The briefing session for Chapter 65 was cancelled.
"Then Mitsubishi Bank will have no choice but to withdraw that eight billion yen loan!"
After Kiryu Yaya finished speaking, the air in the large conference room on the seventh floor of Sumitomo Bank seemed to freeze instantly.
For the first time, Miyazawa Hara, who had been sitting still and composed, truly lost his smile.
The deputy head of the Sumitomo Bank's business department slowly placed his hand on the table.
His gaze shifted from Kiryu Yaya's face to Miyazawa Keiko's.
Things have come to this point, and it's no longer something that can be easily brushed off.
If Mitsubishi Bank is only making verbal accusations, Sumitomo can certainly ignore them.
The problem is that Mitsubishi Bank came with a formal risk notification.
This is troublesome.
very troublesome.
"The Rokko project is transferring the risks to Mitsubishi Bank's existing 8 billion yen related credit line through the Miyazawa tourism development."
If this statement is confirmed, Sumitomo Bank's continued pressure on Keiko Miyazawa to make a statement today would be tantamount to knowingly pushing the project to continue despite significant doubts about financial irregularities.
This will incur legal consequences.
Vice Minister Sumitomo remained silent for several seconds before slowly speaking:
"This meeting is temporarily adjourned."
This sentence struck the center of the long table like a heavy hammer.
The inspector, Sumitomo, suddenly looked up:
"Deputy Minister—"
"Abort."
The deputy minister didn't look at him, but his tone became even harsher.
"Given the significant risk notification from Mitsubishi Bank and the explicit objection from the head family representative of the Miyazawa Group to the existing explanatory materials, this briefing is not qualified to proceed to the formation of a formal summary."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Miyazawa Hara:
"Executive Director Miyazawa, please reconstruct the complete details of the borrowing, guarantees, internal funding support, and member return preparations for the Rokko Golf Development project. Sumitomo Bank will decide whether to reopen the briefing after receiving the supplementary information."
Miyazawa Hara's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.
"Deputy Minister, isn't this a bit too hasty?"
"I'm not one to be hasty."
Vice Minister Sumitomo finally looked up and stared directly at him.
"We need to reconfirm whether the documents your group is currently submitting to various financial institutions are complete versions."
In short, the blade has already turned against Miyazawa.
Several of the Miyazawa Group's senior directors, including Yutaro Kamiya, also looked grim.
They originally came to put pressure on Keiko Miyazawa.
As a result, the briefing session failed to materialize and instead forced Sumitomo Bank to slam on the brakes on the spot.
Keiko Miyazawa sat at the end of the long table and slowly exhaled.
This briefing, which resembled a trap, has finally come to an end.
Vice Minister Sumitomo stood up and closed the document.
That's all for today.
"For follow-up communication, please contact us through the official channels to schedule a time."
This is tantamount to declaring the verdict.
The briefing is now adjourned.
Mitsubishi Bank achieved its goal.
Miyazawa Hara didn't say anything more, because saying anything more would only make things worse.
But inside, his heart was bleeding.
Sumitomo Bank's extension of its loan application failed, and the issue of having two sets of books was exposed to the board of directors.
His goal of taking control of the group is destined to fail.
No, there must be another way.
Miyazawa Hara slowly stood up, straightened his suit cuffs, his movements still restrained, but the eyes behind his glasses were frighteningly cold.
Before leaving, his gaze swept over the faces of Yamada Masakazu and Chihaya Yuri, finally settling on Kiryu Yaya.
It paused for two seconds.
Kiryu Yaya calmly met his gaze.
Not a single step back.
The conference room door was pushed open and then closed again.
The Sumitomo Bank staff began to speak in hushed tones, and several directors left their seats with grim expressions.
As Kamiya Yutaro passed by Miyazawa Keiko, he let out a heavy snort, but ultimately said nothing more.
The current situation no longer allows him to continue using the excuse that "the young lady is immature" to pressure people.
With Mitsubishi Bank now officially involved, it means that—
The Miyazawa Group issue is no longer a domestic matter that can be resolved behind closed doors.
