All the supercar club members grinned when they heard Tank. They worried Tank might defend his guest, Kaze, but it seemed like their worry was unnecessary. Tank did not emphasize Lilian slapping Darcy but seemingly held Kaze responsible for being too harsh on Lilian. Kaze’s gaze turned cold. “Lilian Wheel slapped my wife and it was impulsive; I slapped her back and I’m being too much?” Tank nodded. “If that’s what you want to make of it, please do. I am just stating from an observer’s perspective, speaking objectively. “You are a man. You are naturally stronger than a woman. You should have held back. Moreover, you kicked down the door, which is basically getting the innocents involved.” The club members were delighted that Tank defended Lilian and them. “You heard Mr. Gebach, Kaze Lee! You almost hurt the innocent! How could you?” “There’s something wrong with your personality. What did the club do to you? Why did you knock down our door and provoke us?” “Ms. Wheel s
Kaze’s words silenced the entire club once again. Everyone’s jaw dropped when they heard Kaze call the Glitter family a bunch of cowards. He was courting death with such provocative words. To the supercar club members, Kaze had already lost his mind. All the members had strong backgrounds. Their family, parents, connections—everyone they knew was their strongest support and they could easily solve any conflicts with power or money. Yet none of them dared to challenge the Glitter family, let alone call them cowards. Kaze did not only scold one of the Glitter family members, but he called the entire family cowards! He challenged an entire family known for its wealth, influence, and power. The old saying went in Arcadia—wealthy families should not be looked down upon, or insulted. The slightest disrespect toward a family with a history and strong background was considered the heaviest of crimes, despite having no laws about that. There were no laws stating one could
Cetus spoke the mind of every member. Not only Tank, but not one of the supercar club members took Kaze seriously. Kaze was just a useless man who relied on his wife. They would never have noticed him if not for this occasion. He was like an ant no one cared about. Kaze and them were from two different worlds. Kaze glanced at Cetus and said, “You keep yapping. Don’t you feel like a clown? I don’t think I’ve answered any of your questions either, so please shut the hell up. I’m tired of slapping people today, don’t challenge my patience.” Cetus was furious instantly. He shouted, “What did you say?!” “You relied on your wife to reach your current position yet you have the nerve to talk to me like that? I have no idea what is in that brain of yours!” “How could you even speak with such arrogance in front of so many supercar club members? If not because of Mr. Gebach, whom we respect, we would have slapped your face off!” The other members voiced support for Cetus. They
Astral’s text showed off the pride of a wealthy and powerful family. He demanded fifty million from Kaze, but it was not to sell the car off. Kaze had to smash it in front of everyone so he could no longer drive it around the city, reminding others that the car used to be Leigh’s. In short, the Glitter family wanted to cut all ties with the car, leaving no traces behind. It was the pride and power of a wealthy family! Even Darcy was upset by the ridiculous demand. She said strongly, “Mr. Gebach, that’s too much!” Tank smiled and said casually, “President Quint, if you think that’s too much, I can’t do anything either. If you have the power to resist the Glitter family, you can do the same to them as well; if not, please do as requested.” Darcy’s lips moved but was rendered speechless by Tank’s statement. Cetus and the other club members laughed. “Kaze Lee, you heard Mr. Gebach! We are stomping over you just like that because you are useless!” “Mr. Astral has given t
Everyone in the club went closer to the window to have a look outside. What they saw shocked them. They could barely recognize the Aston Martin from the scraps. A massive excavator appeared in the parking lot, showing off its massive arm after smashing the Aston Martin into scraps. In the cockpit was Conan smoking a cigarette, waving in the direction of the club. He was extremely excited after crushing the car. However, due to the distance, no one in the club was able to recognize him. “MY CAR!” Cetus screamed. His face was red and his eyes bulged in shock and disbelief. “Kaze Lee! Why did you destroy my car!? Are you fucking blind? Can’t you tell that’s not the Koenigsegg?! That’s a fucking Aston Martin! If you are that stupid, at least look at the colors! One is blue, another is silver!” He shouted at Kaze like a madman. He did not expect his car to be destroyed in just a blink of an eye. He only got the car recently and now it was turned into a pile of scraps
“My car! No!” While the clinks and clanks echoed in the air, the owner of the car, who was one of the club members, screamed in pain. He was the one who asked Darcy to sleep with him for a month and he would give her the McLaren. Now his McLaren had become a pile of scraps. The sudden twist of events was jaw-dropping. In mere minutes, the Aston Martin and McLaren, six and five million, respectively, were crushed into a pile of scraps by the excavator. Some of the club members felt the adrenaline rush and thrills seeing the cars being crushed. However, something even more exciting followed. The excavator raised its arm again and onto the next car it smashed. Bang! A Buggati was crushed. Kabam! A Ferrari was smashed. Boom! A Pagani was thrashed. The massive excavator was a destroyer of cars, turning them into scraps with just a swing of its arm. No matter how expensive or cool the car was, they were paper before the excavator. Even though the club member
“Mr. Gebach, do something about the dummy. He’s outrageous!” “The guy doesn’t respect Mr. Glitter at the least bit.” “He’s cocky in your face. He doesn’t respect your authority.” Members of the supercars club could not do anything about Kaze. With the trashing still happening outside, they pleaded with Tank for help. Tank grimaced. Even he was ticked off by Kaze’s arrogance. However, he had to appear composed for the sake of his ego. Tank said in a cold voice, “You know what you are doing, Kaze. “Do you think you can defy the Glitters? Do you think you can insult Mr. Glitter and me?“Well, you got another thing coming. “You are only getting yourself and your wife killed. “You are just driving yourself to oblivion.” Everybody could tell that Tank was livid. He looked like he was about to blow up. No one would want to anger Tank, a tycoon in the South River state’s financial market. Kaze was just getting on Tank’s nerves. He would have to pay a heavy price f
It was pin-drop silence in the supercar club. Everybody held their breaths as the tension was palpable in the air. Kaze slapped Tank across the face in full view of everybody. Things just escalated to a whole new level. It was bad. “A-Are you alright, Mr. Gebach?” one subordinate asked with worry as he handed a wet tissue to Tank, who only stood there with a blank face. The other men glared at Kaze. They wanted to get their hands on him. It was bad enough that the lowly son-in-law of the Quints acted tough in front of Tank. He had the nerve to hit Tank in public too. Kaze was out of his mind. The subordinate’s voice snapped Tank out of a trance. After a brief daze, Tank took the wet wipe and applied it to his face without a word. Never before in his life had he been hit in the face, in public at that. The only other time it happened was when his old man hit him for his childhood misdeeds. Despite having lived for a long time, Tank took a while for reality to s
