Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2173
“Understood! ” replied the secretary with a nod before quickly leaving the parlor…
Soon enough, all the dishes were served, and before everyone laid at least a dozen Weston dishes. Aside from the
chicken and fish, the rest honestly looked like ordinary home cooked dishes. Even so, just the foods’ smell alone and
the way they were presented made everyone aware that this was the work of a top notch chef…
Since all the food had arrived, the smiling Takuya quickly began distributing chopsticks as he said, “Come on, enjoy
the food while it’s hot, and tell me if it’s to your liking! Honestly, ever since brother Gerald came, I’ve been growing
fonder and fonder of Weston food! Truth be told, I wasn’t even sure if I’d ever get used to Weston food back when
Fujiko implored me to try some!”

Following that, everyone enjoyed their meals without saying much in between bites. Once all the dishes were
finished, Takuya ordered his servants to clear the table and serve them some tea.
After the tea arrived, Takuya turned to look at everyone else at the table before asking, “So… I remember you
saying that there was something you wanted to tell me earlier… Now that we’ve had our meals, care to share?”
Sipping on the tea that Takuya had just handed him, Gerald then calmly replied, “Well, I was attacked by an assassin
from the international assassin list. I’m assuming he was hired by the Kanagawas.”
Upon hearing that, Takuya was so surprised that he almost dropped the teapot! His hands now trembling, Takuya
quickly asked in a hushed tone, “… What?”
“Again, I’m only assuming that it was the Kanagawas, so there’s no need to get too worked up,” replied Gerald with
a slight frown.
“How couldn’t I get worked up? In case you’ve forgotten, the two assassins from before are still in this manor!”
muttered Takuya after taking in a few deep breaths.
“Speaking of those two, they’re apparently known as Endo and Izumi. They’re both Hanyus sent by Hanyu Ryugu of
the Hanyu assassination department. As with the previous case, I have a feeling that the Kanagawas are behind
this, though I can’t say for sure,” replied Gerald.
“They’re… Hanyus…?” muttered Takuya as his face turned slightly pale.
Their families had been living peacefully for over a hundred years now… How could all that change in less than a
month? Not only had the Hanyus sent people to assassinate his daughter, but they also attempted to assassinate
his guest! Had Gerald not been present in those two events, his daughter could’ve been dead by now…!
“Indeed… Either way, the Kanagawas are my prime suspect in all this… After all, the Hanyus are an assassin family.
Why on earth would they hire an international assassin to do their dirty work instead? And since Endo and Izumi

went after me instead of Fujiko, it only gives me more reason to believe that Kai’s the one behind all this. With that
said, how are you planning to solve all this, patriarch Takuya?” asked Gerald as he sipped on more tea.
“… I’ll need time to think about this… After all, one wrong decision may bring harm to us all…” muttered the now
frowning Takuya as he leaned against his chair, wondering how to go about all this…
Honestly, he was tempted to just pick a fight with both families and attempt to brute force his way to Victory.
However, Takuya knew better than to do that. After all, while Gerald would certainly be able to guarantee his
daughter’s safety, the rest of his family would quickly crumble against the other two families. But if they just
remained on the defensive, they’d surely be attacked over and over again till they eventually lost…
Feeling helpless, Takuya was prompted to ask, “… What about you, Gerald…? What do you think?”
“Well… I can get rid of the Kanagawas first. Though I could choose to finish off the Hanyus first, they’re still an
entire family of assassins. With that said, I’ll need more time to prepare if I wish to take the Hanyus out,” replied
Gerald who had honestly been waiting for Takuya to ask…
