Chapters 1288 and 1297: Who said we were going to kill them?!
On his way home from get off work, Naoki Nagayama, sitting in the back of a Toyota Century, was flipping through a technology magazine. He has always been very interested in these trendy technological products.
"I wonder when small mobile phones will be available; those old-fashioned brick phones are just too heavy."
Just as I was thinking about it, the mobile phone next to me suddenly rang.
“Di li li li li”
Holding the bulky mobile phone in his hand, Naoki Nagayama pressed the green answer button:
"Moses, Moses, it's me."
"Naoki-san," Yoshimura Otomo's voice came through the cell phone, sounding somewhat surprised and helpless, "Something strange has happened."
"what happened?"
Naoki Nagayama knew that unless it was something very important, Otomo Yoshimura wouldn't call him directly unless it was something closely related to him.
"The news that Akina-chan is pregnant again has been leaked. The entertainment industry should know about it soon."
"what?!"
Naoki Nagayama had told many people about his wife's pregnancy, but they were all close friends and family; no one wanted to tell the media.
"what happened?!"
"Don't we have many informants in the media and paparazzi circles? Today someone told me that two paparazzi went to a private hospital to take photos, distracted the security guards, climbed over the wall, and even took photos of Akina Nakamori and Momoe Yamaguchi together."
"It's said that he even disguised himself as a patient to sneak into the hospital and try to find out that Akina was pregnant."
"."
Naoki Nagayama listened to Otomo Yoshimura's account with some surprise.
"It feels like we're filming a movie! Are those two paparazzi spies?! What are their names?"
It's often said that reality is more absurd than movies, and Naoki Nagayama, having made so many films, certainly seems to have realized that.
"The paparazzi are Tomohiro Ando and Ryuji Sakai. They've been located. Naoki-san, should we take them into custody?"
When Yoshimura Otomo said this, he sounded very serious, making him seem like some powerful villain.
"Ahem. They found the person directly and were actually able to take them under control?!"
Naoki Nagayama was shocked.
"Otomo-san, when did you become so incredibly powerful?!"
Is this really the Yoshimura Otomo I know?!
"Ahem, Naoki-san, there are some things you shouldn't ask so many questions about."
Yoshimura Otomo said vaguely.
"With such a large operation, isn't it perfectly normal for TreeFriends to have people planted in the media and paparazzi circles, and to secretly train some security personnel?"
The Nagayama Group has now disbanded. Most of the members who had been involved in the yakuza for many years received severance pay, returned to normal life, or joined other gangs.
However, there are always some people who are not used to the life of a working class. Since Yongshan Feng's KTV could not accommodate them, one person ended up in the hands of Shuyou.
That's how most of the fierce security personnel for celebrities on Tree Friends were recruited~
"Ahem. Otomo-san, please don't do anything illegal or criminal!"
Naoki Nagayama advised,
"Go and try to persuade those two guys first. We can pay them some money to buy the photos back."
"They've already sold it to a tabloid, and it should be printed by tomorrow morning."
"."
Wow, these two paparazzi are really something, they've really pushed things to the limit!
“Naoki-san, we have to teach these two guys a lesson. This time it involves Boss Shuyu’s wife. If we let them off easily, Shuyu will lose his prestige in the media circle.”
Yoshimura Daitomo continued,
"Then the paparazzi won't have to worry about the consequences and will boldly follow and photograph the celebrities who are friends with the tree, and even the media and newspapers may publish exposés. Even near the Yama-oka-in area."
Listening to Yoshimura Daitomo's words, it seemed as if Shuyou's brand would be lost if he couldn't give the industry a clear signal this time.
As expected, Otomo-san is the person in the company who values and cherishes the feelings of the tree friends the most!
"Alright, alright, then let's teach the media a lesson."
Naoki Nagayama nodded.
"But it's not worth killing someone over a matter of saving face; a little lesson will suffice."
"Hey!"
Yoshimura Hirotomo, still in his office at the Tree Friends Building, put down the phone, his expression one of utter surprise. He looked at Inada Masamitsu, who had been in the office the whole time, and asked:
"When did I say I was going to kill them?!"
"."
Masami Inada shook his head.
"Saying it was just to teach a lesson is probably a misunderstanding on Naoki's part."
"I knew it! How could Naoki-san just casually take someone's life? That's too much."
At this point, Yoshimura Otomo and Inada Masami were startled and exchanged glances, their eyes conveying the same meaning:
"Could it be that Naoki Nagayama has done something like this before?!"
