The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2197

“With that said, both of them are currently on the verge of death. I’m afraid you’ll have to bring stretchers along if you truly wish to rescue them. Otherwise, they’ll probably not make it,” replied Gerald as he stared Suijin directly in the eye…

“…I-is that so…” replied Suijin, his hands already trembling slightly as he desperately attempted to keep his cool.

“Release them, you mother*cker! Otherwise, you won’t be leaving this place alive!” roared Ryugu as he rushed into the room!

Since he was the one who had sent Endo and Izumi out on the mission—without Suijin’s knowledge—, Ryugu knew that he was going to be held responsible for whatever happened to them. With that said, as long as they were still alive, he would probably just have to endure a punishment or two. However, if they were dead, there was a high chance that he would be too…!

Either way, upon seeing Ryugu rush over, Aiden immediately got to his feet! Within seconds, the two were already exchanging dozens of blows!

Sensing that Aiden was no pushover, Suijin quickly scowled, “Ryugu! Step down!”

Upon hearing that, the now gasping Ryugu immediately took a few steps back. To think that not only had he failed to gain the upper hand against Aiden, but he was almost hit a few times as well…!

Secretly pleased to see that Aiden had managed to remain unscathed, Gerald then placed his hands on his knees before looking at Suijin with a smile as he asked, “Now then… Since the interrogation didn’t work, I may as well ask straight from the source. Tell me, why would Endo and Izumi suddenly try to assassinate me? As far as I’m concerned, I’ve never had any beef with them. Hell, the night they attempted that assassination was the first time I met them! Either way, do explain why they came after me.”

“…I wasn’t aware of their actions at the time, so I can’t say for sure. Had I known that they were after your head, I would’ve definitely tried to stop them!” replied Suijin who knew that playing dumb was his only way out of this.

While Gerald was pretty sure that Kai was the one who had hired that assassin, he wanted to catch the Hanyus off guard.

As expected, upon hearing that, Suijin and Ryugu immediately yelled, “Impossible!”

“Oh? Then why did he tell me that you were the ones who hired him?” fibbed Gerald even though he could already confirm—based on their reactions—that they weren’t involved with that assassin.

“…Mister, we’re an assassin family. Hiring another assassin to do our job would be absolutely humiliating!” explained Suijin in resignation.
