Chapter 504 - LETTING GO (2/2)

”I do not need to hurt two brats to get back my company. I am an experienced businessman with countless tools to deal with them. You can rest ȧssured.” Senzo said.

He did not reveal that he could not kill Kaito even though he wanted to do so. He also did not say that he had already taken action against Kaito and failed miserably. Moreover, it seemed like Kaito had taken in Hajime as a protégé.

He would probably not succeed if he tried to take shady actions against either of them. However, he did not believe that he could not use his business skills to get his company back. And when he did, he would make sure that the two were left with nothing.

Elder Takahashi sighed. ”I hope that is the case.”

As the old man left the building, he felt a cold breeze on his face. He looked at the dark sky and wondered why he was trying so hard to get the company back in his grasp. He was already an old man with just a few more good years.

Why did he want to waste them working?

Perhaps, he was just trying to fulfil a faraway dream. He had been made to give up on his position unwillingly. He was forced out before he was ready to move on. Therefore, he had made it his mission to get back to everything from Senzo.

But in the end, he could not do it.

He lost to his grandchildren. Even his crafty eldest son lost to them too. A bittersweet smile formed on his old face. The new generation of the Takahashi family was better than the former. He could live with knowing that his bloodline was strong.

His chauffeur opened the door to his vehicle. He stepped in with a little more cheer as he felt himself shedding the weight on his shoulders. For now, all he needed to do was accompany his wife and live a good life.

”Thank you, Brother.” He said.

Kaito patted the younger man on his back. ”You did well over the last few months. Otherwise, it would be harder for you to take control of the company.”

Hajime was a businessman with potential. While Kaito was absent, he had managed to get most of the important people in the corporation on his side. Therefore, it would not be hard for him to take over as the CEO.

Even though he still needed to grow, his excellence was obvious. He had also learned a lot from Elder Yamazaki and his father, in addition to Kaito. As long as nothing went wrong, he would become a formidable leader.

”Are we letting Senzo go just like that?” Hajime asked after a long moment.

He was happy to grab the company from his uncle, but he did not feel like he had achieved the revenge he was looking for. He knew that his father was poisoned and killed by his uncle. He could not feel at peace when he thought about Senzo roaming free.

Ultimately, if Takahashi Senzo wanted to live a good life, he could, even without having the corporation. To Hajime, this punishment was not enough.

”Do not worry about that,” Kaito responded. ”Right now, you only need to focus on stabilising your position in the company. I will take care of the other things.”

Hajime wanted to ask more about Kaito's plan, but he decided not to. He needed to trust his cousin. If someone could destroy Senzo, it was Kaito.

”Let me know if there is something I can do,” Hajime said. ”You should be home with Akira.”

Kaito pulled Hajime's ear tightly. ”Call her sister-in-law.”

Hajime escaped from Kaito's clutches. ”You are not yet married, and we are the same age. I am not going to call her sister-in-law.”

Actually, he had already accepted Akira as his sister-in-law, but he liked the way Kaito became annoyed when he called her by her name. His crush was short and fleeting, so he let it go after finding out that she was Kaito's girlfriend.

The sense of loss was not too much.

”Keep talking like that, and you will not be invited to the wedding,” Kaito said.

”Akira already promised I can come,” Hajime responded with a laugh.

Kaito could only growl with annoyance.
