Chapter 385 Can’t Sign It

Author: Five Generals
Quartet Group was supposed to be based in Sunrise.

With Darcy taking over the company, she wanted to rent an office building and expand into new markets.

Renting an office building should not pose an issue, so what could have gone wrong?

Kaze wanted to check it out.

He gave Snow a call to look into the situation while walking out.

Clover Center was a newly built office building in the city, so the space was vacant.

After careful deliberation with the senior executives, Darcy decided to rent the entire building, including the basement parking to run Quartet Group’s operation.

Quartet Group and the realty for Clover Center had come to a verbal agreement in a matter of two days.

The annual rent was 20 million dollars with an upfront payment of a two-million-dollar deposit.

The representative of Quartet Group would sign the tenancy in the morning as Darcy was away, attending Shangrila Group’s renaming ceremony with Miru.

Darcy assumed it was a straightforward transaction

    “What are you trying to say, Ms. Quint?” Dave narrowed his eyes. “Our legal teams drafted the contract, and now you’re saying you’re not signing it. You’re wasting my time.” He sounded malice. His demeanor screamed gangster instead of a company director. Thud. Darcy threw the contract on the table and said curtly, “I’m not wasting your time. You were not serious with the deal. We agreed on 20 million dollars on a year’s lease, but the amount here has changed to 200 million dollars.” 200 million dollars? The rental went up tenfold. Another 200 million dollars and Darcy could buy the title deed to Clover Center outright. Riley and the others behind Darcy were startled. With haste, Riley stepped forward and grabbed the document for a look. Sure enough, the rental price was 200 million dollars. “You’ve gone too far to change your mind at the last minute, Mr. Pamela.” Riley hurled the papers down on the table furiously. She was near tears. It was a good thing she was n

    Arrogance. It was pure arrogance. Darcy never imagined that Dave would tear the stamped receipt right before everybody’s eyes. “Do you think you can destroy the evidence by ripping the receipt in half, Mr. Pamela?” Darcy heaved her chest and pursed her lips. Click! Dave took out a brass lighter and set the receipt on fire while saying, “Don’t be mad, Ms. Quint. I can tell the stamp is fake on the receipt. I’m afraid someone has impersonated one of my employees and scammed you out of two million dollars.“You should demand your money back from the person. My company is not involved in this.” All that was left of the receipt was ashes. Dave would not even return the deposit to them. His message was loud and clear. Darcy could bite her tongue and sign the unfair contract or get nothing at all. “We’ll see about this, Mr. Pamela. See you in court.” Darcy turned around to leave. Riley and the others stormed off. “See you in court then. I’m not the one needing an offi

    Was it Darcy’s lucky day? She held the phone, and her mouth dropped wide open. She could not believe that Master Quint would do something nice for her. “If I run my company in Quintessential Group’s office building, what about Quintessential’s business, Grandpa?” she asked skeptically. “Quintessential Group is becoming a shell of its former self. What’s the use of such a big office building? I can’t think of a better idea than to support your career. “Come over to the house now. Your uncle and the others will have a talk with you.” With her phone in her grasp, Darcy fell into a daze. In the end, she decided to take a trip to her family home. She could sense the sincerity in Master Quint’s tone. “I need to head home for a bit. You guys should get back to the office. We’ll figure something out once I get back.” Darcy told the employees before driving off to the Quints’ family residence. The employees got ready to leave dejectedly. “Come on, Riley. Stop blaming yourse

    “Shut up!” Buckling his belt back on, Dave cocked his head back and yelled. Riley shuddered with a pale face. It just dawned on her that Kaze was on his own. Dave, on the other hand, had burly men around him. Not only would Kaze have trouble saving her, but he might be dragged into this with her too. “Run, Kaze. Call the cops and tell Ms. Quint and the others!” It occurred to Riley that Kaze had just been out of a mental institution, so he probably did not have a handle on things. Riley quickly told him what to do. “Are you deaf, bitch? I told you to shut up!” Dave looked at her menacingly and raised his hand to slap Riley. Furrowing his brows, Kaze extended his leg to clip a chair. He pushed the chair with the tip of his foot. The chair swiveled in the air and crashed onto Dave’s shoulder. Smash! “Argh!” With the chair splitting into pieces, Dave coughed out blood. His heavy body tumbled to the right, slamming onto the desk. The pain was excruciating. Ril

