“…You’re saying the Futabas have been in contact with the Yamashitas for that long…?” replied Suijin who was rightfully surprised. After all, though the two families hadn’t had any conflict in decades, all the patriarchs of the Hanyu family—Sujin included—had made sure to secretly and consistently keep tabs on the Futaba. With that in mind, how had all the previous patriarchs failed to find out about this?
“…With that said, should we still make a move on the Futabas…? After all, now that we know that they have a good relationship with the Yamashitas, we can’t just cause the Futabas all willy-nilly anymore…” muttered Ryugu who was honestly getting a little worried.
After all, the Yamashitas were exceedingly strong. Truth be told, he wondered whether he would even be a match for that shuriken-throwing old man if they got into a serious battle…
Either way, after thinking about it for a while, Sujin eventually said, “…For the time being, let’s not make any further moves on the Futabas.”
“Very well! However, about Gerald… Kai’s been pushing me to kill him, stating that he’ll personally call you if Gerald isn’t dead within a week. Four days have passed since then…” replied Ryugu.
“Don’t bother about him. A second-generation kid like him could never threaten us,” sneered Suijin who had never really highly regarded the Kanagawas despite their immense status in Japan.
“Understood!” replied Ryugu, feeling much more relaxed now. With what Suijin had just said, Ryugu knew that he could finally handle Kai the next time that brat called him again.
“Now that all that is out of the way, let’s put everything aside for the time being. I’m a bit tired… Before you leave, I emphasize that until we learn more about the Futaba and Yamashita’s relationship, nobody is allowed to make a move on that family! This includes making a move against Gerald!” said Sujin as he looked at all three of them.
Smacking the back of Aiden’s head, Gerald simply replied, “Stop playing around and go train already…”
Chuckling in response Aiden then rubbed the back of his head as he said, “While I haven’t interacted much with Miss Fujiko, she clearly likes you, brother Gerald. Since she’s a member of the Seadom tribe, you’ll surely get to learn about the secrets of Yearning Island in no time!”
“Spout any more nonsense and Master Ghost and I are leaving,” grumbled Gerald with a slight frown…
