"What the fuck?!"

Sanzu shouted as he saw the two familiar faces, especially Senju Kawaragi.

Senju didn't waste time running to Sanzu and kicking him straight in the head, making the man late to react.

"San—!" Rindou was about to shout until he was grabbed by Wakasa from behind.

Rindou immediately looked back and kicked his hand away causing them both to stumble back, but Wakasa moved back and regained momentum, running up to Rindou, who was also running up to him, and they both kicked each other, desperately trying to lock one other's joints, the two men's fighting style was almost the same.

Members from Brahman started attacking the building as well and Bonten started calling their backups, hurling each other attacks, and the place was starting to get in chaos.

"Shit," Koko grunted as he slowly stands up from his collapse a while ago due to Wakasa's kick.

"This isn't the old times anymore." He gets a gun from one of their men who just came in time. "Pistols and physical attacks are useless as fuck."

"You all don't play fair, huh?! Attacking us out of nowhere?!" Koko grabbed a rifle and began shooting the opponents, blood splattering all over the abandoned building. He was enraged, not because they were being attacked, but because one of them was a traitor who had lured them all in here. He swore he had never been so angry in his life, and what he loathes the most is when people don't play by the rules and act like snakes around him.

Even though he's one of those snakes sometimes, and by that, using valuable monetary to people who are also valuable to use, all fair and square.

Kakucho is also fighting using his Glock to shoot some Brahman men, he immediately composed himself and stood up when Senju landed a surprise attack on some Bonten members that caused them to collapse, which Kakucho was included; the same as Koko, he also felt utterly enraged, mercilessly killing anyone who attacks him.

His speed was astounding, as though when his opponent blinks even for a second, Kakucho is already behind them, shooting their head from behind, blowing their brains off, his speed is what outstands him in Bonten, not just only his strength and ability to trick his opponents.

He's not called the Bonten's number 3 for no reason.

Some of the Brahman members had guns as well and started shooting, some were just lucky enough to find barricade walls and dodge bullets, even with their hellbound surroundings, group of men fighting each other physically, kicking and punching, while the others have their guns out.

Takeomi reclined back for the position, putting his crotch forward, and began shooting straight at the opponents after lighting one of his cigarettes and using an akimbo gun.

Meanwhile, Senju and Sanzu were still fighting, the woman frantically going behind his back and attacking him with her elbow and then landing a kick on his stomach, Sanzu tried to stop her by going under her and punching her stomach who coughs in pain, but she composed her breathing and ran up to Sanzu again.

"Lil sis knows shit, huh?" Sanzu chuckled as he dodged Senju's punch, but then he was caught off guard when Senju suddenly went behind him and landed a kick on his head.

"You shit head." Senju grunted as he lands on her hands and feet then jumped near him to plot another attack.

Sanzu spits blood and gritted his teeth, Senju attempted to land another kick, but Sanzu grabbed her feet and swayed her then threw her on the wall that made her groan in pain.

"You bitch." Sanzu grunted as he took his katana out.

Takeomi side-eyed Sanzu who was walking toward Senju, clutching her stomach while laying on the floor. Sanzu was about to slash using his katana, grinning as he thought of ending it until Takeomi came in front of them to kick Senju and Sanzu, causing them both to collapse on the floor.

"The hell?!" Sanzu shouts.

"Go find some useful opponents, I'll handle this bitch." Takeomi told Sanzu as spits his cigarette out and pulled Senju's hair harshly.

And then, Ran Haitani who is also battling with some Brahman men. Using his baton and a Glock, kicking and punching them, and terminating it with a shot in the head.

A man behind Ran attacked him, one of the top executives of Brahman, named Keizo Arashi, known as Benkei.

Ran narrowed his eyes as he stepped back, his eyes immediately flew to Benkei's pockets, where he saw a metal bulge sticking out and knew he had a gun all along. Ran expected Benkei to only use his physical strength due to his large physique, but he was also a sharp man, and he knew Benkei had an advantage, and that is deceiving his opponents into thinking he doesn't have a weapon with him that can quickly end them with a single punch.

