Xerine's POV

"Xerine, we'll sit here," Anna said while choosing the vacant table near the stage.

I went to Yokohama, Japan with Anna and Shinee for my piano performance. Well, I just kinda want to use them as witnesses that I'm really here for my piano performance. I'm not just here for my performance. I'm also here to buy something illegal.

The venue is full of Yakuzas. They are not just here to watch me. Each of them has their own agenda. I also have mine. Glad that this venue is secured. I don't want to put my friends in danger even though I'm using them.

A man in a tuxedo approached me. "Pafōmansu o ima sugu kaishi suru hitsuyō ga arimasu," he said.

I nodded. I went on top of the stage and sat in front of the piano. I'm going to perform the Piano Concerto Op. 42 of the famous Arnold Schoenberg.

I placed my hands on the keys. Looking at the piano makes me happy. Music calms me. Music is also my comfort zone. I made so many songs, but that's just a mere hobby. Plants are my top priority.

I started pressing the keys. The sound of the piano makes me feel so good. My fingers started moving on their own like they already knew the next key to press without me knowing it.

It's just so fun to play with the piano. The sound that it releases is magnificent.

I performed the whole concerto. It's not that long, so it's just okay with me. I can also perform Peripetie, but I need to go back to business.

I went to my friends after the loud claps from the crowd. "How's my performance?"

"That was insane!" Anna exclaimed. "That was so good!"

"You really are a different person when you're in front of the piano, Xerine," Shinee commented.

I smiled after hearing those. "The food will be here in a few minutes. Wait for me. I'm just going to the restroom."

They both nodded.

I glanced somewhere as I felt so many pairs of eyes are watching. I saw the man. I'm going to deal with him. He motioned his hand to a black door. I nodded. I let them enter first and I followed them.

The Group of men in black didn't surprise me even if they are just standing behind their boss. Leather sofas can be seen all over the room. Even the smell of cigarettes and alcohol can't be denied.

"Konbanwa, Yashime-san." I bowed my head as a sign of respect.

"Suwatte kudasai," he uttered in a serious tone and deep voice.

I sat on a leather sofa in front of him. "Is my weapon already here?" I asked him.

He smirked without breaking eye contact with me. "You are still straightforward, Xerine Delgado."

"I have no time to waste. I need my weapon right away."

"Alright, Miss Delgado. I don't also want to waste my time."

One of his men gave him a black suitcase. He placed that on top of the center table that serves as a boundary to both of us.

"Mitekudasai," he commanded.

I lingered my fingers on the case before unlocking it. A mini crossbow that just fits right on my hand is inside. There are also some bottles. And I know those bottles contain poison.

"This is gorgeous," I smirked.

He laughed. I wasn't shocked when he took out a gun and pointed it at my head. "Watashitachiha ima torihiki o shite imasu."

I stared at the hole of the gun. I entered one finger inside that fucking hole. "I'm not going to involve you on my next move. I just need this."

I stroked my finger inside the gun's hole before grabbing it. I pointed it to his head. "Bang bang, Yashime-san."

I saw his eyes widen. The men in black pointed their guns at me. I laughed then I stood up. I put the gun inside my pocket. I grabbed the briefcase and winked at them. "We had a nice transaction. I hope we are going to be friends."

"Just g-go home!" His deep voice suddenly shook. Lovely sound.

"Alright alright. Arigatōgozaimashita."

I exited the room with a wide grin plastered on my lips. My plan will start. This is really good. Very good.

I saw my friends drinking champagne at their table. Anna is looking drunk while Shinee is looking at me with that confusion in her eyes.

"Sorry if I took so long. Someone talked to me all of a sudden."

"Xerine, their champagne is really good!" Anna almost shouted her words. "I don't wanna leave Japan!"

"Xerine, we should go back to the hotel," Shinee said, but she's still looking at me like she's trying to figure something out.

"Yeah. We should."

Me and Shinee helped Anna. She can't even walk straight. She's really getting to my nerves when she's drunk. She can't control herself. She's losing her composure. That's something I don't like about her. She looks indecent when she's hella drunk.

We are already riding the taxi when Shinee asked me while I'm sitting beside the driver. "Xerine, what's with the suitcase? You don't have that just a while ago."

I cleared my throat. "That's a gift from the owner of the party."

"What's inside?" she asked next.

"Money and some pieces of jewelry." I glanced at her through the rare view mirror. "Wanna see?"

"No. That's a gift for you. That's only yours."

I smiled after hearing her answer. She's really smart, but she's also easy to manipulate. She's kinda good at observing things, but easy to fool. In tagalog, alam ko na ang karakas niya.

"I'll sleep, for now, Xerine."

"Okay. We're still far from the hotel. Sleep well." I smiled.

I looked at the driver. "Don't drive roughly, sir. One of my friends is drunk. She might vomit what she drank inside your taxi. I don't want to cause any mess."

The driver nodded.

I leaned my head on the windshield while starting to plan the first move on using my dear buddies.

My dear chainsaws.
