The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2146

“…I feel that Ryugu wouldn’t lie about this,” replied Kai as he shook his head. Though he didn’t contact Ryugu much, he understood the man’s character well.

“…But if what he said was true, then Gerald truly has inhuman strength…! He’s definitely not someone we can deal with! Do you think he’s related to those Weston cultivators…?” asked the subordinate who knew about these things since he had been working for Kai for so many years.

“Can it!” retorted Kai as he frowned deeply. Cultivators—in general—couldn’t be talked about so casually. Even though Kai and his subordinate weren’t cultivators, if word got out about the existence of cultivators—and the cultivators found that they were the source of the information leak—, they would surely be ruined!

Even though Kai was no stranger to using his family’s name to commit all sorts of crimes, he knew better than to pick a bone with cultivators. He, for one, understood that even his family would be burdened by all this—if such a scenario came to be—, so he wasn’t counting on them to protect him.

“I-I’m sorry, Mr. Kanagawa! P-putting that aside… should we start investigating Gerald…?” asked the subordinate as he immediately lowered his head.

“…Leave him be for the moment. There’s something else that’s much more important at the moment,” said Kai with a sigh.

“…Are… you referring to the relationship between the Futabas and the Yamashitas…?” asked the subordinate.

“If that’s the case, I just need to hire the top ten assassins to finish Gerald off, right? With their level of expertise, I’m sure they can do the deed without the Futaba and Yamashita family’s knowledge!” declared Kai as he held onto his chin.

“That’s definitely a viable solution, Mr. Kanagawa! However… if Gerald really is as strong as Ryugu described him to be… What if the assassins fail to take him out…?” asked the subordinate.

“…What? Those from the top ten are capable enough to assassinate presidents from the Western Union! With that said, there’s no way they’d have trouble dealing with a small fry like Gerald! At the very least, even if they do fail to kill him, I believe that their professional ethics will protect our identities! Because of that, I have no doubts that this mission will be completed without a hitch once I hire them!”
