Persona, I am the villain and I can do whatever I want

It can be seen how terrible it is to have no ambition...

Looking back, when Kotetsu returned from military service, he was supposed to join his father's personal guard. However, it was his mother who intervened forcefully and transferred Kotetsu to his side as the captain of the bodyguard.

At that time, he was still naive and didn't understand why his family members were arguing with each other. But now, he understands that all this was to dig out people from his father and pave the way for him.

When he comes of age, according to the tradition of the Mitsui family, he will be able to legitimately recruit Kotetsu, the most outstanding young generation of the Fujiwara family, under his command.

A large family is like a towering tree, growing more and more branches as it ages, while a small family that has been passed down from generation to generation is like dodder entangled in a tree, constantly splitting into smaller families.

There is an old proverb in the West: "My vassal's vassal is not my vassal."

The situation in Japan is the same. He now wants to separate Kotetsu's branch from the Fujiwara clan that is loyal to his father.

Thinking of this, Mitsui Tsubasa's expression became serious: "Before we discuss the next plan, I need to ask you a question. Have you investigated the subway derailment incident last week?"

Kotetsu seemed a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and looked at Mitsui Tsubasa with a puzzled look: "The head of the family has sent people to investigate the accident. At present, it seems to be just an accident."

"What about the driver and the injured passengers? Is there anything unusual about them?" Mitsui Tsubasa asked urgently.

He had to figure out whether the incident was an attack against him or he was simply affected.

Kotetsu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The injured passengers don't seem to be seriously injured, most of them have some superficial injuries. But the driver, the doctor diagnosed him as mentally ill, he may have some underlying mental illness."

"It's just..." Kotetsu paused, as if considering whether to express his guess.

"Go on, do you think it was an accident or someone did it on purpose?" Mitsui Tsubasa stared at Kotetsu, waiting for his answer.

Hu Che's eyes flickered, and after a long silence, he slowly said in a deep tone: "Young Master, I suspect that someone did it deliberately."

“I was on that train at that time…”

Mitsui Tsubasa's eyes widened instantly.

Indeed, although there is no longer a need for a vehicle to pick him up, as his personal bodyguard, Kotetsu should always be by his side except in this room and school.

So, what was Kotetsu doing during the 'ten minutes' when he lost consciousness...

Mitsui Yi swallowed subconsciously and felt his mouth numb: "Keep talking!"

"According to your request, I did not get too close to you, but entered the next subway car behind. When the derailment occurred, I was not injured, and I immediately opened the door and rushed to your location."

"At that time, I found that you seemed to be fine and were talking to an old man in a convenience store uniform, so I did not go up to disturb you. Afterwards, when my men asked the old man about the situation, he said that you had been in a coma for a short time. At that time, I realized that something was wrong."

At this point, Kotetsu's breathing gradually became heavy, his eyes fixed firmly on his wrist: "I have been thinking, in those ten minutes, what exactly was I...doing..."

Cognitive learning!

Mitsui Tsubasa screamed in his heart!

There is no mistake, this is definitely aimed at him, there really is a mastermind behind the scenes who is attacking him in secret!

"Have you told your father about this?" asked Mitsui Tsubasa, his voice heavy.

"Not yet..." Kotetsu replied dryly, sounding very uneasy, "I don't know how to explain it, and I'm not sure if what the old man said is true. I can't even think of anyone who can do this."

Father hasn't intervened yet?

A gleam of light flashed in Mitsui Tsubasa's eyes. This might be good news...

The power of the personality mask is simply unsolvable for ordinary people. Before he becomes stronger, he doesn't want to drag his father into it.

He pondered for a moment: "What did you do after that?"

"I tried to retrieve the surveillance video inside the subway, but found that the data had been destroyed. Therefore, I can only report this incident to the owner as a normal accident. At the same time, I also transferred two teams from Kanagawa to strengthen your security.

There was a hint of guilt in Kotetsu's expression, as if he regretted not reporting his guess.

However, Mitsui Tsubasa didn't mind his concealment.

This kind of bizarre incident sounds like an urban legend. Not only do the listeners not believe it, but even the person telling it finds it hard to convince himself.

After confirming his initial guess, Mitsui Tsubasa was not relieved at all. The situation became even more confusing. Who was it that attacked him and for what purpose?

