Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2248 Upon hearing that, Gerald momentarily fell silent. While it was true that Amare had told him that hisparents and sister were being treated humanely, he was still worried that things could change at anymoment.
However, simply leaving to save them felt irresponsible toward the Futabas. After all, the second theKanagawas and Hanyus learned that he had left, they would surely start harassing the Futabas again,and Gerald was pretty sure that the Fareast Consortium could do little to stop them.
Now that the old man was volunteering to help, however, Gerald couldn’t help but feel more assured.
After all, the most mysterious family in Japan was stepping in! Knowing how strong the Yamashitaswere, Gerald believed that nobody would be able to touch the Futabas if they were really going to helphim.
Seeing how silent Gerald had gotten, the old man was prompted to ask, “So… made your decision?”
Looking at the old man for a while, Gerald then replied, “Are… you really willing to help me…?”
“But of course! In the end, you’re still Daryl’s grandson, so helping you is only right. Besides, I’mcurious to find out why that old man underwent such drastic changes since we last met… Honestly, Istill find it hard to believe that he locked your family up!” declared the old man with a smile.
“Well, alright then! I won’t be as worried as long as you’re involved! While I’m sure you’re already goingto do this, please do your best to help the Futabas once I’m gone. I’ll definitely return to help out onceI’ve rescued my parents and sister!” said Gerald in a determined voice as he slapped his thigh.
“Oh, I won’t be involved,” replied the old man as he shook his head.
“Come again?” asked Gerald, rightfully puzzled.
Laughing in response, the old man then took a sip of tea before replying, “Allow me to clarify. In returnfor getting the Yamashitas to guard over the Futabas, I only ask that I be allowed to join you on yourquest to save your parents. I believe that my family is more than capable of handling themselves, andyou’ll get extra help on your journey there too. What’s more, though it’s been ages since we’ve lastmet, I trust that once Daryl meets up with me, he’ll be compelled to treat your family better. So? Whatdo you say?”
Frowning slightly, Gerald then said, “But… remember, we still need to head to the ancient ruins inYanam first in order to locate Yearning Island. What more, I have a feeling that we’ll come across quitea few Crawford cultivators along the way…”
“Hmm? Worried that I’ll end up burdening you?” asked the old man with a smile.
“Of course not! You’re much more powerful than me…” muttered Gerald as he shook his head.novelbin
“Then what’s the issue? Listen, I advise you to head back and prepare yourself as soon as possible. I’llbe getting my family ready to protect the Futabas as well. If everything goes smoothly, then we shouldleave by dawn. How’s that?” asked the old man with a wave of his hand.
“… Fine. Let’s go with that,” replied Gerald in resignation. Though he had agreed with the plan, Geraldwas honestly still worried that the old man would suffer some injuries in the end. After all, though theold man was strong, the Crawford cultivators weren’t pushovers either.
Whatever the case was, Gerald then left the Yamashita family’s territory before driving straight back tothe Futaba manor.
Gerald, for one, wasn’t worried about Kai’s murder at all. After all, he trusted that the old man wouldknow what to do with the corpses. While it was true that the Kanagawas would surely fly into a rageonce they realized that Kai was dead, Gerald was sure that this would also deter them from dealingwith the Futabas any time soon.
Either way, by the time he finally arrived at the Futaba manor, the sky was already starting to darken.Come to think of it, Gerald had wasted two entire days just to get rid of Kai.
