Warehouse 3

It was about eleven o'clock in the evening when Asami along with his two most trusted guards, Kirishima and Suoh, stopped the limo in front of warehouse number 3. He got out with his graceful elegance and pulled down his tailored black coat. As per command there were men all around the perimeter of the building.

Many of the guards had heard of their leader's punishments but had never witnessed them so they hoped they weren't too gory. The door opened and everyone bowed at the entrance of the golden-eyed yakuza and no one dared cross his gaze. They're all afraid, all right. At least they know who's in charge here. There was no noise in the warehouse except for the rumble of the crime lord's fancy, shiny black shoes that echoed with every step. Without giving anyone a glance, he went straight to a single black leather chair with a small table next to it. Above it was a glass and a bottle of scotch.

Their guest would arrive at any moment so the crime lord calmly took off his trench coat and handed it to Kirishima who carefully folded it and put it on the back of a chair next to him. Then, while his boss was sitting down, he took the alcoholic bottle and poured its content in the glass that already had some ice cubes inside.

Asami couldn't wait to finish it as she had been waiting all day to see her beloved kitten again. Akihito was like a drug to him, he couldn't get enough of him and if he went too long without seeing him he became more frustrating and irritable. As he was wandering with his mind over a certain photographer the door to the warehouse opened.

Amane Suzuki did not even have time to cross the threshold of the door when two men took him by the arms and carried him into the middle of the room. He panicked a little as he had not expected such treatment. Then he was startled when his arms were tied together and his legs as well.

A guard made him raise his joined arms and connected them to a chain that hung from the ceiling. The man found himself standing with his arms tied and hanging overhead. To say he was frightened was an understatement. Raising his head, he met a cold, piercing gaze. The gaze of Asami Ryuichi, the most powerful yakuza in all of Japan. Oh, shit! He swallowed.

Asami after taking one of his cigarettes in his mouth and lighting it, paused for a moment to look at the pathetic man in front of him. - "Hello Amane-san, we finally meet. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time we see each other live."- he said these words calmly and without letting any emotion leak out. He might have sounded kind but everyone in the room knew that when the boss did that he was anything but kind and the man hanging there would learn that very soon. The wretch who didn't realize the anger that actually exuded from that voice, with a short breath and a hint of a smile, decided to answer. - "Yes Asami-sama it's the first time we meet."- after a short pause he continued to speak - "I would like to know what is going on and why your men have chained me."-. At that statement Asami's eyes became a darker tone. Kirishima looked at him and shook his head. It doesn't look good for the man, not at all. -" I, on the other hand, think you know why you're here and why I wanted to meet you in person."-he took a sip of scotch and continued-"But since I can see that you need some refreshment, I'll be glad to help you."-and bowed his head to the two looks.

Suddenly his stomach was hit by a series of punches. Not waiting for them, he tried to bend over but couldn't. He was terrified now and it was clear from his pale, sweaty face. Asami smiled at that sight. He was already cracking up, too bad this is only the beginning. With a show of hands the two guards stopped and moved to the side of the man who was still panting. - "Amane-san you are the accountant of one of my companies and you have been working for me, or rather working for me, for 5 years now. In this regard you know that I have very simple rules that I want my staff to follow to the letter. So I'm going to give you the chance to tell me what you did and why."-the voice was too quiet as he spoke these words. The poor man's gaze looked shocked. - "Asami-sama I don't know what you're talking about."- and just then he received another volley of punches and not only in the stomach but also in the face. - "I repeat: you have one last chance to confess what you have done. Today I am feeling charitable."-and at this statement a threatening flicker crossed his face. - "I really don't know what you're talking about. Please, let me go."- he pleaded, panting and writhing in unaccustomed pain.

Asami smiled and stood up to head towards the man. Another guard took Amane's hair in a fist and pulled his head back so his gaze could confront the yakuza's golden eyes. - "You know, the thing I can't stand most besides those who dare to betray me, are men like you who are liars and thieves. Did you really think I wouldn't notice that in the reports you transcribed, not insignificant amounts of money were missing."-and now his tone had turned into a snarl-"I gave you the chance to admit your mistake but I see that you didn't take the chance. Now you will learn what it means to steal from me."- and with that he returned to his seat. Amane who stood in disbelief at the words he just heard. And as he wandered with his mind to understand how the powerful man had managed to discover his wrongdoing, he did not realize that one of the men around him was now holding an iron club.

Suddenly there was the sound of air being moved through the bat and the din of broken bones. Amane screamed from the excruciating pain that was surely coming from his broken knee. He cried even though he knew it was not manly behavior. As soon as he caught his breath, he looked at the leader. - "Please, Asami-sama, stop. I promise it won't happen again."- he said in a sobbing voice. Asami was getting more and more frustrated with the useless being in front of him. He had another man approach and asked him in his ear to gag the man when he gave the order. The guard bowed and went to position himself next to the ill-fated man. - "Amane-san you have not yet understood that you will not leave here alive. You will experience what it means to betray me, to cheat me and to steal from me. And I promise you that you will beg me to kill you, but you know, you could have thought of that before."- and he took another sip of the liquid in his glass.

The prisoner was about to counter but the guard, after looking at the leader, approached him and covered his mouth. You could only hear the muffled screams and sobs. Seeing that man stripped of his pride and hearing his bones break were truly a great sight for the yakuza. After the man had passed out about 3 times from the pain, Asami decided to put an end to it all. It's time for me to go back to my Akihito.

With that thought he pulled out his gun, walked over to the now badly wounded body and shot straight through the man's head. Looking at Suoh he ordered him to clean it up and throw the body overboard. He put on his trench coat and together with his right arm, Kirishima, headed home. At that thought his gaze softened a little. Kitten, get ready, I'm coming.
