Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2198
After saying that, however, Suijin couldnât help but look at Ryugu. While he definitely hadnât hired that assassin, it didnât mean that Ryugu couldnât have done the deed. After all, he had already sent Endo and Izumi out on that mission without his knowledge.
âIs that soâ¦â replied Gerald as he turned to look at Ryugu as well.
Realizing that they were both staring at him, Ryugu couldnât help but grit his teeth. Suijinâs distrust toward him now was all thanks to Gerald! With that in mind, he then glared at the youth before growling, âI didnât do it..! Iâd never do such a humiliating thing! Now cut the cr*p and return Endo and Izumi to us already!â
âFeel free to take them away! After all, keeping them in the Futaba manor is pretty pointless now. Oh, and donât forget the stretchers! â replied Gerald as he casually shrugged.
âYouâ¦!â hissed Ryugu in utter resentment. Endo and Izumi were both mighty Hanyu assassins! If they truly ended up dying, then Ryugu would need at least ten more years to raise two similar leaders, and that only applied if the ones he trained were naturally talented assassinsâ¦!
Though Suijin was equally as angry since he was the patriarch, he kept his emotions concealed as he asked, â⦠Allow me to ask again. Why have you come here today, mister?â
âAs Iâve said, I just happened to pass by, so I figured why not pay your family a visit,â replied Gerald in a casual tone.
âNobody would buy that, mister. Look, I get along better with straightforward people. With that said, if you still refuse to say a thing, I implore you to just leave already,â sneered Suijin.
Laughing in response, Gerald then replied, âYou? Straightforward? Would a straightforward person send assassins over to kill me and miss Futaba?â
Frowning, Suijin then said, âAre you still trying to get an explanation?â
âIâm glad youâre capable of reading between the lines,â replied Gerald who wanted to resolve the grudges between the Hanyus and Futabas before dealing with the Kanagawas.
âAs Iâve previously said, this is a feud between my family and the Futabas. Since youâre merely a guest, itâd do you good not to get involved in this. As for why we attacked you, letâs just say that it was a mistake on our part!â growled Suijin as he continued to suppress his rage, not wanting to accidentally infuriate Gerald.
After all, Suijin knew for a fact that the assassin team outside wouldnât be able to take Gerald on if the boy really wanted them dead. Following that, his life would be next on the line.
âA mistake, you say⦠Well, if that truly is the case, then Iâll be able to say this next part much easier.
On behalf of the Futaba family, I hereby declare that we wonât provoke the Hanyus from this day onward! In return, I hope that youâll cease your ulterior motives and stop coveting after the Futabas, patriarch! Deal?â asked Gerald as he raised a slight brow.
âDeal!â declared Suijin without the slightest hesitation, much to Geraldâs surprise.
â⦠Well, then. Since youâve agreed to it, weâll see how things play out. I warn you, however. If any of you even dare lay a finger on the Futabas, I wonâ t let you off that easily! Hell, even if you send someone to kill one of their chickens, my response will be the same!â
