Ch. 2231..2235: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 2231-2235
Chapter 2231
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2231 “What else?” Derrick nodded and replied.
“Just these for the time being. If I need your help, I will let you know in advance,” Gerald said.
“Okay. I will go back first and let my men investigate the two families. I will inform you immediately when there is any news.” Derrick stood up and left with quick steps after saying that.
Watching him leave, Gerald yawned.
As he poured himself another cup of hot tea, he began thinking about how to get rid of the Kanagawa and Hanyu families.
Although he had threatened the two families personally, Gerald knew that families with high status like them would not be afraid of threats. They would only stay quiet for a few days or a few dozen days at most.
After some time, they would resume their move on him. Gerald had experienced this countless times.
“Why are you sitting here?” As Gerald was deep in thought, Takuya pushed the door open. Seeing someone sitting in the middle of the room, he was startled.
“Derrick of Fareast Consortium came here, and I spoke with him for a while just now.” Gerald stood up and nodded to him as a greeting.
“Has he left already?” Takuya looked outside quickly.
“He should have left the manor by now,” Gerald said with a shrug.
“Then, let’s leave him be.” Takuya closed the door of the parlor and walked to the bookshelf. After that, he pressed the switch and revealed the secret room.
“After I went back last night and thought about it, I realized that I had overlooked one thing.” After making sure the door was locked, Takuya spoke as he walked into the room.
“What is it? ” Hearing this, Gerald followed after him immediately.
“I had been looking for the family‘s records about Yearning Island yesterday, but I forgot that a few hundred years ago, the ancestors had completely preserved everything about the Seadom tribe. The current Futaba clan is actually considered a new clan.”
Takuya spoke as he flipped through the ancient books, scratching his head.
He had barely had any sleep last night. He kept thinking about how he could help Gerald, and it had kept him up until dawn. Just when he wanted to come over and check the records, he had been unable to resist his sleepiness.
After sleeping for two or three hours, he had opened his eyes and come here.
“Then, where did your ancestors keep all the records? Are they in these books or some other places?” Gerald couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m not sure either. When my father passed away twenty years ago, he mentioned it to me just before he died, but I did not take it seriously, so I did not ask.” Takuya sighed and answered honestly.
“It’s fine. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it. I can investigate it slowly.” A small hope kindled in Gerald, but it soon turned into disappointment.
“This seems to be the one.” After a while, Takuya’s excited voice was heard.
He pulled out a note from a book at the bottom of the shelf. However, due to its age, the paper had become very fragile, almost as if it would break into pieces with just a squeeze.
Chapter 2232
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2232 Takuya brought the paper to the table carefully and unfolded it with great caution, fearing that even the slightest shiver would fragment the paper.
Despite his carefulness, he still damaged a small part of the paper when he opened the paper.
“This should be the paper that records the Seadom tribe. It’s just a small piece of paper. I’m afraid it might not have the answer you want.” Takuya laid the paper flat on the table and sighed again very lightly. He feared that his breath might blow away the paper.
“It’s a bit blurred.” Gerald frowned and propped his hands on the table to read.
There were indeed some records on the paper, but the writing had become blurred and faded due to its old age. Gerald could not read what was written on the paper at all. Moreover, the writing on the paper did not look like the Weston language nor English, which was widely used in the West.
“Can you read this?” After looking at it for a while, Gerald could not figure out what it was and raised his head to ask Takuya.
“This should be the special script of the Seadom tribe. The ancestors did not pass this down, so I don’t know about it.” As Gerald was reading it, Takuya was doing the same. He shook his head and said helplessly.
“That’s a problem.” Gerald rubbed his stubble.
“That friend of yours seems to know many things. He even knows about the Seadom tribe. Call him here to take a look, maybe he can understand this.”
After looking for a moment, Takuya’s eyes suddenly shone.
“Master Ghost?” At the mention of his name, Gerald was reminded of this as well.
Without delay, Gerald turned around and went to get Master Ghost.
Within ten minutes, Gerald had dragged Master Ghost by his arm into the secret room.
“I asked you what you were doing, and instead of telling me, you just dragged me here early in the morning. I’m still very sleepy.” Master Ghost simply let Gerald pull him and said while yawning.
“You can sleep as long as you want after solving this.” Gerald plopped him on the bench in front of the table.
“What is it?” Master Ghost rubbed his eyes. He could sense the importance of the matter from Gerald’s tone.
“Look at this. Can you read the script on this paper?” Gerald pointed at the paper laid flat on the table and asked.
“Let me see.” Master Ghost opened his eyes wide and leaned over the paper.
He looked at the paper for nearly half an hour.
Gerald and Takuya stood still. No one opened his mouth to speak nor did they move around, fearing that it might disturb Master Ghost’s thoughts.
