Chapter 414: – Wherever This Goes

A public relations catastrophe for the VTuber trade.

That was the mildest solution to put it. If John needed to go in additional element, he’d name it virtually an apocalyptic catastrophe for a fledgling firm.

A expertise pushed to excessive measures after bullying from administration and gaslighting from different abilities. An organization that exploited their abilities by authorized loopholes whereas squeezing each final drop of revenue from them.

If it wasn’t for the truth that Venture MirAIs had been the pioneers within the area and placed on such a powerful entrance and constructive angle, it might have been ruinous.

John scrolled by his emails after which let loose a sigh. “Belief a single grasping particular person to break it for everybody else.”Geett the most recent novels at novelhall.coman nature did not change whatever the world, timespan, or historical past, it appeared.

Happily, John was ready to repair all the things.

It was late within the night, however John was nonetheless caught in Fable Inc. HQ engaged on paperwork and enterprise plans.

He would have beloved to have the ability to spend time at dwelling congratulating his beautiful spouse and cute daughter on their first day at college, however this was a time-sensitive state of affairs.

Apart from, he already handled them out for dinner, in order that ought to be sufficient of a cross for now.

However anyway…

John glanced at his inventory portfolio and hummed. “They’re nonetheless holding out, huh?”

He was pumping Variant Hue’s inventory to induce the founder to promote, however it appeared like he was a cussed man. That, or grasping.

Another tech bros had hopped on the bandwagon scooping up shares too, so it was unattainable for John to get a majority by correct means.

Properly. If he REALLY wished to get them, he may. However whereas he was doing a hostile takeover, he would somewhat not do a HOSTILE takeover simply but.

Because of this, John was left with 25% of Variant Hue’s shares. 51% was held by the CEO, and the opposite 24% was break up amongst numerous different individuals.

Like Golden Orca.

Oil cash was oil cash, in any case.

However anyway…

John learn the e-mail that was simply despatched again by Hiroyuki and Co.

There was quite a lot of authorized arguments and formalities, however to chop straight to the purpose, they wished his assist.

The plan was to tug that CEO into the open and pop open the can of worms of how corrupt the group was on the core. And to do this, they wanted discovery.

Sadly, Japan did not have discovery, so that they wanted to have the case introduced up in U.S. courtroom.

Now, John wasn’t fairly an skilled on regulation… no less than, not authorized regulation.

Legal guidelines of existence, sure, legal guidelines of man an civilization, not fairly.

However he knew sufficient that it would be a tricky case.

In spite of everything, regardless of all the things, Variant Hue’s CEO had sufficient cash to flaunt proudly owning a yacht and float a cash sink of an organization.

Properly, that final half was largely by squeezing sure individuals dry, however the level nonetheless remained.

The expertise behind Meryl Kodomo wished to take Variant Hue for all they had been price, and Hiroyuki and Co. had been keen to do it professional bono out of precept.

However they’d nonetheless be massively outgunned.

Thus the letter.

John tapped his fingers on his desk and hummed. “That is going to be a bit tough.”

It could be straightforward to blow up this powder keg of a state of affairs. And from how dialogue was even beginning to unfold to a number of the ladies’ chats, it was an enormous deal.

The issue was that it may simply spin as Fable Inc. attempting to crush its rivals in the event that they did issues out of order.

To not point out that the CEO of Variant Hue was concerned in a number of the political teams right here. If he threw a match, issues may get messy.

…In fact, that was usually.

In a world the place John did not exist, that man would reside free from penalties and simply brush all the things underneath the rug as a negligible blip of their fiscal 12 months.

Sadly for him, John DID exist.

“Alright.” John forwarded the e-mail to their in-house counsel, Fae and Co. together with some directions to cooperate and present copyright infringement by Variant Hue.

“That ought to handle the formalities… The toughest half then ought to be the logistics.”

A civil trial would not do a lot. In spite of everything, cash wasn’t a difficulty for the man.

But.

“Tch.” Asako clicked her tongue after which regarded again at Rin. “Anyway… Guessing faculty went high quality, Sis?”

“Hm?” Rin regarded up after which nodded. “Yeah. Actually boring although… Ooh! However I acquired to do a enjoyable afterschool stream with the Ohana! Working with Mira-chan makes it very easy!”

Asako twirled a little bit of her pasta after which hummed. “Which means we need not use the studio for full 3D streams anymore, I assume?”

“Mmhm!” Rin nodded and stated, “After I arrange Mira-chan, the voice filters and all the things labored routinely!”

Alphy’s eyes lit up after which she stated, “Oh! Then I can stream with Mama, Meggie, and everybody then, proper?”

Asako glanced over at Alphy and stated, “I believe it’s best to clear that with John first, Alphy.”

