Keqin Exorcist Agency Is Mine!

In the morning, Shu Yunwen walked out of his house. Kojima Mie called out from behind him, "Yunwen-san, you must be polite when talking to people at the agency, understand? You must be respectful to your seniors. Yuan Ci-kun inquired, and the current president of the agency is Matsushita Heisaburo. He was a loyal subordinate to your father for many years, so you absolutely cannot be rude."

"I understand, Aunt Mie," Shu Yunwen replied. He went to the garage and got on his bicycle. He then bowed slightly and said, "I'm going to the agency now, Aunt Mie."

Shu Yunwen's father, Shu Keqin's Keqin Exorcist Agency, was located within Beika Town, near the Beika Central Building.

Next to the Beika Central Building stood an eleven-story building called the Gakuen Building. After Shu Keqin became successful, he rented the entire third floor, an area of about 2,400 square meters, as the agency's office. The words "Keqin Exorcist Agency" were written on the walls and windows of the third floor.

Shu Yunwen parked his bicycle in front of the Gakuen Building, secured it, and went inside.

After entering the building, Shu Yunwen went directly to the elevator and, upon reaching the third floor, walked to the agency's reception desk.

At the reception desk stood a woman who looked to be nearly thirty years old, but she was exceptionally beautiful, possessing a charm that could stir the heart. She was listlessly staring at the computer in front of her. Upon seeing Shu Yunwen, she quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, sir, how may I help you... Hmm? Uh... Ah? Keqin-sama? Hello, Keqin-sama!"

As she spoke, the receptionist bowed seventy degrees, her attitude extremely deferential.

Great! She's mistaken me for my father again, thinking Shu Keqin has come back from the dead.

Shu Yunwen immediately smiled and explained, "Hello, madam, you've mistaken me for someone else. The Keqin-sama you mentioned is my father. My name is Shu Yunwen, please take care of me."

"Shu... Yunwen?" the receptionist stammered, her eyes darting back and forth. "I'm truly sorry, but you and Keqin-sama really, really..."

Shu Yunwen smiled and interrupted again, "Because I practice the family's exorcist techniques, I appear a bit older. Also, is the current president, Mr. Matsushita Heisaburo, here? I have some matters I wish to discuss with President Matsushita."

"Yes, President Matsushita is currently meeting with an important client. I'll contact him for you right away." The receptionist bowed slightly and picked up the internal phone. As she did, she introduced herself, "Shu-san, I'm the agency's receptionist, Fukuyama Aiko. Please take care of me."

Shu Yunwen nodded. Fukuyama Aiko made the call, spoke for a few moments, and then hung up.

About half a minute later, a person walked briskly down the hallway. His expression seemed somewhat impatient, but when he reached Shu Yunwen, he froze completely. "You, you're Keqin-sama? How could you..."

As he spoke, the person began to bow.

Shu Yunwen once again explained with a sigh, "Hello, I am Shu Yunwen, my father is Shu Keqin. Please take care of me. I am only eighteen years old. As for why I look so old... it's because I practice the family's exorcist techniques."

"Is, is that so?" The person seemed unconvinced. "My name is Adachi Roppei, I'm the president's secretary. Please follow me."

Adachi Roppei led the way and quickly brought Shu Yunwen to the president's office, where he poured him some tea.

On one side of the president's office wall hung an oil painting, and on the other hung some photographs. The man in the photos, who looked to be in his early fifties, was likely the agency's president, Matsushita Heisaburo.

"Shu-san, President Matsushita is currently meeting with an important client, so please wait a moment," Secretary Adachi explained with a smile.

Shu Yunwen nodded and asked, "May I ask who the important client is...?"

Adachi Roppei hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's a celebrity from the entertainment industry, Ms. Ikezawa Yuko..."

"Ikezawa Yuko?" Shu Yunwen blinked, feeling the name sounded somewhat familiar.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Adachi Roppei received a phone call and left the office. Within a few minutes, a man in a suit walked in. Shu Yunwen glanced at him, smiled, stood up, and took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Matsushita Heisaburo. My name is Shu Yunwen, my father Shu Keqin sends his regards."

Matsushita Heisaburo's face was stern, and he looked very serious. He nodded slightly. "Hello, Shu-san, please sit. I heard when you woke up that I intended to visit. However, due to the overwhelming amount of work, I..."

Shu Yunwen smiled casually. "It's nothing. President Matsushita is busy with work, I understand."

