Chapter 2262 This is how it's fair
Iwasakiya's reaction startled everyone in the room.
Iwasaki Aozora asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Iwasaki's face was very pale, his lips were trembling, and there was a faint glimmer of tears in his eyes.
He said, somewhat agitated, "Iwasaki Ara... has been killed!"
"what?!"
Almost everyone gasped in surprise.
Although Iwasaki Araki is practically invisible within the family, he is still a member of the family.
His murder was unexpected, shocking, and infuriating to his family.
"Iwasaki Ara was killed? What happened?"
Iwasaki's breathing quickened, and he asked sharply.
After calming down a bit, Iwasakiya said, "It was Officer Shoichi from the Metropolitan Police Department who called. He received a report from a bathhouse saying... that Iwasaki Ara had been murdered in the bathhouse..."
"Who did this?" Iwasaki suddenly stood up.
The Iwasaki family is the second largest wealthy family in Osaka, yet Iwasaki Masaru's grandson was murdered in a brothel.
If this gets out, where will he put his old face?
"The police are still investigating, but according to the store, the person who killed Iwasaki Ara was a ninja... Yes, judging from his attire, he looks like an Iga-ryu ninja!"
Iwasakiya quickly replied.
"Iga-ryu ninja?"
Iwasaki Sora's eyes flickered, looking somewhat surprised.
"Has Iwasaki Ara offended someone recently? Why would an Iga-ryu ninja want to kill him?"
Iwasaki asked in a cold, sharp voice.
Iwasaki shook his head somewhat blankly and said, "Probably not. He just loves to have fun and always goes alone, he doesn't even want to bring bodyguards. Besides, he always goes to the same places and has a good relationship with the owners there..."
At this moment, Tetsuya Iwasaki, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "No need to guess, I know who did it."
Iwasaki Masaru, Iwasakiya and others all looked at Iwasaki Tetsuya.
"you know?"
Iwasaki asked, somewhat surprised.
Arakawa Iwasaki is Tetsuya Iwasaki's younger brother.
Although the two brothers have very different personalities, they usually have a good relationship.
Iwasaki Ara usually only talks to Iwasaki Tetsuya about anything, and even when he needs money to go out and splurge, he will go to Iwasaki Tetsuya.
Therefore, the only person who truly understands Iwasaki Ara is Tetsuya Iwasaki.
Tetsuya Iwasaki's eyes flashed coldly as he stated with absolute certainty, "Arashi Iwasaki must have been killed by someone from the Miyazaki family!"
After these words were spoken, the room fell into a deathly silence.
No one spoke up easily.
Although Iwasaki and Miyazaki are mortal enemies, they have always maintained a non-aggression pact on the surface.
For decades, the two companies have been rivals, but their competition has remained purely commercial. Their feud has never escalated to the point of armed conflict.
Therefore, when Tetsuya Iwasaki expressed his judgment, everyone found it hard to believe.
Why do you think that?
Iwasaki asked.
Tetsuya Iwasaki said unhurriedly, "First of all, it's an open secret that the Miyazaki family and the Igamon family have a close relationship. In particular, their relationship with the Igamon Momochi family is even closer."
"Secondly, the Miyazaki family and my Iwasaki family are sworn enemies, and have been fighting openly and covertly for over a hundred years. The reason we maintained a state of fighting without breaking apart in the past was that neither of our families could truly threaten the other's foundation."
"But this time is different. The Miyazaki family is facing an unprecedented crisis. They must have realized that we want to buy up the companies under the Miyazaki Group, so they are extremely anxious."
"In order to prevent us from successfully acquiring companies such as Yamayu Metals, they resorted to extreme measures, including the assassination of Iwasaki Ara. This was to give us a warning and make us back down."
"Furthermore, according to the intelligence we have, there have indeed been quite a few Iga-mon ninjas active in Osaka these past two days!"
He paused briefly, then smiled dismissively and said with disdain, "Actually, this is just them resorting to desperate measures! The more they do this, the more it proves that their crisis is far from over."
His analysis was very logical and reasonable, and Iwasaki-ya, Iwasaki Aozora, and others nodded in agreement.
Iwasaki Masashi's face turned extremely ugly.
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. After a full ten seconds, he exhaled a breath of stale air and said coldly, "Miyazaki Akinobu has gone too far! Iwasaki Ara cannot die in vain. Since the Miyazaki family is so ruthless, then my Iwasaki family cannot back down!"
Iwasaki immediately bowed and asked, "Father, what should we do?"
"A blood debt must be paid in blood!"
