Chapter 32: Second Breakthrough
Continuing right from the last chapter...
Kamoyo: We need to investigate them & ask them what do they want from us
Zuoni: How are we going to ask them those questions?
Kamoyo: Vakoro already revealed to them that he's part of our team. Even we didn't know that & that's because he plans to play with both sides
Jinjine: If he wants to play with both sides, how are we suppose to trust him?
Kamoyo: Because he hasn't decided which side he would full-on support yet. Vakoro is the vital part of this mission
Matohi: But he can jeopardize our whole plan!
Kamoyo: Or executes it perfectly as we want it to
Zuoni: Don't bother, we can't really rely on just him. That's not how plan works. If we're relying on just one person, it's not a good plan
Kamoyo: & that brings us to The alternative directions for our plan
Jinjine: We can keep making fake bodies to fool them & when they get out of their hideout, we'll take the chance to free Zukkei & Hira. After all, the one who made the fake bodies are still here.
We only need A Sound Consumer to make bodies & we do have one...
Tori: But i struggle making those, they consume a lot of Aura & my imitation of them are far from being perfect. I don't think they could be fooled for long enough by them-
Kamoyo: We still have other plans to spare
Meanwhile...
Vakoro sent a message "This is our location, disturb us when we're around & you're dead
[Location Link]"
Zukkei: What do you guys really want from us?! Answer me!! Answer me!...
Zukkei then tried to untie the chains around his wrist as Tenni then climb up the stairs to go to The room where they gather
Zukkei: Oi! Tenni! Where are you goin-
Hira: Shhhh!
Zukkei: AGH!! You scared me!
Zukkei screams while whispering
Hira: Keep a low profile for now, we're not sure what kind of perception they have on us for now other than that We work for 4A
Zukkei: Oh-
Hira: Shhh! They could hear us
Zukkei: Oh, sorry
Hira: The thing is that Tenni can't say anything to us, we don't know if she just hates us or she's forced by them to not say anything. By her expression, i would assume that she feels sympathy for us...But then again, she could do that just to fool us. We need to keep our eyes on them
Zukkei: Didn't you say they can hear our conversation? Shouldn't we not talk about this right now?...
Hira: Yes but it's not like what i just said will affect or change their motivation of any kind
Zukkei: Oh...Understood
Tenni sneak behind a wall to hear their conversation
Ekuto: Oi Tenni, what are you doing?
Tenni: Nothing, just tying my shoes
Hira heard about what's happening outside
Hira: She heard us
Zukkei just stays quiet so that the other members wouldn't hear anything
Meanwhile...
Vakoro: Boss, they're willing to pay us to free these kids...No matter how big the price is
Kiuji: Hmm....$100,000
Moshirin: Don't we want a highe-
Choza: According to plan. We're not discussing this again
Moshirin: *sighs* Sure...
Vakoro: Right, i sent the message
Tenni: Do we have any other intel?
Takahashi: No, but we can keep track with they are at all times. Where have you been?
Tenni: Taking care of those kids, what else do you think i was doing?
Ekuto just looks at Tenni suspiciously...
Tenni: Why are you looking at me like that?
Ekuto then points his Palm-gun towards Tenni
Ekuto: Oi Tenni, can you promise us...That whenever we ask you to threaten those kids or even kill them...You'll do it without thinking twice
Tenni: ...
Ekuto: Oi-
Kiuji: Don't start a fight, Ekuto
Kiuji squish Ekuto's hand with Gravity to tease him
Ekuto: Alright, let me go!
Kiuji then freed Ekuto from his Gravitational Force
Kiuji: We shouldn't try to make problems around here since we all have the same issues...But we can always change it at anytime. Just like everyone else, we should let Tenni decides whatever she wants to do...
Meanwhile...
Kamoyo: We'll ask for backups & then-
Waruwi then stretch his arm in front of Kamoyo
Waruwi: We can handle this ourselves!
Matohi: Come on! You're not helping us! Don't be selfish at a time like this!
Waruwi: No Idiot! Think about it, if we ask them to handle this. That doesn't only mean they'll lose trust in us...That could also led to Their remaining members to Threaten our life!
