CHAPTER 1: Lies

In an underground prison you can see three people most likely 19 through 24, their names are James, Sara, and Jack. You're probably wondering why this is important right? Well it is, because what the Taxkage didn't tell anyone was that if you didn't pay your taxes in at least a week after due, even if you can't afford it, you get thrown into solitary.

James with his sensor abilities detected the attacker and rushed at a speed that matched a TAX COLLECTOR. James got smacked in the face and was flying to the ground at high force but before he crashed he noticed the hooded man's face and was shocked. It was the Trios old sensei: Tsuki
