Chapter 3 Candidate for Succession

Author: Five Generals
“Kaze, you’ve recovered?!”

Seeing the clarity in Kaze’s eyes, Darcy covered her mouth in disbelief, thrilled to see her husband looking lively.

“Yes, Darcy, I have recovered.”

Kaze looked at Darcy as his eyes teared up despite having gone through countless brutal fights on the battlefield himself.

Darcy broke down in tears instantly. She was thrilled to see Kaze healthy.

Kaze pulled her into his arms. He felt sorry for putting her through so much suffering all these years.

“Hmph. So what if you’ve recovered? You are still a piece of trash,” Deborah said with a scoff.

She sat down, pointed at the folded table in the corner, and said loudly, “Get over there and sit down. Contributing ten billion? What a joke!”

Kaze frowned. He wanted to argue but Darcy stopped him and dragged him over to the corner.

The four of them sat at the folded table.

The others were having a feast whereas Darcy and her family were served four cups of ramen.

Master Quint at the center seat looked at the ebullient atmosphere and his heart filled with grandeur.

“Quiet everyone, I have an announcement to make.”

Everyone put down their cutleries and listened.

Master Quint nodded in satisfaction and said, “I believe everyone has received news of Sky High Investment Group making a high-profile entrance to Lilyrose City.

“The Sky High Investment Group is a world-class company, a titan in the industry. Their coming to our city will be a great chance for the power hierarchy to reshuffle, and it will be an opportunity for our family.

“Our family might be second-tier, living a decent life, but other families can easily overtake us in power. That’s why we must seize this chance to get an investment from Sky High Investment Group. Even if it’s just a little, it will be enough for us to live a carefree life and rise to the next level of power.”

Master Quint got excited as he explained. His face flushed as he continued, “I hereby announce that whoever of us obtain an investment from Sky High Investment Group will be entitled to ten percent of the company shares, and… the position of general manager!”

The shocking news left everyone in shock and awe.

“Ten percent of the company shares is a huge sum of money! We can use it on anything we like!”

“The most important thing is the position of general manager! That’s the second highest position in the company!”

“But it's a difficult task. I heard many families in the city are lining up to meet the representatives from Sky High Investment Group.”

While everyone was in a heated discussion, Deborah got on her feet.

“Grandfather, don’t worry. I’ll definitely get the investment! I have already asked Vincent to submit a proposal to them. I believe we will get a reply from Sky High soon.”

Her words shocked everyone. They were jealous of Deborah’s influential support.

Vincent Hanser was her boyfriend, the eldest son of a first-tier family in Lilyrose.

With Vincent’s help, it was almost certain that she would get the investment from Sky High Investment Group.

“Good! Good! You are indeed the best among my grandchildren, Deborah! Your birthday is in three days and I’ll make sure you get the grandest birthday party!”

Master Quint was thrilled. “Deborah, if you secure the investment, you will be the next in line to inherit the family business!”

As soon as Master Quint made the announcement, Darcy and her family were shocked.

As part of the extended family, everyone was extremely sensitive toward the position of the heir, especially Darcy’s father who was the second son.

Deborah’s father was the eldest son, and her family never treated Darcy and her family well. If Master Quint passed and Deborah was chosen as the heir, then Darcy and her family would suffer.

Looking at the pale looks on his in-laws’ faces, Kaze said, “Grandfather, does it mean that if Darcy gets the investment, she will also be made a candidate for succession?”

His question silenced everyone.

Pft!

Samus scoffed when he heard the question. “Kaze, are you still a retard or what? Darcy getting the investment? With what? With you and your retarded brain? Eat your ramen and shut up! I bet after this meal, you and your family will starve again.”

Deborah lifted her head and looked at Kaze in disdain. “Retard, you might not know since you’ve just recovered but Darcy and her parents are deep in debt. They are selling whatever they can and borrowing money everywhere. I wonder if Darcy has to sell herself to put food on the table.

“Oh, I remember it’s Darcy’s birthday as well in three days. We share the same birthday anyway, but we definitely don’t share the same financial status. She’s living in poverty. Why doesn’t she pick up the cake that she made and keep it for three days later?”

Everyone laughed. They all looked at Kaze and Darcy scornfully.

