Chapter 540: Infiltration (2)

“I heard voices in the stairwell, headin’ down. I’mma sneak down there.” He said over the radio. Not waiting for a response, he pulled out his two brass knuckles and placed them on.

Tetsu admired them for a moment and was about to open the door.

“Wait for me.” A voice appeared, shocking him.

He turned around, only to see Shin walking towards him, his Katana drawn.

“Don’t sneak up on me ya bastard.” Tetsu responded, trying to calm his pounding heart.

Shin shrugged, it looked as if he wanted to reply, but chose not to since they were currently in the midst of infiltration.

“Alright, let’s go.” Tetsu whispered, slowly opening the door and heading into the stairwell. The stairs were spacious enough for 5 people to stand shoulder to shoulder comfortably.

Tetsu began to slowly walk down the stairs, sacrificing speed for stealth.

But his jaw dropped as he saw Shin practically float down the stairs casually, his footfalls not making the slightest noise.

‘Freakin’ ninja…’ He muttered inwardly.

They came to the first set of doors after descending and listened closely, yet there was no noise on the other side. Shin opened the door and slid in, his silhoutte quickly disappearing in the darkness.

The two needed to check every floor, otherwise they could risk missing the two boys in their search.

Without words, the two cooperated efficiently. Well, it was mostly Shin doing the scouting while Tetsu remained lookout, but they were playing to their own strengths.

Around 30 minutes later, they had already searched through 4 floors without seeing a single soul. Yet the two did not give up.

Soon enough, they found some activity.

Shin placed his ear up against the door and could hear the sound of some people talking.

“What is the boss thinking? I get catching that pretty boy, but isn’t that tall kid a famous baseball player?”

Shin’s ears perked up and he waved Tetsu closer, as if telling him to come listen. He obliged.

“Apparently one of our business partners wanted him captured for some reason. Just look the other way man, I’m sure he has his reasons.” Another voice answered before letting out a yawn.

Before Shin could make any plan, Tetsu threw the doors open, almost causing him to fall flat on the floor.

In a flash, one of the gangsters was king hit in the temple, his body collapsing on the ground in the next moment. As if in shock, the other guy froze, his brain struggling to keep up with the sudden events.

SHIIING

Suddenly, a Katana blade sat against his throat, the blade shining from the dim light within the room.

Shin pushed the guy up to the wall and whispered in a low tone.

“Where are they?” His voice sounded like a demon, one who was ready to deliver him into the underworld.

“B—Bottom floor warehouse…” The guy said, his features frozen in horror.

“Mmm.”

In the next moment, he was on the floor, gasping for air.

Completely unfazed by the brutality he’d just caused, he walked over to the other guy and was about to finish him off. However, when he got closer, he saw that there was no need.

He flourished his Katana and wiped the blood off with the man’s suit before sheathing it. His eyes lingered on Tetsu for a few moments before wordlessly walking back to the stairwell.

“Let’s go.”

Tetsu looked at the blood on his brass knuckles for a brief moment before following behind the guy.

They now knew where Ken and Katsuya were being held, it was just a matter of what kind of security would be awaiting them when they arrived.

“You’re more resolute than I expected.” Shin said, hints of praise hidden within his tone.

Tetsu scoffed quietly, “You think I’d show mercy on these bastards?”

“Mmm.”

The two remained silent, making their way down the stairs. When they got to the second last floor, they stopped at the door once more. Yet this time there were a lot more voices behind this door.

“Tokyo is gonna be ours!”

“CHEERS!”

It sounded like a celebration, with at least 40-50 people joining in.

Both Shin and Tetsu looked at each other briefly, no words needing to be exchanged. There was a sense of urgency in their faces, since they had already drawn first blood.

If any of these guys were to go find their comrades missing, things would not go well.

Tetsu gestured his head towards the bottom floor, only to receive a nod in response. The mission had now turn into a time sensitive one.

Shin flew down the stairs with haste, quickly taking post outside of the door. He waited for Tetsu to arrive and placed his ear against the door.

After a couple moments of silence, he opened the door.

The first thing that assaulted their noses was the smell of iron and blood. Both their faces fell.

Despite this, the two kept their calm and slowly scouted the area. The lights were off, save for a single spotlight shone in the corner of the warehouse.

Which means they didn’t need to go far before seeing the two teens chained up to their chairs.

Just as Tetsu and Shin were about to run forward, the sound of the door opening entered their ears.

‘Damn it!’

The two quickly split up, hiding on each side of the warehouse. Thanks to the sparse amount of boxes, there weren’t many places to hide.

The sound of footfalls echoes in the warehouse as two figures made their way towards the teens.

“Oi, wake up you bastards.” One of the guys said, his voice sounding sinister.

At these words, the two teens seemed to rouse from their light sleep.

“It’s time for your hourly beating. Hehehe.”

“Finally it’s our turn. I had to give Bozu a pack of smokes to switch places.” The other crooned, massaging his knuckles.

In the corner of the warehouse, Tetsu’s eyes shined as a murderous intent began to rise within him.

‘Let’s see you bastard’s try.’
