A meeting that concerned the future destiny of the Shieki Eight Families had drawn to a close.
Rather than a council of the family’s highest leadership, it felt more like a revolution. In the span of just one hour, the family had made several momentous resolutions back-to-back.
First, the war against the Menggui Sect was called off. For the near future, the family's core focus would shift entirely to the objective of hunting down and slaying the "God." Second, regarding the catastrophic incident from the previous night—the "Dragon-form Ghoul raid on the Genji Heavy Industries Building"—the source of all blame unexpectedly pointed to Mr. Masamune, a universally acknowledged contributor to the Shieki Eight Families. Consequently, Mr. Masamune was temporarily stripped of all posts and authority within the family, and even placed under a one-month house arrest by the current Clan Leader, Minamoto Wakasei. Finally, Clan Leader Minamoto Wakasei announced that the family would no longer regard the Secret Party as enemies. Once the issue of the "God" was resolved, Minamoto Wakasei himself would seek out Principal Anjou to achieve a reconciliation between the two sides.
