Chapter 504 - LETTING GO (1/2)

Senzo caught up with his father at the elevators. He looked at him with his superior smile, even though he also came out as a loser during the meeting. For Senzo, the loss of his position in the company did not mean much, and he was already thinking about his comeback.

However, he thought his father's situation was even more hilarious.

How could the old man think that Kaito was altruistic enough to hand over the position of chairman after getting his hands on his parents' shares? Did he think that Kaito thought of him as his actual grandfather?

They had discussed Kaito countless times during the short period they were on the same side. They had agreed on one thing: Kaito could not be trusted because he did not have an attachment to the Takahashi family and his blood relatives.

Furthermore, Kaito was probably not raised in a good environment as an orphan. He most likely suffered a lot of injustice outside. He would obviously not be kind and warm to his family members who grew up in the ŀȧp of luxury.

In Senzo's opinion, Kaito was a callous person just like him. And from the information Senzo managed to gather, he was a predator. He had curved himself a path as an ȧssassin and a businessman in the country and beyond.

That is why he was amused by the elder thinking that Kaito was going to give him power over the company on a silver platter.

”You should give up on your dreams of returning to the company, father.” He said with a laugh. ”You are clearly senile.”

Elder Takahashi became even angrier. He thought that the entire room would vote for him to return as the chairman. He had already consulted all of them in private before the meeting and subtly hinted that he would give them benefits once he made a comeback.

Naturally, he did not bother with his daughters because he thought that their votes would be a matter of course. They were his children, and he had given them five per cent of his company even though they were married out.

Who knew that the entire room would directly vote for Kaito as the Chairman?

”I am your father. Do you need to keep cursing me?” The old man shouted.

”How am I cursing you?” Senzo asked. ”You would have to be senile to put your faith in that wild boy. Even though you do not know his history, you should have some sense of judgement. He is not someone you can control.”

”If you had come to me with the information, I might have been inclined to help you. But what did you do when you found out that Kaito had finally gotten his hands on those shares? You became delusional and started imagining that you had a future in the corporate world again.”

Senzo laughed again as the two of them stepped into the lift. The old man tried to remain calm even after being thoroughly humiliated in the meeting.

”What do you mean by his history?” He asked.

”Surely, you cannot still be under the impression that Kaito is exactly as he appears?” Senzo asked.

Elder Takahashi knew that Kaito's background was not as it appeared. After all, he was the only one who had seen him as a teenager. And even at that time, he was not an ordinary boy. He was arrogant and self-assured and did not seem like a common person.

Perhaps, his eldest son was right. He was getting senile. He knew that the young man was a wild wolf, but he still dared to rely on his familial affections to gain power in the company. Of course, Kaito would not care about their relationship as grandfather and grandson.

”I am still his grandfather.” He replied weakly.

”And you wonder how I was able to remove you from your position…” Senzo grumbled.

”What do you plan to do?” The old man asked.

”Naturally, I will get what is mine.” The smile on the middle-aged face was bloodthirsty.

”Don't keep piling sins on your head. Even a scourge like you should be afraid of divine retribution. Do not hurt the children.” The old man said seriously.

Even though the Takahashi family was a jungle where the strong took out the weak, he was still a grandfather after all. He had nurtured two wonderful sons, but his eldest son had gotten rid of them. It was a very painful thing for him to bury them.

So, he could not allow the man to cause harm to the children. They might have played him and forced him into an embarrassing situation, but they were his blood. They were the future of the Takahashi family.

He could not live forever. He sighed as he felt incredibly old.
