The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2118

Caught completely by surprise, Ryugu almost toppled right next to Gerald, though he managed to balance himself in time. At that moment, the dagger—that had been in his hand just seconds ago—could be seen flipping in the air… and soon after, it lodged itself into the dirt…

Eyes widened, Ryugu immediately began looking for what had intercepted his attack… and soon enough, he saw what it was. It was a shuriken, of all things!

Annoyed that he had missed his chance to kill Gerald because of it, Ryugu immediately roared, “Who the hell did that!”

The second Ryugu said that, a hoarse voice could be heard saying, “A bit bold of you to be fighting in the Yamashita family’s territory, don’t you think?”

Following that, a hunchbacked old man seemed to appear out of thin air, instantly startling everyone! How had he concealed his presence so perfectly…?

Quickly snapping out of it, Fujiko then leaned closer to Gerald while whispering, “That’s most probably an elder of the Yamashita family…”

Though she didn’t know much about the Yamashitas, from how the person acted and dressed, it was pretty evident that the old man was the real deal.

Nodding in response, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly wary of the old man. After all, under normal circumstances, his Herculean Primordial Spirit would warn him whenever cultivators or strong men were around. However, he had only sensed the old man’s presence from the moment the shuriken was thrown…

“…Regardless, I’m only here because I was on my way to settle some grudges with that person. I never thought he’d enter your territory! Either way, I’d like to make it clear that I’m not here to cause you any trouble! With that said, once I take care of him, I’ll leave immediately!” declared Ryugu as he glared at Gerald.

Waving his hand rather nonchalantly, the old man then replied, “Before any of that… Since you’ve entered my family’s territory, do come over to my place as guests. We’ll peacefully talk about your grudges, and by the end of it all, we can hopefully settle this dispute without any bloodshed… How does that sound?”

Naturally, Ryugu was startled to hear that. After hesitating slightly, he eventually shook his head before saying, “…I’m fine with that! Besides, I’ve been meaning to visit your family for quite some time now, so this is the perfect opportunity for me to do so!”

Though the Yamashitas were known for their ninjas, Ryugu wasn’t all that afraid of them. After all, despite how mysterious ninjas were, Ryugu was pretty sure that the Hanyu’s assassins weren’t any weaker in comparison…
