Chapter 139, titled Nothing Like It, closes the Kamihate duel on an unexpectedly tender note and pivots to fresh threats. The sniper hands over his exhibition ticket, while JAA executive Erio Muto is dragged into Uzuki's orbit by a shot put wielding henchman.
Summary
Once Heisuke catches sight of his face, Kamihate spirals into panic and even weighs ending his own life, since he has spent years shut away from everyone. To his own surprise, though, the notion of companionship crosses his mind, and he asks Heisuke to spend time with him. Heisuke declines, already committed to a day out with Sakamoto's crew.
Sakamoto then turns up and flatly tells the sniper he has no interest in stealing his record. That indifference stings Kamihate, yet before he departs he passes the group his pass for the assassin exhibit at the museum.
Attention swings to JAA executive Erio Muto, who is bragging about how easily he can dispose of people. To prove the point he coldly murders one of his own associates, then announces his intent to unseat Asaki as the next JAA chairman. Right then Haruma, a subordinate of Uzuki, sweeps in and knocks out both of Muto's guards with a shot put ball. Cowed by the show of force, Muto agrees without argument to come along and meet Uzuki.
