This man was Yamagami Junjiro, the head of the Yamashita Family. He was holding incense in his hands, respectfully bowing to the ancestral tablets set before him.
His devout appearance brought a sense of tranquility.
Afterward, Yamagami Junjiro slowly stood up and turned his head to look at Mai Shiranui.
