Chapter 28: Prisoner

A man in a business suit followed by his two bodyguards was walking through a mansion. They then walked through the door to the basement, they then opened a metal door. Inside there was a boy (with no shirt) chained to the ceiling of the room the boy was sleeping - "wake him" - he ordered and one of the bodyguards picked up a bucket of water and threw it at the boy

"Ugh!... Dammit, you know there are better ways of waking people up" - said Naegi a teasingly while the man looked at him - "so you are the mighty Jester" - he said looking at him. It was then that his face changed - "to believe that the most dangerous assassin is just a kid for as much I want to believe it I can't... So it would be impossible for you to be able to do everything... So" - he then got close to Naegi - "Where is the real Jester?" - he asked while Naegi smiled cockily

"you are looking at it" - he said smiling. the man sighed before raising his hand, and slapped Naegi, while he did this one of his lackeys brought a jumper cable and a car battery, he then joined both jumper cables showing a spark - "I'll give you one last chance... tell me where the real Jester is and maybe I'll let you live" - yet Naegi only smiled cockily, the man sighed again - "deal with him... pull the truth out of him" - the man then left, leaving the two men with Naegi, they then got closer to him with the jumper cables

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

the 2 days before

Naegi was in the headmaster's room with Jin, Munakata, Kyoko, and Chihiro. Munakata was sitting processing the information he was just told - "so you are telling me that Naegi Makoto is the new Black Jester" - he said a little mad - "And you Jin have been working with the Jesters since childhood?" - Jin then nodded silently, Munakata then sighed... and looked angry at Jin - "Jin I thought you trusted in me more... why the lies?" - he said a little mad, Jin the sighed holding both his hands together - "Munakata... I'm sorry if you believe that. But this is bigger than you, me, and Naegi. It's been a tradition of the Kirigiri family for centuries, and even if I wanted to tell you... I couldn't" - Munakata was mad but decided not to fight more, he then glared at Naegi, who when saw him was surprised at the anger in his eyes

"Why him? of all people why him?"- he asked Jin who looked at Naegi as well - "I don't know Sora was the one who chose him... but after seeing all he can do I believe that Sora made the right choice" - he said making Naegi smile a little - "so if it's tradition... why didn't you tell me?" - asked Kyoko surprising Jin... but...he knew. Kyoko knew Naegi secret for a while but she didn't ask him, Jin then sighed - "not yet Kyoko" - he said to her surprise her and making her mad

"and why did you tell me?" - asked Munakata while he looked at Jin. Jin sighed - "Munakata lately you have been investigating Muraoka Toshimichi haven't you?"- Munakata looked at him surprised. Lately, Munakata wanted to create a branch of Hope's Peak Academy in the USA... and while the project was moving steadily. There was one issue: Muraoka Toshimichi. He was a powerful Japanese casinos owner. He was against the Idea of Hope's Peak, the pride of Japan to be internationalized, and he was interfering with the internationalization - "are the rumors true?" - asked Jin looking at Munakata. He then got thoughtful. Lately, Munakata had been investigating the guy... and found horrible rumors, Muraoka had risen to power by eliminating his competition by murder and extortion. And also that he had connections with the mafia and with slave sell (the one Naegi killed was a worker of his) - "Yes they are. I sent Juzo as a spy to investigate and he confirmed everything. So I'm to think that he is the next target?" - Jin nodded - "do you know you are probably sending him to his death?" - he said shocking Kyoko - "Muraoka it's always protected by his guard... on his main casino "Demon coins flip" it's watched 24/7 his main office is protected by at least over 50 body guards, sending Naegi... would only kill him" - Jin then smiled
