Ch. 2186..2190: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 2186-2190
Chapter 2186
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2186 Takuya’s sudden anger made everyone stunned, and they did not dare to speak. Even though they didn’t have any respect for this patriarch at all, this didn’t mean that his power wasn’t still there.
Based on Japanese laws, if someone in a family went against the patriarch’s order, not only did they need to bear the consequences of both family law and legal aspects.
The fact that they dared to leave the family and even use the family’s name to gain certain benefits was all because they saw Takuya as a down to earth man, and that he wouldn’t do anything to them seeing as how they were all part of the Futaba family.
“Takuya, I know that Fujiko is your daughter, and that is why you want the best for her, but as a patriarch, you have to put the whole family first! We need the Kanagawa family’s help anyway. If we break the marriage promise, not only will the Kanagawa family not help us, but they might even turn around and attack us. We really can’t bear the consequences anymore!”
Seeing Takuya become enraged, Masaru tried to persuade Takuya, trying to make it seem as though he had always wanted the best for the whole family, which was why he had asked whether Gerald had any power or status that could possibly help the family.
“If Gerald could get some help from his family, maybe we won’t be in danger anymore. However, with the feud from the Hanyu and Kanagawa families whom he offended, regular families might not be able to help us out.”
“If you can get help from the Yamashita family, we wouldn’t care about the matter between you and Fujiko anymore!”
Right then, Futaba Suke, who had been quiet the whole time, spoke up suddenly, fixing his eyes upon Gerald as he snickered.
“What are you joking about? The Yamashitas have never had any connections with any of the families in Japan. It would practically be impossible for Gerald, someone from Weston, to even talk with the Yamashita family let alone ask them for help.”
“That’s right, I think it’s better not to waste any time anymore!”
The others all agreed. Putting Gerald aside, none of them would be able to talk with anyone from the Yamashita family either.
“Hahaha!”
Out of the blue, Takuya burst out laughing.
“Did you all see the people standing at the manor’s gate upon entering?” Gerald held his hands behind him as he smiled lightly.
“What does it matter whether we saw them or not? Don’t tell me those people are from the Yamashita family who are here to protect you?” Suke sneered. He was confident that Gerald wouldn’t be able to form a connection with the Yamashita family, which was why he had said all of this to make a fool out of Gerald in front of the other family members.
“You’re quite smart aren’t you.” Gerald raised his eyebrow.
“How shameless can you be, Gerald?! The Yamashita family has never made any connections with any other families at all, and this isn’t a secret in Japan. You’re actually telling us that the tens of men standing at the gate are from the Yamashita family. This is the best joke I’ve ever heard in years.”
Suke glared at Gerald as he tapped his feet against the floor continuously.
“Let them in, Aiden, ” Gerald turned around and spoke to Aiden, who was standing behind him. He couldn’t be bothered to explain it any further to Suke.
“Alright. ” Although Aiden didn’t understand what was happening, he listened to Gerald’s words and walked outside.
“What a joke! You’re actually saying that they’re the Yamashita family’s men. I’ll see who they truly are now.” Suke was still sneering. “However, if they’re not the Yamashita family’s men, you have to crawl beneath my crotch and scram out of here, Gerald.”
“Of course.”
Chapter 2187
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2187 Gerald shrugged and agreed easily. “However, if they are indeed the Yamashita family’s men…”
“Then I’ll crawl under your crotch and scram my way out of here!” Without waiting for Gerald to finish his words, Suke had already spoken up. He believed that Gerald was just boasting. After all, even he himself had never seen any members of the Yamashita family in his entire life, not to mention having any sort of connections with them.
“No problem!” Gerald instantly replied.
Not long after, a few men followed Aiden into the room with everyone’s eyes on them.
“Brother Gerald.” Aiden nodded toward Gerald and stood at the back.
“My brothers, these men are highly doubtful about the fact that you are from the Yamashita family. Do you have anything to prove your identities?” Gerald asked with his eyes set on them.
