Chapter 176: He Can Only Be Mine! Sato Tokugawa's Resolve!
And in another private room not far away, Sato Tokugawa was exactly gulping down a large mouthful of sake, his fat figure difficultly kneeling behind the wine table, looking at the several elderly officials in front of him with greying hair, thin figures, but yet in charge of domains related to housing and construction, he was extremely flattering.
Surrounding him, there were still four or five General Managers or Chairmen of construction groups similarly having pulling power in Tokyo Metropolis.
The air inside the private room all flowed with the arrogance of money and power, every single subtle eye contact, all contained profound meanings difficult for bystanders to pry into, as if isolated into two worlds from the clamor outside.
“Excellencies, Presidents, Happy New Year ah!”
An elderly man with greying hair, wearing a traditional kimono sitting at the head seat, took the lead raising his wine cup, smile on his face genial, yet his voice carrying unquestionable majesty:
“Being able to gather here today, is also for the future of our Greater Tokyo metropolitan area. Old rules, first toast to everyone, wishing everyone, new atmosphere for the New Year, wealth flowing in abundantly!”
Everyone raised their cups one after another, the liquor fluid glistening with crystal-clear radiance under the light.
“Toast to Excellency!”
“Toast to Presidents!”
A cup of sake down the stomach, the atmosphere instantly became even more animated. Sato Tokugawa put down the wine cup, that fat face of his piled full of smiles, he took the lead opening his mouth, breaking the brief silence:
“Excellency is right ah! Our Kirin Real Estate, this year near Tokyo City, has already planned three large-scale new real estate projects, preparing when spring is warm and flowers blossom, formally starting. Moreover, we also intend in the Tokyo Metropolis region, connecting into a patch, creating a super large-scale building complex, forming a landmark project of our Greater Tokyo metropolitan area!”
The voice of his words just fell, the responsible personnel of several construction groups beside also followed chiming in one after another, you one word I one sentence, imagining the beautiful blueprint of the future.
“President Sato said excellently! Our Yamato Construction, also intends in the Tokyo Bay area, to take down several pieces of land, creating a patch of high-end residential area, contributing a portion of strength for our Greater Tokyo metropolitan area!”
“That's right! Our Sanbonjou Construction, this year also prepares to expand scale, introducing the most advanced construction techniques, ensuring the engineering quality of ours, reaches world first-class level!”
“Excellencies, Presidents, the future of our Greater Tokyo metropolitan area, that is exactly boundless ah!”
Inside their words, full of beautiful expectations towards the future, optimistic judgement towards housing prices, as well as infinite longing towards economic takeoff.
Of course, beneath these grand narratives, also mixed with some, even more practical, also even more secretive interest distribution.
“Speaking of which, President Sato.”
A thin-figured official with sharp eyes, lightly smiling opened his mouth, inside his tone carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate reminder:
“Your Kirin Real Estate's real estate projects, have always been the industry benchmark. Don't know, in the aspect of construction materials, have you considered, supporting a bit more of our local outstanding enterprises ah?”
The voice of his words just fell, another official also followed chiming in, smile on his face genial:
“Yeah, President Sato. Our Tokyo Metropolis, has many outstanding construction teams, techniques excellent, experience rich. If able to have the opportunity, participating into your projects, then that driving effect towards our local economy, but is massive ah!”
“Aiyaya! The two Excellencies are right! Are right!”
Sato Tokugawa immediately understood implicitly, that fat face of his, piled full of flattering smiles:
“The two Excellencies rest assured! Our Kirin Real Estate, always supports local enterprises! When the time comes, whether construction materials, or construction teams, we will all prioritize considering, cooperating with local outstanding enterprises!”
He paused, inside his tone carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate "hint":
“Of course, our Kirin Real Estate, overseas, also set up some construction teams. If Excellencies, or Presidents, have any interest towards overseas construction projects, we can also... mutually exchange ideas right.”
This word coming out, the several officials present, inside those peaceful eyes of theirs, all flashed a trace of imperceptible sharp light.
