Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2122 Still, to think that the old man was actually a Westoner! While Gerald had no idea what was going on inthe old man’s mind, he had a feeling that the elder didn’t have any bad intentions toward them…

With that, Gerald and Fujiko then left through the back and true enough, someone was there waiting forthem.

After a quick bow, the man then began walking along the barren mountain, prompting Gerald andFujiko to follow after. Not too long later, the trio came across a car, just as the old man had said.

Handing Gerald the car keys, the man then respectfully said, “Do take this car, Mr. Crawford. Afterdriving forward for a bit, you’ll see the main road again.”

“Thank you,” replied Gerald without saying anything else. After all, it was already nearing dusk and theyneeded at least four hours to get to the competition venue. If they were unlucky, Fujiko’s tardinesscould very well affect her final results…

With that in mind, upon entering the car, Gerald immediately stepped on the gas…

After driving for a bit, Fujiko could no longer hold her curiosity back. Looking at Gerald, she wasprompted to ask, “So… What exactly is your relationship with the Yamashitas…?”

Chuckling in response, Gerald who had no idea who the old man from Weston was or why he decidedto help them simply shook his head as he replied, “Truth be told, this is the first time I’ve met him.”

“… Come again? You don’t know each other?” muttered the confused Fujiko.

“Not at all. With that in mind, I’m coming back here once the competition is over, just to get a few thingssorted out,” replied Gerald as he habitually attempted to get a cigarette. However, rememberingFujiko’s advice, he managed to refrain from doing so.

“… I see… Still, I didn’t think that there’d be a Westoner within the Yamashita family… What more, he’sapparently met my father before… Though he sounded like he was quite familiar with dad, I was nevertold anything about this before…” muttered Fujiko as the questions continued piling up.

“Then let’s find out more about all this together once the competition is over,” replied Gerald who wasjust as curious as to why the old man had decided to help them.

Moving back to Ryugu, after ending the call that took approximately ten minutes, he reentered thehouse only to momentarily freeze when he realized that Gerald and Fujiko were no longer there!novelbin

Upon hearing that, the old man took a long sip of tea… And once the cup was empty, he turned to faceRyugu before replying, “Hmm? They just left.”

“They… What…?!” growled Ryugu who’s expression instantly turned ugly. Had it not been for the factthat he didn’t wish to offend the Yamashitas, he would’ve already beaten up this old man…!

“Indeed. Is there a problem with that? After all, they aren’t exactly bound to my family. I can’t stop themfrom leaving,” replied the old man rather nonchalantly.

“… That…” muttered Ryugu as his voice trailed off. After all, the old man’s words made sense. In theend, he was the one to blame for making that phone call earlier. Because of that, Gerald and Fujikofound their chance to flee…

Now understanding that this was his own doing, Ryugu took a few deep breaths before calmly asking,“… Then tell me, how exactly did they leave and where are they headed to?”

When Ryugu had been making his call in the courtyard, he hadn’t seen anyone walk out the front door.The house wasn’t exactly large either, so the two of them hiding inside till he left was out of the

question…
