The Invisible Mogul
Chapter 2144

What more, as long as Gerald was in the picture, there was a high chance that the Hanyus wouldn’t ever be able to kidnap Fujiko to threaten Takuya.
“...What? You sent both of them yet neither of them has reported back?” replied Kai in bewilderment.
“I wouldn’t lie about something like this... Regardless, after losing contact with them, I pursued Gerald a few days ago... Unfortunately, he killed
several of my men in the process. If you want proof, just head to the Yamashita family’s deserted mountain... I left their corpses there...” explained
Ryugu as he shook his head in resignation. This was honestly beyond humiliating for him to admit. After all, this loss was unlike anything the Hanyus
had ever faced before...
“...Is Gerald really that strong...?” muttered Kai with a frown. Kai, for one, had only briefly met Gerald. As far as he knew, Gerald was just an average
Joe. While he could’ve hired an ordinary killer to go after Gerald, he had opted to get Ryugu’s help since he wanted the murder to be perfect. It truly
hadn’t occurred to him that the Hanyus would have trouble taking Gerald out!
“We would’ve taken him out ages ago if he wasn’t!” replied Ryugu as he sighed again, wondering how he was going to get more information about
Endo and Izumi’s situation. Ryugu, for one, figured that the patriarch hadn’t learned of the duo’s disappearance yet. Once he did, however, the
patriarch would surely fly into a rage...
“...How truly odd... How did the Futabas get acquainted with such a strong person...? I heard that Gerald was just a family guest. However, if
Takuya’s family had such a powerful ally, why did he only ask for Gerald’s help after his family got reduced to such a state?” muttered Kai as he
poured another cup of tea for himself before taking a sip.
“That’s the reason I told you to lay low for the time being. I wish to investigate further into Gerald’s background first. Speaking of which, since I’ve
already said this much, you should know about an incident that happened back when we were on that deserted mountain. You see, we bumped into
an elder of the Yamashita family. Some things happened, but long story short, that old man gave Gerald and Fujiko a chance to escape while I wasn’t
paying attention!” explained Ryugu in a slightly reluctant tone.
Though he didn’t really want to share this information, he figured that Kai would only continue to misunderstand the situation if he didn’t tell him the
full story. By telling Kai all this, not only would Ryugu avoid more unnecessary trouble, but he could also potentially get some help from the
Kanagawas.
“...What? You’re telling me that the Yamashitas have a relationship with the Futabas? That’s impossible! I’ve never heard of this before!” replied Kai.
“That makes the both of us. After all, we all know that the Yamashitas prefer staying neutral with the other families. However, the old man did say that
he had previously met Fujiko as a child. His tone seemed to suggest that he had a good relationship with Takuya as well,” said Ryugu with a nod.

“...How flabbergasting... While I can understand that the Yamashitas would know about the Futabas, it’s just plain weird that they would have a good
relationship with Takuya! The fact that he helped those two escape only solidifies their relationship!” muttered Kai as he held onto his chin, unable to
figure out what on earth was happening.
“While I haven’t been able to gather much, I can confirm that there really are ninjas within the Yamashita family. That elder alone was already
extremely strong. You see, while I was battling Gerald, that old man had apparently been watching silently the entire time! The problem was, none of
us even noticed him! To top it all off, he prevented my killing blow by disarming my dagger with a shuriken!” explained Ryugu who felt infuriated just
thinking about it. After all, had that old man not stepped in, he could’ve killed or seriously hurt Gerald by now...
“...Whatever the case is, I’ll be focusing on investigating Gerald’s strength and background for the time being. I’ll also be looking into the relationship
between the Futabas and the Yamashitas. With that said, the Hanyus won’t be making a move till we get sufficient information on the situation. After
all, while we can afford to offend the Futabas, offending the Yamashitas will surely spell doom for my family...”
