The sudden message from the messenger, who had told Shion to gather together in the VIP area with the other CEOs, surprised them, and naturally, it also disrupted their plan.
"You should go back first. I will go back after a while."
Even if Shion was pregnant, it didn't mean that she couldn't help him in that area.
"No, we will go with you."
"Huh?" Shion was surprised by this slight kindness of Shinra. "You sure?"
"Yes." Shinra nodded. "I have nothing to do anyway."
"Aren't we going to have a child after this?" Karura asked as if she were begging.
"...." Everyone.
Regardless, as Shinra and everyone else followed Shion to the meeting, which was invited by Katahara, it was also a form of protection, especially when Katahara was the one with the highest force on this island.
The island was owned by Katahara, who also had 250 trained martial artists as bodyguards.
If Katahara was serious, no one could be his opponent, and anyone who was targeted by him would die without being able to tell a tale as they left the world.
Shinra knew that he might be overthinking it, but it was better to be ready than sorry, right?
At the same time, after he finished his match with Kuroki, he felt like it was a waste of time to stay in this world, so—
'Should I visit another world after this?'
Since he had been staying in this world for a few months, naturally, he also understood the power of his Manekyou Sharingan, which is the Eye of Usurp and the Eye of Beyond.
While he often used the Eye of Usurpation on a few characters in this world, especially those who had a special trait and unique knowledge in their respective shield, such as medicine, physics, chemistry, economics, social science, and many others, he hardly used his Eye of Beyond, the other ability of his Manekyou Sharingan that allowed him to travel to another world.
Previously, he was afraid to use it as the cool down of this ability was quite long, but that didn't seem to be the case after he learned the knowledge of a ninja.
If the reason why the recovery and the cool down of the Eye of Beyond took a long time was because he knew nothing about the knowledge of a ninja, nor was he a ninja before.
'Also, Mikoto.'
Shinra didn't blame Mikoto since he was glad she brought him back and was glad he had made him pregnant with his child, but she was also why the recovery of his Eye of Beyond took a while.
However, as he had become stronger after he acquired Kiryu Setsuna, Kure Raian, and several others, he developed his talents and potential further, even if he couldn't use the Eye of Beyond infinitely, it shouldn't be a problem for him to use it tens of times.
At least, as long as he didn't overuse it and gave his eyes time to rest, his eyes wouldn't become blind.
Moreover, after he saw a certain fighter with blind eyes in the tournament, having blind eyes wasn't a problem since there were many ways to see the world.
While it was troublesome if he couldn't use his eyes, as long as the gains were worth it, then why not, right?
Lastly, as long as his Eye of Usurpation existed, his chance to gain the Eternal Manekyou Sharingan wouldn't completely disappear.
'Maybe there is also another method.'
The owners of the Manekyou Sharingan were all so powerful and troublesome to fight, and he didn't have complete confidence in fighting them, as their techniques were so weird, and they were also good at escaping. All of his opponents were ninjas, and they weren't stupid enough to fight in a direct way, without dodging due to their pride as fighters.
As a ninja, if their victory couldn't be guaranteed, they would use a sneaky and dirty method, so long as they could complete their missions.
Regardless, he decided to go to another world when the night came, then returned when the morning came.
'Let's see how it goes first.'
While it might appear a little cowardly, he prioritized his safety first, so if the world was too dangerous, he would return to this world or change to another world, so he could gain an easier improvement.
As he was in his thoughts, soon, they arrived at the VIP hall where Katahara had asked all of them to come, and naturally, except for Shion, all the CEOs were also there, and when Shion and Shinra appeared, everyone, who talked about what Katahara planned to do, stopped as they looked at the two with a solemn attitude.
Shion Souryuin.
No one had ever thought that she could continue till the round of the tournament, and after her fighter defeated Kuroki Gensai, who was probably the strongest fighter in the tournament, all of them knew well that she had a higher chance to become the new chairman of the Kengan Association.
While those who also passed the next round were still stubborn, thinking that they had a chance to become the leader of everyone, those who had lost, the losers, weren't so stubborn and quickly curried favor toward Shion, so they could get a good position on her side~!
Shion's industry was quite good as her family owned an education conglomerate and had a huge influence on education, medicine, and various fields, but unfortunately, Shion also knew that she wasn't so strong and not everyone needed an education in the respective field for their business to flourish.
Shion's industry was different from Katahara, who owned the biggest bank in the country, which made those who were part of the Kengan Association dare not offend him, as everyone needed money, especially for their business.
However, it didn't mean that Katahara was the strongest since even if his bank was the biggest in the country, it didn't mean there were no other banks.
Being the head of the Kengan Association would give one a lot of power, but it didn't mean that one was omnipotent.
"Souryuin-san, congratulations on your victory."
"I can see that you will become the head of the Kengan Association."
"As expected of the chairwoman of the Koyo Academy, you are great!"
Everyone tried their best to suck Shion to become her followers, but their eyes naturally drew toward Shinra, who sat on the nearby chair lazily, seemingly resting after his battle, so they didn't bother him.
However, facing all of them, Shion didn't have the patience to humor them. "Enough, all of you!"
Still, Yoshitake Yoshiro, the CEO of Yoshitake Real Estate, looked at Shion with jealousy. "You are so lucky to have such a handsome and powerful fighter~!"
"...." Shion.
Regardless, what was important for the head of the Kengan Association was to have a strong fighter. If one had a strong fighter, their position would be firm, and they could rob others' projects with the Kengan Match, which would help their business.
Yet, once again, being the head of the Kengan Association didn't mean becoming the strongest.
However, for Shion, who had a strong yet young fighter under him, without a doubt, her position was as firm as the mountain.
Still, as they talked, Shion quickly changed her gear and focused on her business since she knew well that when she became the head of the Kengan Association, it wasn't the end, but it was just the beginning, since many things had to be done.
And, when she thought of that—
'It's so troublesome to become the head of the Kengan Association...'
Shion was pregnant with her first child, and while she still would manage her group, it was too troublesome to manage the Kengan Association, too, which made her feel like... she should make a deal with someone.
While this was a shame, she could get a lot of advantages, and if Shinra wished to, he could get this position anytime, as she believed that he was the strongest.
As long as Shinra was by her side, she had nothing to worry about.
Only, as their conversation turned into a wonder why Katahara gathered all of them, Katahara appeared with his group, and they quickly asked.
"Chairman, why did you gather all of us?"
"Huh?" Katahara showed confusion. "I should be the one who asks you that question. Why are you all here like you are in a gala?"
On that moment, while some were confused, many realized something was wrong and they quickly ran as fast as possible to get a help, but as soon as they reached the door, a lot of people with a trained body and white suits poured came in, surrounded all the CEO before a man with a half disfigured face walked in, clearly showing his position as the leader of this group.
"Enough of this competition, I will become the chairman. You are all okay with that, right?"
As the man said, all the men in the white suits showed their cruel smiles as they held various weapons ready to use force to make all of them agree with their boss's demand.
