Reactions (II)...

"So, they must have acquired drop items" The fourth advisor mumbled with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Yes, the way they are fighting, it is clear that they are much stronger than our fighters" The second advisor said in a low tone, but his tone wasn't low enough as everyone clearly heard him. Everyone around him started to look at him with deep frowns on their faces.

The female advisor finally released a sigh and then she cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. When everyone was finally looking at her, instead of frowning at the second advisor, she decided to speak up. "You know, frowning at him isn't going to change reality" The female advisor shook her head. The second advisor beamed at her while the others didn't look happy.

For them, it was a bitter pill to swallow, but there was not much they could do to change the reality. All of them knew that the world was changing and they understood that they needed to go along with the change or they will be swept away. So, for the time being, all of them decided to keep watching the Live Stream without saying anything. A couple of them were awed by how easily the group of teenagers were decimating the horde of the Zombies, while the rest became wary and slightly afraid of the strength possessed by the group of teenagers.

"We need them to join our group" The fifth advisor was the first one to break the silence. He had a hard look on his face as he kept staring at the smartphone screen.

"Yes, I also agree with him…" The first advisor agreed morosely.

"That is something never going to happen" Before anyone else could make their opinions known, Souichiro decided to intervene with a solemn look on his face.

"Why?" The second advisor blurted out with a questioning look on his face.

"Is there something you know about them?" The fourth advisor asked curiously while the fifth advisor only stared at Souichiro with a contemplative look on his face.

"Yes, I recognized two of them as soon as saw them" Souichiro said and pointed toward the purple-haired woman with Katana on the screen. "She is Saeko Busujima, she is Master Busujima's daughter" Souichiro explained and recognition dawned on everyone's face. Almost everyone in the city knew about Master Busujima and Busujima dojo, so it would be completely absurd if these people didn't recognize the man.

"So, what's the problem?" The female advisor asked with a confused look on her face. She understood that the girl was Master Busujima's daughter, but that didn't mean that she wouldn't join their group. In fact, she felt that there was a good chance that the girl might join their group, after all, Souichiro Takagi was a student of her father, and so she was quite sure that the girl would choose Souichiro's group instead of whatever group she was currently a part of.

"He is the problem" Souichiro said, once again pointing toward the smartphone screen, but this time, he was pointing at a boy. "That boy is the problem. He is Yozora Daichi, adopted son of Yozora Kemono. Believe me, if he anything like his mother, then we are better off without him and if he is anything like his mother, then he is not someone who would be following orders" Souichiro said while shaking his head.

Yozora Kemono was a famous name in their circle and they knew that Souichiro despised the woman, in that regard they were also the same, they hated Yozora Kemono too. The woman had even dared to poison Takagi Yuriko's mind against her husband. Not only that, the woman was a monster, she had killed so many, and then she had walked away scot-free. That was the hardest pill to swallow for the whole group.

"Then we need to deal with them as soon as possible" The fifth advisor said, surprising everyone.

"What are you saying?!" The fourth advisor gasped in horror.

"You can't be serious" The first advisor said while shaking his head.

"I am being serious, very serious" The fifth advisor said with a mirthless chuckle. "We already know that Yozora Kemono was looking for her son and if she hasn't found him yet, then she is going to find him now" The fifth advisor explained. "Do you guys even know what she would do? Just see how strong he is… Yozora Kemono would urge her son to take control of the whole city and I am not even considering her own Power" The fifth advisor growled in frustration.

"Yes, she was much stronger than me when I saw her the last time" Souichiro admitted unhappily, he looked like someone had forced him to eat a sour lemon.

"Which means that she has probably grown stronger since the last time we saw her" The fifth advisor said with a grave look on his face. "If they try to take over the city, then they are bound to clash with us, and to be honest, I am not looking forward to that confrontation. By that time, the two of them would be way stronger than us, they would out of our league" The fifth advisor added with a grim look on his face.

"If you haven't noticed, he is already out of our league" The female advisor drawled with a bored look on her face as she pointed at the screen.

"I know, that is why I am saying that we use a little bit of subtlety" The fifth advisor said coolly. He wasn't happy that he was being mocked.

"Fuck!! This is madness!! You can't be serious?! You are saying that we assassinate them!!" The second advisor shot from his seat as he started to pace by the wall.

"I am with him, this is a stupid plan. I mean, I understand where you guys are coming from seriously!! You really want to send Jigen after the boy?" The first advisor agreed with the second advisor.

"I think, his opinion does have some merit" The female advisor agreed with the fifth advisor and a huge smile bloomed on the fifth advisor's face. "Wait! Let me explain before you start protesting" The female advisor raised her hands to stop the first and second advisors from protesting.

"First of all, his opinion does seem to have some merit, but I don't think that we should send assassins after them just on a speculation" The female advisor said and the smile on the fifth advisor's face disappeared while both the first and second advisor started to smile. "Don't get me wrong, I despise Yozora Kemono, but we are just speculating that her son is just like her. If we do that then we are no different than Yozora Kemono" The female advisor said and everyone in the room grimaced at the comparison, but none of them protested as she was right.

They detested Yozora Kemono because she would anyone if she feels like it without any remorse and she had done so in the past. There was a chance that Yozora Daichi was not like his mother, after all, there was no way to know. "I say that we send Jigen to spy on them. In case he is just like his mother, then we will tell Jigen to deal with him, but if he is different, then we try to reach out to him. He is strong, no doubt and it is also clear that the others are following his lead, including the Busujima girl, which means that the others under him will also follow him if he joins our group" The female advisor explained and everyone had to admit that her plan had the most merit.

After contemplating for a few seconds, Souichiro decided to go along with the female advisor's plan. If they followed her plan then they could also use Jigen to know the enemy's weaknesses and Skills. "Do any of you have anything else to add?" Souichiro asked looking at his advisors. The fifth advisor wasn't happy, but he also couldn't find any fault in the female advisor's plan so he decided to remain silent.

When Souichiro saw that none of his advisors had anything more to say, he decided to give the order. After all, he was the Leader of the group, no matter what the advisors said, he had the final say in every matter. The advisors did have some power, but it wasn't much. "Good, so I am going along with her plan" Souichiro said and after getting nods of satisfaction from all of his advisors, he turned toward the man who had interrupted the meeting with his smartphone.

"You are dismissed and please send Jigen on your way out" Souichiro said, the man was about to pick up his smartphone, but the fourth advisor asked him to let them keep the smartphone for the time being. With no other option, the man could only accept the request. After that, the man left the room without saying anything else. Souichiro along with his advisors continued to watch the Live Stream with rapt attention. After a minute, someone knocked on the door.

"Enter" Souichiro called and the door opened with a click. After a few seconds, a short middle-aged man entered the room. The man was dressed in casual clothes and he had a scarf wrapped around his neck. The most distinctive feature about the man was his dead eyes. The man looked extremely bored and he seemed to have lost interest in everything.

"Souichiro-sama, what task do you have for me?" The man asked in a monotone…
