Chapter 182: The Fourth Partner

Masayoshi Kishimoto received a call from Kazuya Takahashi. The other party said that the three of them would get together in the evening. For that reason, he had no reason to refuse and readily agreed.

Masayoshi Kishimoto hung up the phone and looked in the direction where Rie Sakai was sitting and said, “In the evening, I won’t be home for dinner. The three of us, Kazuya and Takayuki, will be having a small gathering outside.”

“When the three of you get together, there’s bound to be nothing good.” Sakai Rie said nonchalantly.

“You’re the one who always likes to wear colored glasses when looking at people.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.

Sakai Rie was unimpressed, “I’m merely telling the truth.”

“Enough nagging with you, I’m leaving. By the way, don’t forget to pick up the contents of the suitcase for me.” Masayoshi Kishimoto stood up and prepared to leave the house.

Sakai Rie didn’t say “no”. She needed to do these things for both reasons and reasons. She also knew that even if she didn’t do it, someone else would have to do it.

Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at the cell phone in his hand. He felt that it was still early enough that he didn’t need to rush to take a taxi back to the Taito District. He was going to take the subway there himself.

The three of them had grown up together within the Taito district of Tokyo since they were young. Although their respective family environments and backgrounds were not quite the same, they had been good friends since childhood. They learned to smoke together, learn to drink together, learn to fight together, and learn to pick up girls together ……

Masayoshi Kishimoto arrived at the Italian fine western restaurant that Kazuya Takahashi had mentioned on time. Takahashi Kazuya and Nanno Takayuki both arrived at the place early, and he was the last person to arrive.

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t need to order, Takahashi and Kazuya took care of that. All three of them knew each other well what each of them liked to eat and what they didn’t like to eat. They sat around a round table and began to drink the pre-dinner drinks that all three of them liked.

“Not bad, you all really didn’t bring any chicks.” Kazuya Takahashi said playfully as he took a sip of wine from the glass in his right hand.

“Justice and I aren’t beasts like you. You are averaging a new girlfriend every month. I’ve always wondered the question, can your body stand it?” Nanno Takayuki chuckled.

“I won’t bother you much with that. You’d better pay more attention to your own body! Don’t ever get hollowed out by women.

Don’t pretend to be serious in front of me. I don’t know you two. The number of girls you’ve been with is no less than mine. So, things come together, people come together.

The reason why the three of us are able to get together is also because we share the same odor.” Takahashi Kazuya put down the wine glass in his hand and said.

“Don’t spread and piggyback on the innocent me in the war between you guys. I’m not the same person I used to be.” Masayoshi Kishimoto lethargically leaned his back on top of the chair and said meaningfully.

“It’s true that you’re not the same person you used to be. Isn’t this money a bit too much for the current you? You’re actually willing to spend 4 million dollars to merge with Takayuki’s company.

If I were to make a bid, 400 dollars would be tops. Also, I’m pissed off that you all started screwing up together and didn’t bring me along for the ride.

We’ve been an iron triangle since we were kids. When have we ever been separated? Are you trying to kick me out?” Kazuya Takahashi said half-seriously, half-jokingly.

“My group’s legal department is still short a minister. If you can quit your job at your dad’s law firm, then here you go.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without joking.

“That’s what you said yourself. Takayuki, you have to testify for me.” Kazuya Takahashi said in a serious manner.

“Fine, I’ll testify for you.” Nanno Takayuki couldn’t help but say.

“When I go back tonight, I’ll tell my father that I quit.” Kazuya Takahashi swore.

“I’m deeply skeptical about that.” Nanno Takayuki said with disbelief all over his face.

“No need to be skeptical. Tomorrow morning, if I don’t report to your company, I’ll directly commit hara-kiri.” Takahashi Kazuya said seriously.

“You’re not joking with us, right?” Nanno Takayuki looked at his serious look and made a confirmation.

Takahashi Kazuya blurted out “No” in a forceful tone as he faced the other party. He turned his head above his neck to look at Masayoshi Kishimoto again and said seriously, “The head of the Legal Affairs Department is me.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto had no intention of changing his mind. He was willing for the other party to join in, not only was he outstanding in the legal profession, but also the Takahashi family had generations of men who were either lawyers or judges.

In the Japanese judicial world, the Takahashi family’s connections were quite extensive. It would be an excellent thing for his company to have Kazuya Takahashi on board.

Justice Kishimoto never expected Takahashi Kazuya to join in. After all, the other party was perfectly capable of inheriting his dad’s law firm.

He expressed his skepticism, “Will your dad really agree?”

“Whether he agrees or not. Anyway, I don’t plan to work in his law firm anymore. You all know that I am also a capable man, so why am I being gossiped about by some people as relying on my father to get ahead?

I’ll show everyone that even if I leave my old man’s law firm, I’m still capable of accomplishing something.” Takahashi Kazuya stated his motives and thoughts.

Masayoshi Kishimoto completely understood. Takahashi Kazuya wasn’t acting on impulse, it was all about accumulated dissatisfaction. With this opportunity or trigger, he wanted to get rid of his father completely.

This was a case of the light of his predecessor overpowering his own individual brilliance. Kazuya Takahashi wanted to prove to all those who questioned him that he could do it.

Masayoshi Kishimoto took the initiative to extend his right hand towards Kazuya Takahashi and said, “The Hard Gold Group welcomes you to join.”

Takahashi Kazuya similarly extended his own right hand towards the other party and shook it saying, “It is said that Nintendo’s legal department is the strongest legal department within the video game industry.

Then, my goal is to make our Hard Gold Group’s legal department the strongest legal department in existence within this one industry in the future.”

“I look forward to this day.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said solemnly.

“It’s already disgusting enough for the three of us men to get together and eat Italian food. You two men should stop being so disgusting, okay?” Nanno Takayuki suddenly said with more than a playful laugh.

Masayoshi Kishimoto let go of his hand and looked around the restaurant slightly, it was all in pairs. Only their table was three men.

Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a smile or not, “By all rights, this is really a place where you should come to eat with a woman. We are sort of ruining the romantic mood and atmosphere of others.”

“It’s really great. Let’s just spoil it properly.” Takahashi Kazuya responded and said.

“Aren’t you afraid that the shopkeeper will kick us out?” Takayuki Nanno spread his hands and said.

“He’ll try kicking one out? I’ll sue him until he goes bankrupt.” Takahashi Kazuya said without a smile on his face.
