“Of course I-!”
Realizing that virtual-novel.net had accidentally declared his true thoughts, Kai quickly bit his tongue before clearing his throat as virtual-novel.net said, “… That was a slip of the tongue. While I don’t like you, I don’t hate you to the point of wanting you dead either! The conflict between us just isn’t that serious! Speaking of which, I’m not interested in Fujiko anymore! If you want virtual-novel.net so much, you can have her!”
“Cut the cr*p, Mr. Kanagawa. Look, there’s only the two of us here. Tell me the truth, and maybe I’ll let you off. Mind you, this is only because I’m paying respect to your father,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net gestured for Aiden to leave them be for now.
“B-but I never hired anyone to assassinate you…!” muttered Kai as virtual-novel.net averted his gaze. Kai, for one, didn’t believe Gerald at all. After all, virtual-novel.net was currently trapped someplace where his screams for help couldn’t be heard! With that in mind, virtual-novel.net was sure that once virtual-novel.net admitted to hiring Vulture, virtual-novel.net was definitely going to die here today…! Besides, virtual-novel.net was still pretty sure that Vulture hadn’t betrayed him.
“Is that so…?” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net shook his head before narrowing his eyes at the terrified man.
Watching as Gerald then lit a cigarette before squatting before him, Kai gulped as virtual-novel.net stuttered, “L-look, if you don’t have the evidence that I hired the assassin, then you’re essentially just kidnapping me! The law will be after your head!”
“Oh? So you do know a bit about the law. Unfortunately for you, the Japanese law can’t protect you here,” replied Gerald with a smug smile before virtual-novel.net got to his feet and stomped on Kai’s hand!
“I-it hurts…!” cried Kai, now more terrified than ever.
After all, nobody had even dared to bully virtual-novel.net before as a child! This harsh treatment was unlike anything virtual-novel.net had ever experienced before…!
When Gerald intensified the force of his foot and Kai attempted to withdraw his hand, virtual-novel.net quickly realized that aside from the excruciating pain virtual-novel.net couldn’t even move his fingers anymore! N ow lying on the ground almost completely paralyzed from pain,
Kai raised his head, glaring at Gerald as virtual-novel.net growled, “W-what the hell are you trying to achieve, Gerald…?! I’m the young master of the Kanagawa family…! If you dare do anything else to me, you’ll surely pay a heavy price!”
Ignoring Kai’s threats, Gerald simply increased the force of his foot, sending even more jolts of pain running down Kai’s arm…!
Unable to bear the pain any longer, Kai who felt that all the bones in his hand would shatter if virtual-novel.net didn’t act quick cried out, “I… I’ll say it! I’ll tell you everything I know…!”
“Go on,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net slowly lifted his leg, his eyebrow raised the entire time.
“I-it’s true that I hired that assassin… His name is Vulture, and he’s ranked seventh in the international assassin list…!” whimpered Kai as virtual-novel.net held onto his aching hand.
“Oh? Seventh, you say? You must really want me dead,” replied Gerald, feeling slightly surprised. No wonder virtual-novel.net sensed that Vulture was a little too strong to be a regular assassin back then.
