Chapter 176: The deal with the elders {176}
Keitaro looked at Gojo while Tsumiki refused to let go of him, he just kept her there before grinning and saying "Let them wait a little longer. They are all like old as heck anyway, I am sure a few hours won't change anything"
He wasn't wrong, some of those higher-ups were above 100 years old, from what he had observed, the one from the Kamo clan seemed able to live much older than usual.
Something to due with their blood, something like they take the blood of someone young and inject it into themself to replenish their body.
Gojo's grin matched his friend's. "I like the way you think."
This sounded fun to the sorcerer and thus he decided to just go with that idea.
Plus he had just come back to Japan, he was in no mood to deal with the higher-up bs.
So for the next hour or so, Keitaro spent time with the group, he enjoyed every simple moment.
They went to a nearby park where he watched mostly Tsumiki dragging Megumi around, it was pretty cute.
Especially watching Megumi summon a divine dog in order to find where Tsumiki was hiding.
All in all, it was fun, looking at Megumi and Tsumiki, Keitaro wanted to make sure that their lives were protected.
He would blame himself if something bad were to happen to them, he would not forgive anyone who hurt the people closest to him.
Mercy would not be a word in his vocabulary when he slew them, The Buddha may show them mercy but he was no Buddha.
All he wanted was for his friend and close one to live a full life, a life where they did not have to curse each other anymore.
A world where curse did no longer exist.
If he couldn't achieve that, then at least he would try his goddam hardest to guide anyone willing to take his help to the road of enlightenment.
After a bit, he made sure to drop the kids home, in order to make sure they were safe he left Akane with them.
With Akane's power now reaching the level of a special grade curse, she would give a hard time to anyone trying to take the kids away while she was protecting them.
Well dam she had grown, granted she was like 4 years old right now so it was expected.
She was about 4 tall when she was standing but when she sat down, she reached a height of about 5'8.
Some of her white furs seem to have turned slightly red over time, however, she looks quite happy to be summoned.
Upon noticing the cute creature, Tsumiki immediately hugged it, the fur on the Kitsune felt good.
"Take care of them while I am away," Keitaro said looking at his shikigami who just nodded at him.
With the kids safely dropped off, Keitaro and Gojo finally made their way toward the higher-ups of jujutsu society.
The journey there was filled with jokes and sarcastic remarks, all in all, it was just 2 friends goofing around.
As soon as they arrived at the meeting spot, the higher-ups wasted no time in greeting them and immediately went to the point.
"We require the recipe for your invention," one of the elders demanded, his voice flat and unyielding. "As your superiors, we expect you to hand it over without question."
Keitaro wondered if this higher-up was high, did he hear himself?
If they wanted to take it so badly why don't they come and get it?
He couldn't help but barely hold on a laugh at the mere thought of their greed, meanwhile next to him, his good old friend Satoru did not even try to hide it.
"Not even a hello, how are you, and you guys say I am brash" Gojo added wiping some tears from his eyes.
"This is none of your concern" One of the higher up added looking at Gojo.
"Do you want to risk it?"
The elder decided to shut up, the two of them looked close so there was no need to offend any of them.
"The recipe is mine. If you want more of the product, you will have to get it from me. I am not handing over the formula" Keitaro added in a soft voice.
One of the elders tried to take the moral high ground, his voice was dripping with self-righteousness. "As your superiors, we have the right to demand this from you. It's your duty to comply."
Keitaro placed a recipe in the middle of the room before opening his mouth and saying "Sure, try and take it and see what happens"
"Do you dare to threaten us!" One of the elders said to which Keitaro just smiled.
"Aw, where was that bravado from 10 seconds ago"
The elder stayed quiet as none of them really dared try and take it.
The two strongest sorcerers of the modern age were standing infront of them, what the fuck were they expected to do.
If those two wanted to, every who practiced jujutsu in Japan would be dead.
Suddenly an idea pops in their head.
He had a thing for the nurse right, if they were just to do that then...
"Oh by the way, if I were to find out you involved any of my friends in your scheme, let's just say the result wouldn't be too fun," Keitaro said politely.
They could read in between the lines...if they fucked up and hurt his friends. He would not hesitate to make their heads roll on the floor.
Some binding vows were made that day.
Alongside a deal....for 300 pills, Keitaro was allowed to take Ieri Shoko out of Japan for 300.
Those 300 pills were sold at a 60% off bonus.
In order to have a more favorable opinion of the Gojo clan.
Keitaro sold his stuff at a discount of 40% off for the Gojo clan.
He sold about 1,200 pills.
Amassed around 1,320,000,000 yen.
Could have made more but oh well, he was not trying to get money but to make those inventions of his more accessible to the common jujutsu sorcerer.
If he wanted to, he could have sold them for a way higher price, though the ones he gave to jujutsu high were free,
He had time to make about 3,000....yeah he was working overtime while he was still in England.
So, 1,200 were sold, 300 were sold at like 60% discount, and 1000 of them were again sold to the elderly specifically.
And the 500 creams of the top remaining were posted in a bid...last time he checked the bid went as high as 150 million yen, no it became 500 million...
That was to be expected after testing out the basic pills were so effective in training, that the cream of the cream was bound to have great potential.
A/N...
A teenage boy about 177 cm tall and possessing an athletic build was seen. He was seen wearing a dark green sleeping mask. His hair was dark brown, and he had black eyes with bright gold pupils.
"What is this place!" The boy said confused a bit, upon looking around he noticed three men looking at him.
"Takeo right?" The caramel skin one added looking at the boy.
"Y...yeah," The boy replied pointing at himself.
"Let's see if that's you, " The brown skin boy said before scanning his body.
"Let see, was born from the earth, trained in the art of magic, removed name from the book of death, eaten multiple immortal peaches, drunk multiple elixirs of immortality, burned at a furnace but made him stronger....got bored, went to fight dragons, beat down the welsh dragon and white dragon....jeez that a long list" He added.
"Had a relationship with a Kitsune..."
The boy started sweating a bit, he did not have any memory of that.
"Fought strongest dragon, sent to earth due to clash being strong, fought everyone on earth while injured....killed mostly everyone, killed god, only lost due to god sealing away.....woke up 400 years later and then proceeded to fuck the daughter of 2 people he had violated in the past....yeah that seems about right"
The brown skin boy said looking at his note.
"He sounds awfully like the monkey king"
"...Minato my friend, you are a walking example of what he is and yet you don't get it"
