The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2204
âOf course I-!â
Realizing that he had accidentally declared his true thoughts, Kai quickly bit his tongue before clearing his throat as he said, â⦠That was a slip of the tongue. While I donât like you, I donât hate you to the point of wanting you dead either! The conflict between us just isnât that serious! Speaking of which, Iâm not interested in Fujiko anymore! If you want her so much, you can have her!â
âCut the cr*p, Mr. Kanagawa. Look, thereâs only the two of us here. Tell me the truth, and maybe Iâll let you off. Mind you, this is only because Iâm paying respect to your father,â replied Gerald as he gestured for Aiden to leave them be for now.
âB-but I never hired anyone to assassinate youâ¦!â muttered Kai as he averted his gaze. Kai, for one, didnât believe Gerald at all. After all, he was currently trapped someplace where his screams for help couldnât be heard! With that in mind, he was sure that once he admitted to hiring Vulture, he was definitely going to die here todayâ¦! Besides, he was still pretty sure that Vulture hadnât betrayed him.
âIs that soâ¦?â replied Gerald as he shook his head before narrowing his eyes at the terrified man.
Watching as Gerald then lit a cigarette before squatting before him, Kai gulped as he stuttered, âL-look, if you donât have the evidence that I hired the assassin, then youâre essentially just kidnapping me! The law will be after your head!â
âOh? So you do know a bit about the law. Unfortunately for you, the Japanese law canât protect you here,â replied Gerald with a smug smile before he got to his feet and stomped on Kaiâs hand!
âI-it hurtsâ¦!â cried Kai, now more terrified than ever.
After all, nobody had even dared to bully him before as a child! This harsh treatment was unlike anything he had ever experienced beforeâ¦!
When Gerald intensified the force of his foot and Kai attempted to withdraw his hand, he quickly realized that aside from the excruciating pain he couldnât even move his fingers anymore! N ow lying on the ground almost completely paralyzed from pain, Kai raised his head, glaring at Gerald as he growled, âW-what the hell are you trying to achieve, Geraldâ¦?! Iâm the young master of the Kanagawa familyâ¦! If you dare do anything else to me, youâll surely pay a heavy price!â
Ignoring Kaiâs threats, Gerald simply increased the force of his foot, sending even more jolts of pain running down Kaiâs armâ¦!
Unable to bear the pain any longer, Kai who felt that all the bones in his hand would shatter if he didnât act quick cried out, âI⦠Iâll say it! Iâll tell you everything I knowâ¦!â
âGo on,â replied Gerald as he slowly lifted his leg, his eyebrow raised the entire time.
âI-itâs true that I hired that assassin⦠His name is Vulture, and heâs ranked seventh in the international assassin listâ¦!â whimpered Kai as he held onto his aching hand.
âOh? Seventh, you say? You must really want me dead,â replied Gerald, feeling slightly surprised. No wonder he sensed that Vulture was a little too strong to be a regular assassin back then.
