Reuben was looking out the window at the river at this time as he smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Hashimoto, I just heard my sister saying that her collaboration and partnership negotiation with you does not seem to be going well at all.”Kazumi laughed before he said, “Your sister seems to be overthinking it a little. She wants to collaborate with Nippon Steel, but she also wants a 51% controlling stake in our partnership. How could that be possible? Even if I were to collaborate with anyone, Mr. Moore, the terms that you offered me are so much better compared to hers!”Reuben laughed as he said, “Of course. Women are always so petty when they do things, so it is often difficult to please them. As long as Mr. Moore is willing to work together with me, I will give 51% of the shares to Nippon Steel at that time. After that, I will also give Mr. Hashimoto 9% of the shares out of the 49% that I have in private!”Kazumi replied excitedly, “Mr. Moore, you are truly magnanimous! If that is

Kazumi’s attitude had changed slightly compared to yesterday.He did not reject Jasmine’s proposal as simply as he had done yesterday. Instead, he started beating around the bush with Jasmine.He gave very ambiguous replies on many matters, and he neither agreed nor refused on all these points. This kind of attitude where he would neither listen to reason nor yield to force made Jasmine feel very helpless.Both parties continued their negotiations from morning until evening. Jasmine had already adjusted the profit-sharing portion for Nippon Steel to 65% for the first five years, but Mr. Hashimoto still refused to agree on her proposal.At this point, Jasmine truly had no other choice but to unveil her trump card as she said, “Mr. Hashimoto, it seems that both of us are unwilling to give ground when it comes to the controlling interest. I wonder what you will think of this proposal, then? Each of us will hold 50% of the shares, and under any circumstances, each of us will have 50% o

Jasmine was very upset at this time.She truly did not expect Nippon Steel to be so difficult to deal with.Moreover, she was placed in a very passive position throughout the entire negotiation process. She had already prepared and come up with so many plans, and she had even brought up her final trump card. However, it seemed as though she had failed to finalize their collaboration.Jasmine could not help but feel a strong sense of frustration deep down in her heart at this time.She also had a hunch that it would be very difficult for her to get the result that she wanted and was aiming for in this negotiation.Perhaps she would really have to return without any success this time.Jasmine told her family about her assumption on the way back to the hotel.Although Lord Moore was a little disappointed, he continued encouraging her as he sent a message: [Jasmine, you shouldn’t put too much stress and pressure on yourself in regards to the collaboration with Nippon Steel this time

Jasmine was a little surprised, and she could not help but wonder, ‘Why is Mr. Hashimoto calling me so late at night?! Could it be… could it be that they have already come up with a result for the collaboration and partnership?!’As she thought about this, Jasmine could not help but feel a little nervous. She hurriedly answered the phone as she asked, “Mr. Hashimoto, it is already so late at night. Is there a reason why you are calling me at this time?”Kazumi smiled and said, “Miss Moore, I have already given our chairman feedback on your final proposal for our collaboration today. He acknowledges your sincerity, and he asked me to inform you that we should sign the contract tonight because we should take resolute and effective measures to solve this complicated problem in an instant!”Jasmine did not expect that she would finally be able to hear the news that she had been anxiously anticipating. So, she asked in surprise, “Mr. Hashimoto, are you telling me the truth?!”Kazumi lau

The vehicle that Jasmine was in quickly drove out of downtown Tokyo and continued toward the mountainous areas in the western suburbs of Tokyo.Although there were many mountainous terrains in Japan, the capital of Tokyo was located in the Kanto Plain. Hence, the entire Tokyo was located on flat terrains, and there were almost no peaks in the city. There were only mountainous areas near the Nishitama District after heading west for dozens of kilometers.The mountainous areas were mostly filled with winding roads, but the conditions of the roads were all very good. Jasmine’s commercial vehicle continued driving on a winding road with many twists and turns with a gradually increasing altitude.As they were in the mountainous areas and since it was already late at night, there were almost no other cars driving along the winding road which was dozens of kilometers long. If anyone were to look down from the sky, only the car that Jasmine was in could be seen with its lights on as it circ

The sudden impact of the collision knocked the car’s entire engine compartment directly through the front seat!The driver and Jasmine’s other assistant, who was sitting in the co-driver seat, died in an instant!Jasmine was seated in the middle row in the car, and her seat belt was buckled. So, at the moment of the collision, Jasmine was held firmly in her seat thanks to the seat belt.However, due to the great inertia during the impact, four of Jasmine’s ribs broke!Zahra, who was sitting next to Jasmine, did not have such good luck!She had slacked a little when she got into the car, and she had felt that there was no need for her to buckle her seat belt since she was sitting at the back of the car. Thus, Zahra flew out of her seat during the collision, and her body slammed directly on the back of the co-driver seat!At this moment, Zahra’s head was injured, and she was badly battered. Zahra instantly lost consciousness and fell into a coma.Jasmine felt a terrible pain in he

As the car rolled and tumbled off the cliff, Jasmine was already feeling extremely nervous.However, Jasmine became even soberer and alert at this critical moment of life and death.Her brain was spinning very fast at this moment, and many things suddenly came to her mind.Because of the extreme speed of the thoughts that were filling Jasmine’s mind, it seemed as though time had slowed down.When the car finally hit the cliffside boulder, Jasmine felt as though her whole body had been completely destroyed by the violent impact of the collision.Fortunately, she was still seated inside the luxury car seat in the car. This kind of seat was very safe and comfortable. The most important thing was that the parts that her body was in contact with were very soft.The soft parts of the seat could greatly alleviate the huge impact of the collision on her body. This was similar to putting eggs inside a box that was wrapped in cotton. The safety factor could be greatly increased.However,

