Next Step

Inside the car, they were talking to each other, but then Seri couldn't help but say that the development of his investment bank wouldn't be smooth.

"I can see that too, but don't stop," Haru said while resting his chin on his hand and his index finger tapped his cheek slowly, rhythmically.

Kirari smiled and said, "So you have found the problem?"

"Rich people are troublesome and I have touched their cake, so it is normal for them to try to hinder me before, but then again, I am not easily defeated." Haru smiled and said, "Let's change the target."

"Change the target?"

"Sorry, I phrased it wrong, I mean, let's add the target," Haru said.

"Wait! Wait! You're going to talk about business secrets again, right? Is it alright to do it here?" Sora quickly stopped him.

"It's alright." Ritsu smiled and said, "As long as I am here, there won't be any people who will eavesdrop on our conversation."

"...."

The girls felt a bit speechless by Ritsu's confidence, but they didn't think too much since they knew that this girl was a genius regarding machines and IT-related matters.

Haru closed his eyes and thought for a while before he said, "Let's slow down for a bit. I won't talk about my plan first, but my plan to build an investment bank won't stop, and lastly, Kirari, can you introduce me to the people on that side?"

Kirari raised her eyebrows, but then she quickly calmed herself. "It's a crime to add the money of the people from Yakuza."

"!!!"

"Do you want to have a connection with yakuza?!"

The girls were startled when they heard Kirari's words.

"Not the Yakuza, but the pachinko parlor owners," Haru said. He had opened a pachinko parlor in All Might's world together with Tsunade before, after all, so he knew very well how huge this industry was.

"Pachinko?" Kirari's eyes brightened and nodded. "Don't worry, I'll set up a meeting with them as soon as possible." Her family's business was in both black and white and her family had a lot of connection with yakuza or rather, half of the branch family of Momobami Clan was a yakuza after all.

"Pachinko, huh?" Seri thought for a while and didn't say anything immediately.

"Why do you want to meet pachinko parlor owners?" Utaha asked.

"It is because they have money," Haru said simply. He told them that most banks would have prejudice about pachinko parlor owners since they usually related to yakuza and the money from yakuza was illegal so the bank would avoid it.

However, the pachinko parlor was different since it was legal and its market was huge.

Haru knew that it would take a very long time for him to build his investment bank even if had the help of Erina's, his grandfather, and Kirari's family.

"Does pachinko parlor really make money?" Sora raised her eyebrow and didn't believe it.

"Ritsu, how much do people in this country spend on pachinko every year?" Haru asked directly.

"200 billion U.S. dollars," Ritsu said simply.

"...."

Erina, Utaha, Sora, and Megumi were stunned.

Even if Erina's family was rich, however, her family was nowhere close to 200 billion U.S. dollars.

Haru also explained that the size of the pachinko market was even bigger than the city of sin, Las Vegas which caused them to startle and shock since in their minds the largest gambling business would be in Las Vegas, but didn't expect that it would be in their country.

"Seri, I know that I have troubled you with a lot of things and you have been very busy. I am very grateful to you and very happy that you're working for me," Haru said.

Seri blushed and quickly shook her head. "No, you're the one who saved me at that time, and without you... I don't have anywhere to go." It was the truth since she was really glad to be with him, however, she wanted to have more than a professional relationship.

"I know that we have just acquired "Nentendo" and you're in the process of acquiring "Startbucks", but there's another company that I need to acquire to start my plan," Haru said.

"Haru-sama, please tell me anything." Seri put her professional expression.

"6-Eleven and Whatsapp, I need to acquire both of them," Haru said.

"6-Eleven?!"

Everyone was in shock when they thought that Haru was going to take down the giant convenience store company.

6-Eleven, Childrenmart, and Loveson were the three biggest convenience store companies and 6-Eleven was the largest one among the three of them.

When everyone was surprised, Seri and Ritsu weren't that surprised since Haru had acquired NBCUnited, which was worth more than 6-Eleven. They didn't know what Haru's plan was to acquire 6-Eleven, but every company which he had bought was always related to each other which created a chain of businesses which meant each business could complement each other.

"Right, I only remember it now, what is the name of this investment company?" Seri asked. She almost forgot about it, but she hadn't asked about the name of this investment company before.

"Let me name this!" Utaha quickly raised her hand.

"...."

Everyone looked at Utaha with a speechless expression.

Haru smiled and said, "You're not going to name my company name with something like Super-ultra-big-large-hyper something", right?"

"Of course not!" Utaha snorted and said, "You have named your private plane and yacht Sora and Megumi's name, I also want to name your company too."

Erina, Ritsu, Kirari, and Seri stared at Haru at the same time.

Haru could only rub his face with a helpless expression. He looked at Utaha and said, "Go on." He hoped that the name created by Utaha wouldn't be bad.

"It's the Ant Group," Utaha said with a smile.

"Ant Group?"

Everyone looked at Utaha curiously.

"Yes." Utaha nodded and said, "Yes, I feel this name is very suitable since ants are very hard-working animals. Think about it for a minute. They never give up. No matter how many times you squish their little ant hill, they build it again. No matter how many times you flick them away from your food, they come back. They will go over, under, and around anything on their way to get where they are supposed to be! They are always looking ahead. In the summer, they are storing up for winter." She looked at her boyfriend and asked, "So what do you think?"

"It's a great name." Haru nodded and said, "Let's name it, Ant Group."

Seri nodded and wrote down on her note.

Then the business talk ended and he quickly hugged them since he needed to recharge his energy at this moment and at the same time, he really felt grateful that he had a lot of girls who supported him so much.

"Thank you."

They smiled and also hugged him back, but then they knew that they would have a very exciting night.

However, Seri had one question.

"Haru-sama, what is Whatsapp?"

"....."

Haru forgot that this app wasn't that popular right now.
