"You truly can't hear a single footstep on the terrace," Fuma Kotaro said with certainty. "Aside from the dozen or so people we just killed, there is no one left on the terrace. None of the other members of the Menggui Sect have come up."
"Then where could they have gone? Aren't we the Menggui Sect's target?" Sakurai Nanami paused, her brow furrowing deeply. "Herzog has distributed Shieki Eight Families' authority among the various Family Patriarchs under the Clan Leader. As long as he can hold us hostage or kill us, he can regain half of the control over the Shieki Eight Families. Wouldn't that be of even greater benefit to his resurrection of the 'God'?"
"If their only goal was to kill us, those men with heavy weapons on the speedboats would have made their move long ago," Fuma Kotaro shook his head. "We are not the target of their raid. There must be something inside Takamagahara that Herzog wants, which is why the Menggui Sect members didn't destroy Takamagahara right off the bat. That thing must be immensely important to Herzog."
