    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man 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 ce 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 ced 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 exin 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 ying dumb was his only


    way out of this.


    “I see… Could you also be imaware of the assassination attempt on Miss Futaba then?” asked Gerald.


    “With all due respect, that’s a matter between the Hanyus and the Futabas, mister. As nothing but a


    guest, don’t you think youck the right to ask about such things?” replied Suijin who’s expression had


    gotten slightly ugly. He couldn’t answer any of Gerald’s questions at all…!


    “Point taken,” replied Gerald with a brief nod.


    Shaking his head, Suijin then gestured at one of his subordinates before ordering, “Get us some tea!”


    A short whileter, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Actually, there’s one more thing I’d like to confirm.


    You see, back when I was at the Japanese military training grounds a few days ago, I was attacked by


    an assassin from the assassin list who’s probably quite high-ranked. With that said, I was wondering if


    you were the ones who sent him after me.”


    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.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    “… Mister, we’re an assassin family. Hiring another assassin to do our job would be absolutely


    humiliating!” exined Suijin in resignation.
