Three days passed and the black car still hanging around near Tsujihara mansion. In those three days, they feel dumb, waiting for nothing. Every day, one silver car with fully tinted glass went out at 7:30 am and will return at 6:30 pm. On the second day, a middle-aged woman which they believe the housekeeper went out to buy groceries. 

Besides that, nothing happened. The mansion feels so quiet and too calm. 

Those two men reported to Kenji and when Kenji heard it, the result was the same as what his PA previously mentioned. But Kenji still didn't feel satisfied. His instinct told him that there is something going on inside the mansion. But how can his men sneak into the mansion with 24 hours bodyguard and security camera? 

While Kenji is in a daze, Prof. Alan comes into the room. "Sir, our research on the pharma foods is done. The reports for every type of them are completed," he said.

Kenji hums. "Tomorrow, go and meet with people from Hina Corp. Don't forget to invite them to our banquet." Prof. Alan nods and leaves.

The next day, Prof. Alan himself and another representative from Evo Org. come to the Hina Corp. building. He already made an appointment with James Randi so when he arrived, the front desk lady told him to go to the top floor.

"Welcome. Come and have a seat." James Randi invited them. 

Without dilly dally, Prof. Alan directly shows the report for the pharma food. There are more than ten products listed. Some of them are for weight loss, metabolism booster, nutrient replacement food for non-veggies eater and also calory control drink. 

Randi read it one by one, not missing any information. Prof. Alan and his companion anxiously waiting for Randi's opinion. They literally burned the midnight oil just to produce the best pharma food that will sell well in the market. They cannot let their largest investor be disappointed.

Randi closes the file report and puts it on the table. "Alright. I'm satisfied with all of it. So, we have to trouble Evo to prepare all of these for us." Randi shows his business smile.

Prof. Alan and his companion were shocked. They look at each other then turn to look at Randi in disbelief. "You mean... you approved all of them?" 

Randi nods. Evo research group prepared a bit more choices in case some of them might be rejected. But who would guess, Randi approved all of them. 

"Oh my. Thank you so much, Mr. James! We promised we won't let you down." Prof. Alan stands and bows 90 degrees. Randi flickers his fingers asking him to sit down. 

"Okay. This one is just a draft report, right? You can send me the official report later on." 

"I understand, Mr. James. We will send it to you as soon as possible. By the way..." Prof. Alan takes out an invitation card from his blazer pocket and slides it towards James. "We're having a banquet this weekend. Just an appreciation dinner for our staff and business partners. We hope you can come this Saturday." 

Randi reached out for the card and looks at the venue and time. 

8 pm
Main hall, Evo Organization. 

"Sure. I'll be there." 

As soon as the Evo Org's representatives left, Randi takes a picture of the invitation card and send it to his son, Raiden. 
"I'm going to attend this banquet. Any one of you wanna come with me or should I go alone?"

A minute later, he received a reply. 
"Dad, Kevin said that both of us cannot reveal our face as Kenji started to suspect something due to an incident at the mall before, so you should go alone. But not alone! Bring someone with you."

Randi chuckles and replies with an 'OK'. 

Meanwhile, in the office, Raiden looks at his best friend who stays calm despite his mansion being stalked. "Hey, are you sure you don't want to follow my dad to the banquet?" 

Kevin just shakes his head. "No. I can't let myself be exposed. His stupid lackeys were snooping around my house meaning he already tried to find out who I lived with." 

"But how can he be informed so fast? I thought the PR department was already fast enough to take down everything but he still saw those rumors." 

Kevin taps the table. He is thinking the same. "I think, his people personally saw us at the mall and inform him."

"Reasonable. If not, I don't think he would know about Yuki. But if he really knew from the internet, I bet people from the PR department have been fired."

Kevin just scoffs.

..........

On Saturday, Randi with his PA went to the Evo Org. Building to attend the banquet.  They wear casual shirts and blazers as no specific dress code was mentioned. 

As they arrived, Randi showed his invitation card to the receptionist. The male receptionist welcome them with a big smile when he noticed a gold invitation card, which means "investor". But Randi didn't know that.

The banquet feels more like a leisure dinner. No formal event program.  Everyone is chit-chatting informally. There are tables and chairs and there are also bar counters for those who preferred to stand. 

Randi's arrival was notified by the receptionist to Kenji through a communicator. 

''Mr. James! I'm glad you come.'' Kenji walks towards Randi and welcomed him. Kenji brought Randi and his PA to an empty table. 

He waves his hand,  calling over the waiter to serve them drinks.

Meanwhile, Randi looks around and he found out there are quite a few famous people from the ministry government.  To be honest,  Randi didn't expect they dare to come here openly. 

Kenji noticed his gaze and he quickly leans closer. ''If Mr. James wants to be an acquaintance with them, I can introduce you to them. It is quite beneficial you know,  getting to know these politicians.''

Randi's lips twitched but he covered it with a smile. ''No, it's okay. I just feel amused meeting them so close for the first time. Are they... Investors too?''

''Ah yes. You know... Just to double their source of income. Investing in a pharmaceutical company like Evo gives an assurance to them because the medical industry is quite profitable and all over the world need it.''

''Can't agree more.'' They clink their glasses and sips the white wine.

Kenji called over a waiter again and asked him to bring some dishes and desserts for Randi and his PA.

Randi's eyes caught another special thing about the banquet.

The waiters.

