"Boss, Kotaro was ambushed at the Demon Sealing Family ancestral home. A fierce battle ensued, and eventually he was defeated and kidnapped."
The attackers were likely Iga Ninjas, some of whom appeared in the last campaign against Tokugawa.
But behind them, there must be other companies providing technical support. We're currently unable to track the precise coordinates and no one has contacted the company either...
Boss? Boss? Did you hear me?"
"Sigh... I know, I know, keep looking into it, let me be alone for a while."
Li Pan covered his face, sinking into a self-denigrating spiral of 'why are my subordinates a bunch of good-for-nothings who can't even handle the smallest tasks without screwing up'.
Well, actually, it's not fair to blame Kotaro this time. After all, it was at Li Pan's request that he went to retrieve the Divine Chariot in a state of war, got separated from the team, and was overwhelmed, so his capture was quite normal.
