Chapter 539: Infiltration (1)

Both Shin and Tetsu alighted from the van, making their way to the shrubbery outside of the imposing office building. It was at least 20 stories high, looking like a fortress from the outside.

Shin almost melded into the shadows, his small figure reminiscent of a Shinobi as he made his way towards the building with haste. His footsteps were light, and he clutched his sword tightly to his body.

Tetsu on the other hand merely walked forward as if no one was watching. This scene caused everyone in the van to feel a headache coming on.

It seemed like their luck was terrible as the security guard happened to walk around the corner, his flashlight locking onto Tetsu in the next moment.

“W-What the hell is he doing!?” Tomoya almost blew a blood vessel. They had yet to even infiltrate the place and Tetsu was already caught.

“Oi, this is private property. Leave at once!” The guard shouted, his voice stern.

A second security guard arrived shortly after, likely roused by his partners loud voice.

“Ehhh? What do ya mean p-private property? Ishhn’t this the Warriot Hotel?” Tetsu said, his words slurred. He stumbled slightly before trying to pull up his pants.

The two guards saw the scene and sighed, easing up considerably. Seeing that the guy had been drinking and seemed to be lost, they lowered their guard.

They turned to each other briefly before one of them approached Tetsu slowly. “Hey man, if you’re looking for the Warriot Hotel, it’s in that direction.” He said, pointing to the west.

While the guard he’d left behind was listening to the conversation, his vision spun all of a sudden. Before he knew what happened, he was already taking a nap on the pavement.

Seeing this, Tetsu straightened up his body, no longer acting inebriated.

The guard shivered, feeling the atmosphere change slightly. He looked up, seeing Tetsu’s scary features in the dim streetlights and knew that he had messed up.

In the next moment, the man’s arms were around his neck, choking him out.

He tried his best to pry himself free, but his strength quickly drained from him and he lost consciousness.

Tetsu released his hold before yanking him off the ground and placing him on his shoulder with ease. He then casually walked back over to the van and put him on the ground.

The door opened, revealing Tomoya’s red and angry face.

“What the hell are you doing? That wasn’t part of the plan!” He said unhappily.

“Shuttup.” Tetsu said dismissively as he began to take the security guard’s uniform off.

Shin returned a few moments later, dragging a large figure behind him, though it was clear he had struggled doing so. He didn’t make any complaints.

Tetsu finally retrieved the uniform and held it up in front of him, his expression changing a few times.

Without a word he threw it to Shin, there was no way he’d fit into the small shirt.

Thankfully, the other guy was larger.

A few minutes later, the two were dressed in the security guard’s uniforms and ready to go. They changed the radio frequency and did a few tests.

“W-What are you guys doing?” A panicked voice came from the smaller guard, his face turned up in horror as he woke up and saw many gangsters surrounding him.

SHIIING

“Tell us the codes for getting into the building.” Shin said, placing the point of his Katana on the guy’s neck.

“123654.”

The group blinked a few times, not expecting the guy to answer right away. However, they seemed to overestimate the loyalty an underpaid security guard had to their company.

“Tie them up.” Shin announced, sheathing his sword.

With that, the two walked back up to the building to begin the infiltration.

“We splittin’ up?” Tetsu asked.

“Mmm. Remember, our main priority is finding the two boys.” Shin replied calmly.

Tetsu nodded, he didn’t need reminding. He decided to take the western side of the building, bringing out the guard’s torch and scoping around.

Thankfully, his actions weren’t suspicious since guard’s often patrolled this way.

He passed by a smoking area, finally seeing a door to the inside of the building. Tetsu looked around a few times before moving forward.

“What was the code again?” He mumbled.

“123456?”

However, just before he put in the code, his radio went off.

“Remember, the code is 123654. If you guys get into some trouble you can’t handle, say the safe word ‘pineapple’ over the radio and we’ll come in full force.” Naoki said.

“Ah, that’s right.” Tetsu nodded, inputting the numbers into the keypad.

If the occupants in the van were aware of just how close they were to failing this mission, they might have all ganged up on Tetsu and beaten him an inch from death.

Thankfully, he was able to get into the building without setting off the alarm.

The first thing that filled his vision was the dark lobby. It was kind of eerie, but there were some sources of light here and there from the TV screens scattered around.

Tetsu began to skulk around slowly, using his torch every now and then to check out some things. Since the boys were being held in such a busy building, they would need to be hidden from sight, which meant either a basement or private floor.

He discovered the elevator which seemed to be off at this moment. Even if it were on, it would be foolish to use it since it would just announce someone’s presence.

“Damn, the elevator is off… That’s inconvenient.” Tetsu muttered, letting out a small sigh as if lamenting his situation.

He then kept looking along the wall, searching for the stairwell. It wasn’t long before he came across the correct door, but instead of opening it right away, he waited.

“…So…close.”

Tetsu’s ears perked up as he heard talking behind the door. The voices gradually faded, along with the sound of footsteps retreating down the stairwell.

“Bingo…” He muttered, a smile creeping onto his features.

He waited in silence for a few minutes, not wanting to blow his cover just yet.
