The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2092
âG-got itâ¦! â replied Ryuuka as he immediately nodded, fearing that Kai would fly into a rage if he didnât agree.
Whatever the case was, though Ryuuka was well aware that the family head had the final say in things like these, he also knew that the patriarch deeply adored Kai. With that in mind, if he ever chose to disobey Kai, Ryuuka knew that the family head wouldnât step in to back him up. In fact, Ryuuka was pretty sure that the family head would simply kick him out of the family, just to please Kai!
âIâm glad you do. Now leave and resume work. Also, remember to notify me if thereâs anything else,â
said Kai in a slightly impatient tone as he gestured for Ryuuka to leave.
Kai, for one, knew better than to make a move when Gerald was still alive. After all, that b*stard could easily reveal all that had happened that night! With that in mind, though he eagerly wanted to get Fujiko back from the Futabas, Kai understood that his current best play was to have the Hanyu assassins finish Gerald off first. Once Gerald âmysteriouslyâ disappeared off the face of the planet, Kai would finally be able to do as he pleased without any repercussionsâ¦!
Regardless, upon hearing that, Ryuuka who already had beads of cold sweat rolling down his forehead quickly replied, âT-then if thereâs nothing else, Iâll be taking my leaveâ¦â
âJust get out already!â grumbled Kai as Ryuuka bolted out of the roomâ¦
Once Ryuuka was no longer there, Kaiâs eyes instantly went gloomy again. Clenching his fists, he knew that if word about what he had done that night got out to the police, Gerald would be first in line to expose all his misdoings. If things really did get to that point, then Kai would surely be doomed for goodâ¦! With that in mind, Kai couldnât help but call Ryugu againâ¦
The second Ryugu picked up, he immediately said, âKai? How can I help you?â
âLetâs not beat around the bush. When do you plan on finishing Gerald off?â asked Kai who had gotten slightly nervous again after learning of what Ryuuka had earlier done at the Futaba manor. If Gerald had considered Ryuukaâs actions as a challenge, then he could easily expose Kaiâs misdoings at any time he pleased!
âWith all due respect, Kai, itâs just been a few days. Remember, Geraldâs not some run off the mill beggar that we can easily take out without any repercussions. Heâs a guest of the Futabas! Besides, while Iâm not sure what he did at your place, Iâm sure Takuya will be much more protective over Gerald now. With that said, it isnât exactly easy to kill him,â replied Ryugu in a slightly helpless tone. Still, he knew better than to be sassy with Kai, so he held his tongue.
âDo you think I care? Look, finish the job in a week. If Gerald hasnât vanished off the face of the planet by then, youâd better start thinking about how youâll explain the situation to the patriarch!â growled Kai before instantly hanging up.
With his phone still against his ear, Ryugu could only stare into the distance for a while. Seven days he said⦠Ryugu wondered if he would even be able to break into the Futaba manor by then⦠Even after he found a way to sneak in, he would still need to locate Gerald and do further planning for the assassination⦠A week was simply too short!
Still, he knew he couldnât just disobey Kaiâs orders. After all, Kai was the powerful and influential young master of the Kanagawa family, a family that was much more powerful than the Hanyus, at least in Japanâ¦
As if that wasnât troubling enough, he was already in hot water with Suijin since he had failed to locate the individual who had thwarted Saburoâs assassination attempt⦠If Kai reported his inability to Suijin as well, then he would really have to drop his position as the leader of the assassination teamâ¦!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was the leader of the assassination team for heavenâs sake! Second only to Sujin within the Hanyu family! Hell, throughout Japan, even most of the prestigious people and high ranking officials had to pay him some degree of respect! Everything used to go his way! How had he fallen so much in just half a month?!
âF*cking hellâ¦! Where the hell do all these problems keep coming from?!â roared the angered Ryugu as he slammed his fist onto the mahogany table beside him, causing it to smash into a million piecesâ¦!
