Outer Ring, inside an abandoned building.
A tall woman was on the phone.
This woman was Sarah.
"Help me investigate the Motorcycle Clan's event in the Outer Ring. It should be called Hellfire Ride, right?"
"I want to know the specifics of their activity."
"Oh, and I need to dispatch some more personnel over here."
"Information regarding the demonic blade held by the Second Miss of the Xingjian Family might surface soon."
Sarah said with a smile to the person on the phone.
"...Sarah, are you sure you have this under control?"
"That Second Miss of the Xingjian Family is rumored to possess Void Hunter Level strength."
"Acting rashly might alert the enemy."
A mature male voice came from the phone.
"Don't worry, Commander Bringer."
"This Second Miss of the Xingjian Family is currently involved in a conflict between two gangs."
"You just need to send some people over to support me, and while you're at it, keep an eye on the movements of H.S.O.S 6."
"I will handle my matters myself."
"Perhaps there will be other gains too?"
Sarah replied with a light chuckle.
"...You want me to send a bunch of useless people over? Do you think that will work?"
"That is a person possessing Void Hunter Level strength. Don't blame me for not warning you."
"Don't end up failing there."
Bringer questioned her tone.
"Relax, I am well-prepared this time."
"There is quite a significant gap in strength between this Second Miss and her older sister."
"I suspect she has barely reached the Void Hunter Level, but I also found some strange news."
"Although this Second Miss is publicly acknowledged as a member of the Hoshimi Family, I couldn't find any record of her past life trajectory."
"It's as if she appeared out of thin air, and her identity information was only registered recently."
Sarah shared the information she had investigated.
"Isn't that normal?"
"She is the trump card secretly cultivated by the Hoshimi Family. If you could easily find her previous life trajectory, how could it still be called secret cultivation?"
"And that might also relate to the source of the Hoshimi Family's second demonic blade."
"How could they let you discover it so easily?"
Bringer was puzzled.
"According to my investigation, the Head of the Hoshimi Family was searching for a woman some time ago."
"Reliable sources suggest it should be the Second Miss's birth mother, but for some unknown reason, the search stopped later."
"My guess is that they couldn't find her."
"The information found about the Hoshimi Second Miss came from The Hollow."
"She was wearing the uniform of H.S.O.S 6, walking aimlessly like a lost child."
"She eventually found a Public Security Bureau and registered her identity information."
"Prior to that, her identity information was completely blank."
"Not a single trace of her life could be found anywhere."
"The situation was the same with information from the Hoshimi Family; moreover, according to a certain source, the Hoshimi Family was unaware of such a person before this."
Sarah voiced her confusion, though she didn't expect Bringer to provide her with answers.
Although she and Bringer were of the same rank, Bringer's sources were not as extensive as hers.
"...You mean this Second Miss appeared out of thin air?"
Bringer inquired.
This matter had also piqued his interest.
"Not certain yet."
"But what is certain is that she is indeed the biological daughter of the Head of the Hoshimi Family."
"Originally, I suspected she was a secret weapon created by the Hoshimi Family."
"Both the demonic blade and she herself were copies modeled after Hoshimi Miyabi."
"But that press conference overturned that theory."
"So, do you understand the strangeness of this information?"
Sarah spoke with a strange tone, as if recounting a horror story.
"...Perhaps you just haven't found it."
"How can a living person just appear out of nowhere?"
"Alright, I won't chat with you anymore; I have official duties."
"I will handle the things you mentioned."
"The people will arrive by tomorrow at the latest."
"Also, I hope your results won't disappoint."
After speaking, Bringer hung up the phone.
"Hoshimi Aya... Hoshimi Miyabi..."
"Demonic blade..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"It's getting more and more interesting."
Sarah put away her phone and licked her lips in thought.
