Winnie was afraid of Noah, someone who was in the government office and had a certain level of authority. Two years ago, Shangrila Group went bankrupt overnight. Although the top three families were behind it, the ex-mayor was more or less involved. It was not that difficult to find out about it either. Without someone powerful making it happen, it was impossible to destroy a company as big as Shangrila Group overnight. “Someone powerful? Is he as powerful as the mayor?” Kaze did not take it seriously. He simply smiled it off and went out. Then, he saw a group of people coming over in a hurry. Kaze stopped, surprised to see that the leader of the group was his wife, Darcy. “Darcy? What are you doing here?” Darcy, Agnes, Hector, and even Agatha were there. Darcy and Agnes were holding gifts in their hands. “Winnie, Kaze? What are you guys doing here? Kaze, are you drinking?” Darcy was surprised to see Kaze with Winnie as well. Since Winnie was slightly tipsy an
Darcy’s expression shifted upon hearing Noah. She was right. Kaze slapped the man. This time, he slapped someone from the Ministry of Food and Welfare. Noah must be a reputable man to hold a high position there. In other words, Kaze got into trouble again. “Oh my god! Kaze you stupid idiot! Why did you slap him?!” Agnes’ smile froze and her face turned pale. She turned around to glare at Kaze. “Do you know who this is? How dare you hit him? Apologize immediately!” “Apologize? Hehe…” Noah chuckled and said coldly, “You slapped me and you think you can get away with just an apology? Do you know what this place is? This is the city council’s lounge! The leaders in the city council’s office, including the mayor, welcome important guests here! If you hit me here, that means you show no respect for the city council!” Kaze was amused by Noah’s claims, but Darcy and the others were terrified. Darcy knew that an acting mayor had just sworn into office that day. On his fi
“Mr. Moor, you!” The smile on Darcy’s face froze and her expression spelled anger. Agnes and the others were shocked and scared as well. They did not expect such a blatant request from Noah. Noah grunted and said coldly, “What? You don’t like me? If a stupid retard can fuck you, so can I…” Before he could finish, Kaze stepped forward and kicked him on his chest, sending him flying away. Bang! Following an excruciating cry, Noah crashed onto the wall behind him, causing the structure itself to tremble upon impact. He continued to cry in pain after he fell on the floor and bled profusely. “Noah!” The other two colleagues came out of the room and quickly went over to help Noah up. “Kaze! Why?!” Darcy bellowed after she regained her composure. “This is over! There’s no way we can get out of this anymore…” Agnes and the others were horrified. Kaze said, “Darcy, he got what he deserved. You can just stay out of this. I’ll get him.” Based on what Noah said to Darcy
“Noah, were you beaten? Who did it? Who beat you here at the city council’s lounge?” Adam was shocked to see the slap mark on Noah’s face. He knew Noah worked for the Ministry of Health and Welfare and his father was the deputy mayor. The father and son held important positions in government offices, which granted their family fame and status. Yet someone hit Noah in the city council’s lounge. “Him! That fuck!” Noah shouted and pointed at Kaze. He then looked at Adam with a curious gaze. “Adam, are you relatives with this punk here?” He saw how close Adam was with Agnes and Agatha, which made him suspicious. His expression turned bitter. If Adam decided to defend Kaze, then he would be in trouble. Adam was the vice chief of the Ministry of Health and Welfare from Sunrise City and was close with the Lees. If Noah decided to go against him, he might be at a disadvantage. Darcy sharply sensed the reverence Noah had for Adam and she immediately realized what was goi
Noah’s expression put Adam in an embarrassing situation. Harrison verified that Danny was just a con man from Paladia, trying to scam people’s money. Therefore, it was embarrassing for Adam to agree with Noah’s words. “Noah, let’s just forget about Danny. Focus on the current situation first.” He continued, “Kaze and I are relatives but beating you up is a crime and it’s a fact. He did wrong and I won’t defend him because he’s related to me. You have my support to sue him!” Adam spoke righteously, voicing his support to Noah. Noah laughed. “Thank you for your understanding, Adam. You are a righteous man indeed and a role model to us all.” As Noah flattered Adam, Darcy’s and Agnes’ hearts plunged into the abyss. Adam would not help, so how would they deal with Noah's retaliation? Noah alone was troublesome enough and now they had to deal with Noah’s father, the deputy mayor. “Adam, I don’t want to put you in a difficult situation. Please go upstairs first. My father
Kaze agreed with Noah’s words for the first time. He said, “Darcy, why don’t you guys go up first. I’ll deal with this and meet you guys upstairs.” “Hehe, let’s hope you still can go up to them after we are done here,” Noah said coldly. He assumed Kaze was just trying to act cool in front of his wife. Darcy shot a worried glance at Noah and then at Kaze. She knew there was no way she could talk him out of it, so she reluctantly nodded. “Okay. Don’t do anything rash. Just try to apologize and do what you must. “Winnie, you should come up with us as well.” Darcy was also afraid that Noah would give Winnie a hard time. Winnie shook her head. “It’s okay. Kaze got into conflict with Mr. Moor because of me. I must stay here and reason with the deputy mayor when he gets here.” She was prepared for the worst. No matter what she had to do, she must ensure Kaze’s safety. “Okay.” Darcy nodded and then went upstairs with Agnes and the others. She wanted to beg Adam to save
Compared to Lou, Kaze sounded a lot calmer. Since Kaze was showing his back, Lou was not able to see his face at first glance. “You? Who the hell are you?” Lou’s fierce gaze landed on Kaze and he bellowed, “Turn around. Show yourself! I want to have a look at the person who slapped my son!” “Father is indeed fierce for being one of the deputy mayors. I bet Kaze Lee is horrified right now!” Noah was impressed by his father’s fierce and loud voice. Kaze casually and calmly turned around to Lou and said, “I am the chairman of Shangrila Group. What is the matter here, Deputy Mayor Moor?” “Y-You…” The moment he got a clear look at Kaze, Lou’s mind went black as if he was struck by lightning. How could it be Kaze?! Kaze was also the chairman of Shangrila Group? He just had lunch with the young man in the afternoon and even proposed a toast. How could he forget his face? Lou’s mind went blank. He could not wrap his head around the situation. He only recovered his com
Thump! Noah knelt before Kaze, tearing and snorting. “M-Mr. Lee, I am so sorry! Please forgive me…” As he cried and apologized, he had a peek at Kaze’s expression. Noah’s colleagues were also looking at Kaze carefully. At this point, even if they were idiots, they would have figured out that Kaze was more than just the chairman of Shangrila Group. Otherwise, given Lou’s status as deputy mayor of the city, he would never hit his son just because of a few words from Kaze. He even bowed and lowered his tone the moment he saw Kaze. Who exactly was Kaze Lee? “That’s not what I want to hear.” Kaze stood in front of Noah and peered down at him. “Where is Zenny Soup?” Noah was surprised. He quickly shook his head and said, “Mr. Lee, I don’t know. I haven’t seen that bastard for a long time. When his father, Benedict Soup, was taken down, he had gone into hiding. “I only know that he is still in Lilyrose!” Kaze had already forgotten about Benedict if not for Noah mention
