Chapter 10 - Revealing true colors, I'm a Chameleon!

Marsh's mother arranged for fresh water and towels, Workmenn and Marsh soon got fresh and changed. After a few minutes, when they returned to the main hall, Marsh's father has returned, on seeing him, Marsh ran towards his da, and hugged him. Their eyes were filled with tears but neither of them cried, they just kept smiling with eyes full of love and tears.  After that, they all sat together for lunch, prayed for the meal on their table, and had lunch. Marsh missed everything about his home and the food that his mom cooked for him, that even with the first bite he took, he had tears flashing in his eyes but, he kept smiling, he was happy to be home. Marsh was a very emotional guy. After lunch, the whole family sat and they started asking about how was Marsh doing in his life? How were things going for him in JovialWiz? How was his business going? That is when Marsh stopped them in between questions and told them that he has brought some gifts for them. He asked them to wait for a second, and he brought out the gifts he had bought for his parents. And he handed over their gifts one by one, seeing and knowing about the thought and effort Marsh had put in those gifts, his parents were so happy and proud of their boy, who has grown up to be a young and wonderful gentleman in a short time.

That is when, Workmenn, in such a haste, came to the point and asked Marsh to come and get seated. He said, "I know this is all too rude but, we had a crucial objective to visit Taciturn, yes, along with Marsh meeting you guys and having a family reunion, umm ... we also had a bigger purpose of coming here. Marsh would you like to tell them?". To this, Marsh said, "Yes, dad, so, one of the main reasons why we are here is, I want to spread my small-scale business of electronic devices in Taciturn, I want to establish my business here as I did in JovialWiz." To that Marsh's dad said, "But, the thing is, how will you do that, you know, it is Taciturn and not JovialWiz. Even the brightest of the star will dim here." To which. Marsh said, "That's why I need your help dad, you have an established business in the clothing industry, you must know any or some investors who would be interested, maybe a little bit, in investing in my venture. Please, dad, if you will help, I will be able to fulfill my dream of establishing my business in Taciturn." Marsh's dad said, "Fine, I will talk to the investors I know of, maybe they can help you out with this, after all, it is your dream, I have to put all my effort into this."

Somehow, Marsh's dad was able to arrange two investors, which were ready to invest a small amount in Marsh's business, which was quite enough for him to at least start a spark of his idea in Taciturn. Simultaneously, Workmenn managed to arrange for the finance team, managing all ins and outs of THC's money. After starting his business, after many ups and downs, Marsh was able to do the impossible in Taciturn. After a few months, he actually producing and selling many electronics in Taciturn's market, only this time THC was approaching the local vendors and shops to take up his products for lesser prices and sell them. But, after a few months, even that changed, the vendors actually started approaching him and buying his stuff in lots. THC, finally, started making minute profits but, that was actually the beginning. After two years, THC was finally making great profits, that is when Marsh bought a big and beautiful home for his parents, with all facilities, servants, and all kinds of services, to make them feel like a King and a Queen of Taciturn.

That is when, Workmenn took out his best card, Ohh! That poor boy, Marsh, he had no idea what he had to deal with! Remember, that finance team Workmenn hired for THC in Taciturn, they were actually all those people, he knew from prior ventures. They all worked for him for a very long time, they were all well trained and smart at handling accounts. Something went missing in your wealth, they knew very well how to manage and cover that up. This is exactly the time Workmenn was waiting for all these years, where he could make some smart moves, and Marsh would not even care or know, because it was Workmenn's team handling the finances, right! Workmenn called up the head of the Finances team and asked him to move a certain amount out of some production projects, to buy some illegal stuff from the black market. Such as drugs, illegal ammunition, even paintings, sculptures, etc. He would then sell those to other people, rich businessmen, young adults, and the profits and money he made from these sellings were very large. So, money was divided into two halves, one went to the finance team, equally distributed among them, and the rest half, Workmenn converted it into diamonds and stored that in his locker. Marsh was unaware of Workmenn's doings so, he never doubted anything, until one day, when one of the vendors reported this to Marsh's production team, the vendor complained that one of his customers returned the product saying that the product stopped working properly within four days, even when she didn't do anything that could make the device like that.

This was immediately reported to Marsh as, in the coming days, there were more reports like that coming in from different vendors, about different products. Marsh was a sincere and hard-working man, he could not accept what was happening with his products, because according to him he was creating the best quality for his customers so, receiving such complaints, that too from different vendors, for different products, would mean something was going wrong somewhere and he was unaware about it at all.
