Chapter 1101: Ryosuke: The Cruel Reality ’Grinds’ Down My Edges (2)

"Immediately investigate who has gone missing from the scene since that so-called ’King of Fighters—The KOF Tournament’ started."

"Also, have the forensic examiner perform an autopsy."

While saying this, Ryosuke squatted next to the corpse and began to

The hand that was pressed down couldn’t move at all, not even a single finger.

Plus the words of the other party, Ryosuke immediately guessed.

Blossom Cherry!

The Blossom Cherry he had been waiting for!

He didn’t expect them to come to him so soon!

In Ryosuke’s expectation, at least a few days or even a week would pass before they came to him to ’replenish manpower’ after they lost one or two more people.

Could it be...

The manpower of ’Blossom Cherry’ is not as abundant as imagined?

No sooner had this thought appeared than Ryosuke denied it.

’Blossom Cherry’ couldn’t be short on manpower.

That left only one possibility...

Jason!

’Sword Saint’ Jason!

Only this answer made sense.

’Blossom Cherry’ must have received news that Jason was the ’Sword Saint’.

So, they couldn’t wait to have him join.

Ryosuke speculated in his heart, but asked knowingly aloud.

"Who are you?"

"’Blossom Cherry’."

"Have you heard of this organization?"

"We are like a mutual aid society within the police force; we invite some elites to join every year—we have reached out to you, Ryosuke, in a very subtle manner, but you turned a blind eye, or rather, you refused."

"However, we think your abilities are outstanding and believe it is necessary to give you another chance."

The other party said it in a grandiose manner.

"Is it because of Jason, perhaps?"

Ryosuke bluntly unveiled the other party’s purpose.

"See, I told you Ryosuke has outstanding abilities."

"At least, your insight is pretty good."

"And you are very straightforward."

The other party laughed without denial.

"We indeed need someone who can connect with Lord Jason... After all, he is the first ’Sword Saint’ in a hundred years!"

"And Ryosuke, you are the most suitable candidate."

"Don’t worry, there will be benefits... A price that will be undoubtedly substantial."

The other party continued.

Ryosuke, however, was even more forthright, he said gravely—

"Jason is my good friend, so you’ll need to... raise the price."
