Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2041

“What? Gerald’s reached Japan?” replied Will with a frown.

“Indeed. I saw him arriving at the dock with two other people! They’re currently in a hotel in one of Japan’s coastal cities!” reported the person on the other end of the line.

“Odd… Why’d he suddenly decided to head there…?” muttered Will as he pondered the situation.

“If I may, could it be that he’s come to Weston to look for more helpers…?” replied the caller. “It’s a possibility, though the guess could also be wrong. Regardless, keep an eye on him and don’t let him find out that he’s being tailed. I want to know every move he makes, so don’t you dare lose him or there’ll be consequences!” retorted Will before hanging up.

As he continued sitting in the living room, Will couldn’t help but continue wondering why Gerald headed to Japan.

After all, according to the information he obtained through thorough investigations, all of Gerald’s main connections were in Weston. As for any involvements Gerald had with powers outside Weston, the only thing Will could think of was Gerald’s reign of chaos in Yanam. Aside from destroying the three major families there, did Gerald really have any other involvements with powers outside of Weston?

In the end, Will simply couldn’t figure out why Gerald had gone there. With that in mind, Will knew that constantly monitoring Gerald was his best shot at gaining a better understanding of the youth’s actions. If everything went swimmingly, perhaps he would finally be able to kill Gerald…!

At that moment, several knocks could be heard from his door, prompting Will to get up and open it… And to Will’s surprise, it was Daryl!

Supporting himself with a walking stick, Daryl smiled at Will before asking, “Ah, here you are, Will! Have you heard about what happened on Gong Island…?”

“I have. Gerald brought the people along and ran off, right?” replied Will.

“Indeed. Still, his strength has gone well beyond my expectations… To think that the two groups of people you sent over failed to even lay a scratch on him… Regardless, do you have any idea where he’s gone?” asked Daryl as he stroked his beard.

Upon hearing that, Will’s legs quivered slightly as he said, “I… I’m afraid I don’t…”

Will was rightfully nervous since Daryl should’ve only been aware of the initial four people he had sent over to the island. After all, those were the ones he sent under Daryl’s orders to test Gerald’s strength.

By right, Daryl shouldn’t have known about the two confidants he had secretly sent over to assassinate Gerald. Despite that, after hearing Daryl’s statement, Will knew without a doubt that the old man knew about his actions. Thinking back, had Daryl actually come to violently interrogate or warn him that night…?

Seeing how nervous Will was, Daryl simply smiled as he patted Will’s shoulder while saying, “There’s no need to be so ill at ease…”

While he was still stunned, Will eventually snapped out of it before replying, “…I… I only did that to test Gerald’s strength… To be quite frank, I had no idea that Gerald was that strong… Neither of my confidants was even able to pose a challenge to him… In fact, one of them ended up having a broken arm! Due to that, his cultivation will surely be influenced negatively from now on…”

Waving his hand to signify that he didn’t mind, Will then said, “I see… Either way, again, do you have any idea where he is now?”

“I… don’t… From the moment he left Gong Island, I’ve lost all news about him…” replied Will as he shook his head.

Will, for one, had kept his network of information so confidential that he was sure that Daryl had never found out about it throughout the years. With that in mind, there was no way in hell he was going to tell Daryl about it now.

“I see. Well, if that’s the case, it’s unfortunate, but I guess we won’t be able to tell when he’ll return…” muttered Daryl in a cold and stern voice…

After a slight pause, Will eventually brought himself to say, “…Do… you really want to meet him that much, sir…?”

“To kill him, yes. I’ve told you time and again that you’re the only heir of the Crawford family, haven’t I? If you still refuse to believe that, then you can just leave!” retorted Daryl as a frown formed on his face.

“I-I apologize for doubting you! I believe you! I truly do…!” replied Will, quivering in fear.

“If you do, then why did you secretly plan that assassination that night?” replied Daryl in a hoarse voice as he stubbed his cigarette out before loudly tapping his walking stick against the floor.

“T-that…” muttered Will, momentarily at a loss at what to say.

