The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 2121

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2121 Though Gerald felt that the old man’s reasoning clearly had holes in it, he chose not to say a word first.After all, even if things did go south, he knew he would still be able to protect Fujiko.

“Look, I’m just an outsider in all this, so I can’t settle your issues. With that said, if you still wish to fight,do it outside the Yamashita family’s territory. While I won’t meddle once you’re no longer here, as longas you remain, I forbid you from continuing to brawl. Do I have myself clear?” replied the old man ratherthreateningly before alternating his gaze between Gerald and Ryugu…

“… Got it,” muttered Ryugu who knew that he didn’t really have a choice but to agree.

“Good. Now that that’s out of the way, why don’t all of you accompany this old man for a few cups oftea? Since we rarely leave this place and we hardly ever get any visitors, I’d like to know what’s beenhappening in the outside world… Of course, if you’d like to leave first, I have no issue with that either,”replied the old man as he refilled their cups.

Upon hearing that, Gerald turned to look at Fujiko before asking, “Are you in any hurry?”

“Not at all… After all that’s happened, I’d like to rest here for a bit…” replied Fujiko who had a feelingthat Gerald had something in mind, as she played along.

Nodding in satisfaction, the old man then turned to face Ryugu and added, “And what about you?”

“I… I’m… in no hurry either…” growled Ryugu as he desperately tried to maintain a calm façade.

Naturally, he understood that if he left now, Gerald could easily escape later on! What more, sinceGerald already knew that he was being targeted, cornering him again would surely be difficult…

Waiting at the fringes of the Yamashita’s territory wasn’t a viable option either since who knows howlong those two would stall for time in here…

With that in mind, all he could do was wait here till Gerald finally decided to leave… Once that b*stardleft, he would simply follow after and immediately make his move once they were beyond theYamashita family’s territory…

Laughing heartily, the old man then said, “Well, then! How pleasing to hear! It truly has been too longsince we’ve last had visitors from the outside!”

While he was annoyed to hear that, Ryugu made sure to force a smile…

Following that, time passed rather slowly… By the time they were done with their fifth pot of tea, thesky was already darkening outside…

To Ryugu’s annoyance, however, Gerald didn’t seem like he was keen on leaving at all! With that inmind, he knew he had no choice but to call Takeshi and update him on the situation…

The second Ryugu excused himself and left the room, the old man immediately gestured for Gerald tocome over to him.

Seeing that, Gerald inched a bit closer before asking with a smile, “Is there anything I can help youwith?”novelbin

“Indeed… Both of you can leave through the back door now… Shortly after, you should bump intosomeone who’ll then lead you to a car that I’ve prepared in advance…” whispered the old man in asomewhat rustic Weston dialect.

Slightly widening his eyes, Gerald couldn’t help but say, “You’re… from Weston…?”

Patting Gerald on the shoulder, the old man simply replied, “This isn’t the time to be talking about this.Regardless, once you’re done with your business, return to this place and I’ll give you a furtherexplanation. Now leave…”

Nodding in response, Gerald then said, “…Noted. Thank you, elder…”

Though Gerald wasn’t particularly afraid of Ryugu, Fujiko still had a competition to attend…
