The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2245
Kai just didnât understand. Even if Gerald had lied about not being a good drinker, that drink contained seventy percent of alcoholâ¦! Gerald had drunk six glasses of that alcohol, and any regular adult wouldâve definitely gotten drunk out of their mind after taking that much! Yet here Gerald was, looking completely sober even though Kai was certain that Gerald had Properly drunk every glass! How had Gerald digested all that alcohol so quickly?!
âOh? Is that so?â replied Gerald with a faint smile. Though Kai had said all that, his terrified eyes told Gerald that everything he had guessed was on the mark.
While all this was happening, the old man simply remained silent The elder, for one, knew that he only needed to provide this space for Gerald to do whatever he needed to. While he wasnât sure why Gerald couldnât have just held this conversation back at the Futaba manor, the old man knew better than to inquire about that at the moment.
Whatever the case was, Kai whose forehead was now drenched in sweat then added, âI⦠I mean it!
You, of all people, should know that Iâd never do anything to harm youâ¦!â
âI see⦠and what do you say?â asked Gerald as turned to look at Kaiâs subordinate.
âT-the young master speaks the truth! We were simply trying to give you a relaxing time in hopes that youâd forgive us after all weâve done in the past! We meant no evil!â declared the quivering subordinate.
âHmm⦠Did I wrongly accuse you thenâ¦?â asked Gerald with a slightly raised brow.
âY-you didâ¦! Look, if I really wanted to harm you, wouldnât it have made sense for me to do it while you were drunk? Whyâd I provide you with women if I really wanted to hurt you!â replied Kai with a nod.
âSo thatâs your answerâ¦? Do you really think I didnât hear your conversation earlier?â growled Gerald with a frown.
âT-that⦠H-how do I explain thisâ¦â muttered Kai as he instantly averted his gaze.
âNot the slightest bit of sincerity in you⦠Since thatâs the case, I wonât need to keep you two alive,â
replied Gerald with a sigh.
Realizing that he had truly f*cked up this time, the nervous Kai instantly yelled, âN-no-!â
However, before Kai could say anything else, Gerald simply flicked a toothpick toward the boyâs threat!
The toothpick itself pierced through Kaiâs neck before embedding itself onto the wall like a nail! Though Kai could tell that Gerald had done something since there was now a searing pain in his throat, he hadnât even been able to see Geraldâs attack clearly!
âG-Gerald⦠Youâ¦!â muttered Kai, unable to say anything else due to the immense pain that came whenever he talked. Before long, blood began dripping out from the corners of his mouth.
By this point, even breathing had become difficult for Kai. It felt as though someone was squeezing his neck, and no matter how much Kai tried to breathe, he simply couldnât take in any air.
âY-young masterâ¦!â cried out Kaiâs subordinate as he turned to look at the bloody toothpick that had been embedded into the wall. Easily seeing the connection between the toothpick and Kaiâs agony, the subordinate couldnât help but wonder how all this was even possible! This wasnât some action movieâ¦!
âFirst assassins, now this? You really deserve what youâre currently experiencing. Regardless, I brought you here since I wonât be in much trouble for killing you within the Yamashita familyâs territory,â
retorted Gerald, glaring at Kai the entire time.
