Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2095
Gently pulling on his goatee, Endo then said, ââ¦I donât think dealing with him outside the manor is going to be easy. Since Takuya already knows that we tried to assassinate his daughter, heâll surely have guards around Gerald at all times, especially when he leaves the house. After all, he is a distinguished guest to the Futabas.â
After hearing that, Ryugu then turned to look at the other man before asking, âAnd what about you, Izumi?â
Puffing on the cigarette he had just lit, Izumi then replied, âEndo pretty much said what I wanted to. If we really do plan on doing things outdoors, by the time our subordinates take out the Futaba bodyguards, Iâm sure there will already be eyewitnesses. With how famous our family is, it isnât a stretch to say that one of them will recognize us. If that happens, news about us assassinating fellow Japanese people will surely spread like wildfire.â
âMy thoughts exactly. Itâs simply too risky to do things outside. Itâs why I suggested doing the assassination within the manor in the first place. While it may be a bit difficult to pull it off, at the very least, we wonât be seen by outsiders. Regardless, I didnât request for both of you to stay here just to listen to your ideas. As you may already have guessed, Iâm tasking both of you to Complete this mission. I just canât help but worry if I leave the mission to the others,â said Ryugu as he stared at the two men.
A week was simply far too short for there to be any room for error. If they failed to get rid of Gerald in their first attempt, there wouldnât be a second one. By that point, they would surely fail Kaiâs mission and Ryuguâs fate of dropping his position would be sealedâ¦
Regardless, upon hearing that, Endo and Izumi exchanged glances clearly not expecting Ryugu to even suggest that before replying, âYou want us to do it?â
Hearing that, Ryugu frowned slightly as he replied, â⦠What, you donât want to?â
âNo⦠Weâre definitely up for it, just⦠We didnât think youâd need both of us just to take out a single guest of the Futabas,â said Endo as he shook his head.
After all, the last time he had been paired with Izumi, they were tasked with killing the leader of a terrorist organization. Due to their excellent teamwork, the terrorists werenât even aware that their leaders had been assassinated until quite some time after Endo and Izumi had stealthily returned to Japan. All that had simply taken them two days to accomplish.
With that in mind, it puzzled them that Ryugu decided to order both of them to fulfill such a simple task.
In their perspective, just ordering one of them shouldâve sufficed, and that it was a waste of time and resources if both of them went together.
âI get where youâre coming from, but I have a feeling that Gerald isnât going to be all that easy a target.
After Kai gave me the mission, I asked him to give me a few more details. Apparently, Gerald had managed to save Fujiko and leave the Kanagawa manor completely unscathed. Adding that to the fact that Kai wants him dead so much, I have reason to believe that Gerald is quite capable. While I know that both of you are equally capable, we only have one shot at this. Once the Futabas are alerted that weâre after Geraldâs head, everything will be lost,â replied Ryugu as he sighed before lighting a cigarette.
âUnderstood. Izumi and I will work together then. If there isnât anything else, weâll start preparing ourselves for the mission,â said Endo with a nod.
âGlad to hear it. Remember, Gerald must die without any of the Futabas noticing you. If you get caught, kill them too. No evidence should be left behind!â replied Ryugu as he waved his hand.
Honestly, he was starting to regret agreeing to Kaiâs requestâ¦