Will, for one, had always thought that his plans were flawless. He never imagined that despite all his efforts to hide it from Daryl, that old man still managed to find out…!

“l say it right now that you nearly ruined all my plans!” scowled Daryl with a snort. “I-I know what I did was wrong now, sir…!” replied Will as he lowered his head.

In the end, Will was merely an adopted child, and his ultimate fear was having Daryl suddenly give up on him. It definitely explained why he generally didn’t dare to disobey Daryl’s orders. Still, if Daryl truly did decide to drop his protection and care for Will, then not only would Will lose his high position in Yearning Island, but there was a high chance that he would be driven away as well!

Knowing that Will had been scared straight, Daryl then said in a frigid tone, “This had better be the last time… If I ever find out that you disobeyed me again, you can just pack up and leave Yearning Island for good!”

Following that, Will left the room without another word, leaving Will frozen on the spot for quite some time.

Eventually, a cold breeze blew into the room, snapping Will out of it. Heaving a heavy sigh, Will then flopped onto a chair…

Though Daryl’s words were law, Will’s resolve to kill Gerald was even greater than his fear of abandonment. The truth was, he simply couldn’t bring himself to believe that Daryl wanted Gerald dead. With that in mind, Will knew that until he had personally killed Gerald, his position as the Crawford family’s heir would remain uncertain…

Gnashing his teeth as he grabbed a glass of water, Will then growled, “Gerald…! I’ll kill you if it’s the last thing I do…!”

Seconds later, the glass shattered from his immense grip, sending glass shards falling all over the place…

Moving back to Gerald, his body had returned to peak condition after a night’s rest in Japan. After breakfast, the three of them sat in their room to begin discussing things…

“Even after asking around last night, I wasn’t able to get any news about the Seadom tribe. However, it’s a fair assumption that this family has remained very well hidden in the real world’s Japan. After all, they’ve yet to be discovered by others,” said Master Ghost.

“I suppose so. There goes the hope of finding them in a day or two. I guess we’ll only be able to find the tribe after some time. We can’t get too hasty either or we may end up scaring them away when we actually find them…” replied Gerald—who didn’t find their current situation to be overly disappointing—with a nod.

“Um… What are you talking about…?” muttered Aiden who was completely at a loss…

“Essentially, the Seadom tribe is a tribe that’s existed for thousands of years… We’re looking for them since according to rumors, they know a way of locating and entering Yearning Island. With that in mind, if the rumors are true and we do manage to find them, we can finally have a head start above Daryl,” explained Gerald, knowing that Aiden no longer had to focus on protecting Lindsay.

After hearing what Gerald had to say, Aiden’s expression momentarily stiffened before he replied, “But… we don’t even know which area of Japan they’re in! Aren’t we essentially just on a wild goose chase?”

“Unfortunately, we are,” replied Gerald with a sigh.

“Regardless, there’s really no rush. I’m sure we’ll find the Seadom tribe sooner or later,” said Master Ghost. “Indeed. Speaking of which, what’s up with that special forces competition of yours? Let’s start investigating from there. It’s better than staying cooped up in this room anyway,” asked Gerald as he looked at Aiden.

“Well, according to my force’s leader, it’s really just an ordinary competition that selects the most powerful people from each country’s special forces to eventually compete in Japan. While it’s not a standard competition, there’s honestly not much honor to be gained by participating. Still, itis an international competition, so emphasis still needs to be placed on it,” explained Aiden.

“I see… Well, it wouldn’t hurt to go have a look at it, right?” replied Gerald.

“We may as well since we don’t really know where to start looking anyway. Still, since it’s being held in Japan, I’m sure most of the participants will be influential and powerful… With that in mind, we could possibly gain more clues about the Seadom tribe from them,” added Master Ghost.

“Then it’s settled, I suppose! ’ll go contact the organizer!” said Aiden as he fished his phone out to make a call.

Though the call itself was short, Aiden successfully got the organizer to send a car over—to their hotel—to pick them up. The organizer didn’t seem to mind Gerald and Master Ghost coming along either.
