    Currently, Nanako Ito is recovering in Kyoto, while Hiroshi Tanaka traveled to China a few days ago in search of medicine for her. Unfortunately, he returned to Tokyo without any progress and resumed his life alongside Takehiko Ito, opting to stay in the city.


    Apanying Ito Yuhiko were ten bodyguards, who traveled in two Lexus off-road vehicles that followed closely behind his Lexus sedan. Together, the three vehicles formed a convoy as they made their way to Kobayashi Pharmaceutical.


    Inside the car, Ito Yuhiko was filled with excitement. He reviewed the financial reports and market performance of Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals over thest two years and concluded that thepany’s future looked promising. He believed that now was the perfect time to invest in its shares.


    In his view, the proposed investment of $4.5 billion in Kobayashi Pharmaceutical was akin to nting a substantial amount of gold in a magicalnd, with potential returns of at least $15 billion in the future!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    To put that into perspective, $15 billion trantes to over 150 billion Japanese yen and more than 100 billion Chinese RMB!


    No one could contain their excitement at the prospect of such immense wealth.


    Amidst his exhration, Ito couldn’t help but express his concerns, saying, “I wonder what happened to Jiro Kobayashi. He was such a remarkable person, yet now he has simply vanished?”


    Koichi Tanaka shared his confusion, responding, “Before the youngdy’s finals, Jiro Kobayashi came to visit, expressing his eagerness to see herpete and look forward to presenting her with an award afterward…”


    “However, on the day of the finals, Jiro Kobayashi was nowhere to be found. He was supposed to be a guest at the event, but his unexpected absence forced the organizers to invite someone else to present the awards…”


    “I’ve always thought this was rather strange. Given Jiro Kobayashi’s feelings for the eldestdy, it seems impossible for him to miss such an important event.”


    Ito Yuhiko sighed, saying, “I had ns to have him as my son-inw, but I never imagined he would disappear…”<fna7ad> Read full story at find?novel</fna7ad>


    Afterward, a hint of mncholy crossed his face as he added, “Nanako’s health isn’t good at the moment. I’m not sure when she will return to her former self…”


    Hiroshi Tanaka quickly interjected, “Mr. Ito, I’ve reached out to someone who can connect us with an expert from America. We might be able to have an American specialiste and consult with thedy.”


    “Yes,” Ito nodded with determination. “We must bring in the best experts avable. I won’t hesitate to spend whatever it takes!”


    Koichi Tanaka then inquired, “Mr. Ito, what about Mr. Yamamoto Kazuki? The doctors in Tokyo seem unable to help with his injury. Should we also consider bringing in an expert from the United States for him?”


    Ito Yuhiko waved dismissively, “Forget it, it’s a waste of time. It’s not worth investing too much energy in him. If he were truly capable, Nanako wouldn’t have been hurt so severely!”


    Hiroshi Tanaka quickly defended, “Mr. Ito, we shouldn’t me Mr. Yamamoto for this. The main issue is that the coach of his opponent was exceptionally strong…”


    “Strong?” Ito scoffed, dismissing the idea. “Tanaka, you might be misunderstanding what true strength is! Let me tell you, the real power doesn’t lie in karate but in our Japanese ninjutsu and Onmyoji. That is the true supernatural ability; Yamamoto Kazuki’s karate is just a shy imitation of what true skill is!”


    Hiroshi Tanaka asked in surprise, “Mr. Ito, do ninjutsu and onmyoji really exist?”


    Ito Takehiko replied nonchntly, “Tanaka, ninjutsu and onmyoji are the traditional martial arts of Japan. Ninjutsu, in particr, has captivated even Westerners. Why would you still doubt their existence?”


    Feeling a bit embarrassed, Hiroshi Tanaka admitted, “Mr. Ito, I’ve visited Iga City, the birthce of ninjutsu, several times and watched demonstrations. I always thought ninjutsu resembled a mix of acrobatics and magic.”


    Yuihiko Ito snorted, a hint of sarcasm in his tone. “You, my friend, are like a frog at the bottom of a well. True ninjutsu is very much as it is described in legends, but there are few genuine ninjas left today. Most are carefully preserved by elite families, akin to nuclear weapons—no family would willingly expose them!”


    He then added with a sneer, “Recently, the sixth-generation leader of a Yakuza group died inexplicably in his heavily guarded hot spring pce in Hokkaido. Have you heard about this?”


    Koichi Tanaka nodded quickly, “Yes, this incident is almost unknown throughout Japan. It was reported on TV that he died from a cerebral hemorrhage.”


    “Cerebral hemorrhage?” Takehiko Ito snorted coldly. “That’s just a cover story. In reality, he met his end at the hands of a ninjutsu master!”
