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
“Y-You…” Lil Dee looked at Kaze with disbelief. His expression turned grim. He did not expect the bodyguards he hired from Tendon Ltd. would not even last a hit in front of Kaze. Slap! Kaze turned around and slapped him in the face. “Stop talking. Get out of here!” Kaze dragged Lil Dee down and tossed him into the muddy water. His makeup and outfit were all ruined. Then, Kaze removed all the other crew members from the lifeboat. He then carried the old man and the child off the boat. “Give me a hand. We’re going to save the drowning man!” Several volunteers and soldiers immediately went up to Kaze to lend him a hand. The others who did not get to help applauded Kaze’s heroic actions, impressed by his fearless personality. “Just you wait, Kaze Lee! This isn’t over!” Lil Dee got up from the water and glared at Kaze. He was instantly surrounded by despicable gazes and was too embarrassed to stay. He grunted and then brought his team away. With the help of the
“Kaze stopped them because it’s the right thing to do. Lil Dee ordered his bodyguards to hurt him but Kaze beat them all up. We finally got the lifeboat to save more people…” The volunteers were accepting the interview from the reporters while trying their best to help. “Guys, we know this is going viral since Lil Dee is involved but please report the truth. We know Lil Dee is rich but we hope this news will reach the public the way it is, not distorted.” “Yeah. The people’s eyes are bright. We know who did the right things.” The volunteers were worried that the reporters were bought out by Lil Dee, so they asked to report the incident as it was. Among the group of reporters was a woman wearing a tag from Sunrise News with her name, Mandy Yipz, spelled on it. She said loudly, “Don’t worry everyone. Journalism is about the truth. We journalists have a conscience and we will only report the truth!” “Yeah! We will never forgive people who tried to delay or ruin the rescue op
“Tsk. The reporters are really good with their words. “A pen is stronger than a sword. It can kill without shedding blood.” At Lee Investment, Samson was scrolling through the news on his phone. When he saw the captivating yet misleading headlines from different news outlets, he could not resist tapping in. If even he was captivated, the majority of the people would surely feel the same. His assistant bowed and said, “Mr. Hobbs, are the news outlets going overboard this time? They should have focused on Kaze alone but now even the local police department was involved. “If Lilyrose’s reputation is tarnished, the new mayor might not be happy about it. Why don’t I call the news outlet and warn them about…” After Lil Dee was chased away by Kaze, he reported the incident to Samson because he knew he was no match for Kaze. He wanted his boss to take revenge for him. Therefore, Lee Investment used its connections with the news outlets to create a storm online. “Overboard? Ho
