I Am Not A Fool Chapter 116
"You take it easy, Anna, nothing will go wrong with the company, us." Dakota calmed her down.Actually, it was never part of his mind when he started the company because he didn't think that there would be big companies that would be disturbed by them while they were still in the process of growing, even though they were already engaged in everything big.What Dakota anticipated were smaller companies that might attack them, but instead, their company was threatened by a company that was bigger and more recognised than theirs.Anna's breathing sounded ragged at the other end. "How can I calm down, Dek?" she said, somewhat frustrated.Company matters were obviously something Anna was very concerned about, as most of the Company was controlled by her while Dakota only took care of the essential parts. She felt like she bore more responsibility than Dakota, and that burden made her quite depressed as she had yet to see a resolution; her head could not find a solution other than to step b

"Who exactly is this man? Why did he make Mr. John suddenly retreat? He was so eager to finish him off." The stranger's mind stares at Dakota with confused eyes while his heart beats violently in shock after receiving a call from his master earlier."Didn't you hear? I told you to get out of there." Dakota looked at him coldly.The man paused, giving him an annoyed look. He didn't answer and quickly got out of there, walking towards his car.Dakota rested his hand on the frame of him half-open car door. "You have to be careful, because if you take the wrong action, you'll be in big trouble," Dakota said, having read what the man was thinking.The stranger grunted, ignoring Dakota's words, and got into his car and drove away.Dakota averted his gaze from them, then raised his hand and called for the guard to come over to him.The two men who were guarding earlier immediately came to him and stood nearby. Dakota pointed at the strange man's car, and since the man had only moved out of t

"What happened?" Dakota woke up panting from his sleep. He had just seen something bad in his dream.Dakota turned his head towards the window of his room and saw the sun was still slowly moving up at the other end. He quickly got out of bed and looked for his phone.His finger tapped a contact on his call. "Are you okay, sir, James?" asked Dakota once their call was connected."Yes, I'm fine, Dakota." The voice answered calmly and a little cheerfully.On the other hand, Dakota looked upset. He wasn't calm at all, his face was hardened and slightly sweaty even though it was early morning and the air was still quite cold.He looked out the window again. "Do you have any outside events today?""Yes, I'm going out of town for a few days." The man replied.It was him!Dakota froze in place. "I'll be coming with you, so can it wait until I get there?" He quickly walked towards the bathroom.James was silent momentarily, confused at Dakota's attitude that suddenly sounded frantic and urgent

"Who is he?" The bespectacled man's mind stares towards the entrance as Dakota and James arrive. "Why did he get in with Mr. James? Shouldn't the one accompanying Mr. James be Ray? Where is that man?" he watched them silently.The man sitting on the left side in the tartan-patterned vest stared casually. "Did Mr. James change his servant? But that's not possible. Ray is a servant of great ability, so he has no reason to be replaced unless Ray resigns. But even that is unlikely." He straightened his seat as James was about to arrive."Welcome, sir James. How are you today?" The man who sat closest to him and looked the oldest of all except James greeted him politely and kindly.James took a quick glance at him, then looked away. "Enough with the pleasantries. There are more important things to discuss than asking how I am." He replied curtly.Dakota stood beside James, as someone had already pulled up a chair in the main section for James.James opened the paper report on the table, hi

"Stop talking nonsense. You obviously don't know anything." He gave Dakota a dismissive look.The man disliked Dakota from the start. Ever since Dakota came in, the man had a bad feeling but felt uneasy and agitated.The man's jaw hardened, and he stared at Dakota fixedly. He was not going to be swayed and provoked by Dakota, whom he didn't even know and know the answer to. "Even for the business agreement you are talking about, the divisions and even the leaders of this company already know about it all." he snorted, with the most dismissive look on Dakota's face.He was determined to humiliate Dakota since Dakota made him the topic of conversation. The people sitting there started looking at him with doubtful glances and whispering with the people beside her.They were obviously starting to take issue with it. It was easy to create doubts and waver on trust in a company. Especially the higher-ups who of course have businesses that are not clearly exposed, they have things hidden beh

"You can see." Dakota also thrust the books into the centre of the table, drawing people's attention to him.The people who came to this place with different purposes did the same thing, looking at the book's contents.The man, wearing a tartan-patterned vest, frowned after seeing what had appeared and been written there. He found that some of the data seemed odd to what should have been written there.The man then raised his face to look at the man in black. "What is this? Why is the data written like this?" He looked at the man in surprise.The man who looked the youngest of them snorted with laughter at the sight. "He's obviously playing dirty. How could he do it like this?" The man chuckled, looking at the black-clothed man with narrowed eyes.Dakota lifted his face from the book. From what he heard the young man say, he knew that other forms of cheating were happening within the company."Asshole, does this mean that my job will end here?" The man stared frantically while mutteri

