Actually, I didn’t have much greed. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a situation where it was difficult to have greed.

So, until recently, I didn’t really care whether the ambitious vice president was after the Kaisa Group or not. I thought that I only needed to be able to support myself, and now Yeontan and that black panther are there too, I had achieved that goal in abundance. I quickly forgot about the succession dispute and thought I could live well with that money.

But the problem was that it was just my own thoughts. I realized this only after hearing a conversation between the vice president and his secretary at the Kaisa Medical Center a while ago.

(Anyway, the young master is not interested in group work. Vice President…)

(What does that matter? The board of directors thinks of the wolf cub as their successor. As long as he has both eyes open, my position is always in danger. I can’t just bury him somewhere, huh?)

As long as I was alive with my eyes open, the Vice President was someone who could threaten me at any time. Now I suspect that in the original, when Chase pushed Leoruka to the edge, the Vice President might have intervened in some way.

“…That’s how it happened. Originally, I was just going to hug my bankbook and live comfortably.”

So I explained to Chase why I was going into business in earnest, along with the fact that the vice president wouldn’t leave

me alone. I thought that even if I didn’t get involved in the fight for the succession to the Kaisa Group, I needed a means to protect myself and Yeontan. To do that, the profits I made from real estate investments alone seemed insufficient.

“If I run a company that has nothing to do with the Kaiser Group and become independent from the family, won’t the Vice Chairman believe that I have no attachment to Kaiser?”

I thought about it seriously, but Chase’s reaction was not very good.

“You, the manager?”

“…”

“Are you serious?”

“why…”

“How are you going to run the business? By being a genius?”

“no…”

What would I know? Of course, Chase will be in charge of management. Since Chase will be graduating soon anyway, instead of joining the Kaisa Group like in the original, he should get a job at the company I will be creating soon and become a professional manager and a good servant

But for now, he just made excuses and left out any mention of Chase’s future fate

“If I don’t do that, I feel like they’ll come after me and bury me.”

Still, Chase, who had been listening silently, let out a short sigh, perhaps understanding it to some extent.

“Yeah, well, I get what you’re saying”

“Then do you agree?”

“I didn’t say anything like that.”

“Oh, don’t bounce!”

The black panther, who seemed to be quietly nodding, suddenly became talkative again. Chase continued to act expensive even as he wiped the stew off my chin with his fingertips.

“Acquiring a company is a different matter from investing in a movie or research team. It may be better in terms of profit to establish an investment company and make appropriate equity investments. Are you still going to proceed with it?”

Of course we’ll do it. Not me, but Chase. As I nodded confidently, Chase narrowed his eyes and made a displeased expression, as if he could see right through me.

“I’m going to become independent from the Caesar Group. So, what’s next?”

“What’s next? What’s next?”

Next, both of our legs are stretched out and Yeontan and I live happily ever after^[1]The idiom “stretch your legs” means to get up and move around freely. The vice chairman becomes the group leader as he wished, and I leave the family and say goodbye to the vice chairman forever. Where is the next to this perfect ending?

Oh, is that the story? I remembered something I had forgotten, so I added it here and there.

“Okay, Chase will take responsibility for the time being. He’ll do all the work anyway.”

Even without saying anything, I planned to take Chase in until he met a good person and got married. A good person other than Abel Abel just doesn’t seem right to me… It’s not that I’m jealous or anything…

But even though I paid close attention to him, Chase’s expression only distorted as if he was dumbfounded. The answer I got back was also extremely cold.

“Why are you still talking about that? Isn’t it time you stopped worrying about that? Don’t you have to feed that little puppy?”

“Then what’s the problem?”

“Do you know what I mean?”

“You have to tell me! Am I a mind reader?”

“Well…”

I was the one who felt suffocated, but Chase pressed his temples as if he felt even more suffocated. When I asked him what was wrong, he frowned and opened his expensive mouth.

“I understand your intentions, but he will not leave you alone if you keep doing things like that.”

“Why won’t he leave me alone? If I do it without him knowing, then it would have been good, right?”

“How can he not know? From the vice president’s perspective, your very existence is a problem.”

“What? So I just have to sit there and take it and then jump into the ice lake?”

“Why did you suddenly jump into the ice lake?

You drove me to that point! I almost bit my tongue as I was about to scream out involuntarily… Yeah, that was the original story, and I doubt Chase would drive me to that point now. Probably…

“Do you feel like jumping in? Jump into the ice lake?”

There’s a bond that’s built up between us… Right, Black Panther?

“It’ll be cold there even in the middle of summer. Are you okay, puppy?”

“…”

This black panther guy?

I glared at Chase, who smiled faintly and brushed his bangs back. His straight forehead was briefly revealed, but was soon covered by his black hair. I scolded him with my eyes, telling him not to act like a useless model, and Chase raised one eyebrow. I quickly lowered my head and muttered in a timid voice.

“No, that’s… Then what do you want me to do…”

“If you’re going to do something, do it right.”

“Properly?”

How do you do that? I asked, tilting my head. A villainous smile appeared on Chase’s handsome face. It was such a mean expression that I wanted to punch him.

“I have to get the company back from the vice president.”

“Yes, what?”

No. I don’t have to do that… I didn’t have the slightest confidence in getting rid of the vice president who was on the verge of swallowing up the entire Kaisa Group. I didn’t even have the will. All I needed was to be able to eat and live comfortably!

Then, as you said, it would be better to start with your own business. You can start from the outside and grow in size, then gradually eat into the Kaisa Group.

“hey…”

Regardless, Chase started to run alone. It seemed like he was ready to go to war with the vice president. His eyes were gleaming and ominous, so I was worried that he might get hurt…

In the original, there was at least the halo of the Arteon family. Now, we only have one bankbook with money earned from real estate investment, not land speculation… I didn’t know how he had the nerve to do that. He’s so fearless!

“Oh, right. First of all, the takeover comes first. Tell me what the god you received said.”

Fortunately, Chase soon came to his senses. And for some reason, he even showed interest in my magic. Is he going to trust me now that he has a goal? Even though it was a goal that Chase started on his own without asking for my opinion. Still, I felt a little more confident and opened my mouth excitedly

“That’s it. I have a feeling!”

“Oh, this time it’s not a miracle, but a premonition? Isn’t that a bit weak?”

“If you keep interrupting. I won’t talk.”

“Good idea. Don’t say anything”

“…I’ll just do it.”

I guess he didn’t ask to be believed. Chase lifted his chin as if to say something. What do you think of people? I glared at him, feeling slightly annoyed. My voice naturally became husky. “Not doing it?”

“I said I would…”

I cleared my throat and carefully moved my lips as I recalled the company name I had in mind for a while.

“I think Tesati Saga would be good.”

“Tesati? Are you talking about the shipping company?”

“Yes, I heard that it is up for sale. If we acquire that company, we will be able to increase its size by tens of times… maybe even hundreds of times in a year or two.”
