Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals novel Chapter 3

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.
