Chapter 16 Dissolve

Author: Five Generals
Before Kaze even replied Darct, the list of birthday gifts was presented.

“The Chief of Lilyrose City Council, Johnson Brooks, presents a Van Gogh painting.”

“The Jetstar family, the Junon family, the Joestar family, each presents five million dollars.”

“Mr. John Walker, Mr. Genji Lord, Ms. Jasmine Sundar…”

When the guests arrived in the banquet hall, they were once again shocked by the VIPs invited.

From politicians to well-known businessmen, those affiliated with both the underworld and the government were present.

The powerful figures of the business world all came with expensive presents.

Pietro, who was in charge of announcing the guests’ names and their gifts, was in awe. Even with his experience, he was amazed by the presents received and their value.

Master Quint and his family were jealous when they heard the presents being announced, especially Deborah.

It would be great if they were the ones who received the presents and not just Darcy.

    Kaze smiled. “Yes, I am the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group, in the flesh.” Agnes flushed. She curled her hands around Kaze’s arm tightly. Having the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group as her son-in-law would make her the most famous lady in all of Lilyrose City. The next time she met up with her friends, they would be envious of her. Her friends who used to look down on her would probably flatter her or kneel before her for forgiveness. Master Quint could not contain the jealousy in his heart as he stared at the pile of expensive gifts. He went up with his glass of wine and said, “Darcy, the Quintessential Group is facing some funding issues at the moment. Can you spare some of your presents to help us overcome this problem? Consider it as a contribution to the family…” Agnes was displeased when she heard Master Quint. “Father, I clearly remembered that we were excommunicated. Why must we contribute to your family?” Master Quint chuckled awkwardly. “That was jus

    “My marketing director said he doesn’t know you at all.” Could it be that Kaze was impersonating the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group? Agnes’ heart sank deep into the abyss. Darcy looked at Kaze, not knowing why he would impersonate the chairman. “But the presents are indeed for Darcy.” Kelly reluctantly explained, “I don’t know why but the presents are from the chairman. He wishes you a happy birthday.” She clenched her fists tightly when she explained and it fueled her jealousy. She thought she could finally shame Darcy in public but the chairman took a liking in her. However, if it was true, then Kaze might lose his wife soon. Kelly sized up Kaze contemptuously. Kaze was speechless. He left his men in charge of the company for years, so it was normal for the common employees to not know of his existence. Baffled, Darcy asked, “Kaze, what is going on?” Kaze explained, “Darcy, believe me. I am really the chairman.” “Enough!” Darcy glared at him. “Kaze, c

    After the phone call, Kelly bolted and left the presents behind. Everyone found it strange but the celebratory mood of the party was not affected. Even though Kaze was not the chairman, he knew the chairman, so it was possible to reach the chairman through him. Darcy and her family were heavily surrounded by guests who were trying to win over them. Agnes and Hector were flustered. They had been waiting for this moment for years and with it, they could finally lift their heads up as proud human beings, especially before their extended family. Master Quint said shyly, “Darcy, since the chairman is indebted to Kaze, why don’t you tell him to ask for an investment from the chairman? I’m not asking for much, one or two hundred million is definitely more than enough.” “Grandfather, I…” Darcy looked troubled. “What’s wrong? You can’t do it? You are a Quint and you can’t even do your family a favor?” Master Quint was displeased with her answer. Kaze knew the old man was trying

    “Mr. Lee, Sky High Investment Group is massive. It’ll take time for Ms. Quint to believe you. It’s normal. “How about this? Since the Construction and Material Society has just been dissolved, we can form a new company for the former board members and you can be the new chairman. Even though it’s not a fitting title for your status, at least you can have an official position and it will be much more convenient…” Kaze thought and nodded. "Sounds good. Sky High will provide the funds and the former board members can bring their resources to this new company. Sky High will be in control with a majority stake. Let's call it the Perfect World Group." Ray was thrilled to learn the new name of the company. With that, the former board members of the Construction and Material Society would form a working relationship with Sky High Investment Group. Kaze glanced at Ray and said, “Ray, why don’t you be the new company’s manager? I’ll just be a nominal chairman.” “My pleasure!” Ray nodde

    Darcy could no longer control her anger. She shouted, “Chief Brooks, don’t do this! I’ll call the police!” “Haha! You’re threatening me?” Ned laughed maniacally and slapped Darcy on the face. Darcy covered her swollen cheek and wanted to run but Ned caught her other hand. He pointed at the table and said, “Lay down and I’ll fuck you here and now! You bitch! Stop pretending!” “Let go of me!” Darcy struggled but she was no match for the man. Anxious, she grabbed a tumbler on the table and smashed Ned’s head with it. “Aaargh! You fucking bitch! You hit me? I’ll fucking rape you!” Ned covered his bleeding forehead and cried in pain. He was forced to release Darcy. Darcy tossed the tumbler away and ran out of the room immediately. After she left the place, she wandered alone on the street aimlessly. She was still terrified with her mind blank and clueless of what to do. Suddenly, she received a call from Samus. “Where the hell are you? Come back here right now!” Darc

