The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2141

“When you put it that way… I guess it is possible. After all, the culprit was daring enough to deal with such a strong, special forces soldier here, of all places. Normally, only you could pull something like this off, which means that the culprit is probably only slightly weaker than you. With that said, maybe he really is a Crawford cultivator… However, why would that person look for trouble with a special forces soldier from Yanam? Is there some sort of dispute between the Crawfords and the Yanam military…?” muttered Master Ghost as he stroked his goatee.

“There’s no point thinking about it. Good for him that he’s only here to deal with the special forces soldiers from Yanam. Regardless, even if he does come for us, there’s nothing to be scared of with me here,” scoffed Gerald as he crossed his arms while narrowing his eyes.

By the time Gerald’s sentence ended, the competition had already begun and special forces soldiers could be seen lined up in a neat row. Each of them had the latest sniper rifle models in hand, and everyone watched as they aimed for their targets for the shooting competition that stood nine hundred feet away from them.

Multiple shots could soon be heard, and the results were announced shortly after.

Gerald himself had little interest in this kind of competition, so after spectating for a while, he eventually got up and left. Seeing that, Master Ghost made sure to follow him closely as well.

The second the duo left, a car came to a stop at the training ground’s entrance…

Shortly after, a youth in a floral suit stepped out, followed by four of his bodyguards. As the group of five walked into the training grounds, they were just seconds too late to notice Gerald and Master Ghost taking a turn to enter an elevator, disallowing the two parties from meeting…

As expected, the youth was none other than Kai.

Since Ryugu hadn’t assassinated Gerald even after a week had passed, Kai decided to take things into his own hands. He knew for a fact that Gerald would attend the competition, which explained his presence here today.

Whatever the case was, whenever he thought about the humiliation he suffered that night, Kai’s desire to put Gerald down for good only increased. With that in mind, he wasn’t against using his high status to get the military to step forward and subdue Gerald. Regardless, when the colonel saw Kai, he immediately got to his feet before asking, “Oh? Mr. Kanagawa!

Fancy meeting you here, of all places!”

“I’m just here to have a look around,” replied Kai as he waved his hand, his eyes darting around the entire time.

“Well, whatever the case is, welcome, Mr. Kanagawa! It’s unfortunate, but since we’re currently hosting a competition, I’m afraid we won’t have much time to attend to you. With that said, I hope you won’t affect our event either. Don’t worry, once the competition is over, I’ll make sure to treat you to a proper drink!” said the colonel, not daring to offend Kai.

“Affect? Why would I do anything like that? I was just bored so I came out for a stroll. In other words, I’m just here through sheer coincidence. Regardless, just continue doing whatever you were doing and don’t bother about me. I’ll just be having a look around!” replied Kai with a smile.

Following that, Kai made a small gesture, prompting his bodyguards to scatter. The hunt for Gerald was on…!

Hearing that, the colonel opted to believe Kai and simply continued paying attention to the competition. The colonel, for one, knew that this wasn’t Kai’s first time here anyway, so as long as that youth wasn’t here to cause any trouble, he didn’t really care where Kai went.

It was half an hour later when Kai’s subordinates reunited with him.

The second Kai saw them, he immediately growled in a low voice, “Well? Did any of you manage to find him?”

“Apologies, but we couldn’t find him no matter how hard we looked! The only people present are the international special forces soldiers! ” replied one of the subordinates as the rest of them shook their heads.

“What? Was that b*stard Ryugu lying to me…?” grumbled Kai, a deep frown on his face…

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2142

Through this period, Kai had constantly been contacting Ryugu to get updates on Gerald’s assassination. However, not only did Ryugu fail to assassinate him, but that b*stard actually dared to tell him this morning that he had to temporarily cancel all his assassination missions!

Though it annoyed Ryugu to no end, it wasn’t as though he could do anything about it. Thankfully, Ryugu did mention that Gerald was going to participate in the special forces competition, which was why Kai had rushed over in the first place.

Even so, to think that he’d fail to find Gerald after searching for a good half-hour!

“I’ll have to disagree with that. Ryugu wouldn’t ever dare to lie to you,” replied another bodyguard as he shook his head.

The guards had previously met Ryugu together with Kai, and they knew for a fact that Ryugu respected Kai a lot. Since Ryugu didn’t even dare to raise his voice back then, there was no way he would be daring enough to lie to Kai!

“You say that, but did you manage to find Gerald?” grumbled Kai.

“… Unfortunately, no…” replied the guards as they shook their heads once more.

“…Let’s head back for now. I’m meeting Ryugu in the flesh to see what he has to say about this!” scowled Kai as he clenched his fists, clearly assuming that Ryugu was playing tricks on him. After all, thinking back, though Ryugu had told him that Gerald was here to participate in the special forces competition, Gerald wasn’t a special forces soldier. With that in mind, there was no way he would be a participant here!

Besides, Kai had seen Fujiko earlier, and if Gerald truly was here, he should be by her side. With his mind made up, Kai then gestured for his men to leave the training ground…

Noticing that Kai and his men were leaving, the colonel walked up to him before asking, “Oh? Leaving already, Mr. Kanagawa?”

“Indeed. I have some affairs to attend to, so I’ll be heading back first,” replied Kai as he got into his car. Watching as the car swiftly left the scene, the colonel couldn’t help but mutter, “Why on earth did he come here in the first place…?”

Hearing the colonel’s comment, a military officer took the chance to reply, “He may have come here to look for someone. After all, his subordinates were scanning this place high and low earlier. I’m assuming they left since they couldn’t find the person they were looking for.”

“Hmm? As if there’d be anyone he’s looking for here, of all places…” muttered the colonel as he shook his head in disbelief…

Moving back to Kai, while he was in the car, he made sure to call Ryugu to tell him to meet him in the teahouse where they had previously met… and it was about half an hour later when Kai himself arrived at the appointed venue.

Watching as Kai stepped out, Ryugu who looked slightly reluctant to be there forced a smile before walking up to Kai and saying, “Mr. Kanagawa, I apologize, but I’m extremely busy at the moment. Just skip the formalities and tell me what you need. I have to leave as soon as I can…”

Scoffing in response, Kai then sneered, “Hah! Before anything else, allow me to congratulate you for successfully making a fool out of me!”

Raising a slight brow as he watched Kai walk past him, the puzzled Ryugu was prompted to ask, “… Make a fool out of you? Why would I ever do such a thing…?”

Though he never really liked Kai, he wouldn’t ever dare to make a fool out of Kai. With that in mind, he ran after Kai who had already entered the teahouse before hurriedly adding, “Please elaborate, Mr. Kanagawa. How exactly did I make a fool out of you? You can’t just label me a liar that unfairly!”

Ignoring Ryugu, Kai simply looked at the shop’s owner before ordering, “Two pots of tea.”

Completely confused by this point, Ryugu who didn’t want Kai to be offended any further then said, “Please tell me what the problem is, Mr. Kanagawa…”

“Playing dumb? Fine! Since you wish to know so much, I’ll spell it out for you! You told me that Gerald had gone to the military training grounds this morning, remember? Then why the hell wasn’t he there?” growled Kai as he glared at Ryugu.

“You… went over?” replied the surprised Ryugu.

“Did I stutter? Regardless, my subordinates searched for half an hour to no avail! While Fujiko was there, there were no traces of Gerald at all! With that said, are you trying to continue fooling me or something?” sneered Kai.

“… I know for a fact that Gerald participated in the special forces competition together with Fujiko. With that said, he should be there with her. Could he have noticed you before you saw him? That would’ve definitely prompted him to hide till you left!” suggested Ryugu as he scratched the back of his head.
