Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals

Loud noises of tables and chairs being overturned echoed from the phone.

Draco’s excited voice followed, “Boss, is it really you?! Where have you been!? You’ve been missing for all this time and it almost drove us mad!

“Since your identity is confidential, we are not permitted to locate you without official orders.”

Kaze sighed and said, “I got into some trouble. I’m fine now. I have recovered.”

“Someone tried to harm you? Who is it? Just one word, boss! Me and the guys will raze them to the ground,” Draco said angrily.

“It’s okay,” Kaze replied coldly. He did not want others to be involved in his affair with the Lee family. He must end it with his own hands and his own hands alone.

“I have something that I need you to do. Arrange for Sky High Investment Group to enter Lilyrose by tonight and announce an investment in the city worth ten billion.”

He served in the army for three years. Not only did he lead his men to battle, but he also founded a business empire in another country—the Sky High Investment Group.

He wanted to use his company to help Darcy.

“Yes, sir!” Draco answered vigorously. “Boss, I’ll come to Lilyrose right away. While you were away, domestic and foreign enemies grew restless. I have something I must inform you in person.”

“Alright.”

…

That night, Sky High Investment Group declared its entry to Lilyrose City.

The news exploded and spread across every nook and cranny of the city as everyone knew this would be a great opportunity to reshuffle the city’s power dynamics.

Sky High Investment Group was one of the top companies in the world. They controlled a great amount of funds and specialized in investment.

Any lucky family or company in Lilyrose City that managed to get an investment from Sky High Investment Group would rise to prominence within the city in no time.

On the next day, Kaze was discharged and he made his way to visit the Quint family.

Meanwhile, at the Quint family’s mansion, Master Quint’s seventieth birthday event was being held.

The place was lively and crowded.
