Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2209
Before they were even able to step away from the car, they watched as a security guard came running over to them. After briefly sizing Gerald up, the guard then said, âIâm sorry, but you canât park here without permission! This parking area belongs to the consortium! With that said, please leave!â
Upon hearing that, Gerald couldnât help but frown slightly. While he knew that this guard was simply acting according to protocol, it didnât change the fact that the guardâs tone was annoying. Whatever the case was, Gerald simply replied, âIâm here to meet Derrick Zima. If heâs in, just tell him that Geraldâs looking for him.â
âDerrick Zima? Are you even aware that heâs the chairman of the Fareast Consortium? With that said, who do you think you are? Do you think heâll meet you just because you want him to? Either way, beat it already before I call more guards over to kick you out!â scoffed the guard after laughing out loud.
Upon hearing that name, Aiden couldnât help but whisper in Geraldâs ear, âThe consortiumâs boss is a Westonerâ¦?â
âIndeed. He came over to Japan a few decades ago to make a living, and with a bit of luck, he managed to get to where he is today. Well, I say that, but heâs quite strong as well, which is probably how he avoided getting sifted out in the beginning,â explained Gerald with a nod. While he didnât know much about Derrick, Gerald was certain about Derrickâs strength.
âCease the whispering and get lost already before I get angry⦠Just so you two know, literally everyone wants to meet the chairman! Just so you know, even superiors of the military have to make appointments just to get to meet him! That should explain plenty, so beat it and stop wasting my time!
Consider this my last warning before I call more guards over!â grumbled the guard when he realized that the two werenât keen on leaving anytime soon. Had it not been for the fact that there were so many people around, he wouldâve surely shoved them away by now!
âLetâs not get too cocky, shall we? Listen here, your chairman is my friendâs old pal, and he owes him a favor! How about you stop wasting our time and tell him about us already!â scowled Aiden who was getting slightly impatient.
âHah! What a joke! Iâve never heard the chairman owing anyone favors before!â retorted the guard with a roar of laughter.
âIâll just call him,â replied Gerald who didnât want to waste any more time here.
Turnng around to make his call, it was barely even a second after he dialed Derrickâs number when the call connected and an excited voice asked, âGerald?â
âItâs been a while. First thingâs first, Iâm currently at your consortiumâs ground floor to discuss some things with you. However, your guardâs blocking my way,â replied Gerald.
âYouâre where?! Give me a few minutes. Iâ ll be there in no time,â said Derrick before hanging up.
Slipping his phone into his pocket, Gerald then looked at Aiden before saying, âHeâs coming down soon.â
âAre you guys for real? You should consider acting as a career, you almost look like the real deal!
Regardless, letâs see if the chairman actually comes over!â scoffed the guard as he laughed heartily, thinking that Gerald had lost his marbles.
With how loudly he had been speaking about the chairman, the surrounding people couldnât help but flock around the trio. By the end of it, there were about ten people whispering among themselves, wondering how this would end.
