“Where were you last week? Were you by any chance in LA?” asked Isao with eyes narrowed.
Shido tilted his head a bit in response, "...No," replied Shido with a delay as he thought of many possible reasons for this question. Shido's fingers were moving weirdly as if he was ready to strangle Isao the moment he says something he shouldn't.
"Really?" questioned Isao.
Now Shido was just an inch close to killing this dude. Whatever happened in Los Angeles was like a wound that had just started to close up and now Isao's questioning was like scratching that wound.
Doesn't hurt but irritates a lot.
"Really," replied Shido as he stared directly into Isao's narrowed eyes. Isao's expression turned more serious after hearing Shido's answer.
"Oh really? Then... How come you can cry 'What happened in LA was a tragedy?' without even going through 1% of it? Don't you think you are just virtue-signaling here?" Isao admonished Shido.
Shido sighed a breath of relief in his mind as what Isao insinuated was nothing related to him being in LA during the fight. It was good that Isao was like everyone... oblivious of the truth.
But getting belittled was not a welcomed outcome either and the situation was not yet over. Isao started to lecture him about how horrible things were in LA during the fight and how people were affected in those situations. Slowly and gradually, people started gathering around them and started listening to the 'pains' that he and the people of LA had to feel.
"You talk too much for someone who wasn't even at Downtown... And I am the one virtue-signaling?" Shido interrupted Isao mid-speech.
Shido made a remark pointing out Isao's hypocrisy but he didn't react in the usual 'You insulted me! I am angry!' instead, there was an ironic smile on his face.
Isao just flung his coat with his plastered hand and left the crowd. This move earned Shido glares from the crowd present. Nobody said anything, they just glared at him. Shido looked around and everyone, including Fuyumi, were looking at him as if he just mocked Isao's suffering.
'They were not present when Isao belittled me... now when I retorted back, they all think I did a dick move,' Shido sighed and moved out of the crowd to apologize to Isao. He saw Isao going somewhere, so Shido just followed Isao and was about to call him to apologize but he noticed something unusual.
He saw four red dots in the [Map] in his HUD, meaning four hostile entities just entered the map range. Shido quickly opened the [Map] function and looked for the hostile entities and their location was in the Inventory of the hotel. So instead of following Isao, Shido turned around and moved toward the Inventory.
Isao turned his head a bit and saw Shido turning around and moving away. He didn't think much of that and continued walking towards his destination.
"This is going to be one of our biggest hauls. Just one kill and $10 Million," a bald man (Wotah) said as he took out an assault rifle from a big black bag.
"I can already hear the Ka-ching sound. Woo! Boy, I am hella excited!" a tall burly man who had a fire tattoo on the left side of his face shouted in excitement.
"Hold your horses, Faiyer! Don't shout. The work ain't even done yet and you are celebrating now... Someone could've fucking heard you! Just-Just shut the fuck up and prepare..." a scrawny guy (Teembar) commanded at the tall burly man, Faiyer.
"What's the problem, boss? We just need to kill one rich kid in a party full of rich kids who are dumb enough to leave their bodyguards in a room far from the main hall. What the fuck the organizer was thinking? With these arrangements, Faiyer alone can block the entrance and tank all the bodyguards." said the last guy (Weend) of the group.
All of them were preparing for their mission, which was to kill Isao Nagamine, CEO of Nagamine Enterprises.
"I heard that there is a girl who is so good that all the guys at the party want her and then there is our guy who is wanted by all the girls..." said Weend.

"Fuck these good-looking rich kids! I just want to be done with this work and go home," shouted Faiyer.
"Hey boss, how about we kidnap the girl and have our way? I mean, the last job we did in Kenya really fucked up my mind and I am all up for some quality relaxation. You don't even need to do anything... Just say the word and I will be doing all the work. How about it?" said Wotah.
"You clearly know that one of the girls is Endeavor's daughter... So just think of the consequences before acting up. That's all." said Teembar as he assembled his assault rifle.
"Have you seen that douche? He's so ugly. No way that girl is going to be his daughter!" said Wotah.
"You do you... as long as it doesn't affect the job. The moment I feel you are a liability, I will put a fucking hole in your head!" said Teembar but he quickly turned when he heard the metal gate of the Inventory opening.
On the gate stood a man with black hair. Wotah being the closest to the gate, walked up to the man and put a hand on the man's shoulder, "Bro. You unlucky as fuck. You came to the wrong place at the wrong time. You see that bloke over there," Wotah pointed at Faiyer, "He's gonna rip you in two. You are now locked in with us."
But the man just stood there like a wood log even when Wotah continued talking about how they were going to torture him to death. Fed up with the man's antic, Wotah faced him up front.
"Is anything I am saying to you getting in your head, You fucker?"
"You said you were going to do something to a girl at the party... What were you going to do?" said the man with a cold and distant voice.
But this brought a smile to Wotah's face, "Broskies! this dude is a hero type... Look. '~Oh my charming knight on a white horse and a shining cock ring~ Fuck bro... Like you really wanna hear, what I am gonna do to her? So listen up... I am gonna kidnap her---"
"...Say it while you look into my eyes..." said the man.
"Very well..." Wotah looked into man's eyes and continued, "I am gonna kidnap her and then fuc-- AAAAHH!!!!!"
But two heat rays from the man's eyes came and directly hit at Wotah's eyes, stopping his words and forcing him into excruciating pain. His face started melting off and Wotah could only scream in pain. He tried to block the rays but the rays pierced through his hands and continued melting his face.
Wotah's body dropped down and the man stood there with two orange glowing eyes. He slowly closed the Inventory room's door. He then turned to the rest of the mercenaries.
"I am not locked in here with you... You're locked in with me."
[In the Manager's Office]
Isao was looking at the computer screen on which security camera footage was playing. In the video, a man with black hair could be seen brutalizing three people as one laid down dead.
'So this is who you are, Shido?... a wolf in a sheep's skin.'
