(Jack's pov)
The air in Tokyo has been tense recently, while the news about the escaped convicts has been kept on the down low sadly for the police. The same couldn't be said about the yakuza killing.
The meeting in the arena was two days ago, and just as I predicted, the grandmaster's forces started moving yesterday.
I watched the live feed of Hanayama's assassination attempt if it could be called that and I wasn't impressed sending 3 idiots with guns after him is far from enough but it was amusing to watch him chase down their car scaring the shit out of them If anything.
Right now, I was with Yuuri after finding out about the bunker and seeing it. She said something about it being too minimalistic, whatever that means, but I will admit that a metal table and chair aren't exactly what I would call comfortable.
So that led us here out shopping for furniture to add to my secret room. Normally, I wouldn't agree to something like this mainly because that room was meant to be rarely if ever used.
But seeing that it would be a nice distraction for her from what is going around recently I relented and I also thought that it would be nice to have a game room in the house so why not have it be this room might as well make use of it.
We spent the next couple of hours or so going around picking the furniture, and in the end, we settled on the room having 2 mods and 3 if we counted look down.
Mod 1 is just your typical man cave: a small bookshelf of comics, DVDs, and a gaming setup with a large tv screen to watch whatever your heart desires on it. Add a minifridge filled with snacks, and you are done.
Mod 2 was a quiet and relaxing reading room. We decided to put two comfortable leather chairs in the corner of the room alongside a sturdy bookcase that we would stock with books on a later date.
The setup may sound strange, with the two mods being almost complete opposites. It sounds like it wouldn't work without some mumbo-jumbo-level piston work, but it can with the trick being in the lighting.
All I had to do was paint the room with a neutral colour and add some lights that basically allowed me to change the whole mood of the room with the flick of a switch.
The second mod had the whole room look like it was lit up by a fireplace with the tv having a fireplace channel on to complete the look.
Just as we were going home, my phone gave a notification. As I looked at it, I saw a picture of the grandmaster and Hanayama.
I frown seeing this
'Hmm, so they started fighting now. That's a problem; I don't know where any of the inmates are right now. I don't know if the grandmaster made a deal or even met any of them.'
I tried to get a live feed of the fight only to get a message that the cameras were out of order. Of course, they would shut the cameras' I sigh.
"Jack is everything okay" I looked at Yuuri and smiled at her before I replied "Just a change of schedule that's all come on let's get back home I don't want to be late" she nodded at me as I grabbed her hand and started heading back home.

(3rd pov)
Hanayama was on his last leg bleeding out after taking multiple shots, two of which were to the heart and brain.
The grandmaster walked past him to pick up his hat that fell on the floor during their fight as Hanayama fell on his knees and then on his face in a pool of his own blood.
"Sleep tight darling" the grandmaster blew him a kiss before walking as he gave instructions telling his men to keep an eye on him and make sure he was dead.
A couple of minutes passed as a group of armed men came to check on Hanayama only to see a Giant filled with scars picking him up.
"Hey drop him now" one of them said as they all pointed their guns at him "huh, are you guys with that midget" the giant asked, "I said to drop him now".
The giant didn't answer, instead, he punched the man in the face, sending him flying back, hitting two others and knocking all three of them out.
Seeing this the last man pointed his gun at him only for the rifle that went flying when the first man was hit to come down on his head knocking him out.
Seeing this the giant turned around only to stop as he heard a voice calling him "that was an impressive display boy".
The giant turned around to see a man that looked in his 50s wearing all black with a bald head 7'3 (221cm) not that he noticed any of that as he was too busy looking around before he pointed at himself.
"Me?"
"Yes you boy you are quite strong what is your name" that cause the giant to scratch the back of his head as he smiled like an idiot "ahaha thank, people call me Rex"
"Oh well I'm spec tell me boy you want to play a game"
Rex just smiled "ah sure… wait I need to get Hanayama to the hospital" he looked at Hanayama in his arms finally remembering that he was bleeding out.
"Oh but he can join…"
"Why don't I play with you" spec was interrupted as Jack came from behind Rex putting his hands on his shoulder as he spoke.
"You should get Hanayama to the hospital fast" he said as he patted Rex on his back "yes, thanks".
As Rex walked away Jack turned to look at spec only to see him pointing a small revolver at his face.
BANG!!
spec shot him in the face from just a couple of feet away as he had a sadistic smile on his face only to freeze a second later.
Jack's neck was bent back after he took the bullet but he didn't fall or move after that he slowly straightened his neck as he showed spec that he caught the bullet between his teeth.
"Amazing" spec muttered as he stared at Jack only to see Jack's upper body expand before spat out the bullet sending it straight down the barrel of the revolver causing it to explode in spec's hand.
Spec grabbed his hand in pain but he didn't get the chance to scream as Jack's palm hit him in the face sending him flying back and crashing into a car bending it.
Jack stood there looking at spec waiting before he spoke "are you going to pretend to be knocked out for long?"
Spec didn't move for a second before he grabbed a bunch of broken glass from the car's window and threw it at Jack's face.
Jack smirked as he shielded his eyes with his hand only for Spec to appear in front of his as soon as he moved it
[Apnea ruch] spec signature move relying on his superhuman lung capacity spec can hold his breath for 5 minutes of unrelenting attack he can deliver over a hundred punch and kick in just a couple of seconds that way leaving no room for a counter-attack.
That is the move spec used at that moment: the sound of him hitting Jack loud enough to vibrate the glass windows near them, the forces strong enough to sink Jack's feet into the ground.
Despite all of that Jack didn't move not a single inch he took what amounted to nearly a thousand hits a minute.
One minute..
Two minutes…
Three minutes…
At the start of the fifth and last minute Jack began to move slowly, he lifted both of his arms over his head.
And only after spec stopped his attack taking a big breath of air did he look at his hands to see them broken only then did he feel the pain in his foot only then did he look up at Jack to see both of his hands up not in a fist but a chop.
SPLATTER
The scene looked like a horror film as blood was everywhere Spec stood there his upper body split into three as two cuts each between his shoulders and neck ran all the way down to his solar plexus cutting through his ribcage, shoulder blades and lungs.
Spec didn't seem to register the pain, his face frozen in shock as he crumbled to the ground. The last thing he saw was Jack shirtless looking down at him covered in blood.
The sound of sirens could be heard as Jack disappeared, the last thought on his mind 'I really need to start taking my clothes off before a fight'
