Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2094-2095

Chapter 2094.

"Was... Kai had something to do with your decision, team leader...?"

Ask some guy who has a feeling that that's what's happening.

"There's no point in talking about it. Whatever the case may be, I'm calling all of you today to discuss how we should deal with Gerald. I remember some of you saying you guys had a clue related to Futabas. Do you have it?"

Replying to Ryugu while glaring at all of them.

"Here they are!"

Said one of the men as he took the hard disk out of his pocket and placed it in front of Ryugu.

After which, another subordinate quickly connected it to the computer in the room.

Basically, it was a compilation of everything Hanyu had learned about Futaba in a span of less than two years. The information includes personal and business relationships of all Futaba as well as detailed details regarding Takuya.

Scanning the information, Ryugu finally clicked on the file, instantly revealing a fleeting glance of Futaba's palace after a slight blink of the screen.

Feeling that it was a bit too bright, one of the men quickly closed the curtains of the room, instantly making the video feed clearer.

Pointing to an area in the manor, Ryugu then said,

"This is where their guest room is, so I assume Gerald lives there. However, since he was an esteemed guest of the family, it was possible that he lived somewhere else. Since we're not even sure about this yet, we need to prioritize figuring out where exactly he lives inside the manor!"

"I assume you're planning a murder to be held indoors. However, isn't killing him easier outside the manor?"

Asked one of the team leaders while staring at the screen.

"Indeed, though I'm not sure if the opportunity will present itself."

Ryugu replied with a slight frown.

Turning around to see one of the taller men in the group standing behind-, Ryugu then added, adding,

"...Suneo, I want you to send two trustworthy subordinates to continue to watch over Futaba's palace. Once they find Gerald, follow him and report whatever they find to me!"

"Bluffy and clear, team leader!"

Suneo said as he took one step forward.

"Also, if any of you have an ongoing mission, drop them for a while. Our main focus now is to take Gerald out and find the individual who has foiled Saburo's assassination plot! The truth is, the patriarch has told me that if we fail to handle these two missions, I must resign from my position as leader of the assassination team.

If that eventually happens, you team leaders will lose your posts too! What's more, you should also serve the harshest punishment our family has to offer! Of course you all understand why this is so important right now, right?" Ryugu.

"Yes.."

Answer everyone somewhat anxiously. After all, this was the first time they had seen Ryugu this golden and serious. Then again, considering the threat of Suijin, Ryugu's reaction was completely understandable.

Whatever the case may be, even though the mission is far from simple, they know that they must hurry. They should also be careful not to mess up or the punishment will surely wait for them.

Either way, now that Ryugu had conveyed his point, he pointed at the two men who had been standing in front before saying,

"You two. Stay right here. As for the rest, prepare yourself for the mission!"

The people he chose were the team leaders of the first and second teams. They were both subordinates that Ryugu had promoted, and for good reason.

After all, not only were they capable men, but in terms of strength and martial arts skills, both of them could easily fit into the five strongest men of the family.

After all, once everyone left, Endo took a step forward before asking,

"What can we do for you, team leader?"

Nodding in response, Ryugu then gestured for the doors and windows to be shut tightly. After that was done, Ryugu pointed to the screen as he replied,

"Tell me, what do you two think about all this?"

Chapter 2095.

Gently pulling his beard, Endo then said,

"...I don't think dealing with him outside the palace would be easy. Since Takuya already knew that we were trying to kill his daughter, he would definitely have guards around Gerald at all times, especially when he left the house. After all, he was an honored guest for Futaba."

After hearing that, Ryugu then turned to look at the other man before asking, Ryugu said,

"And what about you, Izumi?"

Sucking the cigarette he just lit, Izumi then replied, Izumi,

"Endo pretty much said what I wanted. If we really plan on doing things outdoors, by the time our subordinates take out Futaba's bodyguards, I'm sure there will already be eyewitnesses. With how famous our family is, it is no exaggeration to say that one of them will recognize us. If that happens, the news of us killing our fellow Japanese will definitely spread like wildfire."

"My mind exactly. It's too risky to do things outside. That's why I suggested committing murder inside the manor from the very beginning. Although it might be a bit difficult to do so, at the very least, we will not be visible to outsiders. Anyway, I'm not asking the two of you to stay here just to listen to your ideas. As you may have expected, I assigned the two of you to complete this mission. I can't help but worry if I leave the mission to the others."

Ryugu said as he looked at the two men.

A week is too short for there to be room for error. If they fail to get rid of Gerald in their first attempt, there will be no second. At that time, they will inevitably fail Kai's mission and Ryugu's fate - to drop his position - will be sealed.

After hearing that, however, Endo and Izumi exchanged glances - clearly not expecting Ryugu to suggest that - before replying, instead,

"You want us to do it?"

Hearing that, Ryugu frowned slightly as he replied,

"..What, you don't want to?"

"No... We're really ready for that, it's just... We don't think you're gonna need both of us just to get one guest out of Futabas,"

Endo said while shaking his head.

After all, the last time he was paired with Izumi, they were assigned to kill the organization leader *******. Due to their excellent teamwork, the****** did not even realize that their leader had been murdered until some time after Endo and Izumi secretly returned to Japan. It only took them two days to accomplish.

With that in mind, it puzzled them that Ryugu decided to order the two of them to fulfill such a simple task.

In their perspective, just ordering one of them should be enough, and it's a waste of time and resources if both of them go together.

"I understand where you're from, but I have a feeling that Gerald won't be an easy target. After Kai gave me the mission, I asked him to give me some more details. Apparently, Gerald managed to save Fujiko and left Kanagawa's palace unscathed. Adding to the fact that Kai wanted him dead so badly, I have reason to believe that Gerald was capable enough. While I know that both of you are equally capable, we only have one chance for this. Once the Futaba's warned that we're after Gerald's head, everything will be gone."

Ryugu replied with a sigh before lighting a cigarette.

"understandable. Izumi and I will work together then. If there's nothing else, we'll start preparing for that mission,"

Endo said while nodding.

"Good to hear. Remember, Gerald must die without Futaba watching you. If you get caught, kill them too. There is no evidence left!"

Ryugu replied as he waved his hand. To be honest, she began to regret agreeing to Kai's request.
