Tao grinned when Kaze successfully made Jun angry. He had to admit that Kaze had some influence in Lilyrose. As an outsider, Tao could not gain any advantage over Kaze, so he had to seek help. Jun was a member of the first-tier family in Lilyrose, the Joestar family. Ever since the top three families were taken down, the Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families were the strongest. Jun’s status saw an upgrade following the fall of the top three families. Given the Joestar family’s history and roots in Lilyrose, it would not be too difficult for them to crush Kaze. “Kaze Lee, if you don’t kneel and apologize, this won’t end well for you. Jun is my bro, and he has a bad temper. If you know what’s good for you, you should be on your knees now.” “Jun Joestar? Never heard of you. I do know a few people from the Joestar family,” Kaze said with a smile. Jun was a proud man. Kaze’s nonchalance made his expression turn gloomy. He pushed his glasses slightly and said with an evil gr
Jun looked at Kaze with interest but did not take him seriously. Deep down, he was angry. The nonchalance and the frivolous attitude were subtle but Jun was able to sense them. He was no idiot. If Kaze was able to stand before him casually and with such calmness, it must mean that Kaze had a strong support. Jun said strongly, “Punk, this is your last warning. There are only less than a handful of people in Lilyrose who I am afraid of. “If you apologize to my friend and compensate twenty million for the two slaps, this will be over; if you insist on opposing me, then you will pay more than twenty million.” Darcy had been observing Jun from the moment he came in. She saw his brazen arrogance and absolute confidence, which were signs of him having a powerful background. Kaze had just offended Leigh and it was already pressuring enough. Darcy wanted to settle this dispute before the matter escalated further. However, she could not accept the terms listed by Jun. She said,
Jun’s eyebrows twitched. His expression turned grim and then pulled out his phone for a call. “Bro, someone started a fight here in my hotel and he’s not apologizing. I need you here to help me with the situation. I’ll buy you a beer after this.” The man Jun called seemed to be someone with power. “I see. No problem. It’s a piece of cake. I just came back from the hospital and the doctor told me to stay clear of alcohol for a few days. We’ll drink another day. I’m on my way to your hotel now, give me around ten minutes.” A bold and strong laugh came from the phone. “Alright. I’ll mark that down!” Jun then put his phone down and grinned at Kaze. “Hear that? My bro is coming in ten minutes. He’s one of the most powerful people in the police force. “I’m giving you a chance to make whatever call you can get and use all your connections to get help.” The other customers present at the coffee shop were surprised. One phone call and Jun was able to bring forth a powerful pol
Ten minutes flew by in the blink of an eye. Wrrr! A sharp siren of a police cruiser came from outside the coffee shop. Then, more and more sirens, and police cruisers, arrived. A mini motorcade of police cruisers arrived in front of the coffee shop in Starocean Hotel. A group of uniformed officers came down from the cruisers. Under the lead of a strong man, the group of police officers strutted into the coffee shop. “Jun, I’m here!” The strong man came in with a loud voice and pushed the surrounding customers away. “Bro! You’re here already!” Jun went over with a delightful laugh. Just before he could give the man a cigarette, he had a close look at the man’s face and was surprised. “Bro, what happened to your face? Did you get hurt on some mission?” Jun could already smell antiseptic from the man from a distance. The man was none other than the deputy chief, Pierce Woodcock. Pierce shook his hand and said, “I was slapped.” Jun was stunned. “Who?! Who slappe
Pierce’s mind went blank. A moment ago, he was bold and arrogant, trying to hold the bastard responsible. Now, however, he was like a rat before a cat, shuddering and struggling to piece his words together. Jun was stunned by the strange scene. His lips shuddered and his mind went blank as well. Pierce was the deputy chief of the police force and soon-to-be police chief; even the Joestar family had to respect Pierce. Yet Pierce was stuttering and shaking in front of Kaze as if he had seen a ghost. “Deputy Chief Woodcock, we’ve met again so soon,” Kaze teased. He had just slapped Pierce back at the mansion, and now Pierce came to confront him because Jun called for the man. Even Kaze started to feel pity for the guy. “Uh…” Pierce’s lips were shuddering, not knowing what to say. “What’s wrong? You know this bastard?” Jun asked, seemingly annoyed. Pierce ignored him. He stared at Kaze blankly. “Come here.” Kaze waved his hand at Pierce. “Mr. Lee, I…” Pierce
Pierce lowered his head in silence, allowing Kaze a slapping spree on his face. His head was buzzing in pain but he clenched his teeth to endure all the slaps without making a noise. He was able to hold on because of his iron will. “What’s wrong? Say something.” Kaze tapped Pierce’s face and said, “You came in here like a lion looking for prey. You have a gun, don’t you? Use it and put a bullet in me–do it! No? I think that’s a toy to scare common citizens away.” He spoke with the most insulting tone. “Back at the mansion, I gave you a chance to turn over a new leaf and didn’t hold you responsible but now you come to me again, trying to hold me responsible before finding out what really happened. You even tried to abuse your power to help your friend. “You didn’t bother looking for the truth, and you tried to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Do you really think it’s that easy? “You’ve run out of chances. I’m not sparing you this time. I’ll tell Don to relieve you
Jun, who heard Kaze, was shaken. Starocean Hotel was the Joestar family’s property and if it shut down, his family would wreck him on top of him losing face. Knowing the odds were against him, Jun decided to surrender. He took a deep breath and went up to Kaze with a cigarette, “I am so sorry about what happened today. Please spare us this time and we can talk. Whatever terms and conditions you have, just name it. There’s no need to resort to extreme methods.” Kaze took the cigarette and let Jun light it up. He took a drag and then smiled. “You are a smart one, knowing when to back off.” Jun held his emotions back and forced a smile on his face. “You must be joking here. We are friends—brothers! It’s normal for little squabbles to happen. So why not just wipe it off and we can…” Slap! Kaze slapped him in the face. The sudden slap caused the cigarette to fall off his lips. Jun fell on the floor. He glared at Kaze and bellowed, “Kaze Lee, you!” He thought Kaze would sim
No one expected Jun to bare his fangs at Kaze again after being defeated. He brought his family’s name to the table. Some of the customers already knew he was a Joestar from the hotel mentioned while some just found out. Regardless, when the name Joestar was brought up, everyone felt pressured. The Joestar family was a first-tier family in Lilyrose, having more than a hundred years of history in this city. Almost everyone in Lilyrose knew them. The entire coffee shop was silenced. Kaze struck a member of the Joestar family inside the coffee shop, owned by the hotel operated by the Joestar family. The Joestars would never spare him for this. Kaze raised his brow at Jun. “You’re a Joestar?” “What’s wrong? Scared now?” Jun scoffed. He glared at Kaze and continued, “I gave you enough chances, trying to solve this amicably because we still have to do business here, but you crossed the line. Now that you know about my family, you are scared. It’s too late. “If you are
