An uneasy restlessness echoed from the corridor. No doubt the black-suited Manki-shu bodyguards had already spotted Minamoto Wakasei and clashed with the current Family Head of the Shieki Eight Families. Amidst the commotion, the sound of firearms being cocked could even be heard.
Fortunately, the disturbance did not last long, and the loaded bullets were never fired before everything returned to peace. Presumably, the woman in the white suit had already rushed to the scene and timely averted the conflict.
