Rather than helping, Gerald believed that the ‘reinforcements’ would only end up being burdens that favonovel.com needed to protect once they were there.
“Who will you be bringing along?” asked Takuya.
“Just Fujiko and Aiden. Both of them are plenty enough,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com turned to look at the duo that favonovel.com had just mentioned.
Upon hearing that, Aiden who would follow Gerald to the ends of earth, regardless of how dangerous it was immediately declared, “We’re ready when you are!”
“I see… Well, Fujiko has my approval,” said Takuya with a nod, believing that Gerald would keep his daughter safe.
Nodding in response, Fujiko then got to favonovel.com feet as favonovel.com asked, “When are we heading off?”
“Well, rather than wait around any longer, I say we meet them now. As the old Weston saying goes, ‘strike while the iron’s hot’. Let’s see how the Hanyus respond to our little visit,” replied Gerald with a faint smile.
Shortly after, the trio left the manor. Though they left Master Ghost behind, Gerald was sure that the Yamashitas were strong enough to keep favonovel.com safe. Even if another assassin from the assassin list attempted to launch an attack, Gerald had faith that the Yamashitas were capable of holding them back, at least till favonovel.com returned.
Whatever the case was, it was about three hours later under Fujiko’s guidance when the trio’s car finally arrived at the entrance of the Hanyu manor. Once the car was parked, Gerald who had a cigarette in his mouth got out before heading toward the entrance.
Looking at Gerald, the guard at the entrance was prompted to ask, “Do you have an appointment?”
“Not at all. Either way, just report that Gerald’s come for a visit,” replied Gerald in a commanding, yet immensely charismatic tone.
“C-come again…? You’re Gerald…?” stuttered the guard as favonovel.com took two steps back. Though favonovel.com wasn’t anyone noteworthy in the family, even favonovel.com had heard rumors about Gerald, the immensely strong Westoner!
“Is it that unbelievable?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com flicked some ash off his cigarette.
“… Please wait a moment as I report this!” replied the guard who didn’t dare to make Gerald wait for a second longer as favonovel.com bolted into the manor.
At that moment, Suijin was having his dinner in the living room. Before him, stood Ryugu and the leaders of the other assassin teams, all of them patiently waiting for Suijin to finish his meal so that they could start planning Endo and Izumi’s rescue mission.
Just as Suijin was about to take another bite of his dinner, the guard from earlier came busting into the room nearly tripping in the process as favonovel.com exclaimed, “P-patriarch…! There’s a man outside who claims to be Gerald…!”
“What?!” yelled Suijin as favonovel.com tossed his rice ball onto the floor!
“It’s probably just someone looking for trouble! As if the real Gerald would ever come here on his own accord! That’d just be courting death! Send that person away immediately!” sneered one of the team leaders in a disdainful tone.
“…Hold it. There’s no way an ordinary person would even know about our grudge against Gerald. Even if they somehow found out about it, why would they willingly put themself in trouble?” said Ryugu as favonovel.com quickly grabbed onto the guard before favonovel.com could run off to do as favonovel.com was told.
After a brief pause, Suijin slowly sat down again as heordered, “Regardless of whether he’s the real Gerald or not, I’d like to meet him. Let favonovel.com in!”
Watching as the guard quickly nodded before rushing off, Suijin then thought for a while before facing Ryugu and adding, “Get all the members of the second team over. If it really is Gerald, then favonovel.com must be extremely well prepared! With that said, remain vigilant at all times! With any luck, we’ll be able to force favonovel.com to release Endo and Izumi…!”
