The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2096

Had he not done so, he could’ve simply focused on investigating the person who had intercepted Saburo’s attack! Oh, how he yearned to not have this extra weight on his back…! Truth be told, Suijin—who probably knew how difficult the case was—was already being quite understanding for giving him half a month to investigate…

If only he hadn’t taken up Kai’s mission, then he would’ve had much more time to investigate, thus lowering his chances of getting punished! Whatever the case was, getting rid of Gerald was now as important as finding Saburo’s assailant…

Either way, Endo—who was quite confident with his strength—then nodded before saying, “Worry not! Since both of us are in this together, the mission will surely be a success! If luck is on our side, we may even be able to bring you good news by tomorrow morning!”

Endo, for one, was so strong that he could easily take on ten Japanese Special Forces members at a time, and Ryugu knew that. With that in mind, Ryugu sighed as he replied, “Let’s just hope that that’s the case…”

Following that, he gestured for them to leave. All he wanted to do now was to get some rest without having to think about anything else for a while…

With that said, Endo and Izumi then bowed before Ryugu before leaving together…

Part of the preparation process included getting their respective teams ready, and the two were prepared to select their best men for the job. After all, the Futabas were already on high alert after finding out about Saburo’s assassination attempt. With that in mind, this mission had to be carried out flawlessly…

Moving back to Gerald, after Ryuuka had left, Gerald returned to his room—in the Futaba manor—before giving Aiden a call to learn about their situation in the past few days. After being updated by Aiden, Gerald told him to pass the phone to Master Ghost for a bit.

After finding out that they were both safe, Gerald couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Still, it wasn’t all that surprising. After all, he was the one people were looking for trouble with, not them.

“I’ll head there in a bit,” replied Gerald as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He would have to think about the sea map later. With that, he got off the bed and slipped on his coat.

Shortly after, Gerald arrived at the dining room. As usual, he was having dinner with Takuya and his daughter, with several of Takuya’s subordinates standing at the ready, occasionally serving them with more food…

Gerald, for one, could clearly see that Takuya hadn’t smiled much ever since that meeting with the other Futabas. Though Takuya had claimed that it didn’t bother him, it was obvious that that was a lie. In the end, he was still the head of the family, and having to watch his family gradually fall apart was definitely a sad thing…

Either way, after a brief silence, Takuya placed both his hands on his knees before saying in a slightly embarrassed tone, “The… special forces competition is going to be held in less than a week, Mr. Crawford… With that in mind, if you head there to support your friend, please keep an eye out on Fujiko as well… I’m just worried that Hanyus will try assassinating her again…”
