Living With My Lady Boss - Season 8 Episode 24

Yumi replied, “I know that, of course. I’ve gotten Mister Penn’s help this time to help us turn the tables.”

“I’m sorry, Madam President, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for outsiders to be a part of this,” Syd said.

Yumi shouted at once, “Watch your tone!”

Wilbur merely smiled.

Yet Syd continued, “I understand how you’re feeling, but I’m worried letting an outsider into this might upset the family even more.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Just focus on your job, and do it well,” said Yumi coldly.

Syd said nothing more after that, going back to driving.

Of course, Yumi herself knew that. It was just that with how things were, she had no choice but to ask for help from people outside of her family.

This filled Yumi with worry as well.

Despite being abroad, she knew everything about what was happening in the family every day.

Cyrus had been getting more and more reckless, sending a large number of ninjas into the financial group to check the family accounts using the name of the family’s head.

Anyone who refused to cooperate would be mysteriously killed in the middle of the night, and the entire financial group was fearing for their lives.

If this went on, the Gardners would collapse before other parties even got involved.

Yumi knew as well that this was Cyrus’ way of making her hand her power over.

But that crazy bastard Cyrus would just lead the family to its demise, and there was no way Yumi would feel good about handing the financial group over to him. The thought made Yumi’s head hurt.

Very soon, their car arrived at a courtyard in the city.

With Yumi’s status and power, owning an independent courtyard in the city was hardly difficult.

The car stopped inside, and everyone got out to walk further in.

A huge manmade lake greeted them, the koi fish inside swimming laps around the fake island.

They walked past the lake to rows of houses. These houses were surrounded by

a dozen pine trees, tall enough to block the rays of the son.

Owning a residence so peaceful in the hustle and bustle of the city was not something just about anyone could do.

They arrived at the biggest house in the middle, where a dozen people walked out to bow to Yumi.

Yumi nodded. “Let’s start the meeting now.”

She led Wilbur and the rest into the living room before settling herself down on the tatami mat in a kneeling position.

Wilbur was not really used to sitting like that and sat cross-legged.

Syd and the rest sat down across from Yumi and Wilbur on their knees, bowing.

Yumi said, “I know times are tough now. The people here are the people I trust the most, and I thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s an honor to serve you, Madam President!” the crowd shouted.

Yumi nodded before saying, “This is Mister Penn. He’s a Sanctuary level cultivator

I met in Dasha who had agreed to help us hold the fort. He’ll be our guest of honor from now on.”

The crowd was visibly surprised but still bowed to Wilbur.

Wilbur himself merely smiled.

All the people here were of either beginner or mid Ambience level. Syd was the only peak Ambience level cultivator, as well as Yumi being at the Sanctuary level. This was, unfortunately, all the power Yumi had.

To tell the truth, this combined force was pretty powerful already.

But according to Yumi, Cyrus was of Sanctuary level too, and he had control over a team of hundreds of ninjas.

Yaron was at the Sanctuary level as well, controlling the hidden division of the family.

It was unclear how many people were in his team, but all of them were definitely experts.

Yumi’s power was a far cry from her brothers’.

On top of that, there was also Cain Gardner, the Shadow level head of the family who had lost his mind.

Wilbur was probably somewhere around peak Sanctuary level. With the power that Yumi had under her control, it was truly impossible for her to hold out much longer.