This was similar to a city that was plunged into darkness due to a power outage. As soon as the power supply was suddenly restored, the entire city was instantly re-lit!Just as Jasmine’s body was rapidly recovering, the car that she was seated in finally fell to the bottom of the valley.At this time, the car was already in a terrible state, and it was completely damaged.The entire front of the car had completely collapsed through the front seats. The car windows were all shattered, and the rocks and stones along the path had also cut countless hideous holes through the metal car body.The car was also completely deformed, and it looked like a can that had been stepped on after the endless rolling!However, Jasmine’s consciousness was constantly recovering. Her broken ribs, leg bones, arms, as well as her bodily wounds, damaged brain, and internal organs were all quickly regaining their vitality.Jasmine regained her mobility after a brief moment.She tried to unfasten her sea

Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th

Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone

Vera kept her plan to investigate the identity of the abbess deep in her mind and told Charlie nothing.Instead, she smiled as she said, "It seems that it's both yours and Ms. Ito's good fortune that she has attained enlightenment. You've never had anyone who could attain enlightenment and master Reiki at the same time, so Ms. Ito will definitely be a great help to you in the future."Charlie chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not hoping for her to help. I'm simply happy for her with her enlightenment and excited to have another comrade in my solo ventures into the dark forests."Vera nodded in understanding, and she murmured emotionally, "I've lived for so long, and it's only when I opened my heart to you that I felt that sensation you described."There was a flicker of wistfulness in her eyes.She really did not expect to attain enlightenment before meeting Charlie.Years ago, she thought that she would eventually avenge her father.Now, she no longer hoped to murder Fleur Griffi

Vera was inwardly disappointed to hear that Claire was returning.That meant there were fewer chances of Charlie visiting the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, as were her chances of seeing him again.Still, she didn't let it show, instead asking casually, "How are things at Champs Elys? Are the warriors improving at a rate to your satisfaction?""Well, most of everyone's improvement is within expectations…" Charlie explained, just as he remembered a certain someone. "By the way, there's something I haven't told you yet. Are you perhaps acquainted with the name Ito Nanako?""Yes," Vera smiled. "The Japanese lady who was with you. What about her?""She attained enlightenment days ago.""Enlightenment?" Vera did a double take and soon pressed, "Enlightenment in what sense? Essential Qi or Reiki?"After all, the former was the path to enlightenment in martial arts, while the latter meant enlightenment in cultivation.But despite the distinction between both domains, enlightenment was a comm

While Charlie had long since gotten used to Elaine and Jacob's bizarre marriage, being near the heart of the storm still took a toll on his senses—to the point that he felt physically sick.Leaving right away was therefore his best solution.Once he left, however, he realized he didn't have anywhere to go. Champs Elys was quite far, and it would take a lot of time.As he started to feel bored stiff, he remembered Vera for some reason and called her.Once Vera answered, she quickly asked in curiosity, "To what do I owe the pleasure? Lunch, perhaps?"Charlie chuckled. "Since you've put it that way… I haven't eaten either, so lunch it is!"Vera giggled. "Come over to my place, then. It's cold outside, and I was just lighting up a hot pot. I'll have Madam Marilyn prepare an additional portion.""Okay!" Charlie agreed to it without hesitation. "I can return her car too. Just wait, I'll be right there!"Once he hung up, he got on the Rolls Roycs he had borrowed from Scarlet Pinnacl

Charlie shook his head. "It's alright, Dad. You can go ahead if you're busy—I can pick up Claire on my own.""No way!" Elaine promptly snapped. "It's been so long since she came back. We are all going to the airport!"Jacob sighed in exasperation. "Well, I'm sticking to my schedule—first the Calligraphy and Painting Association, then I'll be back an hour before to pick you guys up before going together to the airport."Elaine was left fuming. "Is there no getting through to you? You really have to go to that stupid association, don't you? Okay, fine. If you must go, I will be going with you!""You're their honored vice president who will be promoted to president soon, no? As Mrs. Vice President and the future Mrs. President, is there an issue if I went for a look?"Jacob shuddered at the thought of Elaine going to the Calligraphy and Painting Association as he absolutely didn't want her to humiliate him with her antics. People would talk, asking how a proper gentleman like him c

Jacob yawned, stretching his arms and smacking his cheeks, before finally retorting in contempt, "For Pete's sake, woman—don't make dissing me a habit. Or does it please you so much?"Elaine pursed her lips. "You call that dissing? It's all facts—do you think I don't know you? Tell me, what qualifications do you have? Your knowledge about calligraphy is skin-deep, and even the frauds working on Antique Street could beat you.""Only you would have the audacity to take the role of vice president at the Calligraphy and Painting Association—heaven's above, how blind is the president to appoint you as his second fiddle? Still, you'll be packing your things as soon as he realizes the truth.""Oh, Elaine, poor Elaine…" Jacob grinned smugly at her right then. "I'm afraid things won't go the way you want. Mr. Bay's been chasing a promotion lately, and once he gets it, I will take his place as president. That means I'll be the top dog instead of second fiddle!""Bullshit!" Elaine snapped in
