Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2046 It had been nearly a week since he had last seen Yearning Island on the map. Despite the fact that he kept a close eye on the map whenever he was free, the island simply refused to show up again…
As Gerald continued looking at the map, he suddenly heard someone say, “You’ve got some nerve looking for trouble with us…!”
Slipping the sea map back into his pocket, Gerald simply smiled wryly as he left his room…
Upon exiting, he saw Master Ghost and Aiden—who were seated in the living room—staring at the front door, making it quite evident that they had heard the same voice.
Just as Aiden was about to get up, however, Gerald firmly pushed him back into his chair.
“Just stay here. This has nothing to do with you,” replied Gerald in a casual tone as he exited the house and closed the door behind him.
Of course, the owner of the voice was none other than Adler…
“Ironic that you say that we’re looking for trouble when you’re doing the same,” said Gerald as he narrowed his eyes. Ignoring that comment, Adler simply crossed his arms, looking completely unafraid of Gerald as he replied, “You’re Gerald, right? Before coming to Japan, I’ve heard about the incidents that happened in Yanam. There were rumors that you were responsible for my leader’s disappearance, you know. In fact, it was also said that you were the one who killed so many of those men in the military! With that in mind, it’s my duty to not let you leave this place alive…!”
“It appears that you know little about me. I’Il say it now that my issues with Yanam have been resolved, and I see no reason to cause any trouble. With that in mind, leave now and I’ll pretend this
conversation never happened. How about it?” said Gerald with a subtle smile before pointing to the side, clearly indicating for Adler to leave.
“Cut the cr*p! You’re coming back to Yanam with me now!” growled Adler as he reached out to grab Gerald’s collar.
However, before he could even do so, Gerald quickly smacked the back of Adler’s hand! Due to how rapid Gerald’s counterattack had been, Adler was only able to register what had happened when he felt the searing pain in his hand!
“M-My hand…!” hissed Adler as he desperately tried to keep his voice down.
Looking at his swollen hand, it was already as red as a beet. It was barely an exaggeration that his hand felt like it had just been smashed by a hammer! With such immense pain, for a moment, he couldn’t even feel his fingers…
Whatever the case was, Gerald—who was now frowning—then said, “I’m giving you one final chance. Get the hell out of my sight.”
Honestly, had it not been for the fact that he didn’t want to cause any unnecessary issues for Aiden— from the other special forces from overseas—, he would’ve gotten rid of Adler the second he came looking for trouble.
“Tell me where my leader is…!” retorted Adler as he drew out an army dagger after realizing that Gerald hadn’t injured him too seriously.
After thinking about it for a while, Gerald then said, “No idea. He’s probably in some forest.”
Enraged, Adler then lifted his dagger, aiming it at Gerald’s heart as he yelled, “To hell with you!”
Gerald didn’t move an inch as the dagger came diving straight for his chest! Adler himself smiled wickedly as he felt the dagger collide against Gerald… before it stopped.
Eyes widening, Adler’s immediate thought was that something must have been placed on Gerald’s chest to prevent the dagger from stabbing though. With that in mind, he increased the force of his thrust, figuring that whatever the armor was, it would eventually get pierced through.
However, no matter how much force he applied, the dagger simply wouldn’t budge…!
“Are you done?” replied Gerald with a slight frown.
While he was previously still worried about negatively affecting Aiden’s performance in the competition, Adler was courting death a bit too much by this point…
