Third person POV
Later, along the way to Tokyo by car, Akira said to Toshi, "Hey, Toshi-san, thanks for that. I am determined to do this dangerous mission."
"Yes, you're welcome, kid," Toshi replied while driving. "You must know and think like a gangster. Since it's an auction event, you must manipulate the price and make it as high as possible for the host to declare it as sold. You only have until Saturday afternoon."
Listening to him, Akira takes notes of the tactics and strategies in his notepad with a ballpoint pen.
Hachi took the entirety of the backseats.
"You got that?" Toshi asked Akira.
"Yes!" Akira replied back strongly.
"You don't have to be that loud."
"Sorry."
Later, at Toshi's house, in his shared bedroom, Akira was talking to his uncle Daniel through a video chat in his laptop.
"What do you want, Akira?" his uncle asked him. "You can ask me for anything."
"Um, I want a sword," answered Akira back, "but not just any sword, the one that is made of Damascus steel."
Because of that name, Daniel quickly orders that the window curtains of his bedroom to be closed and his two servants be out of his room.
His two servants did so, and they left his room and shut the door without question.
The reason why being is that Damascus steel's true, authentic recipe is supposed to be confidential.
"Okay, you want one?" Daniel asked his beloved nephew.
Akira then nodded to say yes.
"Okay then, if that's the case, then how much?"
"I don't know. I will be winning it in an auction event run by gangsters, so the price will be high, very high."
"I see. Sure, I'll give you access to my account."
"Tito, don't tell me it will be the money of the government. That's embezzlement."
"No, no, I'll be using my own bank account, of course."
"Okay then, thanks for everything. That will be held on Saturday this week."
"Yes, anytime."
Akira and Daniel then ended their conversation.
After that, Daniel gave out orders to one of his advisors to get one of his bankbooks and have it sent to Akira. His advisor did so in response.
A few days later, Akira received the bankbook at Toshi's house via a secured mail and takes a look of its content. He then saw that current balance of it stands at 103 billion pesos, indicating that Daniel was very rich. Hachi and Toshi are looking at it as well.
"Is uncle that rich?" Hachi asked.
"He's richer than I thought," Toshi added. "My parents' net worth only stands at 50 billion only."
"Yes, he is," Akira said to them in response. "In fact, he was a wealthy businessman before entering into politics."
Hachi and Toshi then get what he had said.
By the afternoon, at the Shibata Supernatural Agency, Akira was being trained on how to be an undercover gangster so he could win that Damascus steel-made sword. He was taught the tactics, behavioral strategies, and basically everything an actual gangster does. And then, he was given some fake tattoos on his back and arms so he could look like a legit yakuza gangster, much to his dismay. But, if he wants that sword, he needs to do it as a part of his disguise. At the same time, Daniel sent a letter to Akira's family in Okutama informing them of Akira's doing. His family then accepted it since they couldn't do anything about it and just wished Akira good luck instead.
