His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

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 lap 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 assassin 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. 

"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 assured." 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. 

In the conference room, Kaito and Hajime sent off the people in the meeting room with reassurances about the future of the company. Once they were gone, Hajime looked at Kaito with hero-worship in his eyes.

"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.
