The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2115

Just by looking at the man, Gerald could already tell that Ryugu was slightly stronger than the duo from last night…

Whatever the case was, Fujiko then replied, “Indeed. It’s just as you had predicted… At the start, I wasn’t too sure if the Hanyus were really the ones responsible for all this. Now that I think about it, however, with how strong Endo and Izumi were, I should’ve known better. Either way, since the two were clearly stronger than the men you just killed, I’m assuming that they’re team leaders for some of the more minor assassination teams.”

“I see… If that’s the case, then I guess there’s no need for further interrogation. I’ll just finish these people off and be done for the day. After losing two team leaders and a department leader, I’m sure the Hanyus will lay low for a while,” replied Gerald as his hand reached out to get another cigarette… only to realize that the box was empty.

Watching as Gerald tossed the empty box of cigarettes to the ground, Fujiko—who hardly ever saw Gerald without a cigarette in his mouth—couldn’t help but frown as she said, “…You know, smoking this much is going to affect your health one day…”

Fujiko, for one, didn’t really mind the smell of cigarette smoke. After all, many of the men in the army smoked just as much as Gerald did. She was simply genuinely worried about Gerald’s health.

“…I’ll keep that in mind,” replied Gerald who was momentarily startled to hear that. After all, aside from Mila, Fujiko had been the only other person who cared about his smoking addiction.

The truth was, Gerald had only started smoking again after Mila went missing. It was the only way he could keep himself sedated enough to not think about her all the time.

Shaking his head, Gerald then slid his hands into his pockets before stepping forward and asking, “So… Ryugu, was it? You’re not the first assassin I’ve come across from your family. Regardless, do you have anything you wish to talk to me about? I’m assuming so since you had your men tail us all the way here.”

Upon hearing that, Ryugu immediately stomped forward, consistently pointing at Gerald as he yelled, “Where the hell are Endo and Izumi, Gerald…!”

“No idea who they are,” replied Gerald as he casually shrugged.

“You… You’re courting death, Gerald...!” roared Ryugu, whose anger had peaked. Had Gerald not had the information he needed, he would’ve strangled that boy by now…!

Seeing how angered Ryugu was, Gerald then pointed at the corpses—on the ground—while saying, “I wouldn’t rush forward if I were you. Come too close and you’ll be dead, just like them!”

Unable to hold himself back anymore, Ryugu was just about to bolt toward Gerald when he suddenly felt Takeshi grabbing onto his arm.

Glaring at him, Ryugu then growled, “Unhand me!”

“Leader, that man is obviously extremely powerful…! Remember, not only did he defeat Endo and Izumi, but he also took out most of my men in no time flat! With that in mind, we can’t act impulsively…!” whispered Takeshi.
