Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2199 Following that, Gerald laughed heartily before getting to his feet and saying, “Alright, let’s head back. We’re already an eyesore to them by this point!”

Nodding in response, Aiden and Fujiko then followed closely behind him. However, before they left, Aiden made sure to roughly brush his shoulder against Ryugu’s, causing Ryugu to almost fall!

“You… !” growled Ryugu as he turned to glare at Aiden.

Aiden, however, paid him no notice and simply walked out with Gerald and Fujiko.

Once the trio was no longer in sight, Ryugu who had been actively suppressing his rage this entire time immediately ran toward Suijin before asking, “Patriarch! Why did you just let them leave like that…?”

Snorting in response, Suijin then scoffed, “Why would you want them to stay? Are you planning to treat them to dinner or something?”

Honestly, if it wasn’t for the fact that Ryugu was an important family member whom Suijin couldn’t easily replace, he would’ve driven Ryugu away ages ago.

“With all due respect, patriarch, I had a small team lying in wait to ambush them! As long as you ordered it s to attack, my men would’ve instantly rushed in to subdue them!” exclaimed Ryugu as he clenched his fist, unable to accept that he had missed yet another chance to take Gerald down.

Glaring at Ryugu, Suijin simply scoffed, “Subdue? You couldn’t even defeat that special forces soldier! Do you honestly think you can subdue Gerald? Just think about it You, of all people, should know how strong Endo and Izumi can get when they work together. They were able to stealthily take down a terrorist organization, for heaven’s sake! Yet what happened when they attempted to assassinateThis belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Gerald? Not only did he manage to take both of them down, but he barely has a scratch on him! It’s clear as day that his strength is far beyond yours! If he really wanted us dead, we’d all be nothing but a puddle of flesh and blood within minutes!”

Watching as Suijin then sighed before starting to pace back and forth in the reception room, Ryugu who was still unwilling to just accept all this then replied, “But we can’t just agree with all this…! If we really do as he says, then all our plans in the past few years will be for naught!”

Ryugu, for one, had invested a lot in the plan to take over the Futaba family since Suijin had ordered him to do most of the research. With that in mind, it made sense why he was so unwilling to just go with Gerald’s whims.

“Naturally, I only agreed so that he’d leave for now. Regardless, we need to be careful when we make our next move. Things should go fine as long as Gerald doesn’t find out about what we’ve done. Speaking of which, I want all of you to lay low in the next few days. I have zero doubts that Gerald will be keeping a close eye on us for quite a while, and since he even has the Yamashitas on his side, we really can’t afford to offend him,” muttered Suijin.

Understanding how powerless they were, Ryugu was forced to nod as he replied, “… Understood!”

“Good. Also, I’ll need you to find some time to get Endo and Izumi back. Though they probably won’t be capable of participating in any further assassination missions, they can still serve as mentors for our other assassins. At the very least, it’s better than keeping them locked up in the Futaba manor,” said Suijin, who just wanted to get some rest now.

Clenching his fists at the mention of those two, Ryugu then growled, “… Got it!”

Meanwhile, Suke who had been anxiously waiting for Ryugu’s return in his guest room couldn’t help but fear that the Futabas would find out that he was here.
