Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 763 Meeting

Is fate predetermined, or can it be changed? Should we believe in fate and give up resistance, or should we hold on to our heroic ambitions and fight a tragic struggle?

In the elevator, Kitahara felt as if the melody of the Symphony of Fate floated in his ears. Eriko, this person is interesting. She actually used Beethoven's symphony as a codeword for a meeting. If she didn't have some inner insights, she probably wouldn't do this.

The elevator door slowly opened.

In front of me is a luxuriously decorated staircase. On both sides of the staircase are matte metal walls, with European classical oil paintings hanging on both sides. The handrails of the staircase are transparent glass, decorated with gold edges.

At the same time, at the top, there are two exquisite sculptures, which can be felt to be the works of famous artists just by looking at them.

This is just a space for the owner in a tower, but it is so luxurious. It is hard to imagine. From this, it can be seen that the people living in this tower are either rich or noble.

Beiyuan raised his feet, stepped onto the stairs, and climbed up step by step.

Coming to the top——

The reception area at the entrance is a bar counter similar to a bar. Behind it are a variety of wine bottles. The wines look quite old, and some of the seals on them are even yellowed, indicating that these are valuable wines with a long history.

Looking further ahead, there is an extremely large hall, like a gymnasium. It is hard to imagine how such a facility could be built on the top of a tower.

At the end of the hall is a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Although it was cloudy in Tokyo at this time, the floor-to-ceiling glass windows still let in the outdoor light, making this an extremely bright observatory. It is no exaggeration to say that the view here is even better than the night view of Tokyo from the Tokyo Skytree.

The floor is thickly carpeted.

In such a hall with a wide view, sofas and coffee tables are placed everywhere, allowing people to find a satisfactory seat and sit down to chat.

In addition, there is a spiral staircase next to the lobby that leads to other facilities in the club.

When a waiter saw Beiyuan coming, he immediately stepped forward respectfully.

Beiyuan waved his hand, and the waiter understood and left. Beiyuan walked towards the hall, his leather shoes stepped on the carpet, and walked forward step by step.

The facilities here are very luxurious.

But at this moment, Beiyuan had no intention of caring about these things.

Rather than a luxurious lobby, this place is more like a dangerous desert or jungle.

There was almost no one in the hall at this time.

There is only a figure at the end.

The figure seemed to be gazing at the rainy scene in Tokyo, sitting motionless on the sofa.

Kitahara quickened his pace and walked forward.

Because he knew that the figure was that woman.

As the distance got closer, the outline of the figure became clearer and clearer.

He walked until he was only seven or eight steps away from her.

At this time, I could finally see the figure clearly.

The woman was wearing a black dress and was a bit thin. She heard the footsteps and slowly turned around. Her facial features were delicate, but her face was a bit pale. Although the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes revealed her true age, her face and figure as a whole were no different from a woman in her thirties.

For some reason, her eyes gave people a feeling of loneliness. However, it was precisely in this slightly empty look that one could see a hint of determination. A strong character that could turn the tide in times of crisis. It was strange that the temperament of the woman in front of him was wonderful. After taking a look at her, he actually felt a sense of affinity.

The woman in front of him was exactly what Kitahara had been looking for.

Eriko!!!!

"You're here. Lawyer Kitahara." A slightly ethereal female voice sounded.

Just the first sentence made Kitahara stunned. Originally, Kitahara just wanted to pretend to be a guest of the club and get close to Eriko, but now his name was called out by the person in front of him before he even saw her face to face.

"How do you know it's me and not Shirai?" In that case, Kitahara decided not to pretend anymore and sat down opposite Eriko.

"My feeling." "Why?"

"You attended the board of directors of the Tokyo Central Bank."

"So what if I participated?"

"You messed up the situation."

“I don’t have that much energy.”

"Really? At least I know a lawyer named Eto who has this ability." Eriko suddenly said the name "Eto".

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Kitahara didn't expect Eriko to mention "Eto" first. It seemed that things were gradually developing in a direction he had not expected. The fact that she took the initiative to mention Eto's name showed that Eriko had collected almost all the information about him in advance.

As expected, there is a huge gap between the two sides’ intelligence capabilities.

Although Kitahara's eyes continued to fall on Eriko, he began to look around with his peripheral vision. Eriko discovered in advance that it was not Shirai who came to see her, and there must be an ambush targeting her around.

"Why are you so nervous?" Eriko said calmly.

"I'm just maintaining basic vigilance." Kitahara said.

"You used Shirai to lure me, but I should be the one who should be wary," Eriko continued.

The woman in front of him lazily picked up the tea and took a sip.

"What is your relationship with Eto?" Kitahara asked directly.

"My college classmate."

"You know, I'm not interested in whether we are classmates or not."

"What do you want to ask."

"Where is Eto? Why is there your business card on his car?"

"You really want to know?"

"Yes."

Eriko began to look at the lawyer named Kitahara. This was their first meeting. However, it was not their first confrontation. From the bidding fraud case of Shinjuku City Hall, Eriko used the Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau to take ruthless action against Kitahara. As for the Yoshizawa Trust case, Eriko even tried to manipulate the direction of Hanzawa's investigation to fight against Kitahara.

"I sense that you are very anxious."

"Please stop talking nonsense."

"In all these years, you are the first person who dares to speak to me in this tone." Jiang Lizi said calmly, "If I am willing, when you step out of this tower, I can guarantee that your head will be separated before twelve o'clock tonight."

In an almost calm tone, he uttered an extremely terrifying threat.

Eriko told Kitahara that she could use the underground gang to take his life at any time if she wanted.

"Don't worry, I will twist your head off before you kill me." Kitahara replied in the same way.

The lawyer's extremely calm tone also told Eriko that he was serious.

He was equally unscrupulous.

When Eriko heard Kitahara's response, she paused slightly while holding the teacup. Perhaps she had not expected that this student who graduated from the Law School of the University of Tokyo would speak so frankly and without taboos.

The woman actually smiled, but I didn't know what she was laughing at.

"Before you listen to Eto's story, would you like to listen to a woman's story?" Eriko's voice sounded.
