Bonten

The heavy doors slid open slowly, and you calmly entered the hall where the Bonten members were already waiting. The expensive marble, dim lighting, and armed men lining the walls created an oppressive atmosphere, but you didn't care.

You were the head of the Two Angels organization, and even the mafia treated you with caution.

Manjiro Sano and Haruchiyo Sanzu were sitting at the table.

When you approached, Mikey stood up.

T-shirts:

• Glad to finally meet you in person.

He took your hand and kissed it briefly. Sanzu only chuckled.

T-shirts:

• Have a seat.

You sat down calmly opposite me, as if it was an ordinary conversation.

T-shirts:
— I don’t like wasting time, so let’s get straight to the point.

He leaned forward slightly.

T-shirts:
— I want Two Angels to become a part of Bonten.

There was silence in the room.

T-shirts:
"You'll retain the power and the people. Only one thing will change—we'll now be one organization."

Sanzu:
— Not everyone gets such an offer.

You chuckled.

You:
— And what does Bonten get in return?

Sanzu wanted to answer, but Mikey stopped him with a look.

T-shirts:

• You.

Even Sanzu fell silent for a second.

T-shirts:
"You're smart, cool-headed, and you know how to keep people in line. Allies like that are too valuable."

He put a folder with documents in front of you.

T-shirts:
"If you agree, you'll sign the contract. If not, we'll remain partners. I'm not going to pressure you."

You looked down at the papers, but were in no hurry to open them.
