Upon hearing all that noise, a few of Ryugu’s men instantly burst through the door and asked, “Team leader! What’s wrong?!”
“… Everything’s fine. Regardless, call over all the leaders of the secondary assassination teams immediately. There’s something important I’d like to discuss with them. Also, tell them to bring along any clues they’ve found regarding the Futabas! ” ordered Ryugu as favonovel.com shook his head with a sigh.
There was no way favonovel.com was going to risk lowering his image by sharing his bad position with his subordinates. It was the reason why favonovel.com had made sure to put up a leader like facade while ordering his men.
Whatever the case was, after exchanging glances with each other, his men then nodded before yelling, “Loud and clear!”
It was about ten minutes later when eight new faces could be seen gathered in Ryugu’s room. These men were the leaders of the secondary assassination teams, and they operated under the orders of Ryugu.
After looking at them for a while, Ryugu detailed them on Kai’s conditions. As favonovel.com was doing so, however, favonovel.com couldn’t help but notice that several of the leaders occasionally lowered their heads to whisper among themselves…
Annoyed that his subordinates were talking bad about favonovel.com right in front of his face, Ryugu eventually growled, “If there’s anything you’d like to say, say it to my face!”
“… With all due respect, team leader, we’re only discussing the mission.”
“He’s right, team leader. Remember how Saburo failed to kill Fujiko back then? Don’t you think that the Futabas will be much more vigilant about us now…? With that in mind, there’s no way we would be able to assassinate favonovel.com without being found out! ”
“Indeed! Why don’t we wait till things deescalate a bit…? I suggest that we talk about this mission once more when things have calmed down!”
Not daring to whisper anymore, the group of men immediately revealed what they had been discussing. Still, though they each said it slightly differently, the contents of their conversation were more or less the same, that being the fact that they couldn’t just deal with the Futabas right off the bat after Saburo failed to assassinate Fujiko.
While it was true that the current Futabas weren’t as strong as they used to be, they were still considerably better off compared to other families. With that in mind, if the Hanyus launched another assassination mission so soon and the Futabas noticed, that family would surely be compelled to spread the news about their assassination attempt to the other families in Japan. If things got to that point, there was a high chance that the Hanyus would get taken out overnight!
After all, the only reason why the Hanyus had been able to operate in Japan for hundreds of years was because they mainly dealt with assassination attempts overseas. If word got out that they had attempted to assassinate a fellow Japanese citizen, any initial tolerance from the other Japanese families would surely be thrown out the window. After all, if they dared to assassinate a Futaba, who’s to say that the Hanyus wouldn’t assassinate them next?
With that in mind, the possibility of several families working together to take them down was very real. By that point, none of the Hanyus would be able to escape judgment…
“… Do all of you seriously think that I hadn’t put that into consideration before calling you over?!” growled Ryugu as favonovel.com clenched his fists.
While favonovel.com certainly agreed with them, favonovel.com only had seven days to get rid of Gerald… Aside from that, favonovel.com only had half a month to locate the man who had thwarted Saburo’s assassination attempt… There really was no time for favonovel.com to be idle…
