"Takuma-sama, Miss Sakuragi dressed up carefully before heading to Ishida Taiichi's office."
At the top floor of the Heavenly Defense Dojo Headquarters Building, inside a luxurious office.
A middle-aged man respectfully reported to the man seated behind the desk.
The man was in his early thirties, tall and powerfully built, with a heavy presence and a faint gleam in his eyes.
Kitahara Takuma, son of Kitahara Sosuke—the Sakura Country's only Ninth-Order Martial Saint—was an Eighth-Order Middle Position metahuman.
"She actually went to Ishida Taiichi's place?" Kitahara Takuma frowned deeply.
Sakuragi Rin was currently the Sakura Country's sole awakened wielder of an S-rank metahuman ability. Her future prospects were immeasurable.
That talent alone made her one in a million.
Not to mention that Sakuragi Rin's figure and looks were equally exceptional.
Therefore, after his father arranged an engagement between him and Sakuragi Rin a month ago, he had begun pursuing her fervently.
He wanted not only her body, but also her heart!
Yet she had shown no reaction whatsoever, not the slightest inclination to get close to him, which infuriated him.
That was why he had arranged for his subordinates to monitor Sakuragi Rin's movements. He had not expected to receive such news today.
"Ishida Taiichi is already over fifty, and he's only an Eighth-Order Lower Position. How could he possibly have caught Sakuragi Rin's eye?"
Though they were not yet married, Kitahara Takuma still felt as if he had already been cuckolded.
Especially when the other man was an old fool far inferior to himself.
"Come to think of it, Ishida Taiichi has indeed been frequently moving around on Sakuragi Rin's behalf over the past six months.
He was also the one who proposed no longer selecting a Holy Son and instead funneling all the dojo's resources toward Sakuragi Rin.
