Watching as the duo walked off, Gerald then stretched before taking in a deep breath of fresh air…
A short while later, Gerald began making his way to Takuya’s room. On his way the re, however, favonovel.com bumped into one of Takuya’s most trusted subordinates. Seeing that, favonovel.com figured that favonovel.com may as well ask if Takuya was in his room before actually getting there. Upon being told that Takuya was still interrogating the duo from the night before, Gerald asked for the interrogation room’s location before promptly walking off…
Making his way to the back of the manor, Gerald eventually came across a stone entrance that led to an area that was clearly constructed differently from the rest of the main building.
While the front part of the manor including the villas there as well as the Futaba’s magnificent garden looked absolutely lavish, anything past the stone entrance honestly looked desolate. With some of the weeds here growing as tall as humans and a few easily missed single story houses further back, it felt like nobody had lived in or even taken care of the area for over a decade…
Regardless, while walking along a beaten path, Gerald soon came across three of the Futaba family’s subordinates who immediately greeted, “Mr. Crawford!”
Peeking past them, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Is the patriarch in one of those houses?”
“Indeed! He’s been interrogating the two assassins throughout the night… Regardless, have you eaten, Mr. Crawford? We were just about to get some breakfast for the patriarch!” said one of the guards.
“I see. Get some for me, then,” replied Gerald with a nod before walking past them…
After walking among the tall grass for a while, Gerald soon heard muffled screams coming from one of the houses. Easily figuring out where the noises were coming from, Gerald then entered the house before saying, “Patriarch?”
“Hmm? What are you doing here, Mr. Crawford?” asked Takuya who had been sitting before a table with a cigarette in hand as favonovel.com immediately got to his feet.
“I just wanted to see how the interrogation was progressing,” replied Gerald who had noticed a cup of tea on Takuya’s table as favonovel.com took a seat before looking around…
Though Takuya had said that favonovel.com was doing an interrogation, the entire place honestly looked more like an execution room… The fact that there were instruments of torture everywhere and the two bloodied assassins had been tied to a cross only served to further contribute to that statement…
Frowning slightly, Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “… Aren’t you afraid that you’ll end up killing them…?”
“Oh, I’ve taken precautionary measures. After curing them at my clinic last night, my family’s doctor has been checking their vital signs every half an hour. I’ve been intensifying and reducing the torture according to what the doctor reported to me throughout the night.
Don’t worry, I’m not letting them die until they tell us the crucial details,” replied Takuya with a faint smile while gesturing at a middle aged man who was wearing a white coat.
Figuring that that was the doctor, Gerald chose to not say anything else. A brief silence later, Takuya slid a piece of paper before Gerald…
Raising a slight brow, Gerald began reading through it and quickly realized that it contained a log of all that the assassins had said that night. However, as it turned out, they had only revealed how they had managed to sneak into the manor as well as how long they had waited before striking. In other words, none of the extracted information was useful.
With that in mind, Gerald couldn’t help but frown as favonovel.com asked, “… Is this all?”