"Isn't he the man my aide told me about?" The man thought to himself as he watched Dakota standing near James. "What is that man doing here with Mr. James? Very suspicious?"Behind Brown's smile at James, he was watching Dakota closely. Recently, he had gotten a report from his aide about a young man who was close to James.Brown recognized the man mentioned as Dakota, but more than that, he did not know about Dakota's status as what was near James. Therefore, he became anxious and suspicious.Dakota glimpsed at him calmly. He listened to the confusion in the man's head, and it helped him to act.Dakota's hand closed as he leaned closer to James' ear. "Sir, there is something else you must do. We must leave immediately, sir." Dakota took the initiative to lead James away from the man.Dakota acted as James' servant again quickly to divert the man's suspicion of him.James was a bit confused. Without taking his eyes off Dakota, he quickly nodded, being sure Dakota must have a reason fo

"Please, sir." Ray opened the car door for Dakota.With his eyes hardly open, Dakota walked with lazy steps into the car. He didn't say much throughout their journey.Occasionally, Dakota closed his eyes while checking out the window to see if they had arrived. But their journey seemed to be quite long. She woke up so early because Ray told him, they would be leaving early tomorrow night.Ray, who was sitting in the front, turned to him. "We're here, sir."Dakota opened his eyes and then looked outside. Only then did he open his car door just before Ray opened his. He looked at the spacious building in front of him."Come with me, sir." Ray escorted Dakota into the shooting range.Behind Ray, Dakota watched the crowded place as they stopped at the receptionist. Ray took out his membership card and showed it to the clerk there.Ray usually practiced at a different place than where the O'Connor family practiced shooting. So he wasn't recognized there, especially since none of the O'Conn

"What is this? Why is the news like this?" the aunt stared at the screen dumbfounded.The news they prepared and presented to the media to attack Dakota suddenly turned around and attacked them. Moreover, the news exposed their family's confidential matters."It is known that the family of the O'connor family heir's adoptive father before returning to the O'connor family treated the heir with bad manners." The man presenting the news spoke loudly with the news. "They took the money from her father's death insurance without giving any of the money left to Dakota."They were dumbfounded, looking at each other. Not understanding how it could have happened. They had no idea that news about themselves would be exposed to the media. They weren't necessary, so they didn't think the press would target them."How did they find out about that?" They were stunned. Even Dakota didn't know about her adoptive father's insurance, and his will wasn't read in front of her. She hadn't received any supp

"What the hell is Dakota doing to us?" Said the uncle, who was currently on the side of the road not far from Dakota's company.They were all forcibly evicted by the security guards and threatened to be reported to the authorities if they were still there. So, with the people forced to leave, they looked disgruntled and upset."I don't accept what he did to us." The aunt coaxing Dakota with her sweet words now showed her true face. "She can't just kick us out."The people strolling and blocking the other pedestrians seemed to be very indifferent to the other people. They walked and stopped, walked and stopped again without caring.There were three women and two men, but none cared about Dakota.The woman who had blonde hair and looked younger than them looked at her brothers with a similar look on her face. "He can't be allowed. We must teach Dakota a lesson." The woman privatized hi,."Lesson?" The woman who approached Dakota earlier turned his attention to the woman. "What do you me

"Dakota, you're such a joker." The woman, whose face looked shocked a moment ago, now turned soft. She chuckled while patting Dakota's arm.But Dakota had a different expression. He ignored what the woman was doing and just glanced at her with her gaze looking down because they were quite short and too close to her.The woman touched Dakota's hand like she was used to doing that every time she met Dakota. She didn't seem awkward at all, even though to Dakota, what she was doing was a nuisance.The woman's eyes widened, and with her face as friendly as possible, she spoke, "You are very easy to joke with. I can tell that you're a good person." She complimented Dakota, flicking her gaze towards the others, and the men greeted the woman's words with pitched exclamations. "After all, we're the ones who took care of you when you were little. If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be in this place right now." She spoke with pride."That's right!" The others exclaimed. "We are the family that too

"I told you to let me in!" Snapped the man, Dakota's uncle, while Dakota's status was unknown.Because the news about Dakota circulated across the country and appeared in the newspapers, people who recognized Dakota recognized Dakota's picture, which was only taken briefly because the O'Connor family still guarded his identity.But for people who intersect with her, of course, Dakota's silhouette is so easy for them to recognize. Therefore, the uncle is currently in the leading company owned by the O'Connor family to find Dakota."Sorry, but you can't come in." The guard at the building's main door blocked his uncle Dakota's attempt to break in.Since they were so insistent on getting in, they seemed normal at first. But when asked what their purpose was and if they had made a schedule to meet, the people, instead of answering argued to be allowed to enter.The man with slightly bleached hair near his ears brushed off the guard's hand. "I told you I was his uncle! Didn't you hear me?"

