They must be fully prepared for the day of battle.
At that time, the battlefield will be a closed-off world of knives and fire!
If the opponent dares to come, they will never return, and will surely die!
"I understand. I'll have people prepare immediately."
His heart finally at ease, the Ninth Divine Official, filled with suppressed joy, pulled out his phone and said this to the Tenth Divine Official.
However, the Tenth Divine Official reached out and pressed down the Ninth Divine Official's hand.
Then, the Tenth Divine Official said, "You can't accomplish this alone."
"Then shall we do it together?" the Ninth Divine Official asked, a hint of confusion in his voice.
"No, we need to rope in those two as well." Shaking his head at the Ninth Divine Official, the Tenth Divine Official said with a sinister smile.
Upon hearing the Tenth Divine Official's words, the Ninth Divine Official first froze.
Then, with a sudden realization, he burst into laughter, "Haha! As expected of you! I understand!"
He naturally knew who the Tenth Divine Official was referring to!
"Didn't you hear? Hurry up and drive, let's go find the Prime Minister!" Seeing his driver in the front passenger seat still looking bewildered, the Ninth Divine Official said in a hearty tone.
The driver didn't question it further. He would do as the Ninth Divine Official commanded.
If he said to go find the Prime Minister, then they would go find the Prime Minister!
That evening, the Tenth and Ninth Divine Officials, along with the Prime Minister of Sakuraguni, concluded their important discussion.
Then, they sent someone to invite Mitsui Kenji.
For the two whom the Tenth Divine Official had mentioned were none other than the Prime Minister and Mitsui Kenji!
Upon hearing that it concerned the provocateur, Mitsui Kenji rushed over in a hurry.
However, after listening to the two Divine Officials' plan, Mitsui Kenji found their actions to be somewhat despicable.
Sitting before the two, Mitsui Kenji's tone was filled with confusion and hesitation.
"Mobilizing the martial strength of the entire nation to deal with a lone provocateur..."
"Banzan, Sanjo, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Looking at Sakuraguni, no one dared to address these two without the title of Divine Official, except for Mitsui Kenji himself.
Of course, the two Divine Officials, being addressed this way by Mitsui Kenji, were naturally displeased.
"Mitsui, we just came from the Prime Minister's, and he strongly approves of our plan." Thus, Banzan, who was usually steady and cautious, showed some displeasure towards Mitsui, speaking in an unhappy tone.
"That's right, the Prime Minister fully supports us. Mitsui, are you going to defy the Prime Minister's orders now?" Sanjo, sitting beside him, couldn't contain his temper like Banzan. His words were filled with contempt and provocation from the outset.
Originally, this matter was meant to be discussed among the three of them.
But Sanjo's words instantly angered Mitsui Kenji.
After glancing at Banzan, Mitsui Kenji glared fiercely at Sanjo.
Then, Mitsui Kenji said with a cold and impatient tone.
"Don't try to pressure me with the Prime Minister. You know my strength. Killing all three of you alone would be a trivial matter!"
Mitsui Kenji certainly didn't feel there was anything wrong with his statement.
However, to the Tenth and Ninth Divine Officials, Mitsui Kenji's words were simply too arrogant!
Banzan could still control his emotions, but Sanjo couldn't. He immediately stood up in anger, pointing his finger at Mitsui Kenji's nose.
"You... You!"
Sanjo, with his fiery temper, was so enraged by Mitsui Kenji that he couldn't speak.
"Sanjo, I know you have a bad temper, but from now on, when you see me, you must curb your temper." Mitsui Kenji looked at Sanjo's finger pointing at him and spoke coldly.
Suddenly, an icy chill permeated the not-so-large main hall of the shrine!
This is bad!
Banzan, who reacted first, inwardly cursed!
Then, he intended to shield Sanjo behind him.
However, Mitsui Kenji's movements were far faster than his!
Whoosh—
A gust of wind, and then!
Sanjo's neck was already clutched by Mitsui Kenji!
It must be known that Sanjo, as the second most powerful Divine Official of Sakuraguni, was already at the Grandmaster level!
Despite his formidable strength, Mitsui Kenji was still able to attack and aim for his life before he could even react!
This was Mitsui Kenji's true strength!
"Otherwise, I will take your life." After striking in an instant, Mitsui Kenji's hand clasped Sanjo's neck, and he warned him in a chilling tone.
Immediately after, Mitsui Kenji released his grip.
Thump!
Sanjo, now free, knelt on the floor with a flushed face, struggling to breathe.
"Cough cough! Yes... Yes! Lord Mitsui! You are right to discipline me! I know I was wrong..." Sanjo's bad temper had been cured by Mitsui Kenji. He knelt before Mitsui Kenji, coughing violently, and apologized with a face full of fear.
Mitsui Kenji, naturally, couldn't be bothered to acknowledge the apologetic Sanjo kneeling before him, not even sparing him a glance.
"Hmph, it's good that you know you were wrong."
After coldly leaving him with those words, Mitsui Kenji's gaze turned to Banzan, who was standing beside him. "Hey! Why are you standing up? Are you trying to defend this scoundrel?"
In fact, Banzan should have stepped forward to defend Sanjo.
However, being questioned by Mitsui Kenji like this, he obviously couldn't tell the truth.
"Heh heh, President Mitsui, you're too humorous. I just sat for too long and stood up to stretch."
"Mitsui, you've vented your anger. So, what are your thoughts on the matter we were discussing?" Banzan could only force a smile at Mitsui Kenji and sat down to ask.
Upon hearing Banzan's question, Mitsui Kenji naturally knew he was changing the subject to avoid further trouble.
Although he understood Banzan's sly intentions perfectly at this moment, Mitsui Kenji had more important matters on his mind and couldn't be bothered to argue with him for now.
Thus, Mitsui Kenji casually waved his hand at Banzan and said to him,
"My headquarters were blown up by that provocateur. What do you think my opinion is?"
Although Mitsui Kenji did not directly answer Banzan's question, his statement made his meaning abundantly clear.
