“I’m terribly sorry about that, Mr. President. I am just trying to be reasonable. I know this world isn’t black and white, there’s always a gray area but sometimes, it’s very clear.” Darcy maintained the same level of respect for Yuri while sounding stern. Yuri grunted. He wanted to lash out at Darcy but then a woman with glasses came into the room in a hurry. “Uncle Yuri! You have to help me! You have no idea how arrogant that useless Kaze Lee was! I fired him and he threatened me! He said today is the last day of me being the person in charge of Red Star Charity. “I mentioned your name but he isn’t afraid at all. He shows no respect for you!” The woman did not even look at Darcy. The moment she came in, she voiced her complaints to Yuri. She was none other than Yelena, the person in charge of Red Star Charity who had just fired Kaze earlier at the slums. Red Star Charity was founded and funded by Lilyrose Commerce Guild and Yelena was able to become the person in charge
“Yelena!” Yuri cried in shock when Yelena was sent flying by the slap. He slammed the table and bolted up. He shouted, “Who the hell are you?! How dare you slap Yelena?!” “Are you okay, Darcy?” Kaze ignored Yuri entirely and was fully concentrated on Darcy. “I’m fine.” Darcy stroked her cheek as she looked at Yelena who was crying and twirling on the floor. She suddenly felt a lot better, physically and mentally. Being ignored, Yuri was furious. He bellowed, “So you are the useless trash Kaze Lee?” “Who the hell are you, old geezer?” Kaze looked at Yuri. Yuri’s expression turned grim. Lawson went over to help Yelena up and bellowed, “How dare you! This is President Yuri Kosky of Lilyrose Commerce Guild! How dare you disrespect him?” “President Yuri Kosky?” Kaze glanced at Yelena and asked, “This little bitch—she is also named Kosky. Is she your illegitimate daughter?” “Kaze Lee! Watch your words!” Lawson shouted, “Yelena is our president’s niece! Mr. Preside
“Kaze Lee, kneel and apologize to Yelena and the president, and maybe the president will forgive you.” Darcy was furious when she heard Lawson. She was also struck yet Kaze had to apologize. Kaze ignored Lawson completely and said, “President Kosky, is this your idea?” “Of course.” Seeing signs of Kaze’s submission, Yuri took a deep breath and sat back on the couch. He took a sip of tea and said, “You made a mistake and if you want forgiveness, of course you have to ask for it. “Kneeling and apologizing is only for what you did to Yelena. As for my forgiveness, it will depend on your performance and attitude.” In just two short minutes since the meeting, Yuri knew that Kaze was a proud person. Therefore, he wanted to use this opportunity to blunt his edge. If he succeeded, Kaze and Darcy would accept his demands and apologize to Lil Dee and Lee Investment. Samson would then owe him a favor. “Mistake? What did I do wrong?” Kaze said coldly. “President Kosky, yo
Kaze’s words not only surprised Yuri but also everyone in the room. One of the pioneers in Lilyrose behind the city thriving now, Yuri Kosky was the first richest man in the city and the president of Lilyrose Commerce Guild who was respected by many. Kaze must have all the nerve in the world to want to hit him. “Kaze, no…” Darcy wanted to stop Kaze. She knew if Kaze struck Yuri, things would certainly spiral out of hand. People were already criticizing him for hitting Lil Dee and if this happened, things would be chaotic. “It’s fine, Darcy. He’s just an old man trying to use his experience as an advantage. If I hit him, nothing will happen.” Kaze said without even looking at Darcy and continued moving closer to Yuri. Lawson immediately jumped in front of Yuri and blocked Kaze. “Kaze, know your place! Who the hell are you, trying to hit the president? Based on what you said to the president, you will lose everything here in Lilyrose!” Lawson shouted at Kaze, trying t
Yuri’s mind went blank after the slapping spree.He could not resist the whole time Kaze was slapping him. “Kaze Lee, stop it! You are going to kill him!” Lawson’s terrified voice came from behind, shouting at Kaze. He was a few feet away, afraid that he would be slapped again. He was struck earlier and knew how painful it was. Yuri was a man in his fifties. How many more slaps could he take from Kaze? Kaze controlled his strength nicely. Even though the slaps were painful, they were not strong enough to kill Yuri. He finally stopped after his anger vented and saw Yuri almost passed out. Thump! Kaze released Yuri, allowing the man to fall to the floor. Kaze had to hold the man up during the barrage of slaps or else the man would have collapsed on the couch. Yelena and Lawson came over immediately after Kaze stopped. They quickly helped Yuri up from the floor. “Uncle Yuri, are you okay? Don’t die!” “Mr. President, hang in there! I’m calling the ambulance!” Yel
“Old geezer, are you really going to go all out?” Kaze was as calm as always. He even smiled and said, “Thankfully I am prepared. I knew things wouldn’t end with me slapping you.” “You little bastard! You are not all that stupid after all.” Yuri wiped the blood off his lips and clenched his teeth. He said, “I will have you know how disastrous it will be for slapping me.” Kaze somehow became Yuri’s archnemesis. Had Kaze not slapped him, he would have jumped Kaze and strangled him alive. “Disastrous? Are they more severe than this hundred-year storm?” Kaze went up and grabbed Yuri to throw him to the side. He then signaled and said to Darcy, “Darcy, come here.” “What?” Not knowing what Kaze was trying to do, Darcy went over. “Yuri Kosky is an old man who has forgotten his manners. He didn’t even offer you a seat when you arrived. This is your seat.” Kaze then had Darcy sit on Yuri’s couch. “You must be thirsty. I’ll go make you some tea.” Kaze then poured some t
Fortunately, the cup of tea was not enough to disfigure Yelena. “Uncle Yuri! This bastard splashed hot tea at me! Kill him! Kill him!” Yelena dared not challenge Kaze alone anymore. She stepped away and begged her uncle to avenge her. Yuri stared at Kaze coldly and said, “Yelena, don’t worry. When the members of the guild arrive, this little bastard will be dead. “Many top companies are members. This little bastard here has no idea how powerful they are!” He was calming Yelena down and threatening Kaze at the same time. Kaze was unfazed. He sat down calmly and made more tea for himself and Darcy. “Mr. President, I’ve called them!” A moment later, Lawson came back with his phone. Yuri glanced at Kaze before he asked, “How many of them refused to come, mark their names. After I get Kaze Lee, I’ll go after them. They will be kicked out of the guild.” He actually wanted to know how many members would show up because it reflected his connections and reputation. “Mr. Pr
More than a hundred members of the guild, all influential figures in their respective fields, arrived. Under the lead of Bernard, Peter, and Jack, they all swarmed into the room, which was the HQ of Lilyrose Commerce Guild. Not even the founding day of the guild saw this many people. It was a grand scene to behold and Yuri was absolutely flattered and honored. His lips and bloodstained beard were twitching in excitement. Yelena and Lawson were thrilled as well. They had never seen such a scene before. With the signal from Yuri, Lawson stepped up. “Members of Lilyrose Commerce Guild, I summoned all of you today because our president, Yuri Kosky, was slapped by someone, in this place, the HQ of the guild! “Look at the president’s face! It was that little bastard who did it! The president is a pioneer in the business field and a reputable elder, yet that punk slapped him multiple times! “I believe many of you are around the same age as our president. So, if we don’t make t