    Sizzle! The cigar scorched Dave’s tongue, and smoke permeated from his mouth. “Ugh!” Dave shook his head violently. As Kaze covered his mouth, Dave could only whimper in pain. The endless agony drained the color off Dave’s face. His eyes turned bloodshot as he gave Kaze a pleading and fearful look. Kaze was unfazed. Apart from Jackal and his team, the rest in the office stared at the scene with their jaws dropped. The situation made their hair stand and sent shivers down their spine. Even Riley was horrified by Kaze’s ruthlessness. Kaze only released Dave once the cigar was put out completely in his mouth. Dave sank to the ground and held his throbbing neck, gasping for air. Kaze paid him no attention. Instead, he took out his buzzing phone for a look. Snow was calling. “Mr. Chairman, Clover Center is one of Mr. Forrester’s invested real estate.“In other words, you own Clover Center. Most of the commercial spaces Skyline Estates manage belong to you.” Kaze

    Dave had such thoughts? “Are you even worthy?” Kaze’s words pushed Dave over the cliff to the abyss of despair. “How about I recommend a place for you to go? As for whether you can make it out alive, it depends on how well-connected the top three families are.” Kaze called Don. Soon, a police siren sounded downstairs. Kaze handed over the video he had taken of Dave and his men, which recorded the evidence of his crimes. Dave and his men were taken away. “Watch them. If the top three families got into the police department and silenced them permanently, then we can add another charge on them,” Kaze said to Don. Don nodded. Soon, Clover Center’s management was handed over to a company named Vista Management. Vista Management was a department under Vista Group and its chairman was Haste Vista, also a well-known figure in Lilyrose. Haste went to meet Kaze himself and thanked him for what he did. “Mr. Vista, it’s you. You don’t need to thank me, it’s nothing.” Kaze

    “What is it, Grandpa?” Darcy was still carried away by the kindness of her family and did not expect much. Master Quint sighed and said, “Darcy, we helped you when you are at your lowest because we are family. We all have the same blood flowing in our veins. Am I right?” “It’s great that you view me as a part of the family, Grandpa.” Darcy was gratified. She thought after the incident with the Hansers, Master Quint and her uncle had finally awakened and cherished each other more. As long as they could reflect on their mistakes and treat her parents better, she would forgive them. As Master Quint said, they were family after all. Master Quint was delighted with her answer. He added, “Now that you are leading Quartet Group, we are worried about you and we don’t want others to laugh at you. That’s why I hope you can merge Quartet Group with Quintessential Group.” The other family members looked at Darcy eagerly. Darcy frowned but she nodded. “It can be arranged but it’

    Darcy clenched her fists as tears rolled down her cheeks. She did not turn around or cry loudly. The Quints scolded and cursed her because they wanted to see her fail. She refused to show them her weakest side! Then, the chairman of Vista Group, Haste, strode into the house. “Ms. Darcy Quint! Vista Group has taken over the management of Skyline Estates and I am here to tell you that we are renting Clover Center’s office unit to Quartet Group. Please come with me to sign the contract…” The house that was filled with gloating and criticism was silenced instantly. They knew Haste Vista. He invested in Quintessential Group before. The man came all the way here just to offer Darcy a rental contract for the office. Was she that influential? Even Darcy could not believe what she heard. “Chairman Vista, are you joking with me? Clover Center is being managed by Skyline Estates and Dave Pamela just blacklisted me and my company. All the other property companies refused to rent

    “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

    “Worried about the mercenaries? I’ve taken all of them out and anyone with a sane mind would know by now not to come after me. Why would they make the same mistake again?” Kaze killed all the mercenaries. There was no one else the mastermind could send after him anymore. Even if there were, they would have to reconsider it after what had happened. Taking out the mercenaries in silence was a strong showcase of his strength. Once the mastermind found out, he or she would definitely stay away. Besides, Kaze had decided to continue his journey to Westeros without telling anyone. He could board a random flight to his destination, and no one would ever know. “Take me to the airport,” Kaze said to the driver. He and Snow were in the rear seat. “When you go back to Butterworth, don’t rush things. Now that Katie has made a mistake and is forced to step down, you can take over Northborn Group,” Kaze said. “Speaking of Katie, after I locked her up, her daughter, Leah, came to me

