"Please, you must allow me to properly thank you!"
Hayakawa Masami looked at Hayato with a serious expression, insisting on inviting him home to sit for a while.
Hayato wanted to decline, but he couldn't withstand Hayakawa Masami's resolute attitude.
Thinking that this was Hayakawa Rin's Hayakawa Masami, and he would definitely have to interact with her often in the future, he couldn't directly refuse.
Feeling helpless, Hayato could only agree.
"This humble monk still has matters to attend to and can only accept the invitation in the evening."
Hayato said.
He hadn't returned all night and hadn't notified anyone in advance.
Now, he absolutely had to return to the Temple to explain properly, lest Takayanagi Yukiho worry too much.
"I know of a high-end restaurant; let's meet there in the evening. My husband will also come along then."
Although it was a thank you, it wouldn't look good if a single man and woman were seen by others.
Therefore, Hayakawa Masami planned to call her husband and Hayakawa Rin to join them to properly thank this Master.
Hayato had no objection upon hearing this.
After leaving a contact method, he knocked out the two robbers and quietly left.
He heard the sound of police cars and didn't want to be taken to the station for questioning.
Other things were fine, but how could he explain hitting someone with a stone and causing a comminuted fracture?
Hayakawa Masami, left at the original location, saw the arriving police and explained the entire sequence of events.
Undoubtedly, the two men were immediately arrested.
However, a female police officer looked at the two robbers' bloody and bruised hands, her face filled with curiosity.
"You mean, that Master used a stone to turn their hands into this?"
She had just examined the injuries of these two robbers.
The injuries on their hands were severe; their hands were almost penetrated by the stone.
She could believe such injuries if they were caused by a weapon with extremely high precision and power.
However, relying solely on a stone, and from such a distance, to inflict such damage on someone's hands, she couldn't even imagine how great this guy's strength was.
"Yes!"
Hayakawa Masami nodded. Could what she saw with her own eyes be false?
Although she also felt somewhat unbelievable in her heart, the truth was just that.
"Interesting."
Sato Nanako's face was full of interest; she suddenly became interested in this Master from Yakushi Temple.
This name was not the first time she had heard it; she had heard a friend mention it before, that there was a very powerful young Master at Yakushi Temple on Yakushi Mountain.
He could even exorcise Evil Spirits.
Previously, she had been somewhat dismissive of such things.
Now, although she still didn't quite believe it, it didn't stop her from becoming interested in this Master.
He could throw a stone with his bare hands with the effect of a bullet.
Even if this Master from Yakushi Temple didn't have the ability to exorcise demons, he probably truly had some skills.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a great reputation.
When she had time in the future, she must go and see.
After cooperating with the police and giving her statement, Hayakawa Masami returned home with lingering fear.
She immediately called her husband and told him everything that had happened today.
"Is that so? We really owe a lot to this Master."
Hayakawa Shunsuke's tone carried relief, and he felt somewhat grateful to this Master he had never met.
If it weren't for meeting this Master, his family might have fallen apart because of this incident.
"These kids nowadays are something else; they actually dare to do such excessive things."
"Be sure to be careful when you go out in the future."
After instructing his wife, Hayakawa Shunsuke had no objection to his wife's actions.
After all, such a great kindness, if they didn't properly thank him, he himself would feel it was too much.
Although dining at a high-end restaurant was expensive, it wasn't unaffordable with his income.
"Then let's wait until Rin gets out of school and take her with us."
They didn't go to this kind of high-end restaurant more than a few times a year.
They would only go for major holidays.
Since they were going, they certainly couldn't leave out Hayakawa Rin.
After hanging up the phone, Hayakawa Shunsuke suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
He looked over and saw a Woman slowly walking towards him, wearing a black suit, a hip-hugging skirt, with short blue hair, looking cold and mature.
Her slender legs were stepping in a pair of high heels, and black suspender stockings squeezed her full legs into an overflowing shape, looking extremely alluring.
Beneath her short blue hair, a pair of narrow eyes were behind gold-rimmed glasses, and her long eyelashes looked very charming.
But her cold eyes, like emotionless ice, made people feel a little scared.
The Woman had a very good figure.
Her waist was slender, and her hips were shapely.
Her high-rising chest seemed ready to burst with every step.
Her perfect body proportions were like the shape of a gourd, and every movement as she walked exuded an alluring attraction.
However, on her fair face, her delicate features currently looked a little tired, as if she hadn't rested well for a long time.
"Pre-President!"
Hayakawa Shunsuke trembled all over, like a mouse encountering a cat, not daring to look at the Woman more than once.
