Chapter 1697 Backup From Headquarters

Author: Five Generals
Cheryl had to admit that Christian had a point.

Even if Kaze had no intentions of going after her, Cheryl did not plan to let bygones be bygones.

The only thing on her mind was to kill Kaze.

Skipping the topic, Cheryl asked, “How was your talk with Zion’s management team, Christian?”

After Magnus and the Viper’s Den failed to defeat Kaze, Cheryl put her hope on Zion Mercenaries.

She nagged Christian about contacting his superiors in hopes the latter would send even stronger backup.

“Headquarters have been doing an evaluation on Kaze’s competence. I just got a reply today, and they are sending someone stronger, ma’am.”

Christian nodded and said, “But you should know that the price is higher if the reinforcement comes from the headquarters.”

He failed to mention to Cheryl that even without the request, Zion headquarters would still assign backup.

Zion was pushed to that decision when Kaze demanded Zion Mercenaries leave Arcadia and threatened them to do so within days.

    “Cosmo!” Darcy grimaced. She knew who he was. The police force in Lilyrose put Cosmo behind bars for a while, and the Lees put pressure on Kaze to bail Cosmo out. The Lees even sent Adam to act as a mediator. Cosmo did make it back to Sunrise City in the end, but his legs were broken. Since then, the Lees’ presence disappeared from the city for a while. Even Lee Investment was on the down low. Cosmo’s appearance at Sky Ocean Corporation was not a good thing. Darcy quickly put two and two together. “You sent those people from Vista Group yesterday, Cosmo.” Darcy narrowed her eyes at Cosmo. “What do you want?” “You’re quick to pick up. I should get straight to the point.” As Cosmo’s lewd eyes violated Darcy, he said with a smile, “I don’t want a lot. I just want all your shares in Quartet Group and Sky Ocean Corporation.“Hear that? I want it all.” Cosmo carried himself with an air of domineering confidence, his determination unwavering. He had a clear unders

    “I hope to see the papers signed by you to transfer the shares by this time tomorrow. “Clean yourself up when you see me tomorrow. You get what I mean. “Sure, your husband has connections to the government now, but I can show you what hell is.” Cosmo threatened Darcy recklessly. He assumed Darcy knew that Kaze was the mayor of Lilyrose. However, the message went over Darcy’s head. She simply took Cosmo’s words at face value. To be fair, the Lees were rich and powerful enough to overlook Lilyrose’s city council. “Give this woman something to think about.” Cosmo clapped his hands. Plop! A foreigner with Cosmo pulled out a gun from his holster. The foreigner took a step ahead and slammed the gun on the table in front of Cosmo. The employees of Sky Ocean Corporation were taken aback. Cosmo was so arrogant to flash a firearm in public. The veteran security officers stepped forward to protect Darcy and her employees while looking warily at the two foreigners behin

    The senior executives talked among themselves in a panic. Darcy drew a deep breath and looked at the veteran security officers. She asked, “Are those foreigners mercenaries?” “Yes, Ms. Quint. They have served in the army. They have this presence about them.“They were outrageous enough to show their faces in Arcadia and flashed their guns. I’m sure there’s nothing they won’t do,” a security officer commented solemnly. The senior executives grew anxious. Some even wanted to hand in their resignation. The Lees had their eye on Sky Ocean Corporation and even hired foreign mercenaries. These mercenaries were cold-blooded murderers. The group felt chills down their spine. Fear washed over Darcy too. “You are all dismissed. I will figure out a way. I promise no one else will be dragged into this. Trust me.” She sent the senior executives home and locked herself in the office. Darcy did not expect Cosmo to take things far in the name of vengeance. However, the circumsta

    “Darcy, we should talk inside where it’s more private,” Cosmo said with a smile while drawing puffs. He brought his men to block Darcy at the door in case there was a trap waiting for him inside the building. Cosmo could not be sure whether Darcy would fight back. Though he managed to instill fear in Darcy, he knew that Darcy and Kaze were notoriously stubborn. However, Cosmo had nothing to worry about if he entered the building with Darcy. With Darcy as his hostage, Kaze would not try anything foolish. “Alright.” Darcy got her act together and nodded. She could not refuse now that she fell into the hands of Cosmo. Cosmo’s people surrounded Darcy while Sky Ocean Corporation’s security team escorted Cosmo’s group. The crowd surged into the building. The group stepped into the lobby and took the lift to the floor where Darcy’s office was. Cosmo knew then that no ambush was set up in the building. “You have a night to think things through. What’s your answer?” L

