[Big Breaking: "Izumi Miyamura, the youngest Billionaire purchased Instagram from Kevin Systrom with 1.2 Billion cash and stock."]

!!!

This piece of news ignited the whole world like a burst of flames engulfing the earth.

The whole world was sensational and crazy about it.

Just after a few minutes, this news became the hottest discussion amongst the netizens.

The number of likes had exceeded 10 million and the retweet also exceeded 2 million.

Crazy!

Complete mess!

It's because he's Izumi Miyamura.

Only a few things could make a sensation in the world and he was one of them.

Twitter exploded as Countless Twitterati congratulated in the comment box, even many officials, politicians, and celebrities could be seen praising Izumi.

A user wrote, "As expected of Izumi Miyamura. His amazing way of dealing with things is what makes him different from us. You know his competitor was Zuckerberg.

That Zuckerberg!! And in the end, Izumi Miyamura comes out victorious. I'm your biggest fan and I'm looking forward to the official opening of Instagram. Also, I love Pubg the most. God bless you!"

Another one, "Unbelievable! I didn't expect this result at all. Mark Zuckerberg has been ruling social media platforms for years and now it seems his time has come to hand over the throne.."

"What the hell?!! When did this happen? Is this really true? ...Oh my god! This is too sudden and unexpected. I really can't believe it!

From now on I'm an avid believer of this sentence — 'The strongest people aren't those who show strength in front of us. The strongest people are the ones who win battles we know nothing about.'

All the best, Izumi Miyamura and I love you❤️."

A female user boldly expressed her heart and this became the most liked and highlight comment, especially that quote.

The Wall Street journal also expressed congratulation from their official handle.

"Firstly, congratulations to Sir Izumi Miyamura for entry to the social media industry. To be honest, we've lost count of how many times this man has made countless people fascinated with his outstanding way of work.

Remember Pubg? The game that shook the gaming world. Now, It has become the highest running game in the world with 130 million active users so far..with Call of Duty in 5th with 50 million active users. Not to count his other works.....All in all, we all are blessed to have someone like him in our time. All the best and keep moving forward!"

From this long tweet it's not difficult to guess that The Wall Street journal had been conquered by his charm.

Of course, many other professional channels also congratulated him.

These kinds of reactions were expected after all, Izumi wasn't an unknown person.

As for expressing contempt and doubting whether he could succeed or not just because he's a newcomer or because of his age?

Oh, Please!

Time for that has passed and everyone knew that he wasn't wasting money after seeing Zuckerberg's participation.

Of course, the same couldn't be said for anyone.

This is where his identity works.

Just think, if he were acting low-key then he'd be probably overwhelmed with various criticisms from all sides.

Izumi had recently become the ruler of the gaming industry, anime and television industries, actively expanding his influence to unattainable levels.

And, also some people were not fools either and could guess the reason why Mark Zuckerberg desperately tried to buy Instagram.

This app is particularly similar to Facebook, but has more attractive features than Facebook.

The moment Mark saw it he felt threatened and didn't expect Izumi to be ahead of him in everything whether it's the price or sincerity, perhaps this was where he lost.

However as expected, not everyone was happy with this news.

____

Such as..

*Bang* *Baam* *Clank*

"Shit!!"

A pineapple faced man with a caesar haircut cursed while smashing things with a baseball bat.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!"

After a series of cursing and smashing, he took a deep breath and threw the bat to the ground.

"Good Good Good. I didn't expect to get defeated by a newcomer. Today, you've won Izumi Miyamura, but next time the victory will be mine."

With gritting his teeth, he praised Izumi and vowed to never lose again...Then left the room angrily.

*Slam*

A white lowercase font 'F' logo on a blue background fell down due to the violent impact.

(A/N: Any guess?)

____

Another was a handsome pale-skinned man with slick black hair that had a single streak of white hair swept into the back, empty black eyes and a notably grim looking face.

