The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2095

Gently pulling on his goatee, Endo then said, “…I don’t think dealing with him outside the manor is going to be easy. Since Takuya already knows that we tried to assassinate his daughter, he’ll surely have guards around Gerald at all times, especially when he leaves the house. After all, he is a distinguished guest to the Futabas.”

After hearing that, Ryugu then turned to look at the other man before asking, “And what about you, Izumi?”

Puffing on the cigarette he had just lit, Izumi then replied, “Endo pretty much said what I wanted to. If we really do plan on doing things outdoors, by the time our subordinates take out the Futaba bodyguards, I’m sure there will already be eyewitnesses. With how famous our family is, it isn’t a stretch to say that one of them will recognize us. If that happens, news about us assassinating fellow Japanese people will surely spread like wildfire.”

“My thoughts exactly. It’s simply too risky to do things outside. It’s why I suggested doing the assassination within the manor in the first place. While it may be a bit difficult to pull it off, at the very least, we won’t be seen by outsiders. Regardless, I didn’t request for both of you to stay here just to listen to your ideas. As you may already have guessed, I’m tasking both of you to complete this mission. I just can’t help but worry if I leave the mission to the others,” said Ryugu as he stared at the two men.

A week was simply far too short for there to be any room for error. If they failed to get rid of Gerald in their first attempt, there wouldn’t be a second one. By that point, they would surely fail Kai’s mission and Ryugu’s fate—of dropping his position—would be sealed…

Regardless, upon hearing that, Endo and Izumi exchanged glances—clearly not expecting Ryugu to even suggest that—before replying, “You want us to do it?”

Hearing that, Ryugu frowned slightly as he replied, “…What, you don’t want to?”
