The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1466-1470

Chapter 1466

Aurora landed two punches, both of which Nanako Ito dodged. Seeing an opening, Nanako crouched, quickly circling to Aurora's front. Her left hand led, her injured right hand following close behind, both hands joining to strike Aurora's waist.

The Chinese spectators gasped, believing Aurora was about to counterattack. However, at that very moment, Aurora formed a palm with her left hand and a fist with her right. With a powerful thrust of her left palm against her right fist, she channeled immense force into her right elbow, striking Nanako Ito's chest with blinding speed and devastating power.

The attack was a perfect blend of strength and speed. Aurora didn't just use her right arm; she leveraged the power of both arms. Nanako Ito never suspected that Aurora's apparent weakness was a feint. Before Nanako's palm could reach Aurora's ribs, Aurora's elbow connected, striking Nanako with the force of a cannonball. The impact shattered several of Nanako's ribs. Even after absorbing the blow, the remaining force knocked her several meters back.

Nanako crashed to the ground, vomiting blood, her face instantly ashen. Charlie Wade was astonished by the force of Aurora's attack. With that power, Aurora could have easily defeated a 200-pound male competitor. The blow, delivered to Nanako's 100-pound frame, caused severe internal injuries, potentially life-threatening.

Despite her grievous injuries, the resilient Japanese fighter desperately tried to stand, pushing herself up on the smooth ring. Aurora, shocked by the severity of Nanako's injuries, panicked, unsure what to do.

The referee rushed to Nanako's side, asking with concern, "Miss Ito, how are you? Do you wish to stop the match?"

Nanako's white teeth clenched her bloodless lip. She shook her head, attempting to rise, but failed.

The referee, regretfully, began his countdown: "Ten nine"

Nanako, despite the agonizing pain, continued to struggle. She glanced at Charlie Wade, unable to discern his expression—was he worried, disappointed, or something else? She desperately wanted to stand, to see him more clearly.

Chapter 1467

Nanako Ito's body was unable to support her. She fought through the pain, her face contorted with unwillingness, as the referee continued the countdown. She made several more attempts to stand, but failed. As the referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of the match, her strength gave way, and she collapsed onto the ring.

Deafening cheers erupted from the crowd celebrating Aurora's victory and championship win. The referee raised Aurora's arm high, declaring, "And now I declare the champion of this International Collegiate Sanda competition is the local Chinese player, Aurora!"

The cheers reached a fever pitch. Charlie Wade, while applauding, worried about Nanako Ito. The Ito family's medical team immediately rushed onto the ring with a stretcher.

After a brief examination, the lead doctor announced, "Miss Ito's injuries are severe. We must leave immediately for the airport!"

Nanako weakly pleaded, "Can you wait a little longer?"

The doctor shook her head, her tone grave, "Miss, your injuries are critical. Your ribs are broken, and your internal organs are severely damaged. We must get you to an ambulance for immediate first aid. We have advanced medical equipment on the plane for further treatment en route to Japan. Upon arrival, you'll receive the best possible care at a top hospital."

With that, she ordered, "Let's go now!"

Though Nanako was filled with regret, she was powerless against her family's doctors. She was placed on the stretcher and quickly removed from the arena.

Worried about the extent of Nanako's injuries and whether she was in danger, Charlie Wade felt helpless. The safest course would be to personally examine and treat her with Reiki, but the Ito family's swift departure prevented him.

When Charlie Wade reached the gymnasium's exit, the Ito family's medical team was loading Nanako into an ambulance. Seeing Charlie, Nanako felt a surge of excitement but the ambulance door closed, leaving her to gaze at him through a narrow gap before it slammed shut. Tears streamed down her face as she silently whispered, "Goodbye, Charlie Wade… I don't know if we'll ever meet again…"

Charlie Wade watched the ambulance depart, sighing helplessly. He was deeply concerned, but could only hope for Nanako's survival, uncertain if they'd ever see each other again.

Chapter 1468

Jiro Kobayashi sat in the Oracle Pharmaceutical reception area. Nova Dias's explosive success had overwhelmed Liam's production capacity. Since last night, word-of-mouth marketing and Stefanie Sun's influence had fueled its popularity.

The immense demand caused production bottlenecks. Liam doubled employee wages to incentivize overtime and maximize Nova Dias production, personally overseeing operations and holding a motivational meeting. This left him unavailable to meet Jiro Kobayashi.

