The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2224
â⦠Come to think of it, Iâm pretty sure that the Japanese military kept my identity highly confidential as well. With that in mind, aside from those from our family, nobody else shouldâve been able to find out that I was participating in the competition!â muttered Fujiko, getting equally as curious.
âI see⦠so the chances of all information coming from within our family is rather high⦠While we canât be sure that itâs Suke, itâs undeniable that his absence today is slightly oddâ¦â replied Takuya as he stroked his beard.
After thinking about it for a while, Gerald was prompted to ask, ââ¦Do you think heâs at the Hanyu manor? After all, if he truly wishes to have his revenge on me for making him crawl under my crotch, I assume his go to would be the Hanyus. However, since I did just threaten them a bit earlier, Iâm sure they wonât dare to make a move on us yet. With that in mind, heâs probably staying with them for the moment.â
Honestly, thinking back, Suke was the most likely person to have done all this.
â⦠When you put it that way, it does start to make sense. If thereâs a snitch in our family, Suke truly is the most likely person to have notified the Hanyus!â replied Takuya who had honestly been suspicious of Suke from the moment their family started falling.
It certainly didnât help that over the years, Takuyaâs suspicion toward Suke had only grown more and more profound. Sadly enough, though his gut pointed at Suke being the snitch, Takuya had never been able to gather any solid evidence.
Whatever the case was, Fujiko who was keen on finding the person who had brought so much harm to her family then impatiently asked, âWell, how do you propose we get more evidence thenâ¦?â
âUnfortunately, even I donât know for now,â replied Gerald as he shook his head.
âWell, either way, letâs not bother about him first. We should be focusing on our collaboration with the Fareast Consortium! Though weâll naturally fight back if the Hanyus start looking for trouble again, until then, we shouldnât allow them to impede our progress with the collaboration! After all, the fate of our family depends on it!â muttered Takuya after taking in a deep Breath. Takuya, for one, wasnât keen to accept that his familyâs glory that had lasted for a few centuries would end up getting ruined in his hands.
Upon hearing that, Gerald simply replied, âJust leave the Hanyus and Kanagawas to me.â
âThat⦠I really donât know what to say anymore, brother Gerald⦠Not only have you brought these business contracts to our family, but youâre also helping us deal with our enemies!â muttered Takuya with a long sigh.
âWell⦠Since weâve already known each other for quite a while, I think itâs high time I asked for your help in returnâ¦â replied Gerald as he narrowed his eyes slightly. It had been about a month since he had last come to Japan, and he really didnât want to delay this any further. While he was still going to help solve all the Futabaâs problems before he left, the sooner he Learned about the secrets of Yearning Island, the sooner heâd be able to start planning how to save his sister and parents.
ââ¦Hmm? Just say the word and Iâll help you with it!â declared Takuya as he quickly sat up straight.
Fujiko herself couldnât help but hold her breath. It was finally time for her to find out why Gerald had been helping them so muchâ¦!
After turning to look at both Aiden and Master Ghost who both nodded in response, Gerald then pointed at Fujikoâs pendant before saying, âThis is what I need help with!â
âSo⦠You⦠need help with getting engaged to Fujikoâ¦? If thatâs the case, I can set the wedding up in just a few days!â replied Takuya, a broad smile now on his face.
Hearing that, Fujiko who honestly still liked Gerald a lot couldnât help but go red as she exclaimed, âF-
father! What are you even saying!â
Coughing awkwardly in response, Gerald who didnât want this misunderstanding to get worse quickly clarified, âWhat I meant was her pendantâ¦â
