"This might be the second time the assailant came this week? Yesterday wasn't the first assassination attempt, right?", Conrad asked, making Karen's smile gone and her face changing into a serious one.

"Yes, that was not the first time. Yesterday night was the fourth time since it happened a month ago. It started right a week before Tsukasa-sama was released from the prison", Karen explained, turning away and walking to the direction of her living room. Louis and Conrad looked at the back of her head in confusion.

"Come, I will tell you once we are inside and sit comfortably", Karen said as she stopped walking and looked back at the two confused men. Louis and Conrad nodded their head before they followed her.

-April 3, 2017-

Today was the day when Yakuza's potential recruits received their first training. As the temporary leader, Karen needed to give a welcoming speech to the recruits to show that they were welcomed to the family.

Karen and two of her assistants, Yosuke and Gou, drove from Yakuza's main headquarter in Tokyo, Japan to a remote location in Mito, Japan. They drove for almost an hour and half before they arrived at their destination, a deserted beach in Mito, Japan.

"Ane-san, please wake up, we are here now", Yosuke said softly as to not startled the sleeping woman as he shook Karen lightly from the front seat while Gou parked the car and switched off the engine.

"Hmmm?", Karen mumbled softly, rubbing her eyes with her hand.

"We have arrived, ane-san", Gou replied right before he opened the driver's door and came out of the car.

"Oh we have arrived. Okay, thank you", Karen replied, stifling a yawn that escaped through her mouth with her hand. She heard a soft click beside her before a male voice followed it.

"Karen! Ouch Yosuke you ass, why did you do that?! Darn it, stop hitting my head like that! I lost ten thousands brain cells every time you hit my head, do you know that?!", the male protested hotly, making Karen turned her head to see him.

"Don't call ane-san like that and don't try to be a smartass Taka because it doesn't suit you at all. And just so you know that there is a good news, your brain can repair itself from damage so there's no need to worry about it", Yosuke rolled his eyes at the over dramatic Yakuza new recruits' trainer, Taka Suzuki.

"STILL! IT DOESN'T- mmmm!", Taka yelled but Karen put a box of tampons inside his mouth to keep it shut.

"This is still quite early for you two to banter like old ladies. Come on, I need to go to a convenience store to buy tampons as soon as possible", Karen said matter-of-factly as she put her aviator glasses on, walking away from the car to the place where she saw some groups of people gathered near the beach, leaving the dumbfounded men behind.

"Is that a tampons' box on your mouth, Taka? It is! Darn it, this is priceless hahaha", Gou laughed loudly, slapping Taka's shoulder with his hand. Taka narrowed his eyes at Gou, he was about to do something when he heard Yosuke's voice.

"Come on, we have to go. Ane-san will be mad at us if we chat here any longer", Yosuke said as he walked to the direction where Karen gone.
