“Get the physical map out! ” ordered Ryugu the second favonovel.com hung up.
Immediately doing as Ryugu ordered, Takeshi then retrieved the map and unrolled it before him…
Alternating his gaze between the car navigation screen and the physical map, Ryugu traced the route that Gerald had taken… before his finger finally stopped atop the barren mountain. According to the GPS, the two cars truly had entered the Yamashita family’s territory!
“D*mn it! What the hell is Gerald doing in the Yamashita family’s territory?! What kind of relationship does favonovel.com have with them?!” grumbled Ryugu as favonovel.com slammed his fist into his seat.
“… Leader… Do you think… that the man who thwarted Saburo’s assassination plan could be a ninja from the Yamashita family…?” speculated Takeshi.
“… A possibility certainly exists… However, I’ve never really met any of the ninjas from that family… Hell, I’ve never even heard of any connections between the Futabas and the Yamashitas! ” replied Ryugu as favonovel.com scratched the back of his head, wondering how things had suddenly gotten so complicated…
Pretty much every powerful family in Japan knew about the Yamashita’s ninjas. However, since nobody had ever seen any of their ninjas, there were rumors that the ninjas were only the stuff of legends and weren’t actually real…
Regardless, after a brief pause, Takeshi then added, “So should we continue with our mission…? Or should I order our men to retreat…?”
“… We’ve already cornered them well. We shouldn’t let an opportunity like this go to waste! Besides, it’s not like we’re targeting the Yamashitas. If we bump into them, we’ll just make sure to explain things properly. With the Hanyu family’s status in mind, the Yamashitas should be willing to give us face…” retorted Ryugu as favonovel.com glared at Takeshi.
With that said, Ryugu then continued driving to where Gerald was. While favonovel.com would’ve surely postponed the mission for fear of offending the Yamashitas in the past, the current Ryugu was in a desperate situation. After all, two of the Hanyu family’s top assassins had gone missing while attempting to assassinate Gerald! With that in mind, favonovel.com had to interrogate Gerald as soon as possible to learn about Endo and Izumi’s situation. Otherwise, he’d be unable to explain himself to the patriarch…
Ryugu, for one, knew that if favonovel.com failed to get any information out of Gerald, losing his position as leader was a small price to pay… After all, there was a much higher chance that favonovel.com would have to pay with his life instead…!
Moving back to Fujiko, favonovel.com could be seen obediently waiting in the car as Gerald who was standing right next to the SUV stared at the two cars that still hadn’t budged.
After puffing most of the cigarette away, Gerald tossed the butt away before saying in a cold voice, “You know, with how long you’ve been tailing us, don’t you find it to be a bit impolite to not even get out of your cars to talk?”
The second Gerald said that, eight men each wielding either a dagger or a steel pipe got out of the cars. However, they didn’t rush forward. Instead, they simply glared at Gerald from afar…
Though they hadn’t fought favonovel.com before, they had all heard rumors that Gerald had defeated Endo and Izumi. With that in mind, they all knew there was a high possibility that they would die if they simply charged forward!
Adding that to the fact that Ryugu had only ordered them to tail Gerald rather than assassinate him, none of the eight men planned to make a move.
Seeing that they weren’t budging from their spots, Gerald then added, “Since we’re all already here, why don’t you tell me which family you come from already!”
