……

In order to find out the whereabouts of Higashida, the president of Nishi-Osaka Steel, Hanzawa visited a company called Takeshita Metals, which was affected by Nishi-Osaka Steel and went bankrupt as well.

Detective Hanzawa Naoki, a prestigious serialized novel!

Hanzawa discovers that President Takeshita is attempting suicide by hanging himself and quickly saves him.

This reminded him of the shadow that had been troubling him.

When Hanzawa was young, he witnessed his father's corpse.

It turns out that his father didn't collapse from exhaustion, but rather hanged himself after the bank cut off his loan even though he had mortgaged the land!

"Ah, so that's how it is!" Kuriyama Minami looked at the scene in the manga where, in the pouring rain, Hanzawa's parents knelt on the ground begging the Industrial Central Bank employee to rescind his decision, only to be ignored by the employee.

After a series of blows, Kohanzawa saw his father, who had committed suicide, in the garage.

Ironically, after Hanzawa's father committed suicide, the family business received a loan from Nakai Shinkin Bank and was reborn from the ashes.

"Hanzawa did it for revenge!"

Kuriyama Minami's eyes widened.

Because his enemy works at the Central Industrial Bank, he entered the bank to seek revenge!

"No wonder he was so determined to become a senior executive at the bank!"

In the manga, Hanzawa Naoki always has a tense expression, and he doesn't even dare to relax when facing his beautiful wife at home.

Kuriyama Minami used to find it strange, but now she understands: Hanzawa Naoki carries too much on his shoulders and dares not relax, cannot relax.

President Takeshita harbors resentment towards bankers because he was unable to obtain a loan from them.

He refused to cooperate with Hanzawa Naoki in searching for Higashida.

"Your bank and Dongtian are no good!"

Hanzawa Naoki strongly agrees with this statement.

Banks may offer help when things are going well, but they will never help when things are going badly.

This is also the consensus among readers.

Even Yoshii Yamahisa held this idea.

Their bank nearly went bankrupt, while other banks were either on the verge of collapse or taking advantage of the crisis to acquire their competitors.

Takeshita shoved Hanzawa Naoki and kicked him out, yelling, "Get out of here!"

Naoki Hanzawa said, "President Takeshita, even if you die, it won't make a difference to Higashida."

He stared intently at Zhu Xia, his eyes blazing, "I must find him. We've suffered so much, let him suffer even more!"

"If anyone offends me, I will retaliate in kind, and repay them tenfold!"

This line stirred a surge of passion in Kuriyama Minami; it perfectly encapsulated Hanzawa Naoki's beliefs.

Such characters are rarely seen in Japanese manga anymore.

Those protagonists are either gentle or magnanimous, and when they are bullied, they just smile and laugh it off. Kuriyama Minami only feels aggrieved, and she lets go of the suffering lightly without any sense of revenge.

Hanzawa Naoki's vengeful nature makes him even more likable and makes people look forward to the thrill of his victory.

Team leader Matsushita exploited him all day long, and he wanted to see Matsushita kneel on the ground and kowtow to apologize.

That would be absolutely heavenly.

He liked "Hanzawa Naoki" more and more as he read it, and he read this chapter many times.

Thursday finally arrived, and Weekly Shonen Jump was released. He immediately started reading the fifth chapter of "Hanzawa Naoki".

Kurosaki, the head of the National Taxation Bureau's Inspection Department, led his subordinates to the bank to search for information on Nishi-Osaka Steel.

This made Hanzawa realize that Nishi-Osaka Steel must still have hidden funds.

Another piece of good news is that, through information from his classmate and friend Naosuke Kondo, he found Higashida's lover—Miki Fujisawa, a woman with a hot body.

Then, Dongtian appeared!

The president of Nishi-Osaka Steel is still living a very comfortable life after the company went bankrupt!

Hanzawa Naoki and he locked eyes, and just as a fierce confrontation was about to begin, the manga ended there.

"I have to wait another week! Seriously!"

This puts Hanzawa Naoki in a difficult situation. After many twists and turns, Higashida finally appears, but he has to wait, which makes Kuriyama Minami particularly distressed.

“It’s alright…it’s only been a week…” he murmured.

That's how it is with serialized works; even if you're really eager to read more, you still have to wait for the author to update.

