A COUNTRY IN SOUTH-EAST ASIA

What are you doing in this land?

Are you one of their men?

Answer when spoken to!

Teruasa Oda?

Why would a Japanese wander all the way out here?

What's this?

Boss, we keep digging, but there's no water.

The water tank's run dry.

We're all dying of thirst.

Dig on the east bank. It's our last hope!

Wait. Maybe the south bank...

Which one? We're desperate.

The south.

What?

There's water in the south.

One more word, I'll kill you!

You understand what we're saying?

Who are you?

My name is "Lucky Man."

We were wrong. Please forgive us.

The people are on edge, ready to protect the village from bandits.

Tell me how we can thank you.

I'd like to meet the leader of your village.

Thank you for helping us.

This key is an ancient amulet, passed down here since long ago.

Thank you,

but it's not the key I'm searching for.

Stay well, Lucky Man!

Thank you. Take care!

Lucky Man! Lucky Man!

Lucky Man! Lucky Man!

Lucky Man!

There have been a series of incidents

involving mysterious asset transfers in Japan.

Several business owners have died shortly after leaving enigmatic messages.

He was still conscious at the scene.

He looked scared, and was mumbling the word "devil."

He kept saying it over and over.

There's a change of plan.

Get off here.

Teruasa, where will you go?

To Japan.

Greed, lust,

the urge to succeed, or to rule...

Humans have long prospered by following their desires,

but have also engaged in ugly conflict,

all to satisfy such cravings.

Underlying the history of war, there is always a mysterious key

that seduces man and stirs his desires.

Such keys have appeared throughout the world, across the ages.

It is said that if you collect 99 keys,

you can have everything in the world.

Mankind, driven by desire, has spilled much blood in the scramble for the keys.

This is why they came to be called the "devil's keys."

No one has ever collected all 99 keys.

We will shortly be arriving at Narita airport.

Please ensure your seat belt is fastened.

I have something I want to show you.

What I'm about to say stays between me and you.

You'll keep it secret?

You can tell me.

What is it?

According to old legend, this is a devil's key.

It has a magical power to bring you luck, just by having it.

What?

I'm serious.

Since I got my hands on this key, I found the watch I'd lost,

and on my way to a work meeting, all the traffic lights turned green.

No way.

Can I hold it?

They say that there are 99 keys in total.

If you collect all of them,

you can have the whole world.

...should be placed securely under your seat.

If you are using the bathroom, please return to your seat.

Please! Wait!

Please, Maruko!

Mr. Honda, don't feel bad.

The world of victory and defeat is cruel.

A debt to be paid!

Look at that. Guess he beat me to it.

Now we can live in peace. Right, boss?

Not just yet.

You've got the key, and all of Honda Science's assets.

Isn't that 31.8 billion yen?

That's enough to keep the family happy and well.

Fool.

I'm going to make our family even more powerful.

KEY OWNER LOCATED ODA TERUASA

MOTHER DIED AT 11 YRS OLD FATHER DIED AT 14 YRS OLD

Got one.

Is it from him?

Our next target...

RETURNED TO JAPAN A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER LIVING IN INDIA

NUMBER OF KEYS IN POSSESSION: ONE

TOKYO

With about 300 offices in Japan and abroad,

it's one of Japan's leading trading companies,

dealing in metal, energy, food, information, finance and more.

Hello.

I'd like to see Ryukan Okamoto from the secretarial office.

Could you tell me your name, please?

Oda Teruasa.

Thirteen years ago, this was Oda Group.

A SOCIETY WHERE LOVE ALWAYS ABOUNDS

Teruasa?

Ryukan!

Teruasa!

You're back.

I would have come to the airport if you'd told me.

Nonsense, I don't belong here anymore.

It must have been difficult, out there by yourself.

No doubt I'm tougher for it.

Do you have the key on you now?

Yes.

I heard about the strange incidents involving asset transfers in Japan.

Yes, it's all anyone can talk about.

Top businessmen and wealthy individuals have been dying mysteriously

after transferring everything they own to someone else.

I believe just yesterday, the chairman of Honda Science

transferred his entire fortune to the Maruko Family, a criminal group.

Then he jumped from the building to his death.

Right before the victim dies,

they all say the word, "devil."

The devil's key?

If the key has something to do with these incidents,

I'm worried this place might be next.

Also,

I recognized someone

in the footage shown on TV.

It's him.

From what I've investigated,

there are bloody incidents happening around the world related to the keys.

Wait. You've been investigating?

Actually,

I've been traveling for years looking for keys just like this one.

Now, in Japan too,

similar incidents are happening in connection to these keys.

There must be a reason.

I'm not sure why, but perhaps

lots of these keys are being discovered in Japan.

If that's true, then you're in danger.

You need to get away from here!

I'm sick of running.

I'm going to search Japan for this key, and this man.

I don't care how dangerous it is.

If I don't do this, I'll never move on.

My father's death...

was because of me.

Dad?

I found some information on that key.

Don't tell me you've been investigating the keys?

I didn't say a word to anyone.

It's reception.

What is it?

There's someone at reception for you with no appointment.

Oda, I know you have a devil's key...

I owe thanks to your son, who's been digging around online.

His research led me right to you.

I see. Then let's talk.

I'm sorry, I just...

Now listen, Teruasa.

I want you to take care of the key for me.

Go to reception and tell Okamoto to come here.

Ryukan!

What is it?

Go back to the secretarial office.

I'm coming too.

Where's the key?

I have no such thing.

Dad!

Okamoto!

-Chairman Oda! -Dad?

-What's going on? -Are you okay?

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Chairman?

-Good to see you. -Sure.

What are you doing here?

You have no connection to us anymore.

Sir.

You're right.

Sorry for bothering you.

Hey, kid!

You're that Teruasa boy, aren't you?

I'm Akechi. I used to know your parents, back in the day.

It's me! From the Mog chocolate factory.

No way! It's been ages!

Next up,

we have a presentation from Ui Saito,

managing director of U.U. Engineering.