But Ran knew that very well.

Ran suddenly stepped behind him and did a rear choke and grabbed the weapon inside Benkei's pockets and used that to hit it on his head, but Benkei immediately grabbed his biceps and made Ran land his back on the floor who grunted in slight pain.

"Trying to get my gun, huh?" Benkei laughed and stepped on Ran's stomach.

Yet Benkei didn't notice Ran's baton which he use to stab Benkei's feet with it who almost punctured his skin which emits a loud groan from the man, and Ran used that opportunity to stand up and hits Benkei in the face with the metal baton.

"Let's fight without weapons, shall we? You're starting to get a little weak for your size." Ran snorted as he threw his baton and gun away, then placed his hands inside his pockets.

Benkei who was clutching his head on the floor and blood pouring out of his nose had no choice but to agree.

The battle between Bonten and Brahman lasted more than minutes, and everyone was exhausted from the horrendous sounds of guns firing everywhere, knives slashing, and harsh punches and kicks landing on each other in the hopes of knocking each other out, especially in the middle of the night, when the ambiance is set perfectly, raining and the moon beaming brightly above.

Mikey was watching everything like a show from the top corner of the building, his hands in his pockets as he stood, his eyes fixed and darkened, eagerly observing the fight, and everyone who attacked him, he simply dodged and kicked.

"Mikey!"

His ears perked up as he heard a voice behind him.

Mikey looked back and saw Senju.

"Let's simply put an end to this and give us what we want—!" Senju was cut off as Mikey walked up to her and spoke.

"No."

"Do you see what's happening down there?! There's a high chance that one of your men might die! And—" Senju shouted on his face, Mikey's face was still composed and stoic.

"I said no. And that's final." Mikey replied.

"Y/n or your men's lives?!" Senju shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice shaky and filled with rage, beads of sweat rolls rolling down her hair to her face.

"Oh?" Mikey chuckled and glanced down at the floor as he shook his head, then turned away from Senju and walked away.

"Go on, fight whenever and however you want, even if this conflict between Brahman and Bonten lasts for a hundred years, those lives of the men of yours won't and will never equal to her." Mikey said.

"Well? How pathetic of you risking the lives of your men just for Y/n, a simple deal with bringing her back to us won't hurt, don't you think?" Senju aggravatingly retorted.

"Pathetic? I don't think so, because I know my men's capabilities and strengths, they won't be taken down that easily," Mikey said. "Why? Perhaps... do you doubt your members?" 

Senju's jaws clenched and her brows furrowed as she became enraged and ran to him while he was facing back, but Mikey anticipated and blocked her kick, Senju's eyes widened as she nearly lost her balance, but she staggered back and gathered her vigor, then she attacked Mikey again.

Mikey only dodges Senju's attacks while his hands were inside his pockets, and he didn't fight back or anything at all.

"Senju! Enough of that!" Wakasa shouted behind.

The woman's eyes widened as she looked back, she soon stopped her desperate attacks on Mikey and stepped back, leaving a heavy tension behind and a trail of fuel.

The fight between the two opposing gangs soon slowly falters, and they stop and look at their leaders.

"Go back! Leave this shithole in an instant." Senju commanded her members, and the men immediately nodded and obeyed, they knew whenever their boss has this tone in her voice, they surely are fucked up.

"I'm not done yet." Senju whispered to Mikey as she walked past him.

Inside the car, Y/n was spamming messages to Mask already after he sent the text that totally left her intrigued and full of questions.

(Mask) :

And after that, all were just spammed messages from you, and you had over at least 73 missed calls.

You decided to text him again, but he wasn't replying or anything.

It had been over an hour, and you decided to just stop and decided to unlock the door. It's hard to deny and hold back your actions after what you had just seen, which are the two familiar faces, and Mask's message.

And now, Y/n is furiously attempting to open the door car, even using her hairpin, knocking down the window, and finding a metal that looked like a key, but it was all useless. She knew something was going on outside, and it was bloodshed. You crawled on to the backseat to have an easy access.

As if on a miracle, the door unlocked.

