Kaze shook his hand and asked, “How does it feel? Am I a man now?” Vilma was stunned for quite a while before she screamed, “You bastard! You slapped me!? I’ll kill you!” She was furious. She did not expect Kaze to actually slap her in front of Kingston, and he did not hold back at all. She was embarrassed, not only before Kingston but also the crowd. Kingston’s expression turned grim as well. He bellowed, “Young man, you have the nerve, I’ll give you that.” Kaze smiled. “Mr. Hacks, am I right? If you continue to be a pretentious prick, I can let you have a taste of my slap as well.” His expression turned grim and he continued, “Cut the crap. You either take your brand out of Golden Edge, or call for whatever help you have. I’ll give you time, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. “No matter what you do today, Paladia Moose will be evicted!” Everyone was surprised by Kaze’s fierce words. He was prepared to stand against Paladia Moose until the very end. “Young man, I hav
“I’m telling you, Paladia Moose might be new here in South River State and has no foundation or whatever, but we have allies. We worked closely with Four Ocean Guild. “Once again, are you sure you want to oppose us?” Compared to Vilma, Kingston was much smarter. He admitted that Paladia Moose had no solid foundation in South River State but he was able to secure connections with the guild.He was honest with his weakness but also confident that his connections with the guild would aid him. Darcy wore a serious look. “I have nothing to do with Four Ocean Guild. Please don’t use them against me. Besides, as a consumer, we just want justice. “If that’s what you want to think of us, then please just assume we are against Paladia Moose!” Kaze wanted to applaud Darcy’s courage for standing up against Kingston. Her words also surprised many others at the scene. She showed her tough side, which was rare. Kingston brought Four Ocean Guild to the table yet Darcy refused to back
“What’s wrong, scared?” Kingston saw Darcy’s change of expression. He scoffed, “You shouldn’t have opposed us from the start. “I’ll give you a chance. Before Zel sends his men over, just tell your husband to kneel and apologize, compensate us a hundred million, and give us total control of this entire floor, then we’ll call it a day. What say you? “If you don’t agree to my terms, then there will be no terms when Zel’s men are here. Because, when they’re here, it won’t be just an apology and compensation.” Kingston spoke arrogantly to Darcy and ignored Kaze completely. To him, Darcy was the real boss and Kaze was just a clown. If not for Darcy, Kaze would not have the nerve to challenge him. Darcy understood Kingston’s meaning. Zel said he would send someone over. Once that happened, it would mean going against the entire Glitter family, plus Paladia Moose. Like Kingston said, an apology and compensation would not be enough then. Even celebrities must get paid to a
“Hahaha! Zel’s representative is already here. Kaze Lee, you just lost your one chance to negotiate with me. You wasted it yourself, so don’t blame me.” Kingston then signaled his subordinate and said, “Tell the shoppers to move, I have to welcome a Glitter myself.” His men immediately moved the crowd to clear a path. “Mr. Hacks, the representative is here,” said one of Kingston’s men. Kingston nodded. He tidied his jacket and brought his men over to the elevator, waiting for the person to come up. The man wore professional attire but looked timid with a reddish mark on his face. Had his men not confirmed it beforehand, Kingston would not have believed that the man was someone from the Glitter family. Kingston went up to him and said, “I’m Kingston Hacks from Geranium City. Thank you for coming. How may I address you?” “I’m Max Kang.” The man was none other than Max from Four Ocean Guild. He said confidently, “Mr. Glitter has told me what happened. Don’t worry, King
It was Kaze. The familiar voice shook Max. His eyes widened in disbelief as if he saw a ghost. “K-Ka…” “Kaze Lee! You bastard!” Kingston suddenly shouted. “Who allowed you to speak to Max like that? Don’t you know he’s Zel Glitter’s representative?!” Kingston had no idea what was happening. He assumed Max knew Darcy and was surprised by her presence, which felt normal. Even for him, a playboy who had slept with many women, he was astonished by Darcy’s beauty when he first saw her, let alone Max. “Kaze Lee, you useless shit! You don’t even have the right to be around Max! Who allowed you to speak to him like that? If you don’t want to die, slap yourself!” Vilma seized the chance to win Max’s favor. Kaze ignored the woman. His eyes were on Max. He said, “Max, we’ve met for three consecutive days. Is the world too small, or are we fated?” “Hehe…” Max awkwardly laughed. If he could reverse time, he would never want to meet Kaze. He hated the bane of his life. “Maste
Kaze’s words silenced the entire crowd. Max represented Zel, so Kaze wanted to strike him harder. He was not afraid of Zel! Both Kingston and Vilma looked at him as if he was a vengeful spirit. They failed to understand what fueled the useless guy’s confidence to have the gall to challenge Zel. Was he not afraid of the Glitter family’s retaliation? Then, Kaze looked at Kingston coldly and said, “Mr. Hacks, the guy you brought isn’t that useful.” Kingston’s face turned red. He looked at Max and asked, “Max, call Mr. Glitter. Tell him that this useless guy wants to slap his face! I believe he will be furious! There’s no way he would let someone who relied on his wife challenge his pride! “You as his representative cannot just let that useless guy humiliate you! Are you just going to let him do this to you, and to Zel?” No matter what Kingston said, Max lay on the floor without any response. He was playing dead. He represented Zel yet he was unable to complete the as
“Mr. Conan?!” Max screamed in shock. When he was Leigh’s follower, he mingled in Leigh’s social circle. He recognized Conan, who was considered the outlier in the circle. Conan was from the Queen family yet he hung out with gangsters and hippies, causing trouble everywhere. He was the very definition of an outlier. “Conan? Which Conan? Detective Conan?” Kingston was surprised by Max’s reaction. “Wait, are you talking about Conan Queen!?” Vilma’s expression turned pale. The woman was ostentatious and her goal was to climb higher in the social ladder. She loved to gossip about rich young men, so she heard a lot of things about the Queen family, especially the second son. “What?!” Kingston’s jaw dropped and his eyes widened in disbelief. The long-haired gangster was the second son of the Queen family!? Slap! A slap landed on his face, punching his soul out of his body. Kingston covered his face as he stared at Conan’s arrogantly handsome look. “You called me
“You’re the child of a stepmother. You sure have the audacity to act almighty in Kaze’s presence.“Get on your knees and apologize. Just do what he says. “Or I’ll ruin you.” Conan gave Kingston multiple slaps and a kick behind the knees, dropping him to his knees. “I’m sorry, Kaze.” Kingston kneeled before Kaze’s feet and shouted with all his might. A moment of hesitation could cost him his life. “Well, that wasn’t so hard. You could’ve saved yourself a lot of trouble if you did it sooner.” Kaze reached out to pat Kingston’s swollen cheeks and said with a smile, “So between us, who’s the one not learning his lesson?” “It’s me,” Kingston hissed through clenched teeth. He could not be any more humiliated. His resentment toward Kaze gnawed at him. Kingson did not hate Conan who made him kneel because Conan came from high places. It simply never occurred to him that he had to kneel before a moocher.The way Kingston saw it, he would not be in a humiliating positio
