Super God: If I punch you, you will die

The letter stated, "The current management team has been making pointless investments and neglecting its responsibility to reward shareholders. We should remove the current management team, transform the company, save on unnecessary expenses, and give back more to shareholders."

It is very difficult to ensure that shareholders have a correct understanding of the true situation regarding the company's operations.

Hideyoshi Ushiromiya worked tirelessly for the company, but his achievements were maliciously misinterpreted, causing him to lose the trust of the shareholders. As a result, this hostile force began to control nearly half of the shares.

At this stage, Hideyoshi Ushiromiya also realized that something was wrong and began to buy back the shares. However, after the shareholders learned that someone was making a large-scale acquisition of the company's shares, they each put exorbitant prices on Hideyoshi's acquisition and proxy forms for the shareholders' meeting, leaving Hideyoshi, who had no room for negotiation, with no way to deal with the situation.

When both sides want the same thing, the value of that thing will increase; this is an inevitable consequence of capitalism.

The fact that the person who wins the majority of votes can control everything is an inherent characteristic of democracy.

In the end, whoever acquires the most shares will be the winner.

In other words, whoever can raise more funds will win everything.

Hideyoshi Ushiromiya has been pushed to the brink. If he cannot obtain a large sum of money, he may lose the company he has nurtured and built up.

Therefore, he urgently needed to obtain a large sum of cash immediately.

He didn't have time to wait for Jinzang, who might die at any moment, to pass away, nor did he have time to inherit the estate.

"I heard you've had a lot of issues lately, Lyufov. People often say the overseas market is terrifying, and it seems they're right. The court rulings there are very emotional; they'll never make lenient judgments for foreigners. I think your lawyer probably advised you to settle with them, saying that it would cost less money in the end, right?"

Upon hearing Kurausu's words, Kirie looked at her husband with a surprised expression.

"What is Uncle saying?"

"It's nothing, just some work-related disputes, nothing serious. Money can solve it."

Ushiromiya Kirie immediately sensed the meaning behind the subtle expression on Ushiromiya Ryufu's face. Her husband was embroiled in a serious dispute that she was unaware of, and she had been agonizing over it for a long time.

"That's absolutely right. Everything in this world can be solved with money, just like sibling bonds can be bought back with money. This is very sensitive about infringements, but as long as you have money, everything can be settled. Long live capitalism! But there are also rumors that the settlement amount might be as high as several million dollars?"

Ushiromiya Ryūfū operated niche businesses and amassed enormous wealth in the market, but these niche businesses could never be brought to light.

Giant Corporation is preparing to sue Leufort's company for copyright infringement.

Based on the analysis of all the conditions, it can be inferred that the chances of winning the case are extremely slim, and Lyufov is already facing the situation of being forced to surrender unconditionally.

But he still has the option of using money to resolve the issue. As long as he can pay, even with heavy losses, there are still many ways to recover.

But if you can't pay, you'll lose everything.

Therefore, he urgently needed to obtain a large sum of cash immediately.

"Lou Zuo is an honest and upright good sister who wouldn't get involved in dangerous money games. But I think you've been ruined by your own overly kind nature, haven't you? I really think you shouldn't have rashly become a guarantor."

"This has nothing to do with Brother Zangjiu."

Ushiromiya Roza rarely showed emotion and shouted loudly because she thought Ushiromiya Kurausu couldn't possibly know about this.

Ushiromiya Kurausu looked at her like that and let out a few muffled laughs.

It's really quite simple.

Each of them desperately needed a large sum of cash immediately.

In other words, the situation has reversed.

Because only those Tibetans who are threatened by them do not urgently need large sums of cash.

In contrast, the three who threatened him all needed to get a large sum of cash as soon as possible.

In other words, the longer this agreement drags on, the more advantageous it will be for Ushiromiya Zangu.

Ushiro Miyazaki was always very cunning. He knew each of their Achilles tendons from the beginning, but that alone was not enough to guarantee victory.

So he held back until the very last moment, waiting until he had a clear understanding of how his younger siblings would make their moves before switching from defense to offense.

