"It was the same every day and it was flourishing. In just five years, the Ford Group had expanded to five times the size before he had taken over. The Ford family in South City was only famous in South City at first. However, the Ford Group and the Ford family are well-known around the world. We can't underestimate Sebastian."
"That's right. This person is highly unpredictable. He said he wanted to retire and said that the Ford Group has shrunk in size, but I don't believe it. Instead, I believe that he has other plans."
"I don't believe it either..."
"I also feel that with Sebastian's
personality, he is not the kind of person who would admit defeat so easily." A group of elderly men was discussing it while playing chess by the river in the city.
It so happened that at that moment, Sebastian, who was wearing a hat and sunglasses, passed by the river in the city. He had intended to walk to Aino's school to pick up his daughter, whom he had not met for a week. He unintentionally heard those conversations.

It was true. Nobody would believe it when he truly wanted to retire. In fact, only he knew that he truly wanted to retire. His fortunes, his assets, and the business empire he had built were enough for his children to live comfortably for a few lifetimes.
Sometimes, when he stopped and thought about it, what was he fighting so hard for? Was it not good to just stop for a moment and live a leisurely life? He made so many enemies after fighting with all his might, and these enemies might even put his children and his future generations in danger someday.
As soon as he thought of his children, Sebastian let go of everything. From then on, he simply wanted to keep a low profile. He had to maintain the Ford family's power, but he also wanted to keep an incredibly low profile.
"Baby, what do you think if I resign from being the director of the Ford Group in the near future?" Sebastian asked Aino. He held his daughter’s hand while strolling along the river in the city after picking her up.
The girl suddenly let go of her father's hand and looked at him with great shock." Dad, Dad! Listen to me. You're still young. You’re only in your early forties. It's not time for you to retire yet. You absolutely can’t take a back seat.
