If Fujiko ended up getting into a dangerous situation, Gerald knew for a fact that he would no longer be able to get any information—about the Seadom tribe—from the other Futabas. With that in mind, he had to save Fujiko before anything bad happened to her! Upon realizing that the door had been opened, the henchmen guarding Gerald’s room instantly placed their hands behind their backs as one of them asked, “Is there something we can help with, Mr. Crawford?” Clearly seeing where their hands had gone, Gerald smiled subtly as he replied, “Oh, I’m just going out for a stroll. It’s quite boring in there, you know? You aren’t going to stop me from doing that, right…?” “Unfortunately, we’ll have to decline. Since you’re a valued guest of the Futabas, you’re one to the Kanagawas as well. With that said, do stay inside for your own safety. After all, if you encounter any danger during your stroll, we won’t be held accountable for that,” replied the henchman as he shook his head. His sm

Watching as Gerald walked over to them, the henchman glared at him before yelling, “Brother Kai was right… You’re nothing but trouble to the Kanagawa family!” Ignoring that statement, Gerald simply bolted forward! Before the henchman knew it, there was an acute pain at the back of his head… and just like that, he was already knocked out! Upon seeing that, the servant’s jaw immediately dropped as he attempted to flee and alert the others about Gerald. Unfortunately for him, before he could even take a single step forward, he felt a hand grabbing onto his shoulder…! “And where exactly do you think you’re going…?” asked Gerald with a smile. “T-that…! I… Um… I… need to use the bathroom…?” stuttered the terrified servant whose legs were already quivering. Shaking his head, Gerald simply smacked the man on his neck… and with a gasp, the man’s body went limp. Following that, Gerald began dragging both of the unconscious men into the room… By that point, Fujiko had already put on

“Also, who the hell allowed you two to sleep in my bed? The nerve…! Do you two want to die that badly?!” roared Kai as he kicked them right off the bed! “B-brother Kai! P-please, no more…! Have mercy…! At least be gentle after this…!” “Y-yeah, brother Kai…!” wailed both of the men as they curled up on the floor. “…Be gentle? What the hell do you two…” asked Kai before his voice trailed off. Putting two and two together, he now realized what he must have done in his drugged-up state… No, he couldn’t have…! Just as he was feeling disgusted by the thought, the henchmen came to their senses and quickly got to their feet. Gulping, both of them then exchanged glances before meekly saying, “U-um… Brother Kai… Gerald was able to save Miss Fujiko last night… A-and following that, both of them managed to escape…!” Upon hearing that, Kai instantly yelled, “D*mn it all…!” Just as he was about to continue scowling them, his foggy memories began to clear up a bit… and unfortunately, he c

Upon hearing that, Ryugu could immediately tell that the matter wasn’t as simple as he thought. With that in mind, he lit a cigarette and thought about it for a moment. Shortly after, Ryugu decided to test Kai by saying, “…If I’m to be completely honest, I’ll have to consider this. After all, you, of all people, should know that the Hanyus rarely make a move against people in the country, even though we’re well known as an assassin family. I’m sure you’re also well aware that the Futabas aren’t exactly a minor family. With that said, if we kill their guest, they’ll surely target us next!” “You don’t have to worry about that. As long as you kill Gerald, I’ll settle the aftermath for you. Also, don’t sell yourself short. I believe in the capabilities of our family’s assassins. You’ll surely be able to kill him without being discovered! Speaking of which, here’s ten billion yen. Once he’s dead, I’ll pay you double. So, how about it?” asked Kai as he lifted a huge box—that had been by

“That’s… not what I’m worried about…” muttered Gerald as he shook his head. Fujiko, of course, was a nearly perfect girl from her personality to her looks. However, he already had Mila. After she was kidnapped by members of the Sun League, he had yet to find any hints of her whereabouts… Whatever the case was, while he would’ve definitely helped Fujiko if he was single, since he already had Mila, he couldn’t just go around playing with other women. As Fujiko leaned closer to Gerald—smelling a faint nice smell coming from him—, she was prompted to ask, “…Do… You already have someone…?” After a brief pause, Gerald simply shook his head as he said, “No…” Till he saved Mila, he wouldn’t tell anyone about her. This was one of the most basic ways he could protect her… “Then it’s settled! Just act with me for a bit, and once Kai is out of the picture, I’ll find a way to properly thank you!” replied Fujiko as she casually wrapped her arms around his. While it was true that she really
