The Youngest Son of a Japanese Conglomerate. 143

Chapter 143 – Episode 18 Nagumo Xian’s Request

The two hustled for a while and then sat down as if nothing had happened. Who would see that they seem like very close friends? As if we were still exploring, we started to ask each other questions. To me, it looked like a jab that boxers use to test each other’s skills.

“Mimata-san, why do you call Ryuta your junior?”
“I was a senior at the Human Resources Development Center. I guess that has solidified. “Aris, you seem very close to your cousin, Ryuta, don’t you think?”
“Being really close is legal, whether in Japan or New York.”
Hehe…”
“Uhuhuhu…”
“Come on, let’s stop talking and finish the work.”

It took too long to watch, so I stopped the fight between the two. First of all, I have to solve the problem I came here for. I couldn’t keep Nagumoshian, who was much older than me, waiting. I first asked Chieri Mimata to understand the situation.

“First of all, have you found out why Nagumo Xian wants to hire East Weapon?”
“I think it’s probably because of Kurotsuki-do. “Recently, there have been a lot of rumors that Kurotsuki Doo is concentrating his troops on Akita.”

Hmm, what’s going on in Akita Prefecture that’s causing the Black Moon Party to gather troops? Still, since this is the work of the subsidiary, Tyra Foods, shouldn’t we borrow the power of the Tyra main family? Even though Kurotsuki Doo was a huge Chinese group and one of the world’s largest criminal organizations, Akita was the front yard of the Taira Group and could not be pushed aside. The Taira Group itself was not behind the Heiyu Group (the name that groups the Black Moon Party around the world), so it would have been shameful for them to lose here.

“Can’t we just borrow the power of the main family? “Normally I would do that.”
“They say they can’t withdraw troops because there’s something going on with Minamoto recently. That’s probably why the request came to us.”

If this were to happen, Minamoto and the Black Moon Party might have joined forces. If this prediction is true, Minamoto brought in foreign powers to attack his domestic rivals… If this incident became known later, public opinion toward Minamoto could have deteriorated. Black Moon Party Did I overthink it too much? If not…

“Are East Weapon’s standby troops sufficient?”
“Yes, it’s only been a few days since I took office, so there haven’t been any new requests yet, so everyone except the staff with existing duties was on standby.”

“Then I guess I’ll decide to be positive and call Nagumo Sian.”

Nagumo Xian was one of the few friendly forces within the Taira family that agreed to support me as a third if I received the support of two affiliates, so I couldn’t let it fall apart like this. I immediately picked up my smartphone and called Nagumo Sian.

“Eldest sister.”

-Oh, just call me Daemonim like other people call you.

As expected, it was Nagumo Xian who really liked being called ‘eldest sister’. Even though I was told to call her Godmother, the joy was evident in her voice itself. When we get closer later, should I just call you sister?

“It’s a phone call, okay? Who can say anything when there is no one else listening? “

-Hehe, I like that kind of boldness. So what did East Weapon decide to do?

“Of course we have to help. “You just need to cover the labor costs.”

-As expected, I saw one person well. I mean, I don’t have to worry for even a second.

Nagumo Sian was pleased to hear that I would of course help him. I didn’t know I’d like it this much… What happened? First of all, before thinking about that, Seryu Military Company should also do some business.

“And may I recommend another PMC? Unlike East Weapon, this is a small, elite unit…”

-I was also looking for an elite unit, so it turned out well. What is the name of the company?

In fact, it was difficult to deal with Kurotsuki with East Weapon, which only had the advantage of quantity. I gave Seryu Military Company some work and even told him about my great accomplishments of receiving a request from the Taira Group, and since Nagumo Cyan was looking for an elite unit, it felt like everything was going well.

“This is Seryu Military Company. “It’s a small but good PMC.”

-If that’s you, I’ll make a contract with that side as well.

“Then, the contract will be concluded today at the working level, and once the contract is completed, I will go to Akita immediately, eldest sister.”

-Ho-ho-ho! Still, when in public, call me Daemonim.

“Yes. Before I hang up, let me ask you one question. “Did your uncle or aunt visit?”

Nagumo Xian was silent for a moment in response to my question. Perhaps my question was correct.

–… That’s great.
The call ended with Nagumo Xian’s words, which were filled with many meanings.

###

A few hours ago, the Akita Prefecture Taira Foods President’s Office.

“Aunt, I heard that you’ve been having a hard time recently because of Kurotsuki.”

A man was standing in front of Nagumo Xian, who was sitting in the president’s seat. Although he was short, he was a man with a great presence.

