Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2174

Upon hearing that, Takuya immediately shook his head with a chuckle before saying, “… You’re joking, right…?”

While it was true that Gerald was inhumanly strong, there was no way he was going to be able to take on such a large and powerful family alone, right…?

“Oh, I meant every word I said, patriarch Takuya. Do you not believe me?” asked Gerald in a serious tone, signifying that he wouldn’t joke about something like this. After all, getting the Futabas out of this crisis was his one way ticket to learning the secrets of the Seadom tribe.

Thinking about all the times Gerald had protected his daughter and putting Gerald’s serious tone into consideration, Takuya eventually replied, “… I believe you!”

“Good. With that said, just give me some time to exterminate the Kanagawas. As for Endo and Izumi, I propose that we end them as soon as possible,” replied Gerald with a smile.

“Well, had they not had the information we needed, I would’ve killed them ages ago. Now that we know their identities, however, there’s no reason to continue letting them live!” declared Takuya as he nodded in agreement.

“That’s good to hear. Well, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be heading out first. I’ll be back before night,” replied Gerald as he got to his feet.

“Oh? Where to?” asked Takuya.

“I’m just going to where the Yamashitas are. I still have some questions that need answering,” replied Gerald, remembering the promise that old man had made with him back then. Gerald still found it hard to believe that that old man had helped them slip past Ryugu…

Hearing that, Takuya was momentarily taken aback ash e exclaimed, “You… Know the Yamashitas?”

“Actually, before that, have you contacted them before, father?” asked Fujiko who just recalled what that old man had said to her back then.

“… Huh? Why would I have contacted them? If I had, our family wouldn’t be in such a poor state today!

After all, there are infamous rumors that the Yamashitas have ninjas in their family!” replied Takuya as he shook his head.

“… But… that old man said…” muttered Fujiko, clearly at a loss. After all, if her father hadn’t contacted that old man before, why would that old man have said that he had met her before as a child?

Knowing that her father wouldn’t lie to her, a sudden thought came to Fujiko, prompting her to look at Gerald. From what she could now guess, the old man had probably only stepped in because of Gerald.

In other words, he must have only said that to deceive Ryugu.

“… Old man? What old man? Actually, hold on, why’s the Yamashita family suddenly involved?” asked the confused Takuya.

“Just know that it isn’t a bad thing, patriarch Takuya. Regardless, I’ll be off now. If anything happens, I’ll be sure to tell you when I return,” replied Gerald.

Hearing that, Takuya breathed a sigh of relief before saying, “… Alright, then. Take care!”

Watching as Gerald headed outside, Fujiko quickly got up as well as she shouted, “Wait! I’m coming with you!”

As the two left the scene, Takuya could only scratch the back of his head as he turned to look at Aideen and Master Ghost who were still drinking tea there.

“Just so you know, all this happened without us being there. With that said, there’s no point in asking about the situation from us, patriarch Takuya,” explained Master Ghost.
