Chapter 9 – Suppression

It would be quite difficult to drive out ten intruders.

After all, he only had three people in his group.

The studio was quite large, so it wasn’t cramped with ten people, but when there were a number of men with good physiques and unfriendly looks, the feeling of intimidation was incredible.

If it wasn’t for Aire’s powerful bodyguard, Wataru would have cowered at this point.

Aire calmly assessed the strength of the ten men and was ready to move at a moment’s notice.

When it comes to battle, Aire is more serious and earnest than anyone else, and she doesn’t allow even a hint of doubt to creep in.

The presence of Aire on Wataru’s back is more reliable than anything else.

The great Yamazaki let out a lewd grin that seemed to confirm his superiority.

To be honest, it was unpleasant to see that dirty old man’s lecherous smile.

“We came all this way. Don’t make us go home empty-handed.”

“I don’t mind if you leave now, but I want to save the face of the person who introduced us.”

“Hehehe, you’re a reasonable guy.”

Wataru and the others faced Great Yamazaki and his group across the only table in the studio.

There were only three of them, and two of them were good-looking girls, so the overwhelming feeling of intimidation was different.

“Let’s get one thing straight. Great Yamazaki-san, I have no intention of showing you the potion unless you are alone. I will insist that you keep this prior promise.”

“You’re so tense. Well, let’s put that aside for now. I have a request. I want to get involved in your business. Your business is wonderful. Of course, I have a reward in mind.”

“A reward?”

“If I help you, I can put you in touch with players all over the world that you’ve never been able to reach before. You might even get in touch with Jack or Woods.” [T/n: Probably Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.]

“…I don’t think it matters because I think this potion will get a lot of attention when the time comes, and I think offers will come from all over the world on their own.”

“Even so, if you have introductions, the length and speed of your reach will be completely different.

“Even with the small scale I have now, I’m already having trouble keeping up with my product stock, so is that okay?”

It would be a lie to say that I’m not interested in the world’s top players, but there’s no need to push things now when I can’t even get the products together.

Yamazaki’s smile faded as Wataru’s short answer continued.

Nevertheless, he continued to list his conditions as if to maintain the appearance of a negotiation.

“I can be your backer if anything happens. As you can see, I have many reliable friends. I also have a lot of influence in the Association.”

“Oh, that’s fine too. If I get someone who can’t even keep his promises to back me up, I’d be afraid of getting shot in the back.”

“Hey, I’m making these suggestions for your own good, so what’s with the attitude?”

“”That’s right!””

When his cronies began to speak at once, Mariel flinched and stepped away.

Aire’s eyes grew sharp, and she lowered her center of gravity slightly.

“Let me ask you something. How much of the take were you planning to ask for under these conditions?”

“Sixty percent. Isn’t that cheap?”

“Sixty percent for me?”

“No, you get forty. Isn’t that a good deal? I think you’ll want to cooperate.”

“”That’s absolutely right! You’d be wise to nod your head quickly.””

“…So the negotiations have failed.”

Mariel was the first to move at Wataru’s glance.

Mariel, who had kept her distance as if frightened by the commotion, aimed at the light switch.

Wataru had mentioned earlier that the rented studio had mirrors on all the walls.

In other words, there were only a few windows to let in natural light, and even those were blocked by thick curtains.

The moment Mariel flipped the switch, the studio was plunged into darkness.

It was a darkness that didn’t even let in a little light.

The sudden change from the bright studio to total darkness meant they couldn’t even see the end of their noses.

The men panicked, and there was no time to turn on the lights on their smartphones.

“Whoa, what’s going on?”

“Is it a blackout?”

“Aire, don’t overdo it.”

“Yes.”

Aire replied to Wataru’s voice in a tone that was too light for the situation.

The Golden Tiger Clan inherits the superior abilities of the cats and the best aspects of human abilities.

In the darkness, Aire’s pupils dilated, and only her eyes shone.