    Ignoring the ferocious glares of the Quint family, Kaze went over to help Darcy up. “Darcy, let’s go home. I assure you nothing will happen.” He also helped Agnes up and brought them out of the mansion. “Darcy, you hit Ned Brooks! Do you really think you can run away like that? Turn yourself in!” “You better surrender for the sake of our family! Think of your parents! Hmph!” The others continued to threaten Darcy, causing her face to turn as pale as paper. “Kaze, send Mom and Dad home. I’ll go turn myself in.” After leaving the Quint family’s mansion, Darcy held Kaze’s hand as tears washed her face. She said, “Please take care of them. I don’t believe my grandfather and the others, but I believe in you.” Agnes was worried. She pulled Darcy away and said to Kaze, “Kaze, why don’t you take her spot? Darcy has suffered enough for the past few years and it’s all because of you.” Kaze’s heart was broken, but it was indeed his fault that Darcy and her family suffered terribly

    “What the fuck are you trying to do? Don’t come near me!” Ned instinctively retreated. His face turned pale. “Your wife hit me! One word and I can throw her behind bars for life!” “Are you threatening me?” Kaze darted forward and lifted the bastard by the collar. Bang! He rammed Ned’s head against the glass partition, leaving his head dangling outside while the rest of his body hung over the metal railing. “Aaaaaaah!” Ned screamed at the top of his lungs while struggling to get unstuck.The broken glasses cut his face, causing him to bleed terribly. “I am the Chief of the Housing Department! How dare you hit me, you fucking retard! You and your family are fucking dead!” Kaze did not say a word. He simply kicked the man’s bottom. “Aaaaaaah!” The kick squeezed Ned’s upper body out of the glass partition. The metal railing was crooked after the impact. Ned felt like his bones were all broken. Kaze went outside the office, grabbed Ned by the neck, and pulled his

    Everyone was shocked. What happened? Ned was beaten and stepped on but Johnson, his uncle and also the mayor, scolded him instead of apprehending the culprit. Johnson clenched his teeth tightly and stared at his nephew viciously. “Uncle Johnson, can’t you see? He almost killed me!” Ned continued screaming for help. “You got what you deserved!” Johnson then looked at the expressionless Kaze. He clenched his fists and teeth tightly. Then, he looked around and walked to an employee to take the baseball bat away. The employee planned to beat Kaze with the baseball bat, but it did not happen. Johnson raised the bat in the air. As more than a hundred pairs of eyes watched in disbelief, John swung the bat down at Ned. “Aaaargh!” Ned cried in pain. It was just the start. Johnson beat Ned furiously and he did not hold back at all. Ned continued to wail in pain. He had never been so insulted and humiliated before, being beaten up by his own uncle in front of more than a h

    The incident did not sit well with Kaze, so he left them out to dry. After much searching, Kaze came across a café. Kaze bought a cup of coffee. Cupping the drink between his hands, Kaze sipped slowly. Many passengers swarmed the arrival hall in the airport, dragging along their luggage or pulling out their phones to get a pick-up. They all had a destination, a place they had to be in a rush. Intrigued, Kaze followed the crowd out. Kaze turned on his phone, and a text message from his airport pick-up came in. He glanced at the message, curious about who the person was. Nevertheless, Kaze trusted that the Westeros Branch members would not set him up out in the open. At most, they would pull little stunts to mess with him. Kaze was not the type to sweat the small stuff. However, he would not tolerate any extreme behavior. He had been keeping a low profile back in Butterworth, keeping the limelight off him. The purpose was to handle Jet without unnecessary complicati

    “Alright. I will work hard to be the manager of the Northborn Group. You need to show me the ropes and teach me about management.” Leah looked at Katie with a smile. She believed Katie had not lost her mind. Katie simply had her memory mixed up. “You need to keep your people in line and reward those who deserve it. It all boils down to profits. “You need to work toward managing your people and working with rivals. You’ve got to keep the balance, and nobody loses out. “You need to build your own system when it comes to working together. Don’t be led around by the nose.” Hearing that Leah would start work soon, Katie imparted her knowledge. “Don’t worry too much about things. Joey is nice. You can go to her for help,” Katie said earnestly. Katie seemed to be herself at the moment. Leah wondered if Katie faked her insanity to escape the punishment. “What have become of you? Did they do something to you? “Did you really betray Kaze?” Leah whispered while leaning close

    Leah kept working on her knowledge until late into the night. Just as she was about to hit the sack, she got a message from Snow. Learning was a hard enough process. The text message came out of the blue. Leah did not expect Snow to contact her at night. The message was strange as well. Leah could not understand why Snow would give her the address of a nursing home. Leah was determined to turn things around. She strived to become stronger instead of being a burden. She was grateful for Kaze’s help. At least, she had a job now. However, her gratitude was not extended to Snow. She believed Snow had gone too far. Snow left her feeling powerless. Leah did not think much about the message. She assumed that the text was not meant for her. Since Leah did not respond to the text, Snow put the matter aside and went to bed. Leah called Snow the next day. “Why did you send me an address?” Leah went straight to the question. She had been equipping herself with knowledge before

