The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2192

Regardless, after hearing that, Suke bowed toward Sujin before leaving the area.

Once Suke was gone, Sujin slammed his fist against the table before growling, “Who exactly is Gerald?! Why the hell does he have contacts within the Yamashita family?! And where the hell are Endo and Izumi!”

This was supposed to be an easy affair! How had things gotten this complicated? Whatever the case was, until they got rid of Gerald, nothing could proceed!

Upon hearing Endo and Izumi’s names, Ryugu was momentarily stunned. After all, he hadn’t told Suijin about their disappearances yet! Now that he knew that he couldn’t hide it any longer, Ryugu gulped as he stuttered, “T-they…”
