Tank put his hand over his face and shouted angrily. The strain in his voice was clear. The only thing on Tank’s mind was to squish the bug. Kaze was just a lowly son-in-law of the Quints. Yet, he had the nerve to attack him repeatedly, and his face at it. Tank would never live it down unless he killed Kaze. “You’re one to talk, Mr. Gebach.” Kaze chuckled and said indifferently, “If you think this is pushing it, then so be it. “If you have the ability to crush me, do your worst. “If you don’t, just stand straight and take the beating.” Kaze threw back at Tank the very words he had used on Darcy. He flung back the insult to Tank.“Fine. I’ll show you.” Gritting his teeth, Tank whipped out his phone. Words were pointless at that point. Only by killing Kaze could Tank get over his rage. “Mr. Gebach is mad, Kaze. You’re dead meat.” “He has the resources and connections to crush you. You’re just a naïve moocher. You have no idea what you are in for.” “You will
A casually dressed man took strides toward the group. The man looked ordinary, the type that would not stand out in a crowd. However, there was something about his composure that could not be overlooked.“That’s Mr. Brams of Red Mount Capital.” Many exclaimed as they recognized the man. Jeremy Brams was the managing partner of Red Mount Capital.Tank held sway when it came to investments in South River. Jeremy, on the other hand, had influence across the nation. It was clear who was higher in the food chain. However, more surprises were to come. Many individuals swarmed into the club. “Haha. You are the face of Red Mount Capital. Where is your pride as the managing partner? I can’t believe you raced ahead of us.” “We know what you are up to, Jeremy. You are so embarrassing.” “You’re making it as if we don’t know Mr. Lee is here.” The subsequent individuals, who entered the place, teased Jeremy. The supercars club members were dumbstruck. The banter made
Mr. Lee? The group of renowned investors addressed Kaze formally. Cetus and the others were dumbfounded. They had to suspect Kaze was more than the son-in-law of the Quints. Ignoring the youngsters, the investors focused all their attention on Kaze. They stared at Kaze fervently. It was as if Kaze was their prey. Proficient in reading the room, these prominent figures knew what had happened in the supercars club. One of them snickered. “You acted fast and got in touch with Mr. Lee quickly, Tank. “But it seems you didn’t make much of a good impression. Haha!” The individual put Tank down. The feud between Tank and Kaze went past making a bad impression. Not only did the discussion about Rove not happen, but Tank’s face was bruised and swollen thanks to Kaze. After today, Tank would become the laughingstock of the community. Tank pulled a blank face and said curtly, “Don’t try to stir the pot. It’s none of your business. You can talk about your business once
As Tank was not willing to call a truce, Jeremy frowned. Jeremy turned to Kaze. “Why don’t you apologize to put an end to this, Kaze?” Kaze turned a deaf ear to Jeremy’s request. “You talk like you have beaten me, Tank.” Kaze looked at Tank and said with a faint smile, “Here’s the thing. “Just come at me with whatever you got. “Let’s see who survives in the end.” Since Kaze would not budge either, Jeremy felt a headache coming. He had no idea where Kaze found the confidence to go up against Tank. Still, he said solemnly, “You are free to use the South River Group at your disposal, Tank, but I will do everything in my power to stop you. “I don’t mind joining your little game.” The supercar club members were shocked that Jeremy had Kaze’s back. Even Darcy was surprised. Kaze did not seem to know who Jeremy was. Yet, Jeremy offered his unwavering support. What happened next was even more mind-boggling. “Jeremy made his stance clear. I can’t just let him show
Jeremy’s remark blew the minds of Cetus and the others. What did Kaze do to deserve the appreciation of big-name investors? It was not several million dollars or tens of millions of dollars. The amount was several hundred million dollars. No one would call that chump change. Yet, Jeremy offered to pay for Kaze. “There’s no need for that. Thank you.” Kaze turned Jeremy down and said to Cetus and his group, “I’ll cut to the chase. Write a statement to clarify your trashed car has nothing to do with me. Mr. Glitter ordered your vehicle to be destroyed.” Write a statement? However, Kaze was the one who got their sports cars ruined. There were over a hundred finest supercars. Yet, the bastard ruined them all. Insulted, members of the supercar club glared at Kaze. Cetus said angrily, “You’re pushing it, Kaze. It’s absurd of you to expect us to sign a disclaimer after you—” “Smack!” Kaze cut him off with a whack. “You write the statement.” Holding his face, Ce
“Tell you what. Why don’t we call it a day, and you can send me an investment proposal when you get back? I will contact those who will make a good fit with Rove.” Kaze proposed an idea. These investors came with the intention to help. Although he did not need any help, there was no need to be hostile toward kindness. It was inappropriate to pick and choose a few while offending others for no reason. Though Kaze was not afraid of trouble, he wanted to avoid adding to his problems unnecessarily. Taken aback, Jeremy took a long, hard look at Kaze and replied, “Alright. That’s a good idea, Kaze. We’ll talk soon since you can’t decide with all of us here.” He then walked away without stirring a fuss. Adrian from Green Source Foundation and Archie from Yellow Stream Capital left thereafter. These three investors belonged to the most influential investment firms. They were confident they could offer something Kaze would be happy with. The other investors did not share th
“If you think South Hill Holdings don’t have enough means to sort out your problems, Peony Funds have you covered, Kaze,” a partner of Peony Funds said. With Dakota’s face falling, the investor said with a smile, “Don’t be mad, Dakota. We can’t fight with Red Mount Capital, Green Source Foundation, and Yellow Stream Capital. “Instead of letting these firms secure a partnership with Rove, we might as well band together and give Jeremy and the others a run for their money. “The profits will be shared, but so are the risks.” The tension in Dakota’s face eased. The investor from Peony Funds had a point. “You’re right. We can form a coalition.” “Count us in.” “That’s right.” The other investors expressed interest in allying. Red Mount Capital, Green Source Foundation, and Yellow Stream Capital had been dominating the scene for far too long. The other investors had longed for a chance to join up to compete against the big names. Dakota replied with a grin, “Alright. We wi
The partner of Peony Funds was not done talking. He held nothing back. “But Rove’s Mr. Lyfe made you the decision maker of Rove’s operating strategy, so we had to come to you. “You are in over your head to think you can hike up the price and manipulate us.“We might not hold absolute power in the financial market, but we have seen it all.” The other investors nodded in agreement. They did not think highly of Kaze when they found out who he was. Their impression of Kaze only went from bad to worse when they arrived on the scene of a dispute between Kaze and Tank at the supercar club. If they had not stepped in to intervene, Tank would have gotten his way with Kaze. Kaze even trashed the cars of the club members and refused to cough the money up. As the investors were there for Kaze, he made the club members sign a disclaimer. Kaze was nothing more than a hooligan. Anyway, these investors looked down on Kaze. He was just a moocher who lucked out. Kaze would never
