America: My Time

Chapter 536 Vacation
Chapter 536 Vacation

John is about to make his move. Now is the time to stir things up and make those guys focus their attention on him again. A vacation on Lanai Island sounds like a great plan, but those with a keen eye feel that there must be something fishy going on behind the scenes, and they all want to know what's going on!

"Riko, do you know what Yasuko Sawaguchi's situation is like now? Have those guys already succeeded in their honey trap and given this beauty away again? Was it Sanwa that stepped in, or our Mitsui Toshiba?"

At this moment, Akio Morita thought of Yasuko Sawaguchi, wanting to know if those guys' operation had succeeded. However, the old man Akio Morita didn't believe that those guys only had Yasuko Sawaguchi as an option. These guys were too insidious, and their methods were extremely sophisticated. Akio Morita even suspected that in such a long period of time, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi had no choice but to compromise and give up. Even with the First Bank as its backing, the Seibu Group couldn't withstand the pressure of so much power.

Faced with absolute power, even if Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is fond of women and arrogant, he wouldn't dare offend so many people. Moreover, there's also the hidden opinion of the Japanese government behind this. It's impossible for the First Advisor to stand against everyone for the sake of a woman; the price to pay would be too high.

"I don't know either. It's been quite a while since Naoko retired and returned to her family. Kuroki Hitomi has also changed and no longer makes public appearances. At most, she's just helping Mr. John arrange accommodations for a few women. So I don't know what's going on there. If it's successful, it's definitely inseparable from Kuroki Hitomi, the beauty from Takarazuka. She's the bridge between the two sides!" Riko knew nothing about this matter. Even if Riko wanted to ask, it would be difficult, as it was a private matter, and doing so would easily displease Naoko.

“That’s true. Only the parties involved know about such things. If they have any agreements between them, they naturally won’t be exposed in a short time. However, have you noticed any changes in Yasuko Sawaguchi recently?”

Unable to determine the exact cause directly, Akio Morita immediately considered seeking answers from other angles. If Yasuko Sawaguchi had changed in recent times, it meant that her seduction scheme had succeeded, and this beauty from Toho had been delivered to John's side. If not, then everything was still in progress.

Faced with Akio Morita's sudden question, Riko shook her head and said, "I haven't noticed any changes in Yasuko Sawaguchi during this time. Relatively speaking, there have been some changes on Akina Nakamori's side. Her family members are stirring up trouble again, forgetting Mr. John's warning, and doing those foolish things again, demanding money from Akina Nakamori. This family is beyond saving. They are too greedy and too ignorant. If they continue like this, I'm afraid there will be big problems!"

"That's right. It seems those guys from Mitsui Fudosan have made their move. Otherwise, do you think Nakamori Akina's family would dare to do something like this? They are indeed very greedy, but they also know how vulnerable they are. Only the temptation from those guys from Mitsui Fudosan could make them ignore John's warning and continue to cause trouble. These guys are really stupid to the extreme. For money, they can even abandon their own daughter. They can't possibly not know how much this will affect Nakamori Akina!"

Upon hearing Akio Morita's words, Riko couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for Akina Nakamori. What kind of family was this? Apart from her mother, who treated Akina Nakamori well, everyone else only saw her as a cash cow, completely disregarding her life, death, and future. Perhaps from the moment they betrayed Akina Nakamori, the affection in their hearts had long since vanished, replaced only by greed. This was perhaps the wickedness of human nature.

In Japan, this kind of thing happens every day. Countless similar things happen in the entertainment industry. Many people sell their children in order to escape poverty. I did the same thing back then!
"Are you worried about Nakamori Akina? Are you worried about Naoko?" When he saw Riko's change, Akio Morita glanced at her without showing any kindness. To Akio Morita, this was not worth his attention at all.

Riko dared not deceive Akio Morita, and nodded, saying, "Yes, if this continues, it will have a great impact on Akina Nakamori, and may even affect Naoko, since Mr. John now has quite a few more beauties around him!"

“I told you long ago, Naoko will be fine. Even if John has many beautiful women around him, it won’t affect Naoko. Haven’t you noticed the difference between them? Naoko has shares in TV Tokyo, as do Nakamori Akina and Kuroki Hitomi. But which of these later women has such shares? So they are different. You don’t need to worry. On the contrary, this is the result that little fox John wants to see most. If the situation is calm, how can he see the problem? How can he know who is plotting against him? Stirring up trouble, a good tactic. Just the news of a vacation is enough to get everyone moving. If they don’t act now, they’ll miss their chance. Elite Agency has so many idols, so many beauties. Can only three idols rise to the top?” The old man, Akio Morita, also knew about the situation at Elite Agency and that John had three more beauties around him: Kikuchi Momoko, Moritaka Chisato, and Nakayama Miho. Therefore, he didn’t think that this would cause any problems or have any impact on John. It was all part of that little fox’s plan.

By stirring up trouble and luring the snake out of its hole, the little fox can see through the hidden enemies and discover who is plotting against it, allowing it to react accordingly.

"Wait. From now on, don't contact Naoko again, and don't take any action. We'll pretend we know nothing about this. We can't let that little fox John think we've done anything wrong behind the scenes. Whoever is behind all this, Sony absolutely cannot get involved!" Akio Morita quickly warned Riko, not wanting to get involved in this matter or be targeted by that little fox John.

At this point, Akio Morita's choice was undoubtedly the most correct. He had no designs on John's company, so there was no need to risk testing it out, which would only put him in danger. As for the choices of others, that was their own business. When these bastards excluded the old man Akio Morita from their actions, and when Akio Morita understood their calculations, he was no longer willing to stand with these guys, lest he be used as cannon fodder.

Akio Morita understood the treachery and cunning of those guys, so he never trusted them. Even Mitsui was scheming against him and didn't consider him one of the family. You can imagine what the others thought, especially that bastard Sanwa, who was allied with him but ended up scheming against him. How could Akio Morita accept that?

Now that John has begun his actions and is fully prepared, the best option is to turn a blind eye, to remain completely uninvolved in all of this, and to let the two sides fight it out on their own. Whoever emerges victorious will depend on their respective methods.

"Aren't you surprised? Why did you do this? Sending you all to Lanai for a vacation while giving the Phoenix Group people a break? Why the rush?" On the plane, John smiled calmly at the puzzled Naoko and the others. He knew perfectly well what these women were thinking. After all, it was all too sudden. They acted so quickly after announcing the vacation, giving everyone no time to prepare. And that was John's intention. Only by catching them completely off guard could he create panic and draw their attention to Lanai.

Those guys from Japan want to scheme against me? They're overthinking it. Do they really think I'm completely unaware of their schemes and their treacherous ambitions? Right now, these guys are at their most arrogant and powerful. John has always been on guard against these bastards. He knew they would try to ambush and plot against him. Do they really think I've been swayed by a woman's scheme, that accepting Yasuko Sawaguchi will slow down my plans? They're far too self-righteous and arrogant.

“It is indeed unexpected, but we know you have your own ideas. These are not things we should interfere with or care about!” Although Naoko was somewhat surprised, she made the right decision for a Japanese woman returning to her family: to ignore these matters completely. She knew that these were not things she could participate in.

"It's nothing, just some business planning. Don't worry, it won't affect you at all. You just need to enjoy your vacation and relax without any burden. This has nothing to do with you. It's a good opportunity for you to learn about Lanai Island and get familiar with the situation here!"

It's already late September, and John has to take action. Only by taking action himself will those guys focus their attention on him, allowing his plan to succeed and get Jaguar Security to take over the safe house and begin operations. This is no small matter, and such an operation takes time.
