Chapter Text
The night in Tokyo has its hidden dark corners, where beneath the bright lights and neon signs, a world of crime lurks. In the narrow alleyways of Shinjuku, you can encounter people with mysterious looks, discussing deals in the half-shadow. The mafia, known as the Yakuza, actively conducts its business, maintaining a grim atmosphere.
Clubs and bars, which at first glance seem ordinary, become meeting places for criminal elements, where dangerous deals are struck to the sound of music. The streets are filled with whispers of debt repayments and fights, which sometimes end in blood.
Secret underground gambling establishments and fight clubs attract risky people, and the police often turn a blind eye. While ordinary citizens enjoy the nightlife, the dark forces weave their intrigues, controlling the shadow businesses.
The night in Tokyo is not only about bright lights and noisy streets, but also a world where fear and respect go hand in hand, and something dangerous could be lurking around every corner.
Behind this beautiful night city, on the highest tower, stood a man who enjoyed the view. He sat at the very edge as if not fearing the possibility of falling, for it didn’t concern him—he had done this before. Next to him, a multifunctional combat drone flew (it provides long-range attack support, analyzes situations, enemies, etc., and helps with movement), working on the boy's future plans while he relaxed.
"– The auction you mentioned will take place tonight."
The drone, flying in different directions, approached the boy, who was lost in his thoughts.
"– How much time is left until it begins?"
The boy, dressed in black knee-length shorts and a thin black sleeveless turtleneck, also wore a cloak that concealed his form-fitting turtleneck. The cloak, resembling a jacket, was black and slightly long. He wore black high boots, light fabric gloves, and a soft dark blue fabric collar around his neck, made unique by a keychain shaped like a puzzle piece. This element not only adorned the accessory but also served an important function: it contained a chip that stored the owner's data. The most peculiar part of his appearance was the blindfold on his eyes, but it wasn't just ordinary—it was a device that collected surrounding information and assisted in battle.
"– 2 hours, 45 minutes, and 39 seconds."
"– What exactly will be on sale?"
The boy stood up from his spot and then turned to look at his drone.
"– 1) The painting 'Blue Night': This mysterious work by an unknown artist, in an expressionist style, conveys tension and melancholy. Dark shades of blue and black create an atmosphere of mystery, attracting the attention of collectors with refined taste.
2) Colt .45 Pistol: This vintage pistol with intricate engravings once belonged to a famous gangster of the 1920s. Its flawless condition and high accuracy make it not only a collectible but also a functional piece.
3) Abandoned villa in Sicily: A unique architectural monument with a stunning sea view, surrounded by myths about its past inhabitants. Inside, magnificent frescoes and marble floors remain, with overgrown gardens rumored to have been the site of mysterious meetings.
4) Diamond Necklace 'Night Light': This necklace, studded with large diamonds, sparkles like stars in the night sky. Created for a socialite, it symbolizes luxury and power, which may attract attention not only for its brilliance but also for the history of its owner.
5) 1967 Ford Mustang: This classic muscle car, painted in bright red, was modified for illegal races. Its powerful engine and unique sound attract attention, and its tuned details make it a true work of art on wheels.
6) Compromising photographs: These black-and-white photos taken in the 1950s captured a meeting between high-ranking officials and criminal authorities. The documents attached to them reveal secret agreements and could serve as the basis for blackmail.
7) Rolex Daytona Watch: This rare model with a unique dial, once belonging to a famous race car driver, combines precision and style. The gold case and stainless-steel bracelet make it a coveted trophy for collectors.
8) Mobile phone with anti-surveillance protection: This unassuming gadget looks like an ordinary smartphone, but it contains unique technologies to ensure anonymity and protect against surveillance. The perfect tool for those leading a secretive life.
9) Indulgence from the Vatican: This ancient document promises forgiveness of sins and protection from persecution. With its unique seal and gilding, it has become a symbol of inaccessible power and influence, making it highly desirable for collectors of occult artifacts."
"There are also about 80 similar items."
An electronic screen appeared in front of the boy, displaying information.
"– Is that all? I expected more, what a shame."
"– Perhaps you'll be interested in an exclusive item. The red diamond—one of the rarest shades of diamond found in nature. When it was mined, it emitted a crimson color and illuminated part of the cave where it was found."
