The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2247
This was pretty much the best place Gerald could think of to safely dispose of Kai. Otherwise, he wouldnât have decided to bring trouble to the old manâs doorstep.
âOh please, this is just a trivial affair. Regardless, if people do come looking for them, Iâll just tell them that they left with you shortly after. In other words, I have no idea where those two Kanagawas are,â
replied the old man with a wink.
âI appreciate it. Speaking of which, though I came here mainly to dispose of Kai, I also have something to discuss,â said Gerald with a much more serious tone.
âGo onâ¦â replied the old man with a nod.
âWell⦠Iâve found a way to get to Yearning Island,â said Gerald after taking a deep breath. Honestly, just talking about it made it difficult to even breathe.
â⦠Hmm? Then what are you still sitting here for? Hurry and rescue your parents and sister! We canât let Daryl continue to use them to threaten you anymore!â declared the old man with a stern expression.
âTo clarify, at the moment, Iâve only found out where I can get information on how to get to the island.
You see, the Seadom tribe has apparently placed everything related to Yearning Island in the ancient ruins in Yanam. Once I get there, I should be able to get the information I need,â replied Gerald with a faint smile. Though he had only met this old man a few times, he couldnât help but respect him as an elder. It was a feeling Gerald hadnât experienced in the longest time.
âThe ancient ruins in Yanam you say⦠Canât say Iâve heard of that place before. Hopefully youâll find it after searching around for a bit. Also, keep in mind that it probably wonât be easy to enter,â muttered the old man after thinking for a bit.
âIâve been there before,â replied Gerald with a nod.
âOh? Thatâs a great start! Was it easy to access?â asked the old man, his expression returning to a relaxed one.
âWell⦠I did bump into an old man guarding the place, but due to my Herculean Primordial Spirit, he ended up greatly respecting me. In fact, he even said that everything there belonged to me, and that I was free to take whatever I wanted. I had no idea why that was when I first visited that place a few months ago, and quite frankly, I still have no idea why all that happened,â replied Gerald with a shrug.
âNow isnât the time to be bothered by that. You should head over quickly to learn how to get to Yearning Island already!â grumbled the old man, sounding much hastier than usual. After all, not only did he want to help Gerald, but he was also curious to find out why Daryl had ended up the way he currently was.
âIâll head off once Iâve settled the Futaba familyâs issues. While itâs true that I initially only got in touch with them to get in contact with the Seadom tribe, now that Iâve gotten this involved with them, I canâ t just leave,â replied Gerald as he shook his head.
âAnd how long do you plan to help them exactly?â asked the old man.
âIâll be off once their current issues are resolved,â replied Gerald who really didnât want to leave the Futabas to fend for themselves, especially since they had now pointed him in the right direction. While it was true that he couldâve eventually learned that the secrets of the Seadom tribe were in the secret ruins in Yanam, by that point, there was a high possibility that he wouldâve been too late to save his parents and sister, and that was a possibility that Gerald didnât want to even think about.
â⦠I can get my family to help you,â suggested the old man after thinking for a while.
âI appreciate it. Then letâs go after the Hanyus first. I really canât rest easy knowing that family is still up and about,â replied Gerald.
âNegative. Focus on saving your family first. You can deal with the Hanyus once youâre done with that,â
said the old man after giving it some thought.
