Ch. 2236..2240: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 2236-2240
Chapter 2236
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2236 “Are you Gerald?” Kai’s voice could be heard.
“It turns out to be Young Master Kai Kanagawa. What can I do for you?” The moment Gerald heard Kai’s voice, he became amused. So, he crossed his legs and asked.
“How could I be addressed as a young master in front of you?” Kai’s gloomy laughter could be heard.
“If there’s anything, just spill it. If not, I’m going to hang up.” Gerald had no interest in wasting time with Kai. Besides, he knew that Kai definitely meant only evil since Kai was willing to take the initiative to call him.
“Don’t.” Kai was instantly anxious. “I know that I’ve made a lot of mistakes previously. You’re forgiving, and you don’t take them to heart. So, I would like to treat you to a meal as a form of compensation and apology for you. Then, we can still be friends in the future.”
“Sure. No problem. What time?” Gerald endured his laughter and said so.
“Ah?” Kai did not expect that Gerald would agree to it in such a straightforward manner. Hence, he was struck speechless and did not know what he should say.
“Could it be that you were just joking? You don’t actually want to treat me?” Gerald continued and asked him.
“Of course not. I sincerely want to treat you to a meal.”
Kai immediately denied it. Currently, he wanted Gerald to come out so badly. He certainly would not miss that chance.
“I’ll give you a chance given your sincerity.” Gerald said with a low voice, “Send the details to my phone.”
After he had said that, he hung up his phone.
At the other end of the phone, Kai punched the wall. He was very vexed with Gerald’s attitude, but he was slightly delighted because Gerald had agreed to it. He was certain that he could definitely make Gerald lose his reputation that time around as long as Gerald could come out.
“Gerald, since I can’t do it the harsh way, I’ll try the soft way. I don’t believe that you don’t have any weaknesses.” Kai narrowed his eyes and ground his teeth as he said so. His countenance was full of darkness.
After sending the location of the hotel to Gerald, he immediately asked his confidant to come back to his room.
“What’s wrong, Young Master?” His confidant hurriedly rushed over.
“Did you settle things at the hotel?” Kai pointed at the door. After his subordinate had closed the door, he questioned him.
“Yes. I’ve booked a private room on the top floor.” His confidant nodded.
“Where are the university students?” Kai continued to ask him.
“I found them too. I paid each of them five hundred dollars. They’re very cooperative, and they’re now waiting in the hotel room.” The confidant continued to answer his questions.
“Where’s the medicine?” Kai nodded in satisfaction. He believed that he could definitely ruin Gerald in one go as long as everything was prepared nicely.
“It’s here as well. I especially gave an order and asked them to go to the customs office to get it. It was nearly withheld there.” The confidant fished out a bottle of brown medicine from his pocket and handed it to Kai.
Kai took it and looked at it for a short while. He then put it away randomly before he took out a stack of hundred dollar bills from his wallet and threw them in front of his confidant. “You did a rather good job this time around.”
“Thank you, Young Master. Thank you!” The confidant immediately grabbed all of the money. With that money, not only could he have a grand feast, he could even have some fun with two B-list or C-list celebrities in Japan. If it was a university student, he could even keep her as his mistress for one to two years.
Taking the money, he then left swiftly.
Chapter 2237
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2237 During the few days that he had been working for Kai, he had learned that he could not stay by Kai’s side for too long. If not, he might say something wrong and make a mistake. It would most probably get him into trouble.
Even if he stood there without moving, he would also become a target for Kai to vent his feelings out.
An afternoon passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
Gerald drove the ear and reached the hotel based on the location sent by Kai. Gerald only revealed that he was going out to resolve a small issue. Hence, he did not bring anyone with him. After all, Kai was a villain.
There were certainly people lying in wait for him. Gerald did not want others to take the risk with him. Just as he had parked his car in the parking lot of the hotel, a waiter trotted over to him.
“May I know if you are Mr. Gerald Crawford?”
Before Gerald had fully rolled down the window, the waiter bent his body and asked.
“Yes, that’s me.” Gerald nodded.
