Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals

“Kaze, you’ve recovered?!”

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.

As part of the extended family, everyone was extremely sensitive toward the position of the heir,

especially Darcy’s father who was the second son.

Deborah’s father was the eldest son, and her family never treated Darcy and her family well. If Master

Quint passed and Deborah was chosen as the heir, then Darcy and her family would suffer.

Looking at the pale looks on his in-laws’ faces, Kaze said, “Grandfather, does it mean that if Darcy gets

the investment, she will also be made a candidate for succession?”

His question silenced everyone.

Pft!

Samus scoffed when he heard the question. “Kaze, are you still a retard or what? Darcy getting the

investment? With what? With you and your retarded brain? Eat your ramen and shut up! I bet after this

meal, you and your family will starve again.”



Deborah lifted her head and looked at Kaze in disdain. “Retard, you might not know since you’ve just

recovered but Darcy and her parents are deep in debt. They are selling whatever they can and

borrowing money everywhere. I wonder if Darcy has to sell herself to put food on the table.

“Oh, I remember it’s Darcy’s birthday as well in three days. We share the same birthday anyway, but

we definitely don’t share the same financial status. She’s living in poverty. Why doesn’t she pick up the

cake that she made and keep it for three days later?”

Everyone laughed. They all looked at Kaze and Darcy scornfully.

The insults made Darcy cry. Sobbing, she said, “Deborah, where is your conscience? You snatched my

company away and put me in charge of your declining company. The debts originally belonged to

you…”

Deborah stopped her immediately and cried, “Darcy, one more word from that mouth of yours and I’ll

slap it off! You are useless, don’t put the blame on me!”

The atmosphere got tense as a catfight almost broke out between the two ladies.

“Enough.”

Master Quint spoke to calm the atmosphere. He then said, “Kaze, if Darcy gets an investment from Sky

High, I will clear her debts and give them back the bonuses from previous years.”

Darcy’s parents, Agnes and Hector Quint, were delighted by Master Quint’s promise.

Ever since Kaze left on Darcy’s wedding night, the family’s annual bonus had been confiscated by

Master Quint, and a few million in total at that.

If they could get the bonuses, then their lives would change for the better.



However, before they could fully embrace that idea, Master Quint added, “But Darcy must also recover

the debt from Pietro Beneli!”

Agnes and Hector were stunned, while the rest were surprised.

Pietro Beneli was a well-known gangster in Lilyrose City.

Other family members tried to recover the debt from him before and they were almost beaten to death.

Master Quint’s request was obviously trying to put Darcy in a difficult situation.

In a panic, Agnes exclaimed, “No, Father! It’s too risky! What if something happens to Darcy? What if

they harm her?”

Deborah then feigned a difficult look and said, “Aunt Agnes, it’s okay if she doesn’t want to go, but you

and your family won’t be able to make a comeback for the rest of your lives.”

Upon hearing Deborah, Darcy and her family turned deathly pale.

Darcy was in a dilemma.

Then, Kaze held her hand and whispered, “Darcy, take the offer.”

What?! Darcy thought she heard him wrong.

She frowned and whispered back, “Kaze, what are you talking about? That’s Pietro Beneli, it’s not

possible to try to recover the debt!”

Kaze confidently said, “Darcy, trust me. Take the offer and I’ll help you recover the debt.”