And the other party did not try again after failing.

Looking back now, I really exposed myself to danger by taking the subway to school for the next two days, but fortunately nothing unexpected happened.

We must speed up the plan.

Private Shujin Academy and Huiye Building, first ensure the safety of the people in these two places, and then let Kotetsu be responsible for picking you up. Simplify your life trajectory and minimize contact with strangers.

Before the mastermind strikes again, the power of the personality mask must be increased.

Next time, I will fight him in the impression space!

With determination in his heart, Mitsui Tsubasa could no longer pretend to be gentle on the surface. He ordered without question: "Kotetsu, don't tell father about our conversation just now!"

"But..." Kotetsu obviously hesitated.

If this was just his personal guess, he might be able to keep it deep in his heart. But now even the young master has sensed something unusual, and if he continues to hide it from the master, it would seem that he, as a retainer, has not fulfilled his duties.

Seriously, this could even be considered infidelity.

"Kotetsu!" Mitsui Tsubasa suddenly propped up the table and growled at him condescendingly, "Tell me, what is your duty?"

Kotetsu's pupils shrank, and he paused for a few seconds before speaking with difficulty: "I am responsible for protecting the safety of Master Mitsui Tsubasa."

"Very good." Mitsui Yi continued to stare at him, "Then answer me, if that happens again, can you protect me?"

"I..." Kotetsu was completely frozen. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He lowered his head in guilt, "...I can't."

"Then you will obey my orders!"

Mitsui Tsubasa said in a decisive tone.

He stood up and slowly walked to the French window. Through the window, the bustling streets of Tokyo were in full view, but he could not suppress the anger in his heart.

After a long silence, he spoke in a deep tone: "Telling this to father will only put him in danger. I have come up with a plan to deal with it. Now all you need to do is obey my instructions."

"But before that, I have to confirm one thing."

Mitsui Tsubasa turned around and did not sit down again, but stood directly next to Kotetsu.

Before Kotetsu was about to stand up, Mitsui Tsubasa stretched out a hand and pressed it firmly on his shoulder: "Kotetsu, tell me, if my father's orders conflict with my orders, who will you choose to obey?"

Feeling the heavy force on his shoulders, Kotetsu fell into deep thought.

This is not only an inquiry, but also a choice of stance.

Kotetsu knew that this was a moment to decide where his loyalties lay.

Should I stand on the side of the young master, or be loyal to the head of the family...

Chapter 21: Nobody? Or famous?

Kotetsu sat quietly on the sofa, his expression solemn. His tower-like body was tense, his muscles sharp and angular, exuding a terrifying aura.

Mitsui Tsubasa looked at him in silence for a long time and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It was a predictable situation, he was still too young. If he was given another two years, when he was an adult, Kotetsu would not be so hesitant.

According to the tradition of the Mitsui family, when the children of the main family reach adulthood, the family will give them starting capital and some small businesses for practice. The elders in the family will also allocate some manpower to help the younger generation.

At that time, there is no need to say more. The hereditary retainers will leave on their own and entrust the young descendants to the new "master", playing the risk diversification game of the aristocratic families.

In this way, no matter how the situation changes in the future, these small families can continue to exist.

But if the lord is a minor, that is another matter.

It seems that we need to add more chips.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Mitsui Tsubasa said calmly: "To build up my power, I plan to start from two aspects. One is the medical industry, starting with the most basic drug research and development, and gradually getting involved in the entire industry chain, but this has little to do with you."

"The second is security companies. You must be familiar with this aspect. Companies like Japan Security Group, Tokyo Security Company, and Seven Bridges Bodyguard Company. My plan is to create a new company based on their business model, but the scale... will be larger than all of them combined!"

Mitsui Tsubasa waved his hand passionately and made a fist gesture in front of Kotetsu: "I know this sounds a bit unrealistic, but dreams are just dreams if you don't work hard to pursue them. Starting from here, from a small company with dozens of people, I hope that one day my security company - no, our security company can be all over Japan!"

"I have been looking for a suitable leader. This requires a top elite who is capable, courageous, and can do what others cannot." Mitsui Tsubasa paused, stared at Kotetsu with a sharp gaze, and asked softly in an almost bewitching tone, "I'm thinking... will that person be you?"

"Fujiwara Kotetsu!"

