Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2061
“It’s a routine of mine,” replied Gerald with a smile.
“I see… Either way, care to have some tea with me in my tea room? The tea itself was delivered a while back ago
from Mount Wellyork in Weston. Also, I have some things to update you on,” said Takuya as he pointed at the tea
room that wasn’t too far off.
Naturally, Gerald didn’t refuse, and soon enough, both of them were seated in the tea room…
As Takuya prepared the tea, he told Gerald that his men had reported back to him earlier on. Following that, he
added, “After telling my men to head to where you saved my daughter last night, they found that the Hanyus were
already actively trying to find out more about you. With that in mind, I propose that you extend your stay with us till
the danger is lifted…”

It was only after Gerald sipped some tea—that Takuya had just served—when he replied, “I see… I appreciate it.
Still, why exactly do the Hanyus want Miss Fujiko dead…?”
While Gerald didn’t want to further provoke an assassin family, after giving it some thought the night before, he
figured that since he was already involved in all this, he may as well get rid of the Hanyus for good. After all, that
would surely improve Takuya’s impression of him, and doing so could possibly be enough for him to start asking
about the Seadom tribe…
“It’s… a long story. As I’ve said before, the Hanyus and our family have been enemies for generations.
Unfortunately, the feud between our families had already been a thing ever since I was a child. With that in mind, I
never really bothered asking why we kept on fighting, which is why I can’t really answer your question,” replied
Takuya after heaving a sigh. “So it’s been going on for that long, huh…” muttered Gerald.
“Indeed… Regardless, I believe the current generation of Hanyus shouldn’t know why we’re still fighting as well. We
simply inherited our ancestors’ grudges without questioning them… Even so, our families don’t usually pick a fight
with each other without good reason. If I remember correctly, our last major fight happened a few decades ago.
With that in mind, I’m honestly surprised that they made their move this time, which is why I’m looking into it so
seriously. Still, if the Hanyus want to break this peace, the Futabas won’t just sit around without fighting back!”
replied Takuya in a firm tone, clearly showing how capable he was as a family head.
“I see… still, from what I’ve gathered, the Futabas seem to have quite a high status in Japan. With that in mind, the
Hanyus shouldn’t have declared war against your family—by attempting to hurt your daughter—without good
reason,” said Gerald as he squinted his eyes before sipping more tea.
“I believe so as well. Whatever the case is, we’ll just have to see what my men report back once they’ve concluded
their investigation,” replied Takuya with a nod.

“That would be for the best. Either way, since I already know all this, allow me to aid you,” said Gerald after thinking
about it for a while.
“Negative. Just by saving Fujiko, you’ve already done a lot for our family. With that in mind, there’s no way I can
allow you to risk your life again just to solve my family’s problems! I insist that you remain here till the crisis is
over!” replied Takuya as he quickly began waving his hand the second he heard that.
“Well, alright then…” said Gerald, not wanting to get on Takuya’s bad side.
Following that, the duo began chatting absent-mindedly in the tea room, allowing Takuya to learn more about
Gerald’s situation as well. As they were chatting, however, Gerald was also secretly scanning Takuya from head to
toe. Since Fujiko had that special pendant of the Seadom tribe around her neck, Gerald believed that Takuya—being
the head of the family—should have a similar accessory on him as well.
Unfortunately, even after looking for quite a while, Gerald failed to find anything related to the Seadom tribe on
him. Even so, Gerald wasn’t discouraged. After all, now that he had gotten to know the family, he could take his
time investigating…
