He scanned the room, looking for someone who appeared to be preparing the tea. As he approached the small table with the tea set, he spotted a young man pouring hot water into a teapot. Kishin cleared his throat and stepped forward.
"Excuse me, may I offer to deliver the tea to the boss myself? I would be honored to serve him," Kishin said, trying to sound as sincere as possible.
The young man looked at him suspiciously, but after a moment, he handed him the tray with the tea. Kishin quickly slipped the drug into the tea and made his way to the staircase that led to the boss's chambers.
As he climbed the stairs, he saw Yomu, the underboss of the Black Dragons, standing at the top of the stairs. "What are you doing here?" Yomu asked, looking at the tray in Kishin's hand.
Kishin tried to come up with an excuse, but before he could say anything, Yomu snatched the tray from him. "I'll take that," Yomu said, heading towards the boss's chambers.
Kishin hung back, trying to blend in with the crowd. He saw Weirdlock slipping into the gambling den, but before he could make his way to the boss's chambers, Yomu let out a blood-curdling scream.
"The boss is dead! Someone poisoned his tea!" Yomu shouted, looking straight at Kishin.
The doors to the gambling den were locked, and Yomu and his henchmen began to chase after Kishin. Kishin knew that he had to escape and fast. He pushed his way through the crowd, dodging Yomu and his henchmen as he made his way towards the exit. Luckily, Kishin wasn't as heavy as Yomu, and he had long-planned running away from here. There was no yakuza career to be found.
Finally, he burst out of the gambling den and ran as fast as he could towards Weirdlock's office. Once there, Kishin explained to Weirdlock what had happened and how Yomu was the one who killed the boss.
Weirdlock listened to Kishin's story, nodding gravely. "I saw Yomu kill the boss," he said. "I couldn't investigate the body and had to retreat. We have to be careful now. Yomu will stop at nothing to silence us."
