But I also want to explain to Mr. Ling that they are all low-level ninjas from the Iga-ryu, and they need to completely follow orders. Their duty is to search all suspicious places, so they are serious and responsible now."
Watanabe Hideaki's few words surprised Ling Zhenfei immensely, almost making him see things in a new light. These two sentences were spoken neither obsequiously nor arrogant, creating an opportunity to resolve the situation for both parties without offending anyone, while making each side feel their actions were justified.
However, Ling Zhenfei knew there was indeed a Hoshino Meigetsu in his room, so if they really searched, it certainly wouldn't withstand investigation.
Ling Zhenfei said, "If you all want to search, I have nothing to say, since this is indeed the Watanabe Family's place. But please tell Mr. Watanabe Nagayumi, that I'll move out now and leave the Watanabe Family."
