*** "What did you say? The new Emperor's name is Igarashi Kazuki? Are you telling the truth...?" Bowing his trembling body, the man in the black robe could only nod his head, answering in a stuttering voice, "Y-Yes, My Lord, the man's name is indeed Igarashi Kazuki. Is there something wrong with that, My Lord? Should I infiltrate the Imperial Palace to confirm it?" Smirk... "Hmmm... You don't need to, I know what I have to do. It's better if we prepare our entire army for the upcoming grand and delightful event..." Upon hearing the last sentence, the kneeling figure in the robe almost collapsed under the pressure and aura emanating from the figure referred to as 'My Lord.' "A-Alright, My Lord. In my opinion, that new Emperor is just a foolish young man who has fallen in love with Princess Olivia and has been elevated to the Throne as yet another puppet Emperor controlled by all the Factions in the damn Arthia Empire. I will make sure to gather all our forces for that grand
He realized that his work efficiency would be compromised if he only focused on handling those documents without having adequate knowledge and skills. There seemed to be a small voice within him saying that there was a more efficient way to accomplish these tasks. Ideas like hunting or directly inspecting the conditions of the territories seemed tempting in his mind. However, Kazuki also recognized that such thoughts were too naive and unrealistic. He understood that the tasks he had to face required more careful and organized solutions. Nonetheless, Kazuki felt that there must be a better solution to improve his work efficiency. "If I could recruit talented individuals from Earth, they could help me tackle these complex tasks," Kazuki thought with confidence. The existence of talented people from Earth was one of Kazuki's assets. He realized that many of the problems faced in the Empire shared similarities with the issues faced on Earth, whether it be in terms of economy, agricu
*** Getting out of the taxi, Kazuki looked at the skyscraper in front of him, and then he saw a girl who seemed to be waiting for someone at the entrance of the building. When the girl saw Kazuki, she ran towards him, calling out happily, "Darling~! Welcome~! You're finally here!" The girl was Shiori. Kazuki responded casually, patting her head. And then, they walked towards the building, chatting casually. However, as they walked leisurely towards the main building, suddenly a group of people got out of a black car and they were blocked by a group of men in suits and a handsome young man with blond hair who walked towards them. Looking at the young man, Shiori's previously smiling face turned threatening. After arriving in front of them, the blond-haired man then asked in a condescending tone, "Oh~ Shiori-san. Is he the man you call your boyfriend? I've been waiting for a few minutes just to see this trash of a man?" With a low growl mixed with emotions, Shiori tried to ignor
*** "Yahh, he's gone..." Kazuki stared at Alex's car with a calm yet determined gaze, then he turned to Hiroshi. "Hey, I let go of that snotty kid. So, what do you want to say?" Kazuki asked while taking a handkerchief given by Shiori to wipe the blood stains off his face. "Ahhh..." Regaining his focus, Hiroshi asked, "Were you the one who saved my daughter earlier?" "Hmmm...? Your daughter...? Who is she?" Kazuki immediately fell into confusion when Hiroshi mentioned that. Then, Hiroshi lightly invited Kazuki, "Since this is not a pleasant sight for a little child, it's better if we meet her in my car, please follow me." "Alright." Kazuki nodded. They arrived in front of the car, and a little girl suddenly got out of the car with an adult man of distinct European appearance. "Hi, big brother~!" Sherly greeted Kazuki cheerfully. When Kazuki saw Sherly, he smiled and gently patted her head. Pat! Pat! "Thank goodness you've reunited with your family, little girl!" Kazuki excla
*** Currently, Shendo is engaged in an argument with an elderly man in the middle of an important meeting. They are discussing how to survive the crisis that has befallen the company. The elderly man expresses his frustration as things are not going well. Now, he glances towards the investors, who are looking at him with grim and dark expressions. Just as Shendo tries to refute him, someone sitting calmly in their seat interrupts, "Shendo, didn't I tell you from the beginning? You will regret rejecting the marriage proposal from our group, Forter, and now enjoy all this misery! Hahahahhh!!" Upon hearing the insult, Shendo immediately turns towards the person. "I don't care about that damn marriage proposal. I don't want my beloved daughter to marry a wretched brat who has played around with dozens of whores and has a despicable nature," grumbles Shendo, disdainfully snorting. Hearing the insult, Anton simply shrugs calmly, "Well, I can't force my will upon you. I can only sugges
*** Once they entered the room, Kazuki took a seat on the sofa across from Shendo. He then spoke openly to Shendo, "Shendo-san, would you like to regain your health as before, to bring happiness to your daughter and preserve everything your family has built? Haven't you been spying on me all this time and knowing that there is a genius researcher in my dojo? He can assist you with that." Kazuki could speak with such confidence because he had noticed several individuals lurking around his house, and there were others who had been spying on him for days, seemingly unconcerned that Kazuki was aware of their presence. However, since Kazuki showed no reaction to it, the spies paid no attention whatsoever. The sudden question startled Shendo, who was sitting calmly. "Why are you asking me this?" Adjusting his posture, Kazuki explained, "Well, I can see at a glance that the trust from the investors towards you has completely eroded. Whether it's because they are skeptical due to your age a
Kazuki could only take a deep breath. So all this time, his grandfather had a connection with the Emperor? He had always thought that his grandfather was just a master samurai in a traditional dojo. What was going on with all these shocking revelations? Trying to calm himself, Kazuki then asked with a serious tone, "If everything you're saying is true, then how did you find out about it?" "Ahhh... That's easy. I have many connections to gather information about it. The previous Prime Minister was actually a friend of mine, along with Abe and many other orphaned friends. He knew about Abe's relationship with the Emperor, but the information he had was very limited due to the Emperor's privacy." That's all Shendo could say to answer that question. With a weary sigh, Kazuki breathed out tiredly, realizing there was information he didn't know and that was extremely limited. "Sigh... Alright, that information is enough-" Once again, Shendo interrupted Kazuki's words, "However, there is
After Kazuki promised Shendo about everything and discussed how to deliver the news, they returned to the meeting room to have a meal with the investors, Hiroshi, the executives of the Shirasaki Group, and the executives of the Serizawa Group. The atmosphere in the meeting room became more relaxed after the earlier emotional moment. The guests began to enjoy the delicious dishes served on the long table in the center of the room. Kazuki sat next to Hiroshi, while Shendo sat beside him. They engaged in friendly conversation, actively participating in the ongoing discussions at the table. Kazuki captured the attention of the investors with his friendly demeanor and commanding presence. He answered each question wisely and provided detailed explanations regarding everything they inquired about, expressing his thoughts. Hiroshi, as the attending leader of the Serizawa Group, also joined the conversation. He offered valuable insights and perspectives on the electronics industry and busin