"If possible, I would also like to help my beloved younger brother and sister-in-law raise money to get through the crisis. Unfortunately, I don't have any money on hand. If there is any generous person who can raise such a large sum of money as 750 million, I would like you to go to him first."

Ushiro Miyazaki was extremely pleased with himself, and his words were utterly hypocritical.

The younger siblings could only grit their teeth and pretend they hadn't heard.

If they could find a wealthy patron who could easily provide that money, they wouldn't have done something like this.

It's precisely because we've exhausted all other options that we're willing to take such a huge gamble.

“If you absolutely have to rely on me, your older brother, I can use my connections to help you find a sugar daddy. Didn’t I just say I can’t find such a sugar daddy? Then there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Ushiromiya Zangu's smug chuckle slowly permeated the entire living room.

The younger siblings who had previously cornered their elder brother could only grit their teeth and their expressions became ferocious.

"Are you kidding me? I don't want to owe my brother a favor. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?"

“Eiyu,”

"Damn it, if we ask Brother Zangjiu for help, will he really help us?"

"Didn't I say I could only help you find other investors? Of course, I will try my best to speak on your behalf and negotiate the lowest possible interest rate."

"Damn it, they've got us cornered!"

"Honey, calm down."

“I’m perfectly calm, Kirie, I’m extremely calm, damn it.”

Ushiromiya Kirie grasped her husband's hand, but Ryū Ushiromiya Fumio felt that such a gesture only made him appear more pathetic, and shook her hand away.

When Ushiromiya Kurausu saw him like this, he laughed heartily.

"If only we could find the gold that Father hid right now, I could give each of you 2.5 billion on the spot. What a pity, what a pity, the utmost pity. I am truly, extremely, incredibly, regretful beyond words. Tonight, why don't we drink and laugh together, solve the mystery of the Beatrice Inscription, and find the gold Father left behind? As long as the four of us brothers and sisters work together, I believe there is no mystery we cannot solve, hahaha."

Meanwhile, in the study.

"Interesting. What conditions did they propose?"

Jia Yin answered the question from Udai-no-miya Kinzo:

"Regardless of whether Master Zanguyi discovers the gold, he must pay Miss Huiyu, Master Liufu, and Miss Louza a total of 7.5 billion yen, of which 10% must be paid in full before March."

"Hahaha, that idiot Zangjiu actually tripped up by his younger siblings. Isn't that hilarious enough? But it seems they're ultimately not reliable enough, aren't they?"

"Yes, Master Zangjiu had already seen through the fact that the three of them were in dire need of a large sum of cash."

"Hmph, so at least he can see that much? This kid is really not good enough, but not bad enough either. What are they doing now?"

"The conversation has been temporarily interrupted; we are now discussing Miss Beatrice's epitaph."

"They want to figure out where I've hidden my gold?"

"Yes."

Ushiromiya Kinzo put down his reading glasses and scoffed.

"So, it all comes down to whether the miracle happens first, or whether these fools find the gold first? This is going to be interesting. If these fools solve my puzzle first, I'll lose everything. Let them devour my bones; their greed can grant miracles to great magic. But... if the miracle happens first, if it happens first, then Beatrice will awaken again. The smile I've spent most of my life pursuing will awaken again. Ah! Beatrice. The sacred night of the miracle is coming, the gamble between me and the devil is about to begin. I will win, I will survive. I'll give you everyone else's lives. Wealth, fame, possessions, gold—I don't want any of it. I just want to see your smile one more time."

Ushiromiya Kinzo coughed violently, and he was in great discomfort.

Jiayin took a few steps forward, intending to massage her master's back, but Ushiromiya Kinzo stopped her first.

"Do you know why I deliberately placed the clues to the gold where everyone could see them?"

"not understand."

"Because the power of magic depends on the magnitude of the risk. The more people who want to find Beatrice's gold, the greater the danger, and the greater the miracle that can be triggered when the magic is completed."

To put it bluntly, magic is a gamble. It's not about having superior ability that makes you a winner; rather, it's about the winner obtaining magical miracles that makes them appear superior. Do you understand? Just like the miracle of life requires winning a divine prize with only a one in hundreds of millions chance... Isn't that a bit too difficult for you?"

"Really sorry."