The man had slicked-back hair, nervous eyes, and snake-like eyes that were covered with highly reflective rimless glasses. And his thin body, which made him feel a bit small, was wearing a high-quality suit.

The man was the first son of Taira Danzo and the man who occupied the position closest to the throne of the great empire called Taira.

Taira Ichiro (平一郎), it was a too rough name for the first son of Japan’s largest Taira family, but Taira Ichiro liked his name. The eldest son of the Taira family, there were no words to describe himself so well.

Nagumo Xian looked at Taira Ichiro for a moment and then opened his mouth. Ichiro Nagumo had known Ichiro Nagumo since he was a child, but he was not a very affectionate child.

It was because of her cold, cold-blooded animal-like eyes and the inhumane behavior she showed growing up that did not suit Nagumo Xian, who was called godmother and respected throughout Akita. Among Taira Danzo’s children, Nagumo Shian’s favorite child was Taira Saburo, so he felt even more uneasy when compared to Taira Saburo.

“It’s not that difficult. “I was just pushed back for a moment.”
“As long as you carry the name Tyra, you cannot be pushed down even for a moment. “Aunt.”

As long as you carry the name Tyra, you cannot be pushed around… Nagumo Cian slowly realized Taira Ichiro’s intentions. Nagumo Cian realized that Taira Ichiro wanted to get involved in this.

“So are you here to give me advice on what to do at Tyra Foods?”
“How dare I advise you? Only…”
“Only?”
“I came here to offer a little help.”

It’s a little help… Obviously, with Taira Ichiro’s help, Kurotsuki’s problem will be easily resolved. But the question was what Ichiro Taira would receive in return for that help.

“It’s a little help… “First of all, before asking for that help, I’d like to hear the price?”
“It may be a small help to me, but it may be a big help to my aunt. You can only ask for one of two favors in return. First, I don’t know when, but please unconditionally support me when electing the next president, and second, please give me the land for the 8th factory, which is currently scheduled for construction. How is it? “You just have to listen to one of two things.”

At that moment, Nagumo Xian realized that the site of Taira Foods Factory 8 was Taira Ichiro’s target. Anyone would think that the goal was to support the election of the next president, but as Taira Danzo corrected, the election of the next president was very far away.

Since the site for Factory 8 had only been purchased where no construction had even begun, anyone would have chosen to give the site for Factory 8 rather than support the election of the next president, who would have political burdens.

This was because if the fight with Kurotsuki Doo were prolonged, PMC’s employment costs would become much more expensive than the land price of the 8 factory site. Because the site of the 8th factory itself was located in a remote location, land prices were not that expensive, which also played a role.

“You don’t have to decide right now, do you? “I want to think about it a bit.”
“Of course. Instead, while my aunt is worrying, the damage to Tyra Foods will only increase. “I can’t interrupt your worries, so let’s go.”

Taira Ichiro bowed politely and walked out of his president’s office. Nagumo Shian ordered his secretary to investigate the site of Factory 8.

“Was this the reason why the Chairman introduced Ryuta’s PMC?”

From a political perspective, Taira Danzo’s biggest enemy was Taira Ichiro and his two successors. This is because Taira Ichiro had to increase his power to solidify his succession structure, and increasing that power was a burden on Taira Danzo.

Nagumo Xian had his secretary investigate the site of Factory 8, and soon after, the name Taira Ryuta popped up and the phone started ringing.

“Good timing too.”

Nagumo Xian smiled when he saw Taira Ryuta’s name pop up on his smartphone.

“I’m sure your aunt thinks that the site of Factory 8 is my goal, right?”

Taira Ichiro opened his mouth in the car on the way to the airport. Chuhei Kurinami (栗波中丙), the driver and secretary, glanced at Ichiro Taira as the room mirror and nodded his head.

“I’m sure you will think so, because we made you think so.”
“If we check the site of Factory 8 and fight Kurotsuki, there won’t be any personnel who can detect our actions, right?”
“But that’s a waste of ‘that thing’ on the site of Factory 8.”

Ichiro Taira smiled at Chuhei Kurinami’s words. He was definitely smiling, but it gave off something eerie to others.

“To get one, you have to give one.”
“Still, if you become chairman, what the Taira Group has will be what you own:
“Yes.”

Ichiro Taira said yes and looked out his window. Outside the window, the Taira Foods factory area was visible in the distance.

“Yes, those are all mine too.”

Ichiro Taira muttered softly as he looked at the scene outside his window.