He lowered his head and looked at his toes, silently praying that the President's mood today wasn't too bad.
"Why aren't you working in the office? Are you slacking off again?"
"It's precisely because of lazy people like Hayato that the company's performance keeps declining."
Morita Mie seemed a little irritated. Seeing Hayakawa Shunsuke not working at his station, she immediately started reprimanding him.
Hayakawa Shunsuke's face was full of bitterness, but he didn't dare to refute or explain at all. He could only lower his head and endure the anger of this female superior.
After venting for a while, Morita Mie's irritation seemed to have eased quite a bit.
Looking at Hayakawa Shunsuke, who was still standing motionless, she waved her hand impatiently.
"Get back to work quickly!"
Hayakawa Shunsuke breathed a sigh of relief and quickly fled back into the office as if escaping death.
"You got scolded by the President again, didn't you?"
A colleague sitting next to him glanced at Hayakawa Shunsuke, who had returned to his station with a gloomy face, and showed a mocking smile.
"Ah, I don't know what's wrong with the President. Her temper seems to have been very volatile recently. With a personality like this, it's no wonder she's still not married at this age."
Hayakawa Shunsuke's face was full of complaints, clearly this kind of reprimand wasn't just once or twice.
However, he was also a little strange in his heart.
Although President Morita had a cold personality and often lost her temper with employees who weren't capable enough, she hadn't been angry this frequently before.
Although her management style was high-pressure, she often scolded or hit departments with insufficient work efficiency.
But that was just to improve employee work efficiency.
She was still quite tolerant of capable employees.
Like recently, this kind of indiscriminate reprimand felt a bit strange.
It was completely like venting.
"Who says it isn't?"
The colleague next to him sighed.
Although the President was a stunning beauty, there were quite a few employees who had ideas about her.
However, that was only newcomers who had just joined the company who would have such unrealistic fantasies.
After truly witnessing this Woman's irritability and authoritarianism, no man had ever been able to maintain a pursuit for half a month.
In Japan, a society that promotes male chauvinism, the status of men is naturally higher than that of any Woman.
No man can tolerate a Woman sitting on his head and giving orders.
Such a Woman is barely acceptable as a boss in a company.
If you were to actually marry her and take her home, you would truly have to live your whole life unable to hold your head up.
Just thinking about it makes you feel like you'll be laughed at for a lifetime.
After all, in Japan, men who are afraid of their wives are even more looked down upon than men who have no money.
Only those male hosts who rely on women for a living would shamelessly fawn over a Woman.
"I did hear something that might be related to the President's changes during this time."
At this moment, another colleague who had been listening nearby suddenly spoke.
"What is it?"
Upon hearing this, Hayakawa Shunsuke immediately became interested, although prying into his superior's private life was a bit impolite.
He was caught, and it's estimated that he won't be spared a scolding.
But who doesn't have a little curiosity?
"I heard it's the President's father-in-law and brother who want to compete for company shares."
His colleague lowered his voice and said with a mysterious look.
Competing for company shares?
Hayakawa Shunsuke was immediately surprised upon hearing this.
The original owner of this company was Morita Mie's husband. This group of old employees used to work hard with the previous President.
At that time, when the President was drunk, he would often talk to them about his family.
Therefore, he knew a lot of private matters about the President.
As far as he knew, the reason the President came out to work hard was because of some matters that caused him to fall out with his family and sever ties.
So, this company is entirely the assets the President built up on his own.
It has absolutely no relation to his family.
Now that the President has passed away, the company's inheritance is naturally inherited by the President's wife.
It is truly difficult to understand why the President's Father and brother would come to compete for company shares at this time.
"It's all because the President didn't leave any children."
A colleague next to him sighed faintly.
If the previous President had left descendants, the company would naturally be inherited by the President's children, which is an unquestionable matter.
But the problem is, the previous President was so busy with his career that he didn't have time to leave a child.
Now that the President's wife has inherited the company, the President's Father and brother naturally won't just watch this piece of fat fall into the hands of a stranger.
Naturally, the current situation has arisen.
"Although that is true, it still feels a bit excessive."
Hayakawa Shunsuke couldn't help but say.
Although this company is under the President's name, it also required the President's wife's efforts to develop to its current scale.
Just as everything in the company is getting on track, they come to reap the fruits of victory.
Even someone like him, an outsider, feels that their behavior is too ugly.
"There's nothing we can do, we can't stop this kind of thing either."
Hayakawa Shunsuke felt helpless upon hearing this.
After all, they are just ordinary employees. No matter how much the President's family competes for power and profit, it has nothing to do with them.
At most, they can just grumble and complain.