"– Do you think that's 'the one'?"
"– If you believe it's related to those stones from the laboratory, then most likely yes."
"– Is there more information about this diamond?"
"– Only about how it was found and when it will be displayed at the auction."
"– Alright, I take my words back. Looks like this night won't be as boring as expected. Listen to my order—hack the security system and write in that I am also a product, place me with the exclusive items. Then find one of the mafiosos and make sure he sells me at the auction. Oh, and also get some white hair dye."
"– Isagi Yoichi, this has been repeated three times in a row. You should be aware of the security measures and—"
The drone didn’t finish speaking before receiving a direct response.
"– Shut up, that was a direct order. Do as I say. If it's being repeated, it means the method works."
Isagi moved closer to the edge of the building, where a magnificent view of the city opened up.
"– The city sleeps, but the mafia wakes up…"
The theater, as an elegant venue for events, has a unique atmosphere that makes it perfect for exclusive auctions. Imagine a majestic building with a high façade, adorned with columns and intricate details. Inside, a spacious foyer with luxurious decor, sparkling chandeliers, and soft lighting creates a cozy atmosphere. The large hall is equipped with soft, comfortable chairs arranged in a circle, ensuring a good view of the stage. The theater can be used for mafia auctions in several formats, each offering a unique atmosphere and level of privacy.
The theater hall could be the ideal place for such events. The elegant space, with cozy chairs and classic decor, creates an atmosphere of exclusivity. Access to the hall is restricted, and entry is by invitation only, which allows the participants to feel safe. Operators with hidden cameras can monitor the situation, ensuring protection from unwanted attention.
At one of these events, a meeting of the six most influential mafia families was held, each representing skill and professionalism. No one expected that such organizations as "Barca," "Bastard Munich," "Blue Lock," "PSG," "Ubers," "Manshine-City," and "La Royale" would show up at an ordinary auction. Each family arrived one after another, meeting old friends.
In the waiting room, leather sofas were arranged, and servants dressed rather provocatively attended to the guests. It was there that the City guys sat on a sofa, talking about their work.
– "Nagi, stay still! How many times have I tried to fix your tie?" – Reo stood beside him while his partner struggled to stay on his feet.
– "Just forget it. It’s not going to work anyway. If Nagi stands still any longer, he’s going to collapse," – their friend sitting on the sofa said, sipping a glass of light red wine, which was handed to him by a girl attending to them.
– "Yeah, and then I’ll have to listen to Chris complaining, yelling at me that I’m not keeping an eye on him and that we’re embarrassing him." – Reo kept trying to fix the tie, his patience starting to wear thin. – "Damn it, Nagi, I swear I’ll strangle you with this tie sooner or later!"
– "Don’t mind him. He’s not behaving as decently as he should," – a voice came from behind them. It was Noah, approaching them to greet, with his subordinates following.
– "Speaking of Chris, where is he?"
– "He’s over there, talking to other mafiosos." – Chigiri, setting his glass down, looked at him.
– "Thanks," – Noah turned and looked at his subordinates. – "Enjoy yourselves until the auction starts. We’ll meet at our seats later." – Noah then walked towards Chris, who was talking to other people.
– "What’s with you guys standing like robots? Sit down, we trained together after all." – Chigiri moved so the others could sit.
– "I think I’ll go. Someone’s waiting for me," – Kiera, not particularly happy to see Nagi, immediately left, not wanting to stay. Unlike him, Kuro, Hiori, and Yukimiya graciously accepted the invitation and sat down next to them.
– "By the way, do you guys know why we were suddenly invited to this auction?" – Yukimiya immediately started the conversation while Hiori went to help Reo.
– "You mean our mentors? I don’t know either. After the mission, they shoved us into the shower and then gave us suits. It doesn’t seem like them." – Reo finally gave up on trying to tie Nagi’s tie and left the matter to Hiori.
– "Maybe it’s another mission?" – Kurona also joined the conversation.
– "Even if that’s the case, why bring us all here? Even Royale’s here." – Chigiri continued sipping his wine while the others talked eagerly.