    Snow could not believe her eyes. Katie suddenly went quiet and behaved like the CEO she was.However, Katie did not look like she was right in the mind earlier. “What’s going on? She seems to have gone insane.” Snow turned to the warden, still digesting the change. Katie had lost touch with reality before the Viper’s Den did anything to her. “How did this happen? She has been taking her meals. Just days earlier, she nagged about getting out because she was worried about her daughter. As usual, we didn’t respond to her requests.” The warden found the whole thing peculiar too. Just a few days ago, Katie demanded her release. Now, she kept to herself and abided by the rules. Out of the blue, Katie went nuts. Things had gotten complicated. Snow wanted to keep Katie behind bars due to her betrayal. However, Kaze decided against pursuing the matter for Leah’s sake. Katie would be let go soon enough, but she would lose her job at the Northborn Group. Katie’s presence woul

    It was quiet in the office. Snow sorted the last bit of paperwork before picking her head up in exhaustion. Her initial plan was to delegate the tasks. However, Katie was controlling. Previously, she personally oversaw many matters. Snow could not distribute the responsibilities because the employees had no experience in handling them. They came to Snow for every tiny, little thing, and Snow really got her hands full. Despite her frustration, Snow could let things go as Katie was locked up. “I should pay her visit.” Snow decided to see Katie. Some things should not be left unsaid. Leah would be working for the Northborn Group soon, and the mother and daughter should meet to tie up loose ends. The truth would put Leah to shame, and her guilt would stop her from ever betraying Kaze. After a quick bite, Snow drove to the prison. Katie was furious when she was imprisoned. She was one step away from victory. She was so close to leaving Butterworth to head to Westeros

    “Why do you want to sell the properties? Do you need money? Don’t you have some saved?” Joey had a good understanding of Leah’s finances since she ran all the paperwork. “My mother is being held, and I need money to ask favors. Maybe I can get her out.” Leah was not thinking much. Money could always be replaced, but not her mother’s freedom. “Don’t be silly. This is not the way to go.” Though Joey did not have the details, she observed that things were not as simple as Leah thought. Kaze was safe now, but the fact that Katie had betrayed Kaze and revealed his whereabouts remained unchanged. Katie had broken the Viper’s Den’s rules. Even if she got out, she would be a wreck. With Snow running the Northborn Group, Katie would remain a failure. Either way, Katie would not get away with it. Even if Leah offered all her assets, Katie’s situation would not change. It was a waste of money and resources for Leah to save her mother. Nothing would come out of it. “But I

    “Give me an answer. Are you taking the job? If you are, you should sort out your affairs. Don’t bring your personal feelings to work.” Snow was not the type to go easy on fragile women. If Leah did not have what it took, she could be forced to leave the company. Nevertheless, Katie had left a lot of assets to Leah. Even without work, Leah could very well survive. The girl would have trouble keeping the wealth, seeing that she was without power or connections. If Leah had a job, she would have the resources to hold onto her assets. Leah had seen the best and worst of mankind. She was once the center of attention, and now, everybody avoided her. It dawned on Leah that it was over for Katie. If Leah could not even keep a job, she would lose everything. “I didn’t know things would happen.” Leah never thought that Katie was capable of stabbing Kaze and her in the back. The thought of betrayal put Leah in distress. Kaze was a great guy who helped Leah a lot. Feeling ete

    Leah got dressed and was ready to leave, but she did not know who to turn to. She thought about going to her wealthy friends to see if they could uncover anything through their connections. However, Leah could not get a hold of them. It dawned on Leah that loyalty would fade when power was gone. Even though Katie was just missing, intel spread around Butterworth very quickly. These people must have found out and have chosen to stay away. Leah had always been treated like royalty. Nobody had ever avoided her like the plague. Nevertheless, she had not been in touch with these friends since her injury. Now, in her attempt to contact them, she could not reach them. “Why is this happening? My good friends have gone MIA, and I’m getting silence from those who have been trying to connect.” Sitting on the couch, Leah looked out the window in despair. She tried to seek help with her mother’s search, but her efforts were futile. She could do nothing for her mother. All al

    “I have to work hard starting today. But before that, I have to get some sleep.” Snow remembered that Kaze punished her to get some sleep. He said her face looked tired and pale, signs of how hard she had been working. It felt great being cared for. It was because of his kindness, Snow fell for Kaze uncontrollably. Yet she understood not all things were meant to be. After she returned home, she went to sleep immediately without talking to anyone. She only woke up in the afternoon after a comfortable and easy sleep. Next, she would have to work on many things, first being taking over Northborn Group. Katie’s disappearance had the company shaken, but it gave many others a chance. They tried to calm their subordinates down and contact the higher-ups for more information, hoping that they could replace Katie as the new CEO. Little did they know, their preparations would eventually fall short. Snow and her secretary arrived at Northborn Group in the afternoon, and her a
