Though the SUV was already speeding at a hundred and sixty, Gerald looked as cool as a cucumber as favonovel.com casually drummed his fingers on the steering wheel…
Fujiko, on the other hand, couldn’t help but stare wide eyed at Gerald before eventually asking, “… Who the hell are you…?”
“I’m just an ordinary man. I’ve told you that many times before, haven’t I?” replied Gerald with a smile.
“No ordinary man would be able to say they ‘sensed the presence of at least ten weak men lurking in the shadows’… How do you even gauge a person’s strength without seeing them first?” muttered Fujiko.
“… It was just a gut feeling,” replied Gerald, now realizing that favonovel.com may have said a bit too much.
Naturally, there was no way favonovel.com could tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com had sensed those men and how strong they were through the use of his Herculean Primordial Spirit. With the Herculean Primordial Spirit inside him, there was simply no hiding from Gerald, regardless of how stealthy one was or how good they were at acting…
Whatever the case was, Fujiko naturally didn’t buy it, prompting favonovel.com to say, “… The truth, please.”
“… Again, it was just a gut feeling… Regardless, I feel we should focus on getting rid of those people first… After all, you wouldn’t want to lead them all the way to the competition venue, right?” replied Gerald, clearly trying to change the topic.
“ …Of course, I wouldn’t. Those people will surely cause chaos if we lead them there! Should that happen, not only will I get punished, but the Japanese military will be humiliated as well!” declared Fujiko in a determined tone as favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head. She, for one, didn’t want to bring favonovel.com family’s troubles to the military…
“Well said. Next question, do you want to lose them or just kill them?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com placed his hand on the gear shift.
“End them!” exclaimed Fujiko without the slightest hesitation. After all, if they failed to lose them, then they’d surely make it to the competition venue, causing favonovel.com reputation to plummet. Killing them right off the bat was the only way to prevent that!
“Kill them it is,” replied Gerald with a slight nod.
“If it helps, there’s a deserted, extinct volcano nearby that used to be active. In case you’re worried, extinct volcanoes aren’t expected to ever erupt again. Regardless, why don’t we do the deed there?” asked Fujiko as favonovel.com fished out a map of Japan from the storage area in the SUV before eventually pointing at a spot to Gerald.
After glancing at the map and looking at the mountain that was quite a distance away, Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “Is that it?”
Following Gerald’s line of vision, Fujiko then nodded as favonovel.com replied, “Yep, that’s the one.”
“Seems like the perfect place to murder someone,” muttered Gerald as favonovel.com slowed down the car… before swerving it off the highway and into a path that led to a village! Once favonovel.com was on the path, favonovel.com immediately sped up again, causing the SUV to disappear amongst the single story houses that were all over the place…
Meanwhile, the assassins that had been tailing the duo instantly noticed Gerald’s sudden route change, prompting them to immediately change course as well. Naturally, they also reported this to Takeshi who was currently in Ryugu’s car. However, since each of the Hanyu family’s cars had a tracking system installed, Ryugu already knew where the assassins that were
tailing Gerald were, even before they reported back.
What Ryugu found shocking, however, was the fact that Gerald was actually going off course. Immediately clicking on the car’s central control panel twice prompting a map of the area to appear, Ryugu then grumbled, “This isn’t right. Where the hell are they going?”
