The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2200

Upon hearing knocks on his door, Suke immediately opened it. Seeing that it was Ryugu, Suke then tugged him into his room, closing the door behind him before asking, “You’re finally here! So, what did the patriarch say? Just so you know, we can still discuss the benefits! As long as Gerald dies, I won’t even mind taking a third of the benefits! If that isn’t enough, a fifth will do…!”

Suke was rightfully desperate for Gerald's death. After all, he knew that as long as Gerald remained alive, it would be too shameful for him to ever face the other Futabas again.

To Suke’s dismay, however, Ryugu simply responded by lighting a cigarette—after taking a seat—and saying, “Gerald’s just left.”

“…Huh? Well, why didn’t you stop him, then? And why did he come over in the first place?” replied Suke, clearly panicking as he quickly stuck his head out the window.

Instantly pulling him back in, Ryugu immediately scowled in a hushed tone, “The hell are you doing? If Gerald and his party see you here, we’ll be in hot soup!”

“What am I doing? What are you doing?! Gerald was already in the manor! You could’ve just sent some of your assassins to finish him off, no…?” grumbled Suke, feeling slightly dispirited that they had missed such a prime opportunity to strike! Who knew when they were going to get a chance like this again!

“Regardless, tell me how long it’ll take for you to finish Gerald off,” muttered Suke who couldn’t be bothered about the details or benefits anymore. He just wanted Gerald dead!

“Unfortunately, I can’t provide a specific answer to that,” replied Ryugu as he shook his head while closing the window.

“…What? Am I being confined here?” replied Suke, his expression quickly changing.

“You’re free to assume that,” said Ryugu as his other hand moved to open the door behind him. Upon seeing the two subordinates who had been positioned right outside Suke’s room, Ryugu added, “Both of you. Keep an eye out on Mr. Futaba. If he dares to even leave this room, you have my permission to break his legs!”

“This is a cooperative relationship, Ryugu! What is the meaning of this…?!” exclaimed Suke who was terrified to hear what Ryugu just had to say. After all, while he had initially assumed that this place was going to be his refuge, as it turned out, it wasn’t any less dangerous!

“It’s exactly as I said. Stay here, and I’ll serve you well with good food and drinks. Leave, however… well, you heard what I said,” sneered Ryugu in response…
