However, Samson tucked his murderous intent away. He helplessly realized that he could not ruin Kaze. At first, Samson intended to pit Leigh against Kaze, hoping they would be at each other’s throats. Even better if Leigh could kill Kaze. At least, Samson did not have to get his hands dirty. From the information Samson gathered, Kaze caused a scene on the set and brought Darcy home. After that, Kaze went to Landor Residential Area to confront Leigh. Samson believed Kaze was walking right into his death. To his surprise, Kaze appeared unscathed at Victoria International Hospital over an hour later, as arrogant as always. Leigh was tortured by a loser from an upper-middle-class family. The Glitters kept the humiliating news from getting out. Hence, Samson had no idea what happened in Landor Residential Area. There was no telling how Kaze walked away unharmed. These questions were enough reason for Samson to be wary of Kaze. Samson was a cautious and suspicious man
The business sector of Lilyrose finally saw some improvement after taking down the top three families. Kaze did not want rumors that could spread like cancer to affect the hard-earned improvement. He did not want anyone to use the opportunity to spread false information or misleading news to cause panic among the people and other companies. “Kaze, aren’t you a little too demanding?” Samson scoffed out of anger. He did not know what Kaze was trying to do. He simply assumed Kaze was like him, being greedy and wanting to take more for himself, hence acquiring the private hospitals. He glanced at the seven heads of departments behind Kaze and scoffed. “Tell me, is this your own idea or the idea of the people behind you?” Samson might have underestimated Kaze multiple times, but he still believed that shutting down Victoria International Hospital was too much of an undertaking for him to complete alone. There must be someone powerful supporting him, using the conflict between th
“For the sake of your safety, sir, I’d suggest you return to Sunrise now,” the assistant said with a bow. “Return to Sunrise? Why?” A sudden thought sprouted in Samson’s mind. He watched as a giant signboard got blown off by the strong wind and crashed down onto the street. He laughed maniacally when the signboard broke into pieces. “A rare storm? More like a rare chance! And I will be here to seize it! This time, even if the mayor is here himself, he will not take my hospitals away from me!” Samson curled his lips into a maniacal grin. At that very moment, his confidence grew and the new mayor was no longer a problem. …On the other hand, Kaze wanted to go home after leaving Victoria International Hospital. On the way home, a heavy storm descended, so he changed his destination to the city council instead. “Caleb, Lou, the storm is unusually heavy. I heard it’s going to be unprecedentedly huge. Can the city’s sewer system handle the situation?” Kaze summoned the
Kaze then called Draco in front of the two deputy mayors and requested him to send some troops over to reinforce the city council. That night, Kaze stayed in the city council and oversaw the entire operation as the commander. The entire city was awoken as the flood was imminent. “Mr. Mayor, it’s been a whole night. Why don’t you get some rest?” Caleb said with a slightly tired tone and bloodshot eyes. He, too, stayed up all night to work. “Sure. You and Lou can take shifts. Get some rest.” Kaze got up and tapped Caleb’s shoulder. Caleb and Lou performed amazingly throughout the night. They might be schemeful old men but they were capable and could work when required. The key would be how to make use of their capabilities. After leaving the office, just as Kaze wanted to go home to have breakfast and rest, he received a call. “Mr. Lee, it’s been two days since you clocked in, shouldn’t you show up today?” The call was from Jennifer, the deputy manager of Hudson Investm
“If there’s nothing else, then you should go right now.” Jennifer gave Kaze a red vest that represented the volunteers. She was prepared for this and as if she knew Kaze would never say no to her suggestion. Kaze put on the vest and brought the group of volunteers, also organized by the company’s employees, along. “You guys should go to the Old District. People need more help there. This flood is terrible. A lot of people are still trapped.” “I heard the new mayor is going to remodel the Old District. I wonder when that is happening?” Kaze and the volunteers were assigned under a group of social workers, who were funded by the local commerce guild. They were then assigned to the Old District. “The Old District is dirty and messy. If there’s a flood, it will be filthy. Why did we get assigned there?” “Mr. Lee, you are our CEO, why don’t you use your power and get us assigned to a better place?”“Mind your words. He was our CEO. He is now like us, regular employees…”
“Geez, stop mumbling, you old geezer. We paid you for this.” “Guys, hurry up and finish the shoot.” The crew members were being assaulted by the stench and terrible temperature, so no one had the patience or the mood to talk nicely to the elderly. Each word that came from his mouth was insulting. The elderly person was a victim they got from the nearby shelter and since he had basically no background or money, he dared not offend them. Lil Dee was enjoying whatever service he could get. His assistant would feed him water, help fix his makeup, and keep his skin moisturized. The entire crew was moving exceptionally slow and they were holding up the traffic. The boats that were going into the heavily affected area to save the victims were being held up. Problems arose quickly but since Lil Dee had a few tall and fierce bodyguards around him, no one dared to talk to them. “Does anyone’s boat have empty space? I need help! An old man is trapped here and the water is alread
The middle-aged man was righteous and warm-hearted. He despised what Lil Dee and his team did. “Tsk. So they are using the lifeboats as a tool for their nonsense show? They are delaying the rescue of the victims!” The volunteers and soldiers booed them upon learning the truth. They thought Lil Dee and his team brought their own boat to the scene but it was borrowed from the man. Everyone was mad at them and urged them to stop shooting so that they could use the boat for better purposes. Lil Dee and his team were instantly embarrassed. The crew member shouted, “Shut the fuck up, you fucks! Lil Dee is more important than any of you! Stop the bullshit in front of us!” After silencing the crowd, he looked at the owner of the boat. “Yeah, we borrowed your lifeboat, so what? You want money? All you want is money for yourself, you pretentious jerk! I’ll give you right away! How about a thousand? Or ten thousand? “Fucking poor ass! Lil Dee’s money can drown you alive faster tha
Everyone was once again shocked when they heard Kaze. Who exactly was Kaze? Not only did he lecture the famous influencer, Lil Dee, in front of everyone, but judging from his tone, this might not be his first time either. “Kaze Lee? You?!” Lil Dee was shocked. He glared at Kaze with utmost resentment. He was beaten up by Kaze although he did everything within his power previously. Not only did he fail to get Kaze to apologize, but he was forced to kneel to Kaze because he used the hype surrounding Professor Whiteman for his selfish gains. In the end, Kaze terminated the contract with him and made him a joke of the entertainment industry. Lil Dee’s reputation was basically his livelihood and having it ruined was the biggest stain in his life. He dreamt of tearing Kaze apart with his own hands. “Didn’t expect to meet me so soon?” Kaze grinned. His expression turned grim and said, “Stop your nonsense at once and hand over the lifeboat.” The victim was almost drowning
