"Oh? Is he an S-class criminal? Looks like I can make him my pawn.”
Hazama thought about his future plans.
“Is he really an S-class criminal? Why is a good person like him an S-class criminal?”
Naoto was a little confused as to whether the person in front of him was really a criminal. Because according to what Jin Kazama just said, it shouldn't be from the mouth of an S class criminal.
"Looks like their guess is right, Jin Kazama is indeed the key to the problem of the current seeders."
Seeing the events in front of her, Claris Lily slightly sighed that 'they' guess was right.
Jin Kazama then removed his blade ability, and walked towards the three of them.
"It was a great fight Jin."
Claris Lily praised him.
“You beat him, Jin Kazama.”
Hazama clapped his hands while walking towards Jin Kazama with a friendly smile plastered on his face.
“My name is Hazama, nice to meet you.”
Hazama stretched out his hand and smiled.
Unfortunately Jin Kazama ignored Hazama and continued walking past him.
"Oh? Ignoring me?”
Hazama looked back while following the direction of Jin Kazama's gaze.
He saw Jin Kazama approaching towards Naoto
"Your name if I'm not mistaken is Naoto right?"
Jin Kazama unexpectedly spoke to Naoto.
“Ah… yes, my name is Naoto Kegane.”
Naoto was slightly surprised when Jin Kazama was near him, the aura emitted from Jin Kazama's body suppressed him slightly.
"Thank you for your hard work all this time, I'm sure your mother in the sky is proud to have a child like you."
Jin patted Naoto's shoulder.
Hearing that, Naoto's eyes immediately filled with tears. All this time he still felt guilty about the incident, but just a word from Jin Kazama had relieved him.
"Thank you, Jin."
Naoto said in a slightly stuttering tone.
Jin Kazama nodded his head and walked towards a woman he didn't recognize.
“Are you the woman who said she had information about my little brother?”
Jin Kazama then sat cross-legged in front of Claris.
"Yes."
Clarisse nodded her head.
"Can you tell me the information you have?"
Jin Kazama lowered his head while asking for information about his little brother.
“Okay, but I have one condition after you hear this.”
"What is that?"
“You should join our group, because I believe that you will aim to get out of this Tartarus prison after hearing my information.”
Claris held her waist with both hands while lifting her head 90 degrees up.
"Oh? So sure of you. Alright, let me hear it.”
Jin Kazama seriously looked at Claris Lily, Jin looked at Claris seriously so he could guess whether the information was a lie or the truth.
Naoto and Hazama also approached to listen.
“Your little brother, Jin Kazuya is the leader and founder of the eyeless organization.”
"..."
“My brother has become a leader?”
Jin Kazama's pupils dilated in surprise.
"What?!?! The leader of the seeder association organization out there, turned out to be Jin's younger brother?!”
Hazama and Naoto were also shocked after hearing this information.
"Yes, although the general public doesn't know the name of their leader but for important people like the person behind me it's very easy to find out."
Claris Lily nodded her head and gave a little information about herself.
"Hmm?"
“Just a second, what exactly are you guys talking about this eyeless organization?”
Jin Kazama asked with a confused face. He simply couldn't understand why they were so shocked like that.
"It's only natural that you don't know about it Jin, 3 years ago your little brother founded the organization after you were sent to Tartarus prison."
Claris Lily answered the confusion from Jin Kazama.
“My little brother formed such a big organization?!?!”
Jin Kazama gasped after hearing this information.
“Yes, but he wasn't alone when he formed it. That said, there were 6 other leaders along with Jin Kazuya. They are called the 7 deadly sins.”
“7 deadly sins? did my little brother commit a crime too?!”
Jin Kazama asked in shock.
"Yep. He destroyed a country with a death toll of about a million people and the country that was left untouched was the orchid country.”
"That's why it's called the sin of anger."
After hearing that, Jin Kazama's facial expression turned pale.
‘Orchid country? Is it one of the neighboring countries of the sunflower?’
'It's my fault for being blinded by revenge and leaving him to do the same as me.'
Jin Kazama muttered while blaming himself.
After a moment of digesting the information he received, Jin Kazama raised his head.
“Like I said before, I will keep my promise and join your group.” Jin Kazama then patted his thigh and stood up.
"Then what about the fate of the three of them?" Jin Kazama pointed at the fainting Drogoz, Crush and Crist.
"We'll wait for them to come to their senses."
Claris Lily responded with an answer that took her team by surprise.
“Yep, of course we will leave them---, why?!?!”
Hazama who had been nodding suddenly realized that he heard it wrong and asked in a surprised tone towards Claris.
"Of course it's because of the next second layer."
Claris Lily took it seriously.
"Are you crazy? The three of them wanted to kill us, but now we have to make up with them?”
Hazama said in disbelief at what he had just heard.
“Claris, it's true what Hazama said. Not only does that person want to kill us, but what he did earlier I cannot forgive at all.”
Naoto was against what Claris wanted.
"But if we don't cooperate with him during the second layer, then it will be impossible to climb the third layer."
Claris explained a little information about what would happen in the second layer.
"Who are you actually? I feel that all of this is a plan that you have devised.”
"I ask again, are you our enemy or our friend?"
Hazama pointed his finger at Claris in an interrogative tone.
"I am ...."
Claris Lily who wanted to answer the question immediately stopped and didn't continue her words anymore.
“Hazama, there's no need to be like that. It's true that Claris is hiding something from us but aren't you too? That's why I never asked why you came to Tartarus Prison while in front of the Tartarus Gate."
Naoto separated the two of them which seemed to make the conflict heated up.
"Do you really agree with what she said?! Remember Naoto, Drogoz has destroyed something very important to you!"
Hazama said it out loud to remind Naoto.
"I honestly don't want to agree that we should cooperate with them either, but since it's for all of us I'll try to accept it."
Nato sighed. Even though Naoto's heart felt angry towards Drogoz and company, but he could still tolerate it for everyone's purpose.
Seeing that Naoto had accepted reality, Hazama just sighed.
"Alright, if you're fine with that then I'll take it too."
Hazama then walked towards the wall and sat cross-legged, then out of nowhere Hazama pulled out a small mp3 with a can of soda from his brown scarf.
“You should be grateful to have a friend who is so understanding of yourself.”
Suddenly Jin Kazama came to Naoto and said those words.
"Friend?"
Naoto was confused by the meaning of Jin's words.
“Yes, although that person's face looks uncaring and sly. He is actually a good person. He scolded Claris for you.”
"He knew that you were the one who least accepted the plan, so he scolded Claris for knowing your character who always puts other people ahead of your own feelings."
Jin Kazama explained to Naoto who didn't understand what he just said.
"Hey Jin!"
"Just so you know, I can still hear your talk from here."
Hazama shouted loudly to interrupt their conversation.
Jin Kazama and Naoto looked at each other and smiled, then walked over to find a comfortable place to sit.
Then they waited for Drogoz's group to wake up.
1 hour later, Crist and Crush awoke from their stupor.
They looked around and found that Naoto's group had grown by 1 more and they were still waiting here.
'Maybe they want to talk something with boss Drogoz.
The two of them thought the same thing then, walked over to Drogoz's body and sat cross-legged on the ground.
3 hours later Drogoz woke up from his stupor.
