When Kuzeha entered the conference room, Haruno Yukinoshita and Kirari Momobami immediately stood up to look at him.
"Kuzeha-kun!"
Kirari Momobami introduced the masked girl behind her.
"This is my older sister, Ririka Momobami."
As her words fell, Ririka Momobami removed the mask covering her face, revealing a face very similar to Kirari Momobami's!
Ririka Momobami and Kirari Momobami had almost completely opposite personalities!
Only when wearing her mask could she hide her weak personality and become Kirari Momobami's right-hand woman!
"Kuzeha-kun!"
She bowed slightly to Kuzeha, her voice somewhat soft.
Although this was her first time meeting Kuzeha, she had heard her sister Kirari Momobami mention him countless times over the past few days!
According to Kirari Momobami's plan, she seemed to want to bet the entire family's future on this young man!
Ririka Momobami's gaze met Kuzeha's. The young man's eyes weren't sharp, nor did he have that aura of superiority that comes with high position.
This made her curious about Kuzeha's personality.
Kuzeha sat down, his gaze turning to Kirari Momobami.
"I heard from Haruno that Momobami-san seems to want to give me a gift?"
Kirari Momobami nodded slightly, her stunning blue lips curving slightly upward.
"I wonder, Kuzeha-kun, are you interested in the Shinomiya family?"
Her words fell in the conference room, and Haruno Yukinoshita's eyebrows shot up in shock.
She looked at Kirari Momobami with eyes full of amazement!
Her mother had worked hard for so many years, plus the assistance of the House of Evolution, and had only just barely stepped into the threshold of a top-tier consortium.
And the Shinomiya family was one of the top three financial conglomerates in current-day Japan!
Could a family of this level really be given away as a gift?
If it were anyone else saying this, Haruno Yukinoshita would only consider it nonsense, but these words came from Kirari Momobami, the head of the Momobami clan.
And it was said in front of Kuzeha—Haruno Yukinoshita didn't think she would be joking.
"The Shinomiya family is one of the top financial conglomerates. Even for the Momobami clan, completely devouring it would be nearly impossible!"
Haruno Yukinoshita questioned skeptically.
Kirari Momobami looked at her and continued.
"A year ago, that would indeed have been the case!"
"But now Gan'an Shinomiya is bedridden with serious illness, Oko Shinomiya is incompetent, and in such a short time, the internal corruption of the Shinomiya consortium has become shocking!"
"Additionally, the former branch family, the Shijo family, has returned and is launching a strong offensive against the Shinomiya family. The current Shinomiya family appears strong on the surface, but is actually riddled with holes!"
"Most importantly, Oko Shinomiya was stupid enough to try to provoke heroes and interfere with the Yukinoshita consortium's new drug business!"
Haruno Yukinoshita's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.
She had already learned about this from several heroes at the dojo yesterday.
They only suspected it might be the work of the Shinomiya consortium.
But Kirari Momobami had directly confirmed it!
She looked at Kuzeha with sincere eyes.
"Kuzeha-kun might not know, but you currently have extremely high prestige within the Hero Association!"
"Not only do those S-class heroes highly approve of you, but the consortiums behind the association also want to establish good relations with you!"
"Under these circumstances, Oko Shinomiya's actions have undoubtedly angered everyone's interests!"
"We only need to operate slightly, and there's a high chance of expelling the Shinomiya consortium from the Hero Association!"
"At that time, I'm confident I can take down the Shinomiya consortium and present it to Kuzeha-kun!"
Kuzeha heard this and looked at Kirari Momobami with interest.
"Momobami-san, after doing so much work, what do you want to gain?"
Kuzeha's question went straight to the core.
Kirari Momobami slightly raised her beautiful eyes, and in those ice-blue pupils, a fervent color suddenly appeared!
"What I want is a spot to follow Kuzeha-sama!"
As her words fell, not only Haruno Yukinoshita, but even Ririka Momobami behind Kirari looked at her sister in disbelief!
Without a doubt, this was a massive gamble!
Don't let Kirari Momobami make taking down the Shinomiya consortium sound so easy—even a starving camel is bigger than a horse!
Even if the Shinomiya consortium were really expelled from the Hero Association's interest group, for the Momobami family to swallow it would definitely require breaking bones and tearing sinew!
Even so, Kirari Momobami was still treating the Shinomiya family as a bargaining chip, a ticket!
A ticket to board Kuzeha's ship!
Ririka Momobami's lips moved slightly, but she didn't speak, only looking at Kuzeha with complex emotions.
It seemed that in Kirari Momobami's heart, this young man's weight exceeded everyone's imagination!
Haruno Yukinoshita looked at Kirari Momobami, her eyes full of shock.
At this moment, Kirari Momobami's actions were even more insane than her mother's!
You have to know, Kirari Momobami wanted to follow Kuzeha, which meant her bargaining chip wasn't just the Shinomiya family, but also the Momobami clan, which was equally a top-tier family!
As the saying goes, the bigger the ship, the harder it is to turn!
The larger the consortium and family, the more rigid and slow their actions become, only following previously successful conventional paths.
Kirari Momobami was almost abandoning the step-by-step development route, throwing herself headfirst into a nine-deaths-one-life shortcut!
But Haruno Yukinoshita had to admit, Kirari had chosen correctly!
Besides being shocked, Haruno Yukinoshita also developed admiration for this young girl!
She was younger than herself, yet could become the head of the Momobami clan, steering such a massive family—there was good reason for it!
Not only was her vision sharp, but her decision-making was also very decisive!
Kuzeha and Kirari Momobami looked at each other.
He could sense the girl's all-or-nothing boldness and confidence!
Not only confidence in herself, but more so confidence in him!
Seeing this, the corners of Kuzeha's mouth curved up slightly.
"I accept your gift!"