While the guys from Germany and England were talking, they didn’t notice the arrival of the others. Specifically, the teams from France, Italy, and Spain. Bachira immediately ran to the others, while Otoya went to get acquainted with the servants. At the same time, Shido and Rin were arguing again, while Karasu and Nanase tried to stop them, and Charles laughed at the scene until Loki gave him a slap on the back of the head. The Ubers team arrived last; Snuffy immediately stopped the guys and went to talk to the other mentors, while Baro tried to stay calm but failed as Lorenzo kept bothering him, causing him to shout. Aiko, Sendo, and Nico stepped away from them while Aryu watched the commotion. A few minutes later, the guys from Royale arrived, including Sae, Luna, and Kaiser. And the last to arrive were Anri and Ego. As soon as they entered, their students from various families immediately surrounded them.
– "I’m glad to see you too, my unlimited diamonds. I really hope these old geezers don’t get you killed on your next missions," – Ego, as usual, was in his element, with Anri standing beside him, greeting the others.
– "Seems like you missed the mark here. Last week, Chris gave us a mission where we nearly died," – Nagi, as usual, said exactly what he thought without thinking, knowing Chris would get an earful from Ego since he nearly killed them.
– "Actually, I joined you later and helped!" – Chris shouted from the other side of the hall as he made his way over, with other mentors also approaching Ego to greet him.
– "Joined when everything was over. Thanks for the help!" – Chigiri said sarcastically, recalling it.
– "If you want to buy something at the auction, go ahead. Chris will pay for it, since he can’t even keep an eye on you guys," – Ego addressed the Manshine-City guys. Their eyes lit up, while Chris quietly cried, knowing they would empty his pockets.
– "Ego-san, can we know why we were all suddenly gathered here?" – Hiori finally decided to ask the most important question that had been on everyone’s mind.
– "I just decided that you’ve suffered enough, and I wanted to give you a break so you could meet up," – it was unusual for everyone to hear such words from Ego, who usually didn’t care about their camaraderie. – "Just enjoy the auction."
After these words, Ego went to the sofas, followed by the other mentors, who began discussing various work-related topics.
There were about three minutes left before the auction began, and everyone started approaching the entrance to the hall when they heard a loud knock. The entrance doors opened, and loaders and bodyguards entered, carrying a cube-shaped box. It had a strict and modern design, with transparent glass walls that allowed them to see the contents, creating a sense of lightness and openness. However, it was covered with a dark cloth, obscuring the contents. But everyone in the waiting room was sure that a person could fit inside. The box was quickly brought into the hall and backstage, where the other items were kept. Everyone was immediately intrigued, eagerly waiting for the start.
And then, the clock struck midnight, and at that moment, they began letting everyone into the hall. The best seats were reserved for the directors and participants from "Blue Lock" and others. After ten minutes of waiting, the auction officially began. The lights slowly dimmed in the entire hall, and the host came out to begin the speech.
– "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! We are pleased to welcome you to our auction. Today, we have a unique collection of items, each with its own history and value. We will begin with the first lot. Remember, each bid is a step toward acquiring an exclusive object. We wish good luck to all participants, and may the best win! Now, let’s begin!"
---
(Interesting fact about the auction: The first recorded auction took place in Ancient Babylon about 5000 years ago, conducted to sell women as wives. Since then, auctions have evolved to include a wide range of items, from art to antiques, reflecting changes in society and culture.)
---
The auction continued for over an hour until they reached the exclusive lot.
– "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you this unique red diamond weighing 10 grams, cut in a magnificent diamond shape. This stone not only possesses flawless beauty but also incredible power. Legends say it can create any energy and is endowed with psychokinetic and telekinetic abilities. Furthermore, the owner of this stone gains the ability of teleportation, making it not just a gem, but a true artifact of power. Today, you have a rare opportunity to own this mysterious stone. Let’s start the bidding at 500,000 dollars."
An assistant in a strict suit enters the stage, holding a pillow with the diamond resting on it.
No one expected such a unique item to appear at the end of the auction. Those who had already purchased items before would not be able to acquire such a magnificent stone.
– "So that's the reason you called us all here." – Noah, sitting next to Ego, said.
– "That's just the first reason. After this auction, I want to introduce our unlimited diamonds to someone. So just shut up and don't interrupt me."