“Mr. Kanagawa has long been waiting for you upstairs. He told me that I must wait here.” The waiter opened the car door for Gerald and put his hand on the car roof too.
“Lead the way.” Gerald got out of the car and followed him into the hotel.
Kai, who was waiting in the private room, received the news that Gerald had reached the hotel.
“Act naturally later. Gerald is not an ordinary person. If you act suspiciously, he’ll certainly see that something is wrong. Then, we may even die here, let alone do something to him.” Kai put away his phone and said lightly to his confidant.
“Don’t worry, Young Master. I definitely won’t spill the beans.” His subordinate took a deep breath and nodded. The moment they had said that, Gerald opened the door and came in.
Thinking of what had happened that night, Kai subconsciously stood up, his hands trembling slightly.
Still, he took a deep breath and forced himself to stay calm.
“Young Master, this is a rather grand occasion.” Gerald took a glance at the private room before he looked at Kai and said lightly. As for the subordinate beside Kai, he did not take the subordinate seriously at all.
“Of course I need to be generous to serve you. Otherwise, how could it be worthy of your identity?”
Kai gradually eased his tension. Looking at Gerald, he put on a fake smile and said.
“Then, let’s sit down. I haven’t eaten anything today, by the way. It seems like I’m lucky to be able to enjoy great food today.” Gerald did not bother about them, and be directly sat down on the chair, devouring the food.
As for the dishes, Gerald was not worried at all as to whether they were poisoned or not. After all, he had the Herculean Primordial Spirit to protect him. Even if it was the most powerful poison in the world, it would not be effective.
Gerald was eating heartily. Seeing that, Kai was slightly happy. As long as Gerald ate more, it meant that he was much more relaxed. Then, it would be more convenient for Kai to drug Gerald later.
“Gerald, let me propose a toast to you. I’ve offended you a lot in the past. Now that I think about it, I was indeed over the line. I hope that we can be good friends in the future.” Before long, Kai raised his wine glass.
His cup was filled with sake, which was of a very low percentage of alcohol. On the other hand, the wine in Gerald’s cup was more than seventy percent. For a drunkard like Kai, he would definitely be knocked out after he had two glasses of that kind of alcohol.
“No problem. If I have a friend like you with such a status, you’ll help me to resolve all the problems I face in the future, right?” Gerald laughed loudly. He then raised the wine glass and directly gulped it down.
The taste of the strong wine spread around in Gerald’s mouth. Certainly, he had foreseen those tactics.
Chapter 2238
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2238 Although it did not produce much of an effect on him, he still pretended as though he was not good at drinking. He ceaselessly drew in cold air.
“Gerald, it seems like you’re not very good at drinking.” Seeing Gerald’s appearance, Kai became much more confident.
“That’s right. I’m very weak at drinking. I basically get drunk after two to three glasses of wine.” Gerald echoed Kai’s words and said so. In truth, that kind of wine did not affect him at all. The more he drank, the more he would just need to go and pee. He could even use his Herculean Primordial Spirit to evaporate the urine in his body.
“We’re the same type of people. Then, let’s eat first!” Kai did not urge Gerald to drink more wine. If not, Gerald might feel that something was amiss.
Besides, Kai became not so anxious anymore after he learned about how much Gerald could drink. After a meal, one at least needed to drink four to five glasses of wine.
“You’re flattering me.” Gerald put down the wine glass and continued eating the food in front of him.
Kai just stared at him. After a short while, he could not help but ask, “By the way, Gerald, what kind of relationship do you have with the Futaba family exactly? How come you help them so much when you’re a Westoner? Could it be that you’ve fallen in love with Fujiko?”
“It’s just coincidental.” Gerald waved his hand and continued eating.
Hearing Gerald’s words that carried no meaning, Kai knew that he had made a vain attempt. Hence, he ceased talking.
Time passed, and Kai watched as Gerald ate endlessly. He then continued to make Gerald drink a few glasses of wine.
Gerald did not disappoint Kai either. After downing two glasses of wine consecutively, Gerald used the essential qi in his body to make his face look redder. He also pretended to be drunk in his actions.
