Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2116

Upon hearing that, Ryugu paused for a moment before considerably calming down and saying, “…

You’re right.”

Just as Takeshi had said, Gerald had easily murdered so many Hanyus in such a short amount of time.

That was a feat so difficult to pull off that even Ryugu was unsure whether he’d be able to do the same.

What more, Gerald didn’t even have a single scratch on him. In other words, the battle had been extremely one-sided. The newfound realization of how powerful Gerald truly was immediately sent cold sweat running down Ryugu’s forehead…

Though Ryugu had previously refused to believe that Endo and Izumi could get taken down by anyone from the Futaba manor, he now knew how wrong he was.

Seeing how silent the impulsive Ryugu had gotten all of a sudden, Gerald couldn’t help but smile sinisterly as he asked, “Hmm? What happened to all that vigor?”

Upon hearing that, Ryugu took in a few deep breaths while wondering how to proceed. Eventually, he figured that it would be best not to further provoke Gerald, at least for the time being.

With that, Ryugu was prompted to say, “… Since you’re a guest of the Futaba family, I’m willing to just let everything slide as long as you hand Endo and Izumi back to us!”

“Don’t even dream about getting them back. Regardless, listen closely. If you tell me the full details of why you made a move on the Futabas whether it’s due to the family feud or someone told you to go after them, I may consider sparing you,” replied Gerald in an indifferent tone while crossing his arms.

Though Gerald now knew that Ryugu was the leader of the Hanyu family’s Assassination department, he couldn’t help but look at the man with disdain. After all, Gerald knew that he could probably take Ryugu out without even using the Herculean Primordial Spirit’s powers.

Regardless, upon hearing what Gerald had to say, Ryugu’s anger immediately skyrocketed again.

Glaring daggers at Gerald, Ryugu then clenched his fists as he roared, “How arrogant..! Since you’re unwilling to cooperate, have it your way! I’ll show you the true strength of the Hanyu family’s assassins…!”

“W-wait! Leader…! Calm down…!” cried out Takeshi as he immediately attempted to calm Ryugu down again.

Though Takeshi knew that Ryugu was capable of taking on hundreds of special forces soldiers at a time without breaking a sweat, he also knew that Ryugu wasn’t a match for Gerald. After all, Gerald had managed to subdue both Endo and Izumi…! While he didn’t dare tell Ryugu that he could very well end up like his dead men on the ground, Takeshi knew that the probability of that happening was exceedingly high!

Either way, Ryugu simply responded to that by slapping Takeshi!

“Out of my way! ” roared Ryugu as he continued marchng toward Gerald.

Takeshi himself simply covered his bruised cheek as he stepped to the side where the only surviving assassin from earlier was also standing, not dating to say another word. Knowing that neither of them would be able to stop their leader now, they wondered if he really stood a chance against Gerald…

As for Fujiko, she found herself tugging Gerald’s sleeve while whispering, “… Be careful… He’s a strong one…”

Smiling faintly as he got into a fighting stance, Gerald then replied, “Don’t worry. I’m strong enough to deal with him.”

Gerald, for one, knew that if he successfully solved the Futaba family’s issue with the Hanyus, he would be able to fully gain Takuya’s trust. In other words, he’d get closer than ever to solving the secrets of the Seadom tribe. With any luck, he’d be able to head to Yearning Island in the near future…

Whatever the case was, upon seeing how confident Gerald was, Fujiko took a few steps back to avoid getting in the way before saying, “… Alright. Good luck…!”
