Chapter 106

"The transaction's just up ahead." Junichiro said as we walked down the alleyway, "We have to hurry before the Port Mafia notices that we're gone."

We continued walking.

"Damnit, you old geezer, why?" Someone said.

I realized it was Tachihara. He, Gin, and Hirotsu were up ahead.

Our eyes widened and we hid behind a bush.

"Just kill the freaking detectives." Tachihara told him.

We peeked through the bush to look at them.

"Just remember what the Boss said. 'Francis might be with the military police so make sure you don't go near their business'." He told Hirotsu, "Even though they ignored the Boss's orders and went off on their own. I can't believe how they're disrespecting the Boss!"

"Still not giving up your old gangster habits, Tachihara?" Hirotsu said calmly, "The Port Mafia's actions are not determined by whether or not it's disrespected. But instead, whether or not they're faithful to the Boss's wishes... 'Don't let anyone hurt the Agency. Protect them with your life if necessary'. That is the order we were given and we will follow. To put it another way, the Boss knew very well that they were about to engage in dangerous business. There you have it, detectives. Have you heard quite enough yet? Even you,
L/n?" Hirotsu and the other two looked in our direction.

My eyes widened.

"Mr. Mori sure is a worrywart, isn't he?" Yosano said as we stepped out, "Well he doesn't need to worry. Your deal with Francis isn't a trap like he suspects it might be." Yosano walked over to them. So did Kenji and Junichiro, I followed behind them.

"Oh? How are you so sure?" Hirotsu asked her.

"Cause I know Atsushi believes him." Yosano smiled at him, "Atsushi fought with Francis when they were both aboard the Moby Dick. Once you bare your soul to someone by trading mortal blows with them, they won't be fooled by your lies anymore."

Hirotsu sighed and looked at me, "L/n."

I felt nervous as I looked at Hirotsu.

"I'll have Gin escort you back to the Headquarters."

"W-what?"

"Our orders were to get you back inside the Port Mafia's Base safe and sound. Those were the Boss's wishes."

Gin walked over to me and Junichiro moved out of the way. She gently grabbed my arm.

"Let's go, L/n." Gin said in her usual, gentle voice to me.

My eyes widened more, then softened, "Sorry, but I'm not-"

I noticed an ambulance driving over to us.

"The ambulance is here!" Kenji exclaimed, "We've been waiting for you, Atsushi!" He ran over to the vehicle.

Suddenly, the ambulance exploded, causing Gin to let go of my arm. I quickly stepped away from her as I looked at the explosion with wide eyes.

Kenji flew into the air and landed on his face behind me.

"KENJI!" I ran over to him and kneeled beside him.

"Do not move!" A man shouted.

I realized there were men with shields surrounding us.

"Targets surrounded! Capturing the suspects now!"

"Kenji!" Junichiro ran over to us.

My eyes widened whenever I realized there was a sword in the air flying down at us.
