The officers quickly wrapped up their investigations on site and came up with a result. Leigh grinned when he saw Don ordered his men to sum up the situation. It seemed like Don had decided to side with him, blatantly. “Kaze Lee, I told you. At a place like this, no one dares to lay a finger on me. Now I can have fun with your wife.” His grin widened as he pervertedly scrutinized Darcy. He was already picturing all kinds of filthy sex positions in bed. He was not afraid of Kaze backing on his word. Kaze said coldly, “You should be grateful that there are people here, or else you will end up terrible.” He was the mayor of Lilyrose, so he had a reputation to maintain. Even though not all the people knew about his new identity, it would be revealed sooner or later. It was also the main reason why he did not resolve in violence this time. Otherwise, he did not even need to contact Don and could take care of Leigh and his goons himself. “I’ll allow you to continue bark
“Y-You hit me?! You are a police officer! This is police violence! Do you want to get canceled?!” Samuel covered his face, shouting as he looked at Don in disbelief. “A slap is the lightest punishment for you,” Don said coldly. He then said to his men, “This man here is suspected of obstructing justice and threatening a police officer. Take him away.” The people cheered once more. They did not find the slap on Samuel’s face to be inappropriate. Samuel was also arrogant, like Leigh, and through Don, the people were relieved of their grievance. A goon of an arrogant prick threatened the police chief of the city? A slap was a small warning to remind him of the integrity of the police force. Leigh’s expression turned grim knowing that Don slapped Samuel without hesitation even after his identity was revealed. He finally realized his background did not scare Don. If he continued his arrogant attitude, given Don’s feisty temper, he might be slapped as well. With that, L
At Nobel Hotel, Kaze and Darcy were welcomed by the hotel employees. All the employees had a strong impression of Kaze after he made Harrison, the consul of Paladia, kneel in front of the hotel. “Hi, can you please inform the representatives of Four Ocean Commerce Guild that the chairwoman of Quartet Group, Darcy Quint, requests a meeting with them?” Darcy politely said to the reception manager. The Four Ocean Commerce Guild sent a group of representatives over and booked an entire floor in the hotel for themselves. “Please wait, Ms. Quint. I’ll inform the representatives right away.” The reception manager nodded at Darcy and Kaze before he went off. At the same time in a meeting room on the ninth floor, the representatives from the guild gathered but the atmosphere was unusually quiet. “What?! Leigh was arrested and detained?!” A man with a scrawny face shouted in disbelief. His name was Max Kang, one of the representatives sent by the guild to inspect Darcy’s compan
Samson was the first person that Max thought of. Although Max had no respect for anyone in Lilyrose, including the police chief, he could not just get any John Doe to settle the problem with the local government and the police department. He wanted to contact the mayor directly but since the mayoral position had just gone through a transition, Max did not know who the new mayor would be, so he did not know who to call. Soon, the call to Samson got through. “Max, I just learned what happened. I know the police chief, Don Braders. People call him the Iron Justice, strict and adheres to the law. It’s going to be tricky trying to free Leigh from his apprehension…” Samson made it sound difficult on the other side of the phone. Max wiped his sweat off as he flattered. “Samson, with your methods, even the strongest iron can be bent at will. Please, I need your help. As long as I can get Leigh back, you will not only get my gratitude but also the Glitter family’s.” Samson feigned
Max’s eyes shone when he saw Darcy get in his way. The lustful greed in his eyes flashed but he was able to conceal it. He frowned and said, “Ms. Quint? I thought I told you to wait.” Darcy had been waiting for a while now and seeing the impatience on Max’s face irritated her. Even though she was the one being inspected by the guild, they should have mutual respect for each other. Max made it sound like she was begging him. Darcy politely said, “Mr. Kang, we had a lunch appointment and now it’s lunchtime. Why don’t…” Max cut her off before she could finish. He grunted impatiently and said, “I don’t have the time now. Just wait here.” He wanted to bring Leigh out of detention, not waste time on lunch with Darcy. He then led his men out of the hotel, leaving Darcy behind with a sour look. Kaze coldly stared at Max and his men leaving the hotel. He said to Darcy, “Darcy, since he doesn’t want to meet us, let’s go.” “We’ll wait for a little longer…” Darcy said with a
“Leigh, are you alright?” Max went up to Leigh immediately and escorted him out of the police station. “Do I look alright to you?” Leigh lit a cigarette and took a puff before he looked at the signage above the police station. His gaze turned grim as he said coldly, “There were a few of them who took charge. I want everything about them. No Tom, Dick, and Harry can walk away alive after laying a finger on me. I’ll make the peasants know how severe the consequences are!” Leigh came from a wealthy and powerful family and he had always been the bully, not the other way around. Even in Sunrise City, less than a handful of people would dare to challenge him. Yet in Lilyrose, aside from losing the argument to a useless trash, he even got beaten up by the people inside the southern branch station. If the news got to Sunrise City, he would lose face. “Don’t worry, Leigh. I’ll take care of it as if it’s my matter. Even without your orders, I’ll find out who did it and give you
“And also Cosmo Lee from the Lee family. Kaze Lee broke his legs as well. “That man is crazy, an idiot. To him, all of you wealthy young masters are nothing but a punching bag,” Samson said heavily. Whether he was intentionally fanning the flames or just simply warning Leigh, only he himself knew the answer. Samson’s words successfully piqued Leigh’s interest. He felt challenged. “Cosmo Lee? He’s just a sissy,” Leigh said with a contemptuous grunt. He added, “This time, I’ll show that bastard what it means to be a young master from a real wealthy, powerful family. I can crush him easier than crushing an ant!” With his family’s support, Leigh had the confidence. Samson continued, “Leigh, I don’t think you should take this lightly. Kaze Lee is quite close with the ex-mayor, Johnson Brooks. Although Johnson is no longer around, his legacy remains. Don Braders, the chief of police, used to be his right-hand man.” “I see. His support is Johnson Brooks. I see it now!” Leigh
Max wished he could reverse time and slapped himself for spewing the wrong words in front of Zel. He forgot that to a wealthy family like the Glitters, reputation and dignity were more important than money. Moreover, Kaze was not just any John Doe, he was the abandoned son of the Sunrise Lees. The Glitter and Lee families were competitors in many different fields. No matter how ridiculous Leigh’s demands were, the Glitters had to answer them. With that, Max knew what he should do next. He asked his men, “Are Darcy Quint and her husband still at the hotel?” “Yes, sir. We just got confirmation from our men back there. They are still at the hotel.” Max nodded and said, “Let’s go back.” Back at Nobel Hotel, Darcy and Kaze continued waiting for Max. Darcy’s stomach was growling already. Suddenly, Max and his men came back and strode into the hotel lobby. Darcy went up to him and asked, “Mr. Kang, you’re back. Are you free now?” She and Kaze had no idea that Max wen