“Young Master, why do you have to deal with the Futaba family? Didn’t your family maintain peace with them for hundreds of years? Or did someone from the Futaba family send the news to you secretly? If not, how did you know where Miss Futaba is?”
Gerald held his chin with one hand, and even the words he said were slightly incoherent. He looked like he was indeed drunk.
“How is it possible that someone could have sent the news to us secretly? But it concerns my family, so I can’t tell you about it.” Kai was stunned for a short while, but he revealed nothing.
“It’s fine if you don’t tell me about it. I understand.” Waving his hand, Gerald replied.
“Let’s continue eating. It’s my treat today. Eat and drink whatever you like. If it’s not enough, I’ll ask the waiter to serve you more!” Kai nodded. He felt that Gerald was terribly drunk.
After having another two mouthfuls of rice, Gerald threw away the spoon and pretended to be drunk. He then directly lay prone on the table. Before long, one could hear his snores.
“Gerald?” Seeing that scene, Kai was slightly helpless. Unexpectedly, he had not even drugged Gerald before the latter had sprawled over the table.
However, on the premise of knowing Gerald’s means, Kai did not lose his vigilance. He called out to Gerald a few times before he walked to him gently and called out to him again.
After Kai saw that Gerald made no response and movement, he stretched his hand out to pat Gerald’s back briefly.
“He’s indeed bad at drinking. At first, I thought that it would be very troublesome, but I didn’t expect that I would be able to settle him with such great ease!” Seeing that Gerald was indeed drunk, Kai broke into a smile. He had no scruples with his words now.
Gerald was bad at drinking. Kai knew that after four to five glasses of wine, which had an alcohol percentage of seventy percent, Gerald would not wake up even if the roof collapsed, let alone regain his consciousness. At least, he would sleep soundly for more than ten hours.
Chapter 2239
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2239 Kai had gained that kind of experience from his addiction to alcohol in the past.
“What should we do now?” His confidant walked to him and asked.
“What else can we do? Ask the waiter to come and carry Gerald to the room downstairs. Is the camera ready?”
Kai wanted so badly to kill Gerald directly in that instant. He knew that he would certainly be able to do so if he truly wanted to.
But he dared not do so. Although his family possessed a powerful status in Japan, the Futaba family was not easy game either. If the Futaba family gained something against him, his entire life would be ruined. Soon the waiter had arrived, and he carried Gerald out of the private room.
The two female university students had long been waiting there, and the cameras had been set up in the room, waiting for Gerald to be sent there and fall into Kai’s trap.
“Be gentler. Don’t wake him up! ” Seeing that the waiter was being careless, Kai immediately reprimanded him.
If Gerald fell to the floor or the waiter accidentally knocked him against the door, he might wake up instantly.
The waiter carried Gerald to the bed carefully. After he had received some tips from Kai, he hurriedly left.
“This is the money for you.”
Kai took out a stack of hundred dollar bills from his bag and threw them on the bed. “Remember. You have to give all you have to serve my friend. As long as he’s comfortable, this is nothing but small money.”
“Thank you, Sir!” When the two university students saw how generous Kai was, their eyes brightened. He was much more generous than the other bosses.
After Kai had left, he did not go and check out the surveillance system. However, he prepared to return to the room and take a rest. Although he did not have seventy degree strong wine, he accompanied Gerald and drank much wine. Besides, his body had long been ruined now, and he could not take that.
“Go and keep an eye on it If anything happens, call me. Do you understand?” Before Kai entered his room, he especially gave an order to his confidant.
On the surface, his confidant agreed to it. However, after Kai closed the door, he immediately walked to the elevator. He used the money Kai had given him that day and made an appointment with a C-list celebrity. He certainly could not waste such a great opportunity to go and stand guard before a computer.
Gerald was still lying on the bed in the room.
He still did not know what Kai wanted to do until that moment.
However, after spreading his senses around with the Herculean Primordial Spirit, he could clearly notice that a few cameras were operating in the room. Gerald focused his attention, and an invisible essential qi was spread out of his body, making all of the surveillance system and hidden cameras unable to function normally.
