Within the Suzuki Group, Shito is pulling out all the stops to prevent Shin from acquiring more shares of the company. As vice chairman, Shito is convinced that if Shin becomes the majority shareholder, his own influence within the company will drastically diminish. Determined not to let that happen, he's leveraging every bit of his power to thwart Shin's efforts.

To solidify his position, Shito has reached out to the other shareholders, urging them to remain loyal. He's even gone so far as to dangle the possibility of offering positions within the Suzuki Group to their family or friends—a proposition that's quite tempting to many. This strategic move is Shito's way of ensuring that loyalty remains strong and that Shin's chances of gaining further control are minimized.

Meanwhile, KiShin is doing everything possible to acquire more shares of the Suzuki Group. Unfortunately, even the prospect of gaining a small percentage of the company's shares could take a year or even longer, given the shareholders' reluctance to sell.

For Shin, the urgency to form a partnership with the Suzuki Group is clear, yet this resistance poses a significant challenge. However, Shin had the foresight to have trusted associates quietly purchase shares in the Suzuki Group on his behalf years ago.

He anticipated the need for the Suzuki Group's technological prowess to enhance his own ventures at KiShin. Even without inheriting Sazama's shares, Shin was always somewhat intrigued by the family business, though he rarely showed it.

Now, with Sazama's shares in his possession, Shin believes he has a real shot at swaying the Suzuki Group to align more closely with KiShin's interests. The shares acquired by his confidantes amount to about 12%, and when combined with the shares he inherited, they total approximately 25%—a noteworthy stake.

Yet, Shin is aware that this is still not sufficient to gain full control of the Suzuki Group. For that, acquiring an additional 3 to 5 percent of the shares would be necessary.

With the major shareholders unlikely to sell their stakes, probably due to Shito's influence, Shin has had to think creatively. Fortunately, he has other options up his sleeve.

As Shin was pondering his next move, his secretary interrupted his thoughts. "Chairman, Mr. Shiko Suzuki and Mr. Seki Suzuki have arrived," she informed him with a professional demeanor.

Shin responded with a warm smile and a nod, a sign of how relaxed he felt about the situation. "Let them in," he said, settling back into his chair with an air of confidence.

The secretary, poised and professional, nodded respectfully before stepping out to usher Shiko and Seki into Shin's office.

The moment Shiko and Seki stepped into their younger brother's office, they couldn't help but notice the stark contrast to their own workspaces. Despite their past feelings of disdain for him, they had to admit that Shin's office was the epitome of luxury, modernity, and tranquility—all qualities that their own offices lacked. Following the secretary, they found Shin sitting comfortably, a welcoming smile on his face.

The sight of their younger brother, Shin, exuding such a relaxed and superior demeanor, irked Shiko and Seki slightly. It was a scenario they had never envisioned—seeing the family's once-labeled black sheep now appearing far more accomplished than either of them.

"My two elder brothers... Please sit. There's no need for formalities here," Shin greeted them, his smile unwavering as he tapped his fingers on the table. The confidence in his posture and expression was unmistakable.

Shiko and Seki shared a glance, a silent acknowledgment passing between them. This feeling of inferiority was new to them; they hadn't noticed it at family gatherings or even recently at Sazama's funeral, perhaps because Shin hadn't been in his "boss" mode. But here, in his office, they felt it acutely—an overwhelming sense of being in the presence of someone vastly superior.

Before them sat not just their younger sibling but a titan who had redefined industries. Shin had introduced groundbreaking innovations like the "iPod" and "iPhone," venturing successfully into realms beyond the core focus of his company, KiShin. Despite originating in the video game and gaming industry with pioneering video game consoles and iconic video games, KiShin was now poised to dominate entirely new sectors under Shin's leadership.

They realized they were facing someone whose achievements and success were beyond what they had ever dreamed possible for themselves.

Shiko and Seki, for the first time, truly felt dwarfed by their younger brother's monumental achievements and success—a realization that had never crossed their minds until that moment. Despite Shin's previous successes, they had never felt intimidated by him. But standing in the vast and impressive headquarters of KiShin, and especially in Shin's own office, they couldn't help but feel diminutive in comparison.

"What's the matter? Come on, please sit," Shin urged, noticing the brief lapse into silence from his elder brothers, who seemed lost in thought until his words jolted them back to reality.

Taking their seats, Shiko and Seki faced Shin across the desk. Shiko cleared his throat in an attempt to regain his composure. "Well, Shinro. Why have you invited us here? You've never made such a gesture towards us before," he inquired, his voice tinged with curiosity and a hint of suspicion.

Seki, too, chimed in, his eyebrows raised in skepticism. "Don't tell me you invited us here just to flaunt your success?"

Shin's response came with a knowing smile. "Hehe, I'm aware of how much my dear elder brothers value their time. I wouldn't dare waste it. And no, I didn't invite you here merely to showcase my accomplishments. There's business to discuss..." His words trailed off, hinting at the seriousness of the conversation that was about to unfold.
