Chapter 1665

At this moment, Masayoshi’s heart was filled with disapproval and dissatisfaction.

It was not easy for him to get to become the acting chairman. And, just when he was about to take charge of the entire Kobayashi Pharma, he was woken up from his sweet dream by the harshness of reality!

Hence, he gritted his teeth in dismay and said, “Kobayashi Ichiro! You haven’t been cleared of all charges regarding the death of your father! Even if Jiro had recorded that video, it doesn’t prove that he was the killer! It is possible that you kidnapped him and forced him to say that in the video!”

Then, he turned to the crowd and urged, intending to fan the flames, “Am I right, gentlemen?”

The crowd nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he had the support from the crowd, Masayoshi donned a smug smile on his face and said, “We must hand over this matter to the police for investigation. When the police say that you are cleared of all charges, that’s when we will hand over the ownership of this company to you, but you must not interfere in any matter of the company until then!”

His remark made Ichiro’s blood boil!

He stomped on the ground and cursed, which made Masayoshi’s stomach churn in despair, “Masayoshi, tell me, have you no shame? According to Japanese law, I am the eldest son of the family, and I have the inheritance right to my family assets. Now that my younger brother has disappeared, I become the only legal heir of my father’s inheritance, and I should be the one to inherit the company he founded. You are just one of the many staff in the company; you have no right to yell at me here!”

The thought of his own torment for the past few months had stirred the wrath of fury inside him. Now, Masayoshi’s attitude of stopping him from taking over Kobayashi Pharma made him even more furious!

Therefore, he rushed up to Masayoshi in a rage, kicking and punching him. “Why don’t you consider what rights you have in this circumstance!? Have you ever seen a group of maids taking over a house and not allowing the owner’s son to live in it? How dare you stop me from coming back to Kobayashi Pharma? Let me tell you; you’re now officially fired, so get out of here right now!”

Masayoshi grimaced in pain from the beating. Although he was furious, he was intimidated by Ichiro’s rage.

Ichiro’s remarks sounded violent, but what he said was reasonable and true.

He was the rightful heir to Kobayashi Pharma. Even if he was suspected of murdering his father and the police did convict him and lock him up, it would not deprive him of his inheritance.

Although what Masayoshi had said sounded convincing, it was simply a sign of ignorance of the law.

Seeing that Masayoshi was beaten to a pulp, Charlie said, “Alright, that’s enough. If you continue to beat him and something happens to him, you really might have to go to jail.”

Only then did Ichiro stop and respectfully said, “I’m sorry for making myself a joke, Mr. Wade.”

Charlie nodded and addressed the crowd, “Listen up, all of you! As the legal successor of Kobayashi Pharma, Ichiro has signed a share transfer agreement with me. From now on, 90% of the shares of Kobayashi Pharma will be owned by me, while the remaining 10% belong to Kobayashi Ichiro. Legally speaking, I am the majority shareholder of Kobayashi Pharma with absolute control of the board.”

Then, Charlie beckoned to Paul. “Come, Mr. Paul, distribute the copies of the contract to them!”

The crowd was shocked beyond words upon hearing Charlie’s announcement.

Among them, Yahiko was extremely agitated. He angrily protested, “Charlie Wade, don’t you dare spit lies in here! I just signed a contract with Masayoshi to take 30% of the shares of this company for 4.5 billion in cash. I alone have 30%, so how are you able to own 90%? Are you daydreaming?”
