Perched on the verdant rolling shores of Ago Bay on the west coast of Honshu, was where the leader of the top reigning yakuza group has held a special celebration. An exclusive and luxury resort, having an exceptional spa with two large onsen bathing pavilions and complemented by a watsu pool, embraces a classical Japanese aesthetic that makes it unique with the other venues.

"Happy Birthday, Sakusa-kun" Another guest greeted Kiyoomi while raising his glass of champagne.

"Thank you. Hope you'll enjoy the party." Kiyoomi bowed his head and flashed a smile at him before walking away. Even if he doesn't want to, all of the guest invited are all upper class people, partners and have a good connection with his father.

"Tired of smiling already?" Komori asked, handing a glass of red wine to Kiyoomi.

"Fuck it. I swear my facial muscles will be sore tomorrow morning." Kiyoomi irritatingly said as he gulps down his drink.

Komori just stared at how quickly Kiyoomi has drunk his red wine and asked, "How many?"

He looked back at him, confused of Komori's question. "What do you mean with 'how many'?"

"How many glasses have people offered to you?" Komori asked and grabbed Kiyoomi's hand who was about to ask for the waiter roaming around for another glass. Komori was surprised at how does Kiyoomi can still stand at this moment, knowing his alcohol tolerance isn't that good.

"I don't know. I've been accepting every drink they offer to me." He just stared blankly at Komori with his droopy heavy eyelids, feeling tired he may seem.

"You want me to take you to your room for a rest?" Komori placed his drink on the table and stood up from his seat.

"No, I'm fine. My father told me that he invited a special guest so he wants me to meet that person."

"A special guest, you say..." Komori sat back again and took a sip of his wine. "Everyone's already in here though."

"Maybe a new business partner." Kiyoomi stood up from his seat and grab a glass of water, trying to sober himself up. "I don't care who it is but I just want to rest for the night after meeting that person."

"Want me to accompany you there?" Komori asked.

"I'm not a kid, Motoya." He then left Komori behind and walked his way to one of the private rooms of the resort.

"I think this is it." He thought as he saw the room number. He knocked three times before calling out to his father. "I'm coming in, Daiki-san."

As usual, his father only has two or three bodyguards around him. His unknown identity makes him move freely around Japan and he thought having bodyguards around him will attract too much attention. Not even people he has connections with and his business partners know his face. He always does his meetings online without showing his face and always makes sure that his voice is altered.

"Did you greet everyone properly?" Daiki asked as he stood up from his seat.

Kiyoomi nodded his head. "Some of the guests already went to their respective rooms to take a rest while others went to the bathing pavilions to enjoy the amenities of the resort."

"Hmm.. good thing Oiwake found this place." Daiki said while staring outside of the window, looking at the beautiful panoramic view of the island of Honshu.

"Oh, I forgot. You want your birthday present from me?" Daiki slowly walked towards his son before tilting his head down to meet his son's gaze.

"I don't need anything, Daiki-san. I'm already grateful that you took me in." Kiyoomi spoke as he look up to his father. He was sweating bullets and he felt that his hands started to shake so bad. It was the first time that his father is giving him a birthday present and he doesn't feel good about it.
