“Bastards! You are all bastards!” Conan lashed out. However, there was nothing he could do about the journalists who had banded together. As they said, these people in the press had friends and connections, maybe not across Arcadia but in most regions. They came together on a common ground, united in their actions. Conan could not possibly go ahead and kill them. Even the Butterworth Queens could not handle all the media outlets if they got in touch with their friends in high places. With Conan blowing up, the individual who spoke on behalf of the press grew smug and pretended to talk out of goodwill. “We don’t want to get into it with you either. We all will be happy if you don’t stand in the way of us making money. “I am Danesh Jetman from Neo-Fi Media. People call my boss, Mia Hunt, the queen of the media in Arcadia. I’m happy to be your acquaintance, Mr. Queen.” Neo-Fi Media was a media giant in Arcadia. The media outlet possessed a powerful voice that wielded gr
“Only the person, who set you up, knows that you were framed, Kaze. “That’s why I know you’re not part of the mafia. You just know a few friends on the street. “But I’m not telling you this to clear your name. “I just want you to be aware of the power of my penmanship. I have the ability to paint you public enemy No. 1. “If you continue to overstep and argue with Lil Dee, I don’t mind writing another article that will destroy you and your wife forever.” That was a lot of smack from Danesh. He acted high and mighty like he held the key to Kaze’s fate. As a media personality, Danesh believed so. The cultured could kill with words, not physical weapons. Words had the power to inflict lasting damage. “You’re so badass, Danesh.” Desmond exclaimed with joy as Danesh took a stand for him. “Hear that, Kaze? “Danesh and all the other journalists are on my side. “Take the hint now, or involvement with the mafia is only the start of your lifelong torment. You will nev
Danesh's façade of a gentleman crumbled.His face contorted with malice. He thought that he had taken charge of the situation, and all that was left to do was walk away with Lee Investment’s shares as everybody looked on with admiration. However, Kaze gave him a rude awakening. “Do you know what you have done? You will pay for hitting me, Kaze! And you can’t handle what’s coming!” Danesh said lividly. “Can’t handle what’s coming? I should make it worthwhile then.” Curling his lips, Kaze drew close and raised his hand. “Smack!” Danesh was knocked off his feet once more. “Drag him back.” Kaze glanced at Conan. Without another word, Conan went ahead and yanked Danesh back to his place by the hair. “Let me go! Let me go, Conan! “I work for Neo-Fi Media. My boss is Mia! “Do you really want to make Neo-Fi Media an enemy?” Danesh put up a struggle, but Conan gripped him tightly like a robot and dragged him to Kaze. “Hold still!” Conan made Danesh stand straig
Danesh and everybody else in the room finally got the idea of what was going on. Although Kaze talked as if everything was up for negotiation, no one actually thought he was discussing it with Danesh. Kaze was trying to make Danesh hand over the shares. “You have the nerve, Kaze. How dare you steal Lee Investment’s shares!” Desmond was livid. Kaze was disrespectful to take Danesh’s shares right in front of his face. “He’s annoying. Get your people to shut him up,” Kaze told Conan without looking up. Without waiting to take orders from Conan, a suited man went to smack Desmond twice in the face. Desmond finally quieted down. Kaze smiled at Danesh. “What have you decided, Mr. Jetman?” “Dream on, Kaze!” Though overwhelmed with emotions, Danesh toughened up and said, “You are delusional to think I’ll give my shares to you. Kill me if you dare!” “Tsk, tsk. I can’t believe you’re choosing money over your life.” Kaze shook his head and stomped on Danesh’s leg. “Cra
The shares to all the media companies were given individually but when they were all transferred to Kaze, then he could become the biggest shareholder of Lee Investment. As a result, he would have a lot of votes to himself at the shareholder’s meeting. He would also gain the right to nominate his own candidate for chairman at the board’s meeting and if he could do it right, he could elect a new chairman who was loyal to him. Now, even a blind man could see what Kaze was trying to do. No wonder he did not stop the media companies from signing and taking the shares. He was waiting for the right opportunity! After the shares of Lee Investment were distributed to all the media companies, he could then take the shares from them one by one. He was not after Lee Investment’s shares from the start. He was waiting for the opportunity to loot the entire company clean. How would Samson react when he found out that the man that he resented the most suddenly became the biggest share
Following Kaze’s words, the suited men raised their fists. Crack! “Ouch! My leg!” “Okay! Okay! I’ll give you the shares!” Excruciating cries sounded ceaselessly. If one did not know better, one might assume hell had arrived on Earth. All the other journalists were terrified of Kaze’s madness. How dare he? Was he not afraid of reaching the point of no return? “Take those who agreed to sign the contract,” Kaze said. The journalists who finally gave in after losing one of their legs were taken aside to sign the share transfer contract. Still, there were more than twenty media companies left that were still holding on. They foolishly believed that if they could just wait it out, they might get a chance to turn the tables around. “Kaze Lee, you bastard! You really think you can do whatever you want?” One of the journalists pointed his phone at Kaze with the camera on. “I have recorded everything that you did to them! “Do you know how many followers my company acc
“Hahaha! Kaze Lee, you must be dreaming!” “My media’s account has ten million followers and you are going to ban it with just a call?” The journalist who worked for Peach Media laughed and mocked Kaze for his bold words. “Even if you want to bluff us, at least put some effort into making it sound more convincing!” A page with ten million followers was huge, regardless of platform. The potential profit that it could bring was sizable. Aside from the fact that Peach Media’s page was in good standing, without any solid evidence of the page breaking community guidelines, making false claims would not take down the page. It was the reason why the man was fearless. Kaze might be capable to the point that even Conan followed his orders, but he was only powerful in a small city like Lilyrose. There was no way his call could affect the decision of Mega Dance, the company that owned the platform. Desmond laughed as well. “Kaze, do you want to call Jeff and get my Emazon accou
The lobby of Lil Dee’s studio was in dead silence. Everyone heard of what happened to the media companies’ accounts. “No!” The journalist who worked for Peach Media cried excruciatingly. He was responsible for the account and he worked hard for many years for the page to reach ten million followers. The page had just started to be profitable in the past two years and now it disappeared without a trace. The account was probably the only valuable asset of Peach Media. The journalist clutched his phone tightly and shouted, “No! You can’t do that! I signed a contract with Mega Dance, you can’t just ban me…” “There’s one more thing.” His account manager stopped him before he finished and then further explained, “Regarding Peach Media’s accusation of the female doctor, it caused a bad influence on the platform and we suffered a sizable loss. “You have two options now: pay fifty million worth of compensation or go to jail. You better make up your mind because we are runnin
