Bab 15: Chapter 15: Forceful Seizure
"Hu~"
"Thank goodness..."
Hearing the exclamations from downstairs, Takeko was very glad she decided to invite Shishou upstairs.
At the same time, she became increasingly respectful towards Shishou for his leniency.
"So, why did you invite me up here?"
"One hundred million ryo. If you don't have something of equivalent value, I won't be so easily dismissed."
Shishou took the main seat in the reception room without any sense of being a guest.
He came to Fire Source City to make money, and if possible, he didn't mind taking over all the casinos and underground banks in the city.
This way, he could secure a continuous source of income to support his future plans.
Hearing Shishou's words, Takeko's face stiffened. She then knelt respectfully beside Shishou with a flattering smile.
"How do you find me, young master?"
"Hmm?"
Looking at the beautiful boss flattering him, Shishou reached out and stroked her hair as if petting a pet.
And the female boss accepted his caress, staring at him intently.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, quite flirtatious.
Shishou stood up and kicked her away, walking to the glass window and speaking calmly,
"I want half of this casino's shares."
"What?"
Takeko, who was just getting up after being pushed down, looked at Shishou in disbelief.
He wants half of her shares; is he crazy?
Takeko glared at Shishou and clapped her hands, bringing in five figures from outside.
These were the five casino ninjas Shishou had seen earlier.
Although Shishou was powerful, Takeko wasn't to be underestimated.
"It seems you're unwilling?"
Shishou turned to look at the five casino guard ninjas who had just entered.
"How could I be willing? Attack!"
Takeko was furious. She had planned to use her charms, but he outright demanded half of her shares.
Half the shares!
Not only would she be unwilling, but those who leeched off her wouldn't agree either.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Shishou shook his head and approached the five attacking casino ninjas.
He sidestepped a kunai thrust from one and chopped his neck, knocking him out.
These casino ninjas were probably rogue ninja of genin level from some village.
Shishou didn't even use his Sharingan. In a few seconds, he knocked out all five with hand chops.
This scene left Takeko dumbfounded.
She didn't expect the ninjas who usually lorded their strength over her to be so helpless against this young man.
"I agree."
Takeko, seeing her five guards defeated in one move, knelt and raised her hands, agreeing to Shishou's demand.
"I agree to give up half the shares."
She didn't want her proud face to be bruised by Shishou.
She wouldn't be able to face anyone then.
"Tell me everything about this casino."
Shishou sat back in the main seat, gesturing for Takeko to come over.
Takeko immediately crawled to Shishou's side, massaging his legs while explaining the casino's situation.
After seeing Shishou's display of strength, she had no thoughts of defying him, fearing a beating if she displeased him.
After understanding the complex background of the Good Fortune Casino from Takeko, Shishou frowned.
He didn't expect Takeko had to hand over 80% of her profits to other casino forces every month.
"These people are really exploiting a weak woman."
And this woman is quite pitiful.
After her husband died, she was bullied like this.
Shishou thought as he continued to invade Takeko's personal space.
"..."
Takeko, blushing, rolled her eyes internally at Shishou's words, thinking,
How can you say such things with a straight face?
After leaving the Good Fortune Casino, Shishou went to other casinos, winning a few million more.
After killing some bandits who tried to rob him, Shishou found a secluded place and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha.
For the next week, Shishou sent a clone to deal with school matters while he himself scouted the casinos in Fire Source City.
With Takeko's help, Shishou quickly understood all the casinos and underground banks in Fire Source City within a week.
Excluding those with official backing from the Land of Fire, Shishou smoothly took control of the remaining casinos and banks.
Given his immense strength, things were very simple.
First, he would negotiate with the owners. If that failed, he would resort to violence.
These people weren't decent; they often did evil things, forcing women into prostitution.
Shishou had no qualms about killing them.
After using Sharingan illusions to identify a few particularly evil casino owners, Shishou devoured them with his insects in front of the others.
The remaining owners, terrified, unanimously agreed to let Shishou become their new boss.
Shishou then merged the controlled casinos into a new one called Abyssal Gambit.
He aimed to build it into a high-end, classy, renowned chain casino.
He banned all nefarious activities and even started a lottery business to support charitable causes in the Land of Fire.
He also consolidated the underground banks into a new company—
Ninja Union Bank.
Ninja Union Bank was naturally modeled after the Swiss banks from Shishou's previous life.
Its operations were similar to those of Swiss banks in his previous life.
Of course, these weren't the main reasons Shishou focused his future efforts on Fire Source City.
Iron mines and other mineral industries were his primary targets.
Whether it was for developing industry or aiming for dominance, iron mines and other minerals were crucial resources.
The only unfortunate part was that most of these industries were controlled by the official government of the Land of Fire, so Shishou couldn't seize them by force.
A single order from the Daimyo could have Konoha come after Shishou.
Until he had enough power, Shishou didn't want to openly confront Konoha.
Having set his direction, Shishou threw all tasks to Takeko.
He let Takeko manage everything while he only handled problems she couldn't solve.
With Shishou's support, Takeko quickly demonstrated her abilities, efficiently managing Shishou's casino and bank operations.
