Chapter 2136

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2136 “From now on, he will be replacing Alder Lightbody and participate in events with all of you here!” The Japanese war department official introduced the man beside him.

“A special forces agent from Yanam?”

Everyone was astonished. They were all clear regarding the news of the disappearance of Alder, one of the Yanam special forces. Now that they were suddenly being introduced to another Yanam special forces agent, they couldn’t help but feel shocked.

“I’m replacing Alder Lightbody to participate in the war contest,” The man with a slightly dangerous look scanned across the room with his unfriendly gaze before speaking up.

Although everyone’s eyes were attracted to him, no one spoke a word. After all, with what had happened in Yanam, no one wanted to seek trouble for themselves.

Plus, no one could really deduce whether or not this special forces agent was replacing Alder to actually join the competition or to investigate this matter.

One thing that was certain, however, was that there would be big trouble once anybody was misunderstood as having something to do with Alder’s disappearance.

“Special forces agent from Yanam.” Gerald, who was leaning against the window, heard the voices from below him. Looking at the man, Gerald couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle.

“As long as you’re doing it right, they won’t be able to find us.” Master Ghost nodded.

“Don’t worry about this kind of matter. The new replacement leader of Yanam, Carter Lucab, is a coward. Last time before we left Yanam, when he made a call to me, he was being all respectful, fearing that I wouldn’t leave and would continue staying in Yanam.”

“I’m guessing that this man only wants that position. As long as he has the position of the leader as well as the power, other issues don’t really matter to him at all.” Gerald lit a cigarette.

Recalling the times in Yanam, Gerald decided that after he had found his way to Yearning Island, he would return to the ancient ruins first.

Last time, it had been a rush, going and leaving there, and all he did was take the sea map with him. Based on the current situation, he himself didn’t know the secret of the sea map at all, and Gerald believed that the ancient ruins weren‘t as simple as they seemed.

Maybe he would get to solve the mystery of the sea map as well by going back this time.

“It seems that it’s still not a threat to us.” Gerald’s words made Master Ghost sigh in relief. He was not afraid of matters like this. He was just worried that if they bumped into this situation, he wouldn’t be able to be of much help and might even hold Gerald and Aiden back, which was something he wouldn’t want to risk.

“There won’tbe any threat. It’s hard enough to bring any trouble to us.” Hearing that, Gerald laughed and made a joke.

The two continued chatting for a while before going back to the room.

They had nothing to do with the special forces training, and Gerald didn’t detect any danger around him. This meant that Aiden and Fujiko were safe here.

With a cigarette between his fingers, Gerald thought about what had happened during his time here as he lay on the bed.

The Crawfords in Yearning Island.

The Sun League.

The Funagawa and Hanyu families that he had come in contact with in Japan.

There was even the mysterious Yamashita family which had ninjas. Till now, Gerald still didn’t understand why the elderly man had helped him out back then. He even sounded like a man from Weston, judging from his accent.

Chapter 2137

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2137 There was actually a Weston man in a ninja family.

Plus, Gerald didn’t even know the reason as to why he had helped Gerald. Maybe there was something he wanted to know from Gerald.

Nevertheless, after the war contest ended, Gerald would head back there to at least find out the secrets of the elderly man. If he could be of help to Gerald, it would be much easier when he faced the Kanagawa and Hanyu families.

Without him realizing it, Gerald felt a wave of tiredness. Due to not detecting any danger, he lay back down on the bed and fell asleep. His cigarette fell to the ground after it had finished burning.

In the morning, Gerald was woken up by a call.

The one who woke Gerald up was none other than Noda Ichiro.

“Mr. Gerald, may I know where you are now?” Gerald opened his sleepy eyes and picked up the call after briefly looking at the caller ID. Noda’s slightly rushed voice was heard over the phone as soon as it was picked up.

“I’m resting in a room in your training ground.” Gerald knitted his brows together slightly. Just as he could finally have a good sleep with no worries, he was woken up by someone, and this obviously made him a bit unhappy.

“Don’t go anywhere and wait for me right there, I’ll be there immediately!” He could hear that Noda’s tone had apparently relaxed. After saying that, he hung up the call right then.

Gerald scratched his head, not understanding what this man wanted, but he nonetheless got up and cleaned himself up. The man was, after all, the Japanese army investigator, and there must be a

reason as to why he was coming over. Therefore, Gerald couldn’t refuse to see him.

As soon as he had come out of the bathroom, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Noda entered in a panic after the door was opened for him. He first looked at Gerald up and down, only to find that Gerald looked as though he had just woken up, and his worry then went away.

“Mr. Noda, it’s not the first time we’ve met. You can just tell me anything right away,” Seeing his reaction, Gerald said with a chuckle.

“I’ll be frank, then.” Noda swallowed and continued, “The Yanam special forces agent has bizarrely disappeared, and it’s most likely a murder case based on our investigation.”

“Oh?” Gerald was taken aback, but he still asked casually, “Did you find Alder Lightbody’s body or any information?”

“It’s not him. We haven’t stopped investigating Alder’s disappearance, but we have found nothing about it until now. It’s as if this man just vanished out of thin air, I haven’t seen anything as bizarre as this for so many years! ” Noda shook his head and said.

