“Playing dumb? Fine! Since you wish to know so much, I’ll spell it out for you! You told me that Gerald had gone to the military training grounds this morning, remember? Then why the hell wasn’t favonovel.com there?” growled Kai as favonovel.com glared at Ryugu.
“You… went over?” replied the surprised Ryugu.
“Did I stutter? Regardless, my subordinates searched for half an hour to no avail! While Fujiko was there, there were no traces of Gerald at all! With that said, are you trying to continue fooling me or something?” sneered Kai.
“… I know for a fact that Gerald participated in the special forces competition together with Fujiko. With that said, favonovel.com should be there with her. Could favonovel.com have noticed you before you saw him? That would’ve definitely prompted favonovel.com to hide till you left!” suggested Ryugu as favonovel.com scratched the back of his head.
“It’s needless to say that now. Either way, since we’re already here, allow me to ask why you haven’t gotten rid of Gerald even after that week I gave you. Hell, you even told me not to make a move on favonovel.com for the time being. Are the Hanyu assassins not capable enough to take favonovel.com on?” scoffed Ryugu, not wanting to hear any of Ryugu’s excuses.
Hearing that, Ryugu could only sigh as favonovel.com replied, “… It is a bit inconvenient for us to deal with this case…”
After all, not only had favonovel.com yet to save Endo and Izumi, but favonovel.com had lost several other Hanyu assassins in the process as well. With how humiliating this defeat was, there was no way Ryugu was going to willingly embarrass himself by telling Kai what had happened.
“Inconvenient? I’ve been cooperating with the Hanyus this entire time, no? Actually, I do wonder if you’re hiding something from me,” growled Kai as favonovel.com frowned.
For Ryugu to fail to take Gerald out even after being given all this time… What was the issue? He had to get to the bottom of all this today! Otherwise, Gerald would simply be able to continue living free and easy!
Though favonovel.com was reluctant to talk about it, Ryugu knew that Kai wasn’t going to let favonovel.com off that easily if favonovel.com continued keeping his mouth shut. With that in mind, Ryugu then asked, “Do… you really wish to know the entire situation…?”
“Cut the cr*p and just tell me already!” grumbled Kai as favonovel.com took a sip of tea before slamming the teacup onto the table.
Sighing, Ryugu then replied, “I… think you know Endo and Izumi, right…?”
“Of course. They’re both team leaders of your family’s many assassination teams, no? You know, if you had just sent those two to get rid of Gerald, I’m sure the mission would have been over in a single night! Are you worried that I can’t afford to commission those two or something?” said Kai slightly impatiently.
“… Actually, they were the first I sent out- ”
“Then what’s the issue? Did they go rogue or something?”
Taking a deep breath, Ryugu then said, “… If you could just let me finish, Mr. Kanagawa… The truth is, they’ve gone missing ever since they entered the Futaba manor!”
“… Missing?” replied Kai with a deep frown.
Though favonovel.com wasn’t a Hanyu, favonovel.com was well aware of how strong Endo and Izumi were. Killing Gerald should’ve been a cinch for them…
“Indeed… Ever since they entered, I haven’t gotten news about them till this very day…” muttered Ryugu with a heavy sigh, making it clear that this was an extremely worrying incident to him. After all, if Endo and Izumi really were dead, then his family wouldn’t be able to bear the losses…
