August 13, clear skies, perfect for a protest.
This was the third day since the numerous bloodshed incidents orchestrated by Takeda Fuji had been exposed, and thousands of citizens with diverse backgrounds had gathered below the Takeda Fuji headquarters building.
"Shut down Takeda Fuji! Punish Takai Baoyu severely!"
"Bloody debts must be repaid in blood! Punish the murderer!"
"Takai Baoyu must turn himself in to the police immediately!"
Various slogans roared into the air, and on the periphery of the protesting crowd were several heavily armed rapid response police teams, poised for action.
In the top-floor office, Takai Baoyu, wearing an expensive suit, stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down contemptuously at the crowded masses below like ants.