“Of course we do.” The man standing at the most upfront row took his identification card out from his pocket.
Japanese identification cards were different from other countries. Due to prioritization on one’s family status or financial group, everyone’s identification card contained the information as to which family or financial group they belonged to.
“Do you see this?” Gerald took the card from him and waved it before everyone.
They moved their eyes onto Gerald’s hand, and as expected, they saw the tiny line below the card stating that this man belonged to the Yamashita family.
“This is impossible! You must have made a fake identification card!” Suke saw it clearly as well, but his face darkened, as he had never expected Gerald to truly be able to find the Yamashita family. It simply seemed like something impossible to him.
“So, could it be possible that I have the ability to predict the unknown to know that you would ask me about having connections with the Yamashita family and to have them make fake identification cards to bring along here?” Hearing this, Gerald couldn’t help but snicker as he returned the card to its owner.
“I…” Suke became speechless for a moment.
It was indeed true that he had come up with the idea of making a fool out of Gerald in front of everyone on a whim. Gerald would obviously not know about this before hand to ask them to prepare the fake IDs, but even so, he still couldn’t bring himself to believe that Gerald could actually call the Yamashita family’s men over here to take care of the Futaba family’s safety.
It wasn’t just him, but everyone else couldn’t believe what’s happening either.
The Yamashita family, who never came into contact with any other families nor financial groups at all, was actually standing guard in front of the Futaba family’s manor.
“Now do you believe it?” Gerald squinted his eyes at Suke as he looked around and asked.
“Yes, we do,” everyone replied in unison. They had immediately done the calculations silently. The Yamashita family was much stronger than the Kanagawa family, so, they would definitely gain more benefits if the Yamashita family helped them out. “Now, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise. Do you still remember what you said?” Gerald asked with his eyes on Suke.
“Don’t even think of doing this, Gerald! ” Suke’s face turned pink. He would lose his dignity and respect entirely for sure if he really were to crawl underneath Gerald’s crotch and scram out of there.
“Suke, as a man, you should do what you’ve promised. If you don’t even dare to do what you said yourself, you shouldn’t even be a part of our Futaba family!” Futaba Masaru’s face turned serious as he reprimanded Suke in a deep voice.
Seeing how Gerald had such a good relationship with the Yamashita family, Masaru could ahnost see the Futaba family overcoming the great obstacle before them and reach even greater heights with the help from the Yamashita family. He was on Gerald’s side even as he spoke.
Chapter 2188
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2188 “Exactly. If anyone knows how you can’t even do what you yourself promised, it would be a total shame on our family!”
“Just get it over with quickly! Don’t have us all waiting for you. You’re not even a man if you’re all bark and no bite!”
The others were now on Gerald’s side as well. It had not even been two minutes’ worth of effort, yet they had all forgotten how they had been just a While ago.
Still, facing these people, Gerald did not express any comments. As long as he could help Takuya and Fujiko, these men had no business with him.
“Alright!”
Under so many people’s pressure, Suke knew that anything he said wouldn’t be of help anymore.
He ground his teeth hard with a red face as he slowly crouched onto the ground and crawled toward Gerald, his body trembling all over. He knew that after crawling beneath Gerald, he wouldn’t be able to lift his head up ever again in the family.
Gerald was being cooperative too. He even lifted his leg and rested it on the table.
Under everyone’s gaze, Suke squeezed himself through Gerald’s crotch area. As he crawled out of it, he was trembling so hard as he glared at Gerald with fury and monstrousness. He had entirely lost every last shred of respect everyone else had for him at this very moment.
“Satisfied?” Suke asked through clenched teeth as he stared hard at Gerald.
“What does that mean? Isn’t this a bet between you and I?” Gerald arched his eyebrow. “But there’s still one more thing left.”
“What’s that?” Suke asked.
