Food Wars: The Golden Hands

"Look...you don't need to be worried, unlike any other test, this shop is special, you don't need to change anything, the old man does not expect from you to solve his problems." Seiryuu trued the soft approach first "Judging by your performance today, he must've contacted the school and request for your passing."

Alexander and Erina exchanged a look between each other

"How do you know that." Asked Erina

"Because none of the previous students failed, all they needed to do is try and make the shop work again for a couple of days and then they're off." Said Seiryuu

"But what if I want more? What if I want to make this shop run all year without any trouble?" Said Alexander

"Then I have no choice but to force you..." Seiryuu snapped his fingers and two of his goons stepped forward

"You should've listened to his words." Said one of them

"Don't regret this." Added the other

"Before we start, can I ask you a question?" Alexander looked at Seiryuu and ignored the fools in front of him

"What? You want to leave, right? You should've done so early on." Said Seiryuu as he thought Alexander had changed his mind

"Nah! I just want to ask why did you quit being a chef?"

Seiryuu tensed up as the word 'chef' was mentioned "That is none of your business. Take him down."

The two boys from before jumped on Alexander. Erina backed off quickly to not get in the way

One of the boys dashed below Alexander and throw an uppercut punch, Alexander quickly avoided that. He sends an elbow to the boy's head making him hit the iron door and smashed his head on it

The other took the chance and punched Alexander with a straight punch but Alexander blocked it in the neck of the time, he quickly got hold of his arm and twisted his hand making him kneel in front of him. He then kicked the boy in his chest cutting his air out

"GUH!!" The boy rolled on the ground from pain.

The other who was smashed on the door had recovered and tried to attack again

"Enough!" Alexander became annoyed and grabbed the boy's head and smashed him again on the iron door again, but this time, he was knocked out.

"Sigh~" Alexander looked at the remaining 5 "Really, you were gonna beat me to leave? Bad choice considering that you choose me."

"Hah? What're you talking about, don't get c.o.c.ky because you took out two of us." seiryuu opened his hoodie and prepared to fight

"What is going on here?" A cold voice came from Seiryuu's group.

Seiryuu and his group jumped back to see who was it. In front of them. A group of 15 men wearing black suits with Vlad in front of them

"Boss..." Vlad looked at Alexander and the two men on the floor and realized why happened

"Hmmm... Now if we do the math..." Alexander went into deep thoughts "...Right!!...You're f.u.c.k.i.e.d!" Alexander started laughing "Take them out." And that was the last thing Seiryuu and his group heard before they were assaulted with iron fists from all directions.

Alexander looked behind him to look for Erina who was sitting on a public chair waiting for them to finish. Honestly, she can't say she was surprised by Alexander. She was his friend since a young age, don't you think she hasn't seen him fighting a few times already.

"Oi, Erina! Let's go." He called for Erina who stood up and ran up to him

"Everything is Alright?" She asked

"Yeah, let's go to the hotel." Said Alexander "Vlad bring the car."

Vlad brought his car and Alexander and Erina got in "Bring these 7 with you, we still need to talk."

"As you wish." Vlad assigned someone to drive the car while he took care of the 7 boys

The car took off to the nearby Red Cloud Hotel, it is a hotel that was built to host the tired travelers and the ones who either missed their flight or are waiting for it.

Their rooms were ready, Erina entered her room and took a shower immediately, working for more than 10 hours has exhausted her completely. She fell asleep immediately after she hit the bed.

While Alexander was in his room with Vlad and the others. The seven boys from early on were kneeling in front of his bed.

"The deal is... I will ask questions, you answer me honestly, if you don't you will get punished.

" first of all..." Alexander didn't wait for them to agree "On whose orders you moved?" He asked

"..." The seven didn't answer, so Alexander didn't play their game and signaled for Vlad to move.

He and 6 other men brought 7 large Pockets of water, they placed them in front of the seven boys. And without any delay, the shoved their heads in the water.

The boys kicked around for freedom and air.

