TAKAHASHI
Allan Cortez has begun his speech. I smiled, silently ticking down the minutes before the surprise performance which I had prepared would take place tonight.
Tonight, would be a special one. I was almost too giddy with excitement, it was a little bit of a struggle to keep my composure.
For the nth time this evening, I heard the ear-piece I was wearing cackle to life.
"Anata no aizu de, Boss," the smile on my face deepened upon hearing those words from my underboss.
Everything was ready. I was to give the signal and, ta-da, the greatest performance that will ever be written in history under my name was about to take place.
There was a round of applause which was a result of Allan Cortez's introducing me for my speech.
I gladly took his place on the podium.
"Thank you. Thank you for the warm welcome. My people and I are grateful," I said, making sure to gesture to my Capos who were assembled behind me.