Kobayashi, increasingly agitated, had planned to attend Nanako's match but prioritized Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's future. He hoped to conclude business quickly and return, but Liam left him waiting for nearly two hours.

Suddenly, a message arrived: "The Aurouss Hill International College Sanda Competition has concluded. Chinese player Aurora won the championship!"

He clicked, skipping Aurora's victory to find news of Nanako. Learning of Nanako's severe injuries and immediate return to Japan, he cursed, "Damn it! If I'd been there, I could have capitalized on her vulnerability. A woman's heart is fragile after failure and injury; she'd need comfort and care. What a missed opportunity!"

Liam finally arrived at the reception area after finishing his meeting.

Jiro Kobayashi rose enthusiastically, "You must be Manager Weaver!"

Liam nodded, "Yes, and you are Mr. Jiro Kobayashi?"

"Indeed," Jiro Kobayashi smiled respectfully. "Manager Weaver, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Liam, aware of Ichiro and Jiro Kobayashi's past actions, remained wary.

"Mr. Kobayashi, what brings you here?" Liam asked.

Jiro Kobayashi complimented, "I hear your company launched Nova Dias. Kobayashi Pharmaceutical sells Kobayashi Niranex throughout Asia. I'd like to discuss a collaboration."

"Cooperation?" Liam stated flatly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Kobayashi, Oracle Pharmaceutical has nothing to discuss with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical."

Chapter 1469

Jiro Kobayashi hadn't expected such a blunt refusal. He tried to maintain a businesslike demeanor, "Manager Weaver, allow me to be frank. Oracle Pharmaceutical isn't a top Chinese pharmaceutical company, and even less significant globally. Your company lacks the strength to break into the Asian or global markets."

He puffed out his chest, "Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals is different. We have decades of history and a strong international presence. Our overall strength, production lines, and capacity far surpass yours. Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals is your superior. Why not collaborate?"

Liam sneered, "Oracle Pharmaceutical may not be as large as yours, but our product's efficacy will fuel rapid growth through word-of-mouth. Expanding into Asia and the world will be effortless. Foreign consumers will seek us out; that's the power of a superior product."

Jiro Kobayashi's expression soured. He knew Nova Dias's effectiveness, having personally experienced its superior relief from stomach discomfort compared to Kobayashi Niranex. He foresaw Nova Dias's potential to dominate the market. Word-of-mouth marketing would be more effective than any advertising.

He attempted to remain calm, "Manager Weaver, while your product is excellent, Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals possesses a vastly superior production process and capacity. You'll struggle to increase output quickly. Expanding requires significant investment and time; years, not months, to build new facilities and production lines. Collaborating with Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals would solve this. We'll share profits, rename Nova Dias to Kobayashi Nova Dias, and utilize our extensive production lines (Japan, China, Southeast Asia). This is a win-win!"

Jiro Kobayashi emphasized Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's superior production capacity, at least eight to ten times greater than Oracle Pharmaceutical's. Building comparable facilities would take five to eight years.

Chapter 1470

Liam considered the vast difference between Oracle Pharmaceutical (formerly Weaver's Pharmaceutical) and the much larger Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. Charlie Wade alone had taken $11 billion from Kobayashi, and its market capitalization was over $100 billion. Expanding Nova Dias production required significant investment and time, the most critical factor being time.

Liam hesitated, telling Jiro Kobayashi, "Mr. Kobayashi, this isn't my decision alone. I'm just the manager. Cooperation depends on my boss's approval."

Seeing Liam's hesitation, Jiro Kobayashi pressed on, "Please contact your boss to gauge their interest. If there's willingness to cooperate, we can meet to finalize the agreement. I'll immediately transfer Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's production lines to Oracle Nova Dias, creating Kobayashi Nova Dias, a joint product. Our capabilities would be instrumental in quickly expanding your market share."

Liam nodded, left the reception area, and called Charlie Wade. Charlie was on stage watching Aurora receive her medal, his mind on Nanako Ito's departure.

Liam explained the situation, mentioning Jiro Kobayashi as "a half-acquaintance." Charlie immediately recognized Jiro Kobayashi's name. Liam detailed Jiro's proposal, suggesting that while Kobayashi's offer wasn't ideal, resolving the production capacity issue was vital for Oracle Pharmaceutical's future growth, and the cooperation would resolve that problem.