Overseas construction teams.
These four words, sufficient to let them associate to, those secretive overseas accounts, as well as those, interest conveyances unable to see the light of day.
“President Sato, some words, but cannot be spoken randomly ah.”
The elderly man sitting at the head seat, suddenly lightly coughed a sound, smile on his face unchanged, voice yet carrying a trace of unquestionable warning:
“We are all public servants serving the citizens, everything must be handled according to rules and regulations, but cannot listen and believe those irresponsible rumors ah.”
“Yes yes yes! Excellency is right! Is right!”
Sato Tokugawa immediately lowered his head, on that fat face of his, written full of perfectly appropriate "trepidation" and "apology":
“It's all this mouth of mine, spouting nonsense! Excellencies, please never take it seriously! I punish myself with three cups!”
Saying this, he then picked up the wine cup, consecutively gulping down three cups of sake, that "tactfulness", making the several officials present, all tacitly smile.
They knew, interest distribution was already completed.
“Hahahahaha! President Sato, you are truly... too courteous already!”
An official laughingly said.
“Yeah! President Sato, this alcohol capacity of yours, is truly massive capacity ah!”
Another official also followed chiming in.
The atmosphere once again became relaxed, everyone you one word I one sentence, imagining the beautiful blueprint of the future, as if that feast of money and power, was already near at hand.
“Speaking of which, President Sato.”
The elderly man sitting at the head seat, suddenly cast his gaze towards Sato Tokugawa, smile on his face playful, inside his tone carrying a trace of teasing:
“I heard, that movie you invested in recently, seems... box office not too ideal ah?”
This speech coming out, the responsible personnel of several construction groups surrounding, all tacitly smiled.
They knew, this Excellency, is using this "sore spot" of Sato Tokugawa to make a joke already.
Sato Tokugawa upon hearing this, yet on his face didn't have half a bit of embarrassment at all, he merely uncaringly waved his hand, on that fat face of his instead having the smile of being proud of making jokes with himself:
“Hai! Excellency is right! That movie ah, is exactly a playing around nature. I was just to let my 'canary' be happy that's all, a mere few hundred million, threw away then threw away, doesn't matter!”
He paused, inside his tone carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate flattery:
“If Excellencies, or Presidents, have any liked movies, liked female artists... casually say! I Sato Tokugawa, will immediately invest! As long as able to let everyone be happy, a few hundred million of investment, that is all not a thing!”
“Hahahahaha! President Sato, you are truly... wealthy and imposing ah!”
“Yeah! President Sato, this boldness of yours, truly makes people admire!”
The crowd upon hearing this, all once again laughed out loud, that sound, full of praise towards Sato Tokugawa's "straightforwardness" and "generosity".
Of course, they all knew this was merely teasing, was the amusing joke after completing interest distribution, amidst happiness.
Sato Tokugawa also understood, he was merely accompanying the crowd, speaking some jokes mainly belittling those idol stars, amusing everyone to be even happier.
“Those idol stars ah, are exactly some vases! Besides knowing how to act cool, knowing how to act cute, what else do they know how to do? Letting them go film movies, is simply wasting money!”
“Exactly! Those little brats, just know to act lovesick towards a face! Fundamentally don't understand what is called movie art at all!”
“Therefore ah, still have to look at us who engage in the construction industry! Only true capability, is exactly the hard truth!”
These words of Sato Tokugawa, undoubtedly spoke into the bottom of the hearts of everyone present.
They are all "old foxes" who rolled and crawled in the business field for decades, naturally towards those idol stars "eating by relying on face", that is even more quite disdainful.
After all they had also come into contact with those idol stars.
Themselves casually scattering some money.
Don't know how many idol stars, unable to wait wanting to come drink sake with oneself ne!
For a time, inside the private room once again was full of cheerful air, everyone you one word I one sentence, carrying out merciless "criticism" towards those idol stars they once came into contact with, encountered, or even been intimate with.
