Alex drove as fast as he can to arrive at Hajima hideout because he has to tell him some useful information about the enemy or Minoru. When he parked his sports car in front of the Biker Club, Nigel asked Alex.

"Did you stole the car?"

"Kinda," says Alex being honest.

"What do you mean kinda?"

"In short, the manager I have done some errands to get a car didn't let me gain the car I serve so I beat the shit out of him."

"You mean the one who got recently robbed?"

"Yes. That one asshole."

"Alright... If you really wanted a car you could've bought from me, you know? I have a ton of cars there, remember?" says Nigel pointing his finger at that big warehouse filled with cars of different brands and types.

"I-I didn't know, but let's get to the point... The reason I am here is that I have some useful information about Minoru." says Alex while he enters the Biker Club when Nigel left him entering the building.

"Actually, it is a good time. We also have someone new here, kid."

"Huh?"

"Come upstairs." says Nigel climbing the stairs to the first floor where Hajima, the old Yakuza boss is resting the rest of his life in a bed and planning the setup to kill his own son.

Alex and Nigel are climbing the stairs who are leading to the first floor. When they have arrived at the first floor, both of them are walking in the hallway to the room where Hajima is resting, while both of them are almost in that room, they are hearing some muffled screams and the sound of someone beating somebody with a piece of wood. The first thought of Alex was that those sounds are just somebody being tortured, and he is right.

When Alex has entered the room, he saw there Hajima, who is sitting on a chair and looking menacingly at one yakuza member who is tied in a chair and beat by one of Hajima's right hand, the guy who was running for that yakuza driver who was on a vacation. It looks like the guys have watched him and now they are torturing him to acquire important information about Hajima.

That employee of Hajima punches that member of the Yakuza and asks him out loud.

"Speak you, dirty Yakuza!"

"I-I-I hav-e told you..." says that yakuza member to the guy who was beating him and who is standing in front of him like a night guard in the front of a Factory. "I d-do not k-know the family of M-Minoru..."

"You do not know, eh? Then why the fuck are you his driver?!" yelled that man who is owned by Hajima while he gives a slap to the face of that yakuza driver. "If you do not tell us something important about Minoru in a minute, we will kill you! Do you understand?!"

"N-No, please! I-I will give you something!"

"Alright! Speak up!"

"T-the boss-boss is ... um... it is going on a vacation in Europe."

"Vacation in Europe?" asks Alex while he makes almost everyone in this room looking at him surprised or intrigued. "Didn't he is going to Emerald City?"

"What?!" yelled that yakuza driver to Alex.

"What are you talking about?" asks the guy who is interrogating that yakuza ex-driver. "Who told you this crap?!"

"A-A guy who is working for the y-yakuza gang... I think his name was Joro and Sasuke."

When Alex told those names, Hajima he takes his cane, he rises from that couch who was sitting and he is walking to Alex, and there, Hajima is looking at Alex's eyes, while everyone is holding his breath. Alex was feeling uncomfortable while the boss is looking at him, and that guy who beat to a pulp that yakuza driver. The boss is smiling at Alex and he is telling him.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Those two guys are very reliable for us... Nigel."

"Yes, sir?" says Nigel to his boss.

"Give this guy the reward he is deserving." says Hajima to Nigel, while he points to a closet and Nigel is going there to give Alex the reward he is deserving for spying on Minoru. " And you kid, you have finished the work. Be glad to accept our reward."

"Alright, sir." says Nigel giving Alex a backpack filled with money.

Alex was shocked at this reward, but, when the backpack was immediately handed to him, he refused the money and he tells Minoru and everyone in this room.

"I cannot accept this money."

"Why not?" asks Nigel feeling confused if he should listen to Alex's reason or do what Hajima ordered to do.

"You see, back in my hometown I was a drug addict, and a thief. Here, I wanted to be a normal person, one who doesn't want to have some business with street gangs or mafia gangs. I am grateful for helping you and trusting me, but I cannot accept those amounts of money."

"I do not know why you don't want this money..." says the guy who was torturing and interrogating that yakuza driver. "But. Your opinion boss?"

"It is not my decision, Greg." respond Hajima to the guy named Greg. "Keep the money, Nigel."

Nigel is putting that money back in the closet and the guy named Greg is going to that yakuza guy and he is starting to beat him for telling him a lie. Hajima is not looking at his man beating one of his guy workers, because he is leaving with Alex from that room. When those two have left the room, Hajima is making a Japanese-style bow to Alex as a mark of respect and he tells him.

"If you ever need help with something, we can help you."

"Thanks." says Alex to Hajima while he was doing the same bow Hajima has done before. "I hope we will see you again someday."

"Yes, kid... I hope..." says Hajima to Alex. "Anyway, good luck in life and always be ready for everything."

"I will."

After a few seconds, Alex has left the building and he was about to enter his car, but right when he was about to open the door, he hears a gunshot coming from the Biker Bar and he thinks that the guy who was tortured has finally bitten the dust. Alex gets in his car and he is driving to the new place that his cousin Chris has bought for him."