    Sky Ocean Corporation was a recognized business second to Perfect World Group.Kaze bought the company at the auction for 500 million dollars. The corporation grew in assets due to its successful mergers and development. In addition to the company shares held by the Queens for Darcy, her own shares were worth more than a billion dollars.Yet, Cosmo wanted to buy all her shares for a hundred dollars. It was a joke. “You are not serious about doing business, Cosmo. “You want to acquire my shares for a hundred dollars. That’s daylight robbery. “Do you think I wouldn’t call the cops?” Darcy said curtly, her cheeks flushed with anger. She ignored the night at the hotel comment. Either way, her response would egg Cosmo on. Cosmo seemed to get a kick out of Darcy’s rage. “Are you threatening me, Darcy?” Raising a brow, Cosmo waved at his subordinates in the back and smirked. “Why don’t I call the cops for you? Should my people help you make the phone call?” One of

    “Get it, Ms. Quint?” Cosmo’s subordinate said with a pretentious smile. His flat tone was creepy. Even Darcy had goosebumps. She dared not imagine what would happen to her family if they fell into the hands of Cosmo. “Maybe you should just sign the contract, Ms. Quint. You’re in charge of the company’s daily affairs. Even if Mr. Lee becomes the shareholder, you can work for him, and you will be paid well.” “That’s right. Mr. Lee is wealthy. I believe he’s a generous employer.” “No one can handle the consequences of upsetting Mr. Lee.” The senior executives persuaded Darcy. Nevertheless, it somehow slipped these people’s minds that Cosmo was not demanding Darcy’s shares. He wanted to have a night with her too. The change of ownership in shares made no difference to them. It was just a change of boss. That was all. However, if Darcy challenged Cosmo’s authority and pissed him off, the executives might get dragged into the mess. Hence, they wished they could hold D

    The menacing look on Cosmo’s face made Darcy shudder in fear. Kaze put his hands on her shoulders before frowning at Cosmo. He said in a chilling voice, “You’re one of the Lees?“I’ve never seen you before.” Before Kaze left the family, Cosmo, a minor at the time, rarely visited the family residence.It made sense that Kaze did not recognize Cosmo after years had passed. Though Kaze was the reason for Cosmo’s tough living situation behind bars and Harrison breaking his legs, Kaze had never met Cosmo in person. “Bastard! I can’t believe you don’t know who I am!” Cosmo yelled savagely. Cosmo was in a miserable state because of Kaze. Yet, the latter did not know him. The feeling was worse than when Kaze ignored him earlier. “Fine. It doesn’t matter that you don’t know me.” Cosmo nodded and hissed through clenched teeth, “You’ll know who I am after today, Kaze. “I came here to make you pay.“But it’s not going to be a quick and painless death. I want to steal your wife

    Kaze was out for blood. He would have struck had he not been worried about causing unnecessary fatalities and injuries in the crossfire.“Are you alright, sir?” A subordinate helped Cosmo up in a fluster. “Get lost.” Cosmo shook the subordinate’s arm off and wobbled his spinning head before coming to grips with reality. He glared at Kaze and rubbed his cheek. “You have the nerve to hit me, loser. “You mooched off the family, and then we kicked you out. How dare you hit me!” The office was filled with Cosmo’s angry screams. Ignoring the weapons directed at him, Kaze said indifferently, “Didn’t I break your legs a long time ago? “I’ll say this one last time. Kneel and apologize. You better tell me your name.“Otherwise, I can guarantee that you won’t be walking out the door.” Sky Ocean Corporation’s senior executives shuddered. “So you want to know my name? “Fine. I’ll tell you right now. At least you’ll know the name of your killer.” Livid, Cosmo turned arou

    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