And exactly amidst this clamor full of money and power, the elderly man sitting at the head seat, suddenly glanced at the time on his wristwatch.
He knew, the formal banquet, is about to begin.
“Everyone, time is about up.”
He slowly put down the wine cup, smile on his face restrained, replacing it, is a kind of majesty belonging to a higher-up.
The elderly man's voice was composed and powerful, instantly then thoroughly suppressing down the clamor inside the private room:
“Next, we are going to the hall, to attend the formal banquet. However before leaving, I still have a few sentences, wanting to speak with everyone.”
He paused, gaze peacefully sweeping over every single person inside the private room, inside those profound eyes of his, flashing a kind of, profundity belonging to a layout planner.
“Everyone, you are all the elites of our Greater Tokyo metropolitan area, are the mainstay, pushing forward the economic development of our Nippon. Therefore, some matters, I hope you can look slightly further.”
“Next, the country will regulate the economy, but please everyone remember, real estate, is always the firmest side. After all, our Tokyo Metropolis, as well as the succeeding Greater Tokyo metropolitan area, but are entire national-level strategies! In the future, it will occupy the entire Nippon, six tenths of the economy!”
“Therefore, everyone, properly work hard ba.”
The elderly man's voice, exactly like the warmest sunshine in winter days, slowly sprinkling on everyone's heart:
“As long as you closely follow the country's paces, closely follow the strategy of the Greater Tokyo metropolitan area, I guarantee, next, anyone won't be able to suffer losses.”
The voice falling, inside the private room once again descended into a patch of death-like silence.
Everyone blankly looked at the elderly man, on those faces one by one, written full of shock and awe, as well as a kind of fanaticism of grand ambitions being thoroughly ignited.
Six tenths of the economy!
These four words, exactly like the most precise nuclear bomb, instantly resoundingly blasted in their hearts!
They knew, this speech of the elderly man's, wasn't only a promise towards their future destinies, even more issuing towards them, a clear "order", coming from the highest power stratum.
“Hai!”
“We definitely, closely follow the country! Absolutely won't fall behind!”
Everyone all uniformly bowed, that sound additionally fanatic and flattering. After all this elderly man currently speaking this sentence, then doesn't it equate to, they are exactly the insiders knowing the earliest?
Knowing the earliest, then that equates to eating meat the earliest!
Moreover still is the fattiest meat!
They will be the most direct beneficiaries!
“Very good.”
Looking at them understanding his own meaning, the elderly man satisfiedly nodded his head, on his face bringing a fully satisfied smile:
“Let's go, everyone. We go attend the banquet.”
He took the lead standing up, stepping with composed paces, walking out of the private room.
The crowd closely followed behind.
Sato Tokugawa walked at the very back of the team, he looked at that slender and also tall and straight back figure of the elderly man, thinking of his own appearance of bowing low and acting small, inside those small eyes narrowed into a slit, flashed a trace of gloomy and cold resentment.
People all have tempers.
He, Sato Tokugawa, CEO of Kirin Group, on what grounds does he have to suffer the manipulation of these old things, unprovokedly giving away nearly four tenths of his own net profit of every year?
Even still letting himself play the clown inside the banquet, amusing everyone for pleasure?
......
At the same time, in the hall of the "Kinkaku" club, a silent social game, was also quietly proceeding.
Nohara Hiroshi and Sakata Nobuhiko, after meeting with Excellency the Minister of Promotion and Fujiwara Hideaki, then once again returned to the hall.
Just as they appeared, then once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
Countless pairs of eyes uniformly cast towards them.
“Department Manager Nohara! You... where did you go just now ah?”
A young reporter, took the lead breaking the silence, he fast-walked to the front of Nohara Hiroshi, inside his voice carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate respect and probing.
Nohara Hiroshi merely smilingly shook his head, inside those clear eyes of his, not the slightest ripple arose:
“Merely with Bureau Chief Sakata, went to visit several old seniors that's all.”
