To Fang Zheng, the epitaph meant nothing. He merely glanced at it and gave it no further thought. Then, at Kanon's invitation, Fang Zheng entered the conference room—though the tense, hostile atmosphere before him was truly irritating.
"Then let me confirm this once more."
After reading through the agreement in his hand, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at everyone present.
"According to your discussion, the final terms are that fifty percent of Kinzo Ushiromiya's wealth will be left to the next head of the Ushiroomiya Family, while the remainder will be divided equally among the other siblings. The property will be distributed upon Kinzo Ushiromiya's death... Does everyone agree to this arrangement?"
"..."
Faced with Fang Zheng's question, Krauss Ushiromiya, the eldest brother, remained silent, while the others watched him with somewhat smug smiles.
"If you have not yet reached an agreement, then you may continue negotiating until you arrive at terms acceptable to all parties."
Fang Zheng placed the agreement on the table.
"Also, I would like to meet Mr. Kinzo Ushiromiya and discuss the inheritance distribution with him in person."
"This..."
Krauss Ushiromiya looked troubled at Fang Zheng's request, while Ushiromiya Rudolf gave a cold laugh.
"He's right, Brother Krauss. We also want Father to clarify these matters. If Father had made a decision long ago, we would not be wasting our time here."
"Yes, why not take Mr. Fang Zheng to meet Father?"
Ushiroomiya Eva joined in at that moment as well.
"This is an important agreement whose legal validity needs to be confirmed."
"But Father dislikes meeting outsiders, and he dislikes noise even more..."
Pressured by his younger brother and sister, Krauss Ushiromiya frowned and spoke hesitantly.
"Regarding the inheritance, I insist on discussing it with him face-to-face."
Fang Zheng stared at Krauss Ushiromiya
