[Two Months Later, Tokyo Port]
"According to intelligence, the number of demons in Japan is becoming fewer and fewer, but in other countries, rumors of demon sightings have begun to appear."
Shinobu flipped through the letter in her hand. Her beautiful eyes revealed worry as she looked up at Jotaro.
"Is Muzan really still in Japan? Over in East Asia, it's still okay. There's a group of people called 'Strange Heroes', who have basically already wiped out all the demons. The remaining demons are racking their brains to escape from there."
"But in other places, it's not so lucky..."
Jotaro said, "This is just Muzan trying to create the illusion that he's not in Japan."
Shinobu looked at the Demon Slayer Corps members who were boarding the ship and asked, "Since we're sure Muzan is in the country, why not concentrate our strength to deal with him? Instead, we're dispersing our forces and sending Demon Slayer Corps members overseas?"
Jotaro's deep eyes stared at the calm sea surface, and he said lightly, "It's the same logic as catching a mouse. The more you block the hole, the less it comes out."
"Rather than fishing a needle from the sea, it's better to wait for a mouse like Muzan to reveal a flaw on his own."
Deploying Demon Slayer Corps members to other places was just to make Muzan lower his guard, that's all.
"Jotaro-san!"
While the two were chatting, a woman with a charming figure came running over. When she saw Jotaro, her fair face turned rosy, and her soft body leaned toward Jotaro's chest.
Jotaro directly turned sideways to dodge, almost causing her to fall to the ground.
The woman steadied herself, looked at Jotaro with a resentful glance, and said breathily like an orchid, "Just like before, you really don't know how to show pity for beauty at all."
Seeing Jotaro's face darken, the man behind the woman began trembling uncontrollably and quickly said, "Yako! Shut up! If you anger Master Kujo, you know what the consequences will be."
Yako pouted and said impatiently, "So naggy, Silver Wolf, you used to be a mercenary abroad, and yet you're such a coward."
Silver Wolf said angrily, "What about mercenaries? Have you forgotten, this Master Kujo can even catch bullets."
"Hmph!" Yako snorted coldly and didn't want to bother with him anymore.
She twisted her body and came up to Jotaro's side, grabbing his arm and burying it in her deep cleavage.
Seeing this scene, Shinobu's face turned dark. 'This shameless woman!'
She really doesn't know where Jotaro-san met someone like this.
Moving her gaze away from the woman's explosive figure, she glanced at Jotaro. Seeing that his expression was calm with no reaction, just letting the woman hold his arm.
'Why didn't Jotaro-san push her away, this… this...'
Shinobu stomped her foot, feeling inexplicably angry inside.
What she didn't know was, being hugged on the arm like this by a woman, Jotaro had long been used to it.
He didn't feel the slightest discomfort and asked, "The matter I asked you to investigate, did you find it out clearly?"
Yako leaned in even closer, taking a deep sniff of Jotaro's scent. Seeing his face turn unpleasant, she quickly said, "Of course!"
She became more serious, "With Jotaro-san's commission, how could we dare neglect it."
Silver Wolf respectfully handed over the documents.
Jotaro reached out to take it, slowly reading. As he read, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Yako seemed to notice Shinobu's gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at her with a bit of provocation, then parted her red lips and said, "Uemura Pharmaceutical Company has developed a drug to treat high blood pressure. Its position in Japan's pharmaceutical industry is almost about to catch up with Oda Pharmaceutical Company."
She flipped to that page for Jotaro, then said, "Just like you said, Jotaro-san, this is indeed very strange."
"Oda Pharmaceutical has always been at odds with Uemura Pharmaceutical. Yet after Uemura's great success, they made no reaction and even congratulated them."
"I originally thought there was a conspiracy behind it, but just like you guessed, Oda Pharmaceutical sincerely congratulated them and even prepared to cooperate with Uemura Pharmaceutical on a project."
Silver Wolf said curiously, "Oda Pharmaceutical has always dominated Japan alone. Now they're actually sharing the cake with others? That's really strange."
Jotaro said, "Very simple. These two pharmaceutical companies belong to the same person, so of course there's no need to divide between you and me."
Yako blinked and asked, "Jotaro-san, why did you ask us to investigate these things? Could it be that you also want to enter the pharmaceutical industry?"
"If that's the case, why don't you join our Kuroda Pharmaceutical Group? You don't need to prepare any capital. Just come over and we can give you half of the shares."
Silver Wolf covered his face and said, "Such a spendthrift woman..."
As Joseph's heir, how could Jotaro care about such small money?
Probably even if all the pharmaceutical companies in Japan pooled their assets together, they still wouldn't have more than Joseph's assets.
And this is not even counting the SPW Foundation.
"I heard Uemura Pharmaceutical Company seems to be holding a celebration banquet?"
Yako nodded, "Mm, our Kuroda Pharmaceutical was also invited."
"The time?"
Yako thought for a moment and said, "Seems like next week. The location is at Uemura family's villa."
"In addition to celebrating the development of the drug, it's also to celebrate the Uemura family's young son's eighth birthday."
Silver Wolf said, "That child, I saw him before. Don't know why, lately seems to have gotten a skin disease."
"Uemura family invested a lot of money to develop a drug to treat skin disease."
Hearing this, Jotaro's eyes flickered and he said, "A week later, I'll attend the banquet with you."
Yako clapped her hands and said, "Great! One more person and they won't mind."
"There'll be dancing at the banquet, Jotaro-san, be my dance partner, okay?"
Jotaro murmured, "I'm afraid there won't be any chance to dance then."
