The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2151

With how confident Vulture sounded, Kai was sure that Gerald would definitely be murdered this time…!

After looking at Gerald’s picture for a while and memorizing it, Vulture couldn’t help but feel that Gerald looked slightly familiar. While he couldn’t tell why that was, he made sure to hide his curiosity by asking, “Regardless, while I can definitely finish him off, about the commission…”

Hearing that, Kai gestured at one of his men before saying, “Bring it over.”

Nodding in response, the subordinate then disappeared into another room before quickly returning with a suitcase…

Watching as his subordinate opened it before Vulture, Kai then crossed his legs before adding, “There’s two million dollars in there. If you kill Gerald within three days, I’ll transfer five million more dollars into your bank account as the rest of your commission. If it extends past three days, however, I’ll have to lower it to four million dollars instead. Even so, I believe you’ll need a week at most to take him out. What do you say?”

“Fine by me,” replied Vulture. After all, he was being given seven million dollars when the target wasn’t even a tycoon or senior government official! As long as he planned right and did everything correctly, this mission was going to be a cinch!

“Very well, then! Your task begins tomorrow morning! Speaking of which, feel free to rest here in the next few days, sir. Those two women will naturally remain here for your pleasure. However, if you don’t think they’re enough, feel free to ask for more! As long as you’re able to kill Gerald within the allocated time, I’ll grant you anything!” declared Kai with a smile.

Following that, Vulture watched as Kai and his subordinates left the villa. Once they were gone, he took a sip of water before returning to his room…

As for Kai and his men, after getting into their car, one of his subordinates couldn’t help but ask, “Where to now, Mr. Kanagawa…?”

“To the entertainment company. They organized a selection event recently, right? Let’s see if there are any beauties around! It’s high time we celebrated!” replied Kai delightedly. Since Gerald was now as good as dead to him, Kai was so elated that he honestly wanted to have a car race just to show how overjoyed he was.

“Got it!” replied his subordinate with a nod before driving the car toward the Kanagawa’s entertainment company…

As for Gerald, he naturally had no idea about any of this. Regardless, after a good night’s rest, the energized youth decided to walk around the training grounds alone while Aiden and Fujiko headed off to participate in more competitions.

Naturally, he wasn’t doing this just to have a stroll. The truth was, Gerald wanted to locate the Crawford cultivator from before.

After all, before hitting the hay the night before, he had momentarily sensed that person’s presence. From what he could tell, the person was either within the training ground or somewhere near it. Since this was an urban area, there were numerous hotels for that cultivator to hide in.

While Gerald wasn’t really afraid of that person, he was worried that trouble could brew if he allowed the cultivator to do as he pleased. Gerald, for one, didn’t want those close to him to get affected by that.

As he was walking around, Gerald bumped into Ichiro who was quick to jog over before asking, “Oh? What are you doing here, Mr. Crawford?”

“I’m just taking a stroll,” replied Gerald with a faint smile.

“If you don’t mind, could we talk for a bit, Mr. Crawford?” asked Ichiro as he heaved a sigh. Ichiro, for one, couldn’t talk to his colleagues about some things and he didn’t have any close friends nearby. With that in mind, he figured that Gerald would be the perfect listener.

“Sure. I don’t mind,” replied Gerald with a nod, figuring that he could possibly learn more clues about the person who had murdered the Yanam special forces soldier. What more, this was his chance to see if the Japanese military had managed to figure out that he was Adler’s murderer.

“I’m glad you agreed! Please, follow me. You know, my family mailed some good tea to me recently, I’ll let you try some,” said Ichiro with a smile.

Following that, the duo soon found themselves walking into Ichiro’s office. Upon entering, Ichiro immediately told his secretary to get some tea ready before gesturing for Gerald to take a seat

“The problems keep stacking up, Mr. Crawford… If I’m to be honest, I don’t even know where I should start investigating! But if I don’t start getting results, I may not even be able to keep my job! ” muttered Ichiro in resignation.

“You’re telling me. There truly has been quite a bit going on around the Japanese training grounds recently Still, haven’t you managed to obtain other clues about the two murders since the last time we talked?” asked Gerald with a nod.

