After playing the entire night in Tomohisa's room, Seiji finally left with a satisfied expression.
At first, Feng Wu joined them, but she fell asleep as they played. Tomohisa unceremoniously called for a maid to take his sister away, and he continued to play computer games with Seiji.
This otaku wasn't a sis-con...
After that night, Seiji learned that Tomohisa was not only a veteran otaku, but also a brilliant financial investor. All the otaku items in his house were bought with the money he earned from investing in stocks, funds, futures, and venture capital.
His family only provided Tomohisa with a small amount of capital, which he had already repaid with interest, and he was now in charge of half of the Juumonji Group's investment funds.
On the other hand, Tomohisa was also a skilled hacker. In order to prove himself, he hacked into the official websites of several large companies right in front of Seiji, and he did it in a very short amount of time. The series of operations was dazzling, and it left a layman like Seiji with only one thought: "I don't understand, but I think it's awesome!"
After getting to know someone like Tomohisa Juumonji, Seiji felt like he was useless as an otaku.
'This is a true technological otaku! '
Before the two of them said goodbye, they exchanged cell phone and internet contact information, and both indicated that they wanted to keep in touch.
...
"Tomohisa, what do you think about this Harano... Haruta Seiji -sama?"
After Seiji left, Michirou called his second son into his study and asked him this question in a serious tone.
Tomohisa adjusted his glasses.
"Even if we don't consider the fact that we get along well, he's still someone worth befriending."
The current Tomohisa didn't have a single trace of the dispirited otaku he was supposed to be; his expression was serious, and his eyes were calm.
"He is frank and frank, but he is not naive. He does not like to play tricks, but he has the ability to see through hypocrisy and darkness.
"After learning about my ability and position in the family, his attitude did not change at all. This means that he really treats me as a friend and not a tool to be used."
"Of course, it's also possible that he doesn't care about my ability at all. However, this possibility is relatively low because he's currently in a banished state, so he should be using everything he can."
"I … and even the Juumonji group are valuable to the current him. But, he doesn't seem polite on the surface or prejudices on the inside. He doesn't treat me like a tool and treats me calmly. That's quite rare."
Michirou nodded. Tomohisa's view was basically the same as his.
"Then, how valuable do you think Lord Haruta Seiji is to us?"
"There's still too little information, so I can't make a judgment. But as far as he's concerned, we won't lose anything by befriending him. That's because his personality has determined that he won't betray his friends or allies. The more we help him, the more he'll want to repay us."
"Let's not talk about whether or not he'll be able to return to the Juumonji family in the future. Just looking at his ability, as long as he's willing, he'll be able to help us solve all sorts of problems … He didn't even use his full strength when dealing with Agu and Big Bro, but if he uses his full strength and is equipped with a gun, his destructive power will definitely be terrifying!"
"At the very least, I don't think the Juumonji group has the ability to resist."
A period of silence fell between them.
Michirou couldn't help but agree with Tomohisa's judgment.
Actually, he was still thinking about this matter last night, and his conclusion was the same as his younger son's.
If Haruta Seiji was equipped with a gun, he would be able to single-handedly wipe out the entire Juumonji group! This was no joke.
Even if they didn't befriend him, they definitely couldn't make an enemy out of him … a powerful (strange) person.
"Furthermore, if we consider the fact that he'll be able to return to the Juumonji family in the future, then this swordsman's value will increase to a level that I can't even begin to estimate!" A strange light flashed in Tomohisa's eyes.
"To be honest, I think that it's highly possible that he'll be able to return to the Juumonji family, because he was exiled purely because of his past depravity, not because someone intentionally tried to harm him. Now that he's changed for the better, there's a high chance that he'll be reaccepted by the Juumonji family.
"If I were in the Haruta family's shoes, I wouldn't abandon such a prodigal son who's turned over a new leaf. Even if he's only used as a low-level talent, he'll still be of great value."
Michirou nodded.
An exiled person from "the other side" might return to a top-level family, but he was currently in his lowest phase. He was a person with a good character and temperament, and in terms of martial arts, he was already at the top of the mortal category.
There was no need to think or weigh the pros and cons anymore. If Michirou let go of this person and this opportunity, then he would be worse than an idiot!
"What should I do if I want to befriend this Lord?"
Tomohisa smiled.
"He's the same as me, so I have a natural advantage in interacting with him. As long as I maintain my sincerity, it won't be difficult to truly become his friend … Or rather, I already am, so I'll try to get closer to him without messing things up."
"On the other hand, didn't Feng Wu fall in love with him at first sight? He would let her do as she pleased. It's difficult for a man to resist a beautiful woman's sincere pursuit. "
"It'll be best if my younger sister can take him down as soon as possible. Even if she can't do it in a short period of time, she'll still be able to get closer to him."
"At any rate, if I want to befriend this Haruta Seiji -sama, I'll have to use a direct approach. I'll be sincere and generous, express my goodwill, offer my help, and get closer to him."
"As long as I do this, I won't arouse his disgust, but in order to avoid arousing his disgust, I can't be too proactive … In my opinion, why don't you just leave this matter to me, and I'll handle it well."
Michirou raised his eyebrows.
"I think this is the first time you've volunteered to take on such a task, Tomohisa."
"Because I think this is the most suitable task for me. Apart from me, there's no one else in our group who can do better than me, not even Feng Wu. Her brain has already gone haywire, and being in love will lower her IQ."
"But, the most important thing is that I truly like this swordsman … If he marries Kaede in the future and becomes the true leader of the Juumonji Group, then … that might be the most beautiful future that I can imagine!"
As Tomohisa said this, his eyes revealed a hint of fanaticism.
Michirou couldn't help but smile wryly at his younger son's expression.
"You … You and your older brother both … Do you really not want to inherit my position?"
"I'm an otaku, and I can barely do any work. I can come up with ideas, but I'd rather not work as hard as you, Father! And my older brother is an idiot, and he knows this very well. Feng Wu … Even though she's quite talented, she's still lacking in some areas. "
"And the one she likes now might really be the most suitable candidate for the job! Don't you think so, Father? Compared to me, my older brother, and my younger sister, doesn't he give you the feeling that he's more suitable to be the leader of Juumonji Group? "
Michirou Juumonji once again reviewed everything about that boy — his actions, his gaze, the way he talked, his attitude, his aura … and so on — and smiled.
Indeed, if he really had such a young son, then the future of the Juumonji Group would probably be Antae.
It wouldn't be easy to win over that sama to such an extent, but he still had to try.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Tomohisa — do your best."
