The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2126

“It’s my fault…! I’m so sorry, patriarch!” declared Ryugu as he lowered his head.

Shaking his head, Suijin simply replied, “It’s not your fault. We’ve just underestimated Gerald’s capabilities. Still, that man really has monstrous capabilities… How on earth did the Futabas get to know such a strong individual…? And who exactly is he? All we know is that he’s a Westoner. However, that doesn’t explain why he’s so willing to help the Futabas…”

“While we still aren’t clear about his identity, I have a feeling that Gerald’s only doing all this because he has a special relationship with Futaba… Other than that, I really can’t think of anything else…” replied Ryugu who was honestly feeling relieved that Suijin wasn’t placing the blame on him.

“…That doesn’t seem right. Didn’t Futaba sign a marriage contract with Kai?” replied Suijin with a frown. The complicated relationships among these people were giving him a headache.

“…Could Kai have found out about Gerald and Fujiko’s relationship? It does explain why he ordered us to assassinate Gerald…” muttered Ryugu who knew that such incidents happened all the time among the larger families.

“Then that has nothing to do with us. Moving back to Gerald, aside from the fact that he’s capable enough to kill dozens of our assassins, have you found anything else that’s wrong with him?” asked Suijin, seemingly only interested in Gerald.

“…Now that you mention it, there is one thing that comes to mind!” replied Ryugu.

“Good. But before that, get some seats for heaven’s sake! The three of you just standing there are giving me a headache!” grumbled Suijin as he gestured for his servants to clear his table before pointing at a few chairs that had been placed near the wall.
