Ch. 2131..2135: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 2131-2135
Chapter 2131
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2131 “I just received a warning from my compass that someone is close to you. I was worried that there might be some danger, so I did a fortune telling for you. If I’m not mistaken, it should be someone from Yearning Island, which means a member of the Crawford family has come.” Even though there was no one around, Master Ghost still lowered his voice and spoke using a voice that only the two of them could hear.
“You knew about this as well?” Gerald raised his head.
“What do you mean?” Master Ghost asked in surprise.
“To be honest, when I walked out of the interrogation room, I could clearly feel that a cultivator has appeared near me. However, it was just a brief moment, and I didn’t use the power of my Herculean Primordial Spirit to sense his presence.” Gerald sighed deeply.
He had previously thought that it was just a coincidence and maybe the cultivator had come here just by chance without having anything to do with him.
But now, with Master Ghost’s words, he was totally alerted.
It was a member of the Crawfords from Yearning Island!
Gerald trusted Master Ghost’s skills in fortune telling. Since the day Gerald had come to know him, he had never made a mistake, not even a slight deviation. If he said that the man was a Crawford, then a Crawford he was.
“So, you have sensed him as well.” Master Ghost nodded. “I have been predicting your future for you all this time, fearing that you might encounter any danger. But I didn’t expect that the Crawford family
would be so fast in catching up with you. I really don’t know what kind of method they used to find out about you coming to Japan and even pinpointing your exact location.”
“A cultivation family has many chances to investigate my whereabouts. It’s just that we don’t know the reason that person came here, whether he just wants to find out my whereabouts and report to the family, or he is like Will’s men, wanting to kill me.”
Recalling Will’s action on Gong Island, Gerald couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. He had never been interested in or wanted to get the position as the patriarch of the Crawford family whatsoever.
He didn’t expect that Will would take it so seriously to the extent that he had defied Daryl’s order and sent his men to kill him. This was out of Gerald’s expectation.
“Anyway, we should be careful. They didn’t manage to harm you after sending men out twice when we were on Gong Island. This time, they might send a very strong cultivator in the family. Although your ability is very strong, you still have to be careful, otherwise, you might be hit. If anything happens to you, it will be difficult to save your parents. Besides, the Futaba family has gotten into so much trouble lately, and they need your help.”
Master Ghost let out a long sigh. He could feel that Gerald was in a very difficult situation. It could really be said that he was in hot water.
“Don’t worry. I have a plan in mind.” Gerald nodded his head gently.
Although he had said so to Master Ghost, he was still a bit worried. After all, the Crawford family was not a common family. If Will were to find out about his situation, he might send out the strongest cultivator of the family, or even come here in person.
Although it was not fatal, it would cause him a lot of trouble.
Meanwhile, on the path outside the training ground, a seemingly ordinary looking person was walking along the path, wearing a hat with a long brim. If he wasn’t standing in front of you, you couldn’t see his face clearly.
He was the one who had come from Yearning Island.
Amare Crawford, the third-strongest cultivator in the Crawford family. He was stout, and his height was nearly two meters. Even with his clothes on, the outline of his muscles was still visible.
He had originally been ordered by Daryl to go outside on an errand. Will had seized this opportunity and asked him to take a detour to Japan to finish off Gerald, and in order to please the future patriarch, he did not refuse.
To him, it was the same to kill anyone.
Chapter 2132
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2132 With his strength, he didn’t even have to delay anything. Once he found the man, he would just kill him with one blow.
However, the information he received from Will only showed that Gerald was in Japan. He had found this place because he knew that Gerald had come here with another Westoner special forces agent to participate in the special forces competition. However, he didn’t dare to use his essential qi to sense Gerald’s location, fearing that once he was exposed, he would fail in the mission Will had given him.
So, he could only search around this place bit by bit. Daryl had given him half a month for the errand, so he could only stay in Japan for about a week.
After one week, regardless of whether he could kill Gerald or not, he would have to return to Yearning Island. If Daryl found out that he had used the time he was given for his mission to settle the matter for Will, he would surely be punished most severely by the family.
This was not just a rumor, but it was a proven fact.
Anyone who disobeyed the order of the patriarch would be thrown into the Pit of Thousand Snakes.
It was a three meter wide and more than ten meters deep pit that was used to keep hundreds of poisonous snakes. Any ordinary man would be killed once he was bitten.
Those who disobeyed the patriarch would be thrown into the pit and forced to stay there for an entire night. If he survived the next day, it would be considered that he had received his punishment, and his mistake would be forgiven. If he did not, he would become food for the snakes.
Living in the family for so many years, Amare had never seen anyone get out of the pit alive. Usually, when they opened it, there were only poisonous snakes and a pile of white bones left.
Thinking of this, Amare broke out in a cold sweat. At the same time, he decided in his heart that he had to get back to the family in time. Although his strength was immense, he might still not be an opponent of those poisonous snakes.
An afternoon passed quietly.
In the evening, when the sky had turned dark, Gerald and the two returned to their residence.
Fujiko followed them.
