A black BMW with tinted windows made its way down the street, reflecting the street lights and neon signs that it passed. Those who saw it quickly moved away, knowing what it signified.
It crawled to a stop outside of a bar, alongside other identical cars.
“We’ve arrived boss.” A deep voice spoke up from the drivers seat.
“Mmm.”
The man got out of the drivers seat, his height towering over the car. He had wide shoulders and a long mustache, donned in an expensive black suit. The sight was rather intimidating, yet it could be seen he was not used to wearing such things.
He looked around briefly, as if scouting for any potential dangers before heading over to the back door. Due to the tight suit, his movents looked a little strained, yet he did his best to hide it.
Upon opening the door, a man wearing a similar suit stepped out of the car. He was considerably shorter than the other and was clean shaven. The man ran his hand through his balding hair and let out a sigh.
“Chibi, I told you to get a suit tailored. It looks like you’re gonna rip the damn thing every ti you walk.” Tsukasa said, his tone full of exasperation.
“A-Ah sorry boss. They said they didn’t have enough material to make one in ti.” Chibi responded, feeling a little embarrassed.
Tsukasa waved his hand dismissively, letting out a small sigh.
“Anyway, let’s hurry up.”
The two made their way forward, stopping in front of the door to a bar.
Chibi knocked a few tis in a certain sequence and stepped back behind his boss, showing the correct etiquette for such an occasion.
A few monts later, the door opened, showing a well-dressed man with slicked back hair and a simple mustache. His looks were borderline model material, though his eyes held a restrained viciousness that would make people uncomfortable.
Though not as bulky as Chibi, his fra was well-toned, visible even through the suit he was wearing.
“Tsukasa! It’s good to see you brother.” His face flashed with a smile, showing his perfectly straight teeth.
He walked forward and embraced Tsukasa as if it had been a long ti since they’d last t.
“Good to see you Tomo.” Tsukasa replied, hugging back half-heartedly.
He wasn’t really fond of such physical contact, though he did his best to accommodate the man in front of him. It had always been like this for this guy.
The man called Tomo stepped back, placing Tsukasa at arms length.
“I almost didn’t recognize you in that suit.” He said with a chuckle.
“Are you going to let us in?” Tsukasa asked, shaking his head at the hospitality of his counterpart.
“Ah yes of course, I got too excited seeing you again.” He said matter-of-factly, ushering the two inside.
Once they walked in, Tsukasa made a gesture with his head, directing Chibi to the corner where so of the other guards were standing by.
Chibi did as he was told, not uttering a peep. The people in here were far too influential for him to have a chance to get a word in.
“Who is here so far?” Tsukasa asked.
“Naoki and Shin will be here soon but the boss won’t arrive until 8pm. Apparently he has a bit of business to take care of.” Tomo’s words were enough to insinuate so things, yet Tsukasa didn’t seem bothered.
Tomo took Tsukasa into the back room where there was a luxurious lounge set up. There was a poker table in the corner, alongside a pool table and so fancy couches spread out.
The mont he walked in, he saw a few people in the midst of playing so pool. As they turned around, their faces changed instantly and they bowed.
“Welco, Lieutenant Tsukasa.”
“Mmm.” He nodded in response, quickly losing interest.
“Katsuya, Kiyo, co say hello to your Uncle.” Tomo said with a grin.
At his words, two of the teens made their way over and bowed once more, showing great respect.
“Oho? These are your two boys?” Tsukasa asked, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
The two raised their heads, showing their youthful faces. He could tell at a glance that they were Tomo’s children, since they both looked extrely handso. Especially the one on the left who looked like a model.
“Hehe, last ti you saw them Kiyo was barely 10.” Tomo replied, his features showing just how proud he was.
“Mmm, you two have grown.” He said, patting them both on the shoulder.
“In sports news, the U18 baseball World Cup Super Round continued today. Here’s a report from Miya Fukuda”
The sound of the TV report in the background sounded out, causing Tsukasa’s ears to perk up. He swiftly ignored the two boys and walked over to the TV.
“Hey, can you turn this up?”
Everyone seed a little confused by the change of pace, but soone quickly obliged.
“Thank you Rika. Our Japanese National Team took on the US in what many are saying would be a preview of the Finals.”
“In an unexpected twist, the US team were overwheld by the batting prowess of the U18 Japanese Team who managed to amass 10 runs by the 2nd inning. The ga was cut short in the 7th inning with a score of 11-1 in favor of Japan.”
“Hahaha! Take that you Arican scum.” Tsukasa shouted, his face lit up in a big smile.
Tomo raised his eyebrow in question, not understanding the reaction.
“I didn’t know you were into baseball?” He said questioningly.
Tsukasa turned around and laughed, his mood clearly improved from earlier.
“I’m not really, but the boyfriend of my niece is playing in the U18 National Team.” It could be seen by his expression how proud he was of the fact.
“Your brother?” Tomo’s face morphed, as if he was trying to rember.
“Iron Chin Tetsu, you rember him right?” Tsukasa said with a grin.
At those words, Tomo shuddered subconsciously.