The insults made Darcy cry. Sobbing, she said, “Deborah, where is your conscience? You snatched my company away and put me in charge of your declining company. The debts originally belonged to you…”

Deborah stopped her immediately and cried, “Darcy, one more word from that mouth of yours and I’ll slap it off! You are useless, don’t put the blame on me!”

The atmosphere got tense as a catfight almost broke out between the two ladies.

“Enough.”

Master Quint spoke to calm the atmosphere. He then said, “Kaze, if Darcy gets an investment from Sky High, I will clear her debts and give them back the bonuses from previous years.”

Darcy’s parents, Agnes and Hector Quint, were delighted by Master Quint’s promise.

Ever since Kaze left on Darcy’s wedding night, the family’s annual bonus had been confiscated by Master Quint, and a few million in total at that.

If they could get the bonuses, then their lives would change for the better.

However, before they could fully embrace that idea, Master Quint added, "But Darcy must also recover the debt from Pietro Beneli!"

Agnes and Hector were stunned, while the rest were surprised.

Pietro Beneli was a well-known gangster in Lilyrose City.

Other family members tried to recover the debt from him before and they were almost beaten to death.

Master Quint’s request was obviously trying to put Darcy in a difficult situation.

In a panic, Agnes exclaimed, "No, Father! It's too risky! What if something happens to Darcy? What if they harm her?"

Deborah then feigned a difficult look and said, “Aunt Agnes, it’s okay if she doesn’t want to go, but you and your family won’t be able to make a comeback for the rest of your lives.”

Upon hearing Deborah, Darcy and her family turned deathly pale.

Darcy was in a dilemma.

Then, Kaze held her hand and whispered, “Darcy, take the offer.”

What?! Darcy thought she heard him wrong.

She frowned and whispered back, “Kaze, what are you talking about? That’s Pietro Beneli, it’s not possible to try to recover the debt!”

Kaze confidently said, “Darcy, trust me. Take the offer and I’ll help you recover the debt.”

    Looking at Kaze’s confident face, Darcy hesitated. She thought of her family’s current financial situation and it gave her no choice. She bit the bullet, got up, and said, “Grandfather, I’ll go and recover the debt.” “You stupid girl! Are you crazy? What if that gangster ripped your face apart? Henry wouldn’t want you then!” Agnes panicked. The others were shocked, including Master Quint. No one expected Darcy to take up the task. Samus and the others gloated at her. He then took a five-dollar bill and tossed it at Darcy. “This is for your bravery and for you to take the bus back.” Deborah crossed her arms and said with raised brows, “You agreed to go yourself. If anything happens to you, don't blame us.” Kaze glared at the few of them coldly. He did not even want to argue with them because they were simply clowns. He held Darcy’s hand and left the mansion. Meanwhile, Darcy’s parents were giddy with anxiety. Agnes gritted her teeth, “We must ask Henry to help us, he’s o

    Lee? Pietro looked at Kaze, baffled. “There is a man named Kaze Lee, and I’m trying to teach him a lesson.” A loud thud could be heard from the other end of the line. Pietro asked, “Boss, are you alright?” Then, a thunderous roar from the man was blasted into Pietro’s ear through the phone. “Alright? I’m not f*cking alright! Are you trying to f*ck with me now?! I’m warning you, whatever that man tells you to do, you f*cking do it, understand? He is a God from now on!” Pietro was stunned. He had never seen Giovani this scared for as long as he worked for him. He instinctively asked, “Boss, are you mistaken? He’s just some trash who married into the Quint family.” “Pietro, are you trying to get yourself killed? You and I are like flies to him. One swat and we are all dead, crushed! You understand me?!” “Boss, I…” Pietro got nervous. “Last warning. That man is someone that not even I can mess with, you better take care of your own a*s!” The call ended abruptly. Pie

    “Hmph!” Miru scoffed. “I would like to see how you do that. By the way, do you know where Henry is bringing us to dinner tonight? It’s the third floor of Cloud Nine! A piece of trash like you could never get into such a luxurious restaurant even if you work your entire life!” Agnes’ eyes glimmered with excitement. “The third floor of Cloud Nine?! Only Golden members can make a booking at that place!” Cloud Nine was one of the most famous restaurants in Lilyrose and only by spending above ten million on a single receipt, one would be eligible to apply for the Golden membership. Master Quint was the only one in the entire family to have a Golden member card. As for floors above the third, the required spending would be much higher. Miru glanced at Kaze and scoffed, “Kaze, this is the difference between you and Henry. I have no idea what gives you the confidence to continue staying at Darcy’s side.” “Miru, stop talking to this piece of trash. Darcy is here. Let’s go. We wouldn