“Getting your ass out of here,” Gerald continued, “You’re not going to go against your own words, are you?”
“You’re brutal! Don’t forget this, Gerald Crawford. I will make you pay for what you’ve done today for sure, beware!” Suke threw one last look at Gerald and spouted warnings at him before scramming out of here.
However, no one was bothered by him at all. Everyone’s attention was on Gerald. All that was on their minds was how to make use of Gerald’s connection with the Yamashita family and get the most benefits out of them.
“You can go home now. Thanks for the hard work,” Gerald made a gesture of appreciation toward the Yamashita family’s men and spoke in a low voice.
“This is nothing. Please tell us anytime you need help, Mr. Gerald. We’ll do our best for you!” The man returned the same gesture and spoke politely.
Seeing this, everyone started to analyze the situation again. Not only did Gerald know these people from the Yamashita family, but he might even have good relations with them, which could be the only explanation as to why they were being so respectful toward him.
After they had left, Takuya straightened his back and stood even taller.
“Does anyone still disagree in regards to the relationship between Gerald and Fujiko?” Takuya scanned his eyes across the crowd with his head lifted up high. After all this time, this was the first time in five
years that he felt like a true patriarch of this family even though it was all because of Gerald’s presence.
No one spoke a word.
However, Masaru coughed and spoke up, “Looks like Gerald can truly help our family this time. There’s no need for Fujiko to be married to Kanagawa Kai anymore, then. It will do these two good too seeing as how they make a good pair and have feelings for each other.”
Chapter 2189
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2189 “You’re not truly marrying her, are you?”
Aiden inched closer to Gerald’s back and asked with a low voice.
“No, this is just a show for them. We will still leave here after solving their family’s problem.” Gerald shook his head. His heart only belonged to Mila Smith, and Gerald wasn’t interested even though Fujiko was indeed very beautiful in addition to being a good person in and out.
“This doesn’t really matter, though. I know a lot of countries that support husbands having two wives at the same time. Seeing how Ms. Fujiko is interested in you as well, why don’t you just accept it!” Aiden chuckled as he spoke.
“I’ll kick you out of here if you say anything more.” Gerald frowned.
Aiden stuck his tongue out but kept quiet.
“This is true. It’s not a bad thing for Fujiko to get married to Gerald. Still, Gerald, you have to help us out this time! You too know our family’s current situation, we will all face great troubles if you don’t help!”
After Masaru had spoken up, the others gathered the courage to speak as well.
“No problem.” Gerald waved them down. He had promised to help anyway, so he would help Takuya in kicking these people with ulterior motives out of the family and not allow them to drag the Futaba family down.
“Well then, take a seat everyone. I’ll tell you about the future plan,” Takuya waved them down as well and said.
Seeing how they were going to discuss family matters, Gerald closed his eyes as he sat on a bench at the back, not wanting to listen at all.
…
Meanwhile, after leaving the manor, Suke didn’t bother to have a change of clothes, and he drove straight to the Hanyu family’s place, specifically requesting to see Hanyu Ryugu.
After a few minutes, Ryugu appeared at the doorsteps and pulled him inside right away.
“Are you crazy for coming here without telling me sooner?! If anyone else knows about this, the worst can happen to our family after you! ” Ryugu sneaked a glance outside to make sure no one was there before scolding Suke in a low voice.
“I don’t care anymore. I want to kill Gerald Crawford as soon as possible. You can even reduce half the benefits you promised if you really can do this!”
Suke’s eyes were bloodshot. He was even considering death after recalling how he had crawled under Gerald’s crotch and scrammed out of the family in front of so many people.
“What’s this? Didn’t you say to stop things temporarily and act only after I told you so? Now that you suddenly want me to do this, Ihave no idea how to do it as well,”
As Ryugu spoke, he dragged Suke along and went further inside.
“I’m telling you, it’ll be too late if you don’t act now. Gerald has strong abilities. Two of your top assassins failed their mission because of him, and he even knows the Yamashita family. It even seems that they share a close relationship!” Suke released a heavy sigh.