“Oh. True…” Alphy regarded down and stated, “I wish to introduce the Alfis to everybody although…”

Rin raised her hand and stated, “Ooh! I do know!” She smiled and stated, “Mister John stated he wished to convey us all on a visit, proper? We are able to do like an enormous collab stream then with everybody!”

Asako took a chew from her alfredo and hummed. “True. Dunno when that’ll occur although. John’s been fairly busy… I imply, have you ever seen that factor in regards to the Meryl woman or no matter?” She began twirling one other piece of her pasta and stated, “Fairly certain that is going to take a bit to get resolved.”

Alphy sipped on her strawberry milk after which nodded. “Mm… Papa does have so much to do just lately. He did not even get an opportunity to go to us at our live performance…” She sighed, however then cheered up. “Properly, no less than I’ve extra cute cousins to play with!”

Rin tilted her head. “Cousins?”

Alphy nodded. “Mmhm! Papa’s massive brother simply moved right here along with his household! We’ll have an enormous household reunion quickly to have a good time!”

Asako munched on a shrimp after which stated, “Simply how massive IS your loved ones, Alphy?”

Alphy hummed. “Properly, there’s Auntie Zhaojun, Auntie Xuannu, Auntie Daji, Auntie Jenny, Uncle Titor, Auntie Amadeus… Now there’s Uncle Grey, Auntie Eliza, and Auntie Artemis…” She paused, relying on her fingers. “Um… Uncle Titor and Auntie Amadeus are having a child, so there’s one. Uncle Grey has a son and a daughter, so two from there… Oh! I forgot about Grampa Yudi! So…” Alphy’s eyes began spinning. “U-Um… Do I depend Little Xuan and Little Wu too? After which there’s Meggie, Betty, Rory… Um…”

Asako sighed. “By no means thoughts.”

Rin took a swig from her soda after which stated, “I virtually forgot, however did we ever resolve on when to play the VR recreation collectively? Since it has been some time, there ought to be much less individuals bothering us, proper?”

Asako hummed and stated, “I assume we may make it a weekend factor? You might have faculty now, so we won’t do it on a weekday.”

Rin huffed and stated, “We completely may!”

“I would somewhat not get yelled at by your mother, Sis.”

“Oh.” Rin paused after which laughed. “Proper…” She rubbed her arm and stated, “I do not wish to get placed on day out once more…”

Alphy completed her slice of cheesecake and moved to seize one other. As she did, she stated, “Why do not we strive what Papa did?”

Rin tilted her head. “Hm? What did Mister John do?”

Alphy took a chew of her cheesecake after which stated, “Papa does not stream a lot, however when he does stream, he likes doing… Um, I believe they’re velocity sprints?”

Asako shook her head and stated, “It is a speedrun, Alphy.”

“Proper!” Alphy nodded. “A speedrun!” She smiled and stated, “Since we do not have a lot time, we will simply beat the sport quick, proper?”

Rin hummed. “That is an excellent level. And the sport *did* look fairly straightforward…”

Asako blinked and stated, “You assume that speedrunning a recreation the place we even have to maneuver round and struggle goes to be straightforward?”

Rin nodded. “Mmhm! I imply, I’ve overwhelmed a bear earlier than! Cannot be a lot more durable, proper?”

Asako paused after which frowned. “…Truly… Hm.” She rubbed her chin and stated, “The Ki-sama HAVE been saying I am too girly just lately. If we speedrun the sport, they will not have the ability to say something about it.”

“Proper?!” Rin nodded and stated, “So we’re doing it?”

“May as nicely.” Asako shrugged and twirled some extra noodles on her fork. “I am operating out of concepts for streams anyway.”

Rin frowned and stated, “Cannot you simply do some late-night driving zatsudan or one thing, Aneue?”

Asako ate the noodles after which pointed her fork at Rin. “You see, that is a terrific thought. However Mister John stated that it is a unhealthy affect on the youngsters… and he additionally stated one thing about tempting destiny.”

Alphy nodded. “Papa’s proper.” She frowned and stated, “Using round at night time will appeal to devilish beings to you.”

Asako paused. “I extremely doubt that… however contemplating all the opposite bizarre stuff happening on the planet, I will be cautious.” She sighed. “Anyway…” She checked out Rin and stated, “Made any pals at college, Sis?”

Rin huffed. “Everybody’s boring. I imply, Riri is there, so we hang around. However Chi-chan is appearing like a Gyaru, and Suzu-chan acquired drafted as the scholar council president, so we won’t even hang around. Plus, guys preserve coming to attempt to speak to us after we’re attempting to simply chat, after which the ladies in school do not like us very a lot. I imply, the lecturers are good, I assume?

Asako shared a glance with Alphy.

Alphy giggled.

Rin paused and stated, “What’s so humorous?”

Asako smiled. “Nothing, Sis. You had been saying?”

“…Hmph. Anyway, the one attention-grabbing factor that occurred at the moment was that I ran into this man who acquired misplaced utilizing a navigator app within the faculty.
