Trent was able to maintain power in the political scene for many years because of his awareness. He did not accept Samson’s offer right away. Instead, he tried to challenge the new mayor in multiple public appearances, trying to oppress the young one with his experience. It was all because he wanted to test how Kaze would react. After testing for a few times, Kaze remained silent, hence Trent’s conclusion. “Bring them in. We’ll see if he can continue to be the mayor after this meeting,” Trent said to his secretary. Kan’s eyes gleamed. If Trent had decided to pull Kaze down from the position, he might get a chance to be the successor. “Yes, Master Fuller.” Kan nodded and went to the gate. At the gate, Kan frowned at what he saw. A young man in his late 20s was smoking outside the gate. How could he be so unruly and disrespectful when paying a visit to Master Fuller’s mansion? He did not even wear a formal suit. He wore a set of jerseys and a pair of running sho
Trent’s expression turned grim. Kaze’s appearance reminded him of the embarrassment that happened at Leigh’s place. “Hmph! I was deceived by that useless and deceitful guy! I’ve checked his contact at the Lilyrose Strategic Department and there’s nothing about him. I bet he’s just a nameless soldier or whatever.” He was frightened away by Draco the other day and his grandson, Pete, also got a slap. It became a stain in his life. “Master Fuller, calm down.” Kan calmed the man down and then switched the topic. “Master Fuller, Sieg Lyfe of the Lyfe family from Geranium City contacted me and said he wanted to visit you.” “The Lyfe family from Geranium? The young man who took control of Rove as soon as he arrived in Lilyrose?” Trent’s anger was replaced by curiosity. Kan nodded. “Yes. Young Master Sieg said on behalf of his family, he wanted to talk to you about the new projects in Lilyrose.” “I see…” Trent knew how much the construction projects held in profits. O
“Hi, I am Darcy Quint.” Darcy slightly frowned but she was not surprised at Corax's reaction. She politely said, “I heard that Mr. Durant is from Geranium, so to show our Lilyrose hospitality, I have told the restaurant to prepare some local specialty. “Let’s have a drink after the meal as well.” As soon as Darcy’s words subsided, she saw Corax’s face turn pale. Slam! Wanda slammed the table and bellowed, “Ms. Quint, are you doing this on purpose? You still want to drink with Young Master Corax? Alcohol is poison to us!” She might sound fierce but when she mentioned alcohol, there was an obvious fear on her face. Darcy’s expression turned heavy. She wondered why they were so rude. The first thought that rushed into her mind was to walk away. However, she soon realized Corax and Wanda were not angry at her. It was because she used the wrong words and it reminded them of something unhappy. Darcy noticed Corax’s sickly face. One of his followers even handed him a piece o
One man versus a dozen in a game of drinking and single-handedly knocked them all out. In the end, all of them were sent to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. If it made the headlines, Corax and his followers would be the biggest joke in their social circle. Not only would they be the biggest joke, but no one would sympathize with them because they got it coming. Grievance built up in them but they had no place to vent it out. “Ms. Quint, let’s skip the chatters.” Corax ignored Darcy’s question and said coldly, “Since we are already there, we must solve this one way or another. “I have two conditions.” Corax put his fingers out. “First, Kaze Lee must kneel before me and I will break his leg. “Second, you and Rose shall sleep with me tonight. “If you agree to these two conditions, I will forgive your husband about last night. Or else, I shall let you have a taste of despair.” Corax sounded like he already had the situation in the bag. Darcy was shaking out of an
“One sexy and one adorable! Young Master Corax is in for a treat tonight! Hehe…” Jorge and the others laughed pervertedly. “Corax Durant, you bastard!” Darcy flushed strongly. She swung a slap at Corax’s face. She had always been a peaceful person yet even she could not tolerate the insult and swing a slap at the bastard. She was truly irritated. Thuck! Corax caught her by the wrist and grinned. “Bastard? I’m a monster in bed! Do you want to give it a try? “Darcy, I know you and your husband are quite influential in Lilyrose. I heard that even Leigh Glitter can’t get his way with you two, but I’m not as stupid as him. I wouldn’t fight a losing war. I come to you means I have absolute confidence. “Before our meeting, Trent Fuller was having tea at my cousin’s place. He has been in power for twenty years. You should know how influential and powerful he is. “Be it wealth or power, you and your husband are no match for me. If I were you, I would just give in and sleep wit
Dynasty Hotel was not just equipped with the best rooms and service. It also had professional printers for their daily promotional use. A while later, the owner came back with a stack of printed photos. “Have a look.” Kaze grabbed a stack and scattered them across the room. The room was raining with photos, scattering across the table. The colors in the photo looked vivid and bright. One of the photos showed Jorge sitting in his own vomit with his eyes rolled back. One of the photos showed Wanda curling her arms around one of Corax’s followers. There was even a photo with Corax covering his head on the table like a scared puppy, puking and peeing himself. …The photos captured their embarrassing moments in high definition. When they got drunk, their dignified images were gone. “Kaze Lee! You bastard! How dare you take pictures of us!” “You fucker!” Everyone in the room cried in shock. They picked up the photos nervously and tore them into pieces. Once the
“We are not professionally trained, so beating us doesn’t mean anything, Kaze Lee! Young Master Corax’s bodyguards are the best of the best and they can crush you with their fingers!” “Fool! You think you are the strongest because you beat us up?” The others who got beaten up by Kaze last night started to provoke him. “Enough.” Corax raised his hand at his friends as he stared at Kaze coldly. “Kaze Lee, if you think you can stall until the police arrive, then you are terribly wrong. “Not even the police can stop me. Other than us, no third party will know about what happened last night. We will shut your mouth and then go after your wife and your sister-in-law! All of you will suffer my wrath!” His gaze had brazen murderous intentions for Kaze. “Darcy, you guys go ahead.” Kaze pushed the worried Darcy out of the room. When the other guild members left, he closed the door and locked it. “Corax, do you know that I don’t care who you are or who your cousin is at Geranium
“Ugh…” Kaze pressed Corax’s face against the table. The pain on his face made him want to scream but his voice was stuck in his throat. All he could make was muffled noise. “I have never heard of such a strange request.” Kaze looked at Corax coldly. “What gives you the idea that I don’t dare to hit you? You even threaten my wife, my sister-in-law, and my in-laws? You asked for it, how could I not grant you the wish?” Kaze then pulled Corax’s head up and grabbed the half-smoked cigarette to shove it into his mouth. “Aargh!” The cigarette burned Corax’s tongue and caused smoke to seep out from his mouth. The pain drove him mad. His eyes were bloodshot and his face flushed. He shook his head strongly, trying to break free from Kaze’s clutches. However, Kaze continued to push his chin upward with his strong hand, sealing his mouth completely. The cigarette in Corax’s mouth was extinguished soon due to the lack of oxygen. Corax was already exhausted from all the strugg