It has become a risk event that will be subject to review by financial institutions.
Outside the main building of Sumitomo Bank.
The sky remained overcast.
Masakazu Yamada, Yuri Chihaya, Yaya Kiryu, and Keiko Miyazawa walked out of the revolving door, the stone steps beneath their feet still damp from the rain.
Yamada Masakazu let out a soft breath, finally expelling the breath that had been lingering in his chest for so long.
"Go back to the branch first."
Chihaya Yuri nodded.
"Although Sumitomo has applied the brakes, the real trouble is just beginning."
Keiko Miyazawa remained silent.
She simply turned her head and glanced at Kiryu Yaya.

Kiryu Yaya stared blankly at the scenery outside the car window and the system text in front of him.
This reward...
It's quite unique.
I don't know if I'll ever need it.
It was nearly noon when I returned to the Osaka branch of Mitsubishi Bank.
But as soon as they stepped through the gate, the group immediately sensed that something was wrong.
This is very unusual.
In the lobby on the first floor, the window staff were still doing their work, but their movements were noticeably faster and more organized than usual.
The male staff member in the sales department was rearranging the brochures, and even the potted foliage plant in the center of the lobby was moved by the general affairs staff.
There were even people wiping the handrails at the stairwell.
Kiryu paused slightly in his steps.
"What happened?"
A finance department employee who had just passed by saw that it was Masakazu Yamada and immediately bowed:
"Section Chief, you're back."
"What happened?"
"At our store... a department head from Tokyo is coming down."
Masakazu Yamada frowned slightly.
"Head of the main store?"
"Yes. The General Affairs Department just received a notification that the people from Shin-Osaka have already gone to pick them up and will arrive at the branch in about five minutes."
The employee lowered his voice and added:
"It's said... it's because of the Miyazawa Group incident."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the group changed.
The manager of the Tokyo headquarters came to Osaka in person.
No one knows better than them what this means.
This means that the case involving the Miyazawa Group has officially entered the head office level.
"Where's the branch manager?"
"They're in the reception area on the fifth floor. All the department heads and section chiefs have already gone up."
Masakazu Yamada nodded and then turned around.
"Let's go up first."
The elevator went up all the way.
No one spoke in the cramped sedan chair.
Keiko Miyazawa stood at the very back, her hands gently gripping the straps of her handbag, looking somewhat nervous.
Fifth floor.
There were already quite a few people standing in the corridor outside the VIP area.
Kiyomasa Ogaki, head of the financing department; Tsuyoshi Iwakura of the debt management section; several department heads of the sales department; the head of the general affairs section; the head of the human resources section...
Almost all the middle and upper management of the branch were present.
The carpet was vacuumed again, and even the water in the vase on the wall was changed.
Branch Manager Takahiro Matsumoto stood at the front, his face calm, but his back ramrod straight.
The faint scent of sandalwood in the air was more pronounced than usual.
After a while, some people grew impatient and began to whisper among themselves:
"Which manager exactly did our store send?"
"have no idea."
"Is it for review at headquarters?"
"It could be, or it could be related to the sales and general management department."
In the Bank of Japan, the head office manager is generally lower in rank than the branch manager, but the relationship between the two is similar to that between an important court official and a regional governor in ancient times.
The position of head office manager carries far more power than that of branch manager.
Just then, the elevator finally started going up.
The second floor.
Third floor.
Fourth floor.
Fifth floor!
The moment the elevator doors opened.
All eyes turned to that direction.
The people from the general affairs department were the first to appear.
Then came two secretaries from the main store who had accompanied them all the way from Shin-Osaka.
Finally, the figure came into everyone's view.
When he walked out, it was as if the air in the entire corridor had been invisibly lowered.
The next second, someone gasped softly.
"...How could it be him?"
"Who is it?"
"No way..."
Upon seeing him, Kiryu Yaya's breath almost stopped.
At this moment, Keiko Miyazawa, who was standing to the side, noticed his reaction and seemed to suddenly realize something.
She suddenly looked at Kiryu Yaya, her heart filled with horror:
"etc……"
"Could it be!?"
