"Has everything been investigated clearly?" Nora's father, Marcus Valian Lysinius, was a typical Italian gentleman with meticulously combed hair slicked with oil, holding a black-handled cane (which concealed a sword).
"It's said to be because the son of the Voodoo Gang leader went missing recently," Kapaxilin, standing beside her parents, explained, "They don't know who did it, so they've decided to attack the major families to gather information. Every one of the Thirteen Families had younger members attacked."
