After hearing what Kai had to say, the four subordinates exchanged glances before saying, “…We suppose you’re right!”
Just as Kai had said, even if the assassins did fail to kill Gerald, they probably wouldn’t expose who had hired them. While this probably meant that more money needed to be spent, what was money to the Kanagawas? Honestly, hiring a hitman was probably cheaper than what Kai was used to spending at bars every night!
“Then that settles it! Hurry and use my name to contact the top ten assassins on the list! The closer they are to us, the sooner that b*stard dies! Also, make sure to tell them that if they fulfill their mission, I’ll increase their payment to up to thirty percent higher than the market price!” declared Kai as he slapped his thigh.
After all that had happened, Kai knew better than to trust the Hanyus with this case. Not only would relying on them be a waste of time, but he was pretty sure that the deposit he paid them was going to end up being a complete waste of money as well.
Regardless, just as Kai’s subordinate fished his phone out, the man suddenly froze before turning to look at Kai and whispering, “…Um… Mr. Kanagawa…?”
“…What? Just say it already!” muttered the impatient Kai.
Gulping, the subordinate then stuttered, “W-well… If the master learns about all this…”
Aside from being Kai’s subordinates, these men were also members of the Kanagawa family. With that in mind, the subordinates knew that if anything happened to Kai, they would have to bear full responsibility. It was the reason why they always notified the Kanagawa patriarch whenever Kai stepped out of line. Doing so prompted the patriarch to step forward and resolve the matter…
All of Kai’s men knew that if things went south—and they didn’t report any of this to the patriarch—, none of them would be able to bear the responsibility…!
Hearing that, Kai sighed before taking a cigarette out and lighting it. Puffing onto it for a moment, he eventually said in a low voice, “…How long have you men worked for me?’
“Almost ten years by now, young master!” replied the men in unison.
“Since I’ve never asked about the specifics of what you reported to my father throughout these years—not that I’m blaming you—, I only ask in return that you don’t inform him about what I’m about to do. Just this once,” said Kai with a frown.
