Ran, the Great Detective (The Useless Cat Who Failed to Evolve Because She Slept Too Deeply)

For Fang Zheng, dealing with Kyosuke Koto was effortless. After that, he returned to his work—business had been busy lately, after all.

"Nicely done."

Looking over the contracts and reports in his hand, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction and looked at Akemi before him.

"You've worked hard."

"It was nothing. Just as you said, Mr. Fang Zheng, any problem money can solve isn't really a problem... Still, I had originally planned to acquire several American companies..."

"Forget about whether they live or die."

Of course, Fang Zheng knew why Akemi had specifically brought this up. Ever since he had made that declaration to the entire world, the American stock market had immediately plunged, and the Nasdaq had been particularly devastated. Not only that, while the United States government claimed it would use every means to strike down those evil terrorists, the guerrilla warfare Fang Zheng supported had left them overwhelmed. Nothing else was needed—blowing up trucks and railways was enough to bring economic circulation to a halt. And once the economy stopped moving, the United States wouldn't be far from collapse.

As a result, many companies were now planning to withdraw from the United States. Quite a few multinational corporations intended to move their headquarters to Asia or Europe.

After all, no one wanted the cruise ship or airplane they were riding to suddenly get blown up one day, right?

Although the United States government had sent people through various channels to find Fang Zheng, this mysterious figure, Fang Zheng simply ignored them completely. His attitude was simple: no negotiations, no compromise, and he wouldn't stop until he had destroyed them. If the United States had the guts, it could launch nuclear missiles. With him around, if those missiles could leave North America, he would count it as his loss.
