Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2143 “Playing dumb? Fine! Since you wish to know so much, I’ll spell it out for you! You told me that Geraldhad gone to the military training grounds this morning, remember? Then why the hell wasn’t he there?”growled Kai as he glared at Ryugu.
“You… went over?” replied the surprised Ryugu.
“Did I stutter? Regardless, my subordinates searched for half an hour to no avail! While Fujiko wasthere, there were no traces of Gerald at all! With that said, are you trying to continue fooling me orsomething?” sneered Kai.
“… I know for a fact that Gerald participated in the special forces competition together with Fujiko. Withthat said, he should be there with her. Could he have noticed you before you saw him? That would’vedefinitely prompted him to hide till you left!” suggested Ryugu as he scratched the back of his head.
“It’s needless to say that now. Either way, since we’re already here, allow me to ask why you haven’tgotten rid of Gerald even after that week I gave you. Hell, you even told me not to make a move on himfor the time being. Are the Hanyu assassins not capable enough to take him on?” scoffed Ryugu, notwanting to hear any of Ryugu’s excuses.
Hearing that, Ryugu could only sigh as he replied, “… It is a bit inconvenient for us to deal with thiscase…”
After all, not only had he yet to save Endo and Izumi, but he had lost several other Hanyu assassins inthe process as well. With how humiliating this defeat was, there was no way Ryugu was going towillingly embarrass himself by telling Kai what had happened.
“Inconvenient? I’ve been cooperating with the Hanyus this entire time, no? Actually, I do wonder ifyou’re hiding something from me,” growled Kai as he frowned.
For Ryugu to fail to take Gerald out even after being given all this time… What was the issue? He hadto get to the bottom of all this today! Otherwise, Gerald would simply be able to continue living free andeasy!
Though he was reluctant to talk about it, Ryugu knew that Kai wasn’t going to let him off that easily if hecontinued keeping his mouth shut. With that in mind, Ryugu then asked, “Do… you really wish to knowthe entire situation…?”
“Cut the cr*p and just tell me already!” grumbled Kai as he took a sip of tea before slamming the teacuponto the table.
Sighing, Ryugu then replied, “I… think you know Endo and Izumi, right…?”
“Of course. They’re both team leaders of your family’s many assassination teams, no? You know, if youhad just sent those two to get rid of Gerald, I’m sure the mission would have been over in a singlenight! Are you worried that I can’t afford to commission those two or something?” said Kai slightlyimpatiently.
“… Actually, they were the first I sent out- “novelbin
“Then what’s the issue? Did they go rogue or something?”
Taking a deep breath, Ryugu then said, “… If you could just let me finish, Mr. Kanagawa… The truth is,they’ve gone missing ever since they entered the Futaba manor!”
“… Missing?” replied Kai with a deep frown.
Though he wasn’t a Hanyu, he was well aware of how strong Endo and Izumi were. Killing Geraldshould’ve been a cinch for them…
“Indeed… Ever since they entered, I haven’t gotten news about them till this very day…” mutteredRyugu with a heavy sigh, making it clear that this was an extremely worrying incident to him. After all, ifEndo and Izumi really were dead, then his family wouldn’t be able to bear the losses…
