Chapter 45- Fear?!
Yorichi Kamazaki.
The person who has only known to inflict fear and abuse his authority all his life was due to the contribution the Kamazaki clan has bestowed to form this Vanguard Organization.
Not to talk about his own prowess which he inherits from his ancestors. The power of Lightning could easily assist him to go against a horde of elves and beasts by himself.
Up until now, there are only two people Yorichi came across who carried a potential threat to him and his clan.
The Leader of the Vanguard Sinchiro Kirigawa has some mysteries hidden under his sleeves which the person never unravels. Even so, whether it is physical might, magical prowess, or management skills, Sinchiro has it all.
The other one was the newly recruited General who has risen in her ranking through her extraordinary battle prowess and never-ending will which pushed her to win a war all by herself.
But Yorichi feared neither of them since he had an army who could protect him from whatever danger might arrive.
However, that doesn't apply to the person who arrived inside the room all of a sudden.
Other than his son, Minoru, no one has physically witnessed the being but with that massive presence coupled with the appearance which aligns just similar to what he had heard, it was no denying to say the person was the infamous criminal of the underworld.
Bounty Hunter.
The lack of vigor on his son's face despite seeing the woman he loves along with the strange arrival, further signifies that Yorichi hasn't reached the wrong conclusion.
The people around the room along with the lord have risen to their feet with their faces pale in a fret. They had a hunch that Fujiwaras might be under the protection of the Bounty Hunter.
But seeing the comical mask-wearing being in front with the General standing beside him, it became clear as day that their suspicion wasn't in vain.
But the point was…
"W-Why are you here…"
There was no way the Leader of one of the prominent Clans would bow down even though the person in front was a serial slaughterer
The people in the room were on their guard to engage in battle any second even though they had a vivid idea, of what would be the end result if conflict really breaks out.
Strangely, it wasn't the hunter who responded, not like they were expecting, but the General they were trying to capture, walked forward.
Agitation was evident on her face as she spoke in a harsh tone.
"After failing to capture me, you shit old bastards went after my brother?! How low can you all fall just to stop a brat from whining?!"
Minoru's expression turned ugly as he heard the explicit abuse directed but it wasn't his position to speak now when his father was present.
"We just wanted to get a hold of our responsible General."
Yorichi was trying to lay this matter calmly since he doesn't want to mingle in an unhealthy relationship with the hunter. And for that, Yorichi has to coax this girl first.
But his or Kaori's next words were cut off when a boulder-heavy voice weigh down the room and sent a shiver down everyone's spine including Kaori.
"You… "
The hunter's face was covered with the mask as well as his facial features but Yorichi can tell that the terrifying being was currently looking at him.
Kaori soon got out of her fluster as she realized that he wasn't someone she should fear from. He's her Kei whatever mask he covers himself with.
Tactically, she retreated and let Kei handle the further matter.
It was the first time any of them have heard his voice except for Minoru but by no means, it sounded pleasant.
After a short pause, the heavy tone voiced the words which made Yorichi freeze in fright.
"Call your boss…or perish."
The temperature of the room lowered as the people standing by the wall reflexively planted their trembling hands on their weapons about hearing Black Bounty.
Minoru was also ready to engage in battle if push have come to shove since there was no way of running away from this being even if he try to.
The most troubled was Yorichi as sweat never left his huge forehead. He has known about Hunter's deed for quite a long and most of those intel only higher-ups were allowed to access.
Genocides, massacres, turning a lively habitat into burning hell, or whatnot.
If this huge being shrouded in black really is Black Bounty then Yorichi fears to comply with the command or his clan might perish from existence.
**GULP**
Taking a hard gulp, the clan lord nodded which shocked the other members but there wasn't any better option rather than to call Sinchiro.
Maybe if the leader of Vanguard comes then Yorichi might capture Black Bounty as well…
But before he could have walked to contact the Organization head, a voice resonate from among the people standing by the wall.
"Don't bother, Yori-kun~I am already here~
