《VENOM||Bonten》C H A P T E R - 40
Advertisement
Koko and I finally arrived and we were now inside the casino,walking around and greeting whatever acquittances my 'husband' and I know.We were given fake identities,as well as fake lives.Koko,or Inoue Akihino is the owner of a very famous phone brand,making him a billionaire,which that isn't fake at all since he is indeed a billionaire,while I am his wife,a famous clothes designer known around the world by the name of Inoue Akemi.
The same thing applies to Sasha and Ran.The both of them have fake ID's,a fake job and a fake life.Ran is a man in his 30s called Miura Asahi and he works as a bartender for 2 years in a club in Shinjuku to support his family,but he has been sent in this casino because of this event,and Sasha is a girl in her teenage years by the name of Makino Mei who works part time as a waiter to earn money for her studies.
While we were on the plane,Kaku gave me all the informations I needed to know about Maxident.They are known as Osaka's worst criminal organization,doing lots of illegal stuff such as illegal gambling,blackmailing and threatening, stealing,killing,abusing and raping people.Their leader,Jinja Hiroto,has been seen numerous times beating and killing people,but he was never caught.
He is a tall young handsome man,as one would see him.He has blonde long hair held up in a ponytail and yellow eyes.Girls tend to droll over him,but it's obviously not something you are supposed to do.
His men are experienced with guns and he is always surrounded by at least 20 bodyguards,the reason being unknown.He loves gambling,thus why he would definetly be here,since this is the opening of Osaka's biggest casino right now.

"Stick next to me.I don't want you getting hurt."Koko whispered coldly and I chuckled.
"Worried?"I raised an eyebrow at him and he sighed.
"Mikey's orders."He breathed out and I nodded."And also my personal concern."I was a little taken aback,but I kept a straight face.
The great Kokonoi Hajime,the man who has everything he wants and wishes for,is concerned about my safety?Woah...That means that Maxident really is dangerous,huh?
"Oh.Lets play billiard."I said and dragged Koko to the pool table.He just rolled his eyes and followed,his hand on my waist the whole time.
"Oh! Inoue-san!"A middle aged man greeted Koko.I bowed and so did my 'husband' who was actually smiling at him.
"Ikari-sama!Its so nice to see you here!"-Kokonoi.
"Oh,same same...Your wife,perhaps?"Mr Ikari questioned and looked at me.I nodded and he took my hand,kissing the back of my palm."Such a beautiful partner you were able to fall in love with."He complimented and I felt Koko's grip around my waist tighten a little.I just faked a smile.For some reason,it felt uncomfortable.My partner might have noticed that,since he softly and discretely caressed my waist up and down.That did kinda help me calm down more,but not fully.
From what Kaku let me know about Mr Ikari,I know that he is a creep.He was even accused of pedophilia and sexual assault,which doesn't sit right with me.
"Excuse me now,but I should go.Ive got other acquittances to meet."Mr Ikari bowed and so did we,then left.
When he was out of sight,I sighed."What a creep."I mumbled and Koko's hand travelled up my waist and on my shoulders.He caressed them softly.

"You ok?"He questioned and I nodded with a smile.
"Yeah.I would have honestly killed him right then and there if I was alone."He chuckled when I said that.
"That's what you do when you feel uncomfortable?"He asked as we both started playing billiard.
"Sometimes.If I am mad."I widened my eyes."Of course,I developed this habit ever since I got into Bonten,since,trust me,I would never have thought of killing people before that.I was a prosecutor."I cleared and he chuckled.
"That's exactly what Sasha said when we went on a mission together.We were on good terms back then and she just randomly started telling me that she kills or tortures people whenever she is angry and it actually helps her calm down.She did mention that before joining us,she would never have thought of killing someone either."He said and I smiled.
After we got bored of playing billiard,we went back to the main hall where all the gambling and fun was.Ran and Sasha were there too.I saw Sasha going through crowds and tables with a tray in her hands full of drinks.I bet she curses all of those people in her head by the look that she is trying to hide with a fake smile on her face.
And Ran?Well we got to the bar and sat down on a chair and he was the one who offered to take our orders.
"Uhm...Miura-san,right?"I asked and squinted at the name on his badge.
"Right.But you can call me Asahi,Miss..."He trailed off.Did he seriously forgot my name?Jesus this man.
"Inoue."I answered and he smiled charmly.
"Miss Inoue."He repeated.
"Ahem."Koko cleared his throat and I looked at him.
"Oh dear,come on,he is nice."I said and caressed his cheek."You know I would never leave you for any other man in this world,right?"
"You better not."He said and I took my hand from his cheek with a small smile.
"Uhm...What can I get you?"Ran questioned awkwardly.
"Rose wine and cognac,please."I smiled at the pink haired man who I swear I saw blushing after he made eye contact with me.
"Sure thing,Miss Inoue."-Ran.
"Oh please,call me Akemi."
After Ran finished our drinks,we got up and went to gamble,since that's what we are supposed to do here.I dragged Koko straight to the table where poker was being played.
"Oh god,not poker."Koko discretely groaned and winced.
"Why?You lost or something?"I questioned and smiled teasingly.
"Yup."He rolled his eyes.
"I knew it."I mumbled and mentally did a victory dance."Well my dear husband,poker is the most exciting game of all and you can win tons of money if you win.It will be a shame not to play it,especially when we are here,in Osaka's biggest casino.Now let's get the party started."I said and smiled at the man in front of me.
"Well hello,Jinja-san!"
