The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2103

Still blushing slightly, Fujiko then nodded as she replied, “…R-right, right… You head to bed early too then…”

Though the night had been a dangerous one, she couldn’t help but feel pleased after hearing what Gerald had said. Regardless, she was then promptly accompanied back to her room’s entrance before she finally parted ways with Gerald…

Gerald himself removed his coat and poured himself a glass of cold water the second he returned to his room. Once he was seated on a chair, he began thinking about the two assassins.

Since his trip to Japan had been highly confidential, he doubted that they had been sent by his old enemies. However, those two were able to address him by name. With that in mind, whoever it was who had sent them, they had definitely done their homework before setting the assassination plan into motion…

‘But who could it be…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he puffed on his cigarette.

After thinking about it for a while, Gerald managed to come up with a few individuals—who lived in Japan—who possibly had old grudges against him. Even so, no matter how much he stretched it, all of them didn’t really seem to have the balls to confront him. Besides, it’s not like they would even know that he had come to Japan.

With that in mind, the assassins must’ve been sent by individuals whom he had offended in his most recent trip here… From what he could gather, that included the special forces soldiers from Yanam, the Kanagawas, and the Hanyus…

Though he included the soldiers from Yanam into the equation, they were the most improbable of the bunch. After all, none of them had managed to find any evidence that he was the one responsible for Adler’s disappearance. Besides, he was pretty sure that the Yanam military had already been scared out of their wits by him.

Gerald, for one, believed that Carter—who had acted so cowardly before him back then—wouldn’t dare to send assassins after him, unless, of course, that man didn’t wish to be the acting leader of the military anymore…

Regardless, that boiled down the list to the Kanagawas and the Hanyus. though Gerald’s money was on the Kanagawas…

Either way, upon hearing that, the other man yawned as he replied, “Unfortunately, we can’t just disobey the patriarch’s orders!”

Understanding that they could’ve gotten a good night’s rest had it not been for Takuya’s orders, Gerald simply shook his head while saying, “Look, just go. If the patriarch gets angry about you leaving, just tell him that I was the one who told you to leave.”

Since Gerald believed that these two wouldn’t be able to protect him anyway, the fact that they were wasting all their energy here made him feel slightly bad for them.

Regardless, upon hearing that, the duo immediately bowed while declaring, “T-thank you, Mr. Crawford!”

Following that, they swiftly left for their bedrooms…
