But after stepping through Professor Agasa's front door, he had the distinct feeling that everyone was looking at him strangely.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Jiang Hang looked at Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho beside her.
With a subtle expression, Conan told him about The Pioneer Foundation's glorious achievement of nearly bankrupting The Black Organization back then. In the end, the Karasuma Group had been forced to sell off Karasuma Family assets everywhere before The Black Organization managed to recover.
After hearing this, Jiang Hang's expression became equally strange.
Why did his system keep giving him extra scenes? Hadn't it told him before that The Pioneer Foundation was just background scenery? What kind of background scenery could nearly bring down The Black Organization?
However, the system did not continue playing dead this time. After a while, it told Jiang Hang:
The Pioneer Foundation was only responsible for providing him with a legitimate source of money and would not affect the world's overall trajectory.
As Japan's largest conglomerate at the time, the dissolution and bankruptcy of the Karasuma Group had been an inevitable development. The Foundation's "money-making workers" had seen an opportunity for profit and made a fortune from the Karasuma Group's dissolution within the limits the world could accept.
The Black Organization's near-bankruptcy during its early days, and its reliance on selling off Karasuma Family assets to sustain operations, had likewise been an inevitable development for the world.
Jiang Hang more or less understood what his system meant. In other words, even without the Foundation, the wealth left behind when the Karasuma Group dissolved and went bankrupt would have been divided among other conglomerates and forces. In the end, The Black Organization would still have needed to sell assets to maintain its operations.
