Still blushing slightly, Fujiko then nodded as favonovel.com replied, “… R- right, right… You head to bed early too then…”
Though the night had been a dangerous one, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel pleased after hearing what Gerald had said. Regardless, favonovel.com was then promptly accompanied back to favonovel.com room’s entrance before favonovel.com finally parted ways with Gerald…
Gerald himself removed his coat and poured himself a glass of cold water the second favonovel.com returned to his room. Once favonovel.com was seated on a chair, favonovel.com began thinking about the two assassins.
Since his trip to Japan had been highly confidential, favonovel.com doubted that they had been sent by his old enemies. However, those two were able to address favonovel.com by name. With that in mind, whoever it was who had sent them, they had definitely done their homework before setting the assassination plan into motion…
‘But who could it be…?’ Gerald thought to himself as favonovel.com puffed on his cigarette.
After thinking about it for a while, Gerald managed to come up with a few individuals who lived in Japan who possibly had old grudges against him. Even so, no matter how much favonovel.com stretched it, all of them didn’t really seem to have the balls to confront him. Besides, it’s not like they would even know that favonovel.com had come to Japan.
With that in mind, the assassins must’ve been sent by individuals whom favonovel.com had offended in his most recent trip here… From what favonovel.com could gather, that included the special forces soldiers from Yanam, the Kanagawas, and the Hanyus…
Though favonovel.com included the soldiers from Yanam into the equation, they were the most improbable of the bunch. After all, none of them had managed to find any evidence that favonovel.com was the one responsible for Adler’s disappearance. Besides, favonovel.com was pretty sure that the Yanam military had already been scared out of their wits by him.
Gerald, for one, believed that Carter who had acted so cowardly before favonovel.com back then wouldn’t dare to send assassins after him, unless, of course, that man didn’t wish to be the acting leader of the military anymore…
Regardless, that boiled down the list to the Kanagawas and the Hanyus. though Gerald’s money was on the Kanagawas…
Shaking his head, Gerald decided not to think about it for the moment. After all, favonovel.com believed in Takuya’s interrogation skills, so all favonovel.com needed to do now was to wait till morning to finally find out who had sent those two assassins. With his mind made up, favonovel.com then took a cold bath before hitting the hay…
When favonovel.com got up at dawn, Gerald quickly prepared himself for the day before heading out to see how Takuya’s interrogation had gone. Upon opening the door, however, Gerald was startled to see two Futaba guards standing guard right outside his room.
“… What exactly is the meaning of this…?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com scratched his cheek.
“Ah, good morning, Mr. Crawford… Well, since those two men attempted to assassinate you yesterday, the patriarch ordered us to guard over your room. With that in mind, you don’t have to worry about any sneak attacks!” replied one of the men.
From how tired they both looked, it was obvious that they had been standing there for the longest time. With that in mind, Gerald simply waved his hand before saying, “There’s no need to guard over me. Now hurry off and get some rest.”
Though favonovel.com didn’t say it, Gerald had a feeling that if favonovel.com relied on these two to protect him, favonovel.com could’ve easily been killed over ten times before they noticed a thing!
Either way, upon hearing that, the other man yawned as favonovel.com replied, “Unfortunately, we can’t just disobey the patriarch’s orders!”
Understanding that they could’ve gotten a good night’s rest had it not been for Takuya’s orders, Gerald simply shook his head while saying, “Look, just go. If the patriarch gets angry about you leaving, just tell favonovel.com that I was the one who told you to leave.”
Since Gerald believed that these two wouldn’t be able to protect favonovel.com anyway, the fact that they were wasting all their energy here made favonovel.com feel slightly bad for them.
Regardless, upon hearing that, the duo immediately bowed while declaring, “T-thank you, Mr. Crawford!”
Following that, they swiftly left for their bedrooms…