    Miguel stated his strength so that Kaze and Snow would look at him differently. “That doesn’t mean we have to choose you.” Snow saw nothing stellar in him. Snow’s harsh words surprised Miguel and left him deeply displeased. Yet when he looked at Kaze, he dared not say a word. “I can work hard. Even if I am not qualified now, I can work toward that goal.” “Of course, you are not qualified now. You need to improve yourself to meet the basic requirements. Then we’ll talk about you joining us.” Snow just wanted to get this matter over and done with, so she handed Miguel her name card. “When you think you are qualified, you can give me a call.” Since she would eventually take over the largest force in Butterworth, she needed to build a team of her own—one she could truly trust. Miguel might just be an ordinary man who looked fierce but he was courageous and had the potential to be better. “Can I follow him instead?” Miguel took the name card and learned Snow’s name. He

    “You did well,” Kaze praised Miguel. It was not easy for someone to fire a gun and take a life, even when he had basic training. Though without the proper technique and training, the shot was nothing stellar. “Really?” Miguel was thrilled by the praise. He might be tall and fit and have arms full of tattoos, but he had never gotten into a fight before. He was happy that someone he admired praised him. It made his day even more than escaping alive. Kaze wanted to continue but the cars had arrived. He walked forward and revealed himself in front of the headlights. The hostages were scared. They stepped back, some of them entered the hangar once more and tried to shut the door. Miguel stood in their way and stopped them from closing it up. “What are you doing? Kaze is still here and help has arrived. Stop hiding,” he said. He detested their selfish behavior. Kaze saved them but they did not even thank him. They even continued to suspect Kaze’s identity.

    “How dare those men hijack the plane and take Kaze. They must be punished…” Despite her grumbles, Snow grew anxious. “Given Mr. Lee’s capabilities, he won’t be hurt.” The agents around her tried to comfort her. They believed she was being too nervous. “I know, but we as subordinates have failed him by allowing this to happen. We have to do our best to make up for the mistake, and not rely on Mr. Lee to get out because he can.” Snow drowned in self-blame and regretted not being able to help. It was her negligence that allowed the hijacking to happen. “But there’s nothing you can do now. It’s late. Even the hijackers need to rest. They won’t do anything yet.” “It’s because the hijackers need to rest that we have to hurry and beat them to it. That’s the only way to solve this matter!” “But we’ve searched high and low and didn’t find anything. No one knows where they have gone. Even if they transported the passengers via buses, we didn’t see any tracks.” The agents discu

    Kaze breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly went over to Miguel and pressed his hands with the gun down so that it would not misfire. “Good job.” “Thanks.” Miguel curled his lips into a nervous smile. He frequently trained in the gym and mixed martial arts but had never encountered any real-life incident before, thus being inexperienced. Fortunately, his mentality was stronger than the others and allowed him to act accordingly. “I’ll be taking the gun. This is self-defense, you won’t be charged and you won’t need to take responsibility,” Kaze said. Miguel’s pale face looked relieved. “What should we do now? Are there more of them?” Miguel dared not let go of the gun, worried there might be more enemies. “I’ve counted the numbers and this guy here should be the last one.” He then took the gun from Miguel’s hands. “Really? Gosh! That was crazy! I was so terrified!” Miguel finally loosened up and let his instinct take over. His heart was pounding so fast that it

    Manson came over and saw the mercenaries lying in their own puddle of blood. The gore shocked him and made him sick. He tried his best to hold back the urge to throw up as it would attract attention. “Don’t look if you can’t take it! Don’t make things worse!” “Yeah! Professor! Grow a pair of balls!” “I have never seen dead bodies like this before!” he explained with a flush of embarrassment on his face. “Can we go out now and run away?” The hostages were eager to leave as things had settled down outside. They thought the danger was over. A dead mercenary was inside the container with them and they were still horrified. Once the others found out about this, the hostages would be shot to death. “If you want to die, be my guest. The moment you step out, you’ll be shot!” Callahan said as he looked at the others scornfully. One of the hostages had already put his hand on the handle of the door and was ready to dash out, but he quickly pulled his hand back after listening
