"At this pivotal moment of change, it should not be up to me, the ruler of the old era, to make this decision."
Maya Yotsuba's words surprised the members of the Yotsuba Family in the living room. Although Maya Yotsuba was a woman, she was an absolute "tyrant." In the past, she was quite autocratic when handling affairs.
Just as everyone was pondering, Maya Yotsuba's gaze fell upon Miyuki Shiba.
" Miyuki, as the acting head of the Yotsuba Family, you will make the decision in this matter. Whatever decision you make, Yotsuba Clan will agree with it."
"Aunt... no, Head of the Family, this?" Miyuki Shiba stood up in a panic. As the acting head of the family, wasn't her only responsibility to contact Yunyi and chat with him? How come the final decision-making power was being dumped on her?
Tatsuya Shiba somewhat surprised, but unlike his younger sister, he had already figured out the meaning behind it.
Yunyi glanced at Tatsuya Shiba with a half-smile, then turned his gaze back to Maya Yotsuba.
Just as he was about to say something, a "beep" notification sounded abruptly.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yunyi took out his terminal and glanced at its contents. After reading it, he sneered at Maya Yotsuba sitting opposite him and said, "You didn't think that calling me out of my house would give you a chance to make a move against those people in my family, did you?"
Upon hearing Yunyi's words, Tatsuya Shiba and the others immediately tensed up. The words sounded somewhat ambiguous, but everyone present understood their meaning.
Maya Yotsuba frowned slightly. "They made their move?"
Yunyi nodded. "That's right, nearly thirty people were mobilized in total, going together to meet the King of Hell."
After saying that, Yunyi stood up.
"I think we should be gone by now..."
Before Yunyi could finish speaking, the terminal notification sounded again. He frowned as he glanced at the message, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The message on the terminal was simple: it informed him that all those who attacked his area had been wiped out. However, this message contained a few more details than the previous one.
"I captured two prisoners before they started their operation, and they're in my hands now. You can come and take them from me if you need them."
"This guy actually offered to help?" Yunyi thought to himself. Based on his understanding of Lina, she wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter if he hadn't informed her beforehand.
" Yunyi, what's the situation now?" Seeing the subtle change in Yunyi's expression, Miyuki Shiba immediately asked.
Yunyi gently shook his head. "It's nothing, just some small fry, they've all been dealt with."
"Although I can't be sure right now, this should be the work of the Ten Master Clans, right? Yotsuba Family, could you please tell me which families are involved?" Yunyi looked at Maya Yotsuba.
"It's the three of Mitsuya, the five of Itsuwa. Maybe, and the nine of the Kudou Family." Maya Yotsuba gave her answer after only a moment of silence.
Before the meeting, she would never have told Yunyi all this. But now, their lives were practically in Yunyi's hands. If this matter truly angered him and led to his retaliation, then Yotsuba Clan, whom he was meeting with, would become the primary target of his revenge, something Maya Yotsuba could not accept.
"Oh? The Saegusa Family didn't participate? That surprises me a bit," Yunyi said in astonishment.
Maya Yotsuba gazed at Yunyi and sighed softly, " The Saegusa Family is currently being monitored by the other families. Although there are no plans for further sanctions, in the current situation, the Saegusa Family's stance is not trusted."
"I understand, thank you for informing me, Head of the Yotsuba Family. Well then, Tatsuya, and Miyuki, we'll meet again." Yunyi looked at Miyuki Shiba and Tatsuya Shiba, said goodbye, and then left the Shiba residence through the " Gate of Transfer ".
Having witnessed him unleash magic with his Gramarye as he left, and feeling the connection she had re-established with Psions after he left, Maya Yotsuba leaned against the back of the sofa. " Miyuki, I'll leave the rest to you."
"I understand, Master." Miyuki Shiba felt immense pressure, but still bowed and responded to Maya Yotsuba.
Maya Yotsuba didn't say much about her statement. She looked at Hayama and Yuuka Tsukuba beside her and said, "Alright, let the two of them decide what to do next. Hayama, you arrange the return trip. Fumiya, you come with me. Also, please inform your mother. There are some things we need to prepare in advance."
Upon hearing Maya Yotsuba mention her mother, Yuuka Tsukuba immediately tensed up. But then she thought, the Tsukuba Family's specialty was " Pledge " magic. And Maya Yotsuba's previous statements had essentially delegated authority to her proxy, Miyuki Shiba. So, was summoning her mother at this time to prepare for the " Pledge " to liberate Tatsuya?
Miyuki Shiba and Tatsuya Shiba had their own guesses about this, but neither of them expressed their opinions. After all, they needed to discuss what had happened tonight, especially their relationship with Yunyi, which was an urgent matter.
After Maya Yotsuba left, Miyuki Shiba collapsed onto the sofa. Tatsuya Shiba sat beside her, also falling silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Miyuki Shiba finally sat up. However, she couldn't maintain that position for more than two seconds before leaning against Tatsuya Shiba's shoulder.
"Brother, really! Miyuki is so tired, and you don't even try to comfort me."
Meanwhile, Yunyi, having left the Shiba mansion, was teleported directly to the location Lina had given him.
This is the house where Lina Lina her two subordinates lived after they arrived in Japan. However, those two subordinates are no longer there.
Upon seeing Yunyi appear, Lina immediately stood up and went to greet him.
"How could this happen tonight? Why would the Japan magician suddenly attack you?" Lina asked directly, voicing her doubts.
After Yunyi explained his identity, Lina was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.
"You really are something. You're an undercover agent! An undercover agent! And you just openly exposed your identity like that? Aren't you afraid the Japan will turn on you?"
"Heh, a cornered dog will jump over the wall, but all that jumping over is a dog. As long as we break their legs and blow their heads off, they're nothing to be afraid of, aren't they?"
