He got out of the car and came to a huge, rusty warehouse.
As he approached, the heavy iron door slid open smoothly and silently, like a high-tech facility's gate, revealing a world completely different from the outside.
The interior space is huge and empty, the lights are bright but cold, and the floor is a spotless polished concrete floor.
Twelve burly, bear-like figures stood motionless in the center like statues. They were dressed in the most advanced black tactical equipment, and just by standing there, an aura of grim determination honed from countless life-or-death battles swept over you.
The leader, wearing a distinctive skull tactical mask, stepped forward and gave a brief, forceful report:
"Sir!"
The moment he finished speaking, the twelve men, including him, moved in unison and gave Fujiwara Seiji a simple and standard military salute.
The absolute obedience and immense power contained in those actions made Seiji Fujiwara once again marvel at the terror of the system's rewards.
He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was asking the system, "Where did they come from?"
The cold, impersonal system interface unfolded in his mind.
[The system is currently "anchoring your reward to reality"... Anchoring complete.]
[Source Justification]: This system has constructed a complete and untraceable backstory for you. Over the past five years, through a Ghost Trust fund in Liechtenstein that you control, this system has secretly recruited and funded this elite squad known as "Ghosts."
[Loyalty Anchoring]: All members have undergone a systematic "memory reshaping." In their minds, you are their only and supreme "employer" and "benefactor." They "remember" that your foundation has saved their or their family's lives multiple times. Their sole purpose in existence is to await your appearance and to be loyal to you to the death.
[Social Relationship Anchoring]: All relevant bank records, employment contracts, and operational instructions have been generated and embedded in a global network. Your relationship with the "Ghost" team is unbreakable and logically consistent in any intelligence agency's database. You are now their legitimate and sole commander.
Seiji Fujiwara understood.
The system rationalized the origins of this mercenary group and locked in their loyalty.
He raised his eyes to look at the captain of "Ghost," showing no fear, and calmly issued his first order:
"Report the situation."
Without the slightest hesitation, "Ghost" immediately handed him a military-grade tablet computer. The screen did not display a specific target, but rather a dynamic briefing titled "[Tokyo Area Security Environment Assessment Report]".
“Sir,” Ghost’s voice was cold and efficient, “based on your area of activity, we have conducted a preliminary assessment of the security environment around you.”
He swiped the screen, and a detailed map of Tokyo appeared, marked with data points of various colors.
"First, there's your personal security. Your current security team, in our view, serves only a ceremonial role. In the past twelve hours, we have identified and intercepted three groups of low-level surveillance targeting you, (bgcg) from two weekly magazines and a business investigation company. There are seventeen high-risk exposure points along your daily routes, and you are currently completely undefended."
Then, "Ghost" switched the map layer.
"Secondly, this is a real-time distribution map of Tokyo's underground forces."
On the screen, different areas were colored to represent the territories of various criminal organizations. Some key strongholds were even labeled with the names and photos of their leaders.
"The Shinjuku area is mainly controlled by the 'Kanto Alliance,' which is currently attempting to extend its reach into the financial sector. The small developer who previously harassed 'STARRY' in the Shimokitazawa area is backed by a third-tier group under the 'Kowloon Group.' This organization is currently in turmoil due to internal power struggles, and its external operations have essentially come to a standstill."
The level of detail in the intelligence was astonishing.
It is more than sufficient as a military strategic map.
“Sir,” the ghostly voice was devoid of any emotion, “Based on the assessment, the potential threat level around you is ‘moderate,’ and it will increase sharply as your business expands. We recommend that you immediately begin ‘purifying’ your activity environment, eliminating all known and potentially high-risk targets, and establishing an absolutely safe zone for you. Please issue the order.”
Fujiwara Seiji looked at the intricate power map, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The report records everything about the organizations: the flow of funds, the addresses of the leaders' mistresses, and even their secret illnesses.
An absolute information gap creates an absolute advantageous position.
“You’ve done a good job, but there’s no need to clean up.”
Seiji Fujiwara pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Chaos has its uses. A completely 'clean' environment is actually detrimental to the growth of certain things."
He turned off the tablet and glanced at the twelve silent war machines in front of him.
"Your task is not purification, but control."
"I want this map updated weekly. I need to know every change of power, every shady deal."
He paused, as if remembering something, and added a sentence.
"The guy from the Kowloon Group who's specifically in charge of harassing Shimokitazawa Livehouse, give me a detailed file on him. He doesn't need to disappear; just use ordinary threats to make him back down."
"Yes, sir."
The twelve voices, like the echo of one person, stirred a deep resonance in the empty warehouse.
Seiji Fujiwara turned and walked outside.
From this day forward, he will no longer be merely a socialite with wealth and talent.
He possessed his own armed forces.
Once a chess piece possesses power, it leaps off the chessboard and becomes the player.
……
……
time flies.
It has been half a month since the "Shelter" performance that made the "Unity Band" famous.
In the past two weeks, the lives of the Ijichi sisters have undergone tremendous changes.