Speaking of Naoki Nagayama, that's certainly a possibility. It seems like the incident where he went to Kobe to rescue his uncle caused quite a stir there, with many deaths and injuries.
He also often said things like, "Who should I send to the Tokyo Bay VIP lounge?"
And that cherry blossom tree in the Yama-oka-in courtyard looks rather strange, very much like the urban legend he mentioned about "burying your little finger under a cherry blossom tree."
Feeling a bit dry in his mouth, Yoshimura Otomo took a sip of tea, letting the warmth soothe his strange feeling.
"Haha, we were overthinking it. Naoki-san isn't that kind of person~"
"Haha, yes, yes," Masami Inada nodded repeatedly, "Naoki-san is clearly a warm-hearted and kind person!"
"Hahahaha~" X2
The two laughed awkwardly for a while, then Inada Masami coughed twice and asked:
"So how exactly should we teach them a lesson without causing any harm or loss of life, while also sending a warning to the media?"
Yoshimura Otomo stroked his chin:
"Let's follow what Naoki-san did before. What happened to that paparazzi who offended him at the wedding?"
"Ah, they are practicing at the Yongshan Family Temple."
Masami Inada lowered his voice and said softly,
"They still haven't been released!"
Paparazzi who offend the Yongshan family will be forcibly detained and forced to become monks at the Yongshan family temple. This is a terrifying legend in the paparazzi circle, and every paparazzi who enters the industry will be told this story by their seniors!
"If you dare offend the Nagayama family, you'll be forced to become a monk in a temple!"
It's like what adults often say to children when trying to put them to sleep: "If you don't sleep, the big bad wolf will come and get you."
In the office, Yoshimura Otomo put down his teacup, pondered for a moment, and slowly said:
"These two guys behaved much less aggressively this time. There's no need to make them actually become monks. That's all."
"Let's shave their heads as a warning!"
After listening, Masami Inada immediately nodded:
"Hey, you want me to shave my head bald? I'll have someone get it done right away."
Shaving someone's head bald, without causing injury or beating, is a very humiliating thing to do and is indeed a good way to warn them!
Moreover, even if the police are called, it would at most be considered a civil dispute, and the compensation would be limited to a wig.
A short while later, several bodyguards in suits came out of the Tree Friends Building, got into a van, stopped briefly at the department store, and bought a gleaming electric hair clipper.
On the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo, Michael Jackson's team chartered a whole carriage.
They could have taken a plane, but worried about being mobbed by fans and having them track them to their hotel, so a small group took the Shinkansen to Tokyo and will transfer to the subway later.
At this time, Michael Jackson had finished his concert in Osaka and was preparing to go to Tokyo to complete his last concert in Japan.
Originally, the team wanted to start the concert in Tokyo, but considering that October coincides with Japan's largest film festival, the International Film Festival, they decided to change the final stop to Tokyo.
Imagine the spectacle of Michael Jackson's concert coinciding with the Tokyo International Film Festival, with countless foreign tourists and Michael Jackson's fans gathering in one city!
This October, Tokyo will become the city with the most celebrities, the most media exposure, the most tourists, and the most vibrant and bustling activity in the world!
However, Michael Jackson didn't seem as energetic at this moment. He was wearing a sports jacket, looked listless, and even his originally dark skin appeared pale.
He had been performing in the rain a few days ago, and also suffered from acclimatization issues, so he had a fever.
"Michael~"
The assistants nearby brought anti-inflammatory medicine, fever reducer, and water.
"Take your medicine. Medical regulations are stricter in Japan, and painkillers are harder to find."
This isn't New York, after all, where fentanyl is rampant and you can buy any kind of powder.
I really miss America. There, I could take tons of painkillers and I wouldn't feel so energetic!
After Michael Jackson took the medication, he asked:
How much longer until we reach Tokyo?
"About two hours," the assistant glanced at his watch. "Then we'll head straight to the Imperial Hotel to rest."
Michael Jackson chuckled as he leaned back in his seat.
"I was planning to go shopping tonight, but unfortunately I'm not feeling well."
"It's okay, there's still time later."
The assistant said,
"Michael, you'll have more than two weeks of vacation after the concert ends."
"At that time, I wanted to go to Hong Kong."
"Let's explore Tokyo during the concert!"
The conversation between the two continued for a while, and Michael Jackson closed his eyes weakly. His assistant did not continue to speak and told him to go and rest.
But after waiting a short while, Michael Jackson suddenly spoke:
"Oh, right, I made plans with Akina and Naoki Nagayama to visit their home."
