Chapter 2119
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2119 With that in mind, Ryugu then turned to look at Gerald again. Quite honestly, he was feeling immenselyanxious to the point of finding it hard to breathe since he still had no idea where Endo and Izumi were.Whatever the case was, Ryugu knew that the only cure for his anxiety was by saving his two men andmurdering Gerald…
Regardless, Ryugu had accepted the old man’s invitation for a reason. While they were driving overearlier, Ryugu had been thinking about Saburo’s failure to assassinate Fujiko. Were the Yamashitastruly the ones who had intercepted Saburo’s assassination attempt the other day? Why else wouldGerald and Fujiko suddenly decide to head here?
Either way, if the Yamashitas really were the masterminds behind all this, then it would definitelyexplain why he hadn’t been able to locate Saburo’s assailant even after sending out so many men toinvestigate…
Since the old man had initiated the invitation, this was a n optimal opportunity for him to dig deeper intothis! He wasn’t the leader of the Hanyu’s assassination team for nothing!
Whatever the case was, since Ryugu agreed to it, the old man then smiled as he turned to face Geraldwhile asking, “And how about you, young brother?”
“I’d be glad to. I’ve heard about the Yamashita ninjas for a while now, and it’s an honor to finally be ableto meet one,” replied Gerald as he smiled back.
Chuckling in response, the old man then said in his hoarse voice, “My boy, ninjas aren’t real! We’re justa small family on the verge of collapse! There aren’t any ninjas to be found here!”
Before Gerald could reply, however, the old man slowly extended his hand… and with a slight gesture,the shuriken that had earlier been tossed flew right back into his hand! It was almost as though it was
being pulled back by an invisible thread of sorts…
With the shuriken now in his hand, the old man then slipped it into his pocket before turning around andwalking further down the barren mountain, his arms against his back… Though one would’ve expectedhim to move slowly, the old man was quite fast.
Seeing that, Ryugu then glared at Gerald, and was just about to follow suit when Takeshi suddenlywalked up to him before asking, “Um… What about us, leader…?”
Pausing for a moment, Ryugu then turned to look at all his possibly dead men. Gritting his teeth, Ryugusimply replied, “… You two wait here. Also, try to see if the others can be saved.”
Following that, Gerald, Fujiko, and Ryugu quickly caught up with the old man.
The Yamashitas lived at the foot of the barren mountain. Though the village itself seemed ratherancient, there were still a number of modern looking villas and manors around…
Eventually stopping before a small manor, the old man then pushed the wooden door open whilesaying, “Please, come in.”novelbin
Nodding in response, all three of them then entered and began looking around. Honestly, the entirearea felt rather…. Weston like, at least in a traditional sense. Before them, was a wooden-paved path,with ponds and plants on both sides. At the end of the courtyard, the trio were greeted by the sight of arow of houses that each looked to be at least a few decades old.
As they were walking on, the old man placed his wrinkled hands together while asking, “… Correct meif I’m wrong, but you’re the young mistress of the Futaba family, right?”
Nodding in response, she simply replied, “I am. I go by Futaba Fujiko!”
Chuckling in response, the old man then cheerfully said, “So it really is you! You know, when yourfather last brought you here, you were just this tall… You really have grown to be a beauty!”
Watching as the old man gestured to the height of a child, the surprised Fujiko who had never heard ofher father contacting the Yamashitas before couldn’t help but ask, “You’ve… met my father before…?”
“Of course, I have! Though that was quite a long time ago… ” replied the old man as he nodded whilesmiling, clearly reminiscing about the past…
