After the inhumane treatment period and various other events, Zayn no longer cared much about life, death, and sickness.
He was no longer as despondent as he used to be, and he was no longer anxious. Instead, he calmly let nature run its course.
Zayn, who was on the couch, calmly instructed, "Find an instructor who can guide me through the blindness. From tomorrow onward, I'll have to train myself to move around without relying on my sight. That way, I'll have the freedom of movement even if I really go blind in the future."
"Mr. Giblo." Benard's eyes were red from hearing his words, but he dared not say anything else. "I understand. I'll work on it tomorrow."
"About the appointment with Mr. Williams and Mr. Thompson, do separate their appointments. I want to meet them one by one, " Zayn continued, sounding like he was talking about his last words.
"I understand." Benard nodded.
"There's something else." Zayn mulled over it for a while before saying, "Check on Daemon's status."
"Huh?" Benard was surprised.
Zayn and Daemon were archenemies. When news of Daemon's incident spread, there were rumors in the corporate world that Zayn was involved in what happened to Daemon.
Zayn did not care about it, nor did he intervene in it. Nevertheless, he knew that Daemon's trusted subordinates were investigating him in the shadows, hoping to find out if he was involved in Daemon's incident.
Zayn had not been involved. Furthermore, he had been undergoing treatment in solitary, so he never appeared in public. Therefore, no one could find any evidence of his involvement.
However, for him to abruptly look into Daemon's whereabouts might cause an uproar in the corporate world.
"Do everything to find out about Daemon's current status, " Zayn ordered.
"Understood, but I have to ask… Why?"
Benard dared not disobey him, but he could not wrap his mind around why Zayn would do that.
"Have you seen how many people have added insult to injury after Lierger Corporation went downhill?"
Leaning back on the sofa, Zayn lit a cigarette and inhaled it.
"Before anything happened to Daemon, he removed Carla's ties to Lierger Corporation before making arrangement for her and the children. As far as I know, he has been a good and loyal brother to Carla. If he's back unharmed, then Carla and the kids will have someone to back them up. After all, many vultures would be eyeing the assets that they're holding."
"Mr. Giblo, what is the meaning of this?" Benard panicked. "You're still fine. Giblo Group is still all right!"
"If I die, Giblo Group will spiral into chaos, " Zayn quietly said, a hint of sorrow in his tone.
Instantly, Benard's eyes welled up with tears. His lips trembled, and the words died in his throat.
"What happened to Lierger Corporation yesterday will happen to Giblo Group in the future, " Zayn added before taking in a deep breath of his cigarette and slowly huffing it out.
"If Grandpa was alive, perhaps it would have lasted a few more years. However, he is not. If I die, Giblo Group will be orphaned. Most importantly, Carla has not come back yet. Her current identity would not be appropriate for taking over Giblo Group."
"Why don't we…" Benard trailed off, losing all courage to say it out loud.
"All right. You can go back to your work." Zayn wanted some time alone.
"Yes, Sir." Benard hung his head and left.
"How's Mr. Giblo?" Brandy asked in a quiet voice that could not conceal his anxiety. "I came back right after receiving the message. How is he now?"
Benard then pulled him to the side and conveyed Zayn's order to him.
"Is that how serious Mr. Giblo's condition is now?" Brandy was alarmed to hear that. "He's planning for his posthumous matters?"
"Pah!" Benard spat. "B_stard, can't you say anything nicer with that mouth of yours?"
"Wait, but what you've said are…" Brandy dared not repeat himself, but he could not calm himself down. "No. Even if I turn this world upside down, I have to find where Derelo is."