He paused for a while before continuing, “However, I’m not talking about him. It’s the Yanam special forces agent who just arrived last night to replace Alder in the war contest. He too has disappeared, but he might have been murdered based on what we saw on the surveillance camera and the scene.”

“He died too?!”

Hearing his words, Gerald felt that it was unbelievable. It was true that he had killed Alder, but Gerald hadn’t paid any attention to that new special forces agent at all as he had no reason to kill him.

This was somebody else’s work.

Gerald grew a bit curious as to who would do this at this time when they all knew that the war contest was about to start and that there was tight surveillance around the area. It would have been better to do it on his way back to Yanam after the contest was over.

“That’s right! He didn’t attend this morning’s training, so we went to search for him in his room and only got to know about this after tracking him with the surveillance system.” Noda nodded.

He felt like he was still in a dream. Alder’s disappearance still hadn’t been figured out and yet, this had happened as well!

Chapter 2138

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2138 Now that the second Yanam special forces agent had been killed too, he would lose his position as an investigator if it still wasn’t solved.

“Did you see who killed him? I have a feeling that it might be the same person who killed the two of them.” Although Gerald was slightly curious as well, this matter had nothing to do with him after all, so he appeared to be very relaxed.

“This can’ t be certain for now. I feel that the possibility is small. The one who did it before this is much stronger than the current one. For the current matter, we’ve found his height and body size, and have released a wanted notice for this. The only thing is that we don’t know when he will be caught.”

“Hopefully after we catch this person, we can find out about the previous killer as well, and this would save a lot of trouble.”

Noda sighed and spoke in a deep voice. After receiving this news in the morning, he had been stunned on the bed for half an hour before finally thinking of coming over to see Gerald.

For one, it was to make sure whether it was Gerald’s actions or not. Although he hadn’t been able to find any clues on Gerald, he had always thought that Gerald held the greatest possibility of committing the crime. Secondly, he didn’t know who to release his grudge on.

The conversation in the trial room yesterday had made him feel like Gerald was a good listener.

“Hopefully.” Gerald nodded lightly.

“Seeing how you’ve been sleeping all along last night, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’d advise you all to stay safe. If that man was able to attack someone from Yanam, he might target someone else too.”

“However, don’t worry. We, the Japanese army, will do our best to protect everyone.”

Noda stood up and stretched a hand toward Gerald.

“No problem.” Gerald smiled and reached out to shake his hand.

After seeing Noda off, Gerald sat down on the sofa and thought about this matter, and about who would have attacked the Yanam special forces agent especially at an important time like this.

“Was it Aiden who came back just now?” Not long after, Master Ghost, who had been woken up by the noise, came out of his room.

“No, it was Noda Ichiko from the Japanese investigation team. He told me that the new special forces agent from Yanam who just came over yesterday was killed,” Gerald shook his head and told him honestly.

“Huh? You killed someone again last night?!” Master Ghost was fully alert now as he rushed to sit beside Gerald on the sofa. He asked anxiously, “How could you do this again at a time like this?! Japan must have been alerted already when you killed Alder last time, plus, there are surveillance cameras everywhere here.”

“I didn’t say I was the one who did it” Gerald laughed out loud.

“If it wasn’t you, who would do this? Isn’t murdering special forces agents of Yanam at the present moment practically finding trouble for oneself?” Master Ghost became relieved, but he was curious as well.

“I’m thinking about this too.” Gerald passed a cigarette over to Master Ghost.

“It’s good that it has nothing to do with you. I thought that you did it again. It’s best to do nothing out of the ordinary now as the Japanese must be closely investigating this matter. Although they won’t be

able to find out anything about us, we had some conflict with Alder before after all, so we’re the most suspected ones,” Accepting the cigarette, Master Ghost replied after inhaling the cigarette twice.

Chapter 2139

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2139 “I understand this too. Let’s see what happens. I’m curious about who would dare to kill Yanam’s special forces agent at the current moment. It won’t be easy for Japan to explain themselves now seeing how two men were killed. Once the news is out, Carter Lucab has to give the Yanam special forces and citizens a good explanation as to whether or not he wants to handle this matter.”

Gerald rested one leg over the other and spoke.

At the same time, the whole training ground was in a commotion.

Although everyone here was either workers for the army or special forces from around the world, the two consecutive murder cases made them feel unsafe here. The killer could even set his target on the special forces, and it was a murder where the victim was unable to defend himself at all, which meant that this man was stronger than anyone on the scene.

No one could ascertain as to whether or not the killer was targeting only Yanam special forces agents. Maybe killing the two was just the beginning, and the rest would be the next victims.

No one dared to guarantee that none of these things wouldn’t happen again.

Once it did, they would have lost their lives.

“This can’t go on anymore!” In the office of the training ground, a Japanese army colonel couldn’t help but yell as he slammed the table.

“I’m telling you, it’s just Yanam for now, but what if it happens next to men from Weston, Western Union, or the European countries?!”

