Actually, Masayoshi’s remarks were not unreasonable.There was certainly an information gap between Ito Yahiko and him because of the different understanding of the market.At this moment, Ito Yahiko must have thought that Kobayashi Stomach Pill was invincible, and he would love to get on the money-making bandwagon, which was Kobayashi Pharma.However, Masayoshi and other Kobayashi family members were now aware of the existence of the Apothecary Pharmaceutical. They also knew that at this moment, a type of drug called Apothecary Stomach Pill became very popular in Oskia and Aurous Hill and that the efficacy of the pill was much better than the Kobayashi Stomach Pill.Therefore, upon hearing Masayoshi’s concerns, the others changed their mind almost immediately.A moment ago, they firmly believed that Kobayashi Pharma must have a valuation of at least 20 billion and anything less than that was absolutely unacceptable, let alone 15 billion.But now they realized that it was a rare

Now, Nanako was recovering in Kyoto. Hiroshi went to Oskia the other day to look for medicine for her but was unsuccessful. So, he returned to Tokyo to report back to Yahiko and then stayed in Tokyo.In addition to the Lexus sedan that Yahiko was riding, there were ten bodyguards in two Lexus SUVs sandwiching Yahiko’s car in the middle in the form of a convoy as they drove to Kobayashi Pharma.Inside the car, Yahiko was delighted. He analyzed Kobayashi Pharma’s financial reports and market sales in the past two years and found that the company’s future was very promising. He was certain that it was definitely the best time to take a stake in the company now.Therefore, in his opinion, the 4.5 billion dollar investment in Kobayashi Pharma was like Jake planting magical beans in his backyard. The future harvest was at least 15 billion dollars or more. 15 billion dollars was equivalent to 1.5 trillion yen!No one could sit still and hold back their excitement when the thought of such

At this moment, Hiroshi felt that his worldview had been turned upside down.It was such a shocking revelation to him that the famous sixth leader of the yakuza had died at the hands of a Ninjutsu master.However, he dared not doubt Yahiko’s words because he knew Yahiko’s character very well. The man would never say anything he wasn’t sure of. If he said something, it must be that he had some special sources to make sure that it was indeed the truth.In fact, Hiroshi even suspected that there might be Ninjutsu masters in the Ito family.However, he tactfully stopped questioning because he knew that there were some questions that he should not ask, and there were things that he should not know either.As the assistant of the Ito family and one of Yahiko’s henchmen, his main duty was to serve Ito Yahiko well and be sensible and smart with the do’s and don’ts.Therefore, he said to Yahiko respectfully, “I’m sorry for being ignorant. I did not expect that the legendary Ninjutsu maste

At this moment, Yahiko said, “I’ve always been very optimistic about Kobayashi Pharma, and I am very willing to support your company to take a step further up the ladder. So, I am here today to sign an investment agreement with you. Before we proceed, I wanted to make sure that none of you have any doubts about the intention of my investment, right?”Masayoshi hurriedly replied in a respectful tone, “Of course not. Ito-san, please rest assured that we had already reached an agreement before you came. We are delighted to have you as our company’s investor.”To avoid any hiccups, Yahiko nodded and immediately continued, “Let’s cut to the chase. I have a lot of things to tend to lately, and I’m leaving Tokyo tomorrow, so let’s just sign the contract now and be done with it. If everything’s okay, I’ll immediately inform my finance department to make the payment.”Masayoshi blurted, “Of course! We can sign the contract right away!”Yahiko gestured at Hiroshi beside him and said, “Tanaka

Yahiko did not know Charlie’s reason for being here, and neither did Hiroshi.In Hiroshi’s opinion, Charlie was Aurora’s coach and a martial artist in Aurous Hill who had nothing to do with Japan. So why did he suddenly appear in Tokyo and barge into Kobayashi Pharma’s conference room?What was even more confusing was that Charlie announced himself as the majority shareholder of Kobayashi Pharma!At this moment, Yahiko’s face was twisted in a disdainful grimace.On his way here, he had heard from Hiroshi about Charlie. He was very scornful of this so-called expert, so he did not take him seriously.He sized Charlie up and shouted in a cold voice, “Kid, think about the consequences before you speak. You can’t afford to pay the price of talking recklessly!”Charlie did not know Ito Yahiko. His first impression of the man was that he was in his 50’s with an old-fashioned hairdo and donned an arrogant expression. The man also had a pompous tone of voice.Charlie stared at Yahiko and

Their powerful attacks came to an abrupt halt in an instant!Both of them were astounded by the sudden and tremendous force on their wrists and found that they could neither advance nor pull back their punch. They immediately realized that they had met a powerful master today!They immediately exchanged glances and could see the fear in each other’s eyes. Then, they gestured with their gazes, and at the same time, they exerted their strength, trying to free their right hands from Charlie’s grip.Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they could not pull their right hands back even a fraction!Charlie, on the other hand, donned a smile on his face while looking at them and saying with an intriguing tone, “Guys, your attacks are quite scheming… how can you aim to attack my ribs on your first move!? Aren’t you afraid of killing me?”Anxiously, they shuddered, and one of them said, “We… We just wanted to test your strength, sir. Nothing more!”Charlie laughed out loud. “You ca

“Ito Yahiko?”Charlie’s eyebrows furrowed slightly when he heard the name. He clarified with Hiroshi, “What is his relationship with Nanako?”Hiroshi quickly answered, “Ito-san is Nanako-san’s father.”Then, Charlie came to a sudden revelation. He didn’t really know much about the Ito family. The only person he knew was Nanako.Hearing that the slicked-back Japanese man was actually Nanako’s father, his demeanor eased a bit.Then, he looked at Yahiko and said flatly, “For your daughter’s sake, I won’t be harsh to you. Since you are not a member of the Kobayashi family, I don’t need you here. Take your men and go.”Yahiko blew a fuse upon hearing Charlie’s remark. As the head of the Ito family, he had never been treated with such contempt! Moreover, this young man was very pompous and cocky! What did he mean by being a bigger person for his daughter’s sake? He had gone too far!At this point, Yahiko gritted his teeth and growled, “Kid, what makes you think this is your company an

Masayoshi chided angrily, “You want to monopolize the company, that’s why you killed your father!”Ichiro stomped his feet in agitation and yelled, “Kobayashi Masayoshi, are you f*cking stupid? You say I wanted to kill my father because I want to own Kobayashi Pharma, but open your f*cking eyes and see for yourself! Did I take over the company? Who became the new chairman of Kobayashi Pharma after my father’s death?”With that, everyone exchanged glances as if they had finally realized something.Ichiro was right!After the death of Kobayashi Masao, Kobayashi Jiro, Ichiro’s brother, was the successor to the chairmanship. Moreover, Jiro had put up a lot of money to kill Ichiro.Would it not be a little stupid if Ichiro was the one who planned this? Not only did he not get any benefit from this, but he also gave the chairman position to someone else, and worst of all, the new chairman wanted him killed.At this point, everyone suddenly realized that there might be something else

Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh

The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office

On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…

Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T
