“It’s no secret that Kaze is a moocher who took his wife’s last name. No one gives any shit about him.” Jem was from Chrysant. He only followed Hudson to Lilyrose when the latter established an investment firm in the city. Upon learning that Kaze would be the CEO of the company, Jem looked him up and held him in disdain. “Mr. Tulip, Kaze only became the CEO of my firm through his wife. He’s only a CEO by name,” Jem uttered contemptuously. “Loser or not, I’m going to kill him.” Danny looked upset. It was not a great feeling to be beaten up by a well-known loser in the city. Jem said, “An emotional blow is more anguish than a physical attack, Mr. Tulip.” “Your people sure love to beat around the bush. What are you trying to say?” Danny asked impatiently. Jem uttered, “Kaze will be reporting to work tomorrow. I can resort to some tactics to sideline him and make him transfer billions of dollars into your projects. We can take the money and leave.“The investor would go

“Many of the employees aren’t locals. Our former boss was at odds with Mr. Lee before. It’s a little unsettling now that we’re getting a new boss. We don’t mean any harm. We just hope Mr. Lee will treat us all the same.” Jem added, “We’d feel uneasy if you didn’t accept the gift.” That was the true reflection of many employees’ thoughts. Jem had previously put ideas in the employees’ heads. Now all departments decided to present Sophie with a gift. At that point, Sophie could not refuse the gifts. Representatives from other departments offered gifts that were not too expensive, so Sophie accepted them without reservations. Another two male employees carried chocolate Easter eggs over. “I’m Lennon Zest, Ms. Song. That’s Theo Kunt, my colleague in the back office. This is a gift for you, from the back office.”Giggles filled the room. A female employee teased, “Lennon, Easter is over. Are you giving away the chocolate eggs stashed in the office? I supposed the leftover e

Embezzlement was a huge deal in any company. Kaze raised a brow. An incident happened on the first day of his job at Hudson Investment Firm. It was interesting. Kaze stayed silent for the moment, waiting to see what Jem had in store for him. As Jem predicted, Sophie might be capable at her job, but she was too young and inexperienced in life. Sophie lost her cool right away. “What are you trying to say, Leslie? Don’t tell me you think that I instructed Lennon and Theo to take the money and run,” Sophie said angrily. “Ha, Ms. Song. Your words, not mine.” Leslie sneered. “But even if the instruction didn’t come from you, you are definitely involved. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have fled right after they bribed you. “Besides, why were they eager to give money to you when they were ready to skip town? Surely, you’re involved in some way.” Leslie glanced at the other employees and said with a smile, “Don’t you think so, guys? Why didn’t they give you or me money? Why did

Kaze sniffed out Jem’s trickery a mile away. No threat there.Kaze’s confidence was all the assurance Sophie needed. She asked, “Mr. Chairman, what do we do now? Do you need me to do anything?” The whole thing started with her, and she felt she had let Kaze down. As guilt consumed her, she wanted to do something to make it up to Kaze. Kaze said indifferently, “We need to find Theo and Lennon to retrieve the 10 million dollars. My money isn’t up for grabs.” “But Mr. Chairman, I believe they have skipped town since they fled through the night,” Sophie said worriedly. “Even if we call the cops, it will be hard to track them down.” Kaze shook his head. “That’s not for certain. They might still be in Lilyrose.” Jem was confident that Kaze would be reluctant to get the cops involved so as not to blow the matter out of proportion. In that case, Jem would not see the need to ask Lennon and Theo to flee out of the city. “Try and contact these individuals, Sophie,” Kaze said

Jem drafted the investment contract. Danny would be happy to sign the contract once Kaze yielded to him. Jem would get a cut when the funds were fired to Danny. It would be his cue to leave then. Danny’s eyes grew fervent as he was closer to getting 10 billion dollars. He laughed and said, “Good job, Jem. Here’s to a spectacle of someone’s pathetic begging!”He was smug. After the call with Jem, Danny dialed another number. A fighting gym stood near the street of consular offices in Sunrise City.It was rare to find Arcadians there. Most of the gym members were diplomatic staff from various countries. Baring his toned chest, Jason wrestled with several assistant instructors. Though outnumbered, Jason still ripped through his opponents’ offense.Wham! Thud! Bang!The assistant instructors crashed to the ground in agony. Danny’s call came in. Jason took the call and quickly made an unhappy face. “I can’t believe you want me to attack an Arcadian, Danny.” He add
