Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 765: Paradise on Earth!

"Are you kidding?" Kitahara said, "You are a banker. Of course, although you are no longer in the bank, you are still a financial expert. Heaven on earth? If you have such an ambition, I am afraid that the Congress is not the Tokyo Central Bank that suits you."

"Who said that? I didn't have it." Eriko said suddenly.

At this moment, Kitahara suddenly realized what Shirai had said before, that Eriko might have a connection with a director and a member of parliament in the Tokyo Central Bank. At that time, Kitahara also habitually thought that there might be some kind of exchange and transfer of power and money. However, after Eriko's talk about heaven on earth today, he realized that he was completely wrong about this matter.

"Originally, I might have stayed at the Industrial Central Bank," Eriko said. "Then, there was a merger. The merger of Tokyo Dai-ichi Bank and Industrial Central Bank. I thought it was just a boring merger between big banks."

"But, I met Eto," Eriko said.

"You really want to find him, right?" The woman in front of him showed a meaningful smile.

"and then."

"The merger of two large banks naturally requires a lot of work from lawyers and accountants, including calculating assets and liabilities, drafting merger contracts, determining new personnel structures, and so on. At the time, there were hundreds of lawyers serving the two banks. Eto was one of them."

"At first, I didn't pay much attention to Eto. After all, although we were classmates in college, we rarely contacted each other. At that time, the work of the financing department was actually basically suspended. Our main work was to cooperate with lawyers and accountants to promote the merger of the two banks. It was probably one night when the merger was almost completed. We, the lawyers and accountants booked a nearby izakaya for a celebration banquet."

"There were a lot of people here, just like at any other drinking party, everyone was drunk. From time to time, there were noises of drunkenness."

"I don't really like this kind of occasion," Eriko continued. "I rarely drink, and I follow a Puritan lifestyle."

"Originally, I was going to get up and take a walk outside."

"Just as I stood up and walked out, I noticed Jiang Teng. Jiang Teng was not drinking, and he was not chatting or laughing loudly with others."

"What is he doing?" Kitahara asked.

"You would never guess," Eriko said, "Eto was sitting alone in a corner, reading quietly. He just ate a little at first, and when everyone started drinking and chatting, he left his seat and read in a corner of the store."

"I still remember very clearly the book he was reading at the time."

"What book is it?"

"Herbert Spencer's Social Statics," Eriko said.

Kitahara knew Spencer. He was a 19th-century philosopher who transformed Bentham's utilitarianism, the principle of promoting the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people, and deduced a set of evolutionary ideas about society. Listening to Eriko's words, Kitahara felt more and more uneasy.

It's not just Eriko who's crazy.

Eto is also a lunatic.

Kitahara is not afraid of any opponent.

The only thing I don't want my opponent to be is a madman.

The reason is simple.

You can never predict the behavior of a madman.

"At that time, I started chatting with Eto," Eriko said. "I didn't expect that we would hit it off unexpectedly. Later, he introduced me to a director of the Tokyo Central Bank and a member of Congress. From then on, I started to rise in the Tokyo Central Bank and became the deputy governor."

Kitahara thought of many possibilities.

But I didn't expect it to be like this.

A madman meets another madman.

This kind of event with a very low probability can be encountered by me, it's really weird. "What's going on with the Minghui Island real estate bad incident?" Kitahara said.

"That's a pity." Eriko said, "In fact, we already knew that the local council of Meilijian Minghui Island would not agree to pass the bill to open a casino."

Just by saying this, Kitahara immediately understood the truth of the Minghui Island incident. Although Jiang Lizi and others knew that Minghui Island would not be allowed to open a casino, they still invested a large amount of bank funds in the island for development. Then the real purpose is very clear.

They want to transfer assets!

They want to transfer the bank’s funds overseas!

I didn't expect that the truth behind the incident that caused such a profound conflict between the former Tokyo faction and the former industrial faction would be like this.

Both the former Tokyo faction and the former industry faction were fooled by Eriko and the congressman behind the scenes!

The Minghui Island bad incident was not a matter of whether a bank’s decision was right or wrong. It was about bad debts and transferring funds overseas from the very beginning.

At this time, Kitahara also thought that many people in the original industry group still worshipped Eriko as a god and regarded her as a person who saved the original industry group. However, Eriko never regarded herself as an original industry group. She had always only regarded the original industry group as an object of her use. The so-called idea of ​​revenge on the former Tokyo group was just a pretense to fool the original industry group.

"So, you also took advantage of the Minghui Island incident to leave the bank."

"That's right. It's just a pity that this incident implicated many of my innocent colleagues."

"So, you still feel regret." Kitahara said sarcastically.

"But, Ms. Eriko," Kitahara said, "I have no interest in the Heaven on Earth. Besides, the things you did after you left the bank, money laundering, kabuki, loan sharking, underground banks, illegal foreign exchange trading, etc. I really don't see how any of these things have anything to do with Heaven on Earth."

"I just want to know where Eto is." Kitahara emphasized heavily.

"You and I are the same kind of people." Eriko said.

"I think you are probably mistaken." Beiyuan said, "The people who live in heaven are angels. But I am just a mortal, an ugly, sinful mortal. As a mortal like me, I have no impulse to live in heaven."

"Would you like to join us? This is the chance I give you." said Eriko.

Her expression remained extremely serious.

"Sorry." Kitahara blurted out, "Please tell me where Eto is."

"Listen..." Eriko suddenly made a "hush" gesture, "Lawyer Kitahara. Did you hear the voice of heaven?"

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

Kitahara was confused by Eriko's move and had no idea what she was trying to be mysterious about.

However, the next second——

The view of Tokyo from the floor-to-ceiling windows. In a tall building not far away, a flash of fire suddenly appeared, as if something had exploded inside the building. Then, fierce flames suddenly burst out from it, and a large number of unknown objects suddenly erupted along with the flames.

Then, a terrifying sound was heard:

"boom!!!!!"

It was like the earth was shaking and humming.

The devil who takes people's lives has come back to the world.

The fire scene of the distant building was reflected on the French windows, forming a flickering light spot. The blazing fire seemed to be burning close to Eriko's face at this moment. This woman who looked somewhat peaceful was extremely terrifying. She actually planted a bomb in Tokyo! !
