The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1337

Nanako did not expect to hear that Jiro's brother had actually died in Aurous Hill. She felt a little embarrassed and thus, hurriedly said, "Sorry, Mr. Kobayashi. I had accidentally mentioned and reminded you of your painful memory." 1

Jiro hurriedly waved his hand before he said seriously, "It doesn't matter. Although this is a very depressing matter, Miss Ito, you are not an outsider to me after all. I can also relieve some of my sadness and grievances by telling you about it too..." 9

In fact, Jiro was not sad at all when he thought about his brother, Ichiro. On the contrary, he was actually very happy. 1

The idea of the eldest son inheriting the family business had always been deeply ingrained in the mind of the Japanese. 1

No matter how big or powerful a family was, the eldest son would always inherit the family business eventually. Even if the eldest son's ability was not as good as the second son or the other sons', he would still end up as the head of the family and his more capable brothers would end up assisting him instead. 1

Originally, Jiro's fate would be to assist his brother, Ichiro, to carry forward Kobayashi Pharma and the Kobayashi family and bring it to greater heights after his father's death. 5

Although Jiro was more capable and had stronger abilities compared to his elder brother, he had to abide by the Japanese rules and customs that he grew up with, i

If he dared to challenge or try to snatch the inheritance of the family over from his elder brother, then he would become a rebellious existence in the eyes of everyone in the Japanese society. Unexpectedly, his elder brother had gotten involved in an operation which inadvertently ended up making him the heir of the family instead. 7

What was even more perfect was the fact that the magical pill that his elder brother had sent back home had killed their father. Ichiro had not only helped Jiro to get rid of their father, who had been the head of the Kobayashi family at that time, but Ichiro also had to bear the burden of killing his father. That gave Jiro a reason to issue a killing order to kill him. 1

Speaking of it, this was simply a trifling gift with a weighty thought behind it. Ichiro had even given Jiro the rights to inherit the entire family. 1

However, the cost of killing his elder brother was really too high.

That b*stard with the last name Wade actually asked him for one billion dollars as soon as he opened his mouth. 4

Moreover, he was not asking him for one billion yen, but he was asking him for one billion dollars! i

He really felt the pain of losing this money for quite some time.

Fortunately, he was indeed a very capable person. Some time ago, he had led the development of the Kobayashi Stomach Pill, which was developed from some ancient Oskian prescriptions, and it ended up becoming the best stomach medication in Japan. 5

The worldwide global sale and marketing of this stomach medication was imminent. When that time comes, forget about one billion dollars. Even ten billion dollars or one hundred billion dollars would mean nothing to him at all.

Moreover, if he could marry Nanako and become the son-in-law of the Ito family, then Kobayashi Pharma would definitely gain more help and achieve even faster development. 1

It would not take long for Kobayashi Pharma to surpass Pfizer Inc. from the United States to become the world's largest pharmaceutical group! 5

When that day comes, he would be standing on the top of the world. 5

As he thought about this, Jiro looked at Nanako eagerly before he smiled and asked, "Miss Ito, you'll be graduating soon this year, right?"

"That's right." Nanako nodded as she replied, "I will be graduating in summer."

Jiro smiled as he said, "Oh! The senior year of university is really the best time of one's life. Many girls choose to get married immediately after they graduate from university. I wonder if you have any ideas in this regard, Miss Ito?" 6

Nanako shook her head and said, "All of my thoughts are fully occupied with combat and fighting. I do not have any thoughts on falling in love for the time being."

Jiro was not discouraged and he continued asking," Then, what kind of men do you like, Miss Ito?" 1

Nanako replied, "I have not actually considered this question before because I have not liked any men before."
