Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2198 After saying that, however, Suijin couldn’t help but look at Ryugu. While he definitely hadn’t hired that assassin, it didn’t mean that Ryugu couldn’t have done the deed. After all, he had already sent Endo and Izumi out on that mission without his knowledge.
“Is that so…” replied Gerald as he turned to look at Ryugu as well.
Realizing that they were both staring at him, Ryugu couldn’t help but grit his teeth. Suijin’s distrust toward him now was all thanks to Gerald! With that in mind, he then glared at the youth before growling, “I didn’t do it..! I’d never do such a humiliating thing! Now cut the cr*p and return Endo and Izumi to us already!”
“Feel free to take them away! After all, keeping them in the Futaba manor is pretty pointless now. Oh, and don’t forget the stretchers! ” replied Gerald as he casually shrugged.
“You…!” 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 assassins…!
Though Suijin was equally as angry since he was the patriarch, he kept his emotions concealed as he asked, “… Allow me to ask again. Why have you come here today, mister?”
“As I’ve said, I just happened to pass by, so I figured why not pay your family a visit,” replied Gerald in a casual tone.
“Nobody 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,” sneered Suijin.
Laughing in response, Gerald then replied, “You? Straightforward? Would a straightforward person send assassins over to kill me and miss Futaba?”
Frowning, Suijin then said, “Are you still trying to get an explanation?”
“I’m glad you’re capable of reading between the lines,” replied Gerald who wanted to resolve the grudges between the Hanyus and Futabas before dealing with the Kanagawas.
“As I’ve previously said, this is a feud between my family and the Futabas. Since you’re merely a guest, it’d do you good not to get involved in this. As for why we attacked you, let’s just say that it was a mistake on our part!” 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 wouldn’t be able to take Gerald on if the boy really wanted them dead. Following that, his life would be next on the line.
“A mistake, you say… Well, if that truly is the case, then I’ll be able to say this next part much easier. On behalf of the Futaba family, I hereby declare that we won’t provoke the Hanyus from this day onward! In return, I hope that you’ll cease your ulterior motives and stop coveting after the Futabas, patriarch! Deal?” asked Gerald as he raised a slight brow.
“Deal!” declared Suijin without the slightest hesitation, much to Gerald’s surprise.
“… Well, then. Since you’ve agreed to it, we’ll see how things play out. I warn you, however. If any of you even dare lay a finger on the Futabas, I won’ t let you off that easily! Hell, even if you send someone to kill one of their chickens, my response will be the same!”
