Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 135: Prelude to the Counterattack

As for Kuroda's subordinates, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad that their boss stayed behind to oversee things.

The good news is that whatever the consequences of the afternoon's performance, they won't be blamed for it without any explanation.

The bad news is that Kuroda's decision to bring in these artists is really troublesome.

In order to curb Nakajima Hiro's arrogance, Kuroda did indeed go to great lengths, bringing in all the best artists available to him.

If a manager with whom you have a grudge finds out, there will definitely be problems.

The boss really acted impulsively. Although he wanted to put Nakajima Hiroshi ahead, did they expect to go back to the scene and see themselves being suppressed?

It really works.

After seeing off most of the supporting artists and male escorts and settling his own people, Nakajima Hiro changed his clothes and quietly returned to the scene.

Of course, he wasn't there to admire the results of his counterattack, but rather to see if he could gather more opportunities to strike at Kuroda in the afternoon.

Either avoid conflict with the enemy, or once a confrontation begins, it's a fight to the death.

Otherwise, if you hurt someone, they will recover and only become more aggressive.

Those portrayals of bullies who prey on the weak are often created in TV dramas to mislead viewers. Hopefully, honest people will know when to stop when they go to extremes.

Because bad guys usually take things into consideration, while honest people might not care if pushed too far, so for the sake of stability, the latter is the one who should be targeted with a gun.

Moreover, the way she acted arrogantly at first and then obsequious was very popular with viewers.

But if you believe that and expect to defeat bad guys with occasional forced hysteria and self-righteous righteousness, then I can only wish you were truly the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel.

Evil must be eradicated completely.

See, when it comes to themselves, they give a completely different story: they just hope the conflict can be kept under control and not do anything foolish.

Nakajima Hiroshi was well aware of this, and he quietly hid in the crowd, searching for any group that might belong to Kuroda.

However, compared to Kuroda, the scale of the event was indeed much more meager.

Asuka and Yukino are not suited to do this kind of thing; they both need protection.

The people on Misaki Tachibana's side are also unsuitable. Although the hosts are good at maintaining order, they lack understanding of the entertainment industry and have difficulty judging what constitutes a flaw.

Moreover, these people are conspicuous, with a large number of handsome men appearing. Even if Kuroda is stupid, he can guess that someone is causing trouble, and he will act more cautiously, which will only have the opposite effect.

As for those artists who received assistance...

Clearly, neither their identity nor their abilities make them suitable for fighting enemies.

So after much deliberation, I decided that I should take the lead myself.

That's how it is. Nakajima Hiroshi calmed himself down, concealed his presence, and silently observed the scene.

He didn't appear backstage because his agency's performance was over, and going back now would be considered an intrusion. Even if he made up an excuse, Kuroda would probably notice it very quickly.

Ok……

The two sides' combat resources are still too unequal.

Hiroshi Nakajima desperately wanted to develop.

We still need to look for more cooperation opportunities and expand our resources; perhaps broader support will be the key.

Soon, the opponents' formations began to appear.

The first thing that catches the eye is the lead car. They don't travel very fast; their purpose is more about showing off than anything else.

Staff members would even jog ahead to guide them.

The convoy was divided into two rows, forming an "X" shape, closely surrounding a high-end car in the middle.

Those who had been in charge of setting up the venue spread the word outside, attracting curious onlookers who gathered nearby.

No one knew who was in the middle of the car; they only knew that a big star had indeed appeared, and they unwittingly became part of the spectacle.

They whispered amongst themselves, creating a noisy commotion.

Some people started deliberately encouraging the audience to whistle and cheer, determined to create a lively atmosphere.

It's very strange...

But some people who were unaware of the situation actually got excited.

Who cares who it is? A big star has appeared, and I'm right there!

Many people had already taken out their phones, aimed them at the middle of the convoy, and were ready to take pictures.

The security personnel made a symbolic attempt to block them, but in reality they only approached and did not take any actual action.

Moreover, from this angle, you can't see anything at all. Even those in the front row can only capture some of the convoy, while most people can only be seen in the crowded backs of their heads.

Just like those fools who go on vacation during the holidays.

"Click".

The lead vehicles opened their doors in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Then, the person closest to the back door stepped forward and carefully opened the door for the artist.

The other person quickly opened a sunshade umbrella to block the audience's view of the artist.

All people could see were her fair calves and a pair of eye-catching high heels.

Kuroda greeted him with a beaming smile, looking every bit like a reliable manager.

"What a lousy place this is."

"Kuroda, let me make this clear first, I'm just here to keep things going, don't expect me to go up and perform."

The celebrity addressed him by his surname, indicating they were quite familiar with each other, but their relationship wasn't close enough for them to actually help each other.

It was even a bit bad, but I had to come for some reason.

"Can."

Kuroda didn't care about the other party's attitude.

"After this, your job is yours to keep."

"That would be best."

"Don't worry, I always keep my word."

The artist snorted and stomped into the venue in her high heels.

However, the entourage did not enter together; instead, they stood guard at the entrance, forming two human walls to constantly announce to the onlookers that a celebrity was present.

That's how it is in our entertainment industry; we're afraid of being seen, yet we're also afraid of not being seen.

But no matter what, the foundation has been laid, and the word spread among believers that there are celebrities watching at Itomoriya. Such news has already spread like wildfire.

The client was very satisfied.

This setup is definitely much better than that of the relatively unknown Nakajima office.

Sakaki Geino is truly exceptional; large companies are the best!

And the price is so low.

Good quality at low prices, no wonder they've become so successful!

The head of the room was quite satisfied with his decision.

Wow, what a great deal!

Ok……

These are often called "attractive performers," but the client may not even know who the performer is, or even be sure if the performer is a famous actor.

But when you're out in the world, your identity is something you give yourself. If you put on a grand and imposing manner, then that person definitely has unique value.

Of course, our Mr. Kuroda wouldn't pass off inferior goods as superior ones. The ones who came were indeed former second-tier talents under his tutelage, who were quite famous and at least had their own fan base.

However, he doesn't have a deep bond with Kuroda.

She was handed over to the team after only a week under Kuroda's command, and her ability to fight her way out is largely due to her own efforts.

But the contract was in Kuroda's hands, along with those of the reserve players and Jingye.

The former determines whether she can negotiate prices, while the latter determines whether she will waste her current popularity if she cannot take orders.

So even if you don't have much of a relationship with Kuroda, sometimes you still have to comply with his requests.

This guy's style is well-known; he would rather freeze out and ruin any artist who doesn't obey him than let them go easily.

In Kuroda's words, if you give an artist a chance, there will be countless imitators who dare to challenge him.

Meanwhile, his subordinates began to move forward with the next steps.