“He’s drunk.” At that time, the two university students were still discussing how to serve Gerald. When they saw him sleeping soundly while lying on the bed the moment he was carried into the room, they were soon in a slight dilemma.
“Then, what should we do? Mr. Kanagawa gave us a lot of money. Lf we just sit here and do nothing, I’m afraid that he’s going to retrieve all of the money.”
The other girl patted Gerald’s back Seeing that he was still not awake, she was slightly helpless.
“Who are you?” Gerald used his essential qi and sensed that Kai and the others had left. Hence, he did not pretend anymore. He turned around and asked lightly.
“You’re awake.” Hearing Gerald’s voice, they revealed a smile.
Chapter 2240
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2240 The two of them sat nearer to Gerald. Afterward, they started to take off their clothes.
“Wait. What are you doing?” Gerald frowned deeply.
However, he soon understood it after he saw their actions. It appeared that Kai wanted to get him drunk. Kai had set up a grand feast to scheme against Gerald and wanted to shoot an indecent video of Gerald using the surveillance cameras.
“Of course we want to serve you. Mr. Kanagawa told us very clearly. You’re his prestigious guest, so he told us that we must serve you well. If not, we won’t be able to get any money.” One of the university students replied. As she talked, she took off her coat.
“Don’t take off your clothes first.” Gerald pressed her hand before he released her immediately. “If you take off your clothes now, you won’t be able to get any money.”
Hearing Gerald’s threat, they stopped.
“Who are you?” Gerald sat further away from them.
“We’re students from Fame Academic College. Don’t worry, Sir. Our bodies are very clean. We always go to have a body check up every half month. We definitely won’ t let you get infected by any diseases.” The woman even thought that Gerald had some worries. Hence, she gave an explanation.
“Behave yourself well and sit over there.” Gerald was slightly disgusted. These women did not do good deeds. They actually engaged in such affairs by manipulating their bodies to earn money. Although
they could earn money fast, they would regret it one day. At that time, they would not be able to wash their bodies clean.
“Okay.” The two women nodded briefly.
Gerald inevitably felt that it was slightly amusing when he saw them behaving themselves. He did not know how Kai had come up with such an idea. Kai actually wanted to use that kind of tactic to deal with him.
Certainly, it was impossible that he would leave just like that. Since Kai wanted to get rid of him, he had to give Kai some form of response.
“Just leave.” Gerald turned around and took a look at the two people in front of him before he said in slight impatience.
“But if we leave just like this, we won’t be able to get the money.” The two women took a look at each other. They thought that money was much more important than anything else. If not, they would not do such a thing.
“If you don’t leave now, I’ll guarantee that you won’t even be able to get the money you have now.”
Frowning, Gerald looked at the swelling bags beside them. Hence, he could guess that the bags must be full of a lot of cash.
“Let’s go, then.”
The two women knew that the man before them was Kai’s prestigious guest. Hence, they assumed that what he had said was true. They immediately got up from the bed and walked outside. If they had to give up the money they had just received, they would have made a vain attempt by going there.
Watching them leave, Gerald shook his head and heaved a sigh.
He did not want to care about those kinds of people, and he was unable to do so either. Since they had come to such a state, they would only get worse.
Smoking a cigarette, a thought dawned upon him.
If he had not known about the affairs related to the ancient ruins, he might have waited there for a longer period of time and used other methods to get rid of the Kanagawa and Hanyu families. However, now that he knew that there was something related to the Seadom tribe and Yearning Island in the ancient ruins, he could not delay his time there anymore.
If he could get rid of those two families sooner, he could return to the ancient ruins earlier. After learning the secrets of Yearning Island, it would be time to rescue his parents and sister.
Hence, Gerald decided to grab that chance and get rid of the trouble, which was the Kanagawa family, in one go. Although it would be slightly difficult if he wanted to exterminate that family entirely, he could get rid of Kai first.
Thinking of that, Gerald walked straight out of the room. Using the Herculean Primordial Spirit to sense the surroundings, he found Kai’s room with great ease. The moment he was about to knock on the door, his hand stopped in midair.
