Chapter 350: Williard Ravens Smith

Two days ago, at Miyazaki Mansion;

As usual, the mother and eldest daughter pair were having some meeting with the former Secretary of Human Resources Development (Education Minister) at the mansion.

Upon the bill being passed just a while ago, as the federation is going into divided into two parties within 3 months, the current President placed his entire bets on his semi immortality plan. 

On the other hand, Reisa and her supporters were too busy roping the officials and businessmen into Republican Party way ahead of the time. They placed their bets on gathering votes with benefits…

This former education minister was a person who served the federation for three consecutive terms in the past. However, his critic remarks against Adler's predecessor's actions regarding the privatization of universities and a dozen other things made the current President not to indicate him in the current term when he was reelected.

Right now, Reisa wanted to rope him in as he was still influential, especially from the people of the western continent.

*Buzz* *Buzz*

Kiyumi's mobile phone vibrated. Just as she was about to reject the call, she saw the name displayed on the screen. "Mr. Silver?" 

Thinking that it's going to be an important call, she excused herself and walked away before taking the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Ms. Miyazaki."

"Mr. Silver…"

"I wanted to inform you that Young Master is visiting Ares city to meet your family, day after tomorrow. Ma'am Scarlet and her children were also coming with him specifically to meet your mother. Please make preparations." Silver informed them of Wil's visit, not knowing that Wil only lied to Scarlet and never planned on visiting his fiancée's family. He wanted to give them an excuse and sent them back to Leafway city with Hyori's family while he alone goes to HQ to attend the board meeting.

However, due to Silver's intervention, Wil was now forced to make his lie into truth.

Back to the present;

Everyone checked into the hotel arranged by Kiyumi beforehand. Reisa also called all of her daughters and her ex-husband once again to take the flight right away for the following day's dinner.

At first, Daniel refused the offer as he had a general level meeting at Pregas city in the western continent. However, Reisa threatened him that she will not let him meet her daughter forever if he doesn't listen to her demand as for her, this meeting is extremely important.

Four-star General Daniel, who can be considered as the second most powerful person in the western continent's army, couldn't help but adhere to her demand.

Since it takes 14-18 hours of journey from Pregas to Ares city, he didn't waste time and aboard a private jet right away after mailing his only direct superior, the five-star general and the Supreme Commander of the Western Continent's Military.

The next day morning, like last time, Mia intended to spend some time with Wil and also invite him for breakfast. She knocked on the door to wake him up if he's still asleep. However, this time, the door didn't open no matter how many times she knocked on it.

Making a sad face, she returned to her room. Scarlet, who was enjoying her morning coffee on the bed, saw her expression and asked, "What happened?"

"Big Brother didn't open the door," Mia spoke in a depressed tone.

"I guess he might be too tired from the journey…" Just as her words ended, her phone rang. It's from Silver.

"Yes…" "I see… It's alright?" "Hmm? The city tour. Just a sec…" Covering the mic, Scarlet looked at Mia, "Sweetie, it seems your big brother left early to attend the board meeting at his company and will be back by noon. Silver is asking whether you are interested in a tour around the city."

"Tour?" Mia's eyes lit up instantly. "Sure, mom."

"Go and tell your brother to get ready. We'll go out after having breakfast. We can also shop around a bit…" After passing the instruction to Mia, Scarlet then continued her conversation with Silver.   

Meanwhile, at Scarlet HQ;

Wil stepped down from the vehicle and was received by Storm and Jordon.

As he was too early, only a couple of directors were assembled at the entrance hall. However, most of the Elite employees of the company were summoned and right now, standing uniformly behind them.

The last time he came here, he was full of depression. So, he didn't pay much attention. However, right now, his heart was beating rapidly due to nervousness.

Taking a deep breath, Wil looked at them once again. This time, he treated them as if they were NPCs in the game. Suddenly, all the nervousness disappeared from him.

Only then did he remove the shades showing a confident look in his eyes.

Shaking hands with the directors, Wil then said, "I guess the two of you might have already been informed of the reason for my visit. Regardless, let me say it in person. I'll give you one hour. I need all the board members in the boardroom."

Wil then left with Storm to the Chairman's office which has been empty since the foundation. Yet, it was properly maintained as if the Chairman sits in the office to do the work.

The last time when Wil visited the company, he only practiced Archery and then, participated in a world battle tournament before returning to Yarlford city. So, it's his first time stepping inside this room.

"Young Master, please…" Storm pointed the seat with his hand. On the desk, along with the desktop, there's a nameplate with his name, Williard Ravens Smith, and his designation as the Chairman of the company, on it.

At first, Wil was taken aback to see his maternal surname has been added at the end. When he confronted Storm about it, the latter simply replied that Wil's father, the late Mafia Lord Philip wanted to honor Wil's mother's surname too.

It made him remember the meeting he had with Silver who visited Leafway city, a couple of months ago before his father died. Back then, Silver mentioned how Wil's identity will be revealed as Willard Smith after turning 21 and graduating from college.

However, now that Mafia Lord is dead and the Vulture gang is disbanded, it was no longer necessary for Wil's surname to change. Still, to honor the wishes of Philip, Storm made this nameplate.

Wil also had no problem using this as his full name now that his mother is no longer Scarlet Smith but Scarlet Quilton. So, with this, he can also honor his maternal ancestors.

Wil walked to the desk and took his seat. Storm couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and asked whether he can take the picture, mentioning that how this day is memorable. Later, he sent the photo to Silver who is at the hotel.

After a while, the nine directors along with CEO Storm Woods and President Jordon sat down after Wil taking the Chairman's seat.

"Okay first, let me hear what you all have to say. I wanted to hear the problems in the company directly from your mouths." Leaning forward to the edge of the seat, Wil placed elbows on the table and folded his fingers while looking at the directors that majorly run the company in his absence.