(Pic Here)

Gets up like a zombie.

Now, he was yelling at his lackeys.

"Bastards! Useless! Can't even do a simple job?! Trash!"

He felt that his dignity was being trampled by these 5 people, rubbing under their feet.

How can he allow this to happen?

Subordinates kneeling on the ground don't dare to raise their heads in fear of being killed by their madman boss.

After all, his bad reputation was well known amongst his subordinates.

Outside, he may be a gentleman, but inside he's an out and out trash lower than the scum.

After venting his incompetent fury, he expression returned to his previous cold and indifferent look.

His eyes swept down the people kneeling and ordered, "Go and prepare the next part of my plan. If anything goes wrong, then.."

He didn't say and his meaning was self evident.

People couldn't help but tremble at his undisguised threat.

They knew very well that if their results weren't up to his satisfaction then they'll die and even their families won't be spared.

Receiving the order, they didn't dare to delay anymore and left the room under his scrutinizing gazes.

They were given a simple task of monitoring Kyousuke Hori's family members as somehow he got the information about his hidden identity and began to brew some nasty plans for him.

However, who'd have thought that nearly all his subordinates were killed before they could grab that girl and finally fled in panic.

At first, he thought of Kyousuke.

He was a former general and coupled with his special identity, it was understandable that some protection should be arranged by him.

When he got the information, his body nearly collapsed.

It turned out to be that man's subordinates.

He wasn't a stranger to him.

And to be honest, even a person like him who always treats life as a thing couldn't help but be afraid of that man and his brutal methods.

If not for that man, he wouldn't be one day reduced to a sewer rat.

Obviously, nothing serious happened yet and he already escaped underground.

From this, it's not difficult to guess how scared he was.

He knew very well, once caught, his ending would be more miserable than those old men who died.

Naturally, he understood that there's no going back between them.

Either you or I die.

So, he had to bet everything on his next move.

These past few days, he always felt uncomfortable and didn't know why, whether it was imagination or something else.

He seemed to have noticed that a pair of invisible hands had been manipulating him like a puppet.

As if his every move was someone else's design.

So, that's why he had to hurry.

"I should've killed him before..." Azami regretted very much for not uprooting the weeds.

"And, damn that old trash! What are you thinking?!"

Azami Nakiri suddenly kicked the chair in anger, remembering a certain scar-faced old man.

His cheap father-in-law.

He had no respect for him either.

"Don't think that your Totsuki is safe. Soon, I'll take over and don't blame me for being ruthless to my daughter. I'm her father after all."

A dangerous gleam flashed his eyes as his lips upturned into a cruel smile.

He had already formulated a back plan to deal with him, i.e., his daughter.

Nakiri Erina.

He knew to deal with that man only backhand dirty method was suitable and what's better than his own daughter and also that man's cousin sister.

Azami knew what kind of person that man was and was fortunate that his daughter was able to create some bonds with him when they were younger, otherwise...hehe.

But, she wasn't his first choice.

His wife was the first and too bad, he couldn't find any information about her location, so in the end, he had no choice but to focus his attention on his daughter.

Time was the only thing he didn't have.

Although, he felt guilty for sacrificing his daughter, but who cares.

His meager amount of nonexistent guilt doesn't matter in front of the threat he was facing.

Regardless of the methods, regardless of what needs to be sacrificed.

In this World, winning is everything!

His life comes first and he was sure no one would blame him for this.

It'd be strange to say that he's not frightened or feeling the pressure of death.

I have to say, despite being cornered Azami didn't lose his calm thinking ability, and even began to develop fantasies about the future.

He was absolutely sure after getting rid of that man, he'd be awarded a noble peace prize from the World Council.

According to him, killing that man was tantamount to protecting the world from destruction.

Azami Nakiri seems to like limelight very much.

Though his analysis was correct at some point.

But.

In the end, he's a mortal like any other self- righteous mortal.
