Within the Ten Master Clans, it wasn't just the Saegusa Family that was paying attention to this development; practically everyone was. However, the attitudes of the Ichijo Family, Yotsuba Family, Itsuwa Family, Saegusa Family, Kudou Family, and Jumonji Family were more pronounced.
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Gouki Ichijo of the Ichijo Family was also very troubled. When he received the news of the explosion of the seabed mineral vein near the Ogasawara Islands, he wondered if it was caused by a mistake made by his family's subsidiary company during seabed operations.
Although he felt relieved when he received news that the working vessel had already returned, his heart sank to the bottom when the monitoring team sent a message that there was a possibility of leakage in the submarine cable.
The Ichijo Family will spare no effort to control the situation in order to make amends. After all, if these data were exposed, they would definitely become the target of public criticism.
The attention given to the Itsuwa Family and the Jumonji Family is largely due to their closer ties with the National Defense Force, especially the Itsuwa Family.
As the only publicly acknowledged Strategic-Class Magic in Japan and a member of the Thirteen Apostles, Mio Itsuwa naturally has many connections with the military. However, when the military's request for assistance was sent to the Itsuwa Family, the current head of the Itsuwa Family Isami Itsuwa, refused without hesitation.
Others might not know about the Itsuwa Family's situation, but surely their own family members do?
The Itsuwa Family is only able to retain its status as one of the Ten Division Ten Master Clans because of Mio Itsuwa's name. Under these circumstances, expecting them to stand up for the military and garner so-called support is simply unrealistic. Besides, the Itsuwa Family hasn't released any images from near-Earth orbit satellites. They expect people to take action without even showing them the full picture? It's not that simple!
However, even without the military's involvement, the Itsuwa Family would still be concerned about this incident. Since most of their business is maritime logistics, the freezing of this large area of sea will affect the surrounding waters, significantly impacting their logistics operations.
The situation with the Jumonji Family is simpler. After discussing it with his son Kazuki Jumonji, Katsuto Jumonji also rejected the military's request for assistance, as they also disagreed with the military's proposal. However, for the other families, the Jumonji Family is perhaps the only one, besides the Yotsuba Family and Saegusa Family families, who knows who made the move.
However, Maya Yotsuba is the one who is most concerned about the development of this matter. In fact, her concern is much greater than that of Koichi Saegusa.
Yunyi's identity was exposed not because Gu Jie found it from the Supreme Throne, but because she, Maya Yotsuba, found it.
Yunyi's performance in the Nine Schools Competition piqued Maya Yotsuba's interest. As the head of the Yotsuba Family, she naturally hoped that the name Yotsuba Clan could continue indefinitely. Therefore, she decided to try to win over Yunyi and thus ascended to the Supreme Throne.
When she learned Yunyi's true identity, Maya Yotsuba was genuinely startled. She hadn't expected that the Great Asian Alliance would be hiding such a person.
The things Yunyi did, revealed before the Supreme Throne, weren't just what she had given to Koichi Saegusa. Records also documented Yunyi's contacts with Lina during her years in the America, and some events that occurred during the Great Asian Alliance. Although not comprehensive, these records still provided Maya Yotsuba with some openings.
Especially after seeing the relationship between Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa, the idea of using a marriage alliance to win them over arose in her mind. However, among her own girls, apart from Miyuki Shiba, there were none who could compare to, or even surpass, Mayumi Saegusa. That's why she sent Yunyi's information to Koichi Saegusa, hoping to see if this could sow discord between him and the Saegusa Family. Then, she would have the Yotsuba Family girls contact Yunyi and take advantage of the situation.
Unfortunately, this thought only lasted until this incident occurred. After the incident, she logged into the Supreme Throne once again. Through the Supreme Throne, she obtained the most comprehensive information. Then came her action of giving orders to Miyuki Shiba.
However, Maya Yotsuba didn't expect that Yunyi knew far more than she thought! In fact, those things were things that even the Supreme Throne couldn't find out! Moreover, he had told Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba about it, and was preparing to watch the Yotsuba Family's internal strife unfold.
As for the Kudou Family, Retsu Kudou also obtained all the video footage. After watching it, the old man was almost splitting with rage. He had taken a liking to Yunyi in order to use him to counterbalance Yotsuba Clan and maintain the balance of the Ten Master Clans. But now it seems that this kid alone can counterbalance the entire Ten Master Clans, right? Counterbalance Yotsuba Clan and maintain the balance? Now it seems that as long as Koichi Saegusa dares to confirm the relationship between Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa, and announce their engagement, the balance of the Ten Master Clans will be completely destroyed in an instant!
Unlike the other companies, Koichi Saegusa was much more relaxed at this point.
Although this incident, after being guided by public opinion, had a significant impact on the entire Japan magic world, it also diverted everyone's attention away from the Saegusa Family, didn't it?
He wasn't afraid of the pressure from the Japan military. After all, he had only privately acknowledged Koichi Saegusa Yunyi's relationship with Mayumi Saegusa and hadn't officially announced it to the public yet, so he had plenty of excuses to cover it up.
Upon hearing Koichi Saegusa's earlier comments about the military, Tomokazu Saegusa asked, "Then, Father, shall we maintain the status quo for now and not worry about anything else?"
"The rest? Why bother with all that?" Koichi Saegusa looked at his son. "Have you forgotten that Yunyi isn't Japan? Those people in the military are brainless, are you? Infiltrating the army to brainwash them? That's ridiculous! If you piss them off, they might overturn your table and leave. What can you do then? Start a war?"
At this point, Koichi Saegusa pointed to the screen on the terminal and said, "Looking at the state of this ocean, tell me how we're going to start a war? Can you be sure this kid can only use this kind of magic once?"
"What about Mayumi and the others? The three of them are still with Yunyi," Tomokazu Saegusa asked.
Although she is his half-sister, he still cares about Mayumi Saegusa and the other two girls.
"You don't need to worry about them. Not long ago, Kasumi sent her mother a message complaining that her sister doesn't love her anymore now that she has a boyfriend. I think that guy's relationship with Mayumi is more than just a fling. Let's not interfere in their affairs. As for Kasumi and Izumi, with Mayumi around, there won't be any problems."
