My capital is quite large.

Chapter 331 Refusal to Reconcile

Miyamura adopted a pained expression, shifted his body, and pressed down on Hayata's trembling hand:

"Hayata-kun! This is terrible! This is an unforgivable betrayal!"

"You are such a gentle and outstanding person! You work tirelessly in Shin-Etsu's lab every day for this family. How could your wife hurt you in such a cruel way?!"

"It's not worth it! I really feel sorry for you, Hayata-kun!"

Miyamura's words struck Hayata's most sensitive nerve.

The fact that someone understood his grievances and stood up for him brought unprecedented warmth to this middle-aged man who had endured decades of hardship in the cold workplace and family.

He held Miyamura's hand, tears streaming down his face, their cups clinking together repeatedly.

As the drinking party drew to a close, Hayata's eyes became glazed with drink.

Miyamura glanced at his watch, smiled, and suggested:

"Hayata-kun, stop thinking about those unhappy things."

"Let me take you to relax tonight."

"I heard that there's an AKB48 general election report and handshake event happening around here today."

"There are lots of beautiful young girls there, how about we go join the fun?"

Hayata paused for a moment, his hangover brain still a bit foggy, and instinctively tried to wave his hand to decline:

"AKB48? Idols? Miyamura-kun, I'm too old for these young girls' performances. Forget it..."

"Hey, Hayata-kun, you just don't understand."

Miyamura blinked, revealing a knowing, knowing smile that any man could understand, and half-pulled, half-dragged him to his feet:

"Youth and vitality are contagious."

"Looking at those energetic girls on stage, shining brightly for their dreams, can make us feel a few years younger, right?"

"Let's go, let's go. Just consider it as accompanying me to see these new things."

Under Miyamura's enthusiastic and somewhat forceful tugging, Hayata, who was already quite drunk and feeling unsteady on his feet, reluctantly followed Miyamura out of the izakaya, wanting to see something new.

......

As the golden autumn of October approaches, on the North American sports field across the ocean...

With the annual League of Legends S6 World Championship arriving as scheduled, the enthusiasm of the entire esports community has quickly been pushed to new heights.

Unlike the heartbreaking defeat of last year's S5, this year's S6, with its overwhelming publicity and data hype, has been unanimously hailed by domestic commentators, media, and countless enthusiastic players as the most promising year in LPL history!

Last year's defeat was naturally attributed to the new recruits' lack of integration and insufficient understanding of the game version. However, after a year of hard work and perseverance, the team that went to battle this year has a lineup and form that fans consider unmatched.

"This time, we're truly aiming to lift the trophy!"

The online frenzy reached its peak on this day.

At the very front is RNG, led by Uzi, who is at the peak of his professional career!

This all-Chinese team is a source of pride, carrying the deep hopes and expectations of countless local esports fans.

Following closely behind is EDG, the domestic powerhouse team that just won the LPL Summer Split championship and is led by Clearlove!

Having weathered numerous setbacks in the World Championships, Clearlove and his team are eager to prove on this most dazzling stage that they still possess the strength to be the world's best jungler.

As for the third team representing the LPL, it is jokingly referred to by fans as EDG's second team: IM team.

To be honest, despite the hype surrounding the "pigs and dogs going to war" incident, this team didn't garner much attention or buzz before their departure.

Although they performed a "triple jump" that was quite rare in the entire history of esports this year.

They fought their way from the LSPL secondary league to the LPL, and finally managed to snatch a precious ticket to the World Championship.

However, for the vast majority of fans who only follow top celebrities, this grassroots team led by AmazingJ and Jinjiao is still somewhat lacking in foundation.

Even today, many casual players who entered the live stream specifically for the iQiyi VIP gift packs given away by Boss Li still can't even remember the names of the main players on their team.

"What were the mid laner and jungler's names again? Ava...Avoidless? And Athe...Athena? Holy crap, these English IDs are so hard to pronounce, I don't recognize them at all!"

"Alright, alright, forget about Team Two."

"The only matches to watch are RNG and EDG! With Clearlove and Wuzi on the team this time, even the Demon King Faker will have to avoid them!"

"When pigs and dogs go to war, not a blade of grass will survive!!"

This powerful cheering slogan was repeatedly displayed on Haofeng's Weibo and in iQiyi's live stream.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, the S-series tournament was in full swing, with millions of netizens glued to their computers, playing and cheering.

In the First Trial Court of the Intermediate People's Court of Jinling, a long-running transnational copyright dispute case that had dragged on for months and caused quite a stir in the physical cultural tourism and animation industries finally came to a conclusion.

Haofeng Group vs. Guangzhou Qiaotianzun.

The first instance verdict has been announced in the copyright ownership case concerning Showa-era Ultraman in the Tokyo area!

The courtroom was nearly empty, except for legal representatives from the two companies and a few observers from the provincial and municipal levels.

When the presiding judge solemnly struck the gavel and began reading the lengthy civil judgment, the entire courtroom fell silent except for the solemn voice of President Chen coming through the loudspeaker.

The verdict was a foregone conclusion.

"After review, this court finds that the so-called 'Authorization Agreement' signed by Sho Tsuburaya and Shinbo in 1976, which granted Shinbo the indefinite exclusive right to use the Ultraman works in nine overseas countries and regions, contains significant procedural flaws and factual irregularities..."

"Within the jurisdiction of the University of Tokyo, this power of attorney is deemed invalid!"

"The relevant civil judgments of the former Guangdong and Guangxi local courts in 2005 are hereby revoked! Within the territory of Dongda University, the Xinbote contract is hereby void!"

"Haofeng Group has legally acquired the exclusive copyright to the entire Ultraman series from Tsuburaya Productions. This is genuine, legal, and valid!"

"Haofeng Group is the sole owner of the copyrights and related commercial development rights for Ultraman in Greater China!"

Won!

A clean and decisive victory!

As for the defendant, Qi Aotianzun?

The representative sitting in the dock today, listening to the verdict, isn't even a proper member of management.

He was merely the nephew of the boss who had already been imprisoned, and owned less than 5% of the shares. He was just a cannon fodder temporarily pushed out to take the fall.

After all, in the past few months, there has been a crackdown on organized crime in Guangdong and Guangxi, personally led by higher authorities.

That shell copyright company that had been bribing and extorting large corporations for years, along with its major shareholders and protectors, had long been arrested and imprisoned.

A week before the trial, this small, defunct company sent numerous private letters to Haofeng Group's legal department through its lawyers.

Finally, they even came to Nanjing to plead: "Chairman Li! Please, have mercy on us! We are willing to withdraw the lawsuit unconditionally!"

"We only ask that you agree to an out-of-court settlement, in which case we can publicly write an apology letter to you and Haofeng on Weibo."

They were genuinely scared!

However, faced with this humble plea, Haofeng's legal department responded with only four cold words:

"Refuse to settle."
