“Here’s the thing. I have a bastard causing trouble at Victoria International Hospital. Can you bring your men here…” Pierce again? Kaze smiled amusedly. Even he started to pity the man. Pierce was so unlucky to bump into Kaze three times in a day. Surprisingly, Pierce turned Miriam down without hesitation. “I’m sorry, Ms. Loop. I can’t help you.“I’ve been suspended by Chief Brader and will be put under investigation.” Pierce spoke firmly and bitterly. There was a hint of resignation in his tone. Kaze was not going to let him go easily. Don immediately took charge once Pierce returned to the station. Pierce was suspended while an investigation into previous issues was in progress. Pierce would likely end up in jail. His life was over. However, if he cooperated, the police force would take care of his wife and children. Pierce knew that he had made a lot of friends and enemies throughout his service in the police force. Without protection for his wife and kids, peo
With veins popping out of her head, Miriam fought back the anger and did not respond to Kaze. Talk was futile at that point. After the call, she glared at Kaze and said, “Weren’t you acting tough, bastard? “The person I called is on their way here.“I will make you beg me on your knees later.” Kaze grinned. “I would prefer the other way around.” “Alright. We’ll see who the boss is later,” Miriam hissed through clenched teeth. She had never resented a person like today. If looks could kill, Kaze would be dead by now. Not too long later, the noise of a car engine came from outside the medical center. The emergency room was on the first floor. Soon, a flurry of footsteps came from the end of the hallway. “Ms. Loop, I heard of a commotion here.“Hmph! The fella should realize where he was before starting anything. “Where is he? Get out here now. Don’t make me come and find you.” A pair of plump arms shoved through the crowd of medical staff.A man with a pot bell
Noah, who was all smug a second ago, was lost for words. Kaze stood there with a stoic face and said indifferently, “Drag your ass here.” Noah moved toward Kaze. “Smack!” Without another word, Kaze slapped him. Noah’s close to 200-pound weight was thrown back from impact. The huge build knocked several members of the hospital management over like a bowling ball striking pins down. No one expected Kaze to hit Noah. As Noah lay on the ground with a bloody nose, the crowd realized how powerful Kaze was once more. “Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and help Mr. Moor up.” Miriam snapped out of a trance and yelled at Kaze, “How dare you hit Mr. Moor, bastard! “Do you know who he is? He’s a senior officer at the Ministry of Health and Welfare. “You’ve gone too far, you reckless fool. You’re a dead man for hitting him.” She then consoled Noah, “Are you okay, Mr. Moor? I’m sorry. We didn’t know the bastard would attack you.“He’s such a cocky man. Don’t go easy on him.
“Drag your ass here,” Kaze said again with a stoic face. Holding back the pain, Noah dragged himself across the floor toward Kaze. Without Kaze prompting, he rose to his feet and brought his face closer to Kaze. “Smack!” Kaze landed his palm on Noah’s face, and the latter was knocked over. “Drag your ass here.” The hallway to the emergency room was packed with people. Silence befell the place. Kaze kept telling Noah to come closer, and he was sent flying each time. The scene was caught in a loop. However, everybody knew that Noah willingly took a beating from Kaze. Noah’s face was black and blue from the repeated bashing. He could not even find the strength to crawl his way to Kaze. Kaze strolled toward Noah and looked at him from above. “I thought you were dismissed from your position as the senior officer at the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Who reinstated you? Your dad?” Kaze asked tauntingly. Noah lifted his head with a struggle and looked at Kaze. “No
Miriam covered her face and shouted manically from the ground, “I can’t believe you hit me again, asshole!”“Since you have no shame, I thought I should whack some shame into you,” Kaze said nonchalantly. Kaze stared at Miriam and said with a pretentious smile, “Ms. Loop, you pit me against a senior officer of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, but he turned out to be a fraud.“Should I bring the real deal to you?” Miriam knew Kaze was someone important since he gave Noah a whopping like no one else’s business. Wary, Miriam furrowed her brows and said, “What are you trying to do? Even if you have connections, you can’t throw your weight around the hospital. “Victoria International Hospital is more influential than you can imagine. Even the wealthy elites would back us up.” Realizing Kaze would not let the matter go, Miriam started to threaten him. Kaze raised a brow. “The wealthy elites? Who are these people you are talking about?“The Sunrise Lees, the Sunrise Glitters
Miriam’s threats did not faze Kaze. No one could stop him from doing the things he wanted to do. Sensing Kaze’s determination, Miriam knew there was no way out of the situation. “Alright. Since you don’t seem to have learned your lesson, we’ll see if Victoria International Hospital remains standing after today.” Gritting her teeth, Miriam took out her phone and dialed a number. “Hello, Mr. Hobbs. A bastard started a commotion at the hospital and assaulted me. Now the leaders of various departments are apparently coming. The bastard even threatened to revoke our business license.“Victoria International Hospital might be gone before you get here.” The moment the call went through, Miriam’s voice transformed. Sobs wracked her body as she spoke in a coy tone.“Oh, is there someone that powerful in the city? I want to see the individual who can revoke the business license. I might just revoke his license to live.“Hang in there. I’ll be there soon.” A gruesome voice came o
The general workers exchanged glances in hesitation. They wanted to help, but Miriam might rip them a new one. The general workers had not crossed paths with Miriam before, and they did not know her that well. However, they concluded from the earlier incident that Miriam was a petty and ridiculous woman. For all they knew, Miriam might go after them later. Just then, the air pulsed with the thrum of car engines.It sounded like many cars pulled up outside Victoria International Hospital. “Please give way.” Several middle-aged people weaved through the crowd in a hurry to get inside. A group of lanyard-wearing employees with work IDs trailed behind them.“That’s Morgan Wesley, chief of the Health Commission, Leon Lard, the chief of the F&D Administration, Alanna Maser, head of the Commerce Administration. Oh, he’s from the Tax Office.” Miriam grimaced as the group approached. She recognized the faces in leadership roles. They were the department heads from various
Morgan and the others ignored Miriam and even called her a fool in their minds. Miriam wanted to file a complaint with the mayor’s office. She seemed to have no idea that the man standing before her was the mayor. “Yes, Mr. Lee.” The group nodded and dispersed, diving straight into work with their staff. To show Kaze they meant business, these department heads, who usually sit in their cushy offices, ran up and down and looked rather busy.“We note Victoria International Hospital has a serious fire hazard issue. Many facilities haven’t been updated and inspected on a regular basis.” A deep dive into the nitty gritty unearthed significant problems.It did not take long for the chief of the fire department to be the first to report back to Kaze. The other department heads approached Kaze soon after. “We have inspected the place and found the improper handling of drugs here. Many patients suffered irreversible damage as a result.” “We have received complaints from cit
