Jun was completely devastated upon listening to his uncle. He messed with the wrong person. Not only did he mess up badly, he even dragged his entire family into this mess. Everyone looked at Kaze, waiting for him to drop his sentence. “It’s nothing personal. Before I say more, let’s just comb through the details here.” Kaze got up and went over to Jun. He said coldly, “I slapped your friend on your hotel premises, and you want to avenge him—I understand that. “However, you did not bother finding out about the truth, or ask who started it, and you came up to me, trying to oppress me with your status and background. You even threatened to break my limbs and said your family, plus the Vikroms and Logmans, would be the new top three families. Did I miss out on anything?” Other than the Joestar family, the Vikrom and Logman families were speechless as well. They all looked at Jun with the coldest glare. They had the thought of replacing the previous top three families; it wou
Hotels were the Joestar family’s main business. Many hotels in Lilyrose, large or small, were under their company’s banner. A while ago, Jack gave Kaze Lily Garden Hotel because of what his son, Ren, did. It was nothing much to the Joestar family but now, all of their hotels were ordered to suspend operation for a month. The loss would be unimaginable. However, it was not the worst. At least they did not end up like the top three families and could recover from this. Kaze’s order was considered merciful. “Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!” Jack nodded instantly, not having the courage to argue. “You’re dismissed.” Kaze sent them off. All three heads of families nodded and bowed at him before they left with their respective families. Jun was sent to the hospital and Starocean Hotel was shut down by Pierce’s men. Kaze and Darcy also went home. “Hey! Why are you throwing me out? I’m your manager’s friend!” When Kaze and Darcy exited the hotel, they saw Tao, in his mi
“Wow!” The moment the Koenigsegg’s door opened, even the passersby were astonished. A small crowd gathered to take pictures and video of it. The Koenigsegg had a futuristic design. Even professional car vloggers would be in awe of its existence. “Is that your car?” Tao was stunned. Even a layman knew that Koenigsegg was much more expensive than Lamborghini. Despite being supercars, the two brands were entirely different. Kaze said, “Does it have anything to do with you?” Tao’s expression turned sour. He drove his Lamborghini over to tease and insult Kaze in front of Darcy, yet Kaze countered him with a Koenigsegg. “Wait, isn’t that the Koenigsegg One:1? That’s Leigh’s new car!” Tao suddenly recognized the car. When Leigh got the car, it caused quite a commotion in his social circle. Tao, as one of the supercar club members, knew about it and had seen it before. “Kaze, why did you have Leigh’s car? Did you steal it?” Tao questioned. His jealousy consumed hi
Kaze frowned at Will’s words. He instructed Draco’s driver to take Will and the others to a nearby treatment facility. The driver registered the patients and paid for the treatments before reporting back for duty at Lilyrose Strategic Department.There was nothing more to it. However, the staff conduct at Victoria International Hospital was appalling to refuse treatment to the seriously injured. Kaze had to wonder if the Glitters played a part in it. If that was the case, things were not looking good. With that in mind, Kaze thought he should pay a visit to the hospital. Leigh’s attack on Will and the others was somewhat related to Kaze. Besides, Will and his team were government servants. In a way, they worked for him. “Alright. I’ll be there.” Kaze ended the call and told Darcy before heading off. Not too long later, he arrived at Victoria International Hospital near Landor residential area. The medical center looked rather grand, taking after the classic Pa
“I don’t care what your doctors are doing. Call them here now. I’ll tear this entire building to the ground if I don’t see any of them in sixty seconds.” The menacing look on Kaze’s face scared the two nurses stiff. Pale in the face, they could not get a word out. “Hmph! That’s a bold statement to make. Victoria International Hospital is only for the rich and powerful.” The door with the signage “Doctor on duty” next to the nurses’ station opened. A bespectacled woman with freckles walked out with sleepy eyes. She put on a lab coat. Kaze glanced at the woman’s name tag. Her name was Lianne Fowler. Lianne sized Kaze up. Judging by his clothes, he was not someone important. She sneered, “How is a nobody like you going to tear the building down?” Ignoring the woman’s taunts, Kaze said curtly, “Weren’t you on your lunch break? Why were you sleeping in the office instead? “Don’t you know there are several patients with severe injuries waiting for treatment?“Where are yo
“Dr. Fowler!” The two nurses screamed and rushed to pull Lianne out of the pile of junk. Lianne was a mess. Her glasses flew off, and loose strands of hair dangled over her face, which was marred by a bright red handprint.The nurses helped Lianne up, and she glared at Kaze. “How dare you hit me, bastard!” Her tone was filled with disbelief. Victoria International Hospital’s clientele was only the rich and powerful. Despite their prestige, they treated the hospital staff with courtesy and respect. The appreciation from the clients fueled Lianne’s and the hospital staff’s arrogance. The way they saw it, they only engaged with the rich and powerful. They did not give a damn about the general population. The hospital staff did not think there was a problem in the way they confronted Kaze and the others.Victoria International Hospital did not need to expand its clientele anyway, so the hospital staff could approach the patients however they liked. Besides, the patients
