“With that said, both of them are currently on the verge of death. I’m afraid you’ll have to bring stretchers along if you truly wish to rescue them. Otherwise, they’ll probably not make it,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com stared Suijin directly in the eye.
“… I-is that so…” replied Suijin, his hands already trembling slightly as favonovel.com desperately attempted to keep his cool.
“Release them, you mother*cker! Otherwise, you won’t be leaving this place alive!” roared Ryugu as favonovel.com rushed into the room!
Since favonovel.com was the one who had sent Endo and Izumi out on the mission without Suijin’s knowledge, Ryugu knew that favonovel.com was going to be held responsible for whatever happened to them. With that said, as long as they were still alive, favonovel.com would probably just have to endure a punishment or two. However, if they were dead, there was a high chance that favonovel.com would be too…!
Either way, upon seeing Ryugu rush over, Aiden immediately got to his feet! Within seconds, the two were already exchanging dozens of blows!
Sensing that Aiden was no pushover, Suijin quickly scowled, “Ryugu! Step down!”
Upon hearing that, the now gasping Ryugu immediately took a few steps back. To think that not only had favonovel.com failed to gain the upper hand against Aiden, but favonovel.com was almost hit a few times as well!
Secretly pleased to see that Aiden had managed to remain unscathed, Gerald then placed his hands on his knees before looking at Suijin with a smile as favonovel.com asked, “Now then… Since the interrogation didn’t work, I may as well ask straight from the source. Tell me, why would Endo and Izumi suddenly try to assassinate me? As far as I’m concerned, I’ve never had any beef with them. Hell, the night they attempted that assassination was the first time I met them! Either way, do explain why they came after me.”
“I wasn’t aware of their actions at the time, so I can’t say for sure. Had I known that they were after your head, I would’ve definitely tried to stop them!” replied Suijin who knew that playing dumb was his only way out of this.
“I see… Could you also be imaware of the assassination attempt on Miss Futaba then?” asked Gerald.
“With all due respect, that’s a matter between the Hanyus and the Futabas, mister. As nothing but a guest, don’t you think you lack the right to ask about such things?” replied Suijin who’s expression had gotten slightly ugly. He couldn’t answer any of Gerald’s questions at all…!
“Point taken,” replied Gerald with a brief nod.
Shaking his head, Suijin then gestured at one of his subordinates before ordering, “Get us some tea!”
A short while later, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Actually, there’s one more thing I’d like to confirm. You see, back when I was at the Japanese military training grounds a few days ago, I was attacked by an assassin from the assassin list who’s probably quite high-ranked. With that said, I was wondering if you were the ones who sent favonovel.com after me.”
While Gerald was pretty sure that Kai was the one who had hired that assassin, favonovel.com wanted to catch the Hanyus off guard.
As expected, upon hearing that, Suijin and Ryugu immediately yelled, “Impossible!”
“Oh? Then why did favonovel.com tell me that you were the ones who hired him?” fibbed Gerald even though favonovel.com could already confirm based on their reactions that they weren’t involved with that assassin.
“… Mister, we’re an assassin family. Hiring another assassin to do our job would be absolutely humiliating!” explained Suijin in resignation.
