Baji sits beside his father who was at the head of the table as opposite him was his father's most trusted right hand man.

Baji hates everyone in the room. They're abominable people and are part of the underground community. All he wanted to do is go back to Toman and see Manchiro again. He hope she's doing well.

After all, he did agree to his father's deal that he'll fake his death to the public and change his last name. Then he'll be returned to Tokyo in a few years, if Maria is still single and loves him.

His father would then agree to their marriage.

"Baji?" His father calls for him.

"Yes, father?"

His father signs softly as he rephrased his question. Baji resembles his father ,just that his father has a rounder face and sharper nose.

"If we increase the amount of debt the gamblers owe us. We're going to have more people to harvest organs from. Which is bad because the police are still suspicious of us. Therefore I disagree to the suggestion to prevent our business from being taken down." Baji says as some heads nod.

His father thinks for a moment as he holds his hand to his face, thinking because they want to make more money without getting the government and police involved.

Sure, they have a mole in the police department helping to wipe out information about them, but the mole was also in danger of being discovered soon.

The meeting went by a bit rocky and they arrived at the decision to not do anything yet as Baji was relieved.

He didn't want more people to die and have their organs sold.

As Baji was ready to stand and leave the meeting. His father snaps his fingers.

Baji remains in his chair as a man was thrown into the room by some of his father's guards.

Isn't that the mole in the police department?

"Garu I didn't want it to end like this. But seeing as we've been friends for 2 decades. I'll let you live." Baji's father said as he stares at the mole who was on his knees on the ground.

"Everyone! He leaked some of our secrets to the police. Thankfully the police he leaked to are our spies." Baji's father announced as numerous murmurs could be heard from the people in the room.

"So then. I'll give you a easy way out since we were friends." He said as he throws the mole a tantō.

"Cut two of your fingers off. Don't make me do it for you." Baji looks away as he doesn't want to see how his father conduct things.

Blood spatters all over the ground as ragged pants echoed throughout the silent room.

"Good. Now get out of my sight." His father says as the mole runs away.

Baji stands up with light feet as he bows to his father and leaves the room. He walks slowly down the hallway.

"Baji-san?" Baji turns around to see a teenager girl as he tries to not roll his eyes after that incident just now.

It was the daughter of his father's right hand man. She took one look at him and fell in love instantly. But Baji's heart was set already.

"I'm sorry Komori-san, I have to get back to studying." He says as he walks to the private lift to his room level.(this is the worst excuse I've made for a character 😞)

"And we aren't close, so let's just address one another with our last names." He said to the brunette as she holds her fan to herself, mumbling that it was alright and she'll get him in time. (Yeah it's the hoe in the previous timeskip)

As soon as Baji got into his room. He heaved a huge breath as he kicks the punching bag in his training room that was connected to his bedroom.

His father had been happy to know he enjoys fighting and training so he had the room made and filled with training items for him.

He throws his suit off as he gives a vicious strike to the punching bag as he kicks it, attacking it.

After 2 hours, he was sweaty as he pants a bit, only a bit tired from the workout. Being in that meeting for an hour really set his button off.

To talk about humans having to be harvested and selling their organs like livestock isn't right for him.

Baji gives the punching bag one final punch before it gives up and flies to the ground.

He runs towards it, storming it down just as a knock on the open door stops him as he sees his father there.

"Why are you angry?" His father asks as Baji compose himself.

And out of everyone here, he hated his father the most for existing and bringing him here, away from his mother and friends.

Who was he to bring him here? Especially when he hadn't been in his first 15 years of his son's life?

"I'm not. I'm just working out father." Baji said, taking a chilled drink out of the fridge nearby as he chugs it down.

"Then good progress then. You're a strong boy for your age."

"Yes father."

Baji's father sensing he doesn't want to speak anymore leaves as Baji's butler came in to fix the punching bag to the ceiling.

"Young master. I know you may not approve of your father's ways of making money, I really suggest not to go against him." His butler murmurs as Baji starts taking off his shirt to shower.

"Bold of you to assume I would go against him."

His butler doesn't say a word as he finishes fixing up the punching bag and leaves the room.

I'll kill him instead. Baji vows as his bruised knuckles were beginning to hurt him as he hissed in pain.

The blood from his knuckles mixed into the cloudy soap water as he stares blankly at the wall and water rains down on him from the shower head.

He just wanted to be back in Tokyo.
