In a white chateau in front of the central park. A tall man with a black trench coat walk in the huge yard of it. His long black hair flow with the wind and he see a man in a black suit begun to turn the corner of the house. The man in a coat speed up and reach the man in the suit. A glean of silver and the low sound of blood being spilled in high speed is heard. The blood gushes and hit the wall of the house. The man dodge the flying jets of blood and on his right hand have a katana dripping blood. He see that the man is dead. And move in to the house. In his way he kill all the men's that he found. All die in silence not even having a chance to draw they guns. In a large office room a man of average height and with black hair combed to behind is writing in a book. On his right have a hand gun and on his left a wine bottle and a crystal wine cup. And the man think:

And the door of the office is cutted in two. And is kicked hard. The man in the coat walk in. The man try reach for his gun. A silver trail leave the man with the coat and the gun is nailed in the desk by a knife. And the man can't take it off. And the man in a coat say:
You are Vincent Gianini. New head of the Gianini family?
And the man say:
That is right! And who are you?
And the man say:
I don't say my name to people who are going to die.
And Vincent look at the assassin. He wears white social shirt with no tie, a dark blue vest, dark blue pants, a black trench coat and social shoes. In his gloved hands have a long curved sword. Covering the lower have of his face a dark blue mask. His brown eyes cold as ice don't show any emotion. His long hair complete the frame of the mysterious assassin. And Vincent say:
Who send you?!
And the man say:
I usually don't name my hirer but he asked to tell. His Marco Gianini your older brother. He said that this time it would be no mistakes. And that you should have been smart and stayed out of the business.
And the man walk closer to the desk and Vincent think:
He is not American. Or Italian. His features are oriental. Chinese? Wait! That killer! The Seiryu! The one that who was never seem and always fulfill his jobs!
And Vincent say:
Wait! I can pay you! What he is paying I double no triplicate! An assassin of your caliber is sure expensive. I can pay much more for your services. I pay you ten times more than my brother. You just have to kill him.
And the man say:
Go on.
And Vincent say:
How much he is paying you?
And Benji say:
He will have to pay me 500. I got half of it.
And Vincent think:
Damn! That is a huge amount of money.
And he say:
Fine. I pay you 5.000 dollars right now. I have in cash now. And you will kill Marco.
And Benji say:
Pay up. Put in a bag and don't try anything. Your goons didn't have even time to draw they guns so don't think that you have a chance.
And Vincent walk to the safe followed by the man. He put large packs of notes in a bag and say:
5.000 dollars in cash. Now go kill my brother.
And he say
I will. Any message for him before I kill him?
And Vincent say:
I am smarter than you and I will always be.
And the man say:
Okay. Now I have to finish my previous contract before I do yours.
And Vincent say:
What? But I paid you!
And he say:
I always finish my jobs. And I will finish this and yours too.
And he kill Vincent taking out his head. Blood stains the walls and the man clean his sword, sheath it and walk away. Leaving the chateau he walks around the city. He enter in his favorite bar the Fraunces Tavern. He sit in a stall in facing the balcony.
