章節 4: Chapter 4: Unknown Penthouse
Ward stood in front of his father who was pacing angrily, "That bitch!" Harold yelled very upset about learning what his contract was, before he looked to Ward, "You let this happen!"
"Me? I did everything you said, every shred of evidence we knew about I took care of, hell I even had Shannon burn down a supply room of files to get rid of the evidence of his x-rays from when he broke his arm as a kid." Ward said
"Well it obvious wasn't enough, but why should I be surprised when it comes to you failing at something." Harold replied causing Ward to frown, before Harold got in his face, and calmed down, "That little bastard can not run my company, I'll take care of it."
"How you can't leave this place, remember?" Ward asked with a frown
"Then you'll handle it. Exactly how I tell you too." Harold frowned
Later, Rand Enterprises
News outlets were in a hall snapping photos of Naruto who stood on the stage beside Ward and Joy, "Thank you all for coming out on this momentous occasion as Rand Enterprises welcomes Nathan Rand to his rightful place in the company that bears his name. Natham will continue the legacy of his father, Wendell, and join us in guiding this great company into the future. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Nathan Rand."
Naruto stepped up to the podium, " it's, uh it's been a long road to get back home. And that's what Rand is to me. Home. My father,
Wendell Rand, instilled in me a love and respect for this company that has never faded. I left here, 12 years old, on a jet with my parents. We never reached our destination. I lost my family in that crash, and I became the lone survivor. I then was rescued by some very brave people, but I wasn't ready to return to all of this, so I traveled learned and experienced a lot of things that I wouldn't have cooped up in New York. Ultimately it taught me the value of life of hard work of never giving up on the things that matter to me. And Rand matters. As CEO of this company I am prepared to help New York City in anyway I can. Thank you for coming out."
Naruto walked off as the reporters called for him to answer their questions "Hey, morning, Megan." Naruto said to his new secretary
"Morning Mr. Rand, your first appointment of the day is here." Megan said
Naruto looked to see Jeri standing there, "Lead the way." Naruto said causing Jeri to scoff and walk toward the office
"Your father's office. Even found his old desk." Jeri said as Naruto walked in looking around, "Now, don't get all weepy on me."
"I'm not, haven't cried in years." Naruto said with a shrug as he looked picked up a photo of his parents
"I can relate." Jeri nodded as she out down some contracts, "Now, what do you say we get to work?"
Naruto nodded and sat down before his eyes blurred around in his head as he read the contracts signing what he needed to
"Word to the wise? Ease into things. For most of these people, you are a hostile takeover." Jeri said
"Sound like you care.' Naruto said looking up to Jeri who scoffed and grabbed her purse
"I'm gonna send a courier to pick up these contracts once you're done." Jeri said
"See ya later Trinity." Naruto waved causing Jeri to shake her head and leave, before in a flash of speed all the contracts were read and signed
Board Meeting
Ward was in a meeting with Joy and the board trying to get it over with quickly before Naruto arrived, "Twelve million people are currently infected with leishmaniasis in roughly 98 countries, this anti-parasitic antimonial will have far-reaching effects. There are approximately two million people infected with this disease. This will hit market in Asia, Africa, South and Central America, even Eastern Europe. These are all possible customers. Which means we can make this in bulk, making the production price less than $5 a pill. So, we can sell for $50 per dosage. It'll fund new research and give a nice boost to our profit margin in the pharmaceutical division."
"Exactly how many people die from leishmaniasis?" Naruto asked standing at the back of the room causing everyone to look at him in shock wondering how he snuck in
"If left untreated, latest numbers show roughly 50,000 a year." Ward answered
"Hn. We will sell at cost." Naruto said
"Hey, that's that's not how it works." Ward frowned causing Narito to raise an eyebrow before a bored member spoke
"Please, Mr. Rand. We know how to do this. The World Health Organization will make most of the purchases and subsidize it for Third World countries. No one who needs this will be left untreated."
"Really? Then we will give out to third world countries for free then." Naruto said causing everyone to frown, "Now that that is over with I
want records of every deal, and project Rand has been a part of since my fathers death including where every penny has been invested."
"Any reason why?" Ward asked with a frown
"Just curious as to what my company has been up to." Naruto smirked before he headed for the door when a board member stood
"Mr. Rand can we spea-"
"No." Naruto said continuing on and opening the door, "You don't like the changes that are going to be made here at Rand Enterprisis you are more than free to quit."
