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
At this moment, Masayoshi’s heart was filled with disapproval and dissatisfaction.It was not easy for him to get to become the acting chairman. And, just when he was about to take charge of the entire Kobayashi Pharma, he was woken up from his sweet dream by the harshness of reality!Hence, he gritted his teeth in dismay and said, “Kobayashi Ichiro! You haven’t been cleared of all charges regarding the death of your father! Even if Jiro had recorded that video, it doesn’t prove that he was the killer! It is possible that you kidnapped him and forced him to say that in the video!”Then, he turned to the crowd and urged, intending to fan the flames, “Am I right, gentlemen?”The crowd nodded in agreement.Seeing that he had the support from the crowd, Masayoshi donned a smug smile on his face and said, “We must hand over this matter to the police for investigation. When the police say that you are cleared of all charges, that’s when we will hand over the ownership of this company to
Charlie sneered then asked, “Are you, Ito? Let me ask you, what’s the position of Kobayashi Masayoshi in this company? Does he have the right to sign this proposal?”Yahiko snorted then said, “He is the proxy for Kobayashi Pharma, so for sure he has the right to sign the financing agreement!”Charlie said in despise, “Stop talking nonsense; who granted him the title? Or he’s the one who called himself a proxy? What’s the point? The total shares for Kobayashi Pharma all belong to Kobayashi Masao, and since Kobayashi Masao has passed away, those shares belonged to Kobayashi Ichiro and Kobayashi Jiro. Now that Kobayashi Jiro is missing, the shares eventually belonged to Kobayashi Ichiro. Who is Kobayashi Masayoshi to make decisions on behalf of Kobayashi Ichi by selling 30% of those shares to you?”Yahiko picked up the signed contract in anger and said furiously, “See for yourself, everything was written in black and white on this contract. My family had owned 30% of shareholdings in Koba
The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em
Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.
Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b
Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi
Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ
Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex
Helena didn't give Harrison a chance to resist. She pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing his mouth to open. Then, she poured the water containing the dissolved Healing Pill directly into his mouth. Harrison was so scared that the blood drained from his face. He wanted to kick and struggle, but he was trembling profusely and couldn't do anything. The thought of Helena trying to poison him gave him a chill to the marrow. He wanted to spit out the water, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, she threw the glass aside with her other hand, grabbed his chin, and lifted it up, snarling, "Drink it!" The moment Harrison's chin was lifted, his esophagus directly opened. The water, which was not much, went straight down his esophagus into his stomach, and he literally drank it. Harrison's eyes were full of fear at this moment. He thought that he might not even have time to say goodbye before he died. The next second, when he felt a different k
Harrison scoffed when he heard Helena's suggestion. He snapped angrily, "I-I-I have the best medical team in the world, and t-they don't even dare say such a thing. W-Who do you think you are?!" Helena smirked and replied, "Your team can't cure you, but I can." With that, she took out the Healing Pill that Charlie had given her from her purse and said to Harrison, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. Once you take it, you'll be restored to your former self. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you take one-tenth of it for free before we discuss terms so that you can truly feel its effectiveness. After that, we can discuss the pricing." Harrison, without any hesitation, disdainfully replied, "I-I would never b-b-believe in such a r-ridiculous pill! T-T-This b-bullshit has no scientific ba-a-asis at all!" Helena sneered contemptuously, "If you believe in science so much, why are you afraid of the Qing Eliminating Society? Can they possibly be a match for your
Helena pursed her lips, looked at Harrison, and then looked at Julien, pretending to be hesitant to speak. Despite his paralyzed body, Harrison was still as sly and smart as ever, so he looked at Julien and said, "Julien, clear the room. I want to talk to Her Majesty alone." Knowing that Harrison was trying to give him a boost, Julien immediately said, "Okay, Dad!" After that, he quickly asked the doctor to leave. Before leaving, he turned and said to Harrison, "Dad, you have all the time in the world. Please have a nice chat with Her Majesty. I'll ask everyone to keep a distance of 20 meters from the room. Please rest assured." Harrison nodded in satisfaction and flicked in the air at him twice, motioning for him to leave. Julien gleefully closed the door and promptly urged everyone to stay 20 meters away from the room, including himself. Seeing that the room was clear, Helena cut to the chase. As she looked at Harrison on the bed, she stated, "Mr. Harrison, the main reaso
