Act 69: The Outrage

Evelyn had just finished her opening speech where she thanked everyone who joined her in celebrating her 24th birthday, when she suddenly changed the subject to make a so-called "surprise announcement" that is said to "shake up the White Lion triad as a whole."

"Introducing, the newest member of the White Lion triad..." Said Evelyn. "... Mayuka Goto!"

The audience gave a round of applause. Ren hears the familiar name and decides to ask Yuichi.

"Hey, isn't she your friend?" Said Ren.

Yuichi didn't answer. As soon as Ren glanced at Yuichi's direction, he saw exactly why.

Yuichi was shaking, seething in anger. His friend, his ally, Shino's dearest girlfriend... has been forced into serving for the Triad against her will.

His anger continued to intensify when he saw Mayuka, visibly broken and depressed after all the torture she had suffered, being pushed and shoved around by Triad goons to move.

"Uhh, dude...?" Said Ren.

"Ren. Hand over the buzzer. NOW." Yuichi replied.

"But it's far from 19:00 yet." Said Ren. "Chill out, dude. That attitude won't-"

"NOW!" Yuichi replied.

"Yuichi, I'm serious." Said Ren. "If you do anything funny before 19:00, it'll be-"

Suddenly, Yuichi smashes his wine glass directly toward Ren's face, causing him to fall over his chair. Yuichi then mounts on Ren and grabs his right wrist.

"YOU GONNA HAND OVER THIS FUCKING BUZZER OR NOT?!" Shouted Yuichi.

"Yuichi... I'm warning you..." Ren replied. "If you hurt me seriously... I'm gonna do the same to you twice o-"

Yuichi then takes the broken wine glass, breaks it into even more pieces until only the handle remains, and jams the handle onto Ren's ear canal, causing immense pain and blood to gush out of the hole

"I SAID HAND OVER THE FUCKING BUZZER TO ME NOW!" Shouted Yuichi. "HAND IT OVER! HAND IT OVER!! HAND IT OVER!!!"

"... No..." Ren replied.

Yuichi then proceeds to shove the wineglass completely toward Ren's rupturing his eardrum and rendering him deaf in that ear.

Ren screamed bloody murder as soon as the wineglass was jammed completely onto his ear, giving Yuichi ample time to take the wristatch-like buzzer from Ren, press it and send dozens of Red Lions toward Kai-En-Tai.

Suddenly, a pair of bouncers ran toward the commotion and grabbed Yuichi away from Ren. Yuichi, who, at this plint, was fully consumed with rage, was having none of it.

"LET GO OF ME! LET... GO!" Shouted Yuichi. "HRAAARRRRGH!!!'

He then took a grab at one of the bouncers' lower lip and pulled on it with as much force as he could, forcibly, causing the bouncer to scream in pain and let go of his grip. He then grabs the bouncer by the hair and slams his head onto the other bouncer's head beneath his shoulder. He repeated this process until both bouncers pass out due to massive blood loss.

With nobody left to restrain him, Yuichi then runs off towards the podium at full speed.

As soon as Evelyn was down, Yuichi immediately runs up to her and wraps the microphone's wire around Evelyn's neck. He then tightens the wires around  Evelyn's neck as much as he can to effectively choke her out.
