"Mr. Masahiro, what's wrong with you?"
"Mr. Masahiro, what did the Sword Saint say?"
The upper-level officials anxiously inquired.
Ono Masahiro took a while to recover his composure.
He said blankly, "The Sword Saint said that our Sakura Country Martial Arts World is not as good as the East Nation's Martial Arts World.
The reason he let Lord Tokugawa and the others retreat was to protect them.
And..."
"And what?"
Someone asked urgently.
Ono Masahiro clenched his teeth and said, "And the Sword Saint also said that if Lord Tokugawa and the others don't retreat, our entire Sakura Country Martial Arts World will be subjected to a bloodbath!"
"What?! If we don't retreat, our entire Sakura Country Martial Arts World will be subjected to a bloodbath?!"
"What kind of joke is that? With the Sword Saint here, who would dare to bloodbath our Sakura Country Martial Arts World?!"
The upper-level officials all shouted angrily, clearly not convinced.