The assistant began lifting the fabric that hid the diamond from the guests. As soon as he lifted it, he realized the diamond was missing. Instead of the red stone, there was a regular diamond. Both the host and assistant were in complete confusion, as were the guests.
– "Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the unexpected confusion. We have conducted a check and discovered that this stone is not the rare red diamond we intended to auction. Instead, it is an ordinary diamond.
We value your trust and will handle this situation with full seriousness. The bidding for this lot is suspended, and we will proceed with another item. Thank you for your understanding and patience."
The whispers in the hall grew as people spoke of the administration's irresponsibility.
– "Do you think this was his doing?" – Luna decided to look at the people sitting next to him.
– "Most likely, yes. But I think anyone from these companies could have stolen the stone. As for the security of their items, I'm speechless. How haven't they been robbed yet?" – Sae continued sitting with a blank expression, though deep inside he wanted to criticize the administration for their lack of protection for valuable items.
– "As always, you're the same. But the main question is, did he do this now, or before the auction began?" – Despite the situation, Kaiser found it amusing.
– "Ladies and gentlemen, today we have the last unusual and intriguing lot. Allow me to introduce to you a person who has long remained in the shadows, a master of his craft – a hired assassin who has skillfully concealed his true identity.
This person is not only a professional in his field but also a strategist, keeping entire mafia organizations in fear, making them act according to his rules. His name has become a legend in the criminal world, and he is difficult to catch – always one step ahead.
Today, you have a unique opportunity not only to learn his story but to become part of this thrilling game, where the stakes are high, and the consequences unpredictable. We start at 500,000 dollars. Who is ready to place the first bid?"
The very box they had seen before entering the hall was rolled out onto the stage. The assistant held the end of the fabric and pulled it off. But even with a specific person in place, there were two guards locked inside, meant to keep an eye on him. Unfortunately, they were already dead, their necks twisted. Women screamed at the sight, while the others didn't understand what was happening.
Then, the following happened: the host suddenly fell to his knees and started clutching at his throat until he spit out a device that immediately activated. The device resembled a spider and began climbing onto the host, who was trying to regain his breath. It started to burrow into his skin, heading toward his brain system. The assistant tried to help but was pushed away by the "host." He suddenly stood up, pulled out a gun, and shot the assistant. Then he pulled a round device from his pocket and placed it on the box's lid. The "host" then began shooting people from behind the scenes, and after that, shot at the electronic lock, preventing people from escaping, as it was the only entrance and exit. Later, he aimed his gun at the lights shining on the stage, destroying every single one, plunging the hall into total darkness. He fired the final shot at his own head, killing himself.
Guests began to panic until they heard a loud and clear voice.
– "Everyone stay calm and wait for the security outside the doors! I’m sure they’re preparing to get us out of here, so I ask all guests to remain in your seats!" – It was Loki, who had recently become the director of the "PSJ" organization.
Suddenly, a hologram of the very person who was supposed to be the final lot appeared on the stage. It came from the very device the host had placed before killing himself. Someone in the hall instinctively pulled out a gun and shot at the hologram, but nothing happened to it, only a laugh was heard.
[ (Isagi Yoichi) alias 6S (those who’ve seen Nio Otomota will understand me)
Profession: Hired assassin
Description: (Isagi Yoichi) 6S – a hired assassin who had long evaded capture. His skills in stealth and strategy make him one of the most dangerous players in the criminal world. He skillfully masks his true identity, allowing him to act with impunity.
Methods: Isagi uses well-thought-out approaches, keeping small mafia groups in fear, making them conform to his rules. His name has become a symbol of fear and respect among criminal authorities.
History: For months, he remained free, avoiding traps and ambushes set by others. His abilities have attracted the attention of both law enforcement and criminal syndicates.
(For readers; before Isagi appears in the criminal world or at various events, he dyes his hair white each time to avoid being recognized, which helps, along with a blindfold that hides his true eye color. In everyday life, he walks with his natural hair color and removes the blindfold.)]
