Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2091-2093

Chapter 2091.

Not knowing how to start talking about what he has done, Gerald only gave vague details.

Understanding that Gerald didn't want to talk about it, Takuya then said,

"..So. Well, whatever you do, I'm fine as long as Kai doesn't come looking for trouble anymore."

"Good to hear. By the way, I want to ask you about Suke. What does this have to do with Futaba? And how long has he been out of touch with the family?"

Gerald asked in light of last night's incident.

"..Hm? Where did this come from? Did he look for trouble with you yesterday?"

Takuya asked as he raised next to his eyebrows. Although he was not as strong as Kanagawa, he was still the head of the Futaba family. With that in mind, it was his strength to deal with the troublemakers in the family.

"I'm not against Suke. I'm just a little curious about him" replied Gerald.

Until he does make a thorough investigation, Gerald will not share his speculation and inadvertently wreak havoc in the family.

"..So. Well, Suke is not the nicest guy. It's been three years since he left the family, and he hasn't contacted me until now. I'm not too sure if he's ever been in contact with me, the rest of the family, even though I know that he has a lot of respect for Masura. I'm afraid that's all I know about him."

Answer Takuya without cutting off the words.

Scratching his chin, Gerald then said,

"so."

After looking at Gerald for a while, Takuya could not help but cross his arms before saying, Takuya,

"Whatever the case may be, don't take heart what they said yesterday. They just want to take my place as the head of the family. Even so, I won't lose without a fight, even if the two work together!"

Smiling subtly, Gerald simply replied,

"understand."

Meanwhile, Ryuka-who has just returned to Kanagawa manor soon starts looking for Kai. Why did Kai react that way during the call?

Did he say something he shouldn't have said when he was at Futaba's house? Will her status in the family be threatened because of it?

Hoping that that was not the case, Ryuuka then shouted,

"Kai? I'm back!"

Kai himself has just called Ryugu and learns that Gerald is about to be killed. With that in mind, he was in a rather good mood.

After hearing Ryuuka's cry, he turned to look at her before asking, she said,

"Hmm? What brings you here?"

"Well, you sounded a bit dissatisfied when I called you earlier, so I wondered if I had said something I shouldn't have said to the Futaba..."

Replied Ryuuka who could only sigh in relief when she saw the smile on Kai's face. Waving his hand, Kai just said,

"It's nothing. Anyway, let me know that no one from our family is allowed to meet or even contact Futaba without my permission for now!"

"..But... I just left because the head of the family told me to."

Replied Ryuuka with a somewhat bitter tone.

"I don't care. From now on, not a single Kanagawa was allowed to meet with the Futaba! If dad asks about it, just tell him that the order came from me! Do you understand?"

Reply Kai while glaring at him.

Chapter 2092.

"understand.."

Ryuuka replied as she immediately nodded, afraid Kai would go berserk if she did not agree.

Whatever the case may be, although Ryuuka is well aware that the head of the family has the final say in things like this, she also knows that the patriarch adores Kai very much.

With that thought in mind, if she chose not to obey Kai, Ryuuka knew that the head of the family would not intervene to support her.

In fact, Ryuuka was pretty sure that the head of the family would kick her out of the family, just to please Kai!

"I'm glad you did. Now go and continue the work. Also, remember to let me know if there's anything else."

Kai said in a slightly impatient tone as he gestured for Ryuuka to leave.

Kai, for example, knew better than to move when Gerald was alive. After all, that b*stard could easily reveal everything that happened that night!

With that in mind, though he is desperate to get Fujiko back from Futabas, Kai understands that his best game right now is to get Hanyu's killer to finish off Gerald first.

One time when Gerald 'mysteriously' disappears from the face of the planet, Kai can finally do what he wants without any repercussions..!

After all, upon hearing that, Ryuuka-who already had a grain of cold sweat running down her forehead quickly replied,

"If there's nothing else, I'll go."

"Just get out!"

Kai grumbled as Ryuuka walked out of the room.

If everything really gets to that point, then Kai will definitely be cursed for good..! With that in mind, Kai inevitably summoned Ryugu again...

Ryugu raised, he immediately said,

"Kai? Can I help you?"

"Don't beat around. When are you planning to finish off Gerald?"

Kai asked who became a little nervous again after learning what Ryuuka had done earlier at Futaba's house.

If Gerald considers Ryuuka's actions as a challenge, then he can easily expose Kai's mistakes anywhere he is happy.