He didn't make much explanation, that calm and indifference, that bearing of as if everything is within grasp, even more making the surrounding reporters, look with heart yearning and mind intoxicated.
“Department Manager Nohara, I heard, you are recently preparing a movie named "Hachiko Monogatari"? This... is this true?”
Another reporter also closely followed asking, inside the tone full of curiosity.
Towards this Nohara Hiroshi slightly stunned, although he previously already released the news, going to prepare "Hachiko Monogatari".
But how does this reporter suddenly know right now?
And exactly on the side, Sakata Nobuhiko standing beside Fujiwara Hideaki, then smilingly nodded his head towards him.
Everything is unspoken.
Nohara Hiroshi instantly understood, this reporter is exactly from the promotion department, intending to borrow this high-specification welcoming the new year banquet held by the government, to do an advertisement for himself.
The corners of the mouth slightly curled.
This is indeed a very good opportunity to do an advertisement.
“Yes.”
Hence Nohara Hiroshi peacefully nodded his head, inside those clear eyes of his, flashing a trace of confident light, beginning to answer the question of this reporter obviously specially arranged over:
“What this movie tells about is an Akita Inu named Hachiko, who after its owner passed away, still rain or shine everyday, at the station waiting for its owner to return, a touching story. What it embodies, is exactly our Nippon nation, the most precious spirit —— loyalty.”
“Loyalty? Dog?”
This speech coming out, the surrounding reporters, on their faces all surfaced a trace of bewilderment.
They never thought, Nohara Hiroshi, actually would choose a, story about a dog, to serve as his next work.
“Department Manager Nohara, you... are you intending to use a, story about a dog, to lead the national personality of our Nippon?”
A reporter couldn't help but open his mouth, inside his voice carrying a trace of unable to suppress questioning.
This questioning is identical to the questioning of those officials previously.
“Yeah! Department Manager Nohara! Why must you choose a story about a dog, to embody the loyalty of a dog ne?”
Another reporter also followed chiming in, face written full of incomprehension.
Facing this questioning surging over exactly like a tide, on Nohara Hiroshi's face yet still was that calm and indifferent appearance.
He knew this is exactly the "challenge" he anticipated, also his best timing to explain the reasoning towards these "smart people".
He raised his hand gesturing for everyone to be quiet, that composed bearing, like a stream of invisible power, instantly then suppressing down the clamor at the scene.
“Everyone, please listen to me.”
Nohara Hiroshi's voice not loud, yet clearly transmitted to every single corner of the venue, every single word carrying logic and power.
“I understand very well why everyone asks like this, because in traditional concepts, a dog is only an animal, an animal raised for feeding. Fundamentally cannot be spoken of in the same breath as humans, because animals intrinsically do not have thoughts, do not have emotions.”
“Especially our Yamato nation of Nippon is a nation emphasizing loyalty, inside history, samurai, vassals, wives, children, lords, daimyos... wait wait wait, all have countless stories of loyalty.”
“However we have heard too many, know too many, even many are already to the point even children can recite from memory.”
“Therefore everyone is benumbed.”
“But have everyone thought about it, we now entered modern society, these once inflexible loyalty educations, are they exactly still useful? I think no need for me to say more, everyone is also able to know. Is fundamentally useless, even for the vocabulary of loyalty, everyone felt unfamiliarity, felt it is exceptionally precious.”
Nohara Hiroshi's tone as if able to penetrate all hypocrisy and calculation, directly reaching the softest corner inside human hearts.
“However when we place our gaze under the historical background of modern times, an ordinary Nippon person, the raised dog, can all learn the most precious moral character of our Nippon people —— loyalty.”
“Then doesn't it exactly illustrate, if we in this apathetic society, if unable to learn loyalty anymore, then even worse than a dog ne?”
The sound of his rhetorical question exactly like a dry clap of thunder, ruthlessly striking on the heart of every single person present.
Especially after Nohara Hiroshi once again spoke out inside the private room, his evaluation towards this kind of animal of dog.
