Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 685 - The Greedy Yasushi Ishimaru

Translator: Thyaeria

When Yu Omuri heard that Su Tao was willing to lend him money, he instantly felt relieved, so he gave a call to Natsuki Sakamoto, “You don’t have to worry about it. I have already found a solution to the problem.”

Letting out a sigh, Natsuki Sakamoto asked, “Omuri-kun, what method do you have?”

“We will go according to their request and pay. At the same time, we will request them to remove all your films from the shelves and stop the sales.” Yu Omuri solemnly replied before he continued, “I don’t mind your past, but I know that you’re still bothered by it. So if we can resolve this matter, we will be able to start a new life in China.”

However, Natsuki Sakamoto knew that Yu Omuri did not have so much money, so she asked, “Where did you get the money from?”

“I requested my salary in advance from Su Tao.” Yu Omuri revealed after a brief hesitation.

Hearing those words, Natsuki Sakamoto fell into silence before she said, “I’m sorry to put you in a difficult position.”

The role between Su Tao and Yu Omuri has changed. They’re no longer friends, but employer and employee. Hence, there’s a difference between borrowing money from a friend and your employer.

“Please don’t say that. You’re my girlfriend, and it’s natural for me to do something for you.” Yu Omuri smiled.

Natsuki Sakamoto instantly felt warm in her heart as she replied, “When we go to China, I will find a job. Consider that sum of money I borrowed, and I will pay it myself.”

Yu Omuri was briefly stunned upon hearing that before he solemnly said, “Natsuki-chan, I will be unhappy if you’re that calculative with me.”

Letting out a sigh, Natsuki Sakamoto bitterly smiled, “Omuri-kun, please don’t be mad. I hope that you can understand my thoughts.”

Yu Omuri knew that Natsuki Sakamoto was an independent woman, and seeing how firm she was, he took pity on her.

At this moment, his phone vibrated, so he glanced at the incoming message. It was a message from his bank that he had just received 20,000,000 yen in his bank account. Su Tao had borrowed the money from Ni Jingqiu, since he did not have a Japanese bank account. After all, the overseas transfer would take some time, and he knew that Yu Omuri urgently needed that sum of money.

“I have already received the money. Make an appointment with them, and we’ll pay them on the spot. At the same time, we have to get them to sign a contract that they will leave you alone.” Yu Omuri immediately told Natsuki Sakamoto.

Natsuki Sakamoto never expected that this matter would be resolved so easily. She let out a breath of relief. The reason why she chose to resign from the film industry was due to the dark past that she had to go through, and she did not dare to go through it again.

Furthermore, her father’s health has recovered, and she no longer had an urgent need for money. Hence, she did not want to step onto that path again. The reason why she told Yu Omuri about it was because she wanted to think of a solution with him, but she never expected that he would immediately look for Su Tao. Thus, she wasn’t exactly in a good mood.

After all, Su Tao has helped her too much, and she was somewhat afraid of seeing Su Tao.

Generally speaking, film companies would respect the actresses’ choice and no longer bother them after their contracts were fulfilled. However, the company that Natsuki Sakamoto joined was backed by the Yakuza, and they had some influence in Kyoto. In the pornographic film industry, they practically reigned supremacy. Furthermore, Yasushi Ishimaru has abused his authority and did many things that went against the rules.

There was once at time where an actress performed too badly on a film that resulted in the loss of money for the company. In the end, under Yasushi Ishimaru’s coersion, that actress was sent to a nightclub, but that particular actress committed suicide due to the pressure and left behind a suicide note to reveal Yasushi Ishimaru’s unethical conduct. However, the company was too powerful, and Yasushi Ishimaru was also a veteran, so it was covered up.

Giving a call to her previous manager, Yasushi Ishimaru, Natsuki Sakamoto said, “We will go according to your request and pay the money. But you guys have to provide a contract that you will never interfere in my life anymore.”

Yasushi Ishimaru was briefly stunned upon hearing that before he asked, “Am I hearing this correctly? That’s 20,000,000 yen, and not a single yen can be missing!”

“You will know if we’re lying when we meet up.” Natsuki Sakamoto calmly replied.

“Alright, I’ll send you the address.”

After the call ended, Yasushi Ishimaru sent the address to Natsuki Sakamoto.

Yasushi Ishimaru’s suspicion wasn’t unfounded since actresses did not have a high salary in this industry. Generally, for those popular actresses, their remuneration for a film would hover around 100,000 yen to 1,000,000 yen. Ordinary actresses would only get about 10,000 yen. Natsuki Sakamoto had filmed in nearly 400 films, and she had ten-odd of those who were really popular. So that meant that her total income would be somewhere around 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 yen.

So for her to take half of that sum out to pay didn’t make sense to him.

Sitting in the chair, Yasushi Ishimaru glanced at the two people by his right and smiled. “I have already made an appointment with Natsuki Sakamoto. In just a while, the two of you will be able to experience the joy of being the male protagonists in the film.”

It wasn’t unusual for Yasushi Ishimaru to encounter customers who would want to act as the male protagonists with an actress of their choice. Generally speaking, those people would have to pay a certain sum, and their faces would be censored out, or only a part of their body would be revealed.

