Koichi Tanaka hurried over to Takehiko Ito’s side and whispered, “Chairman, this is Alan—the man who crippled Mr. Kazuki Yamamoto.”Neither Takehiko Ito nor Tanaka could fathom why Alan had shown up here.As far as Tanaka knew, Alan was merely Carla’s coach, a skilled fighter local to Plath City with no discernible ties to Japan whatsoever. So why had he suddenly appeared in Tokyo, and more specifically, inside Kobayashi Pharmaceutical’s conference room?Even more baffling was Alan’s claim that he was the company’s major shareholder!Takehiko Ito’s face darkened.He had heard Tanaka mention Alan on the drive over, yet he held nothing but contempt for so-called martial arts masters like him and had never spared the man a second thought.He fixed a sharp glare on Alan and snapped coldly, “Boy, think carefully before you open your mouth. You cannot afford the consequences of spouting nonsense!”Alan did not know Takehiko Ito. Judging the Japanese man to be around fifty years old with a s

He drove his foot hard into Masayoshi Kobayashi’s abdomen and roared furiously, "Masayoshi Kobayashi, just admit it—you’re biting the hand that feeds you! Under Japanese law, as the eldest son of the clan, I am the rightful heir to the family fortune. Now that my younger brother has gone missing, I am Father’s sole legal heir, and the company he founded rightfully belongs to me. You’re nothing but a hired employee here; what gives you the nerve to talk back to me?"Recalling all the torment he had endured lately, Ichiro Kobayashi burned with unbridled rage. The sight of Masayoshi trying to block him from taking over Kobayashi Pharmaceutical—this futile act of a mantis attempting to halt a chariot—only stoked his fury to new heights!He stormed forward and rained punches and kicks down on Masayoshi, shouting insults nonstop, "Do you even know who you are? Have you ever heard of servants seizing a house and barring the owner’s son from entering? How dare you stop me from returning to Ko

Every staff member of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical in the room was too shocked to speak.This Alan was far too ruthless.The R&D department alone employed over a hundred people, and each of those people supported an entire family.Japan’s social structure was built around single-income households, where nearly all husbands worked full-time while wives stayed home to raise children and manage household affairs.This cultural norm created an extreme demand for job security among Japanese families.Most Japanese citizens could hold a single job for decades until their retirement.As a result, unemployment was their greatest fear.Makokawa Kobayashi was utterly terrified.Though he had always earned a high salary, he carried an immense financial burden.Tokyo’s housing prices were among the highest across Asia. During Kobayashi Pharmaceutical’s period of rapid expansion a few years prior, he had purchased a large urban apartment with a mortgage. His monthly bank loan repayments alone exceeded

Koichi Tanaka sighed repeatedly, "The Ito Clan holds varying stakes in all the enterprises you just mentioned. Their decline has dragged down our assets as well, and this is indeed a critical problem..."Takehiko Ito spoke with exasperation, "That is not all. The most worrying part is that Japan’s younger generation as a whole suffers from a severe lack of creativity!""Look at China over these years. A large number of world-class internet companies have sprung up one after another, such as Tencent, Alibaba, ByteDance, JD.com and Pinduoduo. There is also DJI, which commands over seventy percent of the global drone market. In contrast, not a single influential internet firm has emerged in Japan during this period. If this trend continues, we will lose all our competitive edges across the board!"Koichi Tanaka nodded, "By comparison, China’s top-tier clans have seen their wealth and influence soar alongside the continuous advancement of all Chinese industries. They now possess the clout

She had long been melancholy over lacking chances to spend time with Alan. If she got to coordinate work matters with him from now on, that meant she would get to see him regularly.Her heart instantly brimmed with excitement.Meanwhile in Tokyo, Japan.After Alan made an example out of one to warn the rest, the handful of remaining executives at Kobayashi Pharmaceutical had become as docile as sheep.Working alongside Paul, Ichiro Kobayashi completed all formalities for the share transfer and registration changes at Tokyo’s local commercial authority.Ninety percent of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical’s shares now officially belonged to Zhenyuan Pharmaceutical.Given the critical importance of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical’s upcoming production shift, Alan could not leave Tokyo for the time being. He planned to stay in Japan until every production line successfully switched over to manufacturing Zhenyuan Stomach Powder.The Tokyo production line was scheduled to be the first to complete the trans