    “Pietro’s boss? Isn’t that Giovani Beneli?” Miru scoffed and said, “Kaze, do you even know who Giovani Beneli is? That is a big shot with a vast network and influence, even my godfather has to respect him. You are here saying that Giovani Beneli is hosting a feast for you as a token of apology? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” “Miru, if you don’t believe me, you can go up there and see for yourself,” Kaze said calmly but Miru rolled her eyes at him. Henry regained his composure and said with a smile, “I think he saw Giovani’s car at the entrance, that’s why he said so. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, or else all of us would suffer if it reaches the man’s ears.” Everyone was afraid. “I’ve had enough of your nonsense!” Agnes slammed the table and shouted, “You keep being a retard and it embarrasses us. Get out of my face or I’ll slap you to death!” “Kaze, why don’t you go first? I’ll come home after dinner.” Darcy was embarrassed as well. She got up and dra

    Miru was excited to catch a glimpse of someone that prominent as well. “Darcy, let’s go have a look at the elevator later,” Miru said as she tugged on Darcy's sleeve. “I’ll pass. I have to go back with Kaze later…” Darcy was a little tipsy after a few glasses of wine. Miru sighed disappointedly and said, “You are still thinking about that retard? This is a golden opportunity! If we leave a strong impression on those people, your family won’t have to worry about money anymore!” “Then… alright.” A while later, Geoffrey received a call. Everyone got nervous. Was the important person coming down already? Geoffrey put his phone down helplessly. “My father just called and told me the dinner is over. The important person has left.” “How unfortunate. I thought we could get a glimpse of the person…” Everyone sighed. “Darcy, are you done?” Kaze came into the room. “Kaze, what are you doing here? Go away!” Miru was still reeling in the disappointment of not seeing the

    Miru scoffed. Henry narrowed his eyes and nodded. He ridiculed, “Sure, Kaze. You can show me how it’s done.” He did not want to waste his time on a retard. With his wealth, if he wanted, Darcy could live like a queen. For all that he cared, he might as well give the chance to Kaze and let him screw things up. With the useless retard as a comparison, Henry had a good chance to stand out.Agnes ignored Kaze completely and asked, “Henry, can you invite Pietro to Darcy’s birthday party? We can thank him for paying us back.” Henry’s smile froze. When he called Pietro earlier, Pietro scolded him and hung up impatiently before he could say anything. He did not expect Pietro to really pay up. He was uncertain if he was able to invite Pietro to Darcy’s party. However, when he saw Kaze looking at him, his heart tightened. He bit the bullet and said, “Agnes, don’t worry. I’ll call Pietro and invite him.” He pulled his phone out and dialed the number. His heart was pounding wildly

    What? Did Darcy recover the debt? How? Deborah just told everyone that Pietro was furious because of Kaze and Darcy. Deborah and the others were stunned, including Master Quint who then dug his ears and asked, “You… You really got the money back?” Darcy nodded and gave the man the check and the account book. “Grandfather, this is the check, please have a look.” Master Quint stared at the check for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded, “It’s a check from Pietro Beneli.” The rest of the family members felt relieved. It seemed Pietro was not mad at all because Darcy got the money back, which meant the Quint family would be safe and fine. “Hmph! Do you really think it’s you who recovered the debt? Stop dreaming!” Deborah stepped up and shouted, “If not for me, Pietro would never give you two the money! He slapped me! He must have given the money back to compensate me!” The other family members nodded in agreement upon hearing Deborah’s explanation. S

    “You keep pretending. How did a retard like you get the money to buy Goddess’ Heart?” Deborah taunted Kaze before showing Darcy her new necklace. “I can’t wait to put this on during my birthday party. I will then wear it to the signing event with Sky High when I get the investment. This is sweet!” Samus flattered, “Deb, you will soon be the brightest woman in Lilyrose! As for someone else, they are not even in the same league!” Everyone was jealous. They thought highly of Vincent for buying an expensive piece of jewelry like the Goddess’ Heart for his girlfriend. How generous! Kaze’s patience ran out. He stepped forward with clenched fists but Darcy held him back. “Kaze, calm down!” “Look at that! Look at the retard! Is he trying to hit me?” Deborah pretended to be scared. “If you hit her, I’ll tell Grandfather to throw you out tomorrow!” “Hmph! A retard trying to beat Deborah?” The other family members stepped up to defend Deborah. Samus raised his phone and thre

