“Yes, Mr. Glitter!” The three titans nodded and then moved closer to Kaze. “Kaze, on your knees!” The hundreds of guards moved a step closer as well. Rustle! Suddenly, loud rustling came from outside the artificial lawn, sounding like a thousand snakes wriggling closer to the building. It was so sudden and creepy that it gave everyone goosebumps. “What’s that?” Other than Kaze, everyone in the hall was surprised. As the rustling got closer and louder, they realized they were hurried footsteps on the grass. However, it was already too late when they realized it. Bang! A loud bang blasted the doors of Landor Residential Area to the ground. “Who the hell are you people? How dare you cause trouble at our place?!” The three titans turned around, shouting at the intruders. At a closer look, the three titans were stunned. An army of people gathered outside the mansion and were swarming inside. “Brother Kaze, a thousand of us are here! Not one less, not one mo
“For someone living in a cave, you think the sky's the limit. Now that you’ve seen what I can do, I believe you are a caveman living in seclusion, Astral,” Kaze said with a faint smile. Astral’s expression turned grimmer. He scoffed. “Kaze, you think you and your little army are enough to scare me? If they know who I am, do you think they will still listen to your command?” Even though Astral was surprised, he did not freak out like the others. His identity fueled his absolute confidence. “I’ll give you a chance to try,” Kaze teased. Astral scoffed. “You called forth a bunch of random guys and started to be pretentious in front of me. I just need one word and I can send them back where they come from!” He then walked past Kaze and went over to the entrance. Charlotte and the three titans followed him. When they walked past Kaze, they grinned and said, “Kaze, if you keep provoking Mr. Glitter, it will only accelerate your death!” Astral’s confidence infected them and r
Therefore, Astral never thought Conan would bring a thousand men to his property just to find trouble with him and it was all because of Kaze. He refused to believe it, so he chose to believe what was more likely to his belief, which was the Queens seeking war against the Glitters. Compared to Conan taking orders from Kaze, the family war sounded much more plausible. “War?” Conan laughed and said, “Astral, you are full of yourself. You think you can represent the Glitter family?” Astral’s expression showed anger. Conan was known to be a gangster despite his status, so he was always used as a negative example for all other rich families to educate their children. On the other hand, Astral was the elite of the elites. Conan had no right to look down on him! “Besides…” Conan ignored Astral and continued laughing. “Even if the Queens want to wage war against the Glitters, so what?” Astral scrutinized Conan and said contemptuously, “Conan, you should look in the mirror
In the blink of an eye, Tobias’ claw pierced through the air and approached Kaze’s neck fast. Kaze did not move. Tobias assumed he was terrified and could not react in time, which aroused his bloodthirstiness. It was then Kaze looked up at him with a calm and cold gaze. The gaze struck fear in Tobias’ heart. Then, Kaze raised his left hand for a forward swing. “Aargh!” On the other hand, when Rex and Paul got rid of two of Conan’s men and were ready to approach him, they heard an excruciating cry from behind. They instinctively turned around and were shocked by what they saw. “Tobias!” Tobias was sent flying away with blood spewing from his mouth. “Kaze! What did you do to Tobias? You’re fucking dead!” The two of them ditched Conan and jumped toward Kaze immediately, wanting to avenge Tobias. However, no matter how fast they moved, Kaze was faster. When the two of them were less than a meter away, Kaze swung his hand forward again. Astral was protected by
Astral straightened his back and stared into Kaze’s eyes fiercely. He had nothing to be afraid of. He had the entire Glitter family behind his back, which was his strongest support. “Die?” Kaze shook his head and said, “Astral, death is a sensitive word. If I were you, I wouldn’t use it so lightly, or else I would let you have a real taste of it.” Astral grinned. “Kaze, are you threatening me so that I will kneel? Too bad you got the wrong person!” He then looked at the men Conan brought and said, “I admit that I lost today but it’s because you caught me off guard. I didn’t expect you to get Conan and his men here with just one call.” Kaze raised a brow and looked amused. “What’s wrong? You don’t seem too happy about it.” “Don’t talk to me like that. It’s an insult. You really think I lost to you? If it wasn’t for Conan and his men, you would be in my shoes now!” Astral scoffed. If not Conan and one thousand of his men, reinforcing Kaze, there was no way Astral would
Before the men could react, Astral twisted his arm and grabbed their wrists. Crack! The men who seized Astral had their arms broken with just one twist! Even Conan was shocked by Astral’s sudden display of his power. Kaze raised his brows and looked amused. “Interesting.” He started to believe Conan. Based on what Astral just did, he was indeed stronger than the four titans. More precisely, he and the four titans were not the same. The four titans were more about brute strength, emphasizing muscles and raw power. Astral focused more on techniques and agility. Although his physique was slimmer than the four titans, his techniques gave him an upper hand. It somehow fit his image—a gentlemanly monster. Bang! Bang! Astral kicked the men away and then walked up to Kaze with a frosty look. “Kaze, dare to fight me fairly, one on one? If I win, I walk and you can’t do anything to me.” Kaze smiled. “If you lose? You take your own life?” “I won’t lose.” Astral narro
