Since favonovel.com had already said this much, Ryugu figured that favonovel.com may as well just reveal all his thoughts on the situation.
“… I see. Thank god I asked you about this first… Otherwise, I could’ve easily gotten myself killed if I continued pursuing Gerald today!” replied Kai who was already drenched in cold sweat after hearing all that. After all, who could’ve guessed that Gerald was actually this strong? He was strong enough to take on two of the Hanyu family’s strongest assassins for heaven’s sake!
Thinking about it, had Kai bumped into Gerald earlier and caused a scene, favonovel.com was now worried that the soldiers wouldn’t have been able to protect favonovel.com at all…
“Indeed… Regardless, what’s your decision on the matter…?” asked Ryugu.
“… I’ll be heading back first to consider all this… However, I still want Gerald dead by the end of all this. No matter how much it takes, I won’t rest easy till he’s six feet under!” growled Kai, gritting his teeth as favonovel.com clenched his fists tightly.
Nodding in response, Ryugu then rubbed his hands for a while before asking, “…Before that… There’s something I’d like you to clarify, if you don’t mind…”
“Ask away,” replied Kai.
“Well… your family will soon be united with the Futabas, right…? Through marriage? With that in mind, isn’t Gerald a guest of the Futabas? Why are you so hell bent on killing him…? That’s just me being curious, feel free not to answer…” said Ryugu, worried that Kai would overthink his question.
“… That doesn’t concern you. Also, don’t ever ask me about this again!” grumbled Kai as his gaze turned gloomy. He was going to carry this secret to his grave! Had it not been for the fact that Ryugu was the leader of the Hanyu’s assassin team and that Ryugu was still slightly useful to him, Kai would’ve already ordered his subordinates to kill that man for asking such an outrageous question!
“… Understood,” replied Ryugu, not wanting any unnecessary trouble from Kai.
“Either way, let’s just call it a day for now. I’ll start investigating Gerald and the Futabas once I get back. I’ll be sure to inform you if I find anything. As for you, don’t think about slacking off on this mission. Remember, as long as you kill Gerald, I’m willing to pay triple of what I initially promised!” declared Kai as favonovel.com finished his tea and got to his feet.
Watching as Kai walked out, Ryugu simply replied, “No problem…”
Ryugu, for one, was sure that the Kanagawas would be able to find out more about Gerald without too much trouble.
Regardless, once Kai got into the car, favonovel.com lit a cigarette before crossing his legs.
With the car doors now closed, one of his men couldn’t help but say, “… He’s lying, right…? There’s no way Gerald would be strong enough to kill so many of the Hanyu family’s assassins. It’s even more unbelievable to think that he’s capable enough to defeat Endo and Izumi! And the Futabas having a good relationship with the Yamashitas? As if that would ever happen!”