All reporters blankly looked at Nohara Hiroshi, on those faces one by one, at this moment written full of shock, sudden realization, as well as a kind of awe after three views being thoroughly overturned.
They never thought, a story of a dog, actually could be elevated to philosophical height!
“Turns out it's like this... turns out it's this meaning...”
“Oh my god! I... I actually never thought, a dog's loyalty, could be interpreted this profoundly!”
“He... what he said is right! Human's loyalty, is always mixed with too many things... while a dog's loyalty, is yet this pure!”
The reporters one after another nodded their heads.
Inside that gaze all the questioning and dissatisfaction had already faded away, only leaving a kind of stunning and appreciation.
They picked up the recording pens and notebooks in their hands, beginning flyingly recording every single word, every single viewpoint of Nohara Hiroshi, deeply afraid of omitting any single detail.
They knew, this speech, will once again in the entire Nippon society, set off a profound discussion regarding "loyalty" and "humanity"!
And those celebrities and nobles surrounding, looking at Nohara Hiroshi accepting the interview, at this moment also one after another nodded their heads, surfacing a kind of sincere approval on their faces.
They are the elites of this society, are the controllers of power, even more the players of human relations and the ways of the world. They are too clear about the fragility and complexity of human loyalty, also too understanding of the scarcity and preciousness of pure emotions.
“What Department Manager Nohara said is right, a dog's loyalty, is indeed even more pure than humans ah.”
An elderly wealthy businessman, gently stroking the beard on his chin, thoughtfully said.
“Yeah, that unconditional love and waiting, is indeed capable of touching the softest place of people's hearts.”
A贵婦 dazzling with jewels, a trace of being moved flashing in her eyes.
“"Hachiko Monogatari"... this story, sounding it is full of sensationalizing power.”
A movie company's president, a trace of sharp light flashing in his eyes, he had already smelled the scent of box office.
“I actually look forward very much, how Department Manager Nohara will present this pure loyalty, onto the silver screen.”
Another scholar from the cultural circles full of curiosity and expectations in his eyes.
For a time the entire hall all started whispering and discussing.
“Department Manager Nohara is truly a genius ah! Always able to from the most ordinary things, excavate out the most profound philosophical principles!”
“Yeah, he is always able to use the most unique method, to move people's hearts, to trigger social resonance!”
“"Hachiko Monogatari"... I decided! When this movie premieres, I definitely have to bring the whole family, to go to the cinema to support!”
“Me too! I even think, if this movie can truly be filmed well, I'm willing to invest for it, even promote for it!”
Celebrities and nobles, one after another revealed strong desire towards Nohara Hiroshi's new movie, that enthusiasm, even compared to the praise towards "Seven Samurai" just now, was even more blazing hot.
At the edge of the crowd, Sakata Nobuhiko and Fujiwara Hideaki, were exactly peacefully gazing at all this.
They looked at Nohara Hiroshi under the spotlight, not having stage fright, not flustered, speaking with fervor and assurance, dissolving those seemingly absurd questionings one by one, even conversely, deeply planting his own concepts into the heart of every single listener.
That composed bearing, that steady logic, that charm of controlling the entire venue, making the two elderly men both reveal gratified smiles.
“Sakata-kun, did you see?”
Fujiwara Hideaki lightly smiling, inside the gaze full of appreciation,
“Nohara-kun him ah, is a natural seed for engaging in politics.”
Sakata Nobuhiko upon hearing this, on his face surfacing a trace of surprise.
He turned his head, looking at Fujiwara Hideaki, flashing a trace of incomprehension in his eyes:
“Excellency Fujiwara, you... you are saying, Nohara-kun he, is suitable for engaging in politics?”
“Yeah.”
Fujiwara Hideaki nodded his head, inside those profound eyes of his, flashing a kind of, keen insight belonging to politicians,
“A qualified person engaging in politics, needs to possess what elements ne?”
