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
After four consecutive slaps, not only was Yuri stunned, but the other members of the three families were also frozen. They looked at each other before they looked at the three heads of families and Lewis. Then, they saw the person on the couch, who was enjoying his tea as if he was not part of the conflict. Slap! Another member went up to slap Yuri. “I'm leaving!” “I quit!” “Me too!” Each slap was followed by their exit from the guild. In just a blink of an eye, Yuri got slapped a dozen times again. His body finally collapsed on the floor, his gaze turned blank. His face was swollen after being slapped innumerable times. The other members were still coming and if this continued, Yuri might be slapped to death. Bernard felt sorry for the man. He frowned and said, “Guys, don’t just slap the man. There’s also his niece and the guild’s exec.” The niece and guild’s exec? Yelena and Lawson could not even react in time and they were surrounded. Slap! The slap
Yuri was beyond help if he still could not take a hint. The heads of Vikroms, Logmans, and Joestars took orders from Kaze. Despite learning the truth, Yuri could not wrap his head around the reason. “It doesn’t make any sense! You’re just a loser. Why would anyone act on your directions?” Yuri climbed to his feet in rage and glared at Kaze. “Do you think you can go over my head because these prominent families answer to you, bastard?“You are delusional! “You’re idiots, Bernard, Peter. Do you think you can walk all over me? “Well, you’re underestimating me.“Do you know that my efforts will push Lilyrose Commerce Guild to become a subsidiary of Four Ocean Commerce Guild? I will become a council member of Four Ocean Commerce Guild. “Once that happens, prestigious families and financing platforms meant squat to me.“You will all pay, that includes those who assaulted me.” Yuri shouted manically at everybody. He had lost it after his members and Kaze slapped his face.
It was Max, the commissary sent to Lilyrose to observe Darcy. Max glanced at Yuri, who was groveling, and said, “I am authorized to represent Four Ocean Commerce Guild to discuss restructuring Lilyrose Commerce Guild as a city-level branch.” He then shifted his gaze to the three family heads and asked nonchalantly, “Are you members of Lilyrose Commerce Guild? This saves me the trip of notifying you.” Max sounded certain that Lilyrose Commerce Guild would operate under Four Ocean Commerce Guild. The opinions of others did not matter. Yuri decided to throw Bernard and the others under the bus. He said apologetically, “Close to a hundred members led by the Vikroms, Logmans, and Joestars are quitting the guild just before you arrived, Mr. Kang. “I’m the only member left in the guild.” Yuri was full of hot air. He went as far as to expose his vulnerability to the commissary of Four Ocean Commerce Guild. Bernard and the others led a group of members to withdraw their memb
