The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1336-1340

Chapter 1336

Jiro Kobayashi sighed deeply, expressing his regret at missing Nanako Ito's match. He'd arrived that morning and hadn't had time to attend. He praised her one-round victory.

Nanako Ito responded politely. Kobayashi vowed to attend all her future matches. He mentioned sponsoring the finals and presenting the trophy, expressing his eagerness to give it to her.

Nanako Ito humbly acknowledged his support but cautioned that the championship was not yet decided. Kobayashi expressed his confidence in her. She then invited him to lunch.

Kobayashi was thrilled. Nanako Ito instructed her assistant, Koichi Tanaka, to serve their lunch in the presidential suite. She explained that while usually independent, she preferred Tanaka's presence as a buffer. Tanaka readily complied. Kobayashi, accustomed to being served, didn't think much of it.

In the spacious, luxurious restaurant, they sat across a large Western dining table, providing a comfortable distance for Nanako Ito. Kobayashi initiated conversation, asking how long she'd been in Aurouss Hill. She replied twenty days. He commented on the city's beauty, prompting her to ask if he'd been there before. He admitted it was his first time, and sadly, he wouldn't have come were it not for her competition. Surprised, she asked for clarification. He revealed his brother's death in Aurouss Hill, a result of a family feud.

Nanako Ito apologized for unintentionally bringing up a painful subject. Kobayashi said it was alright, and that talking to her helped alleviate his sadness. However, he privately felt no sadness; rather, he was elated.

The passage details the traditional Japanese primogeniture system, where the eldest son inherits the family business regardless of ability. Jiro's brother, Ichiro, was originally slated to inherit Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. Ichiro's death, however, unexpectedly made Jiro the heir. A magical medicine sent by Ichiro poisoned their father, effectively removing Ichiro from contention and paving the way for Jiro's ascension.

While grateful for this outcome, Jiro acknowledges the high cost—a billion (non-Japanese Yen) bribe to a bounty hunter. However, he's confident in his abilities, citing the success of Kobayashi Niranex, a new stomach medicine poised for global marketing. This success, coupled with marrying Nanako Ito, would further elevate Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals, surpassing Johnson & Johnson and becoming the world's largest pharmaceutical group. He eagerly inquired about Nanako Ito's graduation plans and marital prospects. She revealed her focus on martial arts and a lack of romantic interest.

Despite her response, Jiro persisted, asking what qualities she sought in a partner. She stated that he must be stronger than her in martial arts, aesthetically pleasing, and no more than three years older, as well as upright and kind. She stated that she had no requirement for assets.

This surprised Jiro, as his assets were his greatest strength. He wondered if she'd accept a man regardless of wealth, as long as he met her other criteria. He questioned whether her father had expectations for her spouse, considering her family's standing. Nanako Ito firmly stated that she alone would decide on her spouse, prioritizing personal happiness and freedom. Jiro found her difficult to pursue.

Chapter 1339

The narrative shifts to Charlie Wade and Aurora, who enjoyed a boat ride. They returned to the Quinton villa for a banquet where Mr. Quinton encouraged Aurora to drink with Charlie. Aurora, however, expressed concern about the upcoming competition with Nanako Ito, estimating her chances of winning at less than 20%. She detailed Nanako's extensive martial arts training and experience, highlighting the significant experience gap between them. She drew a parallel to football, emphasizing the importance of experience and strategy in addition to physical strength.

Charlie Wade assured her that he would develop a winning strategy.

Aurora brought Charlie Wade to her training room. After she changed, he asked for the medicine he'd previously given her. She explained that it's used for treating injuries, and that its effects require guidance, especially for young adults. He instructed her on how to take the medicine and guided her through the absorption process, highlighting the difference between how the medicine affects younger versus older bodies. The absorption process was painful initially but ultimately brought about a feeling of rebirth and comfort.
