Chapter 1518: Persuasion
It didn't take long before Haru and Kirari arrived at the appointed place and as expected most people had already arrived before them, after all, the ones who had invited the members of the association of pachinko parlor owners in the Kansai region were both Haru and Kirari.
Kirari was the next patriarch of the Momobami clan, in other words, she would control this family in the future. With the authority of this family, the owners of those pachinko parlors needed to give a face to her.
However, they didn't care much about Kirari, even though she might be the next patriarch of the Momobami clan, she wouldn't give them wealth after all, but it was different for Haru.
Everyone was more attracted by Haru since some people even think of him as an illegitimate child of Goddess of Luck since his wealth was so much that it was impossible to achieve by the majority of people in this world.
Some people might have a bad idea, but they weren't stupid since they knew that all the people who had those ideas had already left this world.
Even though Haru was only a young man, they didn't look down on him since his decisiveness wasn't something that could be owned by normal people or youth, especially after they saw him right before their eyes.
Haru's aura was very powerful since he owned "Haoshoku Haki", and it was one of the keys to making them believe in him.
Haru and Kirari then sat next to each other after greeting the people that had come. He didn't waste his time and directly explained his intention since he didn't want to spend that much time with them.
"Thank you for coming today." Haru showed an amiable smile and said, "My name is Kasugano Haruka and all of you should already know the reason why I have invited all of you today, but before I start, there's something that I want to remind you..." He made a slight pause and said, "I only accept legal money and I won't accept any illegal money. I hope that you can remember that."
Haru knew that their intention was to make more money and he could do that for them, but he also made a requirement for them that he only accepted legal money, after all, it wasn't uncommon for this group of people to have illegal money so before he started to talk about his investment bank, he wanted to remind them first.
"What?!"
Some people who heard Haru's words wanted to complain directly, but Haru quickly stopped them.
"If you are unable to accept this request then please leave, I won't stop you."
Haru might need them, but it didn't mean that they were irreplaceable for him. He could do another way to control this country, but it was more troublesome after all.
They quickly shut their mouths and didn't say much. They also didn't leave since they didn't want to lose their chance to make more money after all.
"Thank you for your understanding so I will start to explain about my investment bank and after that, you can ask me a question," Haru said.
They nodded and also agreed with Haru. They also loved it when he didn't waste their time and quickly explained about his investment bank since they were interested.
Haru explained to them about his investment bank, his plan, target, and the return that they could get from his investment bank. He didn't spend that much time explaining all of that and only spent around 15 minutes, but in those 15 minutes, everyone was attracted to him and wanted to put their money directly on him since they believed in him.
His charm, bullshitting skills, abilities, and a lot more were very powerful that he could even seduce anyone as long as he wanted easily.
Haru then drank water to wet down his throat then asked, "That's my explanation, if you have a question please ask me." Even though he could act so rudely in front of them, he didn't do so since everyone in this place wanted to have a face so he gave them a face by acting politely in front of them, and as expected, everyone also felt happy when they were treated politely.
However, even though Haru acted politely, he didn't seem to be weak, but rather, his presence was full of power, making them lower their heads subconsciously when they heard him.
In business, it was over when someone thought of you as a pushover, especially when they faced a group of yakuza or unscrupulous businessmen.
Even though Haru's popularity was good, his notoriety was also known, especially his act against Olympus Corporation. Not only did he do a short sell on this company, giving him a lot of money, but he also did a hostile take over on this company, which directly held roughly an 85-percent share of the global endoscope market.
As long as someone knew him, they knew that they shouldn't make him an enemy or else, their future wouldn't be good.
"Kasugano-san, your offer is tempting, but can you make sure that we won't lose our money?"
After all, everyone was afraid to lose their money and they needed a guarantee from him. Even though Haru might be an illegitimate child of the Goddess of Luck, some of them wanted something more that could strengthen their belief in him.
"I won't say much, and all of you are also someone from that side." Haru looked at them directly without fear and only confidence could be seen from his eyes. "If I lose your money, then you can do it on your own way to get money from me, right? Isn't that easy?"
Haru didn't like too much chatter, especially with a group of grown-up men so he wanted to end this talk. He knew that all the people in this place weren't virgins and all of them had seen blood so he didn't need to explain what those people would do if someone dared to steal their money, right?
"......."
Everyone blinked their eyes and looked at Haru with a disbelief expression, but at the same time, it also strengthened their belief in him, after all, he was a man, and he didn't talk nonsense. He directly told them that he was going to take responsibility for their money so they didn't need to be worried.
Then the next talk was very harmonious beside them and at the same time, Haru thought to show his muscle in the financial world later to make him even more credible in their eyes.
They talked for a few hours and ended their business.
Haru didn't waste his time and held Kirari's hand before he went out with her. He knew that if he stayed there any longer, they were going to gift him with a girl right in front of his fiance. It might seem strange, but it had become one of the cultures to give a girl to their business partners in the yakuza world, after all, those people in yakuza had cultivated a lot of girls from child to be given as a gift for their business partner.
If someone asked how that could happen, then the answer was quite simple since those girls were abandoned because of various reason.
In this beautiful country, there was a lot of darkness that was hidden, including abandoned children.
The pressure of society was huge and those parents were unable to provide those children a proper life and in the end, they were abandoned by those parents who were too scared of their responsibility.
Some of them were taken by yakuza and they were cultivated as women to please their man in the future.
Well, enough of those kinds of things, since the matter had ended, he could feel a slender and soft hand grasping his hand, trying to tempt him. He turned his head and saw Kirari who was full of excitement.
"Let's go back to your house," Haru said.
Kirari nodded obediently while moving closer to her man since she had to admit that at work her man was very handsome.