“This is the script of the Seadom tribe, right?” After a long time, Master Ghost asked.
“Yes. This should have been handed down by our ancestors.” Takuya nodded.
“I can read this, but…” Master Ghost showed a look of embarrassment.
“But what? Just say it.” Gerald was relieved and hurriedly urged him since the paper was likely to contain the method to find Yearning Island.
“On this piece of paper, it says that everything recorded about the Seadom tribe is all stored in one place for the Futaba family. This is just some very ordinary family document.” Master Ghost glanced at the paper again and said.
“It doesn’t say where it’s stored?” Gerald frowned at once.
“It’s written on the paper.” Master Ghost nodded.
Chapter 2233
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2233 “Are you looking for a fight?” Gerald raised his fist, ready to punch Master Ghost.
“The records about the Seadom tribe are in the ancient ruins in Yanam. If I am not mistaken, it should be in the same place where we found the sea map. So, that means we were only one step away from the secrets of the Seadom tribe, but we missed it.”
Master Ghost helplessly revealed the truth.
“The ancient ruins?”Gerald blinked his eyes.
“Indeed. It was written very clearly on the paper. Well, I am not very knowledgeable about the script of the Seadom tribe, so my translation might not be accurate.” Master Ghost dared not guarantee it. If he was wrong, it would be a waste of time and effort.
“Sigh…” Gerald let out a long breath.
They were indeed very near to the secrets of the Seadom tribe, but when he thought about it, he did not feel very sad. When he had entered the ancient ruins, he had not known about this yet and had thought that he could find Yearning Island and save his parents and sister once he got the sea map.
“So, you guys want to go there now?” Takuya looked at Gerald and asked.
“No.” Gerald shook his head.
“But you can’t get anything from staying in the family. You would only be able to uncover the secrets of Yearning Island when you go to the ancient ruins in Yanam. ” Takuya was confused and asked quickly.
“We will go after we have at least helped you settle the current problems.” Gerald knew that once he left, the Kanagawa and Hanyu families would take action against the Futaba family once they got the news.
Even with the business contracts with Fareast Consortium, it was still just a business deal. Still, the Hanyu family was an assassin family, and there was also Kanagawa Kai, who would do anything to achieve his goal in the Kanagawa family.
“This…” Takuya didn’t expect that the reason Gerald did not leave immediately was for his family.
“Patriarch Takuya, this is what Gerald has always thought. The Westoners always say that when we want to help someone, we should help them accomplish the whole thing well. Since we chose to help you, we can’t leave halfway, right?” Master Ghost said.
“Thank you… thank you so much.” Takuya was so overwhelmed that he did not know What to say. Even his hands were trembling.
“Anyway, Patriarch Takuya, we might have to take this paper away. However, after we solve the problem, we will surely return it in its original condition.”
After saying that, Gerald closed his eyes.
With the changes in the power of the Herculean Primordial Spirit in his body, the entire secret room became hot and dry. After a while, Gerald pressed his hand on the paper, releasing his essential qi from his pahn to wrap the paper.
After doing this, Gerald let out a breath and put the paper into his pocket carefully.
With the protection of the power of the Herculean Primordial Spirit, not to mention the daily folding and unfolding, there wouldn’t be any problem even if the paper was thrown into the fire for three days and nights.
“No problem. It’s not much use to the family. If you need it, you can just take it. I feel glad to be able to help you.” Takuya didn’t know what Gerald had done, but still, he said this.
“Then, let’s deal with the two families first. After that, we will go back to the ancient ruins in Yanam.” After putting the paper away, Gerald spoke calmly.
“Right. There is one thing I’m not sure if I should ask you about,” Takuya said in a low voice.
“Just ask.” Gerald laughed. Since he was about to learn the secrets of Yearning Island, his heart felt much lighter.
“About Fujiko, do you think you should tell her? Although you are just acting in front of outsiders, as her father, I know that my girl likes you. If you don’t tell her, I think she will feel very sad for a long time,” Takuya spoke rather embarrassedly.
Chapter 2234
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2234 “I will tell her.” Gerald nodded.
After fighting side by side with Fujiko for so long, it would be a lie to say that they did not have any attachment to each other. But now, Gerald only had Mila in his heart, and he would not fall in love with another woman anymore even if Fujiko was an outstanding lady.
“That’s great, that’s great.” With Gerald’s words, Takuya was somehow relieved. He sighed and took two steps forward to pat Gerald’s shoulder and say, ” But if possible, I still hope you can take care of Fujiko.”
“I will help wherever I can.” Gerald did not refuse.
After leaving the secret room, Takuya closed the wall first. As he watched Gerald and Master Ghost walk out, he couldn’t help but clasp his hands together. It was not because of Gerald taking away the item left behind by his ancestors, but because he knew that Gerald was about to leave.
