Taking out Kenta should be the last group that could get in my way once my plans start going into action. Now I need to either find people I can use to help get my plan started. With that I'm going to need to find a place where other villains like to congregate to find some possible allies. Good thing I know how to find a guy.

"Now, where can I find someone who could possibly work for me?", I asked. I was currently holding a thug by knife point in an alley. I made sure to wear my mask so he couldn't see my face.

"I...don't....know", he said struggling. I might have cut him in a few places to cause massive bleeding.

"Sounds like blood loss might get to you. If you tell me the truth I should be able to get you to a hospital in time", I said trying to reason with him.

"Fine! look for....a man named Giran. He's mainly seen...at a bar...called..the shade", the thug said trying to stay conscious.

"Thanks for your cooperation", I said before slitting his throat. As his body fell to the ground lifeless I reached down grabbing a handkerchief he so happened to have on his person. I used it to clean my knife off before putting it back in my suit.

"Time to go have a chat and lucky for me it's night time. Means I can keep the mask on", I said, grabbing my pack of cigarettes and lighting one.

That's an interesting thing I find strange. In the day we question anything that looks unusual but at night when we do we don't always tell someone. It's as if at night we become more tolerable of the things that go bumping in the night most likely because at night is where they are at their strongest. It could also be that my actions against some of Japan's crime families, along with some small murderers like these ones I've committed.

Even just me doing this petty murders has all right started to plant the seeds that will eventually lead to the downfall of this society. First though, I have to plant the seeds of doubt into its people against the heroes they so value. These heroes stand at the pinnacle of society acting as it's protectors; the people trust them with all their being. If I make them begin to question their heroes it will begin to make the heroes fall out of favor. My first goal will be to try and make the heroes look like the villains. First I need to find people who believe in my goal which has led me here.

I walked through the front door to see a mixture of people scattered through the bar. I walked up to the bar itself taking a seat. The bartender walked over while cleaning a drink. I looked up at him as he looked at me cautiously due to my mask I would presume. I just put a smirk on loving how my mask gets that effect with people.

"what can I get you sir?", he asked.

"Just a nice glass of whiskey if you don't mind. I also wondered if you might know of someone"

"And who is this person you're looking for?", he asked while making my drink.

"I'm looking for Giran", I said which caused him to tense up for a moment.

"What's your business?"

"trying to look for like minded individuals if you might know what I mean", I answered.

"He's in the corner", he said while nodding his head to his left. I followed his nod to see a man sitting in the corner by himself enjoying a drink.

I walked over taking my drink with me which I took a sip by lifting my mask up to only uncover my mouth. I left my mask slightly raised above my mouth because I could still see. I stood by Giran's booth waiting for him to notice me. He took a sip of his drink before giving me a side glance. He set his drink down before pulling out his own cigarette. As he went to reach for his lighter I pulled out my own lighting his cigarette as jester of good faith. He gave me a nod letting me know I could take a seat, so I did.
