Chapter 32
The apartment was quiet.Hiroshi lay on his bed. Eyes closed. Body heavy. He hadn't slept properly in days. Muscles ached. Mind racing. He tried to slow his breathing with breathing exercise. For the first time in a while, he taught about Hana. Her smile flashed in for like five seconds. He shook it off.He was almost asleep when the blue light appeared.LitRPG:[New Quest: "Shut Down the Organ Harvesters"][Target: Kuroda Credit][Intel Source: Mika Kobayashi][Risk Level: Extreme][Reward: 25,000,000 Credits][Reputation Boost: "The Debt Eater"][Warning: Human traffickers. Armed guards. Do not engage without preparation.]Hiroshi sat up immediately. His heart raced faster than earlier on. His eyes scan the words.He reached for his phone fast. Typed a message to Mika."Send me everything. Addresses. Names. Guard rotations. I'm going there tomorrow night."He put the phone down and laid on his back staring at the ceiling.He took a deep breath. “Tomorrow night,” he muttered.The rai

Hiroshi stopped outside his mother's hospital room. He looked through the small hole in the door. She was sitting up in bed. Her hair had gone thin. Face pale. But her eyes were open. That was enough comfort for him. He smiled slightly.He pushed the door open.Emiko turned her head. Her whole expression changed when she saw him. Her eyes lit up in joy. Those tired eyes."You came." Her voice was thin. But warm."Always mama. I have missed you." Hiroshi pulled the chair close to the bed and sat down. He took her hand. It was cold. The bones felt closer to the surface than he remembered."How are you feeling?" he said."Better. The doctors say I'm improving."Hiroshi smiled. "Good to hear." His voice came out hoarse."It's good to see you." She looked at his face and frowned. "You look tired. Have you been overworking again?"Hiroshi laughed."Stop it. I'm fine.""You always say that.""Because I always am. Okay. Relax."Emiko squeezed his hand. "What are you doing to yourself?""Nothin

The sun was up. Light came in through the windows. Smell of coffee filled the apartment.Ren was in the kitchen pouring himself a cup. Hair was a mess. Typical Ren.Yuki was at the table. A bowl of cereal was in front of her. She was staring at it like it had personally offended her."I quit my job," she said sternly. She didn't look up at Ren.Ren looked up. "What?"She looked up. "Yep. I quit my job."He blinked. "You quit your job?""Yes.""Just like that?"Yuki shrugged. "It was too freaking demanding. Stressful. Not worth the pay."Ren stared at her. Opened his mouth. Closed it. He looked at his coffee. Then looked back at her."You quit your job," he said again. His jaw dropped."Yes."She picked up her spoon and ate a mouthful of cereal. Chewing slowly.Ren walked to the living room and sat on the couch. He set his coffee on the table. Yuki followed behind. Walking sluggishly."Okay," he said. "Let's talk about it.""Talk about what?" Yuki said."Last night. The police. The dru

The television was on. A reporter was standing outside the police station with a microphone in one hand and a very serious facial expression. Behind her, ambulances and police cars were parked. Officers were walking in and out."Breaking news," she said. "We are live in Tokyo, Japan. Six children who were reported missing earlier on have been found alive. They were rescued from a remote cabin in the forest east of the city. The children are shaken but unharmed. Police are questioning them now, but they say they cannot identify their rescuer."“We will be speaking to one of the children. Let's hear what they have to say about the incident.”. The camera moved to one of the children. A young boy, no older than ten, sitting on the back of an ambulance. A blanket was wrapped around his shoulders. His face was pale. His voice was low."We were so scared," he said. "They tied us up. They hurt us. Then this man came. He told us to run. He had his face covered. I could not see him."The repor

The forest was thick. Their branches blocked out the sky. The only light came from the moon, thin and pale through the leaves.Hiroshi walked slowly. His feet were quiet on the dead leaves. His eyes were actively scanning and his ears were listening to pick even the faintest sound.The System's blue light flickered in his vision.LitRPG:[Children's Location: 200 meters ahead. Old hunting cabin. Hostiles: 2 armed men.]Hiroshi nodded and stopped waking. He pressed his back against a tree to peep what's ahead.He saw a small cabin made of old wooden walls. The roof was rusted. A single light glowed from the window. Yellow but dim.He could hear their voices before he even saw them.First was a man's voice loud and angry tone "I said move faster! We do not have all night!"He could hear children's voices crying loudly.Another voice. This one sounded calm and younger."They are just kids. They cannot move fast.""I do not care! Move them! Now!"Hiroshi moved closer. He crouched behind

Mr. Endo spoke again. His voice was tired. "What do you want us to do?"Kazuo walked back to his chair. He put his hands on the back of it."Go home," he said. "Make your calls. Reassure your investors. Tell them this is a conspiracy. Tell them we have the situation under control.""And if they do not believe me?" Mrs. Fujiwara said."Then they can leave," Kazuo said. "And they can lose their money. And they can watch us rebuild without them."Mrs. Yamamoto stood up. Her chair scraped against the floor. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Kazuo."And if we leave?" she said.Kazuo smiled. It was not a nice smile."Then you will regret it," he said.Mrs. Yamamoto stared at him for a moment. Then she sat back down.The meeting continued. People argued. Kazuo listened. He did not raise his voice nor did he lose his temper.But his hands, which were hidden behind his back, were curled into strong fists.Back at the apartment, Hiroshi was sitting on the couch.He had his feet up on the coffee tabl
