The Fearless Leader of the Tenguro Clan.

Three days had already passed, The kidnapping incident was still the talk of the town.

Several students also went missing, And was added among the list of the Kidnapped students.

In total of 17 students disappearing in a span of five days.

....

.....

Somewhere around Shinjuku, An extremely spacious garden with a wide one story house building was seen in the center of it.

Several men dressed in white suits were patrolling around the area.

"Chief, Has there been any news about the kidnapper's location?" A man dressed in a purple yukata said.

"I'm afraid that we still haven't found them yet. All of our troops are being sent all over Shinjuku even beyond the mountain range."

"Fuck, Some of the affiliated clans are blaming us for these incidents. I'll deploy my men and send them to tokyo to gather some informations about the kidnappers."

"Okay Hori-san. We'll also do our part."

*Beep*

Yakamoto Hori, The leader of the Tenguro Clan. A Confederation of Criminal syndicates that are actively ruling over Shinjuku area.

Yakamoto was the father of Chizu Hori, One amongst the kidnapped students.

A man with one blinded eye wearing a white suit came rushing in towards where Yakamoto was sitting.

"Boss, Our men hasn't been able to find the location of the Kidnappers. But some information came in and hinted us that they maybe foreigners from another country. And the place you told us about was completely empty, They seemed to be in another place." As the man said.

"Foreigners huh, Call some of our men and send them to tokyo Ryosuke. Find more information about these kidnappers. And tell them to report immediately once they find some clues." Yakamoto said with a demanding tone.

I guess using the same place would be a dumb idea for kidnapping, Yakamoto thought.

Ryosuke immediately nodded and went straight out to make a phone call.

As another shirtless man covered in tattoos entered the room, "Boss. Didn't these kidnapping incidents happened a long time ago?" He asked.

Yakamoto fixed his yukata and his sitting posture, "Yes, This has happened before. It was several years ago back when I was still the Heir of the Tenguro Clan."

*Knock*

"Yakamoto-sama, Should I prepare the dinner in your room?" A maid's voice was heard.

"Yes." Yakamoto replied.

"Were the kidnappers before foreigners too? Or japanese?" The shirtless man asked.

Yakamoto took a deep breathe, "They were foreigners, And I was among the kidnapped victims." As Yakamoto stared unto the man with seriousness in his eyes.

.....

...

....

It was a long time ago, When I was still a young lad that still couldn't understand how the world really works.

Back at that time, I was chosen as the heir of the Tenguro Clan, One of the infamous yakuza clans that ruled over the entirety of Japan.

I was still ruthless, fearless and determined at that time, I felt invincible that made me thoughtlessly think that no one in Japan could touch me.

I built up my reputation on the underworld and gained fame, Known as the future leader of the Tenguro Clan. I fought and earned several Yakuza clan's respects, Up until that day came.

The day when people started went missing, The targeted victims were 15 to 23 years old, Back then I was still 19 at that time.

My father, Hamamori Hori. The Leader of the Tenguro Clan, Warned me about these sudden incidents.

But due to my arrogant personality, I ignored his warnings and still kept doing my nightly activities.

And one night, I came outside of a bar which we own in Shinjuku and grabbed a cigar from my pocket to smoke.

Then I saw a strange black minivan parked infront of the bar, It was already nearing 1:00am.

What's that minivan doing? I wondered.

A minivan which we didn't own nor knew, Parking infront of our bar this late was strange, So I went towards it due to my curiosity.

But when I got closer, The black minivan instantly opened it's door and three men wearing masks came pouncing towards me.

I immediately fought against the three men but was soon caught due to their overwhelming strength. I couldn't escape them due to their tight grips and was brought inside the minivan.

As I continued resisting, One of the masked man pulled out a gun and pointed at my forehead.

"Will you shut up?"

I gulped after hearing the man's voice, He was also speaking english. That's when I realized that these kidnappers were foreigners.

Then they snuck a handkerchief at my face, And it Made me unable to breathe. After several minutes of resisting, I finally fell unconscious.

