The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2260
Feeling a chill run down his spine, Carter fought the urge to flee before gesturing for the men surrounding Gerald to leave as he said, âLeave us be.â
Hearing that, the soldiers gave a salute before leaving the office.
The second they were gone, Carter quickly closed the door. Gulping as he walked toward Gerald and handed him a cigarette, Carter then said, âUm⦠So⦠Why exactly have you returned, Geraldâ¦? I-If thereâs anything or anyone you need, just say the word and Iâll help obtain them for youâ¦!â
Lighting the cigarette before sitting on the couch, Gerald then crossed his legs before replying, âIâm not looking for anyone or anything.â
âH-huhâ¦? Then⦠Why are you hereâ¦?â whimpered the terrified Carter.
âIâm just here to sightsee. Or am I not welcome here? Just so you know, I still have the green card issued by your government,â said Gerald, amused by Carterâs hypervigilance. This man was incomparable to Godwin!
âO-of course you areâ¦! I welcome you if youâre just here for thatâ¦! â replied Carter as he placed his hands together.
âGood to hear. Anyway, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll be taking my leave first,â said Gerald as he placed his unfinished cigarette into an ashtray before getting up to leave.
âP-please wait! â called out Carter.
âWhat is it now? Stop wasting my timeâ¦â growled Gerald with a deep frown.
âI-I⦠Please⦠is that the only reason youâre here in Yanamâ¦? Iâm just worried for my countryâs sake after all youâve done here in the pastâ¦â whimpered Carter who had no choice but to be honest since he didnât want to accidentally anger Gerald.
âYouâre worried, you sayâ¦?â replied Gerald as he looked at the terrified man.
âY-yes⦠You should know that Iâm telling the truth since Iâve always been honest with you⦠P-please remember that I was also the one who gave the order for you to safely leave back then⦠Had I not done that, the person in charge of Yanamâs seas wouldâve definitely continued trying to retaliate, you knowâ¦?â stuttered Carter as he revealed an awkward smile, clearly trying to butter Gerald up.
âSo youâre saying I should state my true objective as thanks?â sneered Gerald in response.
âO-of course, not! Iâm just saying that weâll definitely help you if you need anything! In return, I only ask that you donât⦠well⦠go on another rampageâ¦â muttered Carter.
