Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2107
Once Ryugu calmed down a bit, Takeshi gulped before replying, “… Do… you think the Futabas have other powerful
men…?”
“… Negative. Even if there were powerful people within their family, our two assassins should’ve still been able to
report back. Besides, we’ve already done a thorough background check on their family before we attempted to
assassinate Fujiko. With that in mind, we know that there are only a few trained fighters in their family, though none
of them should be able to handle Endo and Izumi,” said Ryugu as he shook his head.
Though he said that, he knew that there was a high possibility that the two were already dead. However, that posed
a question. Where the hell had the Futabas suddenly found such powerful men? No matter how much Ryugu racked
his brain, he simply couldn’t figure it out.

wonder if there are any underlying issues involved…” muttered Takeshi.
“I can’t say for sure, but whatever the case is, we can’t slack off for even a second! I can’t just allow two of our
family’s top assassins to disappear off the grid like this! With that said, we’re forced to head to their manor to
investigate! Even if Endo and Izumi are truly dead, I have to see their corpses to believe it!” declared Ryugu after
taking in a deep breath.
The now trembling Ryugu had honestly been keeping Endo and Izumi’s lack of response a secret from most of the
other Hanyus. After all, Endo and Izumi were two of the biggest powerhouses within the family, and if the patriarch
found out that something had possibly happened to them, there would surely be hell to pay. It certainly didn’t help
that it would be extremely difficult to train more of their men to get to the duo’s level…
Whatever the case was, Takeshi then asked, “So… Should we still keep an eye on their entrance…?”
“… In the meantime, yes. I’ll be sending over another small team to take over that task in a bit. Once they arrive,
try your best to locate Endo and Izumi. If you manage to rescue them, I’ll allow you to be the assistant team leader
of the main assassination team!” replied Ryugu after a brief pause.
“G-got it!” exclaimed Takeshi as he immediately smiled.
“Good. Now leave. I wish to be left alone…!” grumbled Ryugu as he sat on his chair again while looking blankly at
the ceiling…
Moving back to Gerald, after having his breakfast, he went looking for Fujiko. Once he entered her room and they
greeted each other good morning, Fujiko took the chance to say, “You know, the military just notified me that the
special forces competition is a week away. With that in mind, they wish for me to head there.”
“I agree with them there. Seven days isn’t all that long,” replied Gerald with a nod.
“Indeed… Still, I can’t help but worry that if we leave the mansion, more assassins will try coming after your head…
I really don’t wish to burden you any more than I should… Call it a gut feeling, but I believe that the Kanagawas and
the Hanyus will come after you at the same time…” muttered Fujiko as she grabbed onto the hem of her clothes.

“Don’t worry about me. Regardless, I’ll be sure to protect you,” replied Gerald in a casual tone.
Understanding that Gerald was trying to avoid talking about her burdening him, Fujiko then said, “I know you will,
but I-“
“So, when are we heading over?” interrupted Gerald.
“… According to the military notice, we’ll have to be there by this afternoon to register ourselves… Once we’ve
done that, they’ll tell us more about the event as well as when the competition will be held… Also, we won’t be
allowed to leave till the competition ends, so keep that in mind,” replied Fujiko with a serious tone.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s get packing and hit the road!” said Gerald without the slightest hesitation.
Simply nodding in response, Fujiko knew that Gerald was right. She needed to focus on the competition. After all,
not only was she the youngest daughter of the Futaba family, but she also had to live up to her title of the ‘Queen of
Soldiers’. With that in mind, she definitely had to score high in the competition…!
