Ch. 2201..2205: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 2201-2205

Chapter 2201

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2201 Watching as the two subordinates then glared viciously at him looking like they were ready to pounce the second he disagreed, Suke could only yell, “H-how absolutely vile…!”

Following that, Suke immediately closed the door, knowing that he would die if he even attempted to leave. Thinking back, his death would probably be more beneficial to them. After all, not only would there be one less insider who knew about the Futaba targeting incident, but they’d also be free to take all the benefits for themselves!

Now that he finally realized all this, Suke was already regretting immediately rushing here after suffering through all that humiliation. Had he thought this through back then, he could ’ve brought along two strong confidants with him! If that had happened, he wouldn’t have ended up being cornered this pitifully!

Either way, after thinking about all this for a while, Suke sighed as he placed his hand on the table, hoping to get his phone and call someone to save him. However, when he couldn’t feel anything there, Suke raised a slight brow as he turned to look at the table… only to realize that his phone was gone!

Slamming his fist onto the table, Suke guessed that Ryugu must have taken his phone away earlier! Now that he didn’t have his phone anymore, Suke could no longer contact others…!

Ryugu, on the other hand, had walked quite a distance away by this point. Fishing out the phone that he had stolen from Suke, Ryugu then looked at it for a while before tossing it to the floor and stomping on it! It was only once the phone had snapped in half when Ryugu finally left, worry free.

As for the trio, they were already making their way back to the Futaba manor when Aiden who had honestly been prepared to go all out today couldn’t help but ask, “So… Why didn’t we get rid of them today…?”

Smiling subtly in response, Gerald simply replied, “They’re an assassin family, Aiden. It won’t be easy to truly get rid of them. Besides, I already left them a warning.”

“Still… are we not going to get rid of them at some point?” muttered Aiden.

“Let’s just see how things go first. If they behave themselves for a while, we can rethink taking them out. Besides, I’m still more interested in eliminating the Kanagawas first. If they don’t behave themselves till I’m done with Kai and his family, however, then they’ll be next in line!” explained Gerald.

Honestly, though he was earlier prepared to resolve everything once and for all, Gerald couldn’t help but change his mind the second he entered the manor. As it turned out, he had underestimated how strong the Hanyus truly were. For one, he hadn’t anticipated them to have so many assassins!

While he could definitely take care of them, Gerald was well aware that he’d need to use his Herculean Primordial Spirit. In other words, it would create a mess large enough for the entirety of Japan to realize that he had attacked the Hanyus, and he really didn’t want this to end up becoming another Yanam situation.

…

With that in mind, Gerald figured that he would only deal with them once and for all after they made their third assassination attempt. Since they had already tried assassinating both him and Fujiko, they were left with only one last chance before he finally lashed back.

 

Chapter 2202

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2202 Once that third attempt happened, Gerald wouldn’t play any more games. He was going to make sure he took out the Hanyu patriarch and Ryugu!

At that moment, Fujiko couldn’t help but say, “Honestly, though… My family has truly brought you endless trouble.”

After all, had Gerald not saved her back then, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in all this in the first place.

“No, no, who knows, I could require your help in the future,” replied Gerald with a subtle smile as he waved his hand, fully aware that he was instilling the thought into her.

Nodding in response, Fujiko immediately replied, “No matter what your request is, I’ll be sure to help you out!”

Simply laughing heartily in response, Gerald then said, “I’ll be taking your word for it, then!”

Shortly after, the trio arrived at the manor. After sending Fujiko back to her room, Gerald told Aiden and Master Ghost to come to his one.

Once the two were seated around the table in Gerald’s room, Master Ghost couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as he watched Gerald carefully close the door and windows. With how serious Gerald was being, Master Ghost was prompted to ask, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing too serious, honestly. I just want to talk about our next move. Speaking of which, I’ve already warned the Hanyu patriarch not to try anything funny anymore. If they behave, I’ll properly deal with them after a while. If they don’t, however, I’ll wipe them off the face of the earth! Regardless, I’m now going to focus on taking someone else out first,” replied Gerald as he joined them around the table.

“Hmm? Who?” asked Aiden and Master Ghost at the same time.

“Kai, of course. I still believe that he’s the one who sent that high ranking assassin after me. With that said, if he’s only going to continue causing me trouble, I may as well eliminate him before he has the chance to hire another assassin,” replied Gerald as be narrowed his eyes. If he didn’t kill Kai while he could, Gerald was honestly worried that the next assassin he sent would be even stronger than Vulture.