    The middle-aged woman was beautiful and shared a resemblance with Rhys. Her expression darkened, her eyes filled with anxiety. She was Naomi Road, Boris’ wife who was ten-plus years younger than him and Rhys’ mother. Kaze scanned the surroundings but did not see Boris anywhere. Naomi strode into the crowd and saw Rhys on the ground, covered in his own blood, and Kaze, who stood nonchalantly as if he was not part of the situation. Her face further darkened. “Rhys, what happened? Why is your head bleeding again? What happened to your nose?!” She turned to the crowd and shouted, “Who hit my son? Who did it!?” “Mother, help me…” Rhys cried even louder in his mother’s presence, saying, “It’s him! It’s Kaze Lee! He found out that we asked Chief Hill for help and he knew he’d be punished soon, so he got anxious and slapped me! “I fell and hit my head on the pavement. He then stomped on my face too! He disrespected our family and Chief Hill altogether! “He even said no on

    The second group of people had accents from all over the place, seemingly tourists who came to Riverbank for vacation. When they arrived, Rhys raised his voice and cried louder. “Kaze Lee is trying to kill me! It hurts! He thinks he’s beyond the law, he thinks he’s stronger than Chief Hill! What did I do to you…” Rhys lived up to his reputation as the owner of an agency for actors and actresses. While he cried, he painted himself with blood, adding to his already messy appearance. “Rhys Road, you are shameless!” As more and more people gathered, Collier got anxious. He stepped forward and bellowed, “You’re accusing Kaze! You think Chief Hill doesn’t know that?” “Mhmm. Interesting.” Kaze looked at Rhys covered in blood, his nose still bleeding. The gaze from his eyes turned icy cold as he stared at the idiot. “Who is this punk? Why is he causing a scene here?” “Doesn’t he know Chief Hill is here at River Watcher Inn? How dare he! He’s even trying to kill someone?!”

    “How dare you break Rhys’ legs! You’re dead!” “I heard you are a live-in husband with a beautiful wife. Too bad. Your wife is going to be a widow after today.” “Maybe we can help her with that, let her have some fun while you are gone.” “Hahaha…” Rhys’ followers went up to Kaze and Collier, surrounding and mocking them. They were furious, seemingly ready to avenge Rhys, but no one took action other than spewing empty threats. Kaze raised his brows, looking scornful. They were trying to provoke him to attack them, but the fools got the wrong person. Kaze was not someone who could be easily angered. Collier noticed the people were closing in on them and might jump on them at any time. He bellowed, “Rhys Road, stop this nonsense at once. Chief Robin Hill is inside River Watcher Inn and he’s meeting with Kaze!” When Robin’s name was mentioned, the people around them froze and helpless twitches could be seen on their faces. Their anger subsided a little. Even Rhys calm

    “Kaze, Siberian is on his way to you. After what you’ve done to Anzu, he’s coming after your life.” South’s voice came through the phone once Kaze answered the call. “Kaze, please know that this is your personal conflict with Siberian and has nothing to do with me, or the Steelclaw Guild.” Kaze chuckled. “Siberian wants to avenge Anzu? He’s a cold-blooded killer. Since when does he have a conscience? Are you sure it’s not because of something else?” “It’s really personal this time. I just found out that Anzu is actually Siberian’s sister, like a true sister. Anzu was sent to Ryokan and learned under their grandmaster, so she would eventually be a Ryokanian. “Siberian has always hoped for his sister to help his family regain its former glory. Yet her first mission in Arcadia was to kill you, and you caught her, almost killing her. “God knows how much Siberian hate you now. Though I am sure Siberian will only come after you and not your men or the people around you. He’s that e

    Albert got the news as well. He was eager to face Robin and even volunteered himself. However, Kaze rejected him. There was no need to send Albert to deal with a trivial matter. It would only make it seem like Kaze was afraid of Robin. As for Collier, he was simply there to lead the way and drive Kaze around. Kaze did not expect him to be any useful. “Kaze, it seems like Boris Road is really coming after you. He probably twisted the facts in front of the Godfather and accused you of something else. That’s why, instead of Rory, Robin Hill was sent here with more men. “The chief of the Execution Hall has always kept a low profile and stayed hidden. I don’t know much about him. It’s a surprise that he could defeat Hannah. “As the chief of the Execution Hall, Robin Hill is certainly a figure with authority and power in the West State Viper’s Den. “I’ve got news that Boris Road and his wife, Naomi, are heading to River Watcher Inn with their best men from Great Road Group.