Iwasaki coldly uttered a sentence.
Iwasaki's eyelids twitched, and he immediately said, "Yes, blood for blood!"
At this moment, Iwasaki Kiyo hesitated and said, "Father, while Iwasaki Tetsuya's analysis makes sense, we ultimately lack evidence. I think we should proceed with caution... just in case..."
Iwasaki Shoichi waved his hand and said, "There's no such thing as 'what if'! Iwasaki and Miyazaki are bound to fight sooner or later. Now is our Iwasaki family's chance. We must not only avenge our past humiliation, but also completely annihilate the Miyazaki family, ensuring they never have a chance to rise again!"
Hearing his firm stance, Iwasaki Kiyo dared not say anything more.
"Yes, Father!"
The three brothers bowed in agreement at the same time.
Iwasaki Sora asked, "So what's our next step?"
Tetsuya Iwasaki sneered and said, "They assassinated Iwasaki Ara, so we'll retaliate in kind! Isn't Miyazaki Kojiro of the Miyazaki family still lying in the hospital?"
Everyone immediately understood that Tetsuya Iwasaki wanted to kill Kojiro Miyazaki to avenge Ara Iwasaki.
Iwasaki nodded and said coldly, "That's right! He killed one of my grandsons, so I must kill one of his grandsons too! That's fair."
The room was instantly filled with murderous intent. Several young members of the Iwasaki family suddenly felt the temperature drop several degrees, and a chill ran down their spines.
Following this logic, aren't they the next targets to be killed?
After Iwasaki finished speaking, he coldly surveyed everyone in the room and said in a deep voice, "Starting tomorrow, every member of the family must be accompanied by enough bodyguards when going out, and should not leave the home or the company unless absolutely necessary!"
"Hi!"
Everyone answered in unison.
They also knew the seriousness of the situation.
If the two families were to actually go to war, it would inevitably be a bloody massacre.
Having grown accustomed to a life of luxury, they were naturally unwilling to be killed by their opponent in a muddled manner.
"Aozora, contact Takatani-kun in Hokkaido immediately and ask him to come to Osaka right away."
Immediately, Iwasaki Masaru said to Iwasaki Aozora coldly.
Iwasaki Sora's brow twitched, and he bowed, replying, "Hi!"
Iwasaki Masashi breathed a sigh of relief and said wearily, "Iwasaki-ya, go and take care of Iwasaki Ara's matter. Everyone else, you can leave."
Iwasaki and the others left the courtyard one after another, and the house was empty in an instant.
Iwasaki was not sleepy at all. Instead, he sat in a mahogany armchair, staring intently at the door.
…………
The next day, Miyazaki Akinoku woke up refreshed.
However, a sense of unease lingered in his heart.
Xie Ping's words kept echoing in his ears.
Seven days have passed, and we've now reached the third day.
After washing up and having breakfast, he headed to the Miyazaki Society headquarters.
The headquarters building of the association is much quieter now.
There are no longer so many reporters surrounding the entrance, citizens no longer rush over to watch the spectacle, and stock market investors are no longer so anxiously waiting here.
The staff of the entire organization gradually calmed down.
Some employees who were originally planning to switch jobs have temporarily adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
Yesterday, the stock prices of all companies under the Miyazaki Group rose steadily.
Especially after the afternoon opening, there was a surge in prices, which gave a strong boost to the confidence of citizens who hold Miyazaki Group shares.
Miyazaki Taisei, Miyazaki Yuto, and the others also breathed a huge sigh of relief.
At this rate, the Miyazaki Group's financial crisis will soon be resolved. In less than ten days, its market value will recover to more than 80% of what it was before the last crash.
If that's the case, then the Miyazaki group has secured its position.
However, some investors are still taking a wait-and-see approach.
After all, a brief rebound cannot give the market and capital enough confidence.
Miyazaki Akinoku arrived at the company and immediately convened a meeting of all shareholders.
He is about to announce an important decision of his.
During this period, all shareholders were in a state of panic, and many were quietly selling their shares.
They only calmed down a little yesterday.
At this moment, they were all sitting around the oval conference table in Conference Room 1, waiting for Miyazaki Akinobu's arrival.
At 8:30, Miyazaki Akinoku arrived at the conference room on time.
All shareholders immediately stood up, bowed, and shouted, "President Miyazaki!"
Miyazaki Akinoku walked to the head seat, raised his hand to gesture for him to sit down, and said calmly, "Please sit down."
He then got straight to the point: "Today's meeting has only one matter to discuss, please vote on it..."
