Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2067 “Why, I’m here for dinner, of course! Regardless, it seems that you have quite a feast prepared, but where’s the wine? Doesn’ t your family have any good wine?” replied Gerald as he sat at the dining table and began eating before Kai could even say a word.
Seeing that, one of Kai’s henchmen inched closer to Kai before whispering, “Young master, should I…?”
“… Just resume whatever the hell you were doing…” grumbled Kai as he suppressed his anger. Fujiko’s arrival was going to be a joyous occasion for him, and he didn’t want to be left angry just because of this b*stard. What more, he didn’t want Fujiko to see his brutal side just yet.
Whatever the case was, though Gerald clearly heard their conversation, he simply pretended not to hear a word and resumed eating…
Shortly after, Fujiko arrived with the henchmen from before. Though she had dreaded having to be together alone with Kai again, she instantly smiled when she saw Gerald seated at the table. With that, she quickly sat beside him, immediately causing Kai’s expression to sour.
“… Fujiko, why don’t you sit by my side instead?” asked Kai as he actively held back his dissatisfaction.
“…I wish to sit here. We’re just having dinner, no? I should be allowed to sit wherever I want,” replied Fujiko who honestly still hoped to get closer to Gerald, even though she knew she was going to become Kai’s wife in the end. Even if it was just the span of a short meal, she wanted to spend as much time as possible by Gerald’s side…
Before Kai could retort, Gerald took a sip of wine that one of the butlers had handed him before smiling as he turned to look at Kai and asked, “Speaking of which, I’ve heard plenty of rumors about you upon arriving in Japan… I wonder if those are true…?”
“Please refrain from believing those false accusations, Mr. Crawford. I’m the young master of the Kanagawa family, one of the most powerful families in Japan! There’s simply no way those rumors are true!” grumbled Kai as his expression momentarily darkened.
However, he quickly put up a happy façade again, though anyone with the slightest insight would be able to tell that his smile was filled to the brim with murderous intent…
To think that Gerald would dare to embarrass him in front of Fujiko… This man was really courting death…!
Hearing that, Fujiko smiled subtly as she turned to look at Kai before saying, “Oh? They’re all fake news?”
“But of course they are, Miss Fujiko! I’m sure you wouldn’t believe such baseless rumors, right…? After all, I am the young master of the Kanagawa family! There’s no way I’d do those things!” mumbled Kai as he clenched his fists to hold back his anger.
That bstard… He hadn’t even provoked Gerald, yet that bstard took the initiative to trouble him! This was the last straw! Once he and Fujiko left after dinner, he was going to have his men finish Gerald off incognito!
“Please refrain from slandering our young master so casually, Mr. Crawford. Any more and there may be consequences to bear! ” threatened Kai’s men who could already tell what Kai was feeling.
“Why so serious? It was just a rumor I heard… Regardless, of course I believe in him!” replied Gerald as he waved his hand with a smile.
“That had better be the case… Otherwise, you may not be able to leave the Kanagawa family manor…” growled Kai as he squinted his eyes, now keener than ever to finish Gerald off.
Laughing in response, Gerald who could easily tell what Kai was thinking simply said, “Alright, alright, the food’s getting cold! Let’s eat already!”
Naturally, dinner was as awkward as one would expect. Kai, for one, was already feeling a burning sensation in his stomach, a side effect of the drug he had earlier taken.
