Watching as the two subordinates then glared viciously at him—looking like they were ready to pounce the second he disagreed—, Suke could only yell, “H-how absolutely vile…!” Following that, Suke immediately closed the door, knowing that he would die if he even attempted to leave. Thinking back, his death would probably be more beneficial to them. After all, not only would there be one less insider who knew about the Futaba targeting incident, but they’d also be free to take all the benefits for themselves! Now that he finally realized all this, Suke was already regretting immediately rushing here after suffering through all that humiliation. Had he thought this through back then, he could’ve brought along two strong confidants with him! If that had happened, he wouldn’t have ended up being cornered this pitifully! Either way, after thinking about all this for a while, Suke sighed as he placed his hand on the table, hoping to get his phone and call someone to save him. However, w

Looking at how dust-free the warehouse now was, Gerald couldn’t help but chuckle as he said, “…Not bad… So it can be used for cleaning up as well!” Following that, Gerald found a sturdy box to sit on before closing his eyes… As he thought about Yearning Island, two hours quickly came and went. Gerald only snapped out of it when he heard footsteps in the distance, accompanied by someone yelling, “Unhand me! Don’t you know who I am?! I’ll call it even if you let me free and leave Japan immediately! Otherwise, you’ll be dead by morning!” “Cut the cr*p and just get in already!” Familiar with both of those voices, Gerald then watched as Aiden tossed Kai into the warehouse. Illuminated by moonlight, the pitiful Kai—who was in pain—slowly crawled to his feet before pointing at Aiden and yelling, “W-who even are you?! We’ve never met before! I’m sure you’ve kidnapped the wrong person!” “While that’s true for him, the same can’t be said for us, can it now, Mr. Kanagawa?” replied Gerald

“W-what even is the point of saying all this now… Haven’t you already gotten rid of Vulture?” muttered Kai who was pretty sure that Vulture had been defeated since Gerald was sitting here so casually. “I have. Regardless, do tell me what else you’ve done,” replied Gerald, glad that Kai was finally talking. “…W-well… before Vulture, I also hired Ryugu to handle you, and I think he sent Endo and Izumi over… They’re still locked up in here, right…?” said Kai as he looked at Gerald. Now that he had already mentioned Vulture, there was no point hiding the rest of what he had done. With any luck, he wouldn’t have to die here at such a young age… “…Oh? You were the one who sent them?” replied Gerald, feeling slightly surprised. As it turned out, Kai had been working with the Hanyus this entire time without him knowing. “It was… Either way, after you took Endo and Izumi down, Ryugu told me that he wouldn’t go after you for quite a while… That’s why I hired Vulture in the end, though I

“You’re all seriously annoying, you know that? Before Gerald revealed his relationship with the Yamashitas, all of you simply wanted to kick him out so that you could leech off the family without any further delays. Are you seriously buttering him up now after what you’ve all done? Even an idiot could tell what you’re really trying to achieve!” scoffed Aiden as he walked down the hallway. He had come over to meet Gerald, and when he realized what was happening, he couldn’t help but mock those pitiful individuals. “…What was that?! Who the hell even are you?!” “Must be some new servant or something!” yelled a few of the Futabas, angered by Aiden’s straightforwardness. After all, they—of all people—knew that every word he said was true! Getting increasingly annoyed with them after watching them diss on Aiden, Gerald—who wanted very badly to kick all of them out—took in a deep breath before saying, “Aiden, come over here.” Upon realizing that Aiden was with Gerald, the other Futab

Before they were even able to step away from the car, they watched as a security guard came running over to them. After briefly sizing Gerald up, the guard then said, “I’m sorry, but you can’t park here without permission! This parking area belongs to the consortium! With that said, please leave!” Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but frown slightly. While he knew that this guard was simply acting according to protocol, it didn’t change the fact that the guard’s tone was annoying. Whatever the case was, Gerald simply replied, “I’m here to meet Derrick Zima. If he’s in, just tell him that Gerald’s looking for him.” “Derrick Zima? Are you even aware that he’s the chairman of the Fareast Consortium? With that said, who do you think you are? Do you think he’ll meet you just because you want him to? Either way, beat it already before I call more guards over to kick you out!” scoffed the guard after laughing out loud. Upon hearing that name, Aiden couldn’t help but whisper in Ger