Although he knew that Gerald was not a member of his family and could not stay here for long, this feeling was growing stronger and stronger. He was very reluctant to let Gerald leave. After such a long period, he saw Gerald as part of his family.
“You should keep this.” Gerald took out the piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Master Ghost. “I may have to go and clear up some trouble over the next few days. This is safer with you.”
“We should go there as soon as possible. The earlier we can learn the secrets of Yearning Island, the earlier you can save your parents.” Master Ghost took it carefully and put it in the innermost pocket.
“I know.”
Gerald nodded. Of course, he knew about this clearly. It’s just that the Kanagawa and the Hanyu families could not be finished off in just a few days and it might cause a stir in Japan. After all, Japan was not like Yanam. When two large families were wiped out, it would surely cause very serious effects.
“You can go and rest first. I will think about it.”
Walking to the door of the guest room, Gerald waved at Master Ghost and pushed the door open.
At the moment, in the Kanagawa family.
Ever since he had seen Gerald that night, Kanagawa Kai’s mood had not been very good. He didn’t even know why. Gerald was just a guest of the Futaba family, so how could the team leaders of the assassins of the Hanyu family fail? Even the top ten assassins on the assassin’s list could die in the hands of Gerald.
These people would have a certain success rate even if they wanted to assassinate the president of Western Union. In his opinion, assassinating Gerald should be a breeze.
“Young Master, you should eat something.” The servant stood outside the door with the meal. He knocked at the door and said in a low voice.
At a rough count, Kai hadn’t eaten anything for two full days.
“Get lost!” Hearing the voice ringing outside, Kai shouted angrily immediately. He was now immersed in fear and helplessness. Not to mention eating, even drinking water made him feel nauseated.
The servant did not dare to speak, so he could only wait outside with the food.
Kai smoked continuously in his chair. The ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette butts, and there were even several on the floor. The whole house was reeking of smoke, and if someone who did not know the situation entered the house, he would think that the smoke was caused by a fire.
“Just a petty Gerald Crawford, why can’t he be killed?!”
After taking the last puff, Kai slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.
After the Hanyu family had failed and Vulture, the seventh top assassin, had been killed, he did not know what method he should rise to deal with Gerald.
“Young Master, maybe I can go and look for two girls from Fame Academic College. You might feel more relaxed after having some fun.” After a while, the voice of his henchman rang from outside.
“You too, get lost!” Kai felt that the henchman whom he had just promoted had a problem in his head. He didn’t even feel like eating, why would he want to play with girls?!
Chapter 2235
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2235 But once he had said that, an idea suddenly popped into his head.
“You! Come in!” Kai’s face relaxed a bit immediately.
“Young Master.” The henchman entered quickly and walked toward Kai carefully. He withdrew his neck, fearing that he would be beaten up.
“What did you say just now? Repeat it to me again.” Kai put his hand on his shoulders and pinned him on the seat next to him.
“I didn’t say anything just now!” The henchman was too scared to speak. After sitting down, his legs were shaking.
“Say it!” Kai glared at him, and his voice got louder.
The henchman was scared again, and he had no choice but to repeat it with a bitter face. “I said that if you were in a bad mood, I could go to Fame Academic College to find two young girls for you to play with and maybe, you would feel better.”
“Haha, that’s right! This is it!” Who knew? As soon as the henchman had said that, Kai laughed loudly.
“Young Master, are you alright?” Looking at Kai’s face, the henchman asked hurriedly, worrying that his words might have turned Kai crazy. He could not bear the consequences.
“What could possibly happen to me?” Kai took a cigarette out of the box and threw it at his henchmen. Then, he lit one and paced around the living room.
“You’re right. I should go out and have a proper meal and then get two girls.” Kai felt much better. His henchman’s unintentional words had kind of given him a very good idea.
“Should I contact them?” asked the henchman.
“Wait, don’t rush.” Kai waved his hand.
“If you don’t want to go out, I can bring them back and send them here,” said the henchman.
“Who said that I wanted them?” Kai turned his head.
“Huh?” The henchman was confused, not knowing what Kai meant by his words.
“This is for Gerald.” Kai showed a sly smile. Since the hard way didn’t work, he would use the soft way. He didn’t believe that Gerald was invincible and that nothing could work.
“Listen. Book a hotel room for tomorrow night. Choose two extremely hot girls from Fame Academic College and bring them to the hotel. I have a use for them.” Kai thought for a moment and said to his henchman.
“No problem, I’ll get right on it.” The henchman nodded and noted it down.
The next evening.
Gerald was sitting on his bed thinking about the ancient ruins, his conversation with the old man, and everything he had seen after entering the stone room.
Still, it was already two to three months ago. Gerald had not taken it seriously at that time, so he couldn’t recall it at all.
“Who is this?” The phone rang. Gerald picked it up and asked.
