Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2063 Knowing that he’d never be able to find out if they truly were descendants of the Seadom tribe—hencefailing to learn about the secrets of Yearning Island—if he didn’t take the initiative to ask, after eating fora while, Gerald casually said, “You know, that pendant of yours seems rather special, Miss Fujiko.”novelbin

“Oh? You mean this?” asked Fujiko as she pointed at her necklace.

“Indeed. The symbols on it are rather unique compared to other pendants I’ve seen before. It makesme wonder whether this is an ancestral pendant of your family…” replied Gerald with a smile, makingsure to keep his tone relaxed and natural.

Smiling faintly in response, Fujiko then said, “You have quite a keen eye… Actually, this pendant is-“

“It’s an ancestral pendant of our family, yes. However, there’s nothing really unusual about it,”interrupted Takuya before his daughter could finish her sentence.

“Ah, I see…” replied Gerald, continuing to smile. It was clear that Takuya didn’t really want to talk aboutit, and from all the small clues he had gathered up till this point, Gerald was pretty sure that theFutabas truly were members of the Seadom tribe.

Breathing a sigh of relief since Gerald didn’t continue prying into it, Takuya then said, “Speaking ofwhich… I’m afraid I need your help with something…”

“Go on,” replied Gerald.

“Well, I was hoping that you could accompany Fujiko for a while after our meal. Though it’s still a bitdangerous out there and we haven’t solved our issues with the Hanyus just yet, I assure you that this is

an important matter. I’m… not exactly that confident in the other masters in our family, so I can onlytrouble you…” muttered Takuya in a slightly embarrassed tone.

“Sure, I’m fine with that. Don’t worry about it,” replied Gerald without the slightest hesitation.

Smiling in response, Takuya then said, “I really appreciate it…!”

With that out of the way, once their meals were over, Gerald and Fujiko left the house together…

Sitting in the passenger seat, Gerald—who was honestly still staring at Fujiko’s pendant—couldn’t helpbut ask, “Speaking of which… Where are we headed to?”

After a brief pause, Fujiko sighed before embarrassedly muttering, “… I’m… about to partake in a blinddate…”

“A what now?” replied Gerald, his eyes widening as his jaw dropped.

“…Essentially, my father figured that our family is still too weak… With that in mind, if I got married tosomeone powerful, our family would surely be able to remain peaceful…It certainly doesn’t help thatthe Hanyus are making a move again…” explained Fujiko as she shook her head helplessly, making itclear that she was reluctant to do all this from the very beginning.

Even so, she was the young mistress of the family, so she knew she had to put her family first…

Now understanding the gist of it, Gerald was prompted to ask, “And… are you willing to go through allthis…?”

“Not if I can help it. Unfortunately, there really is no other way. At the very least, I should at least meetup with them first. After all, if I end up offending that family, the Futabas will no longer have a place in

Japan…” said Fujiko in a helpless tone.

From the day she became the Futaba family’s young mistress, Fujiko’s fate was no longer hers tochoose, and she had come to accept that over the years… Then again, it was good enough for her ifshe was able to contribute to her family…