“We can’t afford to offend them at all! If their special forces agents die on our land, all of you, including me, will have to bear very serious consequences!”

The colonel scanned everyone’s faces, and everyone whom he stared at would lower their heads automatically without a word, not knowing what to say. After the disappearance of Alder Lightbody, a tight investigation had been going on, but it had already been half a month, yet they couldn’t find even a single clue about it, not to mention finding out who the killer was.

“Colonel, we have been investigating it, but Alder’s disappearance is too bizarre, almost as if he just vanished from the planet! Even after we checked all the surveillance cameras from the surroundings and searched through all possible spots around there, we couldn’t seem to find any clues.”

“However, we haven’t given up yet, and we will still carry out the investigation diligently!”

Noda, who stood at the most upfront, reported the situation. He wasn’t the one with the highest post here, but he was responsible for this matter.

“I know about this. I can allow you to search on this slowly, and Yanam’s side also feels that this matter is too abnormal, so they have given us more time to figure this out.”

“But this time, we now actually have another agent of Yanam special forces getting murdered in our training grounds of Japan! We let him die right under our care and hundreds of surveillance cameras!”

The colonel slammed the table hard again, and he was so shaken up that spit came out when he talked.

“We just got the news that the body of the new special forces agent was found. It was in the drain a few hundred meters away from our training ground,” Noda was afraid that the colonel would get even more enraged, so he quickly reported the latest situation to him. “Also, Mr. Colonel, the height and body size of the killer were all captured by the surveillance cameras, so I believe that we’ll find him very soon!”

“This news is not too bad!” The colonel nodded in satisfaction. This was something he could inform the Yanam forces about if they asked him for updates.

“Colonel, I have another idea. Why don’t we pick a few soldiers from the army to stand guard at the training ground? The killer must be so strong that he could even kill the king of special forces from other countries easily. If he carries on doing that, others might not be able to handle him.”

Chapter 2140

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2140 Noda looked more relaxed.

“Does anyone have any opinions on this?” The colonel lifted his head and scanned across the people who were standing behind Noda, staying quiet all this while.

“No.” They all shook their heads, and no one was willing to speak further at a time like this for fear of getting into trouble.

“You have a point I’ll tell the army’s leader right now to have them send over some people to check all the hotels and any suspicious places closely, as well as to increase surveillance around the training grounds. We won’t allow the same thing to happen again!”

The colonel stood up and paced back and forth in the room as he informed the authorities of this contest. He knew better than anyone that if anything similar happened again, Japan’s global status would be greatly impacted.

They might even face criticisms and reprimands from other countries.

He, as the colonel who was responsible for the war contest and the safety of the training ground, would hit rock bottom for sure. Not only would he lose his position, but he would also have to bear the consequences.

This was something he was not willing to see.

“What Colonel says is right!”

“Yeah, I believe that under Colonel’s brilliant guidance, there won’t be any similar problems happening at the training ground!”

“We’ll cooperate with the colonel for sure!”

“Don’t worry, Colonel. I will quickly catch the culprit based on the clues we have. We might get all the answers we need after catching him!”

Seeing how everyone was flattering him non-stop, Noda followed suit and spoke up as well.

“Alright, I don’t want to listen to any nonsense from all of you anymore. I’ve already said how we should tackle the issue. But keep this in mind. If anything like this happens again, every one of us will be punished, and not just me, do you understand?!”

The colonel waved them down and said with a frown. The bitter truth was that these men only knew about flattery and weren’t capable of solving anything at all.

“Understood!” Everyone promised.

Although two murders of special forces agents had happened consecutively, the war contest was conducted on the expected date.

Around six in the morning, when the day was just starting to brighten up, all the kings of soldiers from different countries gathered on the training ground. The contest would be conducted for two days, and there would be events as easy as target shooting and wrestling, as well as tasks such as hostage rescue as an imitation to the actual battlefield.

Gerald, who had followed Aiden along here, stood not far from the authorities of the Japanese army.

It could be clearly seen that the two consecutive murders had led them to increase more soldiers around the training ground. Every one of them was geared up with actual bullets and guns as their eyes constantly scanned around the scene on alert and surrounded the whole training ground.

“Seems like the army is terrified,” Seeing this situation, Gerald chuckled and said to Master Ghost in a low voice.

“This is Japan, which has limited armed forces. If it’s in other countries, the security would be even tighter as no one knows whether the killer will attack again. The man has to be an idiot or is extremely confident with his ability to have killed a Yanam special forces agent before the war contest for special forces began,” Master Ghost replied quietly after checking where the men from the Japanese army were and making sure that they couldn’t be heard.

“It’s most likely the latter.” Gerald nodded. What Master Ghost had said was exactly the same as what he himself thought.

“To be able to kill a member of the special forces in such a short time means he has extraordinary ability. I’ve seen this man from Yanam’s special forces before, and he seems to be quite strong himself.” Taking a deep breath, Gerald continued, “Do you think it could be the cultivator from the Crawford family?”

“You’re saying that a man with this level of strength could be him?” Master Ghost opened his eyes wide. He had never thought in this way before.

“Who knows. I’m just guessing.” Gerald waved his arms.
