The discussions among Fitz, Zara, and Ito Takehiko concluded on a disappointing note.


    As the siblings exited Ito Co., Ltd., Ito Yuhiko expressed his frustration by scolding Bantian Niang right there.


    On their way back to the hotel, Fitz turned to Zara and asked, “Zara, my intention was to negotiate with Ito Takehiko and gauge whether he might agree to the 20% ratio. What caused you to suddenly change your stance?”


    Zara offered a subtle smile and replied, “The 20% figure is clearly below the lowest price he can ept. No matter how you approach him today, he won’t agree to that ratio. If you truly want to pressure him, you’ll need to apply sufficient leverage.”


    Fitz inquired, “Do you have any suggestions?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Zara responded, “You should call Zhenzhi Takahashi and inform him that you n to sign a contract with him tomorrow. However, before finalizing anything, you’d like to discuss certain details, which you’ll set for tomorrow morning.”


    Fitz asked, “What exactly should I say? Are we really going to give them a contract?”


    “No,” Zara replied coolly. “I intend to sign the contract, but the specifics need to be ironed out. We can simplye up with an excuse at that moment to dy the signing.”


    Continuing, Zara added, “If we let this information slip now, Ito Yuhiko will undoubtedly be anxious. If not by tomorrow, he will likely lower his stance and reach out to us again.”


    Fitz nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright, I’ll follow your advice and call Takahashi Zhenzhi!”


    Upon receiving the call from Fitz, Maki Takahashi was thrilled to hear that the Banks Family nned to sign a contract with him!


    Excitedly, he began organizing his team for the signing ceremony the next day. He even instructed his staff to spread the word throughout Tokyo that the Banks Family was on the verge of signing with him.


    This news quickly circted among Tokyo’s business elite.


    Numerous calls and messages flooded in, congratting Takahashi Maki, as many believed that a partnership with the Banks Family would elevate the Takahashi family above the Ito family, making them the foremost family in Japan!


    Ito Yuhiko received this news almost instantly. Despite his earlier anger, the announcement nearly sent him into a rage.


    He had not anticipated that the Takahashi family would be such a sought-after yer so quickly.


    Now, with Tokyo buzzing around Takahashi Maki, who was being hailed as the future wealthiest individual in Japan, Ito Yuhiko fully grasped the implications of Zara’s earlierments.


    If the Banks Family allied with the Takahashi family, Ito Yuhiko knew his prospects would be bleak.<fnec34> For more chapters visit find?novel</fnec34>


    Although the Ito family appeared unscathed on the surface, they were, in fact, facing significant setbacks.


    Previously, Ito had been able to stand on equal footing with the Takahashi family, but losing this opportunity would allow the Takahashi family to swiftly outpace him.


    At that point, all the prestige he held would be overshadowed by Takahashi Maki.


    The unseen losses were almost incalcble!


    Feeling utterly defeated, Ito Yuhiko isted himself in his room, contemting the situation throughout the afternoon.


    Eventually, as night fell, he reluctantly decided to reach out to the Banks Family again to discuss the matter.


    If that failed, he would reluctantly agree to their terms of 20% cooperation.


    Meanwhile, Zara and Fitz had just enjoyed a meal at the revolving restaurant on the hotel’s top floor. Once they returned to their rooms, Zara nned to take a bath first.


    Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Checking the LCD screen, she saw it was her brother, so she opened the door.


    Fitz stood there with his phone in hand, grinning as he said, “Zara, you’re amazing! Ito Yuhiko just called me!”


    Zara leaned against the door frame and asked with curiosity, “What did he say?”
