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
Screams of pain sounded like a symphony inside the room. Everyone was shocked by how powerful Kaze was. Not even the bodyguards could subdue him. It was at that moment that Jorge and the others realized Kaze was not even serious last night. “Kaze Lee! What are you doing? Stay away from me!” Jorge screamed in fear when he saw Kaze looking at him. Bang! Kaze went up to the man and slapped him to the floor. “What do I want? Other than that bastard, you are the most annoying!” Jorge fell on his butt. He covered his head in fear as he looked at Kaze. He was aggrieved. He blinked nervously as he tried to hide his emotions but he could not. He said, “Kaze Lee, do you have any idea who my sister is? She is…” Slap! Kaze slapped him once more, forcing the words back into his mouth. “Don’t you think it’s meaningless to say that now?” Jorge clenched his teeth tightly to hold his urge to talk back. His eyes were filled with hatred. Then, Wanda said timidly, “K-Kaze L
“Come on. Your job now is to accompany your husband to have lunch and not care about that lousy stuff.” Kaze grabbed Darcy’s hand and went upstairs to the VIP room under the owner’s guide. They usually had lunch on the first floor and did not care about how expensive the food was. Since Corax and friends were about to call for reinforcement, Kaze did not want Darcy to be involved. Strangely, even after lunch, Corax and friends had not contacted anyone to come to the hotel. “Darcy, why don’t you go back first?” Kaze told the Lilyrose Commerce Guild members to send her home. He even contacted Conan to secretly escort Darcy along the way. All Conan needed to do was escort Darcy back to Skylar View District since no one would be foolish enough to hurt her beyond that area. Rose and his in-laws were at home, so Kaze did not have to worry. While Kaze and Darcy had lunch, Corax finally got up on his feet with the help of his friends. He bellowed, “Call for help! If ten isn’t
Conan was speechless. If Kaze had not been able to make the Queens bow to him by force, Conan would doubt where Kaze got his confidence. “Go watch the guild,” Kaze said as he sent Conan up. “Bro, you are going to stay here alone?” Conan was surprised. “They might call in a lot of help…” “No matter how many people they called, they are all trash. You watch the guild and stop them from causing trouble,” Kaze said calmly. He was just worried that Corax might sneak up on the guild while keeping him busy. “No problem!” Conan nodded and went into the elevator. At the same time, a motorcade consisting of more than a hundred expensive cars arrived outside the hotel. All the cars of different brands were eye candy. Judging from the number plates, they were not just local cars. Some of them came from the neighboring cities. All of them arrived within an hour and it was all because of Corax and his friends. Corax and his friends used every connection they had to gather t
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