As the name was roared out, Mitsui Tsubasa observed with satisfaction the change in Kotetsu's eyes.

All the hesitation, resistance, and complex, difficult-to-parse emotions collapsed with this roar, and were replaced by something called ambition.

"Young Master..." Kotetsu's voice was a little hoarse. He almost agreed, but the remaining rationality in his mind was still struggling, "We have neither funds nor manpower."

"We, well said." Mitsui Tsubasa nodded in agreement with his choice of words. "Leave the funding issue to me. The new company will be established in two months at most. As for the manpower issue, you miss your comrades very much, right? Give them priority. When the time comes, I will offer them a sincere salary."

"I know you still have doubts now, and you must be wondering if I am talking nonsense. It doesn't matter, I understand. I will give you a month to think about it, and soon you will see the changes with your own eyes."

"And I only have one request of you. Be loyal to me..." He suddenly exerted force on Kotetsu's right hand on his shoulder, his fingers almost sinking into the muscles, and his tone became more firm and powerful, "Only be loyal to me!"

After saying this, Mitsui Tsubasa let go of his shoulders and slowly walked to the sofa opposite and sat down.

"Think about it carefully." He waved his hand, and his meaning of sending him away was self-evident.

Kotetsu was silent for a moment, still immersed in the conversation. He slowly stood up, bowed deeply to Mitsui Tsubasa, and turned to walk towards the door.

Looking at Kotetsu's gradually receding back, Mitsui Tsubasa suddenly had an idea and thought of a sentence that was very suitable for this scene.

He adjusted his sitting posture slightly, adopting an unfathomable attitude.

He spoke in a deep tone: "Kotetsu."

Hearing his name, Kotetsu turned around with a hint of confusion on his face.

However, the scene before him shocked him.

The afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the curtains and cast a golden glow on Mitsui Tsubasa's body. He sat there, surrounded by the dazzling light, and his deep facial features looked even more heroic in the light and shadow.

"Nobody? Or famous?"

……

Kotetsu left.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Mitsui Tsubasa couldn't help but smile smugly.

It's done!

He could feel that Kotetsu's defenses had been completely penetrated.

Since the day Mitsui Tsubasa woke up, he began to carefully observe everyone around him.

He thought he had a clear view of Fujiwara Kotetsu. This tall and mighty bodyguard was definitely not the kind of person who would settle for mediocrity. When he was not on a mission, he was either working out in the gym or practicing shooting at the shooting range, and he even disdained basic entertainment.

How could such a person be willing to be just a bodyguard and spend his life in obscurity in the dark?

As long as the stage is set, those who are eager to dance will jump on without hesitation!

Once the security company is established, he will have his own manpower at his disposal.

Futaba Sakura, the little girl named Miwa, the sisters Kasumi Yoshizawa, and Maruki Takuto whose whereabouts are now unknown, are all key figures who need to be followed by special personnel.

Although there is no need for 24-hour strict monitoring, at least we should ensure that he will be the first to know if anything happens.

As for the start-up capital...

It was very embarrassing, so he could only ask his father for it first, and he had to ask at least twice.

If he had directly brought up the issue of the security company at the beginning, his father would have definitely rejected him outright, and he might even have been criticized.

Therefore, he planned to start with pharmaceutical companies, as it would be relatively easier to ask for money in this name.

Wu Jianmiao's special medicine is now a semi-finished product. I ask her to speed up the process and finish the quick-healing medicine first, then things will be easier afterwards.

Although drugs that have not passed clinical trials cannot be registered or marketed, he can hand over the finished drugs to his father for clinical trials in Kanagawa. As long as the drug is effective enough, financing will not be a problem.

It can not only improve his father's status in the family, but also intercept part of the funds to set up a security company. This is a win-win strategy for Mitsui Tsubasa.

Once it is successfully launched, there will be few obstacles to subsequent development.

The success of the new drug developed by Takemiya in the original work has already foreshadowed its potential market value.

It's like taking an open-book exam with the answers, and the possibility of failure is almost zero.

How should I ask for this first sum of money?

Mitsui Tsubasa stood up and paced back and forth in the room, repeatedly thinking about his speaking skills and the possible doubts he might encounter.

Time is also an issue, he must raise the funds and prepare the contract before next Sunday.
