Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2172 “… We should discuss this with my father. With how big the issue’s gotten to the point where Kai’sstarted hiring international assassins, I’d rather not make the final call on my own…” muttered Fujiko asshe shook her head, prompting Gerald to remain silent…
It was around noon when the four of them arrived at the Futaba manor. Thankfully, Gerald didn’t senseany hiding individuals nearby anymore.
Either way, upon stepping out of the car, the group was greeted by the sight of Takuya’s secretary whohad been waiting outside for them this entire time. Upon seeing them, the secretary quickly held ontothe things Fujiko was carrying before saying, “Miss Fujiko! Mr. Crawford! Do come in! The master’sbeen waiting for you!”
Simply nodding in response, the group then entered the manor… and soon enough, they came acrossTakuya who had been waiting for them in the parlor.
Getting to his feet the moment he saw them, Takuya took a brief glance at Aiden and Master Ghostbefore turning to look at Gerald and exclaiming, “You’re back! I’ve already told my servants to preparea grand meals so hurry on in! As for the two brothers at the back, just make yourselves at home andjoin us!”
Nodding in response, the group of five then entered the dining room and sat around the table. Onceseated, Fujiko was prompted to say, “Um… There’s something I need to tell you, father…”
“Oh? What is it?” asked Takuya as he turned to look at his daughter.novelbin
Before Fujiko could say anything else, Gerald quickly interrupted, “It’s nothing major. It can certainlywait till lunch is over!”
Gerald, for one, knew that if Fujiko told Takuya all this before lunch, Takuya would probably lose hisappetite. Telling him a bit later wouldn’t make much of a difference anyway.
Suddenly seeing things from Gerald’s perspective, Fujiko quickly added, “… Yeah, it can definitelywait!”
“… I see! Well, then after lunch it is! Speaking of which, I hired a new chef two days ago, and he’s aWestoner! With that said, do tell me whether the food is to your liking later!” replied Takuya who wasmuch too glad to see Gerald home to be bothered by his daughter’s hesitance.
“Definitely!” declared Gerald with a hearty laugh. With that, the group of five chatted happily amongthemselves for the next half hour till food began being served.
Seeing that they were going to eat soon, Takuya quickly cleared his throat before saying, “Just to makethings clear, Gerald’s friends are my friends, so you two won’t have many rules restricting you withinthe manor. With that said, while I’d love to let you two stay here for a few days and potentially even getsomeone to guide you around for a tour, the manor’s not exactly the safest place for you to stay innow…”
Takuya, for one, was well aware that he couldn’t afford to bear the responsibility of those two’s injuriesif he allowed them to stay here and something happened to them…
Clearing his own throat, Gerald then replied, “…Well, you see, I was planning on letting them stay herefor the time being. I’ll have to trouble you to prepare two guest rooms for them that are close to whereI’m currently staying…”
“But… You, of all people, should know my family’s current conditions, brother Gerald… If they stayhere, there’s a good chance that they’ll…” muttered Takuya, looking rightfully embarrassed.
“Trust me when I say that it’ll be more dangerous for them if they don’t stay here. Don’t worry, I’ll makesure they remain safe. Even if something does happen to them, I’ll be the one responsible. None of itwill have anything to do with the Futabas!” declared Gerald with a smile.
“… Since you put it that way… Fine. I’ll agree to it! You there, go arrange for two guest rooms close toMr. Crawford’s room!” ordered Takuya after momentarily hesitating as he looked at his secretary.