However, he was surprised since the two of them requested for Natsuki Sakamoto, and they even offered 5,000,000 yen as sponsorship.

The profit of a film would only be roughly a few million, and this was a pure profiting transaction. But the problem lies in the fact that Natsuki Sakamoto has already announced her retirement, so Yasushi Ishimaru had to find an excuse to force Natsuki Sakamoto to make another film. If Natsuki Sakamoto was unwilling, then he could only use some special means.

But he was surprised that Natsuki Sakamoto was actually willing to pay that sum of money.

However, he had already sorted out his thoughts. Later, when they meet up, he would clearly state the matter and only request for her to take part in one film. Not only did she not have to pay 20,000,000 yen, but she could also get 1,000,000 as her remuneration for it. He believed that Natsuki Sakamoto would definitely change her mind.

He had seen many actresses in this field. Although they might be rejectful in the beginning when they came in contact with this industry, they wou;d ultimately get used to it.

In his view, actresses stripping their clothes and opening their legs to moan wasn’t much different from those sales assistants constantly promoting their products to customers in a cosmetics store.

Many actresses would want to extend their contract with the company, but the company would instead prefer new faces.

But for Natsuki Sakamoto, who had created multiple popular films, the company was definitely willing to extend their contract with her. But sadly, Natsuki Sakamoto was firm in her decision and refused the extension of the contract even when they offered the highest remuneration. In the end, they could only give up on a money-making machine like her.

The two who came to be sponsors for Natsuki Sakamoto’s new film were Naoto Ohshima and Shin Nomura. After the Vice President, Oida Yoshimaru, was taken away for investigation, Yuji Ohshima became the most popular candidate for the next President in the hospital. Hence, Shin Nomura wanted to curry favor with Naoto Ohshima. He knew that Naoto Ohshima was interested in Natsuki Sakamoto, so he looked for the previous company that she was in and found Yasushi Ishimaru.

Naoto Ohshima showed such a great interest in Natsuki Sakamoto that he even went as far as paying 5,000,000 yen as sponsorship, which made even Shin Nomura feel shocked.

Furthermore, Naoto Ohshima had paid 2,000,000 yen in advance, causing Yasushi Ishimaru to treat him as a VIP customer and was given the highest treatment.

The two of them entered a black vehicle under Yasushi Ishimaru’s arrangement and arrived at a yacht club near the coast.

Naoto Ohshima narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yasushi Ishimaru and pointed at a yacht. “That wouldn’t be the location for the film, right?”

“Here’s the plot of this film. The yacht will head a certain distance to the west and enter the international waters to film. As you know, this industry is competitive, so we need to be innovative to attract viewers. Furthermore, the actress is Natsuki Sakamoto, who had once created popular films, so we paid special attention to our production.” Yasushi Ishimaru smiled.

Holding onto his chin, Naoto Ohshimaru smacked his lips. “I like this idea. Do I have any lines to say?”

“There isn’t; you just have to perform your best!”

Yasushi Ishimaru intended to cut out most of their scenes. In the past, he had also received many sponsorships, but they were all unnatural towards the camera. So there was a limit even if they wanted to perform their best.

Looking at Naoto Ohshima’s bald head, he also predicted that Naoto Ohshima’s ability would also be limited in the bed later.

Naoto Ohshima and Shin Nomura went up the yacht together, where someone had already prepared food for them. The two of them ate as they chatted, and a brief moment later, the camera staff came to set up the cameras. Seeing the cameras, Naoto Ohshima suddenly felt nervous and he wanted to urinate. Hence, he went on the deck and released it into the sea.

Looking at Naoto Ohshima, Shin Nomura nearly laughed out since Naoto Ohshima’s tool was a little too small. If he really performed later, it would definitely pose a great difficulty for the cameramen.

Roughly an hour later, a cab drove over and Natsuki Sakamoto came out first with two men following after her.

Looking at the two men, Yasushi Ishimaru knitted his brows since he never expected that Natsuki Sakamoto would bring reinforcements with her.

“Get some knights over. I’m afraid that they’re trying to cause trouble here.” He instructed the two men behind him.

In Japan, the Yazuka did not like the title of the violent organisation, and they would rather call themselves chivalrous and righteous knights.

Su Tao’s existence has boosted Natsuki Sakamoto’s courage, since she had once witnessed how he beat up the entire Azure Wolf Group alone.

Su Tao had no choice but to come since Yu Omuri was someone that he managed to poach with great difficulty.

However, that fellow wasn’t sly when it came to handling stuff, and Su Tao was worried that something might happen to him. Hence, he offered to follow them to the negotiation as well.

Yasushi Ishimaru squinted his eyes. He had already decided that even if Natsuki Sakamoto was willing to pay him, he must get her in this film by hook or by crook.

Trekking in society, one had to pay importance to their integrity. Since he had already taken Naoto Ohshima’s sponsorship, he would have to help him in fulfilling his dream. Otherwise, this path of making money would be closed to him in the future, and it wouldn’t be easy for him to earn some extra money.
