Not only Fuma Kotaro, but all the Family Patriarchs now had their eyes fixed on Tachibana Masamune alone. Their gazes were filled with contradiction, as incomprehension, confusion, and disbelief spread deep within everyone's pupils.
Minamoto Wakasei said not a word. He merely sat quietly in his seat, watching with an unreadable expression as the Family Patriarchs displayed their shock and Tachibana Masamune wore a gloomy face.
"Yes, it was me." After a long silence, Tachibana Masamune finally responded to Fuma Kotaro's question. He nodded heavily, his voice devoid of any emotion. "The person who ordered the Maruyama Construction Workshop to build this secret reservoir was me. The person who secretly raised ghouls in the depths of Genji Heavy Industries Building was also me. The family paid a heavy price last night, and I bear an unshirkable responsibility."
