"Mr. Fujiwara, can I trust you?"
Aoyama Xiu Xin looked at Fujiwara Takahiro earnestly.
"Hi!" Fujiwara Takahiro puffed out his chest and lifted his head as he answered.
Previously, Aoyama Xiu Xin didn't quite trust Fujiwara Takahiro because the man had something of a background, and people with backgrounds often aren't content to stay under others. He was afraid this person would become restless, so he hadn't engaged deeply with him.
The real moment Aoyama Xiu Xin decided to try to bring him into his inner circle was when Yoshikai Yoshitsune had shot Takai Baoyu, and Fujiwara Takahiro hadn't spoken carelessly about it.
"Yoshikai Yoshitsune killing Takai Baoyu was his duty, but I received news that a bodyguard named Hasegawa Ze, who works for Takai Baoyu, now sees him as an enemy and is planning revenge. I've just discussed with Yoshikai the plan to lure him out and pin Hasegawa Ze down."
