"To be honest, I always thought a meeting like this would be held somewhere more secretive."
Looking at the hotel lobby before him, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly. Jumonji Kento stood beside him, watching him curiously.
"What, disappointed?"
"More or less. After all, the Ten Master Clans are the most influential families in the Wizarding World of Japan. A Master Clan Conference they convene can affect the entire Wizarding World of Japan. Logically speaking, shouldn't this sort of meeting be held somewhere like a heavily guarded, hidden underground secret base?"
"Places like that are easier to attack."

"While that's true, it's still far too boring."
Fang Zheng naturally understood what Jumonji Kento meant. Holding the meeting in a resort like Hakone was better than gathering somewhere deep in the wilderness. The Yotsuba Clan was the best example. Their hidden village had been virtually unknown to anyone, far removed from the world and secret as hell—yet the entire village had been wiped out, and no one else had even reacted.