Everyone watched as Naruto closed the door and walked off Later
Naruto was speed reading through the files and paused as his phone vibrated and he saw he had a text from Jessica telling him that she and Trish made it to the private rehab facility on some luxurious island somewhere, before looked up when just as Joy appeared in the threshold, "Hey." he greeted
"Hey. Way to make sure your presence was felt earlier." Joy said walking in and sitting in front of the desk
"Did you expect anything else?" Naruto asked looking up at Joy
"No, you never were the type to censor yourself." Joy said as Naruto smirked and looked back at the paper, "I'm sorry."
Naruto paused and looked up at Joy with a raised eyebrow, "For?"
"For the contract. I know it was wrong of us to do that to you, and I'm really sorry." Joy said as Naruto looked at her for a moment before he got up and walked over to her looking in her eyes before he hugged her, causing her to smile and return the hug
"I forgive you." Naruto replied causing Joy's smile to widen as she tightened the hug, before Naruto pulled away and was about to speak when Megan knocked on the door
"Mr. Rand, there is a woman here to see you. She says she knows you." Megan said before a beautiful woman appeared behind Megan causing Naruto's eyes to widen
"Elektra?" Naruto asked as Elektra walked up to him
"One and only." Elektra said before she grabbed Naruto's tye and yanked him forward into a kiss causing Joy, and Megan to look on in shock, and jealousy before the two pulled away after a moment,
"What're you doing here?" Naruto asked
"I've missed you." Elektra shrugged as Naruto smirked before he motioned over to Joy
"This is Joy Meachum, Joy meet my partner in crime Elektra Natchios."
"Nice to meet you." Joy said shaking Elektra's hand, "Megan and I will give you guys a minute."
Joy quickly lead Megan out and closed the door behind her, as Elektra sat on the desk, "So what brings you by?" Naruto asked looking at her
"I have a meeting and thought I pop by." Elektra said looking at Naruto as he walked over to his backpack, "I talked to Nat, she told me of your run in with a green giant."
Naruto walked over with a bottle of Mezcal Tequila and handed it to Elektra, "Yeah, it was fun."
Naruto then flashed around the office and cleaned up all the work he had laying around, "She also told me about you giving her this."
Naruto looked over to Elektra who was showing off her palm that held a dark crescent moon mark, "Well she has the other half of that power." Naruto smirked
"Why wouldn't you give it all to me?" Elektra asked
"I told the both of you, I wouldn't play favorites. I taught you both the same things in different ways. You fit the Yin seal perfectly and with the Sharingan it helped you manifest it made sense. You have the memories of the best Sharingan user a countepart of my home world has ever seen. While Natasha has the memories of the only man to ever fight on equal footing with him. I made sure of that when I traveled there and killed both of them at the height of their strength. What you do with those memories is all on you."
"So she doesn't have these?" Elektra asked showing off her Sharingan
"No, she has a Byakugan and I tweaked it enough so that when she masters it she can level it up." Naruto said sitting down, "I met my counterpart and he says he'll be arriving here at some unprecedented time, and I want the both of you to be prepared."
Elektra nodded as Naruto sat back with a sigh "Hows the blind old guy?" Naruto asked
"Still pissed at you for not joining the Chaste." Elektra shrugged before she sat in his lap, "Speaking of, I managed to get my hands on a member of the Hand, and while forcing my way into his mind, I learned that the Hand has infested your fathers company."
Naruto frowned, "Excuse me?" he asked
"Yes he ddidn't know a lot just that the Hand helped a man become CEO of Rand and in return they would use the corporation to further their plans here in New York."
Naruto's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Thank you for telling me this." he said getting a nod from Elektra, "What do you need me to help with?"
Elektra smirked, "A long time ago, before he died, my father did business with the Roxxon Corporation." she said
"Roxxon?" Naruto asked raising an eyebrow
"Energy, cleaning supplies, macaroni and cheese. Child labor, slave trade. They have their fingers in everything. I believe it's called diversification. And thanks to my father's shitty investments, they hold most of his wealth. I have a meeting tomorrow with the board at the Yakatomi Building. I want my money back and I want to see exactly what the Hand is up too."
"I'm in." Naruto smirked which was returned by Elektra
"I knew you would be." Elektra said standing up, "So how do you suppose we kill time till my meeting in 15 hours?"