After Shu Yunwen woke up, many people familiar with Shu Keqin had personally visited. By rights, Matsushita Heisaburo should have also visited the son of the former president after he awoke from his coma. However, in reality, over the past month and a half, Matsushita Heisaburo hadn't even made a single phone call to express his regards.

Matsushita Heisaburo said, "I'm glad Shu-san understands."

After exchanging pleasantries, Secretary Adachi came in to refill their tea. Matsushita Heisaburo raised his hand and looked at his watch. "Shu-san, I apologize, but I have other matters to attend to. So, if Shu-san has nothing else, I will take my leave."

Shu Yunwen also raised his hand and looked at his electronic watch. He smiled and said, "President Matsushita, please wait a moment. In fact, I came to visit today for another reason, to inform President Matsushita of something."

Shu Yunwen paused here for a moment, then continued, "As everyone knows, Keqin Exorcist Agency was founded by my father, and it is his life's work. I was in a coma before, so I was very happy that President Matsushita was willing to help manage the agency for me. However, now that I have awakened, President Matsushita's responsibility has come to an end. The president of this agency should be me. Of course, in exchange, President Matsushita can take on the role of vice president and be responsible for the company's specific affairs."

Matsushita Heisaburo listened to Shu Yunwen speak, his expression growing increasingly serious. Finally, he said coldly, "Shu-san, are you joking?"

"Of course not," Shu Yunwen replied with a faint smile.

Matsushita Heisaburo took a deep breath before saying, "Shu-san, I am the president of the agency now. Therefore, I make all the decisions. This is not something I can decide alone, but the unanimous decision of all fifty employees within the agency. If Shu-san is facing financial difficulties, we can provide Shu-san with a sum of money, or we can offer Shu-san a part-time job..."

Huh? Is this guy mistaking me for someone trying to extort him?

Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes and continued, "Matsushita-san, you must understand that I am an exorcist. No one dares to casually snatch something from an exorcist. Unless they want to die!"

Matsushita Heisaburo was stunned for a moment, then let out a dry laugh. He leaned closer to Shu Yunwen and whispered, "Shu-san, are you kidding me? Your father, Keqin-sama, was the most famous exorcist in the industry. I've followed him since he first started in this line of work. Do you know what he told me? That there's no such thing as an exorcist in this world. All fortune-telling, exorcism, demon-slaying, and divination are actually based on superb observation and skills, reading people's expressions, and so on, to understand and deduce the client's psychology and then help them solve problems that don't even exist. So, please don't try to scare me with that kind of thing, okay?"

Shu Yunwen's smile remained on his face. "I never expected my father to tell you all that. However... have you ever considered that he might have been lying to you?"

Shu Keqin even told Matsushita Heisaburo these deceptive techniques, showing how much he trusted him. However, he surely never imagined that after his death, Matsushita Heisaburo would take his place and claim the agency he founded as his own.

Matsushita Heisaburo was extremely confident. "No, your father couldn't have lied to me. Even if he lied to me, he couldn't have lied to all the case files in the agency. More than half of the case files for the 'supernatural' incidents he handled were compiled by me."

"Then... how about we try it for a day first," Shu Yunwen said, standing up. "Since President Matsushita doesn't believe me, you can witness the methods of an exorcist first. Within the next day, I will place a small spell on you. This spell will cause you to have bad luck and face constant setbacks. However, considering you've managed the agency for me for two years, this spell will not harm you..."

"...Of course, this is just the beginning. I will visit again tomorrow. If you remain stubborn, I will use an enhanced version of this spell on you, your family, and your friends. At that time, do not say I did not warn you!"

With that, Shu Yunwen made a slight movement with his hand, and a sorcery fell upon Matsushita Heisaburo.

Ghost Sorcery: Ill Luck Follows!

Matsushita Heisaburo's face turned dark with anger, his lips trembling. "Shu-san, are you threatening me?"

"No, I am not threatening you. I am merely stating a fact. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

He opened the door and walked out. Adachi Roppei happened to be walking by and greeted Shu Yunwen, "Shu-san, are you leaving? Do you need me to escort you...?"

Shu Yunwen smiled and shook his head. "No, there's no need for such trouble. By the way, President Matsushita seems to be having bad luck today. Please take good care of him."

"Huh?"

While Secretary Adachi was still looking bewildered, Matsushita Heisaburo's angry voice could be heard from inside the president's office: "What do you mean by that?!"

Shu Yunwen acted as if he hadn't heard, waved goodbye to the receptionist Fukuyama Aiko, and entered the elevator.

In this world, the so-called exorcists were indeed tricksters who played on people's minds.

But he, Shu Yunwen, was not one of them!
