The entire bar was silenced once again. Corax looked grim and Wanda was terrified while the others were stunned. Had Kaze lost his mind? How dare he kiss Rose in front of Corax? Corax was obviously into Rose and expressed strong interest in sleeping with her, yet Kaze openly challenged him and exerted dominance with that kiss. Corax was the cousin of one of the Geranium Four—a relative of one of the top four families! With his status and wealth, he could get any woman with just a hand gesture, including celebrities and models. Yet he was embarrassed and challenged by Kaze because of a young girl. The girl used Kaze as an excuse, not giving Corax any chance to take advantage of her. Kaze openly challenged Corax with his provocative kiss in front of everyone. Corax stared at Kaze with utmost anger. He was fuming, and so was Wanda. She spent a lot of effort persuading Rose to join the gathering so she could matchmake Rose and Corax. As long as Corax was happy with
Rose shook her head to clear her strange thoughts. Having Kaze to herself was a dangerous thought. Darcy and Kaze were lovebirds. Kaze kissed and held her tight in front of Corax and Wanda because he wanted to protect her and nothing else. Rose’s shy punch on Kaze’s chest irritated Corax even more. To the others, it was an act of displaying public affection. Corax’s expression turned grimmer. “You useless piece of shit!” Then, a tall man with a buzz cut strode over to Kaze. Towering over Kaze, the man peered down at him and bellowed, “Punk, now I strongly believe you are an idiot! No one with a sane mind would try to snatch Young Master Corax’s woman from him! “One wrong step and you will be dead. Retard, have you seen a dead person before? Imagine if you were walking on the street and a truck ran you over all of a sudden. You will be smashed into pieces!” The man tried his best to scare Kaze. Kaze laughed and said, “You know, you remind me of another unlucky ba
“It’s up to you. I don’t mind staying.” Kaze knew what Rose was concerned about. If she decided to stay, he could use this chance to see what else Corax could do. Wanda chuckled. She was amazed by Kaze’s stupidity. Had Rose not stopped Jorge earlier, Kaze would have been slapped, but now he wanted to stay just for the food. Jorge and the others sneered at Kaze. Then, Corax got up and said, “I have a call to make. You guys continue. We can order some wine or whiskey when I come back.” He wanted to find out more about Rose’s father. Before he left, he shot a meaningful gaze at Jorge and Wanda, hinting at them to watch over Kaze. Jorge and Wanda understood. Corax wanted them to find some excuses to humiliate Kaze without angering Rose. After he left, Wanda said, “Rose, look at you. You are sweating from all the talking. You should take care of your image. Come on, let’s go to the toilet and fix your makeup.” Rose was indeed sweating and she was feeling uncomforta
“Finally he speaks! I thought he was mute!” “What are you going to do? Are you going to piss on the floor?” The men and women continued to laugh at him. Jorge looked askance at Kaze and said, “Retard, entertain us! I’m bored already!” “Now, now. I’ll be sure to satisfy you.” Kaze nodded strongly. Then, he lifted his sleeve and exercised his arm before swinging a slap at Jorge’s face. Bang! Jorge was taller and heavier than Kaze yet he spun twice on the spot before he fell on his butt. Splat! Jorge’s front teeth were knocked off, causing blood to ooze out like a fountain. “How does it feel? Exciting enough? You want more?” Kaze said with an evil smile as he looked at Jorge on the floor. He then looked at the others and his grin turned cold. “A bunch of idiots. Do you all want a slap on the face?” The entire bar was silenced. Kaze really fought back! It was an anticipated outcome because they would have a reason to beat him up, but Kaze’s slap was way too st
“Yeah! Beat the shit out of this idiot!” The women started to cheer on Jorge. “Bunch of idiots,” Kaze scoffed. He did not try to argue with them and instead walked closer to Jorge. “You must have a death wish!” Jorge narrowed his eyes fiercely as he saw Kaze walk up to him. He lifted his leg for a kick at Kaze’s chest. Kaze simply grabbed his ankle and swung his body onto the table. Bang! The table was crushed into pieces by Jorge’s tremendous body. “Argh!” He cried in pain as he curled up on the floor. The violent scene shocked the other men and caused the women to cry in fear. “I thought you guys wanted to break me. Come on, what are you waiting for?” Kaze went over to the others calmly and used his fists and kicks to knock them all out. In less than five seconds, all the other guys were down on the floor. “Shut up!” Kaze shouted at the screaming women, silencing them instantly. The screams were irritating to his ears. The women quickly covered the
