Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2123 “They left through the back door, though they didn’t tell me where they were headed to,” replied the old man as he shook his head.
Now understanding that he wouldn’t find out where they had gone to no matter how much he asked, Ryugu immediately said, “Pardon me, but I’ll be taking my leave now!”
As he left the house, he figured that in the end, Gerald and Fujiko would still end up participating in the special forces competition. With that in mind, he knew that his best bet was to put them aside for now… After all, though he was the leader of the Hanyu’s assassination department, he wasn’t too keen on disrupting the activities of the war department. What more, since the competition was international, special forces from all over the globe would be present. Because of that, if he created a mess there, it’d surely cause his family a great deal of trouble…
Still, though he failed to capture Gerald this time, the trip wasn’t a complete disappointment. After all, he now knew that Endo and Izumi really were in the Futaba manor.
What more, since the old man had allowed Gerald and Fujiko to leave, he was now pretty sure that the Yamashitas had a special relationship with the Futabas. The fact that Takuya and a much younger Fujiko had met the old man before certainly solidified that theory.
Putting all this into consideration, Ryugu now believed that the one who had intercepted Saburo’s assassination attempt must have been one of the Yamashita’s ninjas…
With that in mind, Ryugu found himself feeling much better. After all, if all this was true, then he was sure that Gerald and the others wouldn’t dare to kill Endo and Izumi. Their deaths would be equivalent to declaring war on the Hanyus, after all, and Ryugu was pretty sure that the current Futabas wouldn’t dare to do something that drastic.
Whatever the case was, he soon found himself returning to the spot where he had first fought Gerald. Upon seeing Gerald’s SUV and all his dead men who were still lying on the ground, Ryugu couldn’t help but sigh.
Realizing that Ryugu had returned, Takeshi then ran toward him before asking, “Huh? Weren’t you planning to wait there, leader? Why have you left so soon after? Could it be that you’ve already killed Gerald?”
“…They’ve escaped,” replied Ryugu as he shook his head. Though he had initially planned on taking his anger out on Takeshi, he changed his mind at the last second.
Regardless, Takeshi’s eyes immediately widened as he said, “… H-huh…?”
“…Let’s not talk about this first. Either way, did none of them survive…?” replied Ryugu as he waved his hand. He already had a plan to deal with all this, so he really didn’t want to bring down his mood again by talking about all this.
“Unfortunately, none of them survived… Well, except for the one who was still standing when we came over earlier. You! Explain all that happened to the leader!” called out Takeshi as he looked at the assassin who survived.
“Leader! My name is Kenshiro, and as for Gerald… he’s monstrously strong…! In barely a few seconds, he had killed all of these man…! All of them died in a single strike, and it all happened so quickly that none of us could even fight back! Had both of you arrived a few seconds later, there’s a high chance that I would’ve been killed too…! ” reported the shivering man after walking up to Ryugu.
“… What? In just a few seconds? And none of you were even able to fight back…?” muttered the flabbergasted Ryugu. Though he knew that Gerald had probably killed them quickly, a few seconds was simply too much…!
Still, this man wouldn’t lie to him, and Ryugu knew that for a fact With that in mind, Gerald’s capabilities were more terrifying than he could ever imagine… Hell, now that he knew all this, Ryugu wondered if he was even a match for Gerald anymore…