"How could this be Dakota?" The voice of a woman in the crowd on the street, staring at the street billboard that showed an announcement about Dakota.The woman stared wide-eyed at Dakota's appearance, which had changed 180 degrees from the Dakota she once recognized. The woman tightly clenched her hand that held her bag tightly, her eyes did not move from where they were, listening to the news being aired all over the country.She was Gea, the woman who rejected Dakota's love five times because Dakota was just a poor man. Gea used to really dislike Dakota because of Dakota's poor status. She was upset that a poor man like Dakota dared to like someone like her.But now, Gea seemed frustrated to know the truth. "I should have just accepted it back then." She regretted it. "If I was with him, my life wouldn't have been possible like it is today."She grumbled in annoyance, her past suddenly came back into her head, she remembered the figure of Dakota who used to like her but she rejecte

"I heard that there are many guests coming today." A glamorous woman in a dress cut low on the chest spoke to a man before her.The man nodded. "Yes. I saw from the guest list that the guests invited by them are three times more than the guests they usually invite." The classic-looking man responded.Many people dressed in luxurious clothes in the ballroom of the residence occupied by the O'Connor family as one of their leisure homes.They wore hand oes, clothes, and jewelry from world designers with limited items. They seemed to enjoy the party even though the main event had not started.Their conversations varied, ranging from simple greetings by those who rarely met because they had their own busy schedules, talking about business and what was trending among the upper-class people, to talking about their respective lifestyles as show-offs."Almost everyone who comes to this place is critical." In the middle of the party, the other guests were observing the guests.The woman with br

"I got a lot done today." Dakota stretches his shoulders in the spinning chair before the computer screen.A few days ago, James had given him various assignments that suddenly became jobs he had to take care of and learn about.Starting with learning about their family tree, the company run by their family, and the people involved with their family, all Dakota learned because of James' orders to him.James wanted Dakota to know that as a basis, then after he understood it, James made Dakota tour each of their subsidiaries, but Dakota was there to accompany him and look around.For a whole week, Dakota's schedule was packed with things James had in mind after observing him. Dakota still remembers that just when he thought his schedule was over, James said, "It's time to introduce you to the public. You've prepared everything you need to know, and now it's time for you to emerge as the heir of the O'Connor family.""I have prepared the guest list. Mr. James said you need to look at it

"Hands off!" she snapped at the officer loudly. "What are you doing?" he looked panicked and worriedly at Dakota. "Sorry I came late, sir."All of them looked shocked and couldn't believe what they saw, especially the manager and the security guard, who recognized the man with the cane as their senior officer in the mall. The man was the highest leader of their branch mall. He was the managing director.The manager looked nervous. He read the situation and tried to realize what was happening. "Mr. Director, what are you doing here?" he looked confused. "Don't you have an important meeting today? Why can't you?" Those questions came to mind.As he said them one by one, he was like getting the scattered puzzle pieces and being able to put them together clearly, then his face turned anxious and panicked looking at Dakota.He looked at Dakota with a fierce look. "No way, so he owns this mall, like he said? he's not lying?" the man thought to himself.Dakota glanced at him with a slight sn

"Come to the watchdog room section. Some people are giving me a hard time in this place," Dakota said right after their call was connected."You're currently at the mall, sir?" the voice on the other end sounded panicked. Without giving Dakota a chance to answer his question, he spoke again, "Yes, sir, I'll be right there." He ended their phone call. He ended their phone call.Dakota contacted one of the highest-ranking staff in the mall. It was true that Dakota did have the largest share there. But he did not run it and take a position as one of the board of directors there because his work was already too much, and he just wanted to take his profit opportunities.Being an investor for them was much more flexible because he couldn't divide his time while he had a lot of work.As their call ended, the woman looked at him with a laugh. "What are you doing? Who did you call?" She chuckled. She really couldn't believe that Dakota was the one who owned such a big mall.Even being one of t