The woman was beautiful but aloof. She gave off vibes to keep away. With the woman approaching, Lianne stopped yelling and expressed fear. The woman was Miriam Loop, the director of Victoria International Hospital.“There you are, Ms. Loop. This man is causing a scene here.” Lianne drew close and pointed at Kaze, who was in the trauma room. She said wickedly, “He stirred trouble the moment he came and he hit me. The security guards were attacked when they stopped him from taking the patients away.“The worst thing was, he said we have no medical ethics and wanted to tear the building down.” Lianne embellished what Kaze had done. Kaze singled Lianne out, but Lianne changed the story to include all the medical staff in the hospital.She hated Kaze’s guts and wanted him dead. Miriam glanced at the security officers scattered across the floor before turning to Kaze grimacingly. “I don’t care who you are, but Victoria International Hospital has never come across a reckless
“I guess I was right before, and I was only scratching the surface.“Lianne is not the only one without medical ethics. From the top stands you, the director, to the bottom—all of you are unscrupulous.“You are a bunch of money-minded trash without any conscience.“I don’t see the point of having this hospital around anymore.” Miriam grimaced. The medical staff of Victoria International Hospital was not having it. “Who do you think you are, jerk? How dare you say that about us!”“Don’t let these troublemakers get away with it, Ms. Loop.” “Get the guy who thinks he’s tough. Punish him and make him an example.” “Make him get on his knees and compensate us. Break his limbs! He will think twice before stirring trouble here again.” The medical staff unleashed a tirade of abuse on Kaze. If Kaze had not defeated several security guards with a single kick, the medical staff would have gotten physical with Kaze a long time ago. Miriam raised her arm, shushing the clamoring
“No! My daughter is still in the hospital!” Katie refused to accept her punishment. She started to regret her decision but it was too late. “Now only you think about your daughter? I guess you are not that foolish, but have you thought about her when you betrayed Chairman Lee? “Don’t worry. Leah knew Chairman Lee personally and we won’t hurt her, but she might not live a good life anymore,” Snow said coldly. She did not want to put the girl in a difficult situation but her life as a princess would come to an end. “You can’t do that!” Katie could not believe Snow would do that. “I bet you never thought of the consequences when you leaked the information. Too bad. You’ve lost.” Snow revealed the truth because she wanted Katie to suffer for the decision she made. Katie would now regret every decision she made because she knew she had jeopardized her daughter’s life. She would feel like a fool. She devoted her life to climbing higher to gain more power but she ignored the
“I went to a bar to have a drink and I bumped into an informant of the Viper’s Den.” Katie looked helpless as she explained as if everything that had happened was planned out for her, pushing her to the edge step by step. It was a lively night at the bar. The atmosphere was pleasant and most of the guests were having a good time. Katie was a single woman. She needed care and love at times. She was alone when she visited the bar. She started off by ordering some drinks at the counter, waiting for a chance to meet a man who shared the same ideals. A drink or two later, maybe she could get herself a company for the night. As a grown-up woman, she had her desires. It was a way to release her stress. Katie entered the bar in a casual outfit but it did not diminish her elegant demeanor. When she sat down at the counter, a few young men approached her but she was not interested in immature boys. She continued drinking. She looked at the dance floor occasionally, searching for a
“Who do you think will believe you?” Arthur frowned. There were too many coincidences that it felt like a giant setup. “I’ve explained what I need to. Don’t interrogate me like I’m a criminal. I am the CEO of the Northborn Group.” Katie left them speechless. She had said the necessary and it was up to them whether they wanted to believe it or not. They did not have the evidence to charge her anyway. “You really think we can’t hold you responsible?” Snow was not really looking for a definite answer. The moment she suspected Katie, whether or not she was truly the traitor, Snow already had the right to hold her accountable. It was necessary to make things clear and it was to find out who Katie leaked Kaze’s information to. “It has come down to this. No matter how you deny it, it’s useless. We already know what you have done and you can’t escape. Even if you don’t want to confess, we can continue the investigation, and we’ll eventually find out the truth. “If you come clean
