Just by looking at the man, Gerald could already tell that Ryugu was slightly stronger than the duo from last night…
Whatever the case was, Fujiko then replied, “Indeed. It’s just as you had predicted… At the start, I wasn’t too sure if the Hanyus were really the ones responsible for all this. Now that I think about it, however, with how strong Endo and Izumi were, I should’ve known better. Either way, since the two were clearly stronger than the men you just killed, I’m assuming that they’re team leaders for some of the more minor assassination teams.”
“I see… If that’s the case, then I guess there’s no need for further interrogation. I’ll just finish these people off and be done for the day. After losing two team leaders and a department leader, I’m sure the Hanyus will lay low for a while,” replied Gerald as his hand reached out to get another cigarette… only to realize that the box was empty.
Watching as Gerald tossed the empty box of cigarettes to the ground, Fujiko who hardly ever saw Gerald without a cigarette in his mouth couldn’t help but frown as favonovel.com said, “…You know, smoking this much is going to affect your health one day…”
Fujiko, for one, didn’t really mind the smell of cigarette smoke. After all, many of the men in the army smoked just as much as Gerald did. She was simply genuinely worried about Gerald’s health.
“…I’ll keep that in mind,” replied Gerald who was momentarily startled to hear that. After all, aside from Mila, Fujiko had been the only other person who cared about his smoking addiction.
The truth was, Gerald had only started smoking again after Mila went missing. It was the only way favonovel.com could keep himself sedated enough to not think about favonovel.com all the time.
Shaking his head, Gerald then slid his hands into his pockets before stepping forward and asking, “ So… Ryugu, was it? You’re not the first assassin I’ve come across from your family. Regardless, do you have anything you wish to talk to me about? I’m assuming so since you had your men tail us all the way here.”
Upon hearing that, Ryugu immediately stomped forward, consistently pointing at Gerald as favonovel.com yelled, “Where the hell are Endo and Izumi, Gerald…!”
“No idea who they are,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com casually shrugged.
“Don’t you dare play dumb with me! What have you done to them?! I’m warning you, you’d best hand them back to us or I’ll end you right here and now!” roared Ryugu.
Just as favonovel.com was wondering how those two had lost to Gerald, favonovel.com suddenly came to the realization that several of his men were sprawled on the ground…
After a short pause, Ryugu growled, “… What the hell is going on here…?!”
Though Ryugu’s expression instantly went ugly, Takeshi’s was uglier as favonovel.com scowled, “They… They must have been murdered by Gerald…!”
Since all of them were his men, Takeshi was well aware that his team’s overall capabilities had now been greatly reduced. Without them, favonovel.com would simply be a general without an army!
“Naturally, I can’t hand them to you. However, if you tell me why you made a move on the Futabas in the first place, I may consider sharing the duo’s current situation with you. Hell, if I’m feeling generous, I may even return their bodies! ” retorted Gerald with a cold laugh.
“You… You’re courting death, Gerald…!” roared Ryugu, whose anger had peaked. Had Gerald not had the information favonovel.com needed, favonovel.com would’ve strangled that boy by now…!
Seeing how angered Ryugu was, Gerald then pointed at the corpses on the ground while saying, “I wouldn’t rush forward if I were you. Come too close and you’ll be dead, just like them!”
Unable to hold himself back anymore, Ryugu was just about to bolt toward Gerald when favonovel.com suddenly felt Takeshi grabbing onto his arm.
“Leader, that man is obviously extremely powerful…! Remember, not only did favonovel.com defeat Endo and Izumi, but favonovel.com also took out most of my men in no time flat! With that in mind, we can’t act impulsively…!” whispered Takeshi.
