He died quickly, after only 22 years of life. The doctors said he died of massive organ failures across the whole body, with enough unidentified chemicals in his blood to kill an elephant. The family refused an autopsy, and had the body flown out to Japan less than 3 hours after the papers were filed.

If I find, Hideoshi, that something you gave him was responsible for this young brother's death, your time as The Ashikaga nears it's end.

If I find someone else was responsible, I will seek a redress of this offence to my honor, my dojo, my art, regardless of the distance or time required.


(Perhaps you shouldn't have been "out of the office" and "unavailable" over the last week while I tried to ask privately, next time kohei, return an old man's calls)

This sounds disturbingly familiar.

What is up with Razor or Bearshaman? Last I heard they are with Hideoshi. I hope they are not there to get the same treatment.... assuming Hideoshi is responsible, but such a business man, raises suspicions.

I will let you take lead on this.

My plate is full.

Thank you both for your help. I will be focusing more attention on this matter as soon as something more important is dealt with.

Sure thing, Shang.

Razor seems to be fine, now we just have Bearshamen to worry about? I do however think that Ashikaga may not be responsable for whatever may be going on with Berashamen.

Hope so. Bearshaman really needs to check in soon.
