The day after Araki crippled the heads of three 'upper-class' noble families...
Bang!
Countless 'upper-class' noble family heads who had received the news began smashing tables and chairs at random, venting the frustration in their chests.
"Damn it! What kind of fit has Yamamoto's disciple thrown this time?! Why did he suddenly start coming after us?!"
One noble smashed every decoration on the desk in his study, constantly venting the emotions in his heart.
"How about this? Shall we send Yamamoto a letter and have him properly discipline that precious disciple of his?!"
As the noble flew into a rage, his 'retainer' immediately stepped forward and asked his master.
"A letter?! Hahahaha..."
"Would sending Yamamoto a letter even do anything? Do you think he would step in and help us restrain his precious disciple just because we wrote him a letter?! Don't make me laugh. Yamamoto would never scold his precious disciple for the sake of people like us! From what I hear, Yamamoto raised that Araki like a son!"
"Heh... Have you ever seen me scold my son over the life or death of an outsider? Yamamoto and his disciple are cut from the same cloth! No, perhaps that old bastard Yamamoto planned this whole thing from the beginning! That old bastard Yamamoto is warning us~"
After hearing his subordinate's words, the noble suddenly threw back his head and laughed. His laughter was full of hatred for Yamamoto and Araki.
"Uh, this..."
After hearing the noble's words, the retainer froze where he stood. He truly had not considered things from that angle. Now that his noble master had pointed it out, cold sweat broke out all over him. That was right. Araki was Yamamoto's prized disciple. How could Yamamoto possibly have had no hand in what he was doing?!
