Hoshino Ichiro's death.
It did not cause any ripples.
The fighters forged a recording.
It was sent to Hoshino Ichiro's superior—Uchida Hikaru.
The content of the recording was Hoshino Ichiro supposedly planning to expose, along with three others tomorrow, a past incident where he had embezzled one million US dollars during a Task.
A new member at the headquarters, who provided the material, took it upon themselves, out of a desire to show loyalty, spent a significant amount of money to make them disappear, and only reported to Uchida Hikaru right before the action.
Initially, Uchida Hikaru did not believe it because the recording was too bizarre.
After much deliberation,
he made a call to Hoshino Ichiro.
What Hoshino Ichiro heard was merely Uchida Hikaru asking him to follow the Driver to carry out a Task, but to Uchida Hikaru's ears, it sounded like Hoshino Ichiro had some newfound sense of justice.