    Agnes was frightened by Phoenix’s fierce methods. She strongly believed the only way for her family to be safe was to follow Phoenix's orders and flatter Joan, and not oppose them anymore. Darcy frowned. “Are you sure about that?” She knew the truth regarding Kaze and Perfect World Group but not so much about the mayor’s decision. Therefore, she slightly leaned toward her mother’s suggestion. It was unlikely that the mayor would suspend a project that could potentially be worth billions just because Kaze requested so. Kaze confidently said, “Just trust me. I believe you still can get insider news from Sky Ocean Corporation, so you can keep up with what’s going on. Just listen to me and avoid that old hag.” He then took his phone out, which had been buzzed for a while. A glance later, he said, “I still have something else to take care of. I’m going out. “Don’t you run away now!” Agnes shouted. “You bastard! You put us in this mess and you’re leaving? So what if all that

    Agnes did not care if Darcy was tired, she just wanted to get this done there and then. Kaze frowned. If he stayed, this nonsense would continue endlessly. He turned around and tapped Sky on the shoulder, saying, “Take Darcy upstairs to rest. I’m not coming back tonight.” Suddenly, Hector came over with the phone in his hand and a panicked expression. “Darcy, your grandaunt is on the phone. She wants you to go to Sky Ocean Corporation now.” “She wants me there?” Darcy and Agnes were both surprised. Darcy frowned but her mother shuddered with fear on her face. “Let me talk to her.” Kaze took the phone off Hector’s hand. The call was still connected, so he said, “Tell that old hag that my wife is not free now. If she wants to see Darcy, tell her to get over here herself.” Phoenix’s voice came from the phone and she did not sound happy. “You little bastard, you…” Kaze hung up the phone without giving her the chance to speak. Agnes was stunned for a few seconds before

    “Bullshit! You fulfilled your duties to our family? You’ve been putting us in harm’s way!” Agnes stepped closer with an intimidating gaze and pointed at Kaze’s chest. “Come on, stab me or strangle me, or else you are going to divorce Darcy no matter what!” Kaze scoffed, “You want me to stab you so I can go to jail? Keep dreaming.” Agnes clenched her teeth. She continued threatening him, “Then I’ll go hang myself at the door! I want the whole world to know that my son-in-law made me do it! I don’t believe that after you forced me to kill myself, Darcy would still want to be with you!” Kaze then took some money out of his wallet. “Go get a good rope.” “You shitty…” Agnes was consumed by her anger. “Darcy, are you going to just watch as this bastard takes advantage of me?! I’m your mother, I’ve raised you, I gave birth to you… Are you going to abandon me because of some outsider?!” She started crying in front of them. “Mom, can you stop making a scene?” Darcy was havin

    “Let me go. I don’t want to talk to you now,” Darcy said, her tone remaining cold. Kaze decided to be shameless and said, “I am not letting you go. I am going to hug you until the end of time…” “You bastard! How dare you kick me! I’ll beat the shit out of you!” Before Kaze could finish, a sharp and irritating shout echoed across the backyard. Agnes, whom Kaze had kicked to the couch earlier, came with a broom in her hands and her disheveled hair as she strode over to Kaze. Kaze helplessly released Darcy and pulled her away. Darcy looked at the mad woman who was her mother. She then spotted the footprint on her abdomen and glared at Kaze. “You kicked my mother?!” Kaze shrugged and said, “She lost her mind. She slapped Hector and beat up Emiko, forcing her to scrub the floor on her knees. I thought I’d wake her up from the unhealthy fantasy.” “But you kicked her?! She’s my mother! What if you hurt her?” Darcy bellowed. When a woman dislikes you, even breathing could be
