“Well, I’m here today to talk about that family’s issues,” replied Gerald as he lit a cigarette.

“…Oh? You have relations with other families here?” asked Derrick who thought that Gerald only knew him in the entirety of Japan.

“The whole story is pretty complicated to explain in just one sitting, but essentially, I’m here to ask if you’re willing to lend the Futabas a hand to help them get through their current crisis,” replied Gerald.

“Well, consider it done!” replied Derrick without even thinking twice.

“Just like that? Aren’t you worried that I’ll use this against you?” said Gerald with a chuckle.

“Oh please, you saved my life back then! So what if you take me down? Hell, I wouldn’t mind giving you my position! Regardless, do tell the members of the Futaba family to come over. I just so happen to have a few suitable contracts for them. While I was initially thinking of giving them to one of my newly acquired companies, I guess the Futabas will be getting them now!” replied
