Guardian-In-Law Chapter 119 Severe Consequences
Jessica looked at Kaze with disdain. “As for you, you were the one they excommunicated. Definitely not in the same league as Young Master Narian.” “Kaze, you were James’ best buddy. He took good care of you back then, and now that you found out about the truth, shouldn’t you seek justice for him? You really should not forget about him,” Haiden sneered at Kaze with a grin. Wayne scoffed, “Seek justice? From who? Jessica? Or the Lee family? He can’t offend either of them!” “I think he’d have a better chance next life!” Zack’s words made everyone burst into laughter. Jessica shook her head and scoffed. Kaze had it coming because he started it by questioning her reasoning for reporting on James. What could he possibly do now that he knew the truth? Other than sulking and being angry, he could not do anything to avenge his friend. That was why Jessica told him the truth because she did not take him seriously. She saw Kaze’s frosty expression smeared with grievance and they
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 120 Kneel and Call Me Daddy!
Everyone looked at Kaze blankly. They were not stunned by his threats because they never took him seriously, and neither did they believe he was capable of destroying the Hilfinger family. They were surprised because Kaze was still able to speak so boldly in front of them. Today was the rebuilding ceremony of the new Construction and Material Society—the day the Hilfinger family would rise to prominence and become one of the top families in Lilyrose. Yet Kaze was bold enough to speak such provocative words at the ceremony, challenging not only the Society but also the Hilfinger family. He must have a death wish. Kelly and Jessica along with Haiden and the others laughed at Kaze for being overconfident and ridiculous. Kelly teared up from all the laughing. “Hahaha, Kaze Lee! Have you lost your mind? If you are sick, go see a doctor!” “Is it because you are too poor? If you need money, I can lend you some. I don’t want to listen to nonsense anymore! I don’t want to laugh
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 121 Overconfident
Dan was baffled. Roger Hilfinger was not even a threat. With Kaze’s prestigious status, one word from him was more than enough to destroy the entire Hilfinger family, yet Darcy seemed to worry about him a lot. Gold Tooth bitterly smiled and said, “Master Lee, Ms. Quint asked me to come here as well. She even called me and offered me a million bucks. I said I didn’t want to but she insisted.” He then gave the bank card to Kaze. “This is the bank card that Ms. Quint asked Dan to give me. Master Lee, please give it back to Ms. Quint. I’m afraid she will be mad at me if I reject it.” Kaze was speechless and moved at the same time when he took the bank card. Darcy’s savings were used on the housewarming party and she did not have a million dollars in her bank account at the moment. She must have borrowed money from Miru. He had the best wife in the world. She even asked Gold Tooth and Dan for help even though she disliked making contact with the people from the underworl
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 122 The End of The Hilfinger Family
Everyone looked at Kaze. They assumed the useless idiot would surely hand over his wife and could not escape death. No one knew why Roger resented Kaze that much. Even if Darcy married Kaze and not Henry, it should not be the reason either. Then, Kaze provided the answer to everyone’s question. He scoffed and said, “Roger, where’s your son? Today is your big day and he’s not here?” Roger was instantly infuriated with veins bulging all over his forehead. He bellowed, “Shut up, you little piece of shit!” Kaze would not stop. He looked around and continued, “Is he still at the hospital? I heard he was castrated a few days ago. Roger, I heard you only have one son, and if he’s useless now, how are you going to continue the bloodline?” His words left the crowd astonished. How could they not know about something this serious? “Mr. Chairman, what happened to your son? Can he recover from this?” someone asked out of concern. There was no way Henry could recover from losin
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 123 VVIP
“Those two aren’t young anymore and they still idolize celebrities.” Kaze was speechless as he shook his head. Dan chuckled and said, “Master Lee, it’s normal nowadays. Many housewives and mature women like young idols, and even nickname them as sugar babies or whatnot. Those women are as playful as us men!” He was the owner of many nightclubs and bars in the underworld, so it was not surprising that he knew all these. “Ladies and gentlemen, friends and family, the rebuilding ceremony is about to start, please be seated!” The emcee’s voice echoed across the hall. Most of the guests had arrived. They took their seats based on the placement of their name tags. The Quint family’s seat was arranged at the back, where the seats of smaller companies were. The Quint family was a second-tier family and they should be seated closer to the main stage but Roger arranged for them to sit at the back to humiliate them. Kaze was the only representative and he was not concerned about
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 124 More Surprises
No one thought that the Lilyrose Strategic Department, who rarely attended local events, sent a representative over to attend the ceremony. Shin was a well-known figure among the citizens of Lilyrose. His Tiger Fangs even arrested Dan and his men who caused problems at the construction site two days ago during their routine practice. It made the headlines for days and became the hottest topic. As for Koga, he was lesser known but he too was a powerful figure—the commander of the special operation team, ranked the same as Brigadier General Shin, and only one more rank away from general. The two powerful figures came to the ceremony of the Construction and Material Society. The Hilfinger family was well-connected! Even Roger was overwhelmed by their presence. He invited the mayor and the chief of police, but he did not invite the two brigadier generals. He did not expect that they would pay him a surprise visit. The ceremony was full of surprises! When the news got ou
