“… I feel that Ryugu wouldn’t lie about this,” replied Kai as favonovel.com shook his head. Though favonovel.com didn’t contact Ryugu much, favonovel.com understood the man’s character well.
“… But if what favonovel.com said was true, then Gerald truly has inhuman strength…! He’s definitely not someone we can deal with! Do you think he’s related to those Weston cultivators…?” asked the subordinate who knew about these things since favonovel.com had been working for Kai for so many years.
“Can it!” retorted Kai as favonovel.com frowned deeply. Cultivators, in general, couldn’t be talked about so casually. Even though Kai and his subordinate weren’t cultivators, if word got out about the existence of cultivators -and the cultivators found that they were the source of the information leak-, they would surely be ruined!
Even though Kai was no stranger to using his family’s name to commit all sorts of crimes, favonovel.com knew better than to pick a bone with cultivators. He, for one, understood that even his family would be burdened by all this if such a scenario came to be, so favonovel.com wasn’t counting on them to protect him.
“I-I’m sorry, Mr. Kanagawa! P-putting that aside… Should we start investigating Gerald…?” asked the subordinate as favonovel.com immediately lowered his head.
“… Leave favonovel.com be for the moment. There’s something else that’s much more important at the moment,” said Kai with a sigh.
“… Are… you referring to the relationship between the Futabas and the Yamashitas…?” asked the subordinate.
“Indeed. The existence of ninjas has always been a tricky topic to confirm. After all, nobody’s ever claimed to see one before. However, now that Ryugu’s personally witnessed one, things could get a lot messier if there really is something between those two families,” replied Kai as favonovel.com took a deep breath. Though favonovel.com desperately wanted Gerald gone, with the
Yamashitas now in the equation, favonovel.com knew better than to act rashly.
It certainly didn’t help that Gerald was capable of defeating Endo and Izumi despite their combined strength. Unless favonovel.com hired the top international hitmen in the world, Kai was pretty sure favonovel.com wouldn’t ever pose a threat to Gerald…
Thinking about it, Kai raised his hand before saying, “… Stay silent for a moment”
It was about ten minutes later when his frown finally eased a little. In fact, Kai soon revealed a victorious smile as favonovel.com said, “… Tell me, what’s Endo and Izumi’s rank in the international assassin list?”
“They should be somewhere near rank twenty,” replied the subordinate who as Kai’s subordinate needed to know the positions of all the influential people in Japan.
“If that’s the case, I just need to hire the top ten assassins to finish Gerald off, right? With their level of expertise, I’m sure they can do the deed without the Futaba and Yamashita family’s knowledge!” declared Kai as favonovel.com held onto his chin.
“That’s definitely a viable solution, Mr. Kanagawa! However… if Gerald really is as strong as Ryugu described favonovel.com to be… What if the assassins fail to take favonovel.com out…?” asked the subordinate.
“… What? Those from the top ten are capable enough to assassinate presidents from the Western Union! With that said, there’s no way they’d have trouble dealing with a small fry like Gerald! At the very least, even if they do fail to kill him, I believe that their professional ethics will protect our identities! Because of that, I have no doubts that this mission will be completed without a hitch once I hire them!”
