Prologue

Running desperately through the still sleepy streets of Tokyo, Naomi begged her legs to keep going, her breathing gasping and her heartbeat quickening with each step she took. She looked back every moment, trying to see if the strange group of men were nearby. She ran in the hope that they might escape if she turned down the next street.

But just as the cat cornered the mouse, Naomi found herself surrounded, when suddenly a black Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of her just as she reached the avenue. Two men in black suits got out of the car and immediately grabbed her and put her wrists back and bound her with handcuffs, and violently threw her into the car without giving her any explanation.

A short time later, the other three men who had chased her from the apartment joined the rest of the group and got into another car that appeared, and from, there they drove off to an uncertain destination.