"With all due respect, Kai, it's only been a few days. Remember, Gerald is not an Irun-off-the-mill beggar we can get rid of easily without any repercussions. He's Futabas' guest! Besides, while I'm not sure what he's doing at your place, I'm sure Takuya will be much more protective of Gerald now. With that said, it's not easy to kill him,."

Ryugu replied in a slightly helpless tone. However, he knew better than to be presumptuous with Kai, so he held his tongue.

"Do you think I care? Look, get the job done in a week. If Gerald had not disappeared from the face of the planet back then, you better start thinking about how you would explain the situation to the patriarch!"

Kai growled before he hung up the phone.

With his phone still stuck to his ear, Ryugu could only stare into the distance for a while. Seven days he said. Ryugu wondered if he could even enter Futaba's house back then.

Even after he finds a way to sneak in, he still needs to find Gerald and do further planning for the murder... A week is too short! However, he knew he couldn't just break Kai's orders.

After all, Kai is a powerful and influential young master of the Kanagawa family, a family much stronger than Hanyus, at least in Japan.

As if that wasn't disturbing enough, he was already in hot water with Suijin because he failed to find the individual who had foiled Saburo's assassination attempt.

If Kai reported his incompetence to Suijin as well, then he really should step down from his position as the leader of the assassination team..! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

He was the leader of the killing team for God's sake! The second person after Suijin in the Hanyu family! In all of Japan, even most of the prestigious people and high officials had to respect him! Everything used to go as he wished!

How could he fall so much in just half a month?!

"F*hell..! Where do all these problems keep coming from?!"

Ryugu's furious roar as he slammed his fist into the table beside him, causing it to shatter into pieces..!

Chapter 2093.

After hearing all the sounds, some of Ryugu's men immediately broke down the door and asked, saying,

"Team leader! What's wrong?!"

"...Everything's fine. In any case, call all the leaders of the secondary assassination team immediately. There's something important I want to discuss with them. Also, tell them to bring any clues they find about Futabas!"

Ryugu's orders while shaking his head while sighing.

It was impossible for him to risk lowering his image by sharing his bad position with his subordinates. That was the reason why he made sure to install the leader-like facade when ordering his men.

Whatever the case, after exchanging glances with each other, his men then nodded before shouting, saying,

"Slow and clear!"

About ten minutes later, eight new faces were seen gathering in Ryugu's room. These people were the leaders of the secondary assassination team, and they were operating under Ryugu's orders.

After seeing them for a while, Ryugu detailed Kai's condition. However, as he did so, he couldn't help but notice that some leaders occasionally lowered their heads to whisper amongst themselves.

Upset that his subordinates were speaking ill of him right in front of his face, Ryugu finally snarled,

"If you have something to say, say it in front of me!"

"...With all due respect, team leader, we're just discussing the mission."

“He's right, team leader. Remember how Saburo failed to kill Fujiko back then? Don't you think Futaba will be much more wary of us now...? With that in mind, there's no way we can kill him without being discovered!"

"Indeed! Why don't we wait until the situation subsides a bit..? Suggest that we talk about this mission once more when things calm down!"

Not daring to whisper anymore, the group of men immediately revealed what they had discussed.

Still, even though they each said it a little differently, the content of their conversation was more or less the same, due to the fact that they could not just face Futabas straight after Saburo failed to kill Fujiko.

While it is true that the current Futaba is not as strong as it used to be, they are still much better compared to other families.

With that in mind, if Hanyus launches another assassination mission soon and Futaba realizes it, the family will inevitably be forced to spread the word - about their assassination attempt - to other families in Japan.

If everything got to that point, there was a high chance that Hanyus would be taken out overnight!

After all, the only reason why Hanyus could operate in Japan for hundreds of years was because they mainly dealt with assassination attempts abroad.

I got word that they had been trying to kill a fellow Japanese citizen, any initial tolerance - of any other Japanese family - would definitely be thrown out the window.

After all, if they dared to kill a Futaba, who would say that Hanyus would not kill them next?

With that in mind, the possibility of several families working together to take them down is very real. At that time, no Hanyu could escape judgment.

"..Did you all really think that I didn't consider it before calling you?!"

Ryugu growled while clenching his fists.

Although he definitely agreed with them, he only had seven days to get rid of Gerald... Moreover, he only had half a month to find the man who had foiled Saburo's assassination attempt... There really was no time for him to be silent.