“Nothing with Adler’s case… To think that we haven’t been able to find anything even after half a month has passed! There just doesn’t seem to be any traces of the man left! I truly think that Adler’s disappearance is an unsolvable case… As for the other person, we’ve found his corpse and sent it back to Yanam. While we’re currently doing a thorough investigation based on the clues the murderer left behind, we don’t know if we’ll be able to sniff him out in the end…” explained Ichiro.

Ichiro was only speaking this casually about all this since he knew that Gerald wasn’t part of the military. He was also pretty sure that Gerald wasn’t involved with either of the cases, which was why he didn’t mind sharing all these details to let off some steam.

“I see… For your sake, I hope you’ll be able to find the culprit soon…” replied Gerald with a nod.

“Thank you… You know, the colonel told me that if I continue failing to uncover these two cases, not only will the colonel be fired, but I’ll be forced to resign as well. You can tell that they’re serious just by how many Japanese military soldiers are standing guard over the training grounds now. After all, a third case would be disastrous… I’ll be frank and say that I’m thankful that the only victims are those from Yanam. It means that we only need to compensate Yanam with gifts or something else. If the cases involved someone from Weston, the Western Union, or any of the European countries, we’d truly be in hot water! ” said Ichiro as he shook his head with a sigh, clearly vexed out of his mind.

As Ichiro’s secretary returned with some tea prompting Ichiro to hand a glass over to Gerald, Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “Indeed… Speaking of which, there’s a lot of hotels nearby, right? Since you have the murderer’s height and general body description, maybe you could find him within the hotels in the area. Just a thought…”

Naturally, Gerald was only suggesting this since he was planning to do so himself in the first place. However, Ichiro simply replied, “I’ve already done that to no avail Hell, we did it the day after the incident, but there simply were no traces of our culprit. I suspect he must have immediately fled after doing the deed…”

Frowning slightly, Gerald was prompted to ask, “… Are you absolutely sure…?”

While he initially had his doubts that the person was a Crawford cultivator, after what Ichiro had just told him, it seemed that the culprit really was a cultivator…

However, the fact that the Japanese Military hadn’t been able to locate him even though Gerald had clearly sensed that person’s presence the night before was puzzling, to say the least.

“Of course, I am! Don’t worry, the investigation isn’t anything confidential so there’s no reason for me to lie,” replied Ichiro as he waved his hand.

“Indeed… Well, I wish you luck with your investigations! Do tell me if you require any help. I don’t mind since I feel we get along well,” said Gerald with a subtle smile.

“… Do… Do you really mean that, Mr. Crawford?” asked Ichiro after momentarily freezing.

“What reason would I have to lie?” replied Gerald with a chuckle.

“That… That’s wonderful! With how strong you are, the culprit will definitely be caught in no time!” exclaimed Ichiro rather excitedly. Ichiro, for one, knew that Gerald alone had caused quite a mess within the Yanam Military, and only someone exceedingly strong could achieve such a feat.

“You flatter me. Regardless, I’ll stick to my word,” replied Gerald as he stuck his hand out for a handshake, knowing full well that he was only doing this in hopes of easing his search for the Crawford cultivator.

What more, with the Japanese military’s investigation team involved, the culprit couldn’t just reveal his cultivator abilities, thus forcing him to take on Gerald with only his martial arts skills.

Regardless, once Ichiro calmed down a little, he couldn’t help but ask, “…Come to think of it, what benefit do you get from all this, Mr. Crawford…? After all, you’ll only be wasting time and energy by helping us…”

Chuckling in response, Gerald thought up an excuse on the spot before replying, “As I’ve said, I just feel that we get along well. Besides, though Aiden’s busy with the competition, I don’t have anything better to do.”

“I see… Well, whatever the case is, please accept my thanks on behalf of the military investigation team! If you manage to capture the culprit, I’ll surely ask my military superior to record your merits!” said Ichiro as he returned Gerald’s handshake. Since Gerald was willing to lend his aid at his lowest, Ichiro now saw Gerald as a good friend.
