However, to save face, Tokyo Chuo, at vice-president Mikasa’s urging, tries to pressure Cyber Acrobatics into accepting an additional investment of 50 billion yen so it can buy up Spiral’s stock.

At the same time, he begins to realize that Cyber Acrobatics’ earnings figures are not as transparent as they seem.
