Rich People Are Dumb (20-29)
Villain Morality Mission
During your exploits, you've heard rumors of the former head of a guild of assassins, Mitsumoto Hagashi, changing his ways for the better of the public. He is now a well known and beloved figure in Paragon, despite his shady past.
You find an article on the internet detailing what exactly he'll be doing next...
Mitsumoto Hagashi — Land Developer
- COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY FOR RIKTI SHELTER
- Former criminal Mitsumoto Hagashi will be present today for a commencement ceremony in Boomtown. He is funding the construction of a shelter for those people who have lost their homes in the last Rikti War, as well as funding the PPD's continued effort towards making Boomtown safe for the public.
- The ceremony will be held later today and is expected to be a huge success. If all goes well, the shelter will be constructed within the year, with more to come.
- This effort will be a large step towards the reconstruction in Boomtown, an issue that has plagued the city for the past few years.
Boomtown is a known avenue for various villains and what not to get in and out of Paragon City - not to mention the location of several 5th Column training camps. If it were to be revitalized, it could spell trouble for all those with operations within the city.
As well... Hagashi is valued highly amongst the people of Paragon - meaning if he were to be captured, the city would pay top dollar to have him back.
...If you feel like they deserve to have him back, that is.
WARNING: This is a Morality Mission. Completing this mission will change your alignment to Villain. Becoming a Villain means you will be unable to travel to Paragon City. Any ties to the heroic world will be lost.
- Interrupt the ceremony and kidnap Hagashi
WARNING: This is a Morality Mission. Completing this mission will maintain your current alignment of Villain, removing any progress you may have made on any other alignments.
Are you sure you want to do this?
- Yes, give Hagashi the 'christening' he deserves.
It'll be a simple matter of getting into Boomtown - it isn't exactly the most secure area within Paragon City. Afterwards it'll be another matter getting to Higashi. From what you've heard, the PPD will be out in force to fight off any potential attacks from the 5th Column.
You'll have to weaken the PPD's forces in the area first before you can get Higashi out.
At that point, it'll be as simple as making your demands and then collecting the money that they will bring.
Of course...if the powers that be in Paragon try anything, you'll have to ... show them the consequences of double-crossing you.
- Kidnap and ransom off Mitsumoto Hagashi!
You'll have to make your way into Boomtown quickly before the ceremony is over and done with - hurry!
Unnecessary Solicitation
After this, you'll either be rolling in a large amount of money, or be feared by the people of Paragon. Both are suitable to your interests.

Radio — Negotiations with Longbow
With Mitsumoto Hagashi at the proper location, you set the radio frequency to contact a nearby Longbow base. A few moments later, one of the commanders answers your call.
Hello? Who is this? Who knows this line?
- It would be me, Character. I have a little deal to make...
Character!
We heard reports...you're at the construction site for that shelter...you're a monster!
What do you want?
- It's more of what -you're- willing to give me for Hagashi.
You have him?!
There is silence on the other line - the commander must be speaking with the other members of Longbow about what to do.
- I don't have all day, commander - and neither does my hostage.
Alright, Character...we're willing to pay.
Just...name your terms!
- Tell Longbow what you want in exchange for Hagashi)
What?! You ask for too much! We won't pay that!
- You'll pay it if you want him to live.
Fine...alright? We'll send over our agents now to deliver the package.
- A lone agent. If you try to pull anything, Hagashi dies!
...understood.
The line goes silent. All that's left now is to wait - though it seems Hagashi has spotted something...
- (Look over at what the disturbance could be)
You turn to see Silent Blade on the top of the construction yard - charging straight towards you!
Hmph! More interruptions, I see!

- Mitsumoto Hagashi: You won't win, Character. I know the road you travel. It will not lead you to a pleasant end.
Silent Blade and Hagashi dialogue
Immediately after radio negotiations:
Mitsumoto Hagashi: Give Character whatever he wants!
Mitsumoto Hagashi: You idiots! Pay Character! I don't want to die for your ideals - or your wallet!
Mitsumoto Hagashi: What...who is that? No...no it couldn't be...!
Silent Blade Approaches:
Mitsumoto Hagashi: Yurika! No! Longbow will handle this, stay away!
Silent Blade: Father, I am here to rescue you. Stay calm!
Silent Blade: Character, I will not rest until my father is safe - I will kill you like the dog you are!
Silent Blade: You chose the wrong man to take hostage, Character. Use this fleeting moment to regret your actions before you are sent off this coil!
Silent Blade: I will not I have you meet this fate, father, not when you have come so far.
Mitsumoto Hagashi: I would never have been here, had I not listened to you and your ramblings!
Silent Blade: This is not my fault, father! I shall save you! You do not need to live your life of crime any longer!
Mitsumoto Hagashi: I was well protected back then - and now look! On the brink of death, and for what? For nobility? This is not worth it!
Silent Blade: I will...I will not let it end like this! Father, I will show you...I will show you that this is the right path!
Mitsumoto Hagashi: I never should have listened to you, Yurika. We do not live in an age of decency, like you so claimed!
Defeating Silent Blade:
Silent Blade: No...father...!
Mitsumoto Hagashi: I was right, Yurika. And now...I shall be the one to pay for your foolishness.
Mitsumoto Hagashi: I suppose I already know what you're going to do, Character.
Get...get on with it. I...am ready.
Silent Blade: Perhaps...you were right...all along...
Mission Exit
As you entered the truck to leave Boomtown, the tunnels around you shook from the explosion.
Papers around Paragon proclaimed that you were responsible for the explosion - and the loss of Hagashi's life. The people of Paragon mourn his loss, while the authorities have put out multiple warrants for your arrest.
It's too bad that Longbow just had to send in Silent Blade to play the part of the hero - her dear father might still be alive today if she had just followed your plan.
