Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2167 “J-just ask me anything you wish to know! I’ll share anything that I can answer…! ” said Amare as hebreathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gerald’s hand retracting.
Sitting right in front of him, Gerald simply replied in a hushed tone, “First off, was it Will who told you toassassinate me?”
“I-it was… You see, the patriarch sent me off to do some errands for him, but just before I left, Willcalled me over to his room to give me the assassination order Since he’s the patriarch’s successor, Icouldn’t just refuse…”
Smiling subtly in response, Gerald then said, “I see. Come to think of it, aren’t you worried that Darylwill find out about this?”
Gerald, for one, had figured that only Will wanted him dead. As far as he knew, Daryl was onlyinterested in testing his abilities.
“W-well… as long as I return in time, the patriarch shouldn’t find out… I was already planning to leavethis afternoon, you know? But then you suddenly showed up…! What more, just as I was wonderinghow to make a move on you earlier, you took the initiative to bait me out here with your essential qi! Icouldn’t say no to that!” replied Amare with a sigh.
Had he known that things would end this way, he would’ve never agreed to Will’s request…
Nodding in response, Gerald thought for a bit before asking, “… And are you the one who killed thatspecial forces agent from Yanam?”
“… That… was me, yes…” replied Amare as he reluctantly nodded.
“I see… Putting that aside, I have one final question. As long as you give me an honest answer, I’llspare your life and let you leave unharmed. How do I get to Yearning Island?” asked Gerald as henarrowed his eyes at Amare.
Now that all his other questions had been answered, Gerald made sure to save the best for last. Whileit was true that he had managed to find Fujiko thus potentially allowing him to contact the Seadomtribe, if he managed to get the information straight from Amare, then he’d be able to start making plansmuch earlier.
“… Trust me when I say… I don’t know either…” muttered Amare.
“… What? Aren’t you a top cultivator of the Crawford family? How could you not know about this?”replied Gerald with a slight frown. This was the exact same reply he had gotten from Will’s previousmen!
“I swear! I really don’t know! Aside from the patriarch and a few core clansmen, the rest of us are left inthe dark about all this…!” explained Amare.
“Then how did you leave the island? And how are you going to return?” asked Gerald as he raised abrow.
“Leaving the island is easy… All we need to do is to take a boat and sail for about ten kilometers beforewe enter the ocean… However, if we wish to go back, we’ll need to inform the family in advance…Following that, either the patriarch or a senior member will guide us back…” explained Amare.
“… I’ll ask one final time. Do you truly not know the way back to the island?” asked Gerald as he lit acigarette and began puffing it.
“My answer remains the same… While Yearning Island may seem like a regular island, I’ve never beenable to see it on my way back from sea… The only way I can get to the island is if I send a message tothe family and sail for a little while more… Shortly after, I’ll be able to see the vague outlines of theisland, and that’s howl usually get back..” replied Amare as he shook his head.
Truth be told, Amare was just as curious about the island as Gerald was. In fact, he had even triedasking the other family members about this in the past, though he would end up getting harshlyreprimanded every time he did so. Due to that, he eventually stopped asking…
Regardless, after a brief silence, Gerald nodded before saying, “… I believe you.”novelbin
Though he didn’t believe Will’s men before this, Amare’s case was different. After all, Amare wascurrently in a life or death situation. Because of that, Gerald knew he wouldn’t lie. Besides, Amare’sanswer was way too similar to what Will’s men had said for it to be a mere coincidence.
However, even if Amare and Will’s men had simply been trained to give the exact same answer if theywere caught, Gerald didn’t really mind. After all, he knew that he was going to learn the secrets ofYearning Island from the Seadom tribe sooner or later…
