Blood. Blood was dripping from my forehead. Panting, I tried to catch my breath. For a minute, I was tempted to look back and see if the Japanese Yakuza was chasing after me.

I muttered a curse, trudging through the quiet street, making sure to hide in the shadows, avoiding all streetlights.

Stupid Japanese Mafia Boss and his claim to rule the mafia world.

But I will never let him.

Not after killing my entire family.

Thinking about them, a brief flashback of my father screaming for me to flee before a bullet passed through his head, instantly ending his life, appeared in my line of vision.

I clenched my hands into fists, sadness and fury burning inside me.

I will make sure that the Japanese Mafia will pay for what they did. 

I will avenge my father. My family.

From this day forward, they have declared war.

And war they shall have.

"What?!" both Astherielle and Nico looked at me incredulously.

"So let me get one thing straight, your sister and that Tanaka girl's sister was connected?"

I nod, taking a light sip from the milkshake Kevin got for me.

We were sitting inside Rhythm with Kevin calling for a meeting.

There was no time to rest. Takahashi had started taking countermeasures which meant that things could get really dangerous moving forward.

The recent encounter was proof of that. And despite having no deaths on our side, I couldn't claim that there were no casualties.

I knew that it was only the beginning. I have a full journey ahead of me. There would be more encounters and the closer I get to Takahashi, the riskier things would be.

"What does this mean for us? This Tanaka girl has closer ties with Takahashi. If we want to stage a personal attack, in my opinion, Suzue Tanaka would be of greater help than Hanabi."