He paused, his gaze once again casting towards Nohara Hiroshi, inside his tone carrying a trace of sighing:
“First, he must not be flustered facing danger, not fearful facing danger. Facing any sudden situations, can all maintain calmness, can all composedly respond. Nohara-kun he, accomplished it.”
“Secondly, he must have an ordinary complexion, joy and anger not showing on the face. Regardless of how massive the waves in the heart, the outward appearance can all maintain peacefulness, not letting opponents pry into his own true thoughts. Nohara-kun he, also accomplished it.”
“Lastly, also the most important point, he must have logic, able to speak with fervor and assurance. He must be able to use the clearest logic, the most moving language, to persuade everyone, to infect everyone, to lead everyone. Nohara-kun he, perfectly accomplished it.”
Fujiwara Hideaki slowly withdrawing his gaze, looking at Sakata Nobuhiko, on his face surfacing a trace of appreciative smile:
“Therefore, Sakata-kun, you understood right? Nohara-kun he, is exactly this kind of a, man natively born for politics. He has talent, has pattern, has charm, even more has that, power sufficient to control human hearts. I, very much appreciate him.”
Sakata Nobuhiko upon hearing this, on his face surfacing a trace of bitter smile.
He knew Fujiwara Hideaki said nothing wrong, Nohara Hiroshi indeed possessed all the excellent qualities of persons engaging in politics.
But...
“Excellency Fujiwara, you must not say like this.”
Sakata Nobuhiko helplessly shaking his head, inside his tone carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate "complaint":
“Nohara-kun he ah, is exactly a seed I kept for TV Tokyo, a hope used to initiate a new era. You but cannot dig him away ah.”
Fujiwara Hideaki upon hearing this, merely lightly softly smiling shaking his head, inside those profound eyes of his, flashing a trace of understanding seeing through everything.
“Sakata-kun, you worried too much.”
Fujiwara Hideaki smilingly saying:
“Of course I know, Nohara-kun is the precious darling of your TV Tokyo. I also know, although he is currently outstanding, but after all still young, still needs even more experience, even more tempering.”
He paused, gaze casting towards Nohara Hiroshi, flashing a trace of sighing in his eyes:
“He still needs time, to precipitate, to grow. Just like a piece of uncarved jade, although radiance initially appearing, but distance from true perfection, still needs a bout of fine crafting and meticulous carving. Therefore ah, Sakata-kun, you completely don't need to worry. Us ah, are all merely for him, providing a stage capable of better growing better blooming out radiance that's all.”
Sakata Nobuhiko upon hearing this breathed a sigh of relief, on his face surfacing a trace of gratified smile.
He knew Fujiwara Hideaki said nothing wrong.
Nohara Hiroshi indeed still needs even more experience.
“Yeah, what Excellency Fujiwara said is right.”
Sakata Nobuhiko lightly sighed a sound, gaze cast towards Nohara Hiroshi, inside his eyes full of expectations:
“Hiroshi-kun he ah, although now is already very outstanding. But distance from true peak, still has a very long stretch of road needing to be walked. I even frequently think, waiting until he is forty to fifty years old, perhaps then able to in the Greater Tokyo metropolitan area, have an echelon belonging to himself already.”
Fujiwara Hideaki upon hearing this, also smilingly nodded his head, on his face surfacing a trace of agreeing smile.
He looked at Nohara Hiroshi, inside those profound eyes of his, full of infinite longing towards this young man.
The two elderly higher-ups, at this moment all because of that dazzling radiance of Nohara Hiroshi, consequently even more increasingly appreciated this young man up.
They as if had already seen, in the near future, Nohara Hiroshi will use a kind of unmatched posture, standing tall at the peak of the Nippon cultural circles, even, in the political circles, in the business circles, in various domains, all blooming out radiance belonging to himself, unique and unmatched.
However, exactly amidst this atmosphere full of praise and longing, inside a corner at the edge of the venue, Sato Tokugawa yet was looking at that heroic posture of Nohara Hiroshi speaking with fervor and assurance, inside those small eyes narrowed into a slit, at this moment yet flashing a kind of, stunning feeling that even he himself couldn't explain clearly.
