"Is this all the information you can find?" Jin asked.
 
"Yes, boss." Bern replied. "Do you perhaps need me to find more about it?"
 
"No, it's alright. This is enough."
 
Standing up, Jin gives more instruction to his subordinates before he leaves his office. Earlier, he received a fussy call from Vincent informing him that today is Himari's birthday. He even dared to chastise him for forgetting it.
 
To be fair, Himari said nothing about it. Jin has a good reason to be unaware of it, as they never had a formal dating relationship. Surprisingly, he was not even bothered by the woman regarding her birthday. 
When Jin arrives at the hotel, he immediately goes straight to the elevator when he notices a familiar face. It was the same man who had purchased Himari's item in their previous auction. Jin simply gives him a glance before deciding to ignore him until the elevator arrives and they both enter it.
However, the silence inside the elevator was broken when the man's phone rang. Jin moves slightly to put more space between himself and the man. Before answering the phone, the man in the gray suit checked his phone screen.
"Did you manage to find her?" Jin overheard the man asking.
Jin then noticed the man frowning when he heard the reply.
"How difficult is it to find a woman in this city? That woman is clearly from high society if she can easily bid billions of dollars in an auction."
Jin was intrigued by that statement. Even though he does not move or turn his head to look at the man, the gears in his head begin to turn again. He is looking for a woman, right? Who has the ability to bid billions of dollars at auction? Jin can only think about one person after hearing that.
Himari Fujimoto.
The man quickly ends the call after telling the person on the other end that he needs to find her no matter what. Nonetheless, Jin did not do or say anything. He simply treats the other man as if he were air. Fortunately, the man did the same until they reached the twentieth floor, where he stepped out of the elevator with firm steps. Jin sighed in frustration as the elevator closed again.
"That woman is the epitome of trouble." Jin said to himself.
Her enemies are not the only ones looking for her. Jin believes that if no one stops her from causing trouble everywhere, that woman will undoubtedly make a large number of enemies who are after her life. She has the ability to irritate someone, regardless of their patience level. Jin is not sure if he should consider it a talent or not.
When Jin finally arrives in the penthouse, he opens the door to find the crackhead duo occupied on the table. Jin is taken aback when he notices hundreds of pale pink balloons hanging from the ceiling with ribbons attached. They did not leave any area untouched. The walls, as well as the ceiling, are covered in balloons and ribbons.
"What the fuck happened in this place?" Jin inquired.
When Vincent and Dice heard his voice, their eyes widened with delight.
"Jin, you are finally here!"
"Good to see you here, Jin!"
"What happened in this place?" Jin asked and ignored their greetings to him.
"This is a surprise party for Himari." Dice answered as if the answer is very obvious.
"And you packed this place with fucking balloons? Is Himari a child who will appreciate these things?" Jin asked him again. "Who came up with this idea?"
"Me!" Vincent proudly said. "This is actually a good idea, Jin! Each balloon has a gift ideal for a pretty girl like Himari!"
"Gift?"
Upon his mention, Jin observed that he can make out a fuzzy outline on every balloon. While some things are small, others are big. Nevertheless, Jin's scowl remained intact.
"Rather than filling this room with balloons, you could simply give those gifts like any other person. This is not a fucking kiddie party!"
"Aww. Where is the thrill on that?" 
"You are so boring, Jin—Ah!"
"What are you—Ouch!"
Jin has not forgotten what he intends to do when he meets Vincent and Dice again. Jin delivered punches to the two. Vincent rubs the spot on his shoulder where Jin's fist landed, while Dice tends to his left arm. 
"The next time you two bother me with your nonsense, my fists will undoubtedly land on your faces."
Vincent and Dice exchanged looks but did not say anything else. For now, a single blow suffices. However, this is insufficient to teach them a lesson about not messing with a mafia boss like Jin. Vincent and Dice are well aware that they will continue to tease their stoic friend indefinitely.
"Eh? What's this? Do I need to arrest the great Jin Takishima for committing child abuse?"
They turn their heads to see Gael enter the room with his usual lazy posture. Jin scowls in disgust as he notices the detective's clothes. His white shirt is crumpled, his khaki pants have small sauce stains on them, and the brown coat hanging from Gael's shoulder is also crumpled. Gael's hair looks like a bird's nest, and they can see the stubble on his chin. Soon after, the detective notices Jin's gaze and rolls his eyes. 
"I know. I know. I look like a fucking mess." Gael said as he walked straight to the couch, kicking the balloons that had scattered everywhere.
"Dude, what happened to you?" Vincent asked and followed Gael.
"It's nothing. I just spent two days searching for a serial rapist in the city." Gael replied before plopping down on the couch.
"So? What happened next?" Dice asked.
"The bastard is too sneaky."
"Woah. Tough luck for you, Gael." Vincent said and slap Gael on his shoulder. "Does it mean you will soon resign from your job?"
"What shitty things are you talking about?" Gael asked Vincent with a glare.
"I mean, you cannot arrest the rapist. So it means your detective skills are now rusty—Ah, shit! Stop hitting me!"
Vincent groans in pain when Gael kick him on his other arm. Jin punched him first. And now Gael kicked him on his arm. He really has the worst luck today.
"I will fucking sue you if I am unable to make my artworks again, Gael." Vincent said this before kicking the couch where Gael is lying down.
"Alright, alright. Stop it now." Dice said, pulling Vincent to sit on his right. He also offers Jin the left space, but he only gets a frown before sitting in the vacant chair in the center. Dice shrugs his shoulders and continues. "We have gathered here to celebrate the birthday of our new manager. So, set aside your fights for now, okay?"
