When a Boxer meet the Yakuza Princess

The Bait to lure the Lion

A few months passed.

A consecutive knock was heard in a dark room. It was Henry, Manuel's coach. He keeps on calling him to eat and leave his room even just for a while. Manuel was sitting on the floor near his bed. He has no intention of opening the door.

He stares outside. It's raining. The cold was affecting his weak body. He was sick for two days now. His body was burning up. He remembers his mother and his chicken soup. During the rainy season, she will cook soup for him and his sister. They will all sit at the table and had a happy conversation. But all was in the past now for they were all gone.

After the funeral, he locked himself and it's been months since he went out of his room. The doctor and the nurse will just visit him once a month to check his damaged hands. It still hurts but he can grip now and form a first.

The reporters were bugging him also. His phone keeps on ringing, he was pissed off that he slammed it on the floor.

Luckily, he still has his coach caring for him but he keeps on pushing him getting him out of his life. But the consistent coach won't give up and patiently waiting for him. Patiently understanding him.

The knock died out. He assumed that he walks out already leaving him a bag of food on the door.

He stands and walks to the door. He opens it and gets the bag. He carried it inside and put it on the table. He opens it and fishes all the food out. He stared at it before he starts digging in.

This was his routine since then. He was being impatient, he wants his wound to be healed fast but the damage was so huge, it will take more months.

As the day, weeks and months passed. His wound slowly healed. He started to condition his body for he will need it for his aim. Day and night, he keeps on exercising none stop.

He only lives alone for he sends away his helpers and maids. He plans to sell all his property and vanish from boxing, from his hometown, and from the people who know him.

Every day was a busy day for him, as his wound was healed. He contacted his one trusted friend, Edward the nerd. A master in tracking people and finding anyone in the world.

They were both focused on their work especially Edward. His speed is incredible Manuel couldn't catch up. A few hours had passed when his hand stopped from typing on the keyboard and look up at the big screen in front of them.

Edward: Gotcha! I found him!

Manuel walks near the screen with a red dot on it. Edward zoom in on the map and found a very tall building located at the heart of Tokyo, Japan.

The nerd also displayed on the screen all about Jackson's involvement with a famous Yakuza clan. The Yamaguchi was a very powerful Yakuza in Tokyo but they have lots of enemies and also allies.

Jackson was one of the giants. He was a respected man inside the organization. He has many underlings scattered all over the world.

Edward again showed him a very important information. Jackson was hitting the Yamaguchi heir to become his wife. Manuel saw a beautiful woman in her '20s. He stared at her for a short time engraving her in his head. She will become his bait to lure the lion.