[Unfortunately, this is all the information we have about him] [Please wait for an update on the information]
– "It seems I’ve ruined a very important event, so I ask you to forgive me," – 6S said sarcastically. His hologram was the only source of light, which caused everyone to listen attentively. – "As for the missing stone, it’s with me. For those who are struggling to understand, let me explain how I managed to get here. During the preparations, I slipped a small device into the food of the host. This device can penetrate the brain’s system and temporarily take control of the body. It was pre-programmed with tasks it was supposed to execute, so I wasn’t controlling it. When they brought the box into the hall, you probably guessed that I was inside. That’s exactly how it was, but escaping from there wasn’t difficult, and taking the stone wasn’t either. Most likely, the hardest part was stuffing those guards in there. Unfortunately, there’s no more time for chit-chat, so..." – 6S paused, then gave a creepy smile and whispered his final words – "Good luck getting out of here alive and not getting burned to a crisp."
The device shut down the hologram and immediately exploded. Small sparks reached the curtains, causing the fire to ignite rapidly. The guests immediately rushed to the door, trying to deal with the metal door, but their efforts were in vain.
– "Everyone, step away from the door and lie down on the floor if you want to survive! Hiori, deal with the lock on the door, the rest, quickly contain the fire!" – Noah and the other mentors also stood up from their seats and rushed toward the door while their team members tried to find fire extinguishers.
– "This is useless, the bullet hit the core of the lock! No amount of electricity will allow me to pull it out!" – Hiori was already sitting by the door while Anri shined a flashlight on him.
– "The fire extinguishers are only on the backstage side! We can’t get them with the fire on that side!" – Reo started ripping the curtains off and handing them to the team to try to fend off the fire. Hearing only bad news, the guests immediately panicked and rushed toward the doors. One of the men accidentally touched the lock, causing it to jerk and fall to the floor.
– "You won’t do shit with your panic! I told you in plain language to lie on the floor and not get in our way! How long does it take for idiots like you to understand?!" – Ego also sat next to Hiori, helping him with the lock, and began yelling at the guests to calm down. – "What are you standing there like statues for? Do you especially need a reminder?!"
Lavinho, Noah, and Snuffy went to help the team while Chris and Loki treated wounds and calmed other guests.
– "Is there really no other way out of this idiotic theater?!" – Kaiser shouted, pushing guests away. Sae and Luna were also moving around areas where the fire hadn’t reached. Sae found the electrical panel and shut it off. Realizing that was all they could do, he ran toward the fire to buy time for Hiori and Ego to deal with the lock. They managed to turn the lock only once. Ego knew it would be unlikely to do it a second time, so he decided to go another way.
– "Now, quickly, everyone come here and break down this damn door! We’ll hardly manage to turn it a second time!" – Ego grabbed Hiori by the collar, pulling him away, as Hiori no longer knew what to do. Shido, Aiku, and Nagi went to try to break the door down, but realizing they didn’t have enough strength, their mentors arrived and finally managed to break it open. Everyone immediately ran out, and as it turned out, the fire department had also arrived. They started extinguishing the fire and helping others.
Isagi watched all of this with great satisfaction. Thanks to his drone connecting to the video cameras, he saw everything that was happening there. The video was displayed right in front of him on a touch screen.
– "Haha, that was quite interesting. I didn’t think they’d manage to open the lock so quickly. Alright, my job’s not done yet." – The precious stone that was stolen hovered in the boy's hands. – "Let’s go, I need to transfer its power into a sphere. Keeping it in this form is dangerous."
While 6S left, the directors of the organizations started gathering and discussing what had happened.
– "This isn’t funny anymore, we could have all burned alive in one place! And this isn’t the first time he’s done this, putting our lives at risk, and not just our lives but our companies too!" – Lavinho could no longer contain his anger at the boy who nearly killed them.
– "He’s right, we need to do something about this, his recent actions have been very active against us," – Snuffy added his opinion.
– "This is what you’ve been waiting for, isn’t it? I’m almost sure you knew this was going to happen to us," – Noah looked at Ego as though he suspected him of this act.
– "Unfortunately for you, no, my plan was to collect the stone before 6S could take it, but that he set a trap for us was to be expected. Honestly, I’m tired of him constantly ruining my plans, so we need to unite and put him on a leash. This also concerns you, Royal. I know he blew up your warehouse with the weapons, so, are you interested?" – Noticing that their conversation was being overheard, he looked at the team, who were now completely focused on them.
– "I agree to join, but on the condition that only part of my team will participate, namely us," – Luna approached Ego to make a temporary agreement.