"It's alright, that's all there is to it. Whoever can solve the mystery of Beatetrich's inscription will receive everything I've built. This includes wealth, fame, gold, and the title of head of the Ushiromiya family—everything I've established. This mystery isn't just for my children; even you, if you can solve it, will be entitled to everything."

"Yes. But I can't understand such a difficult puzzle."

“Of course, because I deliberately made it a difficult problem, but you have to try. Your attempt will help my magic create miracles. If everyone tries and no one succeeds, there's nothing that can be done. However, once the miracles come together and create the power of magic, then Beatrice will awaken. So you have to try, everyone has to try, and dedicate your power to my magic. Do you understand?”

"Understood. I will try my best."

For a long while afterward, Ushiromiya Kinzo remained excitedly holding his head and muttering to himself.

Without waiting for the master to give another command, Jiayin stood still and waited quietly.

After a while, Ushiromiya Kinzo also noticed this.

"It's alright, go downstairs. There's a bag of snacks on the wine cabinet; consider it my reward for you. Take it."

"No need, because I am furniture."

"Furniture doesn't need snacks, right? Fine, then you may leave."

"Yes, excuse me."

Jia Yin bowed and walked out of the study.

As soon as the door closed, a heavy locking sound rang out.

But this wasn't the sound Jia Yin made when she locked the door; the door locks automatically.

Only those who have seen the Golden Hall can enter; once they leave, they cannot enter again.

Ushiromiya Kinzo distrusted all his blood relatives, locking himself in his study and creating a barrier that isolated him from the outside world. He could no longer trust his children who inherited his bloodline, and was only willing to open his heart to the servants who called themselves furniture.

Before the portrait

Two men stand in front of a portrait of Beatrice.

"Dr. Nanjo, what's wrong?"

"Brother Genji. It's nothing, I just have nowhere to go."

Nanjo smiled wryly and turned to look at the living room door. That single gesture seemed enough for Genji to understand what Nanjo wanted to say.

Genji had a general understanding of the situation of the entire family.

He must be frowning at the fact that they are talking about something very disrespectful to the master he serves in the living room.

But it was really hard to tell from his indifferent expression.

"However, I really don't understand why Mr. Kinzo would write such a provocative article?"

As Nanjo spoke, he looked at Beatetori's portrait, his gaze pointing to the inscription below it.

“I don’t understand what the master is thinking, but I think he must have something else in mind.”

"When Mr. Kinzo plays chess, he always sets up his moves with an extremely far-sighted vision. No, sometimes he even makes a divine move that is incomprehensible to people. As an ordinary person like me, I can't see what his intentions are at all."

"I think this should be considered a kind of will from the master, that is, whoever can understand the will, the master will give the property and the title of head of the family to him."

"In other words, you think he hoped his four children would work together to solve the mystery before outsiders like me? Although Mr. Kinzo scolded his children very harshly, perhaps he still hoped that his children could get along harmoniously."

"..."

If Nanjo is right, and Ushiromiya Kinzo's purpose in having this inscription written was truly to reconcile the brothers, one can only imagine how heartwarming that would have been. However, both Nanjo and Genji understand that things could never be like that.

The two of them had spent many years with Ushiromiya Kinzo and trusted him more than blood relatives, yet they still couldn't fathom Kinzo's true intentions.

"The master often says that even those who are not blood relatives are qualified to take on puzzles. Dr. Nanjo, would you like to give it a try?"

"No, no, no, this riddle is far too difficult for an old man like me. Actually, I used to copy this inscription into a small notebook and try to decipher it every night before bed. Hahaha, it was really hard. It seems that I won't have to worry about having nothing to do until I am called by the Lord. Shouldn't Brother Genji give it a try?"

“I am merely a servant of the master’s furniture; I have no need for gold or wealth.”

"You are too modest. I think that's why Mr. Kinzo trusts you so much."

"That would be such an honor."

Nanjo responded with a slight smile and then looked at the inscription.

"The River of Sweetfish flows through my beloved hometown. Those who wish to go to the land of gold should go downstream to find the key."

Below the portrait of "My Beloved Witch Beatrice" is an inscription that reads the following.

The river of sweetfish flows through my beloved hometown.