The assistant thought for a moment:
"You and Akina need to rehearse once before the performance, so you can go after rehearsal. Just a quick visit will do, right?"
"Rehearsal will probably finish in the afternoon, and we can have dinner in the evening."
Michael Jackson nodded in agreement.
"Then remind me when the time comes."
"Okay." The assistant nodded and then wrote down the to-do items in the itinerary.
the next morning.
The subway station was already packed with busy workers rushing to work, constantly navigating the steel network to make a living.
When passing by a convenience store in the subway station, some people will buy a rice ball for breakfast, some will buy a cup of coffee to perk themselves up, and some will buy a newspaper to pass the time on the subway.
Generally, people would choose major newspapers like the Yomiuri Shimbun or Asahi Shimbun, or at the very least, entertainment newspapers like the Tokyo Sports newspaper. But today, many people choose a smaller tabloid like the Tokyo Nikkan because of its cover.
"Is this... Akina Nakamori and Momoe Yamaguchi together?" "Is the location a hospital?" "Are they sick?"
Upon seeing the headline "Congratulations: Akina Nakamori Confirmed to be Pregnant Again!", readers exclaimed in surprise.
"Akina Nakamori is pregnant again?!" "Why haven't the other newspapers reported it? Is it true?!" "There are photos."
"It seems like the previous one was only a little over a year ago." "Is this the pace of having two children in three years?!"
"Whose is it this time?" "Baka! It's Naoki Nagayama's, of course!"
"Ha, who can say for sure!"
"."
Similar discussions began to circulate among office workers, and then quickly spread throughout Tokyo, with a tendency to spread to more distant areas.
After all, Akina Nakamori has been one of the most popular female celebrities in the past two years. Her every move can generate a lot of discussion, let alone major events like pregnancy and childbirth!
Meanwhile, Naoki Nagayama and Akina herself, located in Yamazakura-in, were also reading the newspaper.
"Wow, they actually got photographed!"
Akina looked at the newspaper cover with surprise. This newspaper was bought by Naoki Nagayama at a newsstand while he was jogging.
Although she knew she had been photographed last night, Akina still felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the photo.
In recent years, under the protection of the Tree Friends Group, no paparazzi have dared to take photos of her without her permission, because even if they are taken, they will not be published. So she has become much more relaxed when she goes out.
Unexpectedly, this time, someone actually ran straight into the hospital!
"We still need to be more careful in the future."
Akina sighed, not only for herself, but also for Natsuka, who was eating rice next to her.
"Be extra careful when taking flower jam out!"
"This also surprised me."
Naoki Nagayama said,
"When those two paparazzi were selling the photos, Mr. Otomo received the news, but he didn't have time to stop them. They actually sold them to the Tokyo Nikkan without even talking to Itsuki."
These small newspapers naturally didn't have any agreement with the tree-loving readers. Naoki Nagayama hadn't paid them any attention before, because there were so many small newspapers like the *Tokyo Nikkan*—the law couldn't be enforced against everyone.
However, this time, we cannot let it go. This could be a test by the media to see what Naoki Nagayama and his fans are up to, or perhaps there's someone else who's still holding a grudge.
“I’ve already had Otomo-san warn those two paparazzi,” Naoki Nagayama said. “As for Akina-chan, let Ken-on sue the Tokyo Nikkan and make them pay up!”
"Huh? They probably can't afford it, right?" Akina was a little surprised.
"This is to show an attitude," Naoki Nagayama said. "Whether we can afford it or not, we have to pay! Otherwise, we'll close down!"
"it is good!"
Akina naturally gave her husband complete support in this matter.
"Anyway, the news of my pregnancy can't be kept secret for long."
Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina and said,
"So this announcement is now official."
"Hmm~"
Actually, they planned to announce it after the concert or the film festival, since Akina has been on maternity leave for a long time and needs a reason.
This time it's considered ahead of schedule, right?
"By the way, concert rehearsals will be starting soon, right?" Naoki Nagayama said. "Have you made arrangements with Michael yet? Have you invited him over?"
"Mr. Terahina said Michael will come to Tokyo in early October."
"Ha! That's tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll invite him when we meet!"
Akina looked at Naoki Nagayama and smiled.
"Was Naoki with me during rehearsals? Will you continue doing translation?"
"."
Someone shook their head helplessly.
"This time it might not work; I can't leave TreeFriends Capital."
"Then I'll go alone!"
Akina is full of energy.
"Now that we know each other, I'm not afraid of not speaking English well!"
"hahaha"
