Chapter 85: The World's Strongest Swordsman

Hiyori seemed to have realized something at this moment.

"Could it be...?"

"That's right, it's the Kanagawa City General Hospital that we visited yesterday."

"Then...?"

Ryuto stood up with a troubled expression.

"It seems like this matter is quite serious, and it seems to involve the government as well. We should go back now, we can't afford to be on the wrong side at times like this."

"Understood, Lord Ryuto."

****************************************************

"The Kanagawa City General Hospital..."

A voice came from the machine.

"It was a deception. I almost got fooled by that cunning woman. The installation of the bug was exposed so quickly. But the most surprising thing is that kid, he actually guessed correctly."

In a certain research facility, a tall man with short hair was talking on the phone with the head of the institute.

"While it's true that the bug inside wouldn't be able to pick up anything if they were speaking so softly on the balcony, but..."

"That kid didn't expect that we also installed one on the balcony, and it's a highly concealed one, different from the others."

The tall man looked quite pleased with himself.

"Anyway, even though we don't know how that woman found out, now that we know her whereabouts for tonight, it should be easy to ambush her. And if it comes to close combat, then there's nothing more to say."

"Yes, of course. I'll make sure to take care of her tonight."

The tall man sounded very confident.

"Remember, capture her alive. After all, she has great value for use."

The other person emphasized multiple times.

"So, should we be concerned about the Sword Sorcerer in the Far East? After all, she has hindered him twice before."

"There shouldn't be a need for that."

The tall man was a little puzzled by the response.

"Why?"

"Because, based on what just happened, they are not allies."

"That's true."

But after hearing the explanation, the tall man felt relieved.

"In that case, the Sword Sorcerer in the Far East has no reason to help that woman. Moreover, it seems like she has also deceived that guy named Ryuto. So, I think that woman is in a tight spot now."

"Which means the Sword Sorcerer in the Far East will align with us?"

In response to the tall man's question, the other person answered without hesitation.

"There's a good possibility. If that guy named Ryuto seeks revenge in the future, there's a high chance that he will end up like this, after all, we have a common enemy."

"Tch... so we won't be able to fight against the Sword Sorcerer in the Far East."

The tall man clicked his tongue with a hint of regret.

However, soon, a roar from someone could be heard on the other end of the phone.

"You fool, don't forget our goal. Right now, the result must be our top priority. We can't let other things affect the bigger picture. And don't forget that the Sword Sorcerer in the Far East is from a certain family."

"Tsuchimikado?"

"I'm not sure why the Sword Sorcerer from the Far East has come here, but we should try to avoid conflict as much as possible. Otherwise, it may lead to international issues and disrupt our plans. The worst-case scenario would be facing that monster Tsuchimikado Taehoku."

The other person spoke angrily.

"Is that man really that powerful? Maybe it's just a rumor."

The tall man questioned.

"While I haven't seen that guy in action, don't forget about his reputation. That's it then, if there are no other changes, we'll proceed according to the original plan."

After repeating the instructions, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

The tall man slowly hung up the phone and murmured to himself, lost in thought.

"S-Class Mage, the world's strongest swordsman - 'Move Disaster,' huh?"