Naruto's smirk widened considerably Elektra's Penthouse
Spider web cracks appeared when Elektra crashed into the wall as she pulled Naruto into a lustful kiss as she ripped his shirt for his shoulders as he squeezed her ass possessively before pulling her black leather jeans down, and in a small flicker of lightning Elektra was turned around as Naruto entered her for behind causing her to moan while she looked over as he laid his head on her shoulder and gripped her neck causing her to smile
The greek assassin, and blonde dimension hopping god/adventurer meet in an open mouth kiss as Naruto fucked Elektra thoroughly and possessively
Later, Yakatomi Building
Elektra walked into the meeting to see everyone waiting for her, "Ms. Natchios, good afternoon." a man said
"Good afternoon." Ekektra greeted shaking his hand before she looked to the other men who were about to stand up, "You can sit."
Everyone watched a bit put off how Elektra walked to the head of the table before walking to the bar, "We hope you know how valuable your business is to the Roxxon Corporation." she said as Elektra nodded as before the man motioned to another man that was standing by, "This is Stan Gibson. He's the money man for our Japanese arm. So, he'll have the answers you're looking for. Whether or not he can put them in terms you'll understand is another matter." the man laughed
"Well let's all prepare to be dazzled, shall we?" Elektra said with a fake chuckle before she sat down, "'Now I'm sure you all have places to be, things to do. With your wives, your mistresses but I have questions.", the amusment left the room, "This subsidiary, what is it exactly?"
"A medical company." Stan said simply
"And they do?" Elektra asked as he pulled out her pen
"Studies." Stan said
"How specific." Elektra said
"Research for pain relievers, treatments for diseases. The names of which I mostly can't pronounce." Stan replied
"How do you determine your acquisitions?" Elektra asked
"Well," Stan was about to speak when phones began to ring, "Excuse me."
The mem all answered their phones and began to mutter in japanese, "There's an issue with our server."
"Someone has hacked into the server." another man said "Possibly internal, we don't know yet, security is looking into it."
"If it's an external threat, I'm sure they can trace the IP address and deal with the "problem" face-to-face."
"But I'm more concerned about what information they can pull from Roxxon's system when it is offline."
The men all frowned and looked to Elektra who was waiting patiently, "I'm terribly sorry, something has come up. Could we reconvene at another time?"
Elektra shrugged and gathered her things, "Absolutely. Thank you." she said standing up
"I'll have someone escort you downstairs." the man said getting a nod from the woman
"Thank you. In this city a girl needs all the help she can get." Elektra said before she was escorted off the premises and walked off into an alleyway before she jumped into the air and turned into a black streak with a small cloud of dust picking up under her
Meanwhile
Naruto and Joy were walking home after work, "So Elektra is she your..."
"It's complicated." Naruto smiled as Joy looked at him,
"What's complicated about it, if your a playboy own it." Joy said
"I've been with a lot of women when I was away, and some of them were just flings and while they were fun Elektra was someone that I actually bonded with, it wasn't meaningless sex like a fling or something, she understood me and I was able to share things about myself that tend to keep close to the chest. I don't know what you'd
label it, but I would do anything for her and I know she'd do the same for me." Naruto smiled
"Sounds beautiful." Joy said a bit jealous
"Think so?" Naruto asked getting a nod from Joy,
"Yeah, I haven't been so lucky with men, something about strong independent women makes men afraid." Joy said before Naruto wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his side,
"Well I'm not scared of anything." Naruto replied as Joy smiled before the two turned the corner and paused as 6 asain men stood in their way
"Joy Meachum, come with us." a man said as the men all pulled out tomahawk
Naruto retrieved his arm from Joy and walked in from of her looking at the men, "She's not going anywhere with you." he said and quickly a man ran forward, and Naruto had Joy stand back as he ducked a wild swing of a tomahawk and grabbed the man's throat as he stood up and tossed the man clear across the street into a store
The men along with Joy looked at Naruto in shock, at the show of strength, before he charged forward and gave an uppercut to man2 who blacked out, before he parried the tomahawk strike from man3 and with a step forward he wrapped his arm around the man's neck and put him in the path of man4 and man5's tomahawks causing them to kill man3 whose corpse was kicked into them as Naruto stepped back as man6 tried to hack him to death, and while his arm was still outstretched Naruto grabbed man6 wrist and flipped him over before stomping on his face
Naruto then ducked down and punched man4 in the gut and elbowed man5 in the ribs before he jumped and lashed out both his legs kicking the man in the face before with a sharp twist of his hips
he kicked them again sending them to the ground along with himself before he kicked up to his feet
"You okay?" Naruto asked looking at Joy who nodded, as Naruto walked up to her, "Lets go."
