Chapter 120: A Long Road to Adjustment
Satoshi remained in recluse for fifteen days.
And during those fifteen days, a major event shook the jujutsu world.
Kamo Shin—elder of the Kamo clan, president of the Blacksmithing Association, and master of Cursed Tool forging, passed away within the Kamo estate.
Before his death, Kamo handed down his final wishes, transferring the position of president of the Blacksmithing Association to the Gojo family.
The Kamo clan, having lost a foundational pillar, weakened further, while the Gojo family gained control over the Blacksmithing Association, elevating their influence and reputation to new heights.
Apart from those directly involved in or witness to the bet, no one knew the real reason behind Kamo's death.
Though Takuya felt some regret over Kamo's passing, as the only Grandmaster in the world of Cursed Tool forging, his loss was significant, Takuya understood that Kamo must have done something to provoke the Gojo clan's wrath.
Otherwise, both the Gojo clan's decision and Kamo Shin's willingness to accept death so readily would be unexplainable.
Takuya sighed.
He had obtained the presidency without any real qualification to lead the association. For now, all he could do was bluff his way forward, relying entirely on the prestige of Satoshi.
After all, the man who forged Ryūjin Jakka had already become a god-like figure in the entire forging world.