Jorge covered his face and said angrily, “Young Master Corax, I’ve called for help. When our men arrive, we will break Kaze Lee and Rose will be all yours. “But Young Master Corax, this is getting too far. All this just to sleep with a little girl?” “No. Stop it.” Corax stared at Jorge and said coldly, “I just found out that Rose’s father is working under Vanik Clifford, the deputy commander of South River Strategic Department, and is currently transferred here to Lilyrose Strategic Department. “We cannot take her by force, only by brain.” Corax sighed with relief when he found out about Rose’s father. Even though he could not take her by force, her father was not powerful enough to deter him from trying other tactics. Therefore, Corax decided to use other softer tactics, such as making her drunk first before stripping her naked on the bed. At least it would look like both of them did it willingly. Until then, not even Rose’s parents could do anything about it. “What
“I supposed we can’t just go home empty stomach, am I right?” Kaze said with a smile. Corax chose not to argue with Kaze now. He had not revealed his vicious fangs, how could he let Kaze go? He would not want Kaze to leave without settling the score. Kaze held Rose’s hand and went over to the table that could seat more than thirty people. He sat down in the center and waited for the waiter to serve him delicious food. Corax said with a smile, “Kaze, I told the bar owner to order this delicious food from a Michelin star restaurant. I hope you can forget about our little misunderstanding.” “Hmmm. Not bad.” Kaze grabbed a drumstick and started eating. He did not care about how others looked at him. Jorge and the others chuckled softly. No one would choose to eat at a bar, except for this retard. He might be strong but he was still a useless retard. While Kaze was munching on his food, the bar’s waiter delivered a few cases of wine. The entire area was filled with t
However, the more resistant Rose was, the stronger Corax’s desire for her body. He lifted his glass and said to Kaze, “Kaze, I am so sorry about what happened earlier. Jorge and the others shouldn’t have given you a hard time. As the organizer of this gathering, I am responsible as well. I hereby apologize to you. “I’ll take three shots first to show my sincerity.” Then, Corax finished three glasses of wine in one go. Wanda then said, “Kaze, Young Master Corax apologized and drank three glasses to show his sincerity. Shouldn’t you do the same?” The others tried to persuade Kaze to drink, which was exactly what Corax was after. Kaze was a problem as long as he stayed. If Corax and the others were not able to take down Rose, they decided to go after Kaze first. Kaze glanced at everyone before he looked at Corax. He said with a curl of his lips, “I guess you’re right. If you already apologized and even took three shots, I should do the same.” He then picked up his glass
It never occurred to Kaze that Cyan and her influencer friends would attend Hannah’s celebration too. Before Cyan said anything, one influencer put her hand over her lips and said with a smile, “Get with the times, Anna. Cyan’s family isn’t just close with the senior members of the Viper’s Den. She’s going to be part of the organization soon.” “Huh?” Stunned, the other influencers asked, “What’s going on? Just tell us, Sweetpea!” Sweetpea was the influencer who just spilled the beans. She was Cyan’s closest friend and biggest ass-kisser. Taking Cyan by the shoulder, Sweetpea said, “Remember Cyan’s number one fan?” “Yeah!”“Sponge has been a fan of Cyan even before she signed with Golden Scale Corporation. Sponge tipped her tens of millions.”“That was how Cyan caught the eye of Golden Scale Corporation, and she became a hit.” The influencers chattered among themselves, all familiar with Sponge. They came from nothing and clawed their way up online.Their beginnings
