The chairman was crying now and everyone looked toward him with an awkward expression. They did not know what to do with the crying chairman.
Even the guard who accompanied the chairman had never seen him this emotional and broken before. So, they hesitated before making any move.
"Don't you all see the problem here? This is all happening because of Yoko Tsurugi and her selfish decision. We need to capture her and bring her back if we want the Chairman to feel better."
Elder Clent quickly took advantage of this situation to give out an order.
Just because he could no longer use his granddaughter to forge a relationship with Chairman Frank did not an that he gave up.
He would gain power this way if possible.
The guards hesitated to attack Yoko Tsurugi because of the presence of the Griffin behind her. But they could not ignore the orders they were given either.
"Ah, fuck it. I am going to attack."
Finally, one of the brave guards made up his mind and raised his gun. He did not care how powerful soone said Yoko Tsurugi to be. She was a spoilt princess in the end and would likely not last very long against him.
Once one of them started attacking, the other soldiers picked up their guns as well and attacked. Elder Clent watched this happen with a gleeful face.
He wanted to see Yoko Tsurugi panic and drop her arrogant smile. And he was sure that this was the mont that it would happen.
But contrary to what he believed, Yoko Tsurugi showed a calm and serene expression on her face. Not a single hint of panic could be found in her voice when she commanded her party to step back.
"So fools don't know their place in the society. As their better, it is my job to show them where they belong."
Yoko Tsurugi raised her hand and water from the sea rose to form a wall in front of her. Then, the water descended on the opponents like a whip and knocked them all down.
Everyone was shocked at the mastery of the aura Yoko Tsurugi showed.
Heck, even my side looked shocked. Sakura was looking at Yoko like she was a freak Sakura had never seen before.
"See, a little push and you all fall like dominos. How are you going to capture exactly? I don't think you people have it in you to defeat ."
Yoko Tsurugi was arrogant and that pissed Elder Clent off. He could no longer sit on the sidelines and watched his side being defeated.
"Tsk, don't be so arrogant, little girl. Just because you have defeated so foot soldiers does not an you are so hotshots who can take on everyone. It's ti for to show you what real power is about."
Elder Clent walked in front of his group with his chin held high and his eyes flashed. His monts were like lightning as he separated his sword from his cane and attacked Yoko.
He purposely missed his first attack to scare Yoko Tsurugi. He wanted to show her that there was nothing she could do against him no matter how hard she tried.
His sword was held inches away from Yoko's neck and he gave an arrogant smile to her.
"You see girl. This is the difference between you and . There is no way you could ever defeat in real life. So, give up and co with ."
Elder Clent was being gracious when he offered Yoko this offer. He would spare her life if she agreed to work under him.
Except, Yoko looked back at Elder Clent with eyes that ridiculed him.
"I see. So, all you can do is make useless threats toward , Elder Clent. It's such a pity that you are not as strong as you proclaim yourself to be."
Yoko Tsurugi turned her head to look at Elder Clent. That gave him a pause before he tried to step back.
But his sword was grabbed by Yoko and her strength held the Elder in place.
"You had your fun trying to intimidate . And I even gave you a chance to hit by standing still this ti. Since you were foolish enough not to take this chance, it's now up to to take care of you."
Yoko's words were simple and casual. But her powers were raging inside her body. With a single flick of her hand, Elder Clent was sent flying.
But he would not be an Elder if he was so easily taken care of. Elder Clent was able to pick himself up before his body collapsed.
"Tsk, you are the real arrogant one, Yoko Tsurugi. Just because you have a little bit of power, do you think you can take on? It seems like I need to teach you a thing or two about who's really in charge here."
Elder Clent held his hand out and his sword disappeared into a whip.
As soon as Bambi noticed that whip, she shivered and tried to warm Yoko but her voice was being suppressed by her fear.
"Y-Yoko, that whip….be careful."
In the end, this was all Bambi was able to get out before her senses failed her, and she went quiet. That whip made her shiver in fright.
Elder Clent smirked once he noticed how much of a hold he still had on Bambi. Once he had taken care of Yoko Tsurugi, he would have to re-educate Bambi again.
"Let's end this show, Yoko Tsurugi."
Elder Clent raised his whip to attack Yoko but she did not even bother to pretend to be scared. She held her hand out and the chains she was using before condensed into her hand to form a segnted sword.
His whip t Yoko's sword and sparks flew.
Elder Clent used whatever strength he had to push his weight forward but Yoko Tsurugi seed to not even look strained.
'Tsk, is this girl a monster? There is no way that she has this much power inside her.'
Elder Clent refused to believe Yoko Tsurugi's strength. He would prove his status and power right here and now.
...…
Amane let the elder try and use his attacks as much as he wanted to. From the first ti she had faced him, Amane knew that this elder was all talk and had no power.
Either that or the era of peace had brought everyone's power level down.
Back in her day, a person of Elder Clent's strength would have not even been a civilian. He would have been dead as soon as a raid ca to attack his village.
And those raids had been quite common back in the day.
"I see that you have been training, little girl. But you cannot possibly keep your defense up forever. Give up now."
Elder Clent still had the delusional thought that he could win. That made Amane wants to break out into a pearl of laughs.
But instead of doing that, Amane just continued to push Elder Clent back even more.
"And what would happen if I don't give up now? You won't be able to defeat anyway."
Amane finally decided to act. She pushed her sword forward dominantly and cut through Elder Clent's whip.
No one saw that coming and Elder Clent was unable to bear the shock of being hurt. His eyes rolled into the back is his head and he collapsed.
"Tsk, how can he be an elder and not even take a single attack? People of this era disgust ."
Amane spoke about this under her breath so that no one else could hear her.
Once the soldiers saw the Elder go down this easily, they hesitated to attack Yoko. No one wanted to be the next one to face her wrath after all.
"Tsk, you are all so useless. Do you not have the guts to face ?"
Amane asked but no one answered. That should have been the end of things, but Chairman Frank gave a loud gasp of wonder as he looked toward the sea.
"L-Lune, you are back? My son. You are back for ."
Amane looked back in shock, only to notice the Siren she had saved coming back. Only its upper body was visible in the water but that face was the sa as the Siren Amane had put in the sea.
But there was sothing different about this Siren than the one Amane had saved.
This Siren did not have the sa feeling of 'wrong' that Lune had. In simpler words, this Siren had taken on Lune's form to charm the chairman into heading toward it.
"Tsk, everyone tries and stop the chairman. If he touched the water, then he will die for sure."
Amane's world was first t with hesitation before the guards decided that they needed to believe her.
Hands touched the chairman, trying to stop him from moving. But he was stubborn and he kept on shaking those hands from his body. He needed to head toward the water at all costs.
