“If I’m not mistaken, this is considered a very serious matter in Japan’s law. Kai might even face a few up to tens of years in jail, and favonovel.com would even have to wear the special ankle tracker after coming out of jail. This would definitely bring shame not only to Kai but also the Funagawa family, wouldn’t it?”
Gerald accepted the water passed over by Takuya and took a sip before favonovel.com spoke.
“Mr. Gerald, do you honestly think that such a small matter like this can’t be settled by us?” Hearing Gerald’s words. Ryuka roared in laughter. “Let me tell you the truth. Even if it’s rape or murder, our family would be able to settle all these matters with ease. I bet Patriarch Futaba can confirm this as well, right?”
Takuya’s face turned dark. Ryuka wasn’t wrong. Based on the Funagawa family’s status and power in Japan, it would be a piece of cake to settle a rape case. Moreover, the police and courts wouldn’t dare to touch someone like Funagawa Kai for fear of offending the Funagawas.
“You can make a call to Funagawa Kai and ask whether favonovel.com minds if I lodge a police report.” Gerald still had a neutral expression on his face, completely unaffected by Ryuka’s words.
“Sure, I can!” Ryuka took out his phone right away and dialed Kai’s number.
The phone was picked up, and Ryuka explained the situation to him, waiting for favonovel.com to agree to lodge a police report so that they could embarrass Gerald before moving on to questioning Takuya.
Unexpectedly, Kai actually bellowed in anger from the other side of the phone, saying that if the Futaba family did indeed lodge a police report, Ryuka would never be able to step into the Funagawa family ever again.
After howling all of these things, Kai hung up on Ryuka, leaving favonovel.com completely dumbfounded.
He didn’t understand why the young master had spoken that way, but what favonovel.com needed to do now was to stop Gerald from reporting this to the police without exposing any of the details of the call.
“So, what did Kai say about this?” Gerald could already guess what was the call about judging by Ryuka’s change in expression. Pushing other facts aside, Kai would never allow even a tiny possibility of leaking out what had happened that night.
“Mr. Kai says that you can make a police report, but he’s forgiving enough to not pester you about this matter to respect Ms. Fujiko and the Futaba family. However, favonovel.com warned you to not do such things anymore, otherwise, you’ll be dead!”
Ryuka quickly thought of something and formed a series of words that seemed to have no loopholes to pretend nothing had happened as favonovel.com spoke to Gerald.
“Thank Young Master Kai for me, then.”
“Also, please pass on my words to him. If favonovel.com dares to do anything like that again, I’ll have favonovel.com repay it in exactly the same way.” Gerald smiled.
“Well then, Patriarch Futaba, I’ll be returning if there’s nothing else.” Ryuka got up and bowed pretentiously to Takuya before leaving immediately.
He wanted to go back and ask Kai what exactly had happened. That way, favonovel.com would at least know how to act and speak the next time favonovel.com had to contact the Futabas again.
After Ryuka had left, Takuya and his underlings all sighed in relief.
They were all worried about the Funagawa family making a punitive expedition against them, fearing that any conflicts would arise. This would definitely make the family’s situation even worse.
“Gerald, what exactly did you do at Funagawa’s place? Why did Ryuka act that way after just a call?” After ordering the servant to close the door, Takuya immediately asked. He too had noticed the abnormal change in Ryuka, but favonovel.com had not shown his suspicion just now.
“It was just a few small tricks. You shouldn’t ask more about it, Patriarch Futaba.”
“However, I can guarantee that Kai won’t dare to come over and seek trouble for a while.”