“What? He has good relations with the Yamashita family?!” Hearing this, Ryugu stopped in his tracks right away.
“That’s right. I’ve seen it myself. The Yamashita family arranged for tens of their men to guard the Futaba manor, and those people seemed to have high respect for Gerald!”
Now, Suke wasn’t trying to hide anything at all anymore. His only goal was to kill Gerald as fast as possible to make him pay for what he had done.
“You should go rest in the guest room first. I have something to report to our patriarch.” After thinking while standing in the same spot, Ryugu headed toward where Hanyu Suij in was resting immediately.
“Just half an hour. I’ll come to find you in half an hour!” Suke couldn’t wait for that long, and he shouted at Ryugu’s back.
However, Ryugu couldn’t hear anything at all. He had to report this situation to the patriarch as soon as he could. Originally, he had only suspected that Gerald might have some sort of connection with the Yamashita family. Now, he was as certain as ever.
Chapter 2190
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2190 In the room furthest back in the Hanyu family’s place. At that moment, Hanyu Suij in was sitting inside with his young concubine. Although he was old and his body didn’t work as well as before, it was comfortable enough for him to be able to ogle at a young lady with delicate skin lying on his bed.
Slam!
Just as Suijin was about to get into action after he was done ogling the lady, the door was pushed open suddenly.
Following that was the guard’s voice from outside the door, “Team Leader, the patriarch is doing something inside! You can’t just go in!”
Without waiting for him to finish, Ryugu was already dashing into the living room.
“Patriarch, I have something urgent to report to you.”
Ryugu’s eyes scanned his surroundings only to find Suijin naked on the bed and a pretty, young lady hurriedly wearing her clothes by the bedside.
Ryugu knew this lady. She was the one whom he had brought home today for the patriarch’s enjoyment with the only intention of protecting his position as the team leader of the Assassin Team when so many things were happening now.
“What is it about that you can’t even wait a while outside instead of barging in like this?!” Suijin was upset that he had been halted by someone just as he was about to do something. It was lucky that it was Ryugu. If it had been anyone else, he or she would have been kicked out of the family for sure.
“This is too important that it can’ t be delayed.” Ryugu didn’t bother the lady and entered the room after Suijin had put on his pants.
“Spill it. What’s the matter?” The lady hadn’t even finished putting on her clothes, exposing her pale white chest in the cold air. Suijin wasn’t really bothered either, asking in a low voice as he held her tiny, delicate hand.
“Futaba Suke has just arrived at our place, saying that Gerald Crawford is on good terms with the Yamashita family. The Yamashita family even sent tens of men to guard the Futaba family’s manor,” Ryugu gulped and reported instantly.
“Which Yamashita family are you talking about?” Suijin didn’t even think of that.
In the whole of Japan, there were tens or even hundreds of families named Yamashita, so he didn’t know which one Ryugu was referring to at all. Plus, these families posed no threat to him.
He could easily eradicate them if anything happened anyway.
“Of course it’s that Yamashita family! If it was any other, I wouldn’t have bothered to tell you about it. You know what kind of person I am too, Patriarch.” After following Suijin for so many years, Ryugu knew what he was thinking too, so he quickly explained after hearing what Suijin had said.
“You can go out first!”
Hearing that, Suijin immediately became alert.
He released the young lady’s wrist and patted her back before calling out to her in a soft voice.
The lady put on a jacket and exited hurriedly, closing the door behind her.
“What’s happening!” Suijin’s face darkened instantly a she got up and walked in circles. He asked that after lighting up his cigarette and smoking it twice.
“I don’t know what exactly this is about either. This is what Suke told me just now. I’ve asked him to go rest in the guest room.” Ryugu shook his head. All he knew were these few sentences of information. “Oh, yeah! I’ve made sure that there’s no one suspicious outside either.”
