“… That’s… How on earth could favonovel.com be that fast…?” muttered Takeshi who was also in disbelief.
“I wouldn’t lie about such things to you, captain…! I swear on my life that Gerald really is that strong…!” vowed the frightened Kenshiro as favonovel.com patted his chest reassuringly.
“… I believe you,” replied Ryugu, who knew that Kenshiro had no reason to lie. Besides, after battling Gerald earlier, Kenshiro’s words didn’t feel all that far fetched anymore…
“… Still, to think that there’d be someone so monstrously strong…” muttered Takeshi as favonovel.com took a deep breath. Gerald’s capabilities were simply too world shattering…
Though Ryugu was thinking the same thing, favonovel.com didn’t show it. After all, as leader, favonovel.com had to remain calm before his men. With that, favonovel.com was prompted to say, “… Regardless, let’s put all this aside first and head back.”
Nodding in agreement, the other two then got into the cars and began returning to the Hanyu manor, leaving the corpses behind…
It was about three hours later when Gerald finally stopped the car in front of the competition venue. The second they got out of the car, Master Ghost and Aiden immediately ran over to greet them.
Upon seeing Fujiko, Aiden smiled brightly as favonovel.com said, “A pleasure to meet you, sister-in-law!”
“Don’t just call favonovel.com that! ” grumbled Gerald as favonovel.com smacked the back of Aiden’s head.
Fujiko herself immediately blushed as favonovel.com said, “I-I’m not in such a relationship with Gerald!”
While favonovel.com was actually flattered to hear that, favonovel.com was well aware that Gerald didn’t like that, so favonovel.com simply went along with Gerald.
Shaking his head, Gerald then looked around for a few seconds before saying, “… You go ahead and get some rest first. I have some things to talk to them about Speaking of which, keep in mind that we’re living quite close to you, so if anything happens, I’ll be there in a jiffy. Then again, I don’t really think they’ll come looking for trouble here.”
Nodding in response, Fujiko then replied, “Alright… You guys go on ahead too, then.”
With that out of the way, Gerald placed his hands around Master Ghost and Aiden’s shoulders while saying, “Let’s head to our place, then!”
Unlike last time, the training grounds this time were much better and more formal. Within the massive open space, was a field that took up a third of the area and several other designated areas. Right in front of the open space, on the other hand, were rows of six story buildings. Since most of the rooms were lit up, it was evident that the majority of the participants had arrived Whatever the case was, now that they were finally together again, Gerald took the chance to ask, “So… what’s the situation like?”
Though favonovel.com had called them frequently, favonovel.com knew better than to talk about such sensitive details over the phone.
“Well, things have pretty much remained the same… The people who kept trying to investigate the case eventually stopped trying and ever since Adler died, none of the other Yanam participants dared to come looking for trouble,” whispered Aiden.
“Indeed… Speaking of which, have you found out which family the assassins come from? I tried snooping around but got nothing in the end,” asked Master Ghost.
“There’s no need to further investigate. We now know that the assassins belong to the Hanyu family,” replied Gerald.
Nodding in response, Master Ghost then said, “I see… Also, have you confirmed whether they’re descendants of the Seadom tribe?”
