The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2113

“Get the physical map out!” ordered Ryugu the second he hung up.

Immediately doing as Ryugu ordered, Takeshi then retrieved the map and unrolled it before him…

Alternating his gaze between the car navigation screen and the physical map, Ryugu traced the route that Gerald had taken… before his finger finally stopped atop the barren mountain. According to the GPS, the two cars truly had entered the Yamashita family’s territory!

“D*mn it! What the hell is Gerald doing in the Yamashita family’s territory?! What kind of relationship does he have with them?!” grumbled Ryugu as he slammed his fist into his seat.

“…Leader… Do you think… that the man who thwarted Saburo’s assassination plan could be a ninja from the Yamashita family…?” speculated Takeshi.

“…A possibility certainly exists… However, I’ve never really met any of the ninjas from that family… Hell, I’ve never even heard of any connections between the Futabas and the Yamashitas!” replied Ryugu as he scratched the back of his head, wondering how things had suddenly gotten so complicated…

Pretty much every powerful family in Japan knew about the Yamashita’s ninjas. However, since nobody had ever seen any of their ninjas, there were rumors that the ninjas were only the stuff of legends and weren’t actually real…

Regardless, after a brief pause, Takeshi then added, “So… should we continue with our mission…? Or should I order our men to retreat…?”

The second Gerald said that, eight men—each wielding either a dagger or a steel pipe—got out of the cars. However, they didn’t rush forward. Instead, they simply glared at Gerald from afar…

Though they hadn’t fought him before, they had all heard rumors that Gerald had defeated Endo and Izumi. With that in mind, they all knew there was a high possibility that they would die if they simply charged forward!

Adding that to the fact that Ryugu had only ordered them to tail Gerald—rather than assassinate him—, none of the eight men planned to make a move.

Seeing that they weren’t budging from their spots, Gerald then added, “Since we’re all already here, why don’t you tell me which family you come from already!”
