Chapter 1658


    Now, Nanako was recovering in Kyoto. Hiroshi went to Oskia the other day to look for medicine for


    her but was unsessful. So, he returned to Tokyo to report back to Yahiko and then stayed in


    Tokyo. 3


    In addition to the Lexus sedan that Yahiko was riding, there were ten bodyguards in two Lexus


    SUVs sandwiching Yahiko''s car in the middle in the form of a convoy as they drove to Kobayashi


    Pharma. 1


    Inside the car, Yahiko was delighted. He analyzed Kobayashi Pharma''s financial reports and market


    sales in the past two years and found that thepany''s future was very promising. He was certain


    that it was definitely the best time to take a stake in thepany now.


    Therefore, in his opinion, the 4.5 billion dor investment in Kobayashi Pharma was like Jake


    nting magical beans in his backyard. The future harvest was at least 15 billion dors or more.


    15 billion dors was equivalent to 1.5 trillion yen! ~i


    No one could sit still and hold back their excitement when the thought of such arge fortune was


    floating i n their mind.


    Despite his excitement, Yahiko suddenly sighed andmented, "I wonder what has happened to


    Jiro. How can a living human being disappear into thin air just like that?" 6


    Equally puzzled, Hiroshi said, "Jiro-san came to see Nanako-san before the finals and said that he


    would watch herpete. He seemed to look forward to presenting her with the award after the


    finals..."


    "However, he did not show up on the day of the finals. He was originally the guest of honor for the


    finals award ceremony, but because of his unexpected absence, the organizers temporarily asked


    someone else to present the award..." 1


    "I''ve always felt that this matter is rather baffling and mysterious. Logically speaking, Jiro-san would


    never miss the finals judging from his feelings to Nanako-_ _ _ H san.


    Yahiko sighed. "Well, I was hoping to make him my son-inw, but now that he is missing..."


    With a pause, he continued with a hint of destion o n his face, "Nanako is not doing so well


    herself now. I wonder how long it will take for her to recover..."


    Hiroshi quickly answered, "Mr. Chairman, I''ve asked someone to help contact some of the American


    experts to see if we can invite them toe over and treat Nanako-san." 3


    "Good." Yahiko nodded. "Make sure you bring the best expert in the world. I don''t mind spending my


    fortune on it!"


    Hiroshi asked again, "What about Yamamoto-san? The doctors in Tokyo can''t do anything about his


    injuries. Should we bring in specialists from America to take a


    look at him?" 4


    Yahiko waved his hand in disdain. “Forget it. He is nothing more than a cripple now. It’s not worth


    putting so much effort into him. If he had some real ability, Nanako wouldn''t be so badly injured!"


    Hiroshi quickly stated, "Actually, we can’t me Yamamoto-san for this matter. It''s mainly because


    Nanako-san''s opponent''s coach was simply too powerful..." 6


    "Powerful?" Yahiko snorted and said contemptuously," Tanaka, you may have some kind of


    misunderstanding about the word powerful. Let me tell you, the truly powerful skill is not karate or


    any of those martial arts, but it''s Japanese Ninjutsu and Onmyoji. Those are the real extraordinary


    powers. Yamamoto''s karate is just someme and unpractical skills of the ordinary people!" 6


    Hiroshi gasped in surprise and asked, "Do Ninjutsu and Onmyoji really exist?"

    Yahiko said tly, "Ninjutsu and Onmyoji are both national martial arts of great Japan, especially


    Ninjutsu. Even westerners are mesmerized by the skills, so how can you, as a Japanese, question


    them?” 6


    Hiroshi answered awkwardly, "To be honest, I’ve been t o Iga City, the hometown of Ninjutsu, a few


    times. I have seen a few Ninjutsu performances there, but I always felt that it is a bit like a


    combination of acrobatics and magic with little practical significance." 3


    Yahiko grinned and said with a hint of sarcasm, "You are the typical frog in the well. Let me tell


    you... like what is said in the legends, the real Ninjutsu is very rare and powerful. There are very few


    real Ninjutsu masters nowadays, though, and most of them are carefully worshipped by the top


    families in the country. These masters are like nuclear weapons, and none of these families will


    expose them on their own ord!" s


    Then, he sneered and added, "Some time ago, the sixth leader of the Yakuza died inexplicably in


    his own heavily guarded hot spring resort in Hokkaido. Do you know about it?"


    Hiroshi immediately nodded. "Almost everyone in Japan knows about this incident. It was reported


    on the news that he died of a brain hemorrhage."


    "Brain hemorrhage?" Yahiko snorted. "Nah, it’s fake news from the public. In reality, he died at the


    hands o f a Ninjutsu master!"
