“Uncle Chris!” Overjoyed, Bobby went up to Chris and whispered something while pointing at Kaze. Chris’ expression gradually turned glum. He looked up at Kaze and approached him. “Mr. Lee, Ms. Kosky dismissed you as a volunteer after you attacked Lil Dee and ruined our organization’s reputation.“It’s inappropriate of you to disrupt our relief efforts now.” Chris pinned an accusation on Kaze the moment he arrived. After leaving the commerce guild with Yuri, Yelena went to get treatment for her face and did not have time to notify her people. Chris had been out and about, unaware that Kaze had booted Yelena and Yuri out. “No need to point fingers at me, Mr. Hoot.” Kaze said with intrigue, “It’s undetermined who’s ruining Red Star Charity’s reputation.”Chris grimaced. The way he saw it, Kaze held a grudge and caused a scene because he was sacked as a volunteer.Unfortunately, Kaze also happened to witness Red Star Charity’s shady business. Although Yelena fired
Chris was visibly upset. The rescue workers all around grew angry. It was bad enough that Red Star Charity fed them spoiled food, but the organization tried to threaten Kaze and silence the rest of them. The stale food could be interpreted as negligence from either the delay on the road or the handling in sweltering weather. However, instead of resolving the matter, Red Star Charity opted to shush them. In other words, the stale food was no accident. “Do you even have a conscience, bastards?” “What’s the point of joining the relief efforts? Don’t you have any sense of right and wrong?” “We expect an explanation!” Hot with emotions, the rescue workers tore the Red Star Charity committee a new one. They could not put up with the committee’s exploits. Chris pulled a dirty face at Kaze and said grimacingly, “Do you think you can ruin Red Star Charity by rocking the boat? “You’re naïve to think you have public support. They can’t help you. “It only proves you’re guil
“You sure think highly of yourself, Kaze.” Chris smirked in disdain. “I told you right from the start that Red Star Charity is supported by Lilyrose Commerce Guild. The charity represents over a hundred businesspeople.“We are also the face of the local council. “Do you think you and your wife can stand up against the political and business figures of Lilyrose? Kaze smiled. “Red Star Charity represents both the political and business scene in Lilyrose? Wow. You sure think highly of yourself, Chris.” If there was anyone who could represent the city’s business and politics, it would be Kaze. Kaze was the acting mayor of the city. He appointed Darcy as president of Lilyrose Commerce Guild. However, Kaze had no intention of telling Chris that. The capture of one criminal should lead to more arrests. It was time to root out Chris and those who he worked for. “Are you still arguing with me?” Chris smirked and pulled out his phone in front of Kaze. “I’m going to call an e
“Who is the troublemaker?” Lawson asked with a grimace. Without exchanging pleasantries with Chris, Lawson headed toward the crowd. Chris chuckled and pointed at Kaze. “That’s him.” “I heard you want to ruin Red Star Charity, boy.” Lawson turned his head to look at Kaze. Once he got a good look at Kaze’s face, he froze. Lawson was stunned. The executives were summoned when Darcy became president. Lawson witnessed the members, including the leaders of the Vikrams, Logmans, and Joestars, taking orders from Kaze. Yuri, the former president, even groveled at Kaze’s feet and begged for mercy. Kaze’s face was hard to forget. “L-Le…” Lawson shuddered and stumbled for words. The Red Star Charity committee was excited upon the arrival of Lawson. As Lawson spoke with such conviction, Chris knew the matter would go in his favor. Kaze was no threat. To everybody’s surprise, Lawson looked like he had a ghost. “Are you alright, Lawson? Do you know him?” Chris nudg
“What do you know? Shut up!” Lawson cried with a menacing look, wishing he could rip Chris with his bare hands. Lawson was just a small businessman. Judging by the other entrepreneurs’ attitude toward Kaze, Lawson probably would lose his foothold in the city if word got out that Kaze kicked him out of the guild. “Please, Mr. Lee. All I’m asking is a chance. I didn’t do anything wrong.” Desperate, Lawson hoped his pleas could change Kaze’s mind. “Didn’t do anything wrong?” Kaze picked up the packed food he was given and passed it to him. “Eat this.” “Alright. I’ll eat it.” Lawson opened the lid without hesitation and grabbed a handful to shove into his mouth. He was willing to do anything Kaze told him to. “Yuck! Blegh!” However, Lawson soon threw up. Used to delicacies, he could not handle the rancid taste of stale food. “Why aren’t you eating? Go on.” Kaze narrowed his eyes as Lawson looked up in fear. “The food has gone bad, Mr. Lee.” “Oh, so you are awa
As Kaze kept a straight face throughout, Chris took it that his hands were tied. Chris looked up with a smirk and said, “Without us, Red Star Charity will become an empty shell, Lee.“We are in the middle of disaster relief. The situation will get out of hand without us taking control. “You caused this. I doubt your wife will be president for long when that happens. “We will wait for Yuri to return to Lilyrose Commerce Guild and Yelena to come back to Red Star Charity.“You can keep the stale food we bought for yourselves. “Hahahaha!” Chris and the other administrators laughed maniacally. They could not care less anymore. “Idiots!” Kaze yelled and said curtly, “Since you admitted to acquiring the stale food, we can skip the investigation and get right to it.” “What are you trying to say, Lee?”Chris grimaced. Several cars drove over from not too far away. A group with work badges got out of the cars. “The trade commission, the sanitation department, the comme
“I have no intention of letting you off the hook just because you ate the stale food.“I wanted you to recognize your mistake and experience what you put others through in hopes you would reflect and repent.” Kaze said his piece and waved his arm. “Come on.” Lawson, Chris, and a few more were cuffed and taken away amid a thundering applause. Once their bellies were filled, the rescue workers continued their rescue mission. Kaze got a call from Caleb at the mayor’s office. “Mr. Lee, the management team of Red Star Charity has been detained, but the organization coordinates the relief work in the city. We need a new management team to take over right away. “If I could pick your brain on your plans.” Certain matters were better off left in the hands of experts. Red Star Charity was closely tied to emergency rescue and disaster relief. “Don’t worry. I have an idea who would take over Red Star Charity.” Kaze glanced at Daphne, who was delegating tasks to the rescue worke
Take cover at Lilyrose Commerce Guild? Kaze was taken aback. “Is your dad a member of Lilyrose Commerce Guild, Daphne?” “Yeah. My dad is Hart Lyfe, the chairman of Rove.” Daphne panicked to the point of tears. “My dad must have gotten involved with someone powerful. Unless out of options, he would never bring trouble to Lilyrose Commerce Guild.“I know your wife is the president of the guild. Sorry for the inconvenience.“But could you ask your wife to ensure my parents’ safety? They are good people.” It dawned on Kaze that Daphne was Hart’s daughter. Hart left quite a good impression on Kaze. Though Rove was in the red, Hart pledged 50 million dollars to help with the disaster. He felt sad to witness such a touching moment at the guild just now. “Don’t worry, Daphne. Your dad is a long-time entrepreneur in the city. He has contributed a lot to the city’s development.“It’s Lilyrose Commerce Guild and the local council’s duty to protect your family.” Kaze patted Daph
