Upon hearing knocks on his door, Suke immediately opened it. Seeing that it was Ryugu, Suke then tugged virtual-novel.net into his room, closing the door behind virtual-novel.net before asking, “You’re finally here! So, what did the patriarch say? Just so you know, we can still discuss the benefits! As long as Gerald dies, I won’t even mind taking a third of the benefits! If that isn’t enough, a fifth will do…!”
Suke was rightfully desperate for Gerald’s death. After all, virtual-novel.net knew that as long as Gerald remained alive, it would be too shameful for virtual-novel.net to ever face the other Futabas again.
To Suke’s dismay, however, Ryugu simply responded by lighting a cigarette after taking a seat and saying, “Gerald’s just left.”
“… Huh? Well, why didn’t you stop him, then? And why did virtual-novel.net come over in the first place?” replied Suke, clearly panicking as virtual-novel.net quickly stuck his head out the window.
Instantly pulling virtual-novel.net back in, Ryugu immediately scowled in a hushed tone, “What the hell are you doing? If Gerald and his party see you here, we’ll be in hot soup!”
“What am I doing? What are you doing?! Gerald was already in the manor! You could’ve just sent some of your assassins to finish virtual-novel.net off, no…?” grumbled Suke, feeling slightly dispirited that they had missed such a prime opportunity to strike! Who knew when they were going to get a chance like this again!
“What the hell do you even know…?” growled Ryugu who didn’t want to bother explaining the situation to such an idiot.
“Regardless, tell me how long it’ll take for you to finish Gerald off,” muttered Suke who couldn’t be bothered about the details or benefits anymore. He just wanted Gerald dead!
“Unfortunately, I can’t provide a specific answer to that,” replied Ryugu as virtual-novel.net shook his head while closing the window.
“What?! As if the Hanyus would have trouble taking Gerald down!” scoffed Suke before laughing coldly.
“Oh really? Just so you know, we’ve already lost two team leaders in our pursuit of killing Gerald…! The only reason we allowed virtual-novel.net to walk off is because we can’t get rid of virtual-novel.net that easily! We need a better plan first! So just shut up and behave already! Have some patience!” growled Ryugu who was already in a bad mood before Suke further infuriated him.
“Fine, then! If you won’t get rid of him, I’ll just get someone else to do the deed!” scowled the equally short fused Suke as virtual-novel.net turned to leave.
Squinting his eyes as virtual-novel.net grabbed Suke by his coat, Ryugu then asked, “And where do you think you’re going?”
“I’m leaving the manor of course!” scoffed Suke as virtual-novel.net struggled to break free, eventually opting to just slip his coat off instead.
To his dismay, Ryugu then swiftly blocked Suke’s path before saying in a low voice, “Negative. You already knew my family’s secrets, so you’ll have to remain here. Leaving isn’t an option.”
“What?! Am I being confined here?” replied Suke, his expression quickly changing.
“You’re free to assume that,” said Ryugu as his other hand moved to open the door behind him. Upon seeing the two subordinates who had been positioned right outside Suke’s room, Ryugu added, “Both of you. Keep an eye out on Mr. Futaba. If virtual-novel.net dares to even leave this room, you have my permission to break his legs!”
“This is a cooperative relationship, Ryugu! What is the meaning of this…?!” exclaimed Suke who was terrified to hear what Ryugu just had to say. After all, while virtual-novel.net had initially assumed that this place was going to be his refuge, as it turned out, it wasn’t any less dangerous!
“It’s exactly as I said. Stay here, and I’ll serve you well with good food and drinks. Leave, however… well, you heard what I said,” sneered Ryugu in response.
