Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2153 However, the fact that the Japanese Military hadn’t been able to locate him even though Gerald hadclearly sensed that person’s presence the night before was puzzling, to say the least.
“Of course, I am! Don’t worry, the investigation isn’t anything confidential so there’s no reason for me tolie,” replied Ichiro as he waved his hand.
“Indeed… Well, I wish you luck with your investigations! Do tell me if you require any help. I don’t mindsince I feel we get along well,” said Gerald with a subtle smile.
“… Do… Do you really mean that, Mr. Crawford?” asked Ichiro after momentarily freezing.
“What reason would I have to lie?” replied Gerald with a chuckle.
“That… That’s wonderful! With how strong you are, the culprit will definitely be caught in no time!”exclaimed Ichiro rather excitedly. Ichiro, for one, knew that Gerald alone had caused quite a messwithin the Yanam Military, and only someone exceedingly strong could achieve such a feat.
“You flatter me. Regardless, I’ll stick to my word,” replied Gerald as he stuck his hand out for ahandshake, knowing full well that he was only doing this in hopes of easing his search for the Crawfordcultivator.
What more, with the Japanese military’s investigation team involved, the culprit couldn’t just reveal hiscultivator abilities, thus forcing him to take on Gerald with only his martial arts skills.
Regardless, once Ichiro calmed down a little, he couldn’t help but ask, “…Come to think of it, whatbenefit do you get from all this, Mr. Crawford…? After all, you’ll only be wasting time and energy byhelping us…”

“I see… Well, whatever the case is, please accept my thanks on behalf of the military investigationteam! If you manage to capture the culprit, I’ll surely ask my military superior to record your merits!”said Ichiro as he returned Gerald’s handshake. Since Gerald was willing to lend his aid at his lowest,Ichiro now saw Gerald as a good friend.
Laughing in response, Gerald released their handshake soon after before replying, “Let’s work hardand capture the crook as soon as we can, then!”
Since Gerald had agreed to help, Ichiro wasted no time and immediately led Gerald to the colonel’soffice.novelbin
Upon hearing from the colonel’s secretary that the case could potentially be solved soon, the colonelprioritized returning to his office instead of continuing to watch the competition.
Once the colonel got there and sat at his desk, Ichiro immediately began reporting all the recentincidents to him while Gerald remained seated on a couch within the room.
A few minutes later, the colonel got to his feet and scanned Gerald from head to toe before asking, “…Gerald Crawford, correct?”
“That, I am,” replied Gerald as he got up before nodding.
“As you already know, I’m the colonel of the Japanese military, and I go by Shin Oda. Ichiro has told methat you’re willing to help us solve the two murders. While I’m happy to hear that, I do wonder if youhave any hidden agendas…” said Oda as he returned a nod…
