Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2243
Simply shrugging in response, Gerald then replied, âAs Iâve said, Iâm not really interested in such things.â
âT-then tell me what else youâd like to doâ¦? Worry not, Iâll definitely be able to get whatever you ask for! â declared Kai who figured that Gerald hadnât actually figured out what was happening.
For one, Gerald wasnât infuriated yet. With that in mind, Kai realized that Gerald could have just left since he didnât like the women he had chosen for him. If that was the case, then Kai didnât really mind this outcome. After all, though he failed to obtain a way to threaten Gerald, at the very least, he wasnât in trouble yet.
âHmm⦠Well, I have a place in mind. Follow me, Iâll drive you there!â replied Gerald as he tossed his unfinished cigarette to the floor before stomping on it.
Watching as Gerald then walked out, Kai and his confidant were left utterly puzzled. Shortly after, the subordinate inched toward Kaiâs side before whispering, âShould⦠we follow him, young masterâ¦?â
âDo you even dare not to?â grumbled Kai before taking a deep breath. Summoning all the courage in him, Kai then began following Gerald to his car, his subordinate staying close to him at all times.
Once the trio got to the car parked right outside the hotel, Gerald got in the driverâs seat whereas Kai and his confidant sat at the back. Already sensing that something was wrong, Kai cleared his throat before saying, ââ¦Um⦠Geraldâ¦? Where exactly are we headed toâ¦? You know, Iâm sure my subordinate and I can find an even better alternative!â
âJust trust me on this. Iâll be bringing you guys to an extremely nice place,â replied Gerald with a subtle smile as he shook his head before stepping on the gas and heading South.
Though Gerald drove at nearly a hundred and fifty miles per hour, Kai and his subordinate who kept their backs glued against the back of their seats throughout the journey remained silent for fear that they would accidentally offend Gerald.
However, after about two hours of driving, Kai was starting to get worried out of his mind. After all, dawn had already come and they still had no idea where Gerald was taking them! It was half an hour later when Kai finally gave in to fear and asked, ââ¦Um⦠Geraldâ¦? Where are we goingâ¦?â
âYouâll know once we get there,â replied Gerald in an indifferent tone.
It was around ten in the morning when Gerald finally stopped the car atop a barren mountain.
â⦠The⦠Yamashita familyâs territoryâ¦?â muttered the stunned Kai.
Thinking back, hadnât Ryugu told him that Gerald had a good relationship with the Yamashitas? The thought of that alone was already starting to worry Kai.
âGet out,â ordered Gerald as he opened the door to the back seat.
Doing as he was told, Kai whose legs were now shaky couldnât help but ask, ââ¦Why⦠are we here, Geraldâ¦?â
Though he knew that following Gerald was bad news, there was simply no escaping himâ¦!
âHmm? I just brought you over to have a nice chat. Donât worry, thereâll be tea,â replied Gerald with a subtle smile as he patted Kai on the shoulder. Though Geraldâs pats werenât particularly strong, the terrified Kaiâs legs were already close to giving in.
Just as the two got out and Gerald closed the car door behind them, an unfamiliar voice greeted, âHmm? If it isnât Mr. Crawford! Itâs been a while!â
