The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2071

If Fujiko ended up getting into a dangerous situation, Gerald knew for a fact that he would no longer be able to get any information about the Seadom tribe from the other Futabas. With that in mind, he had to save Fujiko before anything bad happened to her!

Upon realizing that the door had been opened, the henchmen guarding Gerald’s room instantly placed their hands behind their backs as one of them asked, “Is there something we can help with, Mr. Crawford?”

Clearly seeing where their hands had gone, Gerald smiled subtly as he replied, “Oh, I’m just going out for a stroll. It’s quite boring in there, you know? You aren’t going to stop me from doing that, right…?”

“Unfortunately, we’ll have to decline. Since you’re a valued guest of the Futabas, you’re one to the Kanagawas as well. With that said, do stay inside for your own safety. After all, if you encounter any danger during your stroll, we won’t be held accountable for that,” replied the henchman as he shook his head.

His smile instantly fading as his eyes went sharp, Gerald then said, “And what if I insist?”

“Again, you’re not leaving …”

Before the henchman could even finish his sentence, his eyes momentarily widened as something darted toward his face… and the next thing he knew, his face was burning with pain as blood rolled down his nose…!

“M-Mr. Crawford…!” yelled the other henchmen as they quickly pulled out their batons and surrounded him.

As the henchman who had just been punched wobbled to his feet, he held onto his broken nose as he shouted, “With… all due respect, Mr. Crawford…! You’re not in Weston! This is the Kanagawa manor you’re in…!”

Despite the warning, Gerald was done playing games here. Now that Fujiko was in danger, he needed to act fast before things turned more serious. With that in mind, he momentarily closed his eyes… and when he reopened them, all four of the men who had been surrounding him found themselves flopping to the ground, unconscious! With lightning speed, Gerald had knocked all of them out!

Eyes now fully widened as he stared at his unconscious colleagues, the man with the broken nose found himself frozen on the spot. The Westoner was far too strong for any of them…!

After snapping out of it, the man then dropped to his knees before pleading, “P—please…! I don’t know anything…! “

He knew if he didn’t surrender now, not only would he receive further injuries, but there was also a chance that he would lose his life…! While it was true that his task was to serve Kai and the Kanagawas, his life was much more important!

Seeing that, Gerald didn’t even bother about him and simply began bolting toward Kai’s room…

Though there were plenty of people patrolling the manor, Gerald successfully avoided them, and eventually, he came across what appeared to be a large wing of the building… Sensing that Fujiko was probably on the fifth floor, Gerald wasted no time and began charging up the stairs…

By the time he got to the fifth floor’s corridor, he heard a scream coming from one of the rooms! With that, he rushed toward that door and kicked it to pieces!

Upon entering the room, he was immediately greeted by the sight of Kai pinning Fujiko onto his bed like some kind of beast! Fujiko herself was crying in despair as her torn jacket laid close to the bed…

By that point, Kai’s brain was so animalistic that he hadn’t even realized that Gerald had barged in.

Whatever the case was, upon witnessing Kai’s disgusting actions, Gerald couldn’t help but frown as he yelled out, “Miss Fujiko!”

Grabbing Kai by his collar, he then tossed the drugged up man onto the floor.

Though Kai finally had a feeling that something was wrong, his moment of clarity was quickly drowned again by feral lust, leaving the man panting heavily on the floor like some rabid dog…

Looking away from the disgusting man, Gerald then walked over to Fujiko’s side and softly asked, “Are you alright, Miss Fujiko…?”

“I—I’m fine… Thank you for coming in time… Otherwise, I would’ve surely…” muttered Fujiko as her voice trailed off. It was evident that she was too terrified to even imagine what would’ve happened to her if Gerald hadn’t saved her in the nick of time…

“… Whatever the case is, the Kanagawas don’t seem like a trustworthy family at all. With that in mind, allow me to send you home,” replied Gerald as he looked away upon remembering that Fujiko’s clothes were all torn up with a sigh.

“But… if I leave, my family and I won’t be able to survive the year… We really need the Kanagawa family’s help…” mumbled Fujiko as she wrapped the blanket around herself…

Though she really wanted to leave with Gerald now, as the young lady of the Futaba family, she knew she had to put her family first… This was something that her father had instilled within her ever since she was a child. With that in mind, while it was true that she’d be able to avoid getting sexually assaulted by Kai again by leaving now, her family…

“About your family’s problems… I may have a solution for you. Besides, do you honestly think that the Kanagawas will actually help the Futabas after Kai’s had his way today?” replied Gerald as he glared at Kai who was currently breathing heavily on the floor.

Gerald, for one, was no stranger to witnessing arranged marriages held for the sake of getting help from more influential families. In the end, marriages like these never worked, and Gerald was sure that Fujiko couldn’t understand this. Still, the Futabas must have really been in a complicated situation for them to resort to all this…

Either way, upon hearing that, Fujiko’s eyes instantly widened as she asked, “You… can help us…?”

“Let’s talk about this once we get out of this place,” replied Gerald, knowing that Kei’s men would definitely start coming after him after finding out that he had beaten up their allies to get here. The slower they left, the more trouble they would eventually find themselves in.

After staring at Gerald a bit longer, Fujiko snapped out of it before saying, “…Yeah, let’s get out of this place first then!”

She couldn’t understand why she trusted this Westoner so much… After all, they had just met each other not too long ago. Even so, she believed that anytime she got into trouble, as long as Gerald was present, she would surely make it out safely.

Thinking back, it was probably because Gerald’s actions spoke louder than his words. Not only had he saved her from the Hanyu assassin back then, but he had saved her yet again today from Kai’s malicious grasps. Since he kept appearing in the nick of time, Fujiko couldn’t help but feel that Gerald was her guardian angel…

Honestly, all that had happened in the past few days was similar to scenes in action movies she had watched as a child…

Whatever the case was, before the duo could even leave, two pairs of footsteps could be heard running over followed by a voice shouting, “Brother Kai!”

Following that, a henchman and a servant appeared at the entrance, their eyes widened when they saw Kai lying on the floor.

Smiling, Gerald then got to his feet before saying, “Stay here. I’ll handle them.”

Watching as Gerald walked over to them, the henchman glared at him before yelling, “Brother Kai was right… You’re nothing but trouble to the Kanagawa family!”

Ignoring that statement, Gerald simply bolted forward! Before the henchman knew it, there was an acute pain at the back of his head… and just like that, he was already knocked out!

Upon seeing that, the servant’s jaw immediately dropped as he attempted to flee and alert the others about Gerald. Unfortunately for him, before he could even take a single step forward, he felt a hand grabbing onto his shoulder…!

“And where exactly do you think you’re going…?” asked Gerald with a smile.

“T—that…! I… Um… I… need to use the bathroom…?” stuttered the terrified servant whose legs were already quivering.

Shaking his head, Gerald simply smacked the man on his neck… and with a gasp, the man’s body went limp. Following that, Gerald began dragging both of the unconscious men into the room…

By that point, Fujiko had already put on her clothes again. Thankfully, though Kai had ripped her jacket to shreds, her main clothes remained largely intact.

Whatever the case was, after entering the room, he tossed the two men onto the bed.

Surprised to see that, Fujiko was prompted to ask, “… Um… What exactly are you doing…?”
