NovelEnglishConcurrently, Kobayashi Pharma's headquarters in Tokyo was preparing to hold an emergency board of directors meeting. 6 After Jiro, the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, left for Oskia, he suddenly disappeared without a trace and left Kobayashi Pharma without a leader.
In the beginning, the other Kobayashi Pharma directors were doing everything they could do to find Jiro's whereabouts. 8 However, even after putting in a lot of effort and hard work, Jiro was nowhere to be found at all.
After that, they immediately contacted Ito Yahiko, the head of the Ito family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey contacted Yahiko because the directors of Kobayashi Pharma knew that Yahiko had been very optimistic about Kobayashi Pharma and Jiro. They also knew that he had been hoping that Jiro would bechis son-in-law so that he could buy sof Kobayashi Pharma's shares. 4 Moreover, Jiro only went to Oskia simply because he wanted to pursue Yahiko's daughter, Nanako.
Nanako was already back in Japan, but Jiro had entirely disappeared from the face of this earth. The members of the Kobayashi family could not comprehend this at all.
Initially, Yahiko was also very concerned about this matter. After all, he had always felt very optimistic about Jiro and the prospects of Kobayashi Pharma. If Jiro were to disappear just like that, there would be simply no way for Jiro to bechis son-in-law. 3 Moreover, Apothecary Pharmaceutical was currently suffering from insufficient production capacity.
Therefore, the Apothecary Stomach Pill had not been exported or sold in the overseas market yet. Hence, the local Japanese consumers did not know anything about this magical medicine at all. They still regarded the Kobayashi Stomach Pill as the best stomach medicine in the world. The sales of the Kobayashi Stomach Pill in Japan had not been affected at all. 4 Therefore, in Yahiko's opinion, Kobayashi Pharma still had a very bright and outstanding prospect.
To not miss out on the opportunity to invest in Kobayashi Pharma, Yahiko also sent out many people to look for Jiro.
However, it was a pity that they did not have a strong intelligence network and connection in Oskia, so they could not find any information on Jiro.
Jiro seemed to have disappeared entirely in the eyes of the Kobayashi family and Yahiko.
As tpassed, Yahiko eventually decided to give up on his search for Jiro. 6 He felt that instead of continuing his search for Jiro, it would probably be better for the Kobayashi family to elect a new chairperson for Kobayashi Pharma. He could then just choose to collaborate and partner with the new chairman instead.

They started preparations to reform Kobayashi Pharma and redistributing its shares among the family members. Ichiro's father, Masao, had spent several decades trying to develop and build Kobayashi Pharma independently. Although many Kobayashi family members were involved in the operations of Kobayashi Pharma, none of them directly owned any of Kobayashi Pharma's shares.
After Masao passed away, Ichiro was labeled a murderer. Therefore, Jikd naturally becthe sole heir to Kobayashi Pharma. However, Jiro was also missing now. 3
According to Japanese law, if Jiro's whereabouts were still unknown within a certain period, they could pronounce that this person was dead from the legal perspective. This would make all his relatives eligible with the right to inherit and take over his properties and assets. That way, all of Kobayashi Pharma's shares would then be shared among Jiro's distant relatives then.
Ichiro's uncle, Masayoshi, was now temporarily taking on the role as the om acting chairman of Kobayash Pharma and heading the management authority on Jiro's behalf. Yahiko, who had been coveting the shares of Kobayashi Pharma, instantly focused all of his attention on Masayoshi.