His fat body, uncontrollably slightly trembled, that originating from the deep bottom of the heart, intense possessiveness and... undisguised, naked emotions, almost about to spew out from that fat body of his.
He felt, that heart of his own already long filled full by money and power, at this moment, actually by this young man, using a kind of unmatched posture, thoroughly, ignited.
“Hmph, President Sato, do you also feel, that kid, is indeed an exceptionally rare 'stunner' ah?”
Right at this moment, a similarly fat-figured group CEO bringing a trace of wicked smile on his face, holding a glass of champagne, harboring malicious intentions walked over.
He looked at that almost approaching infatuation gaze of Sato Tokugawa's, the corners of the mouth revealing a smile of having identical hobbies:
“Do we two old fellows want to, together set up a layout, to get him into hands? When the time comes, after you are finished, again exchange ideas with me, how about it?”
His words carried a kind of flavor making people feel nauseated.
On that fat face of Sato Tokugawa's, all expressions instantly froze.
He fiercely turned his head, inside those small eyes narrowed into a slit, at this moment yet flashing a kind of, gloomy coldness exactly like a venomous snake and... anger!
“Yamamoto Oura! What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Sato Tokugawa's voice carried a trace of unable to suppress trembling, he fiercely clenched his fists, that intense anger originating from the heart, almost about to thoroughly swallow him.
This group CEO, Yamamoto Oura, due to that sudden anger of Sato Tokugawa's, on his face surfaced a trace of bewilderment.
He never thought, Sato Tokugawa actually would for an young man, and towards him, be this angry.
“Sato, you... are you being dumb?”
Yamamoto uncomprehendingly asked:
“You actually refused? Don't you like this kind of... this kind of young and handsome... the most”
“Shut up!”
Sato Tokugawa's voice, carried a trace of hoarseness, he fiercely stood up, that originating from the heart, intense dissatisfaction and... anger of a certain unable to be explained clearly treasured object of his own being pried into by others, making that fat body of his, uncontrollably slightly tremble.
He looked at Yamamoto, inside those small eyes narrowed into a slit, flashing a kind of, gloomy coldness exactly like a venomous snake and... warning.
“Nohara Hiroshi, the feeling he gives me, is different.”
Sato Tokugawa's voice carried inexplicable complexity:
“He... he is a person I do not allow you to casually touch. If he is willing, I can lend my Kamiki Shunsuke to you to play around. However, Nohara Hiroshi, absolutely cannot!”
Yamamoto blankly stood in place, increasingly doubtfully looking at that fat face of Sato Tokugawa.
He looked at Sato Tokugawa, seemingly thought of something, the corners of his mouth hooking up a smile:
“Good... good! Sato, I understand.”
Yamamoto picked up the champagne in his hands, gently taking a sip, that ice-cold liquid made him very satisfied:
“Since it's like this, then remember to let your canary, Kamiki Shunsuke, come find me to report.”
“Hmph.”
Sato Tokugawa coldly snorted a sound considered as taking it up.
And then he glanced at that slender and also tall and straight back figure of Nohara Hiroshi in the distance, hands excited to the point of trembling:
“He can only be mine!”
He tightly bit his teeth.
And at this time, Nohara Hiroshi seemingly noticed something, the back still speaking with fervor and assurance slightly going numb.
Turning head, yet saw that fat Chairman Sato Tokugawa.
Was exactly staring straightly at himself.
That gaze.
That desire.
All made Nohara Hiroshi subconsciously gulp down a mouthful of saliva.
Now, Nohara Hiroshi suddenly remembered, not to mention the young and handsome currently with aura fully sufficient version of Nohara Hiroshi.
Even it was the greasy middle-aged man Nohara Hiroshi of the office worker in previous life, all seemingly received the fanatic love of a certain demographic...
“Damn it.”
Nohara Hiroshi for the first time felt slightly wanting to speak curse words for the native-brought ability on his body.