Aire could clearly see the panicked figures of the men in the darkness.

Her excellent tiger ears allowed her to track the men’s location and movement, and her cat-like explosive power was explosively demonstrated in the studio.

“Whoa!”

“Gueh!” “Gyaaah!”

“H-hey, what’s wrong? Guhh…”

In the darkness, there were many screams and cries of pain.

The sound of people collapsing.

Shrouded in darkness as well, Wataru calmly waits for the time to come.

“Master, Mariel, it’s over.”

“Turn it on.”

“Yes.”

With the click of a light switch, the lights returned to the studio.

However, the scene had changed considerably.

All of the cronies except for Great Yamazaki had collapsed to the floor, groaning or unconscious.

“(No one exploded into pieces or turned their heads in strange directions… thank goodness.)”

The only thing he was worried about was Aire causing a terrible incident in a fit of rage.

However, as he had been told many times before, Aire seemed to be able to control herself exquisitely.

Great Yamazaki looked around in a daze, his eyes wide open in dismay.

“What on earth… what did you do?”

“We just let them sleep for a while.”

“Th-That’s ridiculous. There were ten of them. How could you do that in such a short time? Are you some kind of special forces or something?”

“Well, something like that. We knew the value of the product, so we expected that people like you would be attracted to it. I’m sorry we had to do it, though.”

“H-hey, you! Do you think you can get away with this? This is a serious assault!”

Oh, that’s how it is.

Wataru smiled bitterly.

Until a moment ago, he had been the culprit himself, but as soon as he was at a disadvantage, he pretended to be the victim.

The fact that he was able to do this so quickly showed that he was definitely experienced in this kind of situation.

He must have experienced similar situations many times before and gotten through them each time.

The only thing that was different was that there was overwhelming violence on this side.

“What are you going to do? You have ten people gathered to intimidate people, and you’re going to complain to the police? By the way, I’ve recorded everything you just said. I wonder what the police will decide.”

“Did you plan this from the beginning?”

“No. If you had just bought it normally, I wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble. You brought this on yourself. You’re the one who pushed your own agenda in the first place. I’m really not happy about this.”

It was very upsetting to be suspected like that.

The previously suppressed anger in Wataru’s eyes flared up.

This would be a good opportunity to teach the villain a lesson for doing whatever he wanted in the golf world.

“Or rather, do you think you’ll come out of this unscathed?”

“Huh? S-stop! Stop it!”

As soon as Wataru made a slight threat, Great Yamazaki suddenly became weak and looked around nervously.

Even though he was well-trained and had a large body, his own subordinates, who were also well-trained, were defeated in an instant.

He probably understood that there was no way he could win even if he fought.

“Please, a-as you can see, I’ll lower my head if you want. I won’t do anything else. I won’t interfere! I promise!”

“It’s too late for that.”

It was a brilliant act of self-preservation.

Did he continue to live his life like this, flattering the strong and frustrating the weak?

Looking at him, Wataru wanted to spit at him.

He felt really sick.

“Don’t worry. I’ve prepared many potions that work on acute injuries. Amazingly, if you don’t die, not even a single scar will remain. Even if you go to the hospital to get checked out, there won’t be any problem. …So I can beat you up without a care in the world, right?”

“P-please stop it!!!”

“Do it.”

At the short command, Aire began to move.

Great Yamazaki’s screams echoed, but the studio, which was equipped with soundproofing that could withstand intense exercise and played various types of music, did not leak any of it outside.

Acute treatment potions are considerably cheaper than chronic treatment potions in other worlds.

Let’s just consider it a necessary expense to protect themselves.

“Ahh, if I’m going to listen to it, I’d rather hear the screams of two cute girls than the screams of a dirty old man.”

“Master, you are going to punish me thoroughly tonight, aren’t you?”

“Yes, you better be prepared.”

He literally engraved it into Great Yamazaki’s bones so that he would never lay his hands on them again.
