Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2170
“So… You only let him off to get his help once you finally get on the island…?” asked Master Ghost.
“Thinking back, it was still mostly the fact that I didn’t want to kill another Crawford,” replied Gerald as he shook his
head.
With how important saving his parents was to him, Gerald wasn’t about to place his trust on any of the cultivating
Crawford’s ‘help’.
“…If that’s the case, then didn’t you just free a tiger back into the mountains…?” asked Master Ghost who was
starting to get slightly worried.
Though he hadn’t told Gerald about this, Master Ghost had secretly made a fortune telling for Gerald some time
back, and he found out that Gerald would encounter something dangerous potentially even life threatening once he
arrived at the island…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Again, his strength was pretty average, so I don’t really see him as a threat. If he even dares to come after me
again, I’ll just kill him,” replied Gerald rather nonchalantly as he waved his hand.
Seeing how confident Gerald was, Master Ghost simply said, “…Well, I’ll trust your judgment since you sound so
sure about this…”
“I’m glad. Speaking of which, while fighting that cultivator, I came across another assassin who tried to kill me in
the process. With how strong he was, I feel that he could’ve been a ranked assassin on the assassin list. Call it a
hunch, but I have a feeling that only Kai would think of something like this,” replied Gerald.
“A high-ranking assassin? Where’s his body, brother Gerald? I’ve investigated over fifty assassins on the assassin
list, so I can recognize most of them pretty well!” exclaimed Aiden who suddenly appeared much more excited than
before.
Smiling helplessly, Gerald simply replied, “I’m afraid there’s no body to speak of…”
“…Huh? Did he manage to escape…?” asked Aiden, feeling slightly disappointed. Still, if they managed to catch that
assassin later on, Aiden would surely be able to recognize the assailant. Following that, there was a chance that
they’d be able to find out who hired the assassin in the first place!
“Not at all. What I’m saying is that I evaporated his corpse!” explained Gerald.
Aiden had already seen what Gerald was capable of, so he hardly had any trouble accepting this. With that in mind,
Aiden simply sighed before replying in a slightly disappointed tone, “I see… What a shame… It would’ve been nice
to leave him alive…”
“Well, there’s no point talking about him anymore. How about things on your end? Is the competition over yet?”
asked Gerald.
“It is, though it’ll still be a few days till we get the results. While I wasn’t as good as Miss Fujiko, I don’t think I scored
too badly. In fact, I have a feeling that I should be close to the top!” explained Aiden as he thought about his
performance in the previous days.
“That’s good to hear. Well, since there’s nothing to be done in the meantime, let’s contact Fujiko first to discuss the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmatter about us staying with her family. I’m saying it now that you two have to be extra careful from now on. After
all, we’re now simultaneously dealing with an extremely prestigious family and a family of assassins. While I
wouldn’t normally see the
Kanagawas as a threat, I still believe that Kai was the one who hired that assassin I killed earlier. With that said,
please be alert at all times,” said Gerald as he narrowed his eyes.
The Kanagawas had pissed him off enough. Everyone from that family needed to die…!
“Sure thing! The higher ups have already told me that I’ll be given a month’s worth of rest after the competition.
With that said, hopefully things can be settled before then,” replied Aiden who really wanted to help Gerald save his
parents. Even so, Aiden was still Weston’s ‘King of Soldiers’. In other words, if he suddenly received orders to
return, Aiden wasn’t about to disobey his orders…
Regardless, Gerald then replied, “Things should be settled Within the month.”
“Should we start making our move tomorrow, then?” asked Master Ghost.
“Indeed. We’ll meet up with Fujiko then before heading to the Futaba manor together. We’ll start discussing our next
moves once we’re there,” said Gerald with a nod.
Nodding as well, Aiden then placed his hand on his stomach before muttering, “Um… Brother Gerald…? Are you
hungry? I can head out to get some food for you…”
