The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 02]

Chapter 254 - A Common Enemy

Yuta Genjira looked at Ryoma and the two Leaf ninjas standing near him. Seeing their expression he realized it. 'They know... No. They don't have any proof. Father destroyed all evidence of my survival. I can't let my plans fall here.'

Yakumi and Yamaha looked at their father as the drama unfolded on the other side. "Let's hang back and watch. I have a feeling things are about to get interesting." Yamamoto said as he looked at the mediator and then to Yuta Genjira.

Ryoma looked at the stunned Yuta and explained. "If you're wondering what's in the file, I'll tell you. It's information on another company that in a few years could become as large as Satoru or the Rising Sun corporations. The 'Silver Wood Logging company.' Led by a man named Fujin Ginma. It's a company that's been competing with the two for several years now and they've been gaining ground fast. Have any of you ever wondered how that is?" He asked everyone present in the room.

The members of the Satoru family were surprised and turned to Yuta in anger.

"You see, almost 10 years ago Fujin Ginma lost his son in a tragic fire accident. At least that's what everyone believes. But the interesting thing is his dead son's facial features are almost similar to yours. After taking a closer look at your picture I realized that you also somewhat resemble Fujin Ginma. Now I find it hard to believe that someone who has facial features similar to Ginma's dead son is a close confidant of Tsuyoshi's youngest son. Coincidence?"

"That's it? That's your proof? Of course it's a coincidence. Yuta! Say something. Tell them that it's a mistake." Yusuke grabbed and shook his friend.

Yuta gave a nervous smile and looked at everyone. "Yes! This is all a misunderstanding. What reason would I have to betray my friend? I'm not even part of the company. And I'm certainly not an enemy."

Yusuke agreed and looked at Ryoma with anger. "That's right. He's been my friend for almost 10 years. He has no reason to do anything that would harm us. You're mistaken. You have the wrong person. Unless you're trying to tell us that he became my friend just to sabotage my family company at just 12 years of age..."

Ryoma chuckled and everyone turned their attention to him. "That's exactly what I'm saying."

Tsuyoshi sighed and looked at the mediator. "That sounds a little far-fetched."

Ryoma nodded his head. "Yes. I agree. If I only had this as my evidence I would have just considered it a big coincidence and ignored it. But my guards had confirmation that it was him who sent the message to the enemy shinobi who wanted to kill me. I believe them a lot more than I do him."

Yusuke was getting angrier and so was Yuta. "You have no solid proof of your accusations. What you have is-"

"What if there is proof?" Ryoma's question quieted everyone. "Not of your attempt on my life. I already have proof of that but what if there is proof that you're Ginma's son?"

Yuta clenched his fists and became silent. 'No. There is no way he should know about...'

The mediator continued. "Ginma's son was in a Fire accident. That was true and there were witnesses that said he had a burn scar in the shape of a star on the right side of his chest. About 4 or 5 inches big. Would you mind removing your shirt for us?"

Yuta stood still. He had been careful for the past 10 years to never show his scar to anyone.

"If you're not going to, then my guards will be forced to do it." The mediator said with a cold edge.

"No. Stop!" Yuta clenched fists and shook his head. 'I've been beaten.'

"There's no need. I have a burn scar on my right chest as you said." Yuta admitted with a defeated sigh because he didn't want to face further humiliation. 'Damn it. To think that years of my planning would fail here of all places.'