All of the waiters are exceptionally... beautiful? or feminine-looking men? Randi doesn't know how to describe it. And the waiters are serving the investors, not the staff.

Mostly will linger around those politicians and as he focused his sight, he can see those dirty hands are creeping behind the waiters' back.

When the waiter brought the food to their table, Randi eyeing him up and down. True, he looks feminine for a man.

Kenji who noticed Randi's gaze, secretly smirks. He fakes a cough. "Why are you looking at waiter like that, Mr. James? Interested?"

Randi stiffly laughs. "No. No. I just noticed that the waiters here are quite pretty. Are the conditions to be the waiter must be pretty or what? Hahaha."

"Hmm... let's just say, we care for customer's satisfaction. Mr. James, please look around. Can't you see how happy our investors are when they are being served by pretty waiters? It naturally boosts their mood."

Randi huffs. "Well, everyone got their own way to uplift their mood. And I can say, this company's way is unique."

"Of course, to be the best we need to be different from others." Kenji clears his throat, "Well, if Mr. James wants to meet up with any waiters, you can just tell me so. We'll provide you with the best waiter that can serve you."

Randi raises his palm, "It's okay. Not for now. I'm so much happy with my marriage. But if any of my men want it, then can I trouble Mr. Hamada to treat them as if you treat me?"

"Sure, sure. No problem. Your friend is my friend too. Just inform me beforehand."

Randi and his PA stay at the banquet for another hour before leaving due to the discomfort. They couldn't bear to watch the immoral acts of those politicians.

It feels like they are in a nightclub. The differences are no disco lights and upbeat music. The staff could care less about what happened. They turned blind eyes even if they saw those politicians are groping the waiters in front of their eyes.

Randi and his PA quickly leave the main hall. They breathe a sigh of relief as soon as they entered the car.

"Wow. I never thought Evo Org. is such... a company. They look like a normal pharmaceutical company but who knows..." Randi's PA said.

The middle-aged man chuckles. "Same goes to me. If not because Kevin told me about them, we will never know."

"Just keep silent about tonight's event from everyone. If what they did tonight was exposed, I'm sure they will target newcomers like us." Randi leans back on the leather seat and loosens his tie.

"Alright. I understand, sir."

The next day, someone send a package to Tsujihara mansion. Kevin took the package and immediately went into his home office. 

He inserted the tiny SD card into the card reader then he inserted it into the laptop.  There is only one video file inside the laptop with a duration of one and a half hours. Kevin can't help but clench his fist as he watched the video.

It was the video taken at the banquet. Randi sent it to him. Randi thought it will be easier to record the whole situation and let Kevin judge it himself. So, he puts on a tiny camera in his pocket but it looks like a normal badge.

Therefore, not even Kenji would be suspected he actually filmed the whole banquet.

Suddenly, Kevin thought...

'So, if Yuki was not saved by me, he has to be a waiter and serve those bastards too?'

'All these years, is this what he has to bear?'

'I'm gonna find every single person who had touched him and cut off their hands!'

Kevin was lost in his thought. He didn't notice his little lover is approaching him.

"...vin? Kevin?"

Kevin flinched. The dark aura around him was instantly gone when he saw the beautiful smiling face beside him. He pulls Yuki onto his lap.

"What's wrong? What are you watching until it distracted you like this?" Yuki caressing his lover's cheek. His face is full of worries.

Kevin takes the hand and brings it to his lip. "Nothing. Just something..."

Yuki didn't buy it. How can it be nothing when Kevin's face shows otherwise. He keeps staring at Kevin with an expression 'you better tell me everything now!'.

The henpecked lover can only lower his head, admitting defeat. Kevin plays the video file again and asks Yuki to watch it.

Yuki trembles in his arms and unconsciously clenches his shirt. Kevin hugs him tighter and right after the video is finished, he pulls Yuki's head,  letting him leans on his chest.

''Are you okay, baby?''

Yuki nods. Kevin waits until Yuki no longer trembles before he asks a question.

"Baby, before this, did you also have to... do that kind of work?"

Yuki shakes his head. He muffles on Kevin's chest, "I was considered as 'Special Specimen' meaning I was considered exclusive according to my uncle. So, I was never allowed to show myself publicly like that."

Kevin heaves a sigh of relief. Well at least, he was not being displayed like an escort boy or host.

Yuki lifts his head. With his watery eyes, he stares at his lover. "H- How... did you get this video? Isn't the banquet is being held secretly?"

Tempted by the cute face, Kevin lowers his face and pecks on Yuki's forehead. "The truth is, Raiden's father, uncle Randi gave this to me. He became one of Evo's investors following my order. As he is one of the investors, so he was invited to the banquet."

Yuki frowns. "Why would you ask Uncle Randi to be their investor? Don't you know that money will be used to do all th- those inhumane experiments?"

Kevin can see Yuki is disappointed. Even his voice is trembling. He gently pats his back. "Calm down, baby. I know that but I need the information to properly bring him down. So, I need to infiltrate inside his company. As you said, only investors will be invited to the banquet. So, if we didn't become an investor how could we expose all dark sides of Evo Org.?"

Yuki lowers his head. Slowly he lays back on his lover's broad chest. "Sorry...I raised my voice at you."

Kevin's corner lips curved upwards. "I know you're worried about the other victims right? But rest assured. One day, we will save them. Just trust me, okay?"

Yuki wraps his arms around Kevin's neck and hums.
