As the auction went on,you bought everything that fascinated you;with Kokonoi's money,of course.
"Oh God!That necklace looks fantastic,Y/n!"-Sasha
"It's Cleopatra's."You said discretely and Sasha gasped.
"No way!!!!Buy it for me,please?"Sasha said through the earpiece.You chuckled and looked at Kokonoi who rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Nope.We are not buying that with my money."Kokonoi said and you smiled.
"Not even if I want it?"You asked with a teasing smile and eyebrow raised.Kokono. stared at you and then sighed.
"If my wife wants that necklace,then of course she will get it."He coldly said and rolled his eyes.
And that's how you got the necklace.From the other side of the room,Sasha was smiling and showing you thumb ups.You rolled your eyes with a smile and looked back at the stage.
The lights were closed in the room,only some left on the stage so that you could see Alex who was announcing the objects put up for auction.
"And next up we ha-"The mic suddenly cut off,which made Alex widen his eyes.
The lights went off on the stage and so did Alex's mic,which made me frown since we didn't plan that.Thanks to Y/n, the leader is not gonna interfere anymore.
"Uhm...Rin?Did you do that?"Sanzu questioned.
"No.Not part of the plan.Kaku?"I questioned and looked on my laptop,at the CCTV footage from the parking lot of the casino,where Kaku was staying in.He is like the hacker of Bonten,way more experienced than Mochi or Takeomi or any other Bonten member.
"Nope.I didn't do anything this time."He spoke and I squinted my eyes at the screen.I heard the sound of heels echoing in the hall,but since it was dark,I couldn't really see where it was coming from.

"What's happening?Y/n?Ran?"I questioned,trying to keep my cool even tho my heartbeat got faster everytime the person,which I am pretty sure is a girl,walked and the sound her heels were making was heard.
"It's a woman.Walking down the stairs."I heard my brother whisper.
"Y/n are you ok?"I asked and heard her hum.
"It's just...We dont know her,do we?"-Y/n.
"No,she isn't.An enemy gang?"Koko questioned and I shook my head,even tho no one could see me.Ran decides to answer.
"Might be-"My brother was cut off by the sound of a gunshot.People started panicking,screaming even,some trying to run.
"This is not good at all.Y/n,Sasha,Koko,Brother,get out of there now!"
"If one of you dares to move,run or scream,I will blow your brains off."A calm female voice spoke loud enough for everyone in the casino to hear.
I glanced at Koko who interwined his hand with mine and squeezed it softly.
"If this isn't part of our plan,then who is she?Why would someone do that if they are not enemy gangs?"-Sanzu.
"Shut up,bubblegum boy!"-Sasha.
I rolled my eyes and tried to focus on the stairs,where the sound came from.As my eyes adjusted to the dark,I could make out a silhouette,but I couldn't see a face.The woman walked down the stairs,probably with a gun in her hand since she shot up in the air already.
Even tho everyone was terrified,it was surprisingly quiet.No one dared to move.There was a yellow light flickering,which made the woman more visible.We couldn't see more than her form,so it didn't really help.
She stopped when she got at the end of the stairs and raised her hand.As the light from behind her flickered,we saw a gun in her hand.She was pointing it at Alex.

"Is she trying what I think she is trying to do?If yes,then she is definitely our enemy."-Sasha.
I widened my eyes when it became clear what she wanted to do.My instincts of making justice and saving Alex kicked in.Even tho I am into Japan's most feared criminal organization,I was a prosecutor after all,so I can't just watch as a person kills someone else;even tho I did that myself,but we don't talk about it.
I let go of Koko's hand and ran towards Alex,who was still on stage,now facing the woman who was more than 20 feet away from him.
"Y/N!"Koko shouted,but I didn't care at that moment.I need to save him.
Just as I was about to jump on the stage and push Alex away,a gunshot was heard.I slowly backed away with wide eyes,realizing that there was no way to save him anymore.I saw his body collapse and then numerous gunshots were heard.All of Maxident's men,in seconds, were dead,on the ground.
Everyone was, unexpectedly,still quiet.Then,the lights turned on and that's when everyone saw the massacre.Maxident,from higher ups to bodyguards,were all dead,shot straight in the head. Everyone started drunning,screaming and gasping at the scene.I looked towards where the woman was,at the end of the staircase,but there was absolutely no sign of her,as if she was never there in the first place.
The only thing that I spotted was a rose left on the last stair.I ran to it and picked it up slowly,crouching down.
"Y/n!"I heard Sasha call my name."Oh god,that's awful."She was now behind me.
"How is that awful?You see dead bodies every day."Koko deadpanned.
"It's awful that that bitch,whoever she was,ruined our plan."She corrected and huffed.I stood back up.
Ran pushed Sasha away and was now behind me,both of his hands on either sides of my shoulders."What's that?"He softly spoke,his breath in my hair.
"A message,maybe?"I looked at the petals of the rose.It was a beautiful black rose that had some golden highlights on it.But those weren't just some normal highlights;they were letters.I brought it closer to my face and tried to dechiper what it was written on one of them.
The letters were elegant,clean and neat,all capital.I suddenly gasped and dropped the flower,covering my mouth.It felt like my legs were giving up on me,and I went numb,but Ran cought me.
"Hey hey hey...What happened?"He asked softly and helped me sit down on the stairs.Sasha and Koko looked at me with concern while Ran was confused and worried.He removed the hairs from my face and I gulped.With shaky hands I pointed at the rose which was on the ground.The three of them all looked at it with frowns on their faces,but then looked at me with wide eyes.
"You don't mean..."Koko trailed off and I nodded,trying to hold back a sob.
"The Puppet Killer was here,with us,just now."
