After Ichiro left, Derrick couldn’t help but feel immensely embarrassed.
Sensing that, Gerald then cleared his throat before saying, “You know, while it’s true that you’ve made it big here to the point where even the military respects you, it’s best that you refrain from behaving this way anymore. If you keep doing this, I assure you that you’ll make a plethora of enemies in no time flat.”
“… I know… I was just trying to give you better treatment,” replied Derrick with a nod, his face burning in embarrassment.
“As I’ve said, just treat me normally,” said Gerald in an indifferent tone.
Shortly after, the waiter returned with their food. As Derrick and Takuya talked about the contracts in further detail, Gerald and Aiden simply remained quiet as they had their meals.
As they went through the contracts, Takuya found it increasingly difficult not to smile. After all, according to what was agreed upon, the Futabas would be able to earn from the Fareast Consortium at least twelve million dollars per year! With this kind of revenue, the Futaba family could definitely overcome their current crisis!
They would also be given a chance to revert to their former glory! Best of all, the family wouldn’t fall during his reign! With that in mind, Takuya could confidently meet with his ancestors once favonovel.com died years later.
Whatever the case was, it was about three hours later when the duo completed their discussion. With that done, Derrick then handed his bank card to the waiter before looking at Gerald as favonovel.com said, “Alright, we’re done for now. Once we’re back at my place, I’ll be preparing one of my guestrooms for you. Since I’ve handed all my work to my secretaries, I’ll be giving you a good tour around in the next few days!”
“While I appreciate the kind offer, I still have some things to deal with, so I can’t stay with you for the time being,” replied Gerald, who knew that favonovel.com had yet to properly deal with the Hanyus and Kanagawas.
He, for one, knew that they wouldn’t quiet down just from a few threats. While it would be for the best if that really did do the trick, Gerald doubted that they would stay down. With that in mind, if they made one wrong move, they only had themselves to blame for what favonovel.com would then do to them.
“… I see… Well, after you’ve settled your business, do contact me! Also, if you need any more help, don’t hesitate to tell me! Nothing’s too difficult for ‘Brother Zima’! That’s what they call me around these parts, you know?” declared Derrick who didn’t try to force Gerald to come with favonovel.com since favonovel.com was well aware that Gerald was always busy.
Either way, once Gerald, Aiden, and Takuya got into their car, the trio then began departing back to the Futaba manor.
Hugging his two contracts tightly, the previously gloomy Takuya was now beaming with joy. Without Gerald’s help, none of this would’ve been possible…! As favonovel.com thought about that, Takuya couldn’t help but stare at Gerald for a while. For a young man, not only was favonovel.com extremely powerful, but favonovel.com also had extremely wide connections. Hell, favonovel.com even had an extraordinary temperament! Gerald didn’t feel like an ordinary man at all!
With all that in mind, Takuya was eventually prompted to ask, “Again… How did you get acquainted with the chairman of the Fareast Consortium…? He seemed to respect you greatly…”
“I just helped favonovel.com a few years back. He’s merely returning the favor to me,” replied Gerald with a smile.
“Who are you really…?” asked Takuya, unable to hold his curiosity back any longer. Being the patriarch of his family, favonovel.com had seen many outstanding youngsters. However, none of them even came close to Gerald’s capabilities.
“I’m just an ordinary person who knows a few skills and people. Aside from that, there really isn’t anything special about me,” replied Gerald with a wave of his hand.