“Miss Fujiko, what would you like to eat? I can go outside and buy it for you.” Aiden went to the bathroom to wash his face. After a whole day of training, not only were his clothes soaked with sweat, even his face was dirty.
“Thank you.” Fujiko smiled faintly.
“Aren’t you worried that people might misunderstand you if you come here?” Gerald asked as he served Fujiko a cup of tea. He had planned to smoke a cigarette, but he put it down in the end.
“Of course not.” Fujiko’s eyes were full of smiles when she looked at Gerald. “Don’t forget, we are a couple to the outsiders!”
“When did this happen?” Hearing this, even Master Ghost couldn’t help but start gossiping. He knew that Gerald had a girlfriend, and he knew that Gerald had made great efforts to save her, to the extent that he could give up his life at any time.
How come after only about a week out, he suddenly had a new girlfriend?
“Ahem, don’t misunderstand. Miss Fujiko needs to get married because of the problems within her family, and a little accident happened. So, we temporarily pretended to be a couple to deal with her
family. In truth, our relationship is very pure!”
Seeing that Master Ghost seemed to be misunderstanding things, Gerald hurriedly explained. If this was not explained clearly in time, he was worried that he would not be able to in the future.
“So that’s how it is.” Once Gerald had said that, Master Ghost understood.
Chapter 2133
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2133 “Gerald is telling the truth. We are only pretending to be a couple in order to solve the troublesome things we’re facing now. So, when I come here to look for you, it’s nothing to be worried about and will make it even more believable.” Although Fujiko was a little hurt, Gerald was speaking the truth, so she could not say much about it and simply went along with it.
“But is there anything you wanted to talk about seeing as you’ve come over at this time?” Gerald glanced at his cigarette. Although he could not smoke right now, he still had the urge to do so.
“It’s nothing. It’s just that I am not very familiar with my team members. Besides, I’m the only woman on the team. I’m afraid of staying alone.” Fujiko said in embarrassment.
“But you cannot stay here as well.” Gerald scratched his head.
“I will go back to my room to sleep. I just wanted to have dinner and chat with you,” Fujiko replied as she picked up her cup and looked at Gerald.
“Wait for a while, then Aiden has gone out to buy some food. We will have dinner soon.” Seeing that Fujiko had said that, Gerald could only let her stay. Luckily he had explained the matter clearly in advance. Besides, it was safer to have Fujiko here with him.
Although the Kanagawa and Hanyu families should not dare to come here to cause trouble, there was a new problem. No one could guarantee what that cultivator from the Crawford family would do.
Shortly after, Aiden returned with a bag of food.
“There really isn’t much good food in Japan. This is what I picked up from a Westoner restaurant far away. I was worried that you might be hungry, so I ran all the way back.” Aiden served the food on the table and said as he panted.
However, once he had said that, he saw Fujiko sitting next to him. Thinking of what he had just said, he slapped a hand over his mouth and added, “I don’t mean any harm, Miss Fujiko. I don’t mean that Japanese food is not delicious. It’s just that we are all Westoners, so we are not very used to eating your food.”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to explain anything. Although I am Japanese, I like Westoner food the best. I also think that Westoner food is better than Japanese food.” Fujiko smiled. No dissatisfaction could be seen from her expression.
“If you have the chance, you must come to Weston and try our authentic Westoner food.” Although Fujiko hadn’t said anything, Aiden still felt very awkward.
“I always go to this restaurant, and I have tried authentic Westoner food. It is really good! ” Fujiko was busy serving the food on the plates that Master Ghost had brought out.
Aiden stopped talking. He felt that it would be awkward for him to say anything more, so he figured it would be better to stop talking and just eat his food.
The four sat around the table and started eating.
“By the way, Fujiko, I need to tell you something. When this competition is over, the two of them should stay with your family as well. I’m worried that the situation will become more complicated. If anything happens while we are staying together, we can back each other up.”
After eating for a while, Gerald said to Fujiko.
“Sure. I am very pleased to welcome you two to come and stay in Futaba Mansion. This will make my place merrier. Let’s get to know each other formally, King of Soldier, Aiden Baker.” Fujiko agreed with a smile. Then, she put down her chopsticks and stretched her slender hand out to Aiden.
“You know me?” Hearing Fujiko calling his name, Aiden was a bit surprised.
“Of course I know you. I am the Queen of Soldier in Japan. How can I not know about you, the King of Soldier of Weston. You know, your picture is hung on the wall of our war department and listed as a dangerous person of Weston.”
Fujiko smiled.
“So, I’m famous, apparently! Even the Japanese army put my picture on the wall.” Aiden’s pupils contracted, but he still smiled in response.
Chapter 2134
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2134 “We bear no malice toward you. You are a very famous soldier in Weston, so naturally, our army should get to know you fully. However, now that the relationship between Weston and Japan is improving, I think that even when we meet on the battlefield, we will not attack each other but fight side by side instead!”
With a glance, Fujiko could already see that something was wrong with Aiden, so she explained quickly.
“For the sake of Brother Gerald, even though there might be a day when we are in opposition, I will still let you off the hook.” Aiden smiled faintly. He knew that the relationship between the two countries was superficial. In truth, it still depended on whether there was a conflict of interest.
