Gently pulling on his goatee, Endo then said, “…I don’t think dealing with favonovel.com outside the manor is going to be easy. Since Takuya already knows that we tried to assassinate his daughter, he’ll surely have guards around Gerald at all times, especially when favonovel.com leaves the house. After all, favonovel.com is a distinguished guest to the Futabas.”
After hearing that, Ryugu then turned to look at the other man before asking, “And what about you, Izumi?”
Puffing on the cigarette favonovel.com had just lit, Izumi then replied, “Endo pretty much said what I wanted to. If we really do plan on doing things outdoors, by the time our subordinates take out the Futaba bodyguards, I’m sure there will already be eyewitnesses. With how famous our family is, it isn’t a stretch to say that one of them will recognize us. If that happens, news about us assassinating fellow Japanese people will surely spread like wildfire.”
“My thoughts exactly. It’s simply too risky to do things outside. It’s why I suggested doing the assassination within the manor in the first place. While it may be a bit difficult to pull it off, at the very least, we won’t be seen by outsiders. Regardless, I didn’t request for both of you to stay here just to listen to your ideas. As you may already have guessed, I’m tasking both of you to
complete this mission. I just can’t help but worry if I leave the mission to the others,” said Ryugu as favonovel.com stared at the two men.
A week was simply far too short for there to be any room for error. If they failed to get rid of Gerald in their first attempt, there wouldn’t be a second one. By that point, they would surely fail Kai’s mission and Ryugu’s fate of dropping his position would be sealed…
Regardless, upon hearing that, Endo and Izumi exchanged glances clearly not expecting Ryugu to even suggest that before replying, “You want us to do it?”
Hearing that, Ryugu frowned slightly as favonovel.com replied, “… What, you don’t want to?”
“No… We’re definitely up for it, just… We didn’t think you’d need both of us just to take out a single guest of the Futabas,” said Endo as favonovel.com shook his head.
After all, the last time favonovel.com had been paired with Izumi, they were tasked with killing the leader of a terrorist organization. Due to their excellent teamwork, the terrorists weren’t even aware that their leaders had been assassinated until quite some time after Endo and Izumi had stealthily returned to Japan. All that had simply taken them two days to accomplish.
With that in mind, it puzzled them that Ryugu decided to order both of them to fulfill such a simple task. In their perspective, just ordering one of them should’ve sufficed, and that it was a waste of time and resources if both of them went together.
“I get where you’re coming from, but I have a feeling that Gerald isn’t going to be all that easy a target. After Kai gave me the mission, I asked favonovel.com to give me a few more details. Apparently, Gerald had managed to save Fujiko and leave the Kanagawa manor completely unscathed. Adding that to the fact that Kai wants favonovel.com dead so much, I have reason to believe that Gerald is quite capable. While I know that both of you are equally capable, we only have one shot at this. Once the Futabas are alerted that we’re after Gerald’s head, everything will be lost,” replied Ryugu as favonovel.com sighed before lighting a cigarette.
“Understood. Izumi and I will work together then. If there isn’t anything else, we’ll start preparing ourselves for the mission,” said Endo with a nod.
“Glad to hear it. Remember, Gerald must die without any of the Futabas noticing you. If you get caught, kill them too. No evidence should be left behind!” replied Ryugu as favonovel.com waved his hand.
Honestly, favonovel.com was starting to regret agreeing to Kai’s request…