Naruto lead Joy away With Colleen
Colleen was laying on the ground a blood stain on her tracksuit and her knuckles, when there was a knock at the door, and she stood up to see Naruto, and Joy, "Hey." Colleen grertef
"Hey, you've been busy." Naruto said looking at the blood stain,
"No, its,"
"I saw the video on the internet, we'll talk about it later, but I need you to keep my friend company." Naruto said looking to Joy, "Joy Meachum, meet Colleen Wing."
"Hi." Colleen waved as Joy looked around the dojo "Hey."
"I need to go have a talk with the triad." Naruto said causing Joy and Colleen to raise an eyebrow
"What, why?" Joy asked
"Because they could just send more people after you, and unless you want to live in fear then I need to handle this." Naruto said before Colleen walked forward with her phone,
"This is the Golden Sands you're looking for. It's a front for the Yangshi Gongsi, the Yang Clan Company." Colleen replied
"Thanks I'll be back." Naruto said looking at Joy
"Be careful." Joy said getting a wink from Naruto who left
Soon as Naruto was out of view he sped off, to the Golden Sands restaurant and walked in, looking around before an middle age man walked up to him, "I'm sorry, we're closed."
"I need to speak to the head of the Yangshi Gongsi." Naruto said ignoring the men who stood up and backed up the man
"I am Yang Hai-Qing head of the Yangshi Gongsi. And you are?" Yang asked
"Nathan Rand." Naruto said
"Of Rand Enterprises?" Yang asked raising an eyebrow
"One and the same." Naruto nodded, "Why did you send your men after Joy Meachum?"
"Why did your company steal our pier away from us?" Yang asked getting a raised eyebrow from Naruto
"What?" Naruto asked
"We had a deal with the previous tenant. Joy Meachum broke that deal. We wanted words with her." Yang said as Naruto raised an eyebrow
"Words with tomahawk?" Naruto asked before Yang was about to speak again but Naruto interrupted home, "I'm here to let you know it's not within your best interests to come near Joy ever again."
"Are you threatening us?" Yang asked before his eyes widened when Naruto's smirking face was covered by a mask as a black and red suit covered his form (Godspeed suit), "Godspeed!"
Yang and his men quickly got on their knees and bowed to Naruto, "Stay away from Joy, or I will be back and you will not like that." Naruto said getting nods as Naruto turned to leave
"Godspeed-sama why is Rand so determined to keep the pier?"
Naruto stopped and looked at Yang, "Not that it is any of your business, but turns out Rand is infested by The Hand." he said as Yang looked at him in shock, "Forget about the pier."
Naruto suddenly sped off as Yang and his men slowly rose to their feet
Later, Penthouse
After getting Joy situated, and talking to Colleen about her activities Naruto arrived at Elektra's penthouse to see her in a red robe, "Did you get it?" Naruto asked
"Of course." Elektra smirked motioning to her laptop as she dropped her robe and moved into the next room to change
Naruto walked over and in seconds speed read everything and narrowed his eyes as Rand popped up a few timed along with the name Fisk whoever that was, "Did you catch the info on a Roxxon ledger?" he asked Elektra
"Of course. There is a gala happening tomorrow and their accountant Stan Gibson is our way in." Elektra said
"Do I have to wear a suit?" Naruto whined
"If we want that ledger then yes." Elektra said
"I could just go and-"
"No," Elektra interrupted walking in as she pulled up her face mask, "We are doing this my way."
"Fine." Naruto said as with a small white flash from his lightning bolt pendant a Anbu suit manifested around him with a fox mask covering his face
"I count 7." Elektra said referring to the chakra signatures heading for them
"8. There's one on the roof across the street." Naruto said putting the laptop in Elektra's bag as Elektra nodded
"No Godspeed?" Elektra asked
"Not yet. We don't want to spook them just yet." Naruto said just as 6 men and 1 woman entered, "Ohayo minna-san!"
The 7 figures paused seeing Naruto, and Elektra standing beside each other, "My lovely here and I were waiting for some entertainment. Please don't disappoint."
Naruto's fists lit up in a yellow light as Elektra cracked her knuckles Finished
Naruto's necklace is like T'Challa's in the compacity that it can manifest his suit only it can also manifest any type of clothing he wanted