Only after they made sure that they were out of air did Alexander order for them to stop

"FUAAAH!! WHAT THE F.U.C.K!!" Shouted Seiryuu

"GUH!!!" The other all were gargling for air and throwing up the water they drank. Their expressions were red from fear and lack of air

"Again... On whose order did you move?" He asked

"Wh-" Seiryuu was about to speak but Alexander looked at Vlad again who put force on his hand "OKAY OKAY!! IT WAS MY ORDERS!!" Seiryuu shouted

"No one else asked you to do so?" Asked Alexander with his eyes narrowed trying to get every hint possible for an incoming lie

"No! I am the leader of this group, we wanted you to leave the old man alone, so we can keep going with our plane." Seiryuu said earnestly

"Good..." Alexander had only asked to see if that man is messing with him again, Keanu and his uncle are out in Italy and will only return after a couple of weeks after cleaning the Romano family's higher-ups and complete the merging.

"Now...Why did you quit being a chef? And why did you want us to leave the old man alone?" Alexander asked again, after making sure that these guys are just normal fools, he returned to the task at hand.

"I told you..." Without completing his sentence, Vlad and the others shoved the 7 guys in the water.

They kicked around again for air, but this time, Alexander let them stay longer, just in case he doesn't want to keep playing this game.

After 49 seconds, one of them started showing signs of fainting, Alexander ordered them to get them out.

And just like before, they gasped for air like crazy, Seiryuu's eyes were red from tears and lack of oxygen

"Just answer the damn question..." Said Alexander

"I... I...I quit because..." Seiryuu was having a hard time talking due to the lack of oxygen in his lungs "I got us in trouble with the Rodan Yakuza."

"Who are those...?" Asked Alexander

Vlad pushed his glasses and spike first" The Rodan Yakuza is this area's ruling underground force, their leader is the younger brother of Japan's vice-president and the big brother of the Head of the police department. His relationship with these two is still hidden from the public, the reason he is not a known underground leader is that he keeps his operations in this small area with little help of his brothers and not make the public take notice of him. Even though his family is small and ultimately weaker than anyone but his influence and relationsh.i.p.s are what is keeping him strong and rich, not many people dare to harm him due to his brothers' social statue..."

Alexander nodded in understanding while Vlad continued "...His business revolves around taking over this area's business shops, hotels, and restaurants under his name...I think this young man is one of his victims, I assume he was threatened to get the building for them." Vlad has already done his research when he heard the name of the restaurant as he swore he heard that name before in one of his conversations with his subordinates.

"Aaww!! Aren't you a little cute boy! You were trying to protect the bald old man!!" Alexander felt like his heart was melting from this drama twist.

"...!!" Seiryuu was shocked to hear this detailed report. He felt so n.a.k.e.d "Just who are you guys?!!" He asked in disbelieve.

Alexander ignored him and looked at Vlad "...Does that mean he went after this hotel once?" He asked

Vlad smirked "Yes...Once when this hotel was under construction, 8 years ago."

"Alright, take what you need and go pay him a visit." Alexander jumped off his bed.

Seiryuu and the others were shocked by this conversation

"What about the Vice-president and the head of the police department?" Asked Vlad. He Already let go of Seiryuu

Alexander took off his shirt to go in the shower "Don't tell me you forgot how to do silent missions?!"

"Hahaha!! Of course not." Vlad laughed that off "But what about these guys?"

Alexander stopped for a moment and looked at their pitiful sight "You...what is your name?" Alexander pointed at Seiryuu, all Alexander know about him is that he is the grandson of Enryuu and he has many face piercings

"...Seiryuu." He said with a trembling voice

" I will take care of your problem and in exchange, you need to go back to the restaurant and take over your original work."

Seiryuu couldn't speak, does that mean his problems are all over? No! It can't be that easy!!

Vlad ordered the others to take Seiryuu and his friends out and he followed behind them

"Vlad..." Alexander called

"Yes..."

"Keep beating them until 5 AM." Said Alexander before he closed the shower door.

Of course, he doesn't forget that he was attacked by them early on. And he still needs to implant some fear in Seiryuu to keep him in check.
