The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2186
Takuyaâs sudden anger made everyone stunned, and they did not dare to speak. Even though they didnât have any respect for this patriarch at all, this didnât mean that his power wasnât still there.
Based on Japanese laws, if someone in a family went against the patriarchâs order, not only did they need to bear the consequences of both family law and legal aspects.
The fact that they dared to leave the family and even use the familyâs name to gain certain benefits was all because they saw Takuya as a down to earth man, and that he wouldnât do anything to them seeing as how they were all part of the Futaba family.
âTakuya, I know that Fujiko is your daughter, and that is why you want the best for her, but as a patriarch, you have to put the whole family first! We need the Kanagawa familyâs help anyway. If we break the marriage promise, not only will the Kanagawa family not help us, but they might even turn around and attack us. We really canât bear the consequences anymore!â
Seeing Takuya become enraged, Masaru tried to persuade Takuya, trying to make it seem as though he had always wanted the best for the whole family, which was why he had asked whether Gerald had any power or status that could possibly help the family.
âIf Gerald could get some help from his family, maybe we wonât be in danger anymore. However, with the feud from the Hanyu and Kanagawa families whom he offended, regular families might not be able to help us out.â
âIf you can get help from the Yamashita family, we wouldnât care about the matter between you and Fujiko anymore!â
Right then, Futaba Suke, who had been quiet the whole time, spoke up suddenly, fixing his eyes upon Gerald as he snickered.
âWhat are you joking about? The Yamashitas have never had any connections with any of the families in Japan. It would practically be impossible for Gerald, someone from Weston, to even talk with the Yamashita family let alone ask them for help.â
âThatâs right, I think itâs better not to waste any time anymore!â
The others all agreed. Putting Gerald aside, none of them would be able to talk with anyone from the Yamashita family either.
âHahaha!â
Out of the blue, Takuya burst out laughing.
âDid you all see the people standing at the manorâs gate upon entering?â Gerald held his hands behind him as he smiled lightly.
âWhat does it matter whether we saw them or not? Donât tell me those people are from the Yamashita family who are here to protect you?â Suke sneered. He was confident that Gerald wouldnât be able to form a connection with the Yamashita family, which was why he had said all of this to make a fool out of Gerald in front of the other family members.
âYouâre quite smart arenât you.â Gerald raised his eyebrow.
âHow shameless can you be, Gerald?! The Yamashita family has never made any connections with any other families at all, and this isnât a secret in Japan. Youâre actually telling us that the tens of men standing at the gate are from the Yamashita family. This is the best joke Iâve ever heard in years.â
Suke glared at Gerald as he tapped his feet against the floor continuously.
âLet them in, Aiden, â Gerald turned around and spoke to Aiden, who was standing behind him. He couldnât be bothered to explain it any further to Suke.
âAlright. â Although Aiden didnât understand what was happening, he listened to Geraldâs words and walked outside.
âWhat a joke! Youâre actually saying that theyâre the Yamashita familyâs men. Iâll see who they truly are now.â Suke was still sneering. âHowever, if theyâre not the Yamashita familyâs men, you have to crawl beneath my crotch and scram out of here, Gerald.â
âOf course.â
