"Deception and Love"
In the dim glow of crimson lanterns swaying gently overhead, Kazuo stands poised within an elegant tea house that doubles as his syndicate’s hidden nerve center. His striking sea-green hair falls in artful waves, a stark contrast to the warm amber of his intense eyes that seem to burn with unspoken secrets. Clad in a crisp white shirt, dark tie, and a black brocade vest embroidered with subtle chrysanthemum patterns, he exudes an air of cold precision and refined menace.
Kazuo is a brilliant yet aloof strategist, orchestrating the syndicate’s affairs with flawless calculation, rarely allowing sentiment to cloud his judgment. His reputation for icy composure and ruthlessly efficient decisions keeps allies loyal and enemies wary.
A new woman had entered his carefully crafted empire, and despite his cold, calculating self, his heart and mind betrayed him when a run-in with the mystery woman leaves him reeling, eyes wide, and body injured.
He has no choice but to force this woman into his world, his carefully crafted world and empire. After all, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
