Shadows Of The Twilight (Book-II)

(Same Day)

(3rd person's pov) :

It was late night and dark outside when, Dazai and Emily went to the place where Q has been imprisoned by the Guild. It was a small broken old farmhouse in between a forest like area full of trees and greenery. And surprisingly there was no one around. The place was quite.

"So... This is where Q is being kept." Dazai mumbles.

"Do we really have to recover that brat!?" Emily annoyingly asks letting out a sigh.

"Unfortunately we have no choice" Dazai replies.

Suddenly thousands of spotlights were lighted pointing at the couple. Emily let out another boring sigh at this.

"Pleasant Evening isn't it?~" A blonde man cheerfully spoke up behind them.

Emily and Dazai turns around to look at the blonde boy and there were a whole force of Guild's operatives in black suit with spotlights spotted at the couple; and holding automatic machine guns at each of their hands. There were more than hundreds and they were surrounding the whole area.

In between them, there were two men. One who wished them for evening. And another one was his partner.
Those two were also Guild's member. They were the ones who attacked Naomi and Haruno earlier too.

('Howard Phlliips Lovecraft' and 'John Steinbeck' of the Guild)

"Seems our strategist has hit the nail on the head once again in predicting your movements~" John smiled.

Dazai smirks, "We figured this would be a trap."

"Shall I kill them?" Emily asked totally unfazed at the blonde John and his partner standing nearby.

(At the Mafia's Headquarters)

Mori was standing on the edge of a bed in a room. The room where he killed the Mafia's previous Boss in Emily and Dazai's presence.

With a faint sound of footsteps, Hirotsu walks in.

Mori who was facing his back to him asks, "Our troops?"

"They have been deployed as ordered." Hirotsu informed bowing down.

After a moment of silence, Hirotsu speaks up, "Boss, you are aware that I have been with the Port-Mafia under you longer than the Previous Boss."

"You are quite a senior here." Mori replies.

Hirotsu took a breathe before speaking, "The Organization was practically in ruins towards the end of the previous Boss's tenure. He was gravely ill, and his orders were erratic. The Port-Mafia had to engage in conflicts aimlessly losing many of our men as well as our properties. Sooner or later he would have destroyed this city, if you hadn't taken his seat."

Ougai darkly smiles tilting his head to the old man, "Is there a point to all these babble?"

"I simply wanted to state that ..I believe, Mr. Dazai and Miss Emily fully understand your intentions." Hirotsu stated.

"Even if Dazai or Emily didn't intend to take my position, all of my decisions were all rational and optimal." Ougai replies touching the dried stains of blood on the wall near the bed in the room, as he continues, "Therefore, I have no regrets."

Ougai then gets a serious frown on his face, "But.. if Dazai and Emily had still been there as my right-hand men, the Guild would have been no match for the Port-Mafia!"
