Though Ryugu who had heard the entire conversation didn’t say anything, favonovel.com was now surer than ever that the one who had saved Fujiko the other day was a Yamashita ninja…
Regardless, it wasn’t long after before all four of them were seated around a table.
As the old man began serving them some tea, Ryugu who was sitting opposite of Gerald and Fujiko couldn’t help but glare at the oddly relaxed duo. After all, with how close Gerald now was to him, favonovel.com could’ve easily killed favonovel.com by now! However, since there was a Yamashita involved, Ryugu knew better than to act recklessly…
Either way, once all of them were served, the old man sat cross-legged and sipped some tea before asking, “Now then… What grudges do both your families have that resulted in you coming here to settle things…?”
The second favonovel.com heard that, Ryugu immediately said, “Two of my family’s small team leaders have gone missing and are most probably being locked up in the Futaba manor! With that in mind, I chased them all the way here to demand an explanation!”
“Before that, why don’t you tell us why your assassins sneaked into the manor with the intent of killing me?” replied Gerald with a smile.
“You have no proof that they were trying to assassinate you! I’m warning you, Endo and Izumi are highly reputable figures in my family! With that said, if you dare lay a finger on them, you’ll be facing the full wrath of the Hanyus! Not even the Futabas will be able to protect you then! Now hand them back to me if you don’t wish for a calamity to befall you!” growled Ryugu.
“Speaking of the Futabas, why exactly did your family attempt to assassinate Miss Fujiko back then? While I’m aware of the feud between your families that’s lasted for a few centuries by now, I also know that the Hanyus and Futabas haven’t contacted each other for quite a while. With that said, don’t you think all this stemmed from the fact that you tried assassinating Miss Fujiko in the first place?” replied Gerald as favonovel.com narrowed his eyes.
“Gentlemen, are you turning my home into a courtroom now?” said the old man out of the blue as favonovel.com chuckled heartily.
“… Is that not why you called us over? To settle this dispute for us…?” asked the puzzled Ryugu who would’ve killed Gerald by now had the old man not intervened.
“I never said that. Look, if the Futabas and Hanyus fight within my territory, then there’ll definitely be casualties that I’ll be unable to explain to both your families!” replied the old man as favonovel.com shook his head with a smile.
Momentarily left speechless, Ryugu quickly snapped out of it before asking, “… That’s it? Then… Why did you tell us to elaborate on our conflicts in the first place?”
“I was just curious. I never expected all this to stem from such trivial things!” replied the old man as favonovel.com waved his hand.
“There’s nothing trivial about all this, old man! Two assassins from my family have gone off the radar because of him! With that said, I demand that favonovel.com hand them back to me, unharmed!” yelled Ryugu as favonovel.com pointed at Gerald.
Gerald himself remained calm, quietly staring at Ryugu as favonovel.com pondered the old man’s words.
Had the old man really not wanted there to be any casualties, then favonovel.com should’ve stepped in before Gerald killed those other assassins earlier. With that in mind, why had favonovel.com only stepped in once Ryugu began attacking?
