Bonten's Advisor

Thirty Three

"Hello?" Hanma's irritating teasing voice squeaked through the phone. 

"We found a dead guy and a skeleton in a cave. The man has your gang tat-"

"Ohhhh, you found him? Wait, why are you even there?"

"That's our question to you, asshole," Sanzu spat into the phone. 

"Heya, Haru~." You sighed, and Sanzu rolled his eyes. 

"You gonna answer our question or what?"

You both heard Hanma laugh on the other end of the phone. "That cave is part of a private property that we owned earlier. But we put it on the market since we had no more need for it. Guess we forgot somethings~"

You facepalmed at his stupidity. "Anything else we should know?"

"There's random weapons at the accommodation on the top of the hill that overlooks the beach. Check the attic. Man, what a relief that you guys found it. I completely forgot I asked someone to dump the body in the cave."

"The body is at least three days old. What are you, an old man with Alzheimer's?" Sanzu retorted, grabbing the phone from you. "I'm going to have to update boss about this. Is there anything else you wanna say?"

"Yeah, a couple of things actually." The sound of him blowing out smoke from his cigarette was briefly heard before he spoke into the phone again. "Tell your boss that I want a partnership with Bonten. I want you guys to import the prostitutes to us. I want Ichythus to be the main. Ditch the old company."

"That's up to the boss to make that decision. It'll be better if you talk to him about him personally." You stated, your voice echoing in the cave. "I'll be updating him about the situation, including the contents of the cave and the weapons in the beach house. Is there a specific way you want us to get rid of the body? Oh, and the jar with the eyes."

"Ooooh yes. Keep the eyes, I want them back."

"Koko might ask you to pay for them if you want them back though. Have fun getting them back," Sanzu snorted, as Hanma clicked his tongue in annoyance. 

"Money freak-" Hanma scoffed under his breath.

"Okay, we're gonna dispose of the bodies." You decided, letting Hanma know before he asks for anything extra. 

"Yes, yes. Go wild," He acknowledges.

"Bye," Sanzu stated quickly, cutting the call. 

"Phew, thank god that's out the way now," You sighed deeply, placing your hands on your hips in annoyance. "Let's just take the jar and report back?"

"Yeah, let's go." He replied quickly, grabbing your free hand and leading you out of the cave. 

"We're back~!" You sang as you entered through the main doors of the accommodation. You nudged Sanzu's side and he immediately took to the stairs to get to the attic. 

"You guys took a while. Did something happen?" Kakucho asked, leaning his elbows onto the kitchen countertop.

"Yeah, everything was normal, except we encountered a dead body, this-" You placed the jar down onto the countertop of the kitchen, watching as Kakucho's eyes widened, like the eyes in the jar. And sure enough, it caught the attention of the other executives sitting around on the couch, causing them to gather around the table.

"Where'd you get this?" Ran asked, lifting the jar to the light and viewing it from underneath. 

"The cave, with the body."

"What body?" Koko interrupted, snatching the jar from Ran and inspecting it. "Man, this pair of eyes are a rarity nowadays."

"Icthus's traitor, we assume. We came across it in the cave. Turns out that Hanma ordered one of his men to dump the body there three days ago and forgot about it. Turns out he also owned the land here before you guys. Sanzu's checking the attic for-"
