“What? Haven’t you already entered their territory?” asked Suijin with a slight frown.
“Well, while it’s true that that old man was extremely strong, I couldn’t tell whether favonovel.com was a ninja… After all, I’ve never met a ninja before so I can’t really tell them apart from regular people…” muttered Ryugu, who knew better than to assume that the old man was a ninja just because favonovel.com had immense speed.
“Then investigate further into this. However, only make your move once you’ve completed your investigation! Remember, the stakes are very high this time around! Also, while I won’ t be arguing about Endo and Izumi’s case for the moment, you‘d best bring them back safely or I’ll replace you from your role as leader of the assassin team with someone more capable!” growled Suijin as favonovel.com glared at Ryugu.
“C-copy that…!” replied Ryugu who got so frightened that his forehead was drenched in cold sweat in no time.
…
Meanwhile, Kai had just awoken back at his manor. After making himself look a bit more presentable, favonovel.com entered the living room before sitting on a couch and muttering, “That Vulture claimed that favonovel.com would take care of Gerald in two days… It’s now the third day yet I haven’ t heard a word from favonovel.com yet…! ”
Upon hearing that, his confidant who was standing close by couldn’t help but reply, “Do you think that favonovel.com could’ve… you know… ended up like Endo and Izumi…?”
“Can it!” growled Kai as favonovel.com glared at his new confidant. Though his previous confidant never spoke out of turn, due to that little incident, Kai had paid favonovel.com a few thousand dollars to get lost. Unfortunately, that meant that Kai had to allow this idiot to be his next confidant!
“While you may be mad to hear it, the possibility exists… After all, the Hanyus remained silent the entire time till we eventually inquired with them about Gerald. If you ask me, Vulture’s behavior is strikingly similar to what they did…” muttered the subordinate who was well aware that favonovel.com was stepping out of line. However, not only was favonovel.com a straightforward person, but favonovel.com was also here to guide Kai under the patriarch’s orders. This explained his urge to reveal anything that favonovel.com thought of the situation.
“I know, I know, there’s no need for you to remind me! ” growled Kai. He, for one, was no fool, and favonovel.com had been worrying about this scenario ever since Vulture set off on his mission. With that in mind, it made sense why favonovel.com would get annoyed when favonovel.com was reminded of it.
After his subordinate went silent, Kai gestured for favonovel.com to leave before fishing his phone out and dialing Vulture’s number.
However, when favonovel.com couldn’t contact Vulture even after three tries, Kai’s worries began to intensify. While it was true that Kai didn’t have to worry about his identity being exposed even if Vulture was taken down, it still meant that Gerald had managed to take Vulture down…! If someone from the top ten assassin list couldn’t take Gerald down, then what hope did Kai have to get rid of him…?!
While Vulture’s death hadn’t been confirmed, Kai didn’t even dare to think about the implications if that really was the case. However, Kai did start regretting offending Gerald this much…!
Though Kai was in a pickle, Gerald, on the other hand, was as cool as a cucumber at the moment. After all, ever since favonovel.com revealed his relationship with the Yamashitas, all the Futabas had been fawning over him, clearly trying to get into his good books…