Kaze slapped Astral repeatedly like a whip. Astral’s fair and handsome face was swollen and covered in blood. He shouted, resisted, and tried to fight back, but his efforts were futile. The eldest son of the Glitter family was being slapped like a sore loser by Kaze. No matter how he moved or dodged the slap, Kaze’s slap would precisely land on his face without a miss. The most unacceptable thing was that Kaze did not overpower him with some superpowers but just a simple slap. “Aaargh!” Astral shouted, spewing blood from his mouth. He was internally hurt as well. Slap! Kaze slapped him again. “Astral, you said your family shouldn’t be humiliated. What was that phrase that came before it?” Kaze continued to tease him. Astral shut his eyes and stayed quiet, refusing to answer the humiliation. It would be the biggest joke if he tried to answer Kaze. “Playing dead are we?” Kaze smiled. He looked into the crowd and called someone over. “Max Kang, get over her
Astral was dragged to the helicopter like a pile of meat. He was tied under the helicopter after he was stripped down to his underwear. As the propeller started to spin, the helicopter rose to the sky and flew toward the city. Soon, Lilyrose was bombarded with the news. Many people saw a naked man being tied under the helicopter and flew around the city. Twenty minutes later, the helicopter returned to Landor Residential Area. “Kaze, I think I might have wasted my whole life. I only know how to use my fists and never thought of something this fun!” Conan dragged Astral over, looking extremely excited as if he had just finished a roller coaster ride. Kaze said, “If you do what I did, your Pops will definitely break your leg.” The Queens were a strict family. Even though Mathias and Conan had the looks of a playboy, they knew when to do the right things and never cross the line. “Hahaha, right…” Conan awkwardly laughed. Kaze looked at the unconscious Astral. Eve
It took a lot of effort for Agnes to break her daughter up with Kaze. There was no way she would allow Kaze to have a second shot with Darcy. The way Agnes saw it, her daughter was the head of the Quints in the South River State and the chairwoman of Sky Ocean Corporation. Darcy was beautiful and a great catch. Kaze did not mean squat. While Agnes danced with joy, several vehicles turned up outside the villa. These cars belonged to two different parties. The first group was in fancy cars while the other group was much more discreet. Still, nobody would dismiss government vehicles. Though surprised, Darcy quickly went up to greet the people. “Chief Yaphet, Mr. Jayne, what brings you here?” The alphas of both groups were not some big VIP to Darcy’s family. However, they had control over Sky Ocean Corporation’s future. More accurately, the entities that these people worked for held the fate of Sky Ocean Corporation in their hands. Welson, a middle-ranking official in the
“No way! Madam Quint had no reason to kill Madam Dark.” There was a bustle at Villa No. 1. Despite the statement coming from the police, the crowd was skeptical that Phoenix would kill anyone. Agnes and Darcy found the truth hard to swallow. If Phoenix were behind the evil assassination, they would be wrong about Kaze. The police officer said, “We learned that the dump truck driver received 1.2 million dollars before the accident. We tracked the money to one of Phoenix’s people in Ridgesouth. “We looked into Phoenix’s phone records and discovered that she contacted the Steelclaw Guild through the dark web. “She had no idea that we have eyes on the dark web. Though we don’t know the specifics of her deal with the Steelclaw Guild, she would only have one reason to contact an assassination organization.“The Steelclaw Guild’s killer then showed up at the funeral parlor.“We are linking these two incidents, and our prime suspect is Phoenix, who is now deceased.“We didn’t de
“Kaze, do you know how unfamiliar and frightened you’re making me feel right now?“Why was the Steelclaw Guild’s killer after you? If today didn’t happen, I wouldn’t know that you had gotten yourself in deep trouble. “I don’t know what else you are hiding from me. I even wonder if you were behind Madam Dark’s car accident. “My feelings toward you have been true, but family is equally important to me. “I’m afraid that one day, you will get my parents and brother killed.” Darcy let everything out. The storm in Kaze’s eyes quelled.He grabbed a pen and signed his name before taking his copy. Kaze placed the other copy on the table before walking away. As the people in the villa watched on in shock, Agnes dropped her jaw in joy. Agnes thought that it would take a lot of talking and crying to push Darcy in the right direction. To her surprise, Darcy filed for divorce right away. Nevertheless, she was quick to complain. “You are silly, Darcy. You should have asked for V