“Just let me do the deed! Don’t worry, you’ll see his corpse by morning!” volunteered Aiden.

“Don’t kill him straight off the bat. Bring him to the abandoned house at the back of the manor instead. I still want to interrogate him about some things,” replied Gerald with a nod as he took a cigarette out before tossing it to Aiden.

Catching the cigarette, Aiden who was always enthusiastic to do such missions immediately declared, “Hell yeah!”

Following that, Gerald watched as Aiden drove off before he eventually began walking to the back of the Futaba manor. Gerald, for one, trusted Aiden’s strength. The boy was, after all, a special forces soldier from Weston. With that in mind, kidnapping Kai was pretty much a cinch for him.

Either way, as the abandoned houses came into view, Gerald remembered Takuya mentioning that these used to be warehouses. Back during the Futaba family’s heyday, these warehouses were supposedly constantly filled with goods. Every night, there would be dozens of trucks all lined up,

waiting to deliver the goods. However, when their family started declining, the warehouses eventually became emptier and emptier.

About four years had passed since then, leaving these warehouses completely abandoned among the tall grass. Some of them were so dilapidated that huge chunks of them had already crumbled.

Shaking his head, Gerald then opened the door of one of the sturdier looking warehouses… only to instantly be greeted by a cloud of dust! Caught off guard, Gerald ended up coughing for quite a while before he eventually activated his Herculean Primordial Spirit. Sending a pulse of energy out of his body, the energy was apparently enough to blow away any remaining dust in the area.

Chapter 2203

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2203 Looking at how dust free the warehouse now was, Gerald couldn’t help but chuckle as he said, “Not bad… So it can be used for cleaning up as well!”

Following that, Gerald found a sturdy box to sit on before closing his eyes… As he thought about Yearning Island, two hours quickly came and went. Gerald only snapped out of it when he heard footsteps in the distance, accompanied by someone yelling, “Unhand me! Don’t you know who I am?! I’ll call it even if you let me free and leave Japan immediately! Otherwise, you’ll be dead by morning!”

“Cut the cr*p and just get in already!”

Familiar with both of those voices, Gerald then watched as Aiden tossed Kai into the warehouse. Illuminated by moonlight, the pitiful Kai who was in pain slowly crawled to his feet before pointing at Aiden and yelling, “W-who even are you?! We’ve never met before! I’m sure you’ve kidnapped the wrong person!”

“While that’s true for him, the same can’t be said for us, can it now, Mr. Kanagawa?” replied Gerald from within the darkness.

Recognizing that voice anywhere, Kai immediately turned around, shuddering as he stuttered, “G- Gerald…?! What are you doing here…?”

“Why wouldn’t I be? After all, I was the one who sent him out to get you!” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.

Piecing together what was happening and realizing that he wasn’t going to get out of this place in one piece, Kai was prompted to ask, “W-what are you planning to do with me?”

“Nothing much, really. I just wanted to ask you a few questions. You see, a few days ago, an assassin attempted to take me out when I was still on the training grounds. You sent him after me, didn’t you?” replied Gerald as he shook his head before glaring at Kai, hoping to see his reaction.

As expected, Kai instantly went pale upon hearing that. After hesitating for a moment, he eventually replied, “That has nothing to do with me!”

“Is that so? Because as far as I’m concerned, the assassin admitted that you were the one who hired him.”

“Bullsh*t!” retorted Kai who knew for a fact that Vulture was professional enough to never expose his identity, even when he was seconds from death!

“So that’s your response? I see… I see…” replied Gerald, his tone as composed as ever.

Forcing on a calm façade, Kai then gulped before asking, “B-besides… Why would I send an assassin after you?”

“Hmm? Don’t you want me dead?” replied Gerald.

 

Chapter 2204

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2204 “Of course I-!”

Realizing that he had accidentally declared his true thoughts, Kai quickly bit his tongue before clearing his throat as he said, “… That was a slip of the tongue. While I don’t like you, I don’t hate you to the point of wanting you dead either! The conflict between us just isn’t that serious! Speaking of which, I’m not interested in Fujiko anymore! If you want her so much, you can have her!”

“Cut the cr*p, Mr. Kanagawa. Look, there’s only the two of us here. Tell me the truth, and maybe I’ll let you off. Mind you, this is only because I’m paying respect to your father,” replied Gerald as he gestured for Aiden to leave them be for now.

