death of hope

In the middle of the night, Tetsuya Yamama came home drunk, ready to take a bath and rest.

I took off my smiling clothes that were full of cigarette smell, threw them into the bamboo basket to be washed, opened the refrigerator, took out the milk and took a sip to quench my thirst and supplement my protein.

A figure came to the restaurant and stared at him silently in the darkness,
"Who?"

He thought it was a nanny, took a closer look and said:

"Dad?"

The hero on the mountain was wearing pajamas, leaning against the door frame, holding an unlit cigar in his mouth, staring at his son's strong body and said:
"You smell like alcohol all over your body. You came back in the middle of the night. Why are you hanging out with your gang of bad friends again?"

"It's my brother who said it so harshly..."

The hero on the mountain snorted, turned on the exhaust fan, and lit the cigar:
"Your brother and sister are studying hard, but you kid is squandering your youth and sinking yourself."

"Youth is meant to be squandered."

"Fighting with people all day long, I tell you, young man, don't be too arrogant."

"Why don't you call me a young man out of anger!?"

"Ouch, you are quite crazy to talk."

"Must~"

The hero on the mountain smiled, and in his youngest son, he saw the shadow of his own unruly past, and found the feeling of youthful invincibility:
"I heard from the driver, Lao Deng, that you have ruled Kurose for two years and have a lot of hardcore confidants."

"Uncle Deng...it's true, you promised to hide it from dad, but then he sold me out..."

"Hmph! You little brat, you've only known him for a short time! Your Uncle Deng was the one who used to work on the streets with me back then! I started from scratch and worked hard all the way to have the mountain family we have today!"

"You have your brothers, and I have my best friends." Tetsuya Yamama tightened the mouth of the milk bottle, put it back in the refrigerator, and wiped his mouth:

"I am now leading the second largest force in Kurose. Next, I will destroy Ohno in 3rd year and Kagami in 1st year. If I defeat them, I can become the leader of Kurose. , just wait and see, Dad."

"It's not easy to manage an organization with hundreds of people. Have you encountered any problems?"

"Everyone had some grievances before, but they were all willing to give me face and unite under my banner. Occasionally I would talk to one of them alone to make him think that he was the most valued one."

"Very good." The hero on the mountain nodded, and rarely did he praise his younger son without hesitation:

"Your brother has studied MBA management courses for several years. However, what you learned in Kurose for a month is not as practical as what you learned."

"But when it comes to studying, my brother is the best. We each have our own advantages. In the future, we will each help the family business in our areas of expertise." "It's good to know how to be humble and respect your family!"

"I'm a little uncomfortable with it, Dad."

"What's wrong?"

"You praised me more in one night than in the previous ten years combined."

"Haha, how can it be so exaggerated!"

"My brothers and sisters are so outstanding. To be honest, I'm under a lot of pressure. I always want to get your approval, dad. Since I can't study well, I have to find another way~"

"Tetsuya, this is the first time in so many years that our father and son have opened up to each other~"

"For this, we must have a drink."

"It's so late at night, for the sake of your liver, let's forget it, haha..."

The hero on the mountain looked at his son and tried to recall the time when he was fearless:

"Kurose Academy, a cruel hunting ground where the weak prey on the strong, a melting pot that trains boys into men,
Back then, I led a group of brothers and fought hard to become the leader...

Tetsuya, what do you think about brotherly loyalty? "

"It can be said to be the most important and precious thing for Kurose's passionate young man..."

"It is very important to use it as a tool instead of as a shackle to restrain yourself. Son, I hope you can keep it in mind."

"I do not quite understand……"

The hero on the mountain blew out a smoke ring and said:

"You are very good. Everyone praises you highly and regards you as their supporter. Naturally, you feel very happy and have a sense of accomplishment.
Gradually, this excellence becomes your obligation and the pressure on your shoulders.

If for some reason, you fail to meet everyone's expectations,

In the blink of an eye, they won't take you seriously. "

"No!" Tetsuya Yamama said, "My brothers are not that kind of people!"

"Hahaha!" The hero on the mountain laughed and reached out to stroke his son's hair:
"After all, you still haven't grown up, Tetsuya~"