The one who can truly decide this matter is Morita Mie.
Unless Morita Mie can persuade the President's Father and brother to give up competing for the company's shares, otherwise, a part of the company's shares will inevitably fall into their hands.
There's nothing they can do, this is Japan's law.
In Japan, the inheritance of a husband's estate after his death.
In the case of a will, if the husband made a legal and valid will during his lifetime, the inheritance will be distributed according to the contents of the will.
If the husband died without leaving a will and has children alive, then both the spouse and children are legal heirs.
In this case, the spouse's inheritance share is one-half of the estate, and the children's inheritance share is one-half of the estate.
When there are no children, but there are the husband's direct ascendants (such as parents) alive, the spouse and direct ascendants jointly inherit the estate. The spouse's inheritance share is two-thirds of the estate, and the direct ascendants' inheritance share is one-third of the estate.
If there are neither children nor direct ascendants, only the husband's siblings are alive, then the spouse and siblings jointly inherit the estate. The spouse's inheritance share is three-fourths of the estate, and the siblings' inheritance share is one-fourth of the estate.
And now, Morita Mie's situation is that her husband has passed away, but he did not leave any descendants.
Furthermore, because the President died unexpectedly, he did not leave a definite will at the time of his death.
Therefore, according to Japan's law, as direct parents, they can inherit one-third of the estate.
Although it is only 1/3 of the estate, it is not a small sum.
Most importantly, if the President's family, who inherited a portion of the company's shares according to the inheritance distribution method, also have the right to manage the company.
If these guys who don't understand anything get involved in the company, they will definitely mess up the entire company.
It's probably because of this matter that the President has been so irritable recently.
Meanwhile, in the office.
Morita Mie looked at the video on her phone, her face indescribably ugly.
In the video call, there was a somewhat gloomy-looking bald old man, and next to him was a tall, muscular man.
These two people are her nominal father-in-law and younger brother-in-law.
However, when she married her husband, she already knew that her husband had long since severed ties with his family.
Now her husband has passed away.
Logically speaking, she should have no interaction with these two guys.
But she never expected that these two scoundrels would set their sights on this company after her husband's death.
"This company was built by Morita Kenji alone. I will absolutely not agree to let you get shares of the company."
Morita Mie gritted her teeth.
The old man on the other side smiled, looking at Morita Mie with a strange look in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter, even if you don't want to, according to the law, as Morita Kenji's Father, I can also inherit one-third of the company's shares."
"If I sell these shares to your competing company, I think they should be very interested, right?"
"Maybe they can give me a good price."
Morita Mie immediately felt like a deflated balloon upon hearing this.
This was the thing she feared the most.
The company is currently preparing for a major project and needs a huge loan.
If this matter is exposed, the bank will definitely not approve her loan.
Therefore, no matter what, she must get this 1/3 of the shares now and cannot let these shares fall into the hands of others.
"Tell me, how much money do you want?"
Morita Mie looked at her phone with cold eyes.
In her opinion, these two guys coming to her at this time simply want money.
As long as she can get these shares, even if she has to pay a price, it is acceptable in her opinion.
"Such an important matter cannot be discussed clearly over the phone. How about we find a place to talk slowly?"
Morita Fumita said slowly, seemingly satisfied with her attitude.
His peripheral vision inadvertently looked at the towering mountains on Morita Mie's chest, and a hint of undetectable desire flashed in his cloudy eyes.
However, he concealed it well.
"Time, place, let me know when you've decided."
Morita Mie suppressed her disgust and hung up the phone. Although she really didn't want to deal with this family.
But now, for the sake of the company, she can only endure.
Lying weakly on the chair, Morita Mie couldn't help but think of her husband.
Before her husband passed away, he had also mentioned his family to her, but each time it was with an expression of disgust.
He seemed to genuinely detest these family members.
Before, she felt that her husband was too harsh on his family, and even if there were conflicts with his family, it shouldn't be so excessive.
After all, those were the parents who gave birth to him and raised him.
But now, she seemed to understand why her husband hated his family so much.
These guys are simply a bunch of greedy, bottomless scoundrels.
She now only hopes that these guys won't propose any conditions that she cannot accept.
This company is the only inheritance her husband left her.
Therefore, it is of profound significance to her.
It is no longer something that can be measured simply by money.
If she can buy back those shares with some money, she can grit her teeth and accept it.
If the other party proposes conditions that she cannot accept.
Even if it's a lose-lose situation, she won't let these guys off easy.
"I hope this old guy won't demand an exorbitant price!"
After all, he is her husband's Father.
He shouldn't be so bottomless..
