Kaze looked at Corax with a soft smile, finally revealing his true intention. He was only interested in Sieg. Since he would eventually cross paths with Sieg, he might as well confront Sieg now. Corax said coldly, “Kaze Lee, you better be joking.” “I’m dead serious. To be honest, if I really break all your arms and legs, all the hospitals in the city will be crowded today. “I prefer to keep a low profile and avoid making the news as it will only make me look violent. Things would be different if you brought your cousin here, I just need to break his legs. And it is also for your own good, Corax Durant. “One man’s medical fee is much less than three hundred. Even an idiot knows how to choose.” When they heard Kaze, not only Corax, but even the three hundred people laughed at him. Did he have any idea what he was talking about? Be it breaking three hundred arms and legs or breaking Sieg’s legs, both sounded ridiculous. How could Kaze spew those words without laughing?
Jorge was surprised. He saw the evil grin on Kaze’s face and instantly understood what that meant. Kaze was hinting at Jorge’s sister getting into power with her body. Like a cat’s tail being stepped on, Jorge stomped his foot and shouted, “You piece of shit! How dare you talk about my sister like that?! You are fucking dead!” As soon as his shout subsided, a car drove into the parking lot. The owner of Dynasty Hotel had already sealed off the parking lot for this confrontation, so the car that was allowed inside would either be on Corax’s side or Kaze’s side. However, it was obvious that it was someone from Corax’s side. “Hmph! I knew that’s my sister’s car!” Jorge grinned. He then walked out of the crowd and went over to the car. Kaze glanced at the car but the crowd blocked his sight. “Damn it! Who beat you up?” A frosty voice shouted from the back of the crowd. Charlotte looked at her brother’s swollen face angrily. Jorge said, “Some punk ass prick who has a
Charlotte’s arrival boosted Corax’s confidence. Even though he had never met her and only heard of her through Jorge because they were in different circles, knowing that Charlotte served Astral still boosted his confidence immensely. He felt even more confident than having his cousin around. No matter how strong the Geranium Four were, Geranium City was just an island south of the mainland. The strongest families in that city had yet to expand their influence in the mainland, where Lilyrose was located. Maybe it was the reason why Kaze, the fool, had the confidence to challenge Sieg. Charlotte, however, was different. Astral, as the eldest son of the Glitters, was probably one of the strongest persons in the entire South River State. He could easily crush a nameless idiot with a thumb. Since Charlotte was his personal assistant, she was able to represent him to a certain extent. With her around, no matter the background or support, anyone could be crushed easily, let al
Charlotte never thought it would be Kaze. A sudden realization struck her the moment she laid eyes on Kaze. Lilyrose Commerce Guild’s headquarters was located in Dynasty Hotel and Kaze’s wife was the president of the guild. She should have known better! Charlotte’s face turned pale. Her anger and confidence disappeared into nothing and were replaced by fear. Her legs started to shake. She could never forget what happened at Landor Residential Area. Astral, the man whom she served and who was like a god to her, knelt on the floor and begged Kaze to spare his life. After Kaze left, Astral fell sick. He was troubled by nightmares and had a constant fever. He would scream Kaze’s name in fear while he was asleep. He only started getting better last night. The eldest son of the Glitters was frightened by Kaze’s violent and brutal methods, which should make the headlines if the news got out. “K-K-K…” Charlotte’s shaking lips failed to speak Kaze’s name. Her mind
“Kaze Lee, if this gets to Young Master Astral, you will be dead!” “You ignorant fool! Young Master Astral did not need to deal with you himself. Looking at you is simply a waste of time. Charlotte here is more than enough to crush you!” “Yeah. Charlotte is Young Master Astral’s personal assistant. What makes you think she will go easy on you?” “Kaze Lee, your destruction is caused not only by your ignorance but also by your arrogance!” Everyone criticized Kaze for being overconfident. Even the female partners who were just there for a show mocked and laughed at Kaze. Astral was the eldest son of the Glitters and the founder of Astral Wealth Management. His titles alone made the women side with him naturally. Their authoritarian personalities made Astral their ideal male partner. Among all the women at the scene, Wanda reacted the fiercest. She came out from the crowd, looking angry and excited, and moved her left face closer to Kaze. She bellowed angrily, “Kaze L
Kaze chuckled and said, “Jorge, what is in your brain? Shit? Didn’t you notice? I’ve been talking for so long and your sister doesn’t even make a sound.” “What the fuck did you call me? I’ll fucking kill you!” Jorge was upset and he still could not understand what Kaze meant. Kaze was speechless. “Fine. My bad.” Just when Jorge thought he won the little argument, Kaze explained, “It’s not shit in your brain, it’s your brain is made of shit!” “FUCK! I’ll fuck you up!” Jorge was fuming. He rolled his sleeves up and wanted to challenge Kaze physically again. “Jorge!” Charlotte finally spoke. She screamed her brother’s name to stop him from courting death. Her expression turned grim. Slap! She swung a slap at Jorge’s face. The slap stunned Jorge, and the others behind him. Kaze provoked them, insulted them, and slapped Wanda twice, yet Charlotte did not say a word. Just when Jorge wanted to beat up Kaze, his sister slapped him. What happened? Jorge regained hi
“Don’t just stand there, you know my rules.” Kaze stopped Charlotte before she finished. “Charlotte, what does he mean by rules?” Jorge asked curiously. The others were similarly curious as well. Charlotte froze. She knew what Kaze meant by his rules. Leigh wanted to take nude pictures of Darcy and scatter them across the city, but he was the one who got punished in the same way. Astral wanted to strip Kaze naked, tie him under the helicopter, and fly around the city, but he, too, became the one who got punished. Charlotte looked at Kaze in fear. Her eyes were teary as she begged, “K-Kaze, I…” However, when she saw the cold look on Kaze’s face, she knew words would no longer work. Kaze would become the most stubborn man in the world when it involved his wife and he would take revenge no matter what. “Fine!” Charlotte bit the bullet and moved her hands to her shirt, unbuttoning the first button. Jorge was stunned for a moment before he realized what Charlotte was
Many were speechless but not as shocked as before. Kaze was able to order Charlotte to strip herself down to her underwear, so ordering her to slap her own brother was not too surprising. However, the crowd was still confused. Kaze was a useless guy who married into his wife’s family. His wife might be the president of Lilyrose Commerce Guild but she was not that powerful. Why would Charlotte be so afraid of him? They could not wrap their heads around it. Jorge was stunned. Outraged, he shouted, “What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you so afraid of him? He’s just a useless wife moocher!” He wanted to kill Kaze, why would he kneel? Charlotte was upset by her brother’s stubbornness. Her stupid brother did not know she was trying to save him. If Astral had to kneel before the useless guy, so would he! “Are you kneeling or not?!” Charlotte went up to slap Jorge again. Slap! “You don’t need to know who he is! You made a mistake by trying to get his sister-
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
