Chapter 44- True Identity?!
A man in his late thirties wearing a classic Japanese kimono walked through a narrow corridor.
The wooden floor creaked slightly with every hurried step with small droplets of sweat covering his wrinkled forehead as the man walked to a certain room.
**GULP**
After gulping in anxiety the man finally slid the door of the meeting room open before the sight of several men appeared in view.
There were a total of 10 pairs of men sitting orderly by the wall with the head seat acquired by a hulking man in his forties.
The man generally got the attention as he walked inside with a pale face before he bowed down in the middle of the room.
"Apologise for the intrusion, my lord but I have an urgent report to deliver."
The man who was called the lord was the head of the Kamazaki clan, Yorichi Kamazaki.
To the first seat on his left sat the blond charming youth and the second in command, Minoru Kamazaki.
The clan head along with others had their eyes redirected at the messenger as they awaited for him to speak.
The man paled even more under the heavy gazes nevertheless he uttered the piece of shocking intel he received some moments ago.
"T-The Martials have failed to infiltrate General Fujiwara's residence. And the search for General is still fruitless."
Audible gasps resonated in the long hall as the messenger of the words blurted out.
"I-Impossible! The Martials failed?"
This kind of thought almost everyone had in the room since the unit which was sent to abduct Ryuuta Fujiwara wasn't just any soldiers.
Martials are those specially trained beings who have some special kind of trait that either awakens at the time of their birth or comes from their cross bloodline.
They are the undefeatable unit of the Vanguard Organisation and the pillars who have vowed to always stand for humanity.
To think that they failed in kidnapping just a Beginner ranked brat(Ryuuta)?!
"The house is protected by an unknown kind of seal which nothing could penetrate. Even Jorum-san failed to break the spell."
Hearing the failure of the Elite-ranked warrior who was proficient in the evaluation and disintegration of spells, the room fell into deep shock as their lips pursed in unease.
"It's the Black Bounty."
Yorichi voiced his thoughts which resonated in the hall profoundly. Some were baffled but most of them had also guessed the same name behind this absurd shield of Fujiwara.
Minoru gritted his teeth in agitation since it was the second time when Black Bounty had interfered on his way to Kaori.
Anyone. If any single person other than that damn hunter had dared to come in Minoru's path, he would have crushed them without mercy.
But when it's about that being, Minoru was completely helpless…
"We should go after that boy, my lord. General Kaori will show up if we threaten him."
One of the council members spoke his intention regarding none other than Kei whom all of them had come to know because of this event.
Yorichi fell into contemplation.
The reason he didn't think of taking action against Kei was that there was the possibility of angering Kaori to the point of no return. But it wasn't like she was an invincible being without weakness.
After a full minute of pondering, Yorichi finally let go of the hesitation and commanded the messenger in a heavy domineering tone.
"Inform the Marital to locate that brat and take him to the HQ."
The messenger upon receiving the order bowed once again before he started to retreat.
But just as he slid the door a figure appeared on the other side making everyone inside the room widen their eyes in utter disbelief.
The messenger instantly fell on his butt upon seeing the entity from this close. His day indeed was very bad!
With a severe frown contouring his charming face, Minoru got up from his seat before he uttered under his breath.
"B-Black Bounty…