After Katie sent Leah to the hospital, she went back to work. She had a lot on her plate recently and it made her hesitant. Many decisions must be made at once. Many documents required her attention but she was not in the mood to go through them. Her eyes were watching the news on her computer screen. She seemed to know what had happened yet the headlines were not showing, which made her anxious. “Nothing?” Katie felt strange. According to the scale of the incident, it should be making headlines. Hijacking a plane was no small matter, yet not one article about it was published. She felt strange. “Madam Loren, the Viper’s Den wanted to meet you. They said it is for some documents,” Joey said as she came in. “What documents?” Katie felt strange and instantly became suspicious. “The projects previously under Jet Frost and his family required your signatures. The money has already been transferred but they need one last confirmation on the numbers,” Joey said professiona
Snow could not go to Kaze because she had to stay back to handle the rest of the matter. “You know that person.” Peter dared not lie anymore because he wanted to ask for forgiveness. “You’re still trying to negotiate?” Arthur knew what Peter was targeting since he did not finish the sentence. “I regret what I have done but I want to see if the Viper’s Den could forgive me this once. I’ll make up for what I have done. Can you please let me go?” Peter boldly made his request, albeit knowing that it was unlikely to work, he hoped to gain attention. “Don’t even think about it. You’ll be out of the Viper’s Den after this. We won’t hold you responsible and consider it mercy from us.” Arthur did not want to go after Peter but he could not allow the young man to stay in the organization anymore. People who had betrayed the Viper’s Den could no longer be part of it. “I didn’t know it was this serious. Besides, that person is from the Viper’s Den as well.” Peter regretted hi
“I wonder how Chairman Lee is doing. If he’s alone, he’ll definitely get out of the situation but there’s a whole plane of hostages with him. He must be in a difficult position.” Snow knew Kaze’s personality well enough, thus her worries. Kaze would never escape alone and abandon the people. He would either leave with everyone or stay to find a way to solve the matter. Snow then suddenly sighed a breath of relief because she knew Kaze would never spare the hijackers for what they did. She was no longer overly concerned and focused instead on resolving the matter at hand. A while later, Arthur came back hurriedly. “I’ve checked the records. Only a handful of people know that Mr. Lee left and they are all whom we are familiar with and trusted. The traitor must be among them.” He dared not believe that Kaze’s schedule was leaked from his side. “No one at my side knows about Chairman Lee’s schedule except me,” Snow said confidently. She started to feel more certain about t
Snow had already sent men to where the plane was found. If the passengers were taken away, then they must still be nearby. It was difficult to transport an entire plane of passengers to some place far within such a short time. It was a race against time. Snow did not know who would do such a thing. Kaze took a common flight like everyone else, yet it was hijacked. It was strange. The coincidence was uncanny. Snow believed the hijacking happened because of Kaze but she did not know why. “The only explanation is that there’s a traitor among us…” She finally came to an unlikely conclusion after combing through the details. If there were a traitor, it must be within the Viper’s Den. Kaze had laid a low profile for as long as he was in Butterworth. Not many people knew about his identity and those who wanted to make connections with him were because of Snow. It was unlikely that someone would go after him so suddenly unless this person knew his identity and background.
If they were sent to capture Kaze, then they were severely under-numbered. In addition, they allowed Kaze to be alone with the captives, which proved that they were inexperienced. Or maybe they did not know what he had done in the past as the God of War. Kaze believed that the mercenaries were after him but they did not know his true identity. There must have been some miscommunication between them and their employer, which was good news to Kaze. Tiguan and his men were eating. Since they were unable to identify the target, they were forced to bring everyone back. The plane was huge. It would be an easy target for the law enforcement to locate them. Maybe the outside world had caught wind of the hijacking. “Boss, what should we do now? That man seems like he vanished into thin air.” “We got his boarding information but we can’t identify him on the plane.” “Who are we looking for exactly? Why is he so mysterious?” The men were baffled. “We are looking for the righ
“We are almost there. We have to transfer these people as soon as possible. The plane must take off right away. We cannot leave any traces behind.” They must hurry or they would be caught very soon. They held the pilot hostage and forced him to do an abrupt landing. The sudden descent caught everyone off guard, shocking them. A few of the passengers even hit their heads. Many of them did not get the chance to fasten their seat belts. Kaze grabbed Barney and protected his head from hitting the front seat. “Thank you.” Barney looked at Kaze with gratitude and then looked outside. “Where are we? Have we reached?” He was worried that they would be completely trapped. “They are going to transfer us elsewhere.” Kaze had a similar experience before and he knew what the hijackers would do next. “Transfer us? Are they going to transfer us to somewhere secluded and kill us all?” Barney looked horrified as he stared at Kaze. He somehow felt safe beside Kaze. “They sai