Minami Kuriyama understands Akino Tori's future hardships and can tolerate them.

He turned a page and saw a notification.

"Due to a parent-child activity at my child's kindergarten, we will be taking a one-week break. We apologize for the inconvenience."

"Tolerate my ass!" he shouted, standing up angrily.

Just when the conflict was about to erupt, the author took a break.

Who could tolerate this?!

It was lunch break, and my colleagues all looked over in surprise.

Hearing the shouts, Matsushita walked out of the studio and looked at Kuriyama Minami. "Kuriyama, what's wrong with you? Instead of resting, you're making a scene. Reflect on your actions! Hey! Did you hear me?!"

"Huh?" Kuriyama Minami glared at him angrily, his anger overflowing and he didn't care about anything else.

Matsushita was startled and flinched.

Just as he was trying to salvage the situation and appease Kuriyama Minami, he saw Kuriyama Minami bowing repeatedly in apology.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Minami Kuriyama doesn't have Naoki Hanzawa's abilities. Although Japan is short of programmers, the company he works for offers very good benefits, to the point that he can tolerate his boss's difficult behavior without quitting.

He needs a salary and to take care of his family; he simply doesn't have the same willingness to fight to the death as Hanzawa Naoki.

After yelling at Matsushita, he immediately realized what he had done, his face turned pale with fright, and he kept apologizing.

Matsushita straightened his clothes, annoyed that his subordinate had frightened him.

Once the other party makes concessions, he will press harder.

"What kind of attitude is that! Hey! Get this straight, your position is the same whether you're there or not, you need to understand your place!"

After that, Minami Kuriyama's entire bonus for that month was deducted.

……

“Dad Higashino,” the kindergarten teacher tilted her head and looked at the man in front of her, smiling as she asked, “I heard from your family that you’re usually very busy. Is it alright for you to come to this parent-child activity?”

She could also see that the man had faint dark circles under his eyes and his face was pale. Although he was in good shape, he still looked listless.

“It’s okay,” Higashino Hibiki patted Higashino Mirai’s head and said with a smile, “My clients will understand if I can’t finish my work. Besides… how could I not participate in Mirai’s first parent-child activity? Haha.”

The entire Higashino family came today.

Akemi Akemi carried a lunchbox, while Mei Higashino held a camera. The Higashino couple had secured their spots, eager to watch their only son, Mirai Higashino, perform up close.

Thank you for supporting my work.

"Where."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Higashino's future parents, the teacher smiled and left to walk towards another student's parents.

She muttered to herself, "Hanzawa Naoki magazine has stopped publishing. It's really sad. What kind of school is organizing parent-child activities...it's just making things worse."

Then, forcing a smile, she threw herself into her work, trying not to let her emotions affect the children.

Japanese kindergartens offer a variety of sports activities for parent-child interactions.

The classes were grouped together for activities such as jump rope competitions, counting the number of balls thrown into a net, singing, and reciting poems.

The Higashino family cheered on Higashino's future.

Parents feel gratified to see their children bravely get back up after falling down.

The next activity was a real parent-child activity, where Hibiki Higashino and Mirai carried a volleyball on a wooden board and ran towards the finish line.

"come on! Come on!"

Akemi Akemi waved her little flag, "We're number one!"

"Oh! That's great!"

Mei Higashino recorded the whole process.

Watching my brother cross the finish line first, looking so proud, as if he were even more proud than if he had won the grand prize.

She couldn't help but complain, "What is this?"

This made her want to have a baby.

After several events, including three-legged races and running while carrying a child on one's back, Higashino Hibiki was panting heavily.

Although Hibiki Higashino did not maintain his first-place ranking in these competitions, he still placed second or third.

He at least maintains the habit of jogging in the morning, which makes him one of the physically fittest parents.

In the future, he eats a lot, is very active, and is chubby, much stronger than other children. He is Higashino Hibiki's good helper.

After the event, the kindergarten gave each child a medal.

The parents all applauded, creating a very positive atmosphere.

After the children were separated, they each went back to their own mothers.

Higashino Mirai was talking to a little girl.

That little girl was as beautiful as a porcelain doll.

"Will that person be your father in the future?"

"Yes, that's right."

"So handsome!" the little girl said, clasping her hands together. "He's so much better than my dad. He doesn't have a big belly. I'm so envious of him."
