Chapter 1:Loading Traits, Too Many Brother-Complex Sisters
Demolition?
Jiu Shi Yu stared at the coldly beautiful older woman before him, his brow furrowing slightly.
"That's correct. The Yukinoshita Conglomerate requires this plot of land."
"Once this dilapidated orphanage is demolished, we will construct a shopping mall here. The revenue it will generate for the surrounding area is beyond your imagination."
Awashima Seri regarded the handsome young man indifferently.
Her words dripped with an arrogance that felt distinctly uncomfortable.
She spoke as if his orphanage were nothing but trash awaiting disposal.
"Mr. Jiu Shi Yu, you're still a second-year high school student, aren't you..."
"Holding onto this orphanage will do nothing for your future."
"Instead, the Yukinoshita Conglomerate can offer you a generous settlement. More than enough to ensure your comfort after relocating the remaining residents."
Awashima Seri's fingers brushed lightly against the long sword at her waist.
Even in this dangerous world, bearing arms remained the exclusive privilege of the powerful.
Her tone, like her posture, carried an undeniable, razor-sharp authority.
"The rest of my life..."
Jiu Shi Yu felt a brief wave of dizziness.
He'd already spent over a decade in this comprehensive anime world.
At seven, his biological father in this life passed away. Amid the shock, Jiu Shi Yu's memories from his past life awakened.
Along with a cheat known as the Trait System.
He'd refused to be taken in by his mother's family, the Suou Clan. Instead, he chose to inherit the orphanage his father left behind.
Over the years, Jiu Shi Yu had earned some money through the classic transmigrator skill—plagiarism.
He'd also adopted several homeless young girls.
Watching the orphanage grow livelier, more vibrant, filled him with a deep sense of fulfillment.
Ten years. This place had become a true home for him and his sisters.
Take the money and leave?
Impossible.
"The Yukinoshita Conglomerate..."
The Yukinoshita Conglomerate wielded immense influence in this nation.
It was no less powerful than his mother's Suou Family.
In fact, it ranked among the top ten conglomerates.
And Yukinoshita built its empire on real estate.
Everyone knew the real estate industry danced with both the underworld and the elite.
Without absolute strength, no one could rise to become a premier real estate giant.
He could tell as much just from this coldly beautiful woman, Awashima Seri.
They knelt opposite each other.
Her posture was ramrod straight, her entire presence like a blade sheathed in silk.
She was undeniably a master of the sword.
"As expected of the Yukinoshita Conglomerate, led by the iron-fisted Mrs. Yukinoshita."
Rather than accepting demolition money, Jiu Shi Yu envisioned a far more perfect solution.
One that would guarantee comfort for the rest of his life!
His mind conjured the graceful, luxurious figure of Mrs. Yukinoshita... and her two daughters.
'Where should I begin?'
As Jiu Shi Yu pondered, Awashima Seri produced an envelope and set it on the table.
"Mr. Jiu Shi Yu, this is the demolition notice."
She rose, looking down at him.
"You have half a month to consider... The Yukinoshita Conglomerate is determined to acquire this land."
Blocked by her generous bust, Jiu Shi Yu had to tilt his head up to meet her unwavering gaze.
What should have been a negotiation felt more like a simple notification.
"Half a month..."
To Awashima Seri's surprise, a smile spread across Jiu Shi Yu's face. He stood and extended his hand.
"I'll make good use of that time."
Awashima Seri paused, thrown by his sudden shift in demeanor.
"I hope you make the right decision."
She dismissed it quickly. To her, Jiu Shi Yu was just a seventeen-year-old boy.
It was natural to compromise when faced with immense wealth.
Any normal person would.
Who wouldn't want to skip decades of struggle?
After shaking his hand, Awashima Seri turned and left.
Jiu Shi Yu watched the retreating back of the coldly beautiful woman, a flicker of joy in his eyes.
Just moments ago, the system's voice had echoed in his mind.
[Triggered Sword Technique Trait!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Golden Trait: Kamusari!]
[Congratulations for triggering the associated Trait: Conqueror's Haki!]
A Golden Trait!
Jiu Shi Yu was thrilled.
Trait rarities ranged from White, Green, Blue, Purple, Golden, to Red.
Traits triggered randomly through contact with others.
But the odds were unknown.
From his experiments over the years, he knew that more frequent and prolonged contact increased the chances.
The Traits' abilities often reflected the traits of the person who triggered them.
He'd grinded quite a few from the sisters he'd adopted over the years.
Most were no higher than Blue.
Before this, he'd only possessed one Golden Trait.
He never expected a fleeting handshake with Awashima Seri would yield another!
In his excitement, he blinked, realizing a crucial detail.
Not just one...
[Golden Trait] Conqueror's Haki: Innate kingly aptitude; can overwhelm enemies with aura and deliver tangible strikes!
[Golden Trait] Kamusari: Unleashes Conqueror's Haki as a shockwave!
"Two Golden Traits!"
"Awashima Seri is my goddess of luck!"
Recalling her cold, indifferent face, Jiu Shi Yu was overjoyed.
He decided then—once he took down the Yukinoshita Family, he'd reward her properly!