By the time I woke up, I was being carried to an unknown area, Which it had dimmed lights and was totally enveloped with individuals wearing masks.

My hands were tied as well as my feet, But that didn't stop me from resisting and trying to escape.

Then the man placed me inside of a cage filled with other kidnapped victims.

"Is this the last?" (In english language)

"Yes, We'll soon depart and transfer them to the harbor." (In english language)

I couldn't really understand them since I wasn't fluent in english, But I knew what transfer and harbor meant.

Time passed and we were still locked inside a cage, The other victims were trembling in fear, Scared that they'll be taken to a faraway land.

"I want to go see my mom and dad." A woman said and cried silently.

Their trembling voice and shaken appearances was enough for me to understand that they're completely scared.

But not for me, As they cried and prayed, I was thinking of different plans on how to escape this place.

And after several hours passed, Gunshots started echoing throughout the place.

*Bang!* *Bang!* The victims jolted and screamed in fear while the gunshots didn't ceased.

Then After some time, A masked individual came running towards our cage and pointed a gun at us while screaming, "Take one more step and I'll blow their heads!"

The masked man was shaking silently while footsteps were slowly heard coming towards us, "I told you to step back--" *Bang!* As the masked man fell unto the ground and blood followed, Streaming through the floor.

The victims screamed as they've witnessed a murder case infront of them.

Then a man covered in black attire, Wearing a skull mask, Which was also the same height as me came walking towards us and opened the cage.

.....

....

"So that masked individual freed you boss?" The shirtless man asked.

"Yes." Yakamoto replied.

"At that time, When you were kidnapped... What did you feel boss?"

Yakamoto grinned, "You already know that I don't fear any man."

"Well ofcourse boss, We all know what your capable of."

"But at that time, I wasn't scared of the kidnappers, I never felt fear towards any men I've encountered." As Yakamoto leaned forward and nonchalantly spoke, "But that thing... That thing with a skull mask truly scares me." He said with a serious expression.

At that time, After the man with a skull mask disappeared and opened our cage, I witnessed something no man can do on their own.

Several hundred corpses wearing masks were lying on the ground lifeless.

"That thing is what truly scares me the most." Yakamoto said as he felt goosebumps all around his body.

"Just thinking about him made me feel goosebumps."

"You mean the man who freed you?" The shirtless man asked.

"Yes Kyosuke, That thing is the definition of a devil."

Soon after that incident, I realized that the man who saved us was the rumored Devil of the east.

*Beep*

"I'm sorry boss, Let me take this." Kyosuke said.

"It's fine, Go ahead."

Kyosuke then left the room and took the phone call, While a beautiful maid entered the room and prepared Yakamoto's dinner on a table.

After the preparations, The maid bowed and left the room quietly.

*Bam* As the door got opened.

"Boss!" Kyosuke said in a worried tone.

"What is it? Why are you out of breathe?" Yakamoto asked.

"A man is looking for you. He said he's an acquaintance of the former leader of the Tenguro Clan, Hamamori Hori-sama." Kyosuke said as he gasped.

An acquaintance? That's strange.

"Let him in." Yakamoto said.

Then Kyosuke immediately ran and went straight to the entrance to bring the unknown individual.

.....

....

After that kidnapping incident got settled, Me an my Father had a conversation about that occurrence.

"Listen Yakamoto, The man who saved you. I owe him alot."

"Do you know him father?" Yakamoto asked.

"Yes, He's an acquaintance of mine." As Hamamori replied with a gentle smile on his face.

An Acquaintance? Father never usually uses that term, He mostly uses friends rather than an acquaintance. Yakamoto mumbled through his head.

.....

...

That's when he realized, That the unknown individual he feared, Would be visiting his own house in an unexpected situation.

Meanwhile in the entrance of the Tenguro Clan's household, "Sir. Please follow me." Kyosuke said politely.

And James silently followed the man with a serious expression on his face.

"The Tenguro clan Huh, Feels nostalgic." James uttered silently and continued following kyosuke who was leading him towards Yakamoto's room.
