Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2111

“Just to make it clear, I didn’t say any names,” replied Gerald as he shook his head. He, for one, knew better than to just casually point fingers at any of the Futabas. However, from his previous experiences, there was a pretty high probability that Fujiko’s guess was right.

“… Whatever the case is, I really don’t even dare to imagine such incidents taking place within my family…” muttered Fujiko as her expression darkened.

Even from when she was a child, Fujiko had been well taken care of by all the members of her family. With that in mind, it made it all the more difficult for her to imagine any of her kind family members standing against her father and doing harmful things to their family…

Gerald himself remained silent after hearing that, and simply concentrated on driving, making sure to keep a close eye on the two cars through his rear view mirror behind them at the same time…

In less than twenty minutes, the duo found themselves getting increasingly close to their destination. By this point, there were hardly any villages down the path. Hell, there weren’t even any wild dogs around, and to a country with such little land like Japan, this was nothing short of unnatural…

Regardless, upon realizing that Gerald kept looking around, Fujiko was prompted to ask, “Do you know why this area is so sparsely populated…?”

Shrugging in response, Gerald simply replied, “Beats me.”

“Well… This is the territory of the Yamashita family. With that in mind, apart from their family members, nobody else dares to live here…” explained Fujiko.

“… Hmm? What kind of people are the Yamashitas?” asked Gerald, his interest slightly piqued. Though he didn’t know much about Japan, he was informed when it came to the more influential and powerful families. With that said, he found it odd that he hadn’t heard of the Yamashitas before. After all, in order to obtain such a large piece of land, the Yamashita had to undoubtedly be powerful…

Seeing how curious Gerald looked, Fujiko quickly explained, “Well, they’re quite an obscure family in Japan… Their abilities simply aren’t good enough to obtain a ranking in Japan.”

“Then how did they buy such a massive piece of land?”

“Well… though the commoners see them as a regular family, to the insiders, we know that they have a rather ‘unique’ profession… They’re secretly a family of ninjas,” replied Fujiko in a lowered voice.

Similar to cultivators, ninjas weren’t individuals whom people from the secular world could learn about all willy-nilly. After all, exposing that such a profession actually existed could easily stir up a never ending storm!

“… Ninjas, you say?” said Gerald with a slight frown.

“Indeed. I’m sure you’ve heard of them before…” replied Fujiko with a nod.

“The way the media depicts them? Yes, though I had honestly no idea they really existed… After all, I’ve never encountered one before!” said Gerald as he shook his head.

“Well, they’re very real, and it’s an unspoken rule for those who know that ninjas are real that their existence should be kept a secret. I believe it’s similar to how Westoners keep the existence of cultivators a secret,” replied Fujiko while nodding.

“… Oh? You know about cultivators?” asked Gerald as he turned to look at her.

“Of course I do! I’m the young mistress of the Futaba family, after all. Besides, our family is—”

Though Fujiko’s initial tone had been gleeful, halfway through her sentence, she seemed to realize that she had said something she shouldn’t have, prompting her to shut up.

While Gerald found that suspicious, he maintained a calm façade as he asked, “What about your family?”

“I… Well, of course my family would know such things. The Futabas are quite powerful, after all,” replied Fujiko before covering her mouth slightly.

“Makes sense,” said Gerald as he went along with her. Still, after all this time they had spent together, Gerald had a feeling that Fujiko had accidentally just confirmed that her family was part of the Seadom tribe.

Feeling thankful that Gerald wasn’t pressuring her to continue, after breathing a sigh of relief, Fujiko then added, “…Regardless, though I know there are ninjas in that family, I’ve never personally met any. After all, the other powerful families, ours included, don’t really have a reason to contact them. With that in mind, they’ve just been living here, left mostly secluded from regular citizens.”

After thinking about it for a while, Gerald further slowed the SUV down to ensure that the other two cars would be able to catch up before looking out the windows while asking, “… Speaking of which, now that we’ve entered their territory, do you think they’ll come looking for trouble with us?”

“There’s a low chance of that… After all, as far as I know, the Yamashitas don’t really have any conflicts with other families. With that in mind, as long as we don’t disturb or accidentally threaten them, we should be able to pass through their territory just fine,” replied Fujiko.

“That’s good to know. Regardless, Endo and Izumi are probably with them. Since we’ve caught those two, once we take care of those people who’ve been tailing us, we may finally find out whether it’s the Kanagawas or Hanyus who are behind the assassination attempts,” sneered Gerald with a wry smile.

“Regardless of which family they belong to, we can’t let them off easily after all that they’ve done!” growled Fujiko who now cared about her family’s safety more than anything else.

Nodding in response, Gerald finally hit the brakes once they got to a flat, barren area…

Following that, he was prompted to ask, “Do you still remember what I told you?”

Confused, Fujiko replied, “… Um… Perhaps be a bit more specific…?”

Lighting a cigarette, Gerald then glanced at the rear view mirror and watched as the cars behind them got closer and closer… Pushing the car door open, he then stretched before saying, “I promised to protect you and your family… And I always keep my promises.”

Upon hearing that, Fujiko paused for a moment before asking, “… Why are you doing all this for us…?”

She really couldn’t imagine why Gerald was helping her and her family so much. Even if there was something from her family that he wanted which she had no idea what it could possibly be, with how strong he was, he could’ve easily gotten what he desired through brute force.

By this point, Fujiko was pretty sure that he wasn’t doing all this for her either. After all, back when they were still pretending to be a couple, Gerald had actively made it clear that it was just pretend. He wasn’t interested in her at all!

As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but smile. After all, to others, she and Gerald were still a couple. Though they were faking their relationship now, who was to say that it wouldn’t end up turning into a real one? The thought of it alone greatly improved Fujiko’s mood.

Either way, after Gerald stepped out of the SUV, the other two cars came to a halt not too far off. Even so, nobody stepped out. Instead, the men opted to update Ryugu about their current situation…

“… What? They’ve entered the Yamashita family’s territory?!” yelled Ryugu as he slammed the steering wheel before hitting the brakes, causing the car to come to a screeching halt by the roadside…

“Get the physical map out! ” ordered Ryugu the second he hung up.

Immediately doing as Ryugu ordered, Takeshi then retrieved the map and unrolled it before him…

Alternating his gaze between the car navigation screen and the physical map, Ryugu traced the route that Gerald had taken… before his finger finally stopped atop the barren mountain. According to the GPS, the two cars truly had entered the Yamashita family’s territory!

“D*mn it! What the hell is Gerald doing in the Yamashita family’s territory?! What kind of relationship does he have with them?!” grumbled Ryugu as he slammed his fist into his seat.

“… Leader… Do you think… that the man who thwarted Saburo’s assassination plan could be a ninja from the Yamashita family…?” speculated Takeshi.

“… A possibility certainly exists… However, I’ve never really met any of the ninjas from that family… Hell, I’ve never even heard of any connections between the Futabas and the Yamashitas! ” replied Ryugu as he scratched the back of his head, wondering how things had suddenly gotten so complicated…

Pretty much every powerful family in Japan knew about the Yamashita’s ninjas. However, since nobody had ever seen any of their ninjas, there were rumors that the ninjas were only the stuff of legends and weren’t actually real…
