“We are the Quints, the top family in the city. Even Johnson takes cues from us. Maybe you don’t want to keep your job anymore, Don.” The Quints stopped Don. They questioned patronizingly about his refusal to make any arrests. Don smirked to himself. The Quint family was idiots to think they had the influence of the former top three families. “Why should the government arrest those you owe money to? What if the arrest causes a public outrage, and we get cases of suicide? Who’s going to take accountability then?” The Quints pulled wry faces at Don’s comment. It was not a situation they could handle. “So, the priority should be paying the investors back to stop the protest. Nothing speaks more volumes than money.” Don pushed away the people in front of him and took off. The Quints were infuriated. Don was a bastard for brushing them off. Well, they vowed to take his job from him. “Don has a point. The priority is shutting the investors up with money.” “That’s
“Fuck!” Rudy lost it. He felt like he had fallen into a trap. These circumstances never crossed his mind when he applied for government funding. The only thing on his mind was acquiring as many assets as possible. Now, they were stuck with a mess they could not get out of. “The God of War’s money doesn’t come easy, Rudy. You took the money, and now you must fix things. Do your bit and start making contributions to the locals.” Johnson ended the call. “I got word from Construction Bank that they won’t lend us money if Lilyrose Bank won’t, Rudy.” “The same goes for Lockhart Bank.” “Industrial and Commercial Bank too.” The other banks had given their response. No bank was willing to provide them with a loan. Instead, these banks hounded the Quints about repaying previous loans. Rudy scowled. The local council washed their hands off the matter.The banks refused to approve loans. However, the Quints could not just walk away from the issue. It finally dawn
The two sculptures on both sides of the gate to the Quints’ residence were knocked down and destroyed. The newly reinstalled main entrance was taken down and trampled under the group’s feet. The Quints’ home was demolished. The house was the Quints’ pride and joy, and they had been disrespected. “Who are you to start trouble here? Get out now!” The Quints approached with aggression. The family’s attitude rubbed the creditors the wrong way. “We are workers at the local paper mill. We have been owed our wages since last year.“We have been standing up for our rights, but the top three families stopped us from having a voice. “When your family bought over the factory, we were told that you would be resolving the wages issue. We thought we could finally see the money. “But your family had not sent a single person to talk to us and hear our problems, so we had to go to you. “Your security guards had their fingers up our noses and told us to leave. They called us lowlife
The Quints froze. It was only the beginning of the many debt collections to come. “You are kind people. Despite knowing the horrible situation left by the top three families, you bought the companies and cleaned up their messes.” The individual expressed his gratitude and left. Unbeknownst to him, his words cut the Quints like a knife. They were overwhelmed with emotions. Smack! Rudy turned around and slapped Samus in the face. He yelled furiously, “What the hell have you done, you bum?” Samus spent billions, and yet there was not a profit in sight. The family now owed hundreds of millions of dollars. The thought that many more would gang up on the family for money sent chills down Rudy’s spine. The Quints had no more money to offer. “It’s that bastard’s fault. Kaze put us in this situation. I want to kill him!” Samus covered his face and yelled.“No point in killing him. The most important thing now is to deal with these issues.” Ashen in the face, Rudy
When Master Quint called Horizon Mirror Mansion, Darcy was also looking at the news on the Quint and Lee families being sought after by their debtors, demanding payment. “I knew that something was wrong when the Quint and Lee families bid blindly without assessing the value of the companies. I just did not expect things to get out of hand so badly. “Everything collapsed on them at once. This isn’t normal. Someone must be pulling the strings from the back.” Darcy was speechless as well. The Lee and Quint families spent a few hundred million to buy some garbage. “The one who pulled the strings from the back is me, your dear husband.” Kaze said as he chuckled, “I am doing this for you.” “You keep telling yourself that.” Darcy rolled her eyes at him. She was surprised that Kaze was able to deal with Deborah but she did not believe that he was so capable of dealing with the two families. “Other than the Sunrise Lees and Butterworth Queens, could there be another family who
“Disaster has befallen the Quint family and it’s all because of your stupid husband!” Master Quint shouted from the other side of the phone. Darcy moved the phone away and looked slightly irritated. “Grandfather, the Quint family is in this situation because you are greedy. I warned Samus but he didn’t listen. Don’t put all the blame on Kaze!” Master Quint did not expect Darcy to be so protective of Kaze, which infuriated him even more. “Not his fault? The Internet is filled with rumors he released and he’s fanning the flames! Otherwise, this wouldn’t collapse on us all at once!” Darcy was surprised to find out that Kaze was indeed the one pulling the strings. “Darcy, Deborah was arrested and the Quints have become the joke of the city. What else do you want from us? Your Uncle Rudy has crossed the line but I already scolded him. Do you want to see them jump off the building before you stop? Are you really going to go that far?” Master Quint said sentimentally. Far? If
“Darcy, don’t entertain scam calls anymore.” Kaze tossed the phone back to Darcy and continued, “These kinds of calls will lure you and scam your money. Worse, they might sell you away and you will be gone forever.” “Kaze, that’s Grandfather!” Darcy glared at him. Kaze continued with the same look, “I don’t want you to listen to him. If he recalls his announcement now, when you shoulder the debt, they will release another statement to throw you out of the family again. Besides, I said I will help you build another powerful family and none of the Quints will be able to leech on you.” “That’s not what I am talking about!” Darcy pinched him and glared at him. “You called yourself Daddy in front of Grandfather, what are you thinking?!” Darcy snapped out of it the moment Kaze snatched the phone away. She knew her grandfather was trying to trick her again. Like Kaze said, once she shouldered the debt, they would kick her out once more. She was mad at Kaze for being audacious.
Master Quint and his family were outside Sky Ocean Corporation, causing a scene. He wanted to see Darcy, but the security guards, who were veterans from the Garo Spec Ops Team, stopped them outside. “I am your chairwoman’s grandfather! I want to see her! How dare you stop me? I’ll get you fired!” Master Quint shouted. “Step aside! We are going to see Darcy! You won’t be able to handle the consequences of standing in our way!” “Move! How dare some security guards stop us outside!” The other family members echoed and shouted at the security guards. They looked down on the security guards and showed no respect for them. The veterans were no longer serving the Garo Spec Ops Team but they were trained to carry out difficult missions and tempered by the harshness of the battlefield. Some of them were decorated soldiers as well. The insults and disrespect infuriated them, but they could not do anything because they knew Master Quint and the others were the family of the chai
