Episode 10

"Didn't know I'd meet you this way, V"

"Didn't know you'd welcome me like this. Shun Oguri."

==========================

The man steps forward and signals his men to back away.

The remaining men looked at both of them confused and one shouted.

"Boss, what's going on? We were ordered to kill him!"

A man glares at V then at Shun Oguri.

"You can't do that. The order we received from the higher-ups is equivalent to suicide. Don't be too brave, boy. Be smart."

Oguri pats the man's shoulder and ends it with a tight grip.

"Oguri."

V speaks, wanting to get down to brass tacks immediately.

Shun Oguri nods knowingly. With a final look, he send his men away. Though still hesitant, the men left them not before looking at them suspiciously and glaring at V who simply salutes them mockingly with an annoying smirk.

"Follow me." – Oguri

They end up at the very end of the warehouse, where Oguri's office is located.

"By any minute, they'll know you're a traitor." – V

"Here's the document. I prepared everything there. From names to places I know. There are a lot more but I've got no way of getting all the information. They're more careful than expected." – Oguri

"I can't believe your putting your life for this one." –V

"I'd betray anyone but your father." –Oguri

"I'm not my father."

V sniggers.

Oguri looks at him with a smirk.

"It's the fact that you have his vicious blood in you. I owe him my life once. I have to repay that for a lifetime." – Oguri

"Once is enough." – V

"That once you're talking about is the reason you're talking to me right now. Your father has helped me in more ways. We're in a tough and dark side of the world. You think I could've survived up until now without him?"

Oguri lights a cigarette.

"Think again, kid. Your father doesn't need to move an inch to work. He has his eyes everywhere. And he has his men everywhere."

Oguri puffs smoke.

"You'll die serving my old man."

V fixes the documents in his suit.

"I won't die, kid."
