Chapter 980 Casual Kaze’s words sparked commotion across the banquet hall.

The guests were amazed not because they took him seriously but because of how ridiculous he sounded.

“What is he talking about? Does he really think he can stop a billion worth of investment?” “He’s a patient in the psych ward. I bet he’s going crazy again.” “Ms. Quint, why don’t you bring your husband to the hospital, or have one of the doctors here to check on him? I'm sure there are brain specialists here...” Everyone mocked Kaze and looked at him and Darcy as if they were the

biggest joke.

Darcy felt embarrassed.

“Kaze, stop fooling around!” Darcy tugged Kaze and angrily whispered, “You are on your first day! No one would listen to you!” She knew the call Kaze made was real because Kaze was the CEO of Hudson Investment Firm.

However, Miru clearly told her that Kaze was just the nominal CEO with no authority whatsoever.

A billion worth of investment was huge and it was not something Kaze could cancel with just a call.

Him making the call and canceling it in front of everyone was pure embarrassment.

“Darcy, I'm not messing around. I am in charge of Hudson Investment Firm now,” Kaze said patiently, but Darcy did not believe him.

She rolled her eyes at him and looked away.

Tao noticed the little interaction and curled his lips in disdain. “Ms. Quint, your husband isn’t all useless. He likes to brag and bluff. I'm sure he always embarrasses you.” Darcy did not argue with him this time as she was upset.

“Darcy, send him back and stop embarrassing us here!” Adam said strictly.

He originally planned to threaten Kaze so that Cosmo would be released and returned to the Lees but seeing how

incompetent Kaze was, he believed it was not necessary.

Adam shot a glance at Kaze and said, “After you go back, go to the...” “Mr. Segore! This is bad!” It was then a young woman in professional attire came into the banquet hall hurriedly.

Adam was irritated that someone interrupted him, and so were the other guests.

It was a gathering of elites, not a club that everyone could barge in unannounced.

The woman's unannounced entry annoyed everyone. Tao looked embarrassed because the woman was his secretary.

She was mostly just there to set him off with her looks and maybe charm someone once in a while, yet she embarrassed him in front of Adam and many other veterans in the same field. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Tao bellowed, “Is the world ending? What did I tell you? Even if it’s the end of the world, calm down!” “I'm sorry, Mr. Segore!” the secretary apologized immediately.

“What is it?” Tao casually raised his hand at his secretary and then shot a glance at Darcy.

“Mr. Segore, we just got a phone call from Hudson Investment Firm that our application is denied and we have been blacklisted!”

Tao was stunned on the spot.

He staggered backward and knocked over the vase behind him.

“Mr. Segore, are you okay?!” The secretary went over to him immediately.

“W-What did you say?” Tao asked with a horrified look.

The secretary repeated what she said.

“W-What? H-How?! Why?!” Tao's face turned as pale as paper and he no longer looked nonchalant and casual.
