Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2043
After hearing what Gerald had to say, Aiden’s expression momentarily stiffened before he replied, “But… we don’t
even know which area of Japan they’re in! Aren’t we essentially just on a wild goose chase?”
“Unfortunately, we are,” replied Gerald with a sigh.
“Regardless, there’s really no rush. I’m sure we’ll find the Seadom tribe sooner or later,” said Master Ghost.
“Indeed. Speaking of which, what’s up with that special forces competition of yours? Let’s start investigating from
there. It’s better than staying cooped up in this room anyway,” asked Gerald as he looked at Aiden.
“Well, according to my force’s leader, it’s really just an ordinary competition that selects the most powerful people
from each country’s special forces to eventually compete in Japan. While it’s not a standard competition, there’s
honestly not much honor to be gained by participating. Still, itis an international competition, so emphasis still needs
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto be placed on it,” explained Aiden.
“I see… Well, it wouldn’t hurt to go have a look at it, right?” replied Gerald.
“We may as well since we don’t really know where to start looking anyway. Still, since it’s being held in Japan, I’m
sure most of the participants will be influential and powerful… With that in mind, we could possibly gain more clues
about the Seadom tribe from them,” added Master Ghost.
“Then it’s settled, I suppose! ’ll go contact the organizer!” said Aiden as he fished his phone out to make a call.
Though the call itself was short, Aiden successfully got the organizer to send a car over—to their hotel—to pick
them up. The organizer didn’t seem to mind Gerald and Master Ghost coming along either.
Either way, it was about half an hour later when a few men from the Japanese military came over to pick them up.
After checking out, the trio then headed to the competition’s venue…
The competition itself wasn’t being held in the Japanese military’s headquarters, but instead, on a training ground.
Regardless, upon arriving, the trio saw that several of the houses were constructed with composite boards, a clear
sign that they were temporary structures for the special forces to live in. Aside from that, it was also noteworthy
that many people were already there. As it turned out, though the competition was still half a month away, many of
the participants had arrived in advance to practice and get themselves used to the environment in hopes that it
would contribute to getting them the win. After all, who wouldn’t want to do their countries proud?
Regardless, the person in charge eventually stopped before one of the houses. Getting out of the car, he then
pointed at the house while handing Aiden a key before saying, “That’s the place. Since you’re the special forces
from Weston, you’ll be staying here for now.”
Upon receiving the key, Aiden couldn’t help but widen his eyes. After all, if it wasn’t for the fact that he had been
told that this was the Japanese soldiers’ training grounds, he would’ve surely assumed that the entire area was just
a construction zone! With how shabby the houses looked, it almost felt like they would topple the second strong
winds blew!

With that in mind, once the person in charge left the scene, Aiden turned to look at Gerald before apologetically
saying, “…Had I known the living conditions would be this poor here, we should’ve just remained in the hotel…”
“Well, since we’re here anyway, let’s just take it easy. Besides, living here for half a month won’t kill us,” replied
Gerald as he took the key from Aiden and opened the door…
Though the house was only meant to be lived in temporarily, it was by no means small. In total, there was a living
room, three bedrooms, a washroom, and a dining room…
Either way, once they were done unpacking, Gerald looked out the window to see what the situation was like
outside…
Shortly after, Aiden entered Gerald’s room before saying, “It’s almost noon, Gerald. Are you hungry? I’m about to
ask for some food, myself!”
“Go ahead,” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.
Once Aiden left, Gerald fished out the sea map from his pocket… As expected, Yearning Island had disappeared
from the map… Aside from that, the island where the Seadom Tribe held their sacrificial ritual was nowhere to be
seen as well…