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 125 Messed Up
Compared to Koga, Andrew and Liv were more afraid of Kaze. Andrew said in a trembling muffled voice, “Liv, Commander Atlas went to the back because he doesn’t want to sit in front of that great one. If we continue to sit here at the front, we will suffer again when they notice us!” “Yeah!” Liv nodded. The two top celebrities stood up. “Mr. Chairman, can you change our seats? We want to sit there as well.” Their requests immediately attracted all the attention. They pointed to the back of the hall, where Koga and the others were seated. “Oh, alright. I’ll make some space for you two.” Roger was stunned. In fact, not only him, but all the other guests were stunned. The hierarchy of status was messed up completely. Two brigadier generals, the mayor, the chief of police, and two top celebrities abandoned their front-row seats and went to the back. The closer the seats were to the stage, the higher one’s status would be. However, the people with the highest status in
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 126 Low Profile
A strange scene happened. Every row in front of Kaze swiftly got empty. Only him, Gold Tooth, Dan, and their men remained seated at the same place. There was no one left in front of him but it was extremely crowded behind him. Kaze came under the spotlight as the crowd moved behind him. Jessica followed everyone to the back. When she noticed Kaze was still sitting at the same spot, she scoffed. “Kaze, all the VVIPs had gone to the back but you are still sitting there. Are you trying to embarrass them?!” She was loud with her sneers. Kelly, Haiden, and the others were busy arranging the seats for the guests and they too laughed when they heard Jessica. “What’s the problem with me sitting here? Who said I can’t sit here?” Kaze leaned back and sat comfortably on the chair. He was not moving. Haiden bellowed, “You stupid idiot! How dare you sit in front of the mayor and the other VVIPs? Who do you think you are? Get the hell back there!” He and Wayne wanted to drag

Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3564 Prime Real Estate
“Just tell me what you need, Arthur. You wouldn’t be calling unless you have received orders.” Philip was surprised to get a call from Arthur. Though they were acquainted, they had only communicated because of work. “We have just left Rising Sun. Don’t approve the films for now.” Arthur was blunt. “I can do that, but can I ask why?” Philip was caught in a dilemma because he had just promised Jet to release the films. Philip needed to know if the orders to delay came from a high power who could cover his ass. “Since you got a call from me, you should know that there are eyes on Jet. “You should know what you can and cannot say. Otherwise, you never know when you’re going to lose your job.” Arthur threatened. Philip was reluctant. He accepted Jet’s payment, and now he had to go back on his word. Nevertheless, Arthur was part of the Viper’s Den, and his status was rather unique. Arthur provided services to confidential individuals. These individuals were elites among t
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3563 Trigger
A balanced, profitable dynamic had been developed among the ports in Butterworth. Jet spotted his chance in the lucrative port business. He covertly took out some money to invest in a dying port. The port was situated in a more remote area. Some businesspeople favored more accessible ports. This drove shippers away from the dying port. Jet snagged the steal and improved the logistics and facilities around the area. The port was up and running again. Business at the port was decent enough. As the Frosts would run their business through the port, the local economy took off too. It was a good thing. However, Jet set his sights on several residential buildings around the area. He needed space to accommodate containers. The land was required to make business at the port more profitable. This triggered a whole new thing. Jet could spend some money to buy the residents out of their homes. However, the residents preferred to stay put in their long-time homes. No a
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3562 Particular
“I’ll keep the bank cards for now. I’ll talk to our superiors and give you a decision. Since the man said that the cards are meant for us, they won’t be going anywhere.” Knox had no idea who Kaze was, but he knew Arthur was with the Viper’s Den. Arthur must be someone from high places. Eli soon put the little incident behind him. He got a call from Aloysius yesterday and was made aware of Jet’s plans. The films had been put on hold for far too long, and the people above Eli were anxious to get things moving. Though Eli was surprised by the review board’s visit, everything was still in his control. Eli left the matter at that without reporting the incident to the higher-ups. The flashy, red car sped along the road. Arthur kept looking back at Kaze, eager to find out about the next plan. Arthur brought Kaze out today to witness how Eli and his team operated. As it happened, Eli adopted such a shallow ploy. Arthur was not surprised, though. Eli’s methods were common.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3561 Reconciliation