After all, in this modern era, there was no absolute friend, but only eternal interests. It could even be said that if something was not right, Weston and Japan would go to war both overtly and covertly.
“I will not mess with the matters between you two, but based on the current situation alone, we still have to be on the same side,” Gerald interjected.
“I very much welcome you to stay in Futaba Mansion. I think with the King of Soldier of West on with us, it will be a great help to face the Kanagawa and Hanyu families!” Fujiko said in agreement with Gerald.
After dinner, Gerald sent Fujiko back to the hostel of the Japanese special forces and returned to the guest room.
Just as he entered the room, Aiden and Master Ghost were cleaning up.
“Since when did the princess of the Seadom tribe become the Queen of Soldier of Japan?” Once Aiden saw Gerald, Aiden threw the bag with the leftovers into the trash can and asked in confusion.
“The Seadom tribe is already a thousand years old. If they want to survive, they are bound to assimilate into modern society. Becoming the Queen of Soldier is nothing. Even becoming a high ranking official in Japan would not be strange,” Master Ghost explained.
Since the day Master Ghost had come to know Aiden, he felt as if he was becoming an encyclopedia. Other than having to do fortune telling for Gerald, most of his time was spent explaining all sorts of things to Aiden.
“It’s true. A thousand years is too long. Long enough to transform the Seadom tribe into a brand new family. Still, as long as they still know the way to Yearning Island, it’s fine.” Gerald nodded.
He was not interested in the Futaba family at all. Whether it was a large family or just a common family in Japan, he had to investigate it.
Time flew, and five days passed in the blink of an eye. There was only one day left before the special forces competition. All the special forces were ready. Aiden also went to the competition site while Gerald was sitting in his room.
Since that night, Gerald did not feel a cultivator appearing near him anymore. However, this did not mean that he had let his guard down.
Since Master Ghost had told him that it was a Crawford from Yearning Island, it had to be true. However, Gerald did not know whether he was sent by Daryl to test him, or by Will to kill him.
“Something on your mind?” Master Ghost walked to the window. He could see the field below from that position. A dozen special force agents were training for the competition tomorrow. Seeing Gerald
leaning on the window and looking at the sky in a daze, he opened his mouth and asked.
“I was thinking about where that cultivating Crawford could be hiding.” Gerald didn’t hide anything and told Master Ghost what was on his mind.
Chapter 2135
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2135 “I think you don’t have to worry much about this. Although I have predicted that someone will approach you, I didn’t read any sign of danger. This means that the power of this person must be weaker than you. Even if he finds you, he won’t be able to hurt you,” Master Ghost spoke in a deep voice.
“I know. I’m just worried that he might harm you guys. You don’t have any power, and you need my protection. Although Aiden is the King of Soldier of Weston, he might not be an opponent of the cultivator.”
“I wonder if he will make a move during the competition tomorrow.”
Gerald took a deep breath. He was not afraid that this person would make a move on himself. Not to mention this cultivator, even when Will came here in person, he would not be scared. However, the people around him were different. Although Aiden was strong and good at all sorts of modern weapons and fighting skills, it was still uncertain when he faced a cultivator.
“Can the Futaba family provide us with protection?” Master Ghost knew that he did not have any power. If he was with Gerald, he would become a burden.
“There are bodyguards, but they are not very strong.” Gerald shook his head and said, “Anyway, the Futaba family has a certain social status in Japan. No matter who wants to make a move there, they will have to consider.”
“Don’t worry, I will never hold you back.” Master Ghost took a deep breath as he spoke.
“I will protect you.” Gerald didn’t take what Master Ghost had said seriously. Even though he would be very careful, once he was caught, he would surely die.
“Okay.” Master Ghost did not insist.
“We’ll see how it goes. I hope that we can settle these matters quickly and go to Yearning Island sooner so that I can save my parents. As for Mila, I’m still clueless.” Gerald laughed bitterly.
He couldn’t even understand why it would become like this. His parents and sister had been caught, and his girlfriend was in the hands of the Sun League. Now, even after so much time had passed, he still didn’t know if they were safe and sound.
Maybe they had been killed long ago, and what they were doing now was useless.
Either way, Gerald wanted to see them whether dead or alive. He had considered every worst possibility. If none of them had survived, Gerald would choose to kill himself after burying them.
When his most loved ones were no longer alive, it would be pointless to be alive alone.
“It will happen soon. As long as we can get to Yearning Island, we will be able to find out the location of Sun League. I don’t think they will do anything to your family, but they just want to draw you over.” Master Ghost could feel the sorrow in Gerald’s heart.
“Let’s hope so.” Gerald nodded, lit a cigarette, and looked outside.
On the training ground, the special forces of each country were gathered there. They were undergoing intensive training for the competition tomorrow. Although it was not a very formal competition, it was still a competition between countries. Every special forces agent wanted to win glory for his country and to earn credit for himself.
However, after training for a while, a man wearing a special uniform came, and everyone looked at him in unison.
“Let me introduce you. He is a special forces agent from Yanam who just arrived in Japan an hour ago.”
