Levi began going through the names on the list.
Let’s see… We’ve got Raysonia’s first and second largest business conglomerates, the Yamaguchi Corporation and Matsugami Corporation…
A local tyrant in the Raysonian underworld named Shin Yoshikawa…
The Watanabe family which serves as the military strategist of Raysonia (Former family of the military strategist, Tenichi Watanabe)…
The six ancient martial arts clans of Raysonia, namely the Kitajima family, the Hattori family, the Nogawa family, the Kameda family, the Kuno family, and the Yagyuu family…
And lastly, the Taiin Shrine which houses a huge number of priests (similar to Erudia’s master of magical techniques)…
Those are the key forces of The Dark Sun, and they all have very specific responsibilities. Some contribute financially, some provide firepower, and some are in charge of strategizing. However, the organization is highly secretive, and practically no one in Raysonia knows of its existence. The Dark Sun had devised many plans in secret, but Delano’s actions had exposed every single one of them. He’s currently hiding in Edojo, the capital city of Raysonia. So, his loyalty is with the Watanabe clan, I see…
Levi was fully aware of Delano’s whereabouts at all times.
“Which one are we closest to right now?” he asked.
Robed Slayer was able to quickly pinpoint the locations of those key members. “Since we’re in Ulmrich, I’d say the Matsugami Corporation. The Kameda family is also here in Ulmrich, but they’re a bit farther away.”
“In that case, let’s start with the Matsugami Corporation!” Levi said with a cold look in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Delano had just told The Dark Sun all about Robed Slayer’s recovery and him being stronger than before, much to their surprise.
“This won’t do! If he’s here in Raysonia, then we must make sure he stays here permanently!”
Word about Robed Slayer being in Raysonia soon spread like wildfire, and most of Erudia had found out about it.
“What? Robed Slayer is in Raysonia? And he’s already recovered?”
“What’s he planning to do? Is he going to bring glory to Erudia?”
Everyone in Erudia was still mourning the loss of Levi, which came as a huge blow to the Erudian martial arts world.
As such, the news about Robed Slayer sparked some hope in the hearts of the people, and they began to focus their attention on his whereabouts.
The Dark Sun too had sent their warriors to hunt down and kill Robed Slayer.
A huge party was taking place in a fancy mansion in Ulmrich, and most of the guests were sons and daughters of wealthy businessmen or prodigies from Ancient Warrior Families.
They were the most excellent among the youth of Ulmrich, and they had all gathered around to attend the birthday party of Sakurako Matsugami, the heiress to the Matsugami Corporation.
Sakurako was dressed in a white evening gown and was greeting the guests at the door.
“What? The eldest son of the Kameda family, Ichido Kameda is here?”
Ichido was the heir to the Kameda family, one of the six Ancient Warrior Families in Raysonia, and his appearance excited a commotion among the guests immediately.
Unlike the other heirs of wealthy families, heirs of Ancient Warrior Families were extremely powerful and could easily crush them all at will.
That was what made him the most important guest at the party, and even Sakurako herself wasn’t expecting him to show up.
Everyone then flocked toward him and bowed to show their respect.
“By the way, have you guys heard of the latest news? Robed Slayer of Erudia has arrived in Raysonia!”
“After the fall of Levi Garrison who ranks first on the Gem List? Does he have a death wish or something?”
Everyone began discussing about Robed Slayer.
“Do you guys think Robed Slayer will come to cause trouble here?” someone asked all of a sudden.
An arrogant smile formed on Ichido’s face when he heard that. “I’ll let you all in on a little secret. My family took part in the killing of Levi Garrison!”
“What?” Everyone looked at him in shock and admiration.
“Levi will die if he so much as sets foot here in Raysonia, let alone Robed Slayer!” Ichido continued with a smile.
