My roommate turns out to be the heiress of a triad!

Since taking over the mess of the Shinonome Society from his father-in-law, Hiroki Kujo, Daisuke Kujo hasn't spent this much time in Tokyo outside of the beginning of the year for nearly twenty years.

to him.

The warm spring sunshine in Tokyo seems so rare.

Daisuke Kujo, wearing a haori, sat on the veranda on the west side of the mansion, basking in the sun.

The warm sunlight made him feel drowsy.

He was startled awake by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.

"Hello, this is Kujo."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Kujo. This is Sakai. Can I proceed with the restructuring of Nakajima Real Estate?"

"Oh, it's Sakai. No rush, that matter isn't progressing enough yet."

"Based on the results of our previous discussions, have Akai and the others prepare a proposal for me to review."

"Okay, Mr. Kujo. When are you coming back from Tokyo? Kumamoto can't function without you here."

"It'll be soon. If there's any unforeseen incident, just ask Kato. He's worked at the Kumamoto branch for many years and is considered trustworthy among those old guys. He has enough prestige to keep people in line."

Less than two minutes after I hung up the phone, another call came in.

"Hello, this is Kujo."

"Mr. Kujo, this is Beppu. There are preliminary results regarding your previous order to investigate the embezzlement of Usa Industrial's accounts."

An investigation has confirmed that nearly 980 million yuan of funds in the company's accounts have an unknown destination.

All the evidence currently available points to Ito, the director of Usa Industrial.

"I understand. Send someone to detain Director Ito first, and we'll deal with it when I get back."

After that, Daisuke Kujo received several more phone calls, and an hour passed by in the blink of an eye, leaving him wide awake.

Over the years, the actual state of Dongyun Society has become even worse than I initially imagined.

As a yakuza organization.

During the tenure of its previous leader, Hiroki Kujo, it gradually abandoned the "old three things" that traditional Japanese yakuza organizations relied on to maintain their operations: gambling, loan sharking, and protection money.

Committed to legalizing, corporatizing, and corporatizing Dongyun Society.

By distributing shares of the corporatized company to existing members and providing them with strong livelihood security, the interests of all members are tied together.

They raised and won over a large number of modern people who obeyed the Kujo family, and established a certain degree of personal dependence relationship with them.

Otherwise, it's hard to imagine that in the 21st century, anyone would still be willing to be, at least in form, a slave to someone else.

As a modern enterprise.

Dongyun Society suffers from outdated systems, rigid procedures, and corruption among its core members, making it increasingly less competitive than emerging companies in recent years.

If it weren't for repaying his father-in-law, Hiroki Kujo, for recognizing his talent, he wouldn't have abandoned his original surname to marry into the Kujo family and take over this mess from him.

Since it's a promise, it must be kept.

This is Daisuke Kujo's life motto.

No matter who the recipient is, he always keeps his word.

"Speaking of which, Hiroji's child came to see Mao this morning, right?"

Kujo Daisuke's sudden words made Koyama Yuji, the Kujo family's butler who was serving him, somewhat flustered.

For no other reason than that.

The reason was that the "Hongci" mentioned by the master was his deceased son.

And Hiroji's child is his grandson, Kenji Koyama.

"Yes. I was out running errands this morning, and I only found out after he came to my door."

The child didn't know you had returned from Kumamoto, so he didn't come to greet you. Please forgive him, sir.

"It's alright, Mr. Koyama. You know I've never cared about these superficial things."

"That's because you, sir, are considerate of your servants and don't want us to work so hard."

Everyone in the manor knows that you have been working tirelessly day and night for us.

Putting everything else aside, everyone hopes to at least provide you, your wife, and your daughter with a comfortable and safe living environment.

"Okay, okay. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Daisuke Kujo knew that the old man, who grew up in that era, had a deeply ingrained master-servant mentality, and if this continued to agonize over it, it would probably never end.

"Kenji is here because of Mayu, isn't he?"

"Yes."

"How's it going? Has it had any effect?"

"To my shame, Kenji was unable to meet Lady Mao and had to be sent home by her."

"oh."

Daisuke Kujo responded softly.

The eldest daughter of the previous generation of the Kujo family inherited her stubborn temperament from her father, Kujo Hiroki.

Once someone has made up their mind about something, nothing can change it.

When her father-in-law was still alive, he talked to Daisuke Kujo about the personality of his only daughter.

She wasn't like this before. Ever since I stopped her from coming back that time, she's slowly become like this.

At that time, Hiroki Kujo's wrinkled, dark face was filled with regret.

Having intercepted the letters between Kujo Mao and her pen pal, he never imagined that his silly daughter would actually go to such lengths to meet her pen pal whom she had never met.

I never imagined that stopping her would have such an impact on her personality.

Meeting up with a pen pal? What's there to worry about?

Let's meet then.

We'll send someone to keep an eye on them; what trouble can they possibly cause?

But there's no going back.

Daisuke Kujo knew that Mao Kujo still harbored resentment towards Hiroki Kujo.

That domineering father and the Dongyun Society, which was undergoing a period of tradition and change, destroyed her dream of beautiful love.

That was Kujo Mao's most beautiful, most longed-for, yet most unrealistic dream during her teenage years.

As Hiroki Kujo's daughter, she was unable to destroy the organization with her own hands.

We can only adopt a conflicted attitude, hoping that the terminally ill giant, Dongyun Society, will not survive the major surgery of "reform and restructuring" and will collapse.

They were unwilling to personally attend its funeral, so they placed it in a coffin and buried it in the ground.

[To let your daughter embark on the path of reviving the organization that destroyed your life's happiness? Absolutely not!]

Daisuke Kujo guessed that this was a true reflection of Mao Kujo's inner thoughts.

He didn't care which path his daughter, Kujo Mayu, wanted to take in the future.

To be more precise.

No matter which path Kujo Mayu chooses, Kujo Daisuke will support her.

With the Kujo family's wealth and resources, they can definitely help her realize her dream.

If he wants to take over the reins and control the Dongyun Society.

Then, Kujo Daisuke will spend his lifetime removing the thorns within the Shinonome Society for his daughter, allowing her to ascend to power safely and without worry.

After all.

The knot in Kujo Mao's heart that was buried deep inside her was never untied.

It fundamentally influences Kujo Mao's behavior, leading her to confine Kujo Mayu to her quarters in order to make her abandon her aspirations.

It's time to have a serious talk with Mao.

"Mr. Koyama, where is Mao now?"

"At this time of day, Lady Mao usually practices archery at the dojo."

"Really? Take me to see her."
