Chapter 15

Today I have a meeting with Fisk collaborator and there are only two of them, if you count his lawyer Benjamin Donovan I guess that make it three, though he isn't really a member Fisk inner circle since he work for another crime syndicate in Harlem.

There's Leland Owsley, a ruthless financier controlling Fisk's money flow and ensuring that his large profit were almost impossible to trace. He is old guy in his late sixties with fully white hair and wearing glasses. I'm kind of surprised he didn't take the money and ditch but as long he does his job well and don't backstab me, I'll keep him.

Then there's also Robert Sullivan, an ex-marine turned mercenary who works as the head of security for Fisk and sometime do his dirty works. I don't think I ever heard or see him in Daredevil, probably a random to fill the universe.

As I got into the conference room with Vanessa, all eyes were on us as we walk in. They are wearing formal suits compared to Vanessa and me who are wearing casual winter's clothes, after all we're still in February.

Weirdly there isn't any middle chair near the long meeting table, we opted to sit at next to each other with a healthy distance of the three men.

"You're Kenan Kang right? You must have been quite close to Fisk if he gave you everything, but what's your relationship with him?" Leland asked, and of course he is the one who asked, the other two wouldn't care as long they got paid.

What I remember from watching the first season of the show is that Leland always been not one to mince his word and likes to complain.

"I'm his gay lover." I responded with a slight smirk, putting everyone in the room to silence and making them all look at me shocked for a second before realizing it couldn't be true.

The old financier scoffed before he continued his line of questioning.

"Don't you people find it weird that he died two days after he named this kid in his will? And who's this woman anyway? Your hooker?"

I was taken aback by the crude question but not very surprised, Vanessa usually took the look of the raven haired bombshell Jenny when she isn't in her original form and the mutant looked more than fine even under the winter coat. I looked toward Vanessa to see what her reaction is, she didn't visibly react and seemingly didn't care about Leland comment. I gestured with my eyes, asking her if she wanted respond to him and got a no.

"Well, apparently Wilson's mother didn't die of a natural death, and from what I heard from him, he attracted the attention of the wrong people."

In his case, mine.

"As for Vanessa right here, she's my girlfriend and my bodyguard." I responded calmly with a smile.

Seeing Leland about to open his mouth again, I interrupted him. "Before you question her skill, let me tell you that she can snap your neck with just one hand."

Leland closed his mouth, Robert looked skeptic and Benjamin didn't look like cared.

"So… what am I doing here?" I asked trying to speed things up because I didn't to waste time trading jab with the old man.

Leland looked at Robert and gestured him to go first.

The ex-marine cleared his throat before talking. "Most of our men who worked under us left to form their own gang or join another established ones. They took all of our contraband with them." I personally already expected this, so it didn't come out much of a shock and I have no need for them anyway.

"Okay… and?" I asked clearly uninterested.

Leland didn't like that. "And!? Without those guys, we can't make money. We need to bring them to heels."

I can bring them back into the fold but we need to hire more men and guns first." Robert stated with absolute confidence in his voice.

"With the money you inherited and the police who work for you thanks to the ledgers, it shouldn't take too long get back to business as usual." The lawyers chimed in.

Looking at the time, I realized that Elizabeth would soon be here. I decided to makes things clear and wrap things up.

"Let me make things clear. I will not continue Wilson line of works, I plan to make Confederated Global Investments a legal and legit company, and obviously I plan to change its name." I stated and making sure everybody in the room understood me.

"And what kind of company you plan to change to?" Leland snorted and asked mockingly.

"Mister Fisk has already paved the way and should continue his work. I assure that it's very profitable and easy." Donovan said in turn.

"If you guys want to die then feel free to whatever you want. As for me I'm out. I plan to turn this company into a tech company, plan and product has already been made, and all I need is to get the production line ready." I explained calmly, not offended by their skeptic and mocking gaze. I plan to face smack them when Elizabeth come, I leaned from SEVEN that she will come with two big orders.

Yeah, that's right SEVEN was spying on Elizabeth.

Seeing those mocking gaze, Vanessa couldn't help but try to defend me. "Don't look down on him you old coot, he is genius, just like Tony Stark."

I couldn't help but blush hearing that, I doubt I could measure up to even one of Tony's toes.

"Yeah… and I'm as rich as Stark." Leland Owsley said sarcastically.

Vanessa didn't bother to respond to the financier and instead squeezed my hand in reassurance, something that I appreciate greatly while not needing it.

Elizabeth chose this moment to make her grand entrance. Wearing a professional attire of a woman blue marine business suit and a pair of two inch heels, she has an air of dominance and charisma, perfect for a figure head of a company.

"Who is this woman!? How did she get here?" Leland asked looking at every one in the room for the answer.

"Who let you in?" Robert asked calmly.

"Me." I declared, raising questioning glare from the other men present in this room.

"This is Elizabeth Zogolowski, the new CEO of my company." I presented her to the people present.

"As mister Kang already say, I'm Elizabeth and I'm happy to be here." She said with a nod.

Leland looked with serious look toward me and asked. "Does she know?"

He is probably talking about the criminal activity.

"Yes she does." I replied to him lazily.

As she sat herself, Elizabeth stared at other men and she didn't look impressed, it was contrary she looked at them like they were pest.

"I bring good news with me, mister Kang. I consulted with some friends and I received two big commands."

"That fast it's been only a day." I responded with a faked slightly surprised face. "And call me Kenan, mister Kang make me feel old."

"Yes. Details still have to be work over but if the good are genuine they will order a big amount. Qatar is interested in the solar panel and we may get a contract around eighty millions dollars. The British are interested in the wind turbine and we may get a ten millions dollars contract from them." Elizabeth reported, letting a bit excitement out of her voice.

Vanessa and I already knew of this from SEVEN but I still have to act surprised by it, but since I suck at acting, I only make it like I'm slightly surprised.

The other three is probably thinking this is all a jokes or something, but if they think about it they would realize I gain nothing from lying to them.

"What is this, some kind of drama act?" It seemed that Leland didn't take time think before words started to fly out of his mouth.

This guy is starting to hit on my nerves.

I remember that this guy is like Donovan and don't actually work directly under Fisk but for another firm.

"Mister Owsley, now that I think about it. You work for accounting firm I believe and since I plan to make a legal company, I don't really need your service right?" I said with a threatening tone.

"I'm the one who handled all that money, without me it'll be gone." I think he threatened back but it was so weak that I couldn't' tell if it was really one.

"At most you will the money confiscated, but I've a lot of dirt on you, enough to send you to prison for the rest of your life." Or I could just kill him.

"As long you're clear on who's the boss and stop questioning me, you'll still be able to work for me." I told Owsley, after all he's still useful.

The rest of the meeting was actually on how to get the company operation ready at fastest time possible.

While the others were actually working, my thought wandered at my dream of a harem. I was asking myself where to look for my second partner and how to do it.
