Mary Sue narrowed her frosty eyes. She got up from the chair and sauntered over to Daphne. No one in the room dared to make a noise as they watched her movement nervously. Hart quickly stepped in front of Daphne and then said, “Ms. Roberts, please. Daphne is still young…” “Out of my way!” Mary Sue bellowed and glared at him. Hart tried to argue but one of Mary Sue’s followers, a bald middle-aged man, came over. “Move, old man!” The man grabbed Hart by the neck and shoved him to the floor. Hart grunted in pain when he hit the floor. The expression on his face was proof that the fall really hurt. Daphne was shocked. “Dad…” Slap! As soon as the word escaped Daphne’s mouth, Mary Sue slapped her in the face. A clear slap mark appeared on Daphne’s face. “What was that?!” Daphne covered her face and shouted. Her eyes teared up due to the pain. Mary Sue remained frosty. “A girl who does not know manners must be taught a lesson!” The others in the family gloated
Syed and the other family members were also scared. One strike from the whip could easily lacerate the skin. Mary Sue furrowed her brows. “Be careful with that, Stone. Don’t ruin her face. We cannot allow a disfigured girl to marry into the family.” “Don’t worry, Mary Sue. I’ve been practicing the whip for years and I’ve used it on live targets as well. I never missed. I assure you the girl’s face would be spared,” Stone said casually. Judging from Stone’s tone, he seemed to be at the same rank as Mary Sue. He then looked at the terrified Daphne and grinned. “Don’t worry, I will only whip you where you have clothes on. It’s painful but it won’t leave a mark. After all, the madam chose you as her future daughter-in-law.” Daphne shivered in fear when she saw Stone’s perverted grin. Her mind even went numb. Hart teared up watching her daughter being threatened. He tried his best to get up and shouted, “Daphne, run! Go! Go find help! Look for Mr. Lee!” The shout brought D
Syed and his family were delighted. Then, Syed glanced at Daphne and realized that the girl would soon be the wife of Kingston and the daughter-in-law of Madam Hacks. What if Daphne accepted her cruel fate and decided to play the role of an obedient wife and daughter-in-law? She might receive praise from Madam Hacks. If Syed and his family offended her now, she might come back for them in the future. After all, no matter what Syed and his family did for Madam Hacks, they could not possibly compete with Daphne given her role. With that, Syed immediately said, “Ms. Roberts, let me talk to the girl. She’s going to marry Young Master Kingston soon, and I think it’s best to keep her healthy, am I right?” Mary Sue crossed her arms and stared at the aggrieved Daphne. She ultimately nodded and gave Syed the chance. “Fine. I will give her another chance to do better.” Syed nodded and then went over to Daphne. He said, “Daphne, you are my niece. I really do not want to see you
The loud bang shocked everyone, causing them to look at the entrance. Mary Sue and Stone were surprised as well. Both of them looked at the entrance with anger. Stone was furious. He was about to enjoy the pleasure of torturing a girl but was interrupted. It fueled his anger even more. At the entrance was an emotionless young man, sauntering into the room. “Kaze!” Daphne was the first to react and she cried excitedly. “What? Kaze Lee?!” Everyone else was surprised. No one expected Kaze to barge into the mansion alone and it seemed like he was the one who kicked down the doors. It was a provocative act to the Lyfe family. “So, you are the one who got Young Master Kingston arrested,” Mary Sue spoke condescendingly. She glared at him fiercely, like a viper looking at its prey. “Yeah! Ms. Roberts, he’s the one!” “This guy here got lucky and helped Rove go viral, but he got greedy and claimed all the credits for himself. He’s a shameless bastard!” “Now that he’s
“Kaze, be careful! They are all Gareth Hornberg’s men from Sunrise City!” Unlike Syed and the others who gloated at Kaze, Daphne shouted to warn Kaze, worried that he would get hurt. She saw how Kaze fought before but these men were unlike Lil Dee’s bodyguards. She was afraid that Kaze might underestimate them for not knowing their background. “Shut up! Don’t you try to help him!” Syed shouted at her. He and his family wished that Stone and his men would break Kaze for good so that Kaze could not come after them anymore. “That’s fine. Let her shout however she wants,” Stone said without being too concerned. He laughed and said, “No matter how careful you are, you are not going to escape from them. I brought them here from Sunrise and they are all experts who fight in underground matches! Kaze Lee would be crushed easily…” Before he could finish, a figure was hurled in front of him with a painful cry. Shocked, Stone quickly took a step back to avoid the person and had
Unfortunately, Stone’s assumption betrayed him this time. Kaze did not stop. He went up to Stone and said, “Give it to me.” He extended his hand at Stone. Stone had a nervous glance at the whip in his hand. A quick internal struggle later, he tossed it to Kaze and said, “Here, you can have it. Let’s sit down and ta—” Whip! Before he could finish, Kaze swung the whip at Stone’s chest. Stone’s shirt was ripped and a terrifying laceration wound could be seen. “Aaaaargh! Kaze Lee! How dare you whip me!” Stone screamed in pain as he covered his chest. He glared at Kaze and shouted, “My uncle is Gareth Hornberg, the grandmaster of Sunrise! You and your family are dead!” “Nonsense.” Kaze whipped him again. Clap! This whip landed on Stone’s face, disfiguring his cheek as bits and pieces of flesh fell off with blood spewing. “Aaaaaargh!” Stone fell to the floor. He covered his disfigured face and screamed excruciatingly. The gory scene shocked everyone in the room,
“Uh…” The Lyfe family was shocked. They did not expect Kaze to still whip Syed after Mary Sue mentioned Madam Hacks. Mary Sue’s face turned as pale as paper and the fluctuation of emotions made her expression bitter. “You little bastard! How dare you do that in front of…” Before she could even finish, the whip struck her mouth, almost ripping her face off. “Aaaaaaargh!” She fell to the floor, covering her mouth as she twisted and twirled. Everyone else in the room gasped in shock. Kaze struck Mary Sue! What a lunatic! A moment ago, they thought Kaze would stop and surrender to Mary Sue. At the next moment, Kaze used his actions to show them his decision. Fear and horror descended upon everyone in the Lyfe family. “You, you, you, and you. Get over here.” Kaze pointed at a few of the Lyfe family members. They were those who clamored to break him and wanted Stone to whip Daphne and Hart. When they were called out, their legs turned weak and almost fell on t
Everyone in the ward shivered in fear when they heard Madam Hacks’ frosty voice. The consequences of getting Madam Hacks angry were severe. “Madam, you have to be careful. He’s powerful. I only just found out that he beat up four disciples under Grandmaster Hornberg. If you want to target him, I think you have to get an ace killer from Geranium,” Mary Sue said fiercely. After being hospitalized, Mary Sue learned from her mistake and no longer dared to underestimate Kaze. Madam Hacks furrowed her brows and said, “Kingston’s matter is a little troublesome. I am still trying to buy my way in to get him out, I cannot afford to be distracted now. I guess I’ll have to send Gareth to deal with that bastard first.” Mary Sue’s eyes gleamed with hope. If it was the grandmaster, Kaze would surely be dead. Gareth remained a pillar in the martial arts world in Sunrise for many years and he had many disciples under him. Many who trained under him had grown to be famous martial artist
