                   "Last night, Ren Ootori, the second child of the successful CEO of EchoTech, Shinji Ootori, was found dead in the auction house in Ginza. He was shot dead along with other men believed to be associated with a criminal organization that has been causing serious crimes as of late."

Rindou grimaced at the radio as drove down Roppongi. The news of last night's events spreads like wildfire. "Authorities claimed that Ren Ootori's death was planned..."

The lavender haired male rolls his eyes, knowing that the news would most likely report half baked lies and misinterpreted information. "And yet people believe them as if they were there." he mutters under his breath.

He reaches out to turn the radio off, but the next words he hears from it cause his hand to stop and hover over the button. "..the alleged host of the auction, Olivia Rossi, reported that the host who attended the event was not her and that she was merely impersonated while she was caught in a car accident an hour before the incident."

What?

Impersonated?

The male nearly stepped on the breaks as he recalled last night's events. The memory of your cunning smile as you lead the auction to Sigma's demise flashes through his mind. He can't believe he fell for it. He can't believe how you fooled...everyone.

Ran's amused laugh snaps him from his train of thoughts. "What an interesting turn of events," He remarks with a smirk, glancing at his boss who sat at the passenger seat, eating dorayaki that was bought for him.

"Looks like someone played us well last night."

Sanzu scoffed, a mix or irritation washing over him, "I fu*cking knew it. I knew she was up to something. I'm going to kill that b*tch when I get my hands on her-"

"Sanzu."

Mikey's cold voice cuts him off, making the pink haired male shut his mouth in an instant. "What did I say?" He avoided his boss' cold stare, knowing better than to test Mikey's patience.

"Don't let my emotions cloud your orders."

"And those orders are?"

"Not to lay a finger on her without your permission." He replies defeatedly, like a child answering to his mother's scolding.

"Good."

With that, Mikey continues to stare out of the window with a bored expression, letting himself get lost in his thoughts again. The Haitani brothers stifled their laughter while Sanzu tried to hold himself back from kicking the car's door open and jumping out from frustration.

He was already irritated at how Mikey began to act around him since last night's incident. He hasn't given Sanzu a single order since then. He only ordered the other executives around and didn't even eat the dorayaki that Sanzu got for him.

And to add to that, Mikey only ate the sweets that Ran or the others gave him.

Sanzu was defeated. He sat there like a lost and dejected dog, no longer knowing his purpose now that his master was sick of him.

This was all YOUR fault.

If you weren't there that night, Mikey wouldn't resent him and right now, he could've been hand feeding him dorayaki while pampering his boss like a baby.

"Sanzu, stop acting like a brat. We're here."

The men got out of the car, walking over to a club called 'Odin'. "Ahhh, I missed this place." Ran exclaims, stretching his arms out as they enter the club. Women found their way in his arms almost instantly, knowing him as the owner the club along with Rindou.
