At the headquarters of the Takahashi Corporation, Kaito walked into the building as if he owned the place. In a way, as an important shareholder, he did. The security people and reception personnel wanted to stop him, but they could not mess with him.
Regardless of the past occurrences, the man was still from the Takahashi family. Ultimately, no one wanted to have a complicated altercation with the man. Wealthy families always had their internal dramas, so it was best not to get involved.
When Kaito got to the top floor, he did not even nod to the secretaries guarding the CEO's office. He breezed past them and the personal ȧssistant's office before opening the door to Senzo's office without care. His actions were careless and dramatic.
He seemed primed for a fight.
Takahashi Senzo was not alone in the office. He was meeting with some executives from the Stillwater Medical Research Institute. The relationship between the hospital and Takahashi Corporation was quite close.
The research institute often needed customised medical equipment, so they depended on the company for the production. The ȧssociation was quite profitable for both parties, especially when the design was patented.
The Takahashi Corporation would produce the goods in high volumes for sale around the world, and the profits would be split between the two parties. It could be said that the Stillwater Medical Research Institute was partly responsible for the success of the business.
Therefore, when there was a new matter to handle, Takahashi Senzo would meet with the members of the Stillwater board of directors personally. He would also supervise the production of the prototype with care to avoid oversights.
He did not dare to be negligent towards this big giant.
When Kaito burst into the room, Senzo wanted to strangle him. He was aware that the man had managed to escape death and return to Mountain Ridge. However, Kaito had not made a fuss for the few days, so he thought everything would be fine.
Who knew that his good-for-nothing nephew would take action at the most inopportune time?
"Kaito, this is not a place for you to throw a tantrum!" Senzo spoke up.
He looked apologetically at the two executives from the research institute.
"I have shown you something embarrassing." He said. "This is my nephew who grew up outside the family. He does not know the rules of business, so he is a little wild. Please forgive him."
The two executives looked at Kaito with some interest. Even though he looked passionate and unrestrained, they could see that he was a vibrant young man. As people who were often in hospital within Mountain Ridge, they had come into contact with a lot of second-generation heirs who had gone astray.
However, these were thoughts in their mind. They would not say anything out aloud. If it were not for the sake of keeping up a good relationship, they would not have wanted to come to Takahashi Corporation in the first place. It was a waste of their time.
"It is good for young people to be a little more daring." The middle-aged female executive spoke up first. "Your nephew reminds me of my wild son. It is refreshing to see a vibrant soul."
Senzo was a little annoyed by this response, but he maintained a smile. He wanted the two executives to take Kaito down a little so that he could blame him for affecting business matters. It never hurt to have more suppressive materials against an enemy.
"You should handle your personal matters first, Chairman Takahashi." The male executive said. "We have already taken a lot of your time. We look forward to the delivery of the prototype."
The two people stood up and left the office quickly. They did not want to be drawn into more inane chats that did not contribute to the hospital's bottom line. The design for the item had already been submitted, and a contract was signed.
They did not understand why they still had to deal with Senzo.
"How will you repay the losses if the profits of the business are affected?" Senzo asked with a dark face.
"From what I saw, those two people could not wait to leave this place." Kaito laughed. "Are you the kind of person who holds a meeting even when you could have sent an email?"
Senzo felt indescribably angry. He had heard a few comments about this from some of his employees. He was a little old-fashioned, so he liked looking into people's faces while listening to reports or handing out ȧssignments.
"What do you want?" Senzo asked.
"Did you ȧssume that I would let it go after you tried to have me killed?" Kaito asked with darkened eyes.
Senzo's heart skipped a beat with apprehension. Even if he treated his nephew casually, he was also aware of his abilities. If Kaito got serious, it was likely that Senzo would come out on the losing end. However, the thought of bowing his head to the younger generation was unimaginable.
"Aren't you here and well?" He retorted.
"That is evidence of my power. It does not make your actions any less grave." Kaito's devious smile was a promise of a dark future.
"What do you want?" Senzo asked.
Kaito sat down on one of the chairs in the office. "After my unfortunate situation, I discovered a lot of interesting things. You should know the steps you took, so I think you understand what I mean. I must say, it feels good to know your agenda."
"What do you want?" Senzo repeated with gritted teeth.
"I do not want much. Just what I am owed." Kaito smiled.
Senzo remembered Kaito's parents and their death, and a cold sensation crawled up his back. He shook off the feeling.
"I do not owe you anything." He said.
"Don't be quick to say that. Perhaps, I have the thing that you dėsɨrė most." Kaito smiled.
"What do you mean?" Senzo's heart rate became faster.
"Think of what the Takahashi family owes me with care, and then, we can talk like civilised businesspeople."
