghost as he stepped forward as well.
âIn a way. As it turned out, the Yanam soldier really was murdered by the Crawford cultivator. I fought him earlier, and though he definitely wasnât weak, he wasnât as strong as I had initially anticipated either. With that said, I just let him off the hook,â replied Gerald as he took his jacket off before walking to the water dispenser to get himself a drink.
âYou⦠let him goâ¦? Why?â asked Master Ghost and Aiden, feeling rightfully puzzled.
âI just donât want to kill other Crawfords if I can help it. After all, the one who abducted my parents was Daryl, not them. Besides, since I spared his life, he now owes me a favor,â replied Gerald as he put his paper cup downâ¦
