Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2297
Upon hearing that, Gerald quickly replied, âNo worries there. Aiden and I will just head over to have a look.â
âAgreed!â added Aiden who wouldâve requested to do so even if Gerald hadnât wanted him to come along in the first place.
Hearing that, Fujiko then said, âIâm coming along too!â
âJust stay here. Donât worry, Iâll definitely ask for your help in the future when I need it,â replied Gerald as he shook his head.
âBut⦠Iâm stronger than Aiden! â muttered Fujiko, feeling slightly puzzled.
âTake into consideration that weâll be making our move at night. With that said, itâd be slightly inappropriate for you to be with two men in the dark. Besides, we wonât know where Maddox will go, so Iâd prefer if only Aiden came along with me,â replied Gerald.
Hearing how resolute he was, Fujiko had no choice but to obey. After all, she remembered promising him that sheâd listen to all his orders as long as he allowed her to follow him to Yanam back then. With that said, sheâd rather listen than to potentially get sent back to Japan.
Regardless, pleased to hear that Gerald and Aiden were stepping in, Lucian who knew how powerful Gerald was then said, âIâll be notifying my friend about this so that they can cooperate with you once youâre there, then!â
If they truly managed to locate Lindsay, then theyâd surely be able to bring her back by dawn.
âUnnecessary. Aiden and I will just wait at the entrance of the military base. Speaking of which, I need to know what he looks like,â replied Gerald whoâd rather not trouble others if he could do it himself.
âHold on, let me find a picture of him,â said Lucian as he fished his phone out. After scrolling through several pictures, he finally managed to find the group photograph that had been taken during an event that had Maddox in it.
Showing it to Gerald, the youth then took a careful look at it before replying, âAlright, Iâve memorized his face.â
âGlad to hear. Either way, though youâre heading over at night, do be careful. Remember, since Maddox was trying to lure you over in the first place, he probably has all sorts of preparations to deal with you should you appear!â muttered Lucian after lowering his phone in a slightly worried tone.
âNo worries, dealing with such people is a piece of cake for me,â replied Gerald with a hearty laugh before patting his chest.
âWell, Iâm sure the mission will go swimmingly then! Either way, since youâre making a move tonight, we may as well eat early so that you can rest a bit after the meal.â
Seeing that it was two in the afternoon, Lucian turned to face his butler before adding, âOrder the chefs to prepare some food.â
âRight away, master,â replied the butler with a nod before hurrying out. About half an hour later, a multitude of dishes were served.
Throughout their meal, Lucian made sure to tell Gerald everything he knew about Maddox and the military in general. Naturally, Gerald made sure to note everything down. Once their meal was over, instead of heading back to their rooms to rest, all of them simply sat around in the reception room. It was when dusk began to fall when Gerald patted Aiden on the shoulder, prompting the duo to leave the reception room.
After they had left for a while, Lucian looked at his butler before saying, âHave some of our men follow them from a distance. While the priority is to keep both of them safe, should danger befall the duo, tell our men not to do anything rash. Instead, they have to report to me.â
While he was confident in Geraldâs strength, Lucian knew that Maddox was no ordinary person. With that in mind, Lucian was sure that the man had set several traps up for Gerald, and he was simply worried that Gerald would end up falling into one of them.