“B-but I never hired anyone to assassinate you…!” muttered Kai as he averted his gaze. Kai, for one, didn’t believe Gerald at all. After all, he was currently trapped someplace where his screams for help couldn’t be heard! With that in mind, he was sure that once he admitted to hiring Vulture, he was definitely going to die here today…! Besides, he was still pretty sure that Vulture hadn’t betrayed him.

“Is that so…?” replied Gerald as he shook his head before narrowing his eyes at the terrified man.

Watching as Gerald then lit a cigarette before squatting before him, Kai gulped as he stuttered, “L-look, if you don’t have the evidence that I hired the assassin, then you’re essentially just kidnapping me! The law will be after your head!”

“Oh? So you do know a bit about the law. Unfortunately for you, the Japanese law can’t protect you here,” replied Gerald with a smug smile before he got to his feet and stomped on Kai’s hand!

“I-it hurts…!” cried Kai, now more terrified than ever.

After all, nobody had even dared to bully him before as a child! This harsh treatment was unlike anything he had ever experienced before…!

When Gerald intensified the force of his foot and Kai attempted to withdraw his hand, he quickly realized that aside from the excruciating pain he couldn’t even move his fingers anymore! N ow lying on the ground almost completely paralyzed from pain,

Kai raised his head, glaring at Gerald as he growled, “W-what the hell are you trying to achieve, Gerald…?! I’m the young master of the Kanagawa family…! If you dare do anything else to me, you’ll surely pay a heavy price!”

Ignoring Kai’s threats, Gerald simply increased the force of his foot, sending even more jolts of pain running down Kai’s arm…!

Unable to bear the pain any longer, Kai who felt that all the bones in his hand would shatter if he didn’t act quick cried out, “I… I’ll say it! I’ll tell you everything I know…!”

“Go on,” replied Gerald as he slowly lifted his leg, his eyebrow raised the entire time.

“I-it’s true that I hired that assassin… His name is Vulture, and he’s ranked seventh in the international assassin list…!” whimpered Kai as he held onto his aching hand.

“Oh? Seventh, you say? You must really want me dead,” replied Gerald, feeling slightly surprised. No wonder he sensed that Vulture was a little too strong to be a regular assassin back then.

 

Chapter 2205

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2205 “W-what even is the point of saying all this now… Haven’t you already gotten rid of Vulture?” muttered Kai who was pretty sure that Vulture had been defeated since Gerald was sitting here so casually.

“I have. Regardless, do tell me what else you’ve done,” replied Gerald, glad that Kai was finally talking.

“W-well… before Vulture, I also hired Ryugu to handle you, and I think he sent Endo and Izumi over… They’re still locked up in here, right…?” said Kai as he looked at Gerald. Now that he had already mentioned Vulture, there was no point hiding the rest of what he had done. With any luck, he wouldn’t have to die here at such a young age.

“… Oh? You were the one who sent them?” replied Gerald, feeling slightly surprised. As it turned out, Kai had been working with the Hanyus this entire time without him knowing.

“It was… Either way, after you took Endo and Izumi down, Ryugu told me that he wouldn’t go after you for quite a while… That’s why I hired Vulture in the end, though I never expected you to kill him too…” muttered Kai as he sighed. If not even a top assassin could take Gerald down, then Kai knew that if he continued targeting Gerald, he was definitely going to be the one dead in the end…!

“I see… anything else?” asked Gerald.

“That’s all!” cried out Kai, his hatred for Gerald now more immense than ever. Even so, Kai still valued his life more than his ego.

“Hmm… Very well, then. I’ll trust you for the time being,” replied Gerald who could tell from Kai’s terrified expression that the boy wasn’t lying.

“T-then… Can I leave now…?” asked Kai as he slowly got to his feet.

“Not so fast,” replied Gerald as he grabbed Kai’s arm before smiling as he suddenly intensified his grip! With a sickening ‘snap’ Kai’s arm was broken clean in half, resulting in Kai wailing in agony…!

By the time Gerald finally let go, Kai’s arm could only swing limply off his shoulder.

Watching as the trembling Kai who already had veins bulging on his forehead held tightly onto his aching arm, Gerald simply shook his head before looking Kai in the eyes as he said, “Consider this to be a warning. If you ever dare to lay a finger on me or the Futabas again, I’ll be taking out every single member of your family. The Kanagawas will simply vanish off the face of the planet… Do I have myself clear?”

“L-loud and clear…!” whimpered Kai as he bolted out of there, afraid that Gerald would change his mind if he hung around any longer…!

Now that Kai was gone, Gerald couldn’t help but sigh. Shortly after, Aiden entered and asked, “Are we really letting him off that easily…?”