The next afternoon, Kaze arrived at the parking lot outside Bronze Sparrow. It was packed with fancy cars. Needless to say, the underground garage must be filled with cars too. Hannah’s celebration was held in Bronze Sparrow. Just a few days ago, Siberian infiltrated Bronze Sparrow and abducted Anzu. The incident caused quite a stir in the upper crust of Riverbank. At the same time, the underground powerhouses were eager to get involved. As Miru, the up-and-coming underworld boss, seemed to be all bark and no bite, they wanted to see what she was made of. Bronze Sparrow, a place where troublemakers once ceased to exist, had to deal with incidents daily. Despite Miru getting tough on these troublemakers, business at Bronze Sparrow took a nosedive anyway. Miru was frustrated with the situation. Siberian had been a threat to the Viper’s Den for many years. It was no surprise that Miru’s crew could not defeat him. This time, Siberian’s death at the hands of the Viper’s
Kaze was taken aback. “How did you know?” “How?” June’s lips curled. “It’s all over town by now. Darcy is the chairwoman of Sky Ocean Corporation. Have you any idea how many eyes are on a rich and beautiful girl like her? “Her divorce has caught the attention of men, and they are going to try their luck with her.” It did not take Kaze much to know that the Quint family members had nothing better to do. Agnes had been hoping to marry her daughter up. However, Darcy had the power, money, and connections to be playing with the big leagues herself. Agnes’ expectations for her future son-in-law would only go higher. Despite her lack of brain cells, Agnes would not do something degrading like circulating the news of her daughter’s divorce. “Hey! Why do you seem indifferent about this?” June elbowed Kaze. “How do you think I should react?” Kaze found June baffling. June looked disappointed. “You don’t seem upset that you were dumped.” “Get a life.” Kaze did not hav
Sasha regained consciousness through sheer willpower. She had made a full recovery from her external injuries, but she simply could not wake up from her mental trauma. However, Sasha seemed to be in a better place than before the incident. Before, Sasha would avert her gaze, not meeting the eyes of the person she was talking to. Yet now, Kaze realized that Sasha looked at him straight in the eyes. There had to be some sort of experience to bring about the change in her. “Did something bad happen, Kaze?” Sasha asked, her eyes reflecting concern. Kaze pulled himself together and reached out to shuffle her hair. “No. Let’s not get into it. You just got up. You should rest well.” “No, I’ve been awake for a while now.” Sasha, one to be meek in Kaze’s presence, refuted him for once. She shook her head and said, “I was just afraid. I was scared that the nightmare would come back when I opened my eyes, so I pretended to be asleep. “But now that you’re here, I have no reason
Agnes settled down. “That’s right. We are better off without the parasite. “We will live comfortably thanks to our precious daughter—” “Darcy! Darcy!” Before Agnes could finish, an individual barged into the villa. Maxine, her hair disheveled and her body in bruises, rushed into the living room and grabbed hold of Darcy while wailing, “Darcy! I was wrong! I was a snob to target you! It’s all my fault. I’m the worst!” She gave herself a couple of slaps before pleading, “Darcy, I need Kaze’s help. Please, can you get him to tell Patrick to get back together with me?“Ever since I broke up with Patrick, he befriended Kaze and became successful. He calls the shots in his family now.“I’m being made fun of for not cherishing him. My parents, brother, and grandmother are on my case, telling me off for missing out on a good catch. “Darcy, we’re family. Please, can you talk to Kaze for me? Patrick doesn’t listen to anyone else but him.” Maxine, who always fancied herself to be
The Quint quickly realized they were so close to digging their own grave. Thankfully, they did not upset Darcy too much. They had a lot of ass-kissing to make up for now. Smug, Agnes went up and said, “Thank you for working together with Darcy. I know that you put the project on pause because you were tight with Kaze. “But my daughter and Kaze have separated. Don’t listen to him if he tries to get involved with Sky Ocean Corporation. “Kaze gets nothing out of the divorce, so he can’t offer you anything. You are free to collaborate with my daughter.” Perfect World Group and the Riverbank council were responsive to put the project on hold because of Kaze. However, Agnes was not the least bit grateful. In fact, she tried to acquire Kaze’s network. In her opinion, Kaze had lost everything. A wise person would choose to make the most out of the situation and make a business deal with Darcy. Blue from Perfect World Group put on a straight face. “Mrs. Quint, I have one more th
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