You pulled the handle of the door, desperate to get out until it opened, and you were faced with Bonten.

You looked up and they appeared infuriated, a heated aura emanating from them, and you swore you saw them like this before.

"I-" Your words were cut off as Mikey shoved you back inside the carefully yet forcefully.

Your heart thumped out of your chest as Ran and Rindou sat alongside you in the backseat, and Sanzu took the shotgun seat while Mikey was on the driver's seat, and you flinch as you heard them slam the doors shut.

You glanced outside the window and saw Koko, Mochi, Kakucho, and Takeomi who looked pretty bruised up compared to these four inside the car with you.

If you speak at this moment, you feel like you're going to burst something. You just stayed quiet. You didn't want to push their buttons further. You know for sure they aren't in a good mood.

"Y/n." You tried to stop the flinch when Ran called you, but it didn't work, and you felt his eyes narrow from your side.

"...What?" You muttered, barely audible.

"What did you see a while ago?" Sanzu asked, and his tone wasn't the same as usual, he was usually playful and cocky, but this is a serious side of him that you may or may not want to see.

"Nothing..."

"Then why were you trying to escape just now?" Mikey told that made your eyes widen.

"I didn't...?" You replied, your voice small and in a low tone, feeling intimidated to face the four men inside the car. "It's not what it looks like. It was cold and I was about to find a c.r." 

"Speak louder." They commanded.

Shit, you despise it when you're in situations like this, yeah, it's thrilling, but you hate it when you get stuck and stumble over your own words; it's as if you have no defense against them, which is partially true, but it feels that way in general. They were like a ticking bomb, one cut on a wire and it'll explode; you haven't seen them get really mad yet, but you think it's starting.

"I-I didn't, the windows were foggy... and it's raining, I-I swear I didn't see anything—" You tried to explain, gritting your teeth as your gaze kept still on the floor.

And of course, they didn't believe that.

They didn't say a single word after that, and Mikey just started up the car and starts driving away.

You don't know whether you should be composed or be more nervous, but all you know right now is that it's bad, really bad.

The drive back to the penthouse was painfully quiet after some hours, it was almost unbearable.

You immediately went inside the penthouse and walked straight to your room, until you heard Mikey speak.

"We'll be going back to our base tomorrow." Mikey announced. 

You notice Mikey give you a sharp look from afar inside the penthouse while talking to the Bonten members, and your heart almost dropped.

And soon enough, you felt some of the executives staring at you, and as you can't take their heavy stares anymore, you sprinted to your room.

In the living room of the penthouse, all of the Bonten top members are there, sitting on each chair and couches, all slumped down with their bandages and bruises, clearly in a bad mood.

"Who sent the location?"

Mikey spoke orotundly, breaking the heavy silence in the room.

No one answered, the room still bitterly silent, only the breeze outside the penthouse and the ticking of the clock is heard.

Their boss sighed and placed his gun on the glass table firmly which caused a loud thump, echoing in the room.

"If no one sent the location, Brahman probably wouldn't just attack us out of nowhere especially that we are here in Roppongi." Mikey added.

"Ran, Rindou, mind explaining?"

The two brothers who were slumped down on the couch lazily and looking unbothered while being scolded raised their brows.

"To be honest, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about us; I know we play a role here, especially since it's in Roppongi; I hired a lot of security, both in and out of the border and wherever we go; even if our security is tripled, being ambushed doesn't equal that circumstance, and I thought hiring security was only for Y/n? Let's say we beat up several skanks in Brahman with no difficulty, minimal injuries, and Y/n was not hurt or even touched, but it doesn't mean we should be composed or stay unalert." Ran explained.

"Yeah, and don't worry, I'm not blaming Roppongi or you two for that anyway." Mikey replied.

"K." Rindou mumbled while Ran held back his laugh.

"Tomorrow, we will go back to our base, as I mentioned earlier, so just a heads up, we will inspect every area in our mansion, when I said every area, I mean everything, even the corners, and rooms, every fucking thing, understand?" Mikey sternly said.

"Yes, boss." They replied in unison.

"And with that, we will also inspect including the office."