Under the comprehensive guidance of Seiji Fujiwara, older sister Hoshika runs "STARRY" with great success.
The Livehouse, once on the verge of bankruptcy, has now become a highly sought-after independent music mecca in the Shimokitazawa area. She has also transformed from a down-on-her-luck store manager burdened with debt into "Miss Star Song," admired by countless underground bands.
Her younger sister, Nijika, followed Yamada Ryo on an unstoppable "experience tour" to various venues in Shimokitazawa. Her soulful and powerful drumming earned her the reputation of a "genius drummer" and countless enthusiastic fans.
The two sisters are making great strides in their respective careers, basking in the joy of realizing their dreams step by step.
However, beneath this seemingly bright and beautiful dream lies a shameful secret known only to them.
Every night, when all is quiet, they would offer their bodies to the same man at different times, in different places, and in different ways.
They all carefully guarded this unspeakable secret.
Both felt that they were the great "sacrificers" who had borne everything alone for their family and dreams, and at the same time hoped that the other would never know this secret.
But there are no eternal secrets in the world.
Seiji Fujiwara is going to reveal the secret himself.
……
……
In a luxury apartment in a prime location in the heart of Tokyo.
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Spencer Eriri live here.
At this moment, the two were wearing sexy silk pajamas, lazily snuggling on either side of Seiji Fujiwara.
Shi Yu was browsing the latest fashion news on a tablet, her wine-red eyes sparkling slightly.
“Hey Seiji,” Shiyu put down her tablet and said lazily, “what are you trying to do by calling those ‘rock sisters’ over here? Are you finally tired of this ‘deceiving your superiors and subordinates’ game of having an affair, and you’re ready to confront them?”
Seiji Fujiwara smiled but did not answer.
"A showdown?" Eriri, who was standing nearby, immediately sat up upon hearing this, her face showing an expression that suggested she was enjoying the drama. "Really?! That's going to be quite a spectacle!"
"Especially that older sister! Her name is... Xingge, right!"
Eriri said excitedly.
"I've met her once. That prickly, sassy attitude—she's a textbook example of a 'landmine woman'! If she knew that your sister had also been secretly taken advantage of... tsk tsk tsk, I can't even imagine it..."
As she spoke, she looked at Fujiwara Seiji with a gloating gaze, as if anticipating his tragic future of being torn to pieces by the enraged Hoshika.
Shiyu slowly shook her head: "Eri, you're still too naive."
"Given this man's style, do you think he would be unprepared?"
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Seiji Fujiwara.
"I bet you've come up with some horrible idea, haven't you?"
Seiji Fujiwara smiled but remained silent.
Just as Shiyu said, he specifically asked Xingge and Hongxia to come together today, intending to defuse the mines while also trying out new gameplay.
He'd been looking forward to having twin sisters for ages!
"Ding dong!"
Just then, the apartment doorbell rang.
Seiji Fujiwara gave Utaha an approving smile that said, "You guessed right."
"Alright, everyone, be quiet."
With that, Seiji Fujiwara got up and went to open the door.
……
……
The elevator outside the apartment building.
The Iji sisters walked in one after the other, and both of them were taken aback when they saw each other.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Thank you so much to "Quiet Don" for the monthly pass!
Chapter 119 Forcibly Defused the Minefield, Twin Sisters! (2/2)
“Sister…sister?!”
"Hongxia?!"
They stared at each other blankly, their minds in turmoil.
Why is my older sister (Nijika) here?!
This is clearly the place where Seiji Fujiwara and I... were doing our business!
Is it...
An utterly absurd thought simultaneously surfaced in their minds, and both of them suddenly changed color.
Ding Dong!
The elevator doors closed.
The two sisters remained silent, and the atmosphere became tense.
Until the elevator reached the top floor.
Xingge lowered her head, walked out first, and rang the doorbell.
Hongxia followed him out with a complicated expression.
"Here he comes."
Seiji Fujiwara opened the door, seemingly oblivious to the strange atmosphere between them.
He smiled and invited the two into the house, casually poured a drink, and handed it to Xingge, whose face looked unpleasant.
"Welcome, both of you. I've invited you here today to discuss a new 'business' deal."
He took out a new document and placed it on the table.
This is the Shimokitazawa Rock Alliance project that I mentioned earlier.
"This is the company's latest project proposal for the 'Shimokitazawa Rock Alliance'. Simply put, we plan to unite all the livehouses in Shimokitazawa around 'STARRY' and hold a large-scale new generation rock music festival next summer."
“And ‘Unity Band’ will be the main attraction of this music festival.”
"This will be a fantastic opportunity to move from the underground to the mainstream."
The two sisters instinctively turned their gaze to the documents.
But at this moment, they couldn't think about anything related to "career" or "dreams".
They glanced at the document, then looked away and stared intently at each other.
The air was silent.
In the living room, Shiwa and Eriri watched the spectacle without saying a word, their smiles beaming.
