Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2056
“Speaking of which… you said that the person who attacked you was an enemy of your family?” asked Gerald,
refusing to turn around in case she hadn’t fully dressed herself yet.
“Indeed… His family has consistently been hostile toward mine. I don’t even know how he managed to find out I
was staying here, but he did and he immediately attempted to assassinate me…” replied Fujiko as she shook her
head. Her family was clearly not expecting the attack either since they hadn’t warned her in advance…
Whatever the case was, upon realizing that Gerald was still facing away, she couldn’t help but laugh before saying,
“I’m dressed now, so you can turn around…”
Hearing that, Gerald gave a sigh of relief as he finally turned to face her again…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“So… you came here to settle some affairs, you said… Pardon my assumption, but based on what I saw earlier, you
seemed to be much stronger than that man who tried to kill me. With that in mind, could you be representing
Weston for the competition…?” asked Fujiko as she stared at Gerald with dreamy eyes.
Though how they had met was rather cliché—with a heroic man like Gerald saving her, a damsel in distress, in the
nick of time—Fujiko couldn’t help but adore every second of it. Waving his hand in response, Gerald then smiled
before replying, “Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. My friend’s the person participating, and I only accompanied
him here.”
“I see! Regardless, I think I should mention that by helping me, you’ve unfortunately offended the Hanyu family…
They’re an organization of top assassins here, and I’m afraid they won’t be letting you off that easily…” muttered
Fujiko, her worry clearly reflected in her eyes. After all, though she knew that Gerald was strong, no amount of
strength could take on an entire family of world-famous assassins that had a history spanning hundreds of years…
Hell, not even the Japanese military dared to mess with them…
Upon hearing that, Gerald raised a slight brow as he replied, “…Oh? The Hanyus, you say…”
“Indeed… Have you heard about them before?” asked Fujiko.
“Well, they’re quite famous so it shouldn’t really be a surprise if I have,” replied Gerald with a smile as he began
reaching for a cigarette. However, the moment he considered Fujiko’s presence, Gerald immediately refrained
from smoking.
Whatever the case was, after thinking for a while, Fujiko eventually said, “…Well, since you’re in all this trouble
because of me, why don’t you live with my family for the moment? I’ll explain what happened today to my father,
and from there, we’ll have a proper discussion to guarantee your safety… Though the Futabas may not be as
strong as the Hanyus, we’re still quite influential in Japan. With that in mind, I have a feeling that the Hanyus won’t
attack you all willy-nilly once they realize that you’re under our protection…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I don’t mind going with that,” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.
Truth be told, he wasn’t afraid of the Hanyus at all. After all, even if all that family’s elites came after him in one go,
he was pretty sure that he wouldn’t even suffer a scratch. Still, this was his prime opportunity to get to know Fujiko
better. Better yet, if her family truly was part of the Seadom tribe—and he managed to get close to them—, he
would surely obtain a greater chance of inquiring about the secrets of Yearning Island. With all that in mind, there
was no way in hell he was ever going to reject that idea.
“Then it’s settled! Go ahead and tell your friend that you’ll be returning with me for the time being. The Hanyus
usually act fast and I’m worried that they’ll send people over before we even manage to get out of this place,” said
Fujiko as she gave a good stretch, revealing quite a bit of her well-endowed figure beneath her simple clothes. The
sight of it alone was enough to make Gerald look away…
Seeing that Gerald wasn’t budging from the couch, Fujiko then nudged him on the shoulder before adding, “Um…
Hello? We’re burning daylight here… The Hanyus could cause trouble for us at any moment, you know?”
