Yarera-Zusco Firm

Yarera-Zusco Firm
The Yarera-Zusco Firm, later known as the Yarera-Zusco Conglomerate, was a company owned by the Yarera Family. Competing with the rival Freezis Foundation over the centuries, it eventually grew into one of the most powerful businesses in Evillious.

Foundation
At some point, the Yarera Family founded the firm, establishing its headquarters in Aceid, Elphegort. It later began heavily competing with the Freezis Foundation.

Eastern Operations
Around the 9th century EC, the firm established a trade house in Enbizaka, Jakoku. Importing Jakokuese products, the firm's trade was limited by the nation's isolationist policy. In EC 838, the firm suffered a loss of its properties due to the great fire that struck Enbizaka. The following year, the chairman's son Kiji Yarera was sent to Enbizaka. The firm later invested in Enbizaka's reconstruction efforts. During the Enbizaka Murders in EC 842, Kiji had the firm's employees thoroughly investigate the murder of Miku Miroku.

Court Dealings
Eventually, the firm grew into a massive conglomerate. In EC 961, deputy head Guzma Yarera had the company pay a bribe to Dark Star Bureau head judge Hanma Balledold to cancel the execution of Jorm Zusco. After gaining the chairwoman's consent, Guzma gave Hanma another bribe to rule against Loki Freezis. Later on, the conglomerate supplied officers for the Dark Star Bureau's police force, Police Neutrality.
