UNDERGROUND BASE OF SHIE HASSAIKAI

"What a dreary office you have here..." Tomura commented as Chrono lets him inside Overhaul's quarters which was largely an empty room that only consisted of a table, a pair of couches and the Shie Hassaikai logo which was placed on the wall.

"I don't like to clutter my office with needless junk." Overhaul replied, sitting on the couch opposite to Tomura.

"You had me going in circles for a good half hour. What kind of base is this?" Tomura asked in annoyance.

"We don't know who's watching nor do we know what our guests are thinking. There are many routes that have been connected underground. This reception room also serves as an underground hideout." Overhaul explained.

"Its because we take these kind of measures that our organization has managed to survive this long." Irinaka added. "Now then, about what we discussed on the phone the other day; were you for real? That depending on the conditions, you'll side with us?"

"That's a rather self-serving way of putting it." Tomura replied as he took his seat on the couch in front of Overhaul, kicking his feet up on the table as he did. "YOU'RE the ones who want to use my League's name. But since we're both looking to expand our influence, for the time being, our goals align."

"Get your foot off my table. You're dirtying it." Overhaul demanded.

"I think you mean, 'Please, put down your foot', young boss." Tomura replied arrogantly. "If anything, you should be bowing your head in respect."

Overhaul remains silent as he continues to listen to Tomura.

"First, we're not gonna answer to anyone. We'll do whatever we want." Tomura continued. "Call it fifty-fifty. In other words, we're willing to work with you in a 'joint venture'."

"Is that the only condition?" Overhaul asked.

"There's one more." Tomura replied. "That 'plan' you were talking about earlier...Tell me more about it. Its only natural, after all. If we're gonna work together, we have to know as much as we can about each other. If you won't then I'm not going to lend you our name for your worthless schemes."

"Although..." Tomura said as he reached for something in his jacket.

Irinaka's left arm bulks up and forces Tomura to put his head down, allowing Chrono to aim a gun at the back of Tomura's head.

"Don't get so arrogant." Chrono warned. "You're getting a little ahead of yourself, don't you think?"

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, PUNK?!" Irinaka yelled.

"That's my line, shorty." Tomura shot back, not phased by the fact that he was on gunpoint. "Do you really think you're small fry Yakuza human shields compare in value to Magne? Or even the other members of my League? Don't forget about Compress's arm, either. If you're not even willing to make a small compromise then I have no intention of working with you."

"Is that right?" Overhaul asked.

"Yeah." Tomura replied.

"Good to know." Overhaul said as he laid back calmly.

Just then, two knights enter the room. One of them wearing a big bulky armor.
