153 Have you heard about...Shokugeki?

China...

Beijing...In TongZhou district...

It was 1 AM, the night sky was illuminated by the big white moon, the city was silent and no sound could be heard. After all, not after the rain of gunfights that took place here just a few minutes ago.

If you could walk a few steps towards a dark alley that leads to an underground building, you would see dead bodies of gang members scattered across the road. Some were wearing black suits with a red blind man on their collars and some were wearing purple suits with a golden tiger symbol on the back.

Going down the basement, *BANG*, a sound of a bullet penetrating a man's head could be heard. Alexander sighed as he put his gun back "I thought he would be hiding here for sure this time." Alexander said disappointingly.

Vlad took out his tablet and went through some of his data "Strange...My information says that he was here two days ago." He pondered with a frown on his eyes.

"So we killed another gang without finding him, how many does this make, the 5th or the 6th?" Alexander kicked the man he just shot in the head "I am sick of looking for a man that keeps disappearing like a ghost!" He shouted.

Keanu stepped forward and put his hand on Alexander's shoulder "Relax, nothing will come out of anger. There isn't that many places he could be hiding in any way, will find him soon."

"How soon?" Alexander looked at Keanu and asked.

"Very soon, unlike the past, we are now moving actively and searching for him, word has already spread that we are looking for Haru and sooner or later, someone will come to us with information about his whereabout trying to curry favor with us," Keanu said. Vlad. Before Alexander can say anything, Alfie came up from downstairs with a huge pile of documents.

"Oi! Axy! you won't believe this! these guys; The Golden Tiger and The White Python gang have close ties with the Spring Gang who our guys is controlling, they have a lot of investments together." Alfie said as he dropped the documents to the floor.

"...?" Alexander looked through the documents briefly "...Organ trafficking, human trafficking, Drugs, and Illegal firearms...they do have a lot in common don't they." Alexander smirked. He then turned to Vlad and gave him the documents "Send a copy of these to our friends in that shitty communist council, I want them to cancel all of the Spring's gang members from movement now at this moment." He said. Vlad nodded and took the documents and then went up to do his job.

While it may seem strange that they need to ask the government to stop all of the illegal actions of a gang, it must be noted that not all gangs are fighting the government. Most of the gang in China or any other country have strong ties with the government as they bring in the difficult currency and serve the rich and officials of the country. Something the public doesn't know of, not openly at least.

Alexander sighed and stretched "Damn it! school has already started a week ago!" Alexander was frustrated, it was a mistake from his part to let that guy roam around freely while trying to catch him using legal methods, he should've listened to his grandfather a long time ago and chased him with a squad with the best of their men and kill him in the spot "God! how immature I was!!" he kicked the ground with his heels and then he started walking up to exit the building. Alfie and Keanu exchanged a look between themselves and then they nodded to each other.

In Another Location...

Italy...

Roam...

The dinner party between the underworld's biggest names was taking place. A lot of fat old men and ugly scarred youths were sitting around a table while eating food that was prepared to them by the Noir Chefs they had summoned. It felt like they were tasting heaven's food right now.

One chef wearing a black uniform with a bandana covering his mouth and nose stepped and leaned forward "How is the food, gentlemen? I hope you had a great time!" he said.

One fat and bald man started laughing "Kahaha!! Chef Saiba is really the best!! Why don't you come and work for me already!!" he said.

"Indeed, if you come to England, I could arrange for you to work in my mansion with a handsome salary of course." Another chimed in.

Saiba chuckled "It makes me happy to hear such words from such powerful men as yourself, but I still need to polish my skills even further." Saiba said.

"Hoo! even you still need to train your skills?" A Sweden Mafia leader said. His face was smiling but his eyes were dead as a fish.

"Yes, the world of gourmet is a vast sea full of storms, and I still need to escape the last storm." Saiba said with his eyes full of dedication "Now. I will leave you to your business, I will take my leave to Japan now." he said.

"Yes, take care! we will call you again when you're needed."

"Well then Gentlemen, I believe we should talk about what we have come here for." One young man stood up and spoke "The Helmet Family is attacking China restlessly for the past two months, Jaguar Family and Germa family has declared war against each other, and last but not least...The young man who almost killed the current head of the Helmet family is running rampaging our business in the middle east and the west."

In the kitchen, Saiba opened the door to a dimly lighted room and looked at the floor where many Noir Chefs like himself were lying down, their feet couldn't help them stand from the heavy loss they have just experienced on Saiba's hand.

"I believe that we have established who is the strongest between us the Noir Chefs," he said with a smirk under his bandana.

"How can this be?!" One giant-like man said.

"All of us against one guy couldn't bring him down?!!" a girl with golden chain necklaces and a hat that is facing behind spoke.

"Damn you, desu!" One tall and blond-haired guy said with his hands trembling "I will not forget this, desu!"

"Desu?! ah! a Chunibyo, I see..." Saiba chuckled "Tell me, you lot...Have you ever heard of...Shokugeki."

After two days...

Japan

Totsuki...

School has already started, Totsuki welcomed new blood in the first years, Erina did the director's speech in her grandfather's place as the new director which came easy to her.

Alexander and his friends were already 2nd years and considered one of the most powerful students in Totsuki.

As for Alexander, rumors around him were the scariest as they new first years got the news about his victory over 6 of the previous elite 10 and him being the strongest man in school. [The Black King] is already a nickname that has become widespread and known among other major schools.

When the news about his victory reached certain two boys, they couldn't help but smirk and feel excited about their next meeting.

Alexander was walking down the halls of the classroom section looking for his classroom. His eyes were tired and red from staying up late. He found his classroom and entered, but he didn't greet anyone or speak a word not even paying attention to his classmates and teacher. He walked straight to the nearest empty seat and put his head on the table to sleep.

The teacher was shocked. She looked at Alexander with angry eyes and a menacing aura. If Alexander has paid attention to his teacher, he wouldn't have dared to do such a thing.

After all, the teacher is a tall and beautiful black-haired woman with blood eyes, he hair was as smooth as silk, a dark and suppressing aura can be felt by anyone near her "This Kid..." Alexander walked to her son and stood tall in front of him.

Of course, this beautiful lady was non-other than Alexander's mother and the strongest chef currently in the frontlines of the gourmet world. She raised her hand up in the sky "WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!" She shouted.

*SMACK!!!*