Tori: Well, hypothetically. We should just ask the 4A to come & protect us
Zuoni: No, they are the best of thieves & they're more powerful than we think. They're dangerous & they could make a shocking move at anytime, they could just fool us by making A Hostage deal when in reality, they will end up killing all of us
Tori: Hmmm, you're right
Kamoyo: I have an idea. We just get the money & while we're about to go see them, some of us will have to sneak through & investigate what's happening around Their Hideout
Tori: & Considering that at the hotel, we only made a fake body for Iyanari, Jinjine, Zuoni, Waruwi & myself. They wouldn't know the exact amount of members that we have
Matohi: But they could've saw us while we're inside the van
Zuoni: Well, we just say that some of our members went home after being traumatized
Waruwi: What if they don't believe us?!...
...
Zuoni: ...We have no choice but to fight them
Jinjine: We'll meet them tomorrow at 8:00 p.m
Tori: Yes, we can only sneak through their Hideout at night. We can ask Vakoro directly & to not let the members lose their trust in him. We'll call him & ask him to raise the Speaker Volume so that we can directly negotiate with the whole team
Kamoyo: We'll ask & command them as follows...
• How's our friends doing
• How many members are we going to meet while giving the $100,000 to them
• As soon as we give away the money, call the one who's guarding our friends & ask him or her to let them go
Matohi: Me & Kamoyo will investigate their hideout while you guys are about to meet them
They then discusses a bit more...
Jinjine: Should we make the call now?
Zuoni: I think now is the perfect time
Vakoro: Oi! They're calling me, they want us to hear what they've to say
Kiuji: ...Hmm, sure
Moshirin: Are we...supposed to gather?
Vakoro: Yes
Moshirin: Hmm. Taka, Tenni, Ekuto! Come out
They then gather at the room
Ekuto: Yeah, what do you want weirdo-
Vakoro: Silence
Ekuto: Huh? Since when-
Kiuji: Silence, Ekuto...
Ekuto: *sighs*
Vakoro then answer their call & they then negotiate thorough the call
Zuoni: Get your boss closer to the-
Kiuji: I'm here
Kiuji got besides Vakoro in a flash & everyone was shocked
Jinjine: First, how's the Hostages doing?
Tenni just hears the conversation but she can't say anything so that she won't accidentally reveal her position in the group. Moshirin also needs to stay quiet so that they won't know about his presence
Takahashi: They're doing fine
Zuoni: Make sure, they're not injured while we're still in this deal
Takahashi: Got it...
Zuoni: We would like to ask. How many members are we going to meet while making the deal face-to-face?
Kiuji: We can promise you that we will come to you with just 3 members. The other 3 will stay at our hideout...
...
Zuoni: Then where will Tenni be?
Ekuto: What?!
Tenni In Her Head: They knew?! How?!
Zukkei & Hira heard their conversation
Kiuji then looks at Tenni for a moment
Kiuji: *laughs quietly* She'll stay too along with the hostages...Seems you've figured out all the Members from our gang
Tori: As soon as we give away the money, call the one who's guarding our friends & ask him or her to let them go
Kiuji: Sure...Is that all?...
Zuoni: Yes...
Kiuji: Well. Like you said, 8:00 p.m... Don't be late
Zuoni then hangs up the call...
Tori: Well, I'm getting hungry. See you tomorrow *laughs awkwardly*
Zuoni: Yeah, see you tomorrow
As Tori went to get his Dinner...
Jinjine: Hey, we still have a few things unsettled
They then discuss a little more...
A day later...
As they're driving while Matohi & Kamoyo sneak by walking to their Hideout
Choza: Should we go now?
Kiuji: ...Yes
Tenni is the only one with Zukkei & Hira
As Kiuji, Choza & Vakoro then drive to them...
Vakoro: Are you sure we don't need anyone to assassinate them?
Kiuji: We already have one, you don't need to worry. He'll wait on the rooftop to snipe them
Vakoro In His Head: What?!
Vakoro: Who's this other guy you're talking about?
Kiuji: He's an old friend of mine. We can trust him *laughs quietly*
With Kiuji leaving an unknown clue for the secret Hitman...Zuoni, Waruwi, Tori & Jinjine. Can all of them make it out alive from this deal?...
To be continued...