“Oh, don’t give me that!” Agnes said without a care, “All I know is that you stood by and got Madam Quint killed. “Why can’t you think before you act, Kaze? What are you going to do when the Quints hold you responsible?“Do you think this is the end of the matter? With Madam Quint dead, the Quints would demand answers.“Here you are, saying that you weren’t trying to get us killed. “You should set my daughter free now! I demand a divorce.” Agnes clamored. “I can’t sleep well at night, thinking I have to spend another day with a snake. “The ball is in your court, Darcy. Either he stays, or I go.” Agnes was determined to force her daughter into dumping Kaze’s sorry ass. Kaze turned to Darcy. “Let’s move out, babe. We can buy another house to live in.” He looked weary for once. Kaze felt drained. There was never a moment of peace whenever he was at home. Agnes would push Darcy into getting a divorce every time Kaze showed his face. Kaze had tried addressing the iss
Kaze said indifferently, “I don’t want to talk to you about this. Just carry on living in their own world.” “What? You have nothing to say for yourself, so you shut up?” Agnes was on full steam ahead. “Why didn’t you kneel when we were on our knees? Don’t you care whether we die?“Are you wishing we were dead?” Despite the grilling, Kaze remained indifferent. Agnes took things far and pressed on. “Were you trying to egg the killer into killing Madam Quint and Joan?“You were afraid of Madam Quint’s retaliation once the word about Madam Dark and Shadow’s accident got out, so you wanted to silence her.” Sky could not stand by anymore. “That’s extreme, Mom. K-Kaze—” “Was what?” Agnes glared at him. “The killer broke Madam Quint’s fingers, fractured her leg, and killed her and Joan. It’s clear that she was triggered by Kaze. “Once or twice might be a coincidence, but we’re talking about this happening multiple times. Isn’t it a deliberate act?” Agnes was witty to make
It had only been an hour since Phoenix met her demise. Yet the Ridgesouth Quints had already come to a decision. Even Kaze had to admit that the Ridgesouth Quints were highly efficient. The Quints’ approach was simple but highly effective. With Phoenix dead, the Quint family members in the South River State were without a leader. As the situation remained unclear and loomed with potential threats, it was best to put Darcy in charge of picking up the pieces. One thing stood out when the Quints handled business. It showed the Quints prioritized their own interest above all else. The Quints were not in a rush to investigate Phoenix’s death, avenge her, or question Hector’s family. Their aim was to cut their losses and reassure the family. The Ridgesouth Quints did not even mention Phoenix’s funeral. Different from Hector’s family’s joy, the other family members were horrified. “I’m sorry to upset you before, Darcy. Please forgive us.” “We were wrong. We are terribly so
“The head honcho made a wise choice.” South talked as if the plan benefited them all. The Steelclaw Guild did not consider the risk of sending Anzu after Kaze and his loved ones. Kaze survived the assassination and proved to the Steelclaw Guild that he was worth the risk. However, what if he had died? The Steelclaw Guild would let Phoenix know that she owed them one. Either way, the Steelclaw Guild would not be losing out on anything. The Steelclaw Guild had a collaboration with Kaze, but they were not in on it together. Kaze shook his head. The Steelclaw Guild was an assassination organization for a reason. They only worked for themselves and were not worth Kaze’s trust. He said curtly, “Tell your head honcho that I don’t owe your people anything anymore. “But you owe me one.” No one else but Kaze would demand something from the Steelclaw Guild. Anyone else in Kaze’s place would swallow the bitter pill and move on. Not Kaze, though. He was not scared of the
With Anzu dead, Kaze got rid of one major problem. Since the police would tie up loose ends at the funeral parlor, Kaze and Darcy’s family were free to leave under the escort of police officers. Other Quint family members in the South River State departed alongside Kaze and Darcy’s family. These people feared for their lives. It dawned on them that they were safe with Darcy’s family, especially since the police were determined to keep Darcy’s family safe and sound before. They followed Darcy’s family, not leaving them out of their sight. Dozens of members swarmed into Villa No. 1, leaving the residence rather cramped. “It’s such a waste of space for a small family to live in a big, luxurious place.” “I guess there are perks to kissing up to the mayor.” The Quint family members, making themselves too at home, occupied the space and made snide remarks. Darcy did not possess power or influence after losing Sky Ocean Corporation. They did not care what Darcy’s family t
Like Joan, Phoenix never would have imagined that she would die in such a humiliating way. Kaze did not even move his hands. He simply said a few words and Anzu killed her. Phoenix died with her eyes wide open, but the light quickly faded. The last image reflected upon her eyes was Kaze grinning brightly with his teeth gleaming under the light. “Bastard…” That was Phoenix’s last word. In just the blink of an eye, the respected elder of the Quint family had turned into a lifeless corpse. Every other family member at the scene gasped in shock. “Die, Kaze Lee!” Anzu’s killing spree did not stop with just two deaths. She shouted at Kaze but she dashed toward Darcy. Swoosh! Kaze had anticipated this. With a swift movement, he shifted sideways to position himself in front of Anzu, blocking her. Anzu swung her arms forward, launching multiple poisoned shurikens at him. Darcy was right behind him, so Kaze dared not dodge the shurikens. It was either him or Darcy. Howe
