I am the Entertainment Tycoon

The next day, at the International Airport of Elffire City.

Three men could be seen exiting the domestic gate.

They were Peter Green, George Takeda, and John Smith.

Peter was Editor Manager of the Fury Jump Co.

This company was going through tough times and they came to Elffire City looking for the salvation of their company.

"George, John. I want you both doing an intense search about the Fuji Jump. I want to know everything." Peter ordered his employees.

"Yes, boss" they replied.

George was part of the editor team and John was just an intern, they didn't like their boss. But they had to obey him, nonetheless.

They exited the airport and headed towards a hotel.

But there wasn't just the Fury Jump that arrived at Elffire City wanting to steal the mangaka of [Naruto] or even buying the Fuji Company.

Three more publishing houses, from Sakura City, arrived in Elffire City that day.

All of them wanted the easy win that was to entice a mangaka from a small publishing house.

For the next 2 days, the four companies searched for all available information about the Fuji Jump.

They searched for the company's past and found many things.

For example, they found that the Fuji Jump was founded by Haruno Shigekazu 20 years ago. For the first years, the company only operated at Elffire City, but after some years the company started operating in the whole Bluecorn State. Becoming somewhat famous in the region.

But some years ago, the founder died of old age. He left the company for his adopted daughter, Haruno Sayuri.

She could not handle the pressure of the other publishing houses of Bluecorn State. And the company suffered several losses of money and authors. Resulting in the almost closure of the company.

It was at this point of their search, that they started having less information.

They discovered that the Fuji Jump received an offer of 150k dollars, but they didn't even reply to the offer.

When everything indicated that Haruno Sayuri would declare bankruptcy, a mysterious person bought the company.

They did not even discover the amount of money and how many shares were involved in the transaction.

From this point forward, they could only discover information that was already disclosed to the public.

They even tried contacting some employees of the company, but all of them denied saying anything.

All the Fuji's employees were hardcore loyal to Sayuri and Theo, they wouldn't betray the company.

They only discovered that after the new owner arrived, the company became something completely different.

It seemed that the owner had a great management talent, and with the addition of a good manga to publish. The company was becoming bigger than ever.

After discovering all of that, the four publishing houses gave up buying the Fuji Jump.

They did not think a talented and good owner would sell his/her company.

Now they could only go for the author of the Naruto Manga, they were still confident about enticing the mangaka.

But after focusing on searching for the mangaka, they did not find anything again!

They were starting to lose their calmness.

They started offering money and bribes to some employees.

Only 2 people accepted the bribe but even then, they could not find anything.

pᴀɴdᴀ They only found a lead that the author was on the Fuji's building and if they went there. They might find the mangaka.

Thursday, October 15th.

Four groups of men could be seen at the front of the Fuji Jump's building.

"George, Josh. You two must pay attention when we enter. if you guys see someone that might be the mangaka, go to the person and ask for her/his contact information." Peter Green said.

"Yes, boss." they said.

Instructions like that could be seen in the other group of people.

They were avid to find the mangaka.

Peter and the other two entered the building and went towards the greeter counter.

"Hi, I have a meeting with a manager? My name is Peter Green." he said.

When the greeter heard that, he looked at them with a strange look, but afterward he smiled and said as if nothing happened.

"Yes, sir, you can go to the second floor. They will guide you towards the conference room." the greeter smiled.

Peter, George, and Josh thought the greeter was weird, but they did not think much of it and went ahead.

As they entered the conference room, they saw three groups of people that seemed seated far from each other.

"Are you the manager?" one of the men asked Peter.

"No, are you the manager?" Peter asked the man with a confused look.

"No"

All the people in the room were trying to figure out what was going on when two people entered the room.

One of them was a girl, a woman, that seemed like she was 13yo.

And other was a man with silver-ash hair and silver eyes.

The girl stopped at the head of the table and said with a confident tone.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen, my name is Haruno Sayuri. I am the Head Director of the Fuji Jump Company. By sheer coincidence, all of you scheduled appointments with me today. As I am a busy person, I figured we all have the meeting at the same time." Sayuri said with a gentle smile.

When they all heard that, they started figuring out who were the other groups and what was happening.

"Now, why don't you introduce yourselves?" Sayuri continued.

Having no other option, they started introducing themselves and who they were representing.

"Good afternoon, Miss Haruno, I am Peter Green and I come from the Fury Jump Company. And these are my two employees George and Josh." Peter said lastly after all the other groups introduced themselves.

"Well, it is nice to meet guests all they from the capital." Sayuri said with a gentle smile.

A gentle smile that exuded danger.

They could feel that this woman was not easy to fool.

"So, how about you all estate what business you all have with our humble company." she asked.

"Miss Haruno, we would like to offer to buy the company. We brought the proposal for you to look at." a man said as he passes a document to her.

After the man said that all other groups said the same thing.

Even if they were certain that they could not buy the company, they had to find an excuse to meet a director of the company. And all of them thought that a buying proposal was a good idea.

They hoped that after they received a denial, they could force the company to divulge the information about the mangaka.

Sayuri did not even look at the proposals.

"My apologies, we have no intention of selling the company." Sayuri smiled again, but this time the smile was even more dangerous.

All of them were surprised that she would refuse so bluntly.

But they didn't care anyway, it was time to discover the author's identity.

"Miss Haruno, we understand that you want to remain ahead of the company. I read your last release and it is magnificent work, I would love to meet the genius who wrote that. And some advice, it is more prudent to observe the market and see that there are companies with more influence." Peter said with a venomous tongue, he did not even disguise the threat towards the Fuji Company.

He was basically saying that if she did not tell who the mangaka was, they would try to sink the Fuji Company.

All the other groups said the same thing, but Sayuri did not say anything.

She only waited for them to finish talking (threatening) with a little smile on her face.

When the last person stopped talking, she said something that made all of them freeze in horror.

"Oh, so you all are finally showing your true faces. I suppose you guys truly trusted the 'bribed employees' of our company" Sayuri with a smile that was not gentle anymore, it was a freakishly dangerous smile of a sneer.