Eli dined offhandedly as if he had taken hold of the group. His words were layered with threat. “What? Are you trying to replace us?” Knox asked in disbelief. “I don’t have that power, but the investor does. I heard that he enjoyed dinner with your superiors. I’m sure the project will get the green light in no time. “Even if you didn’t approach me today, my team and I would have invited you out for a get-together.” Eli knew when to back down, easing the tension in the air. It was another type of reconciliation. Eli needed to go through the review board to get the rights to air the films. The carrot-and-stick approach was the best way forward. Kaze was surprised by the sophistication of Eli’s tactics. Still, he believed he had come to the right place. Sure enough, Jet would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. Surely, he was bound to leave loose ends. Nevertheless, he probably did not care. Arthur cocked his head back to look at Kaze. Kaze grinned, unbothered
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3560 Bring Something Back
The purpose of the visit was to inform Rising Sun that the films did not make the cut. Since Rising Sun would not make the necessary amendments, the project would come to a halt. “Please, don’t. Since we are all here, we should talk it out.” It took Eli quite some effort to get the group to the hotel. Eli had plans to please the crowd, so he could not let them leave just yet. This went beyond getting the green light for the films. Eli needed to make the group happy. “There is nothing more to talk about. We can’t proceed unless you make the changes.” There was no way around it. Since Rising Sun refused to make the right amendments, and Knox had orders about putting a hold on Rising Sun’s films, that was one less problem for Knox to deal with. Eli could not let the group walk out on him. Hence, he quickly sent people in. Several thinly clad women entered, each holding a small bag. Despite the weightlessness, the bag appeared to be carrying something of substance. “You
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3559 The Makings of a Star
For that reason, Rising Sun’s film productions were not cleared to be aired. “I told you the reason. The investor supplied us with the scripts, and we were told to base our productions on the scripts. Our hands are tied.”Eli would have made the amendments if he could. He knew where the problem lay. However, the company had to take the investor’s perspective into consideration. In the end, the films were yet to be approved for release. “I guess you won’t get the permission to air them then.” Knox was surprised that Rising Sun would not budge on the matter. Nevertheless, Knox and his team were not there to give the all-clear or talk some sense into Rising Sun. Knox and his team could care less about what Eli had to say. “We’re serious about getting the approval. “I’m sorry that we aren’t a better host for your visit today. Why don’t we move to the nearby hotel for a talk?” With the review board making an appearance, Eli knew there was still hope. If Eli did not grab
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3558 Green Light
Arthur chuckled, his smile carrying a touch of sleaziness. “Oh, I see.” A realization dawned on Kaze. “Are you with quality control?” Several individuals in dark blue suits approached. The men and women carried files and documents. Kaze nodded without a word. “We are just here to announce the results. We shouldn’t be long.” Arthur came forward to engage with them. The group was likely given the heads-up as they had the right number of people. They swaggered into Rising Sun’s building. The general manager straightened up his tie in a fluster and walked out. None of the film productions made the cut yet, and the delay was costing the company money by the day. At this rate, the project would go down under. Eli, the general manager, rushed to the entrance upon learning the news. The review team was there to do one final check. The films would get the green light if the board found that everything was up to par. The head office would stop putting pressure on
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3557 A Bit Much
Given Kaze’s status, Alfonso knew better than to have him waiting under the hot sun. Of course, he would send his people to be on standby for Kaze’s arrival. Peter only came to the rescue when Kaze was pestered by some street gang. Alfonso’s omission of Kaze’s identity led to this hiccup. Kaze did not care one bit about the incident. Heck, he did not even bring it up. Arthur straightened his back nervously, becoming even more cautious behind the wheel. “You knew, but why didn’t you say anything, Mr. Lee? You didn’t even tell on us.” Arthur could not understand why. However, he had more respect for the man. “I didn’t see a point. You’ll learn what happens when you displease me, so I won’t bother telling you now.” Kaze was mild-mannered as ever. He spoke softly without a hint of anger. All the more Arthur revered him. “Mr. Lee, we didn’t do our jobs right. We didn’t know who you were.“But my duty is to protect you in the dark. “We saw you getting out of the train
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3556 Rising Sun
“Rising Sun is a media company. Several of their films are about to be released. They are trying to get them approved to air due to some censorship issues.” Arthur took out a document. “Are there any issues with the films? Why aren’t they approved yet?” Kaze asked curiously. Kaze had no idea. “There are some issues. They aren’t fit to be aired. “Typically, there aren’t a lot of restrictions for film productions so long as the themes aren’t sensitive topics. “But these films featured altered history. The company has been asked multiple times to make revisions, but the films still don’t make the cut.” The Viper’s Den’s members were not privy to the information. The Frosts were insignificant. Kaze was after the Frosts. Otherwise, the Viper’s Den would not waste its resources on a mere film production company. Jet’s investment of nearly ten million bucks in Rising Sun caught the Viper’s Den’s attention. The delayed approval of the films would be catastrophic to the in
