“Who are you people?” Bernard’s driver yelled sternlyBernard’s, Peter’s, and Jack’s bodyguards got out of the cars immediately. They were on standby outside the Lyfes’ residence, so they did not recognize Mary Sue. “Who are we? We are here to finish you off.” Mary Sue, the leader, sneered. Her head was wrapped in a bandage. She was backed by a dozen of Gareth’s disciples and two quiet men. “Let’s just get straight to it. Take them!” At the wave of Mary Sue’s arm, six individuals lunged toward the family heads’ drivers and bodyguards. Even at one-against-one, the drivers and bodyguards were overpowered by Gareth’s minions.The drivers and bodyguards howled in pain as they were knocked down, their legs crippled by the relentless assault.“Tap, tap.” Mary Sue approached Bernard’s car and knocked on the window. She said gleefully, “What? Don’t you recognize me anymore? “Get out of the car. It’s pointless to hide in there.” Soon, Bernard stepped out of the car with
Wolf smiled and followed Sven. “Ugh…” “Ow!” A spine-tingling scene ensued. In an echo of screams, Sven and Wolf knocked down fifty to sixty security officers. “Uh…” Bernard and his friends gasped sharply as the bloodthirsty duo charged and wrecked the crowd. Chills went up their spine. Even Mary Sue and Gareth’s disciples felt an unsettling feeling pricking under their skin. Sven and Wolf were terrifying. They lived up to their titles as the strongest in the underground fighting ring. Sven and Wolf quickly walked back after finishing off close to sixty opponents, reeking of the stench of blood. Mary Sue shuddered and said, “Please handle these assholes. Grandmaster Hornberg wants them to suffer.” Bernard and his friends went weak behind the legs and sank to the ground. They looked at Sven and Wolf dejectedly, lost for words. “This will be quick,” Sven said, his brows furrowed. He then went up and broke one arm of theirs before circling back to his spot.
“The orthopedic hospital,” Conan replied. As Bernard, Peter, Jack, and the security officers suffered bone fractures, they were sent to the orthopedic hospital.It was the best place to treat broken bones because Rowan, the hospital director, was a student of Sam. Kaze nodded. “Come on. Let’s check it out.” “Are you heading to the hospital? I can visit them on your behalf.” Conan persuaded, “Word has been going around that Gareth hasn’t assaulted you because you have been taking cover in Skylar View District. Gareth’s men could not barge into a military-protected area.“Sven and Wolf might come after you if you leave the area.” Conan knew Kaze was strong. Kaze sorted out the three titans without a hitch. However, word on the street that the three titans were not on Sven and Wolf’s level. Sven and Wolf ruled the underground boxing, and at least a dozen illegal fighters died at their hands. Kaze smiled indifferently. “Well, I’ll make sure they don’t have a chance to fi
Sensing the confidence in Kaze’s silence, Conan said nothing more. Upon leaving, Kaze took notice of the craning necks and prying eyes outside the hospital. These people looked shocked when they saw Kaze. “They must be trying to get inside information. Gareth has sparked panic all across Lilyrose,” Conan said. As Conan mentioned, tensions were running high within Lilyrose’s high society. Gareth took rather ruthless approaches.As the top-tiered families like Vikroms, Logmans, and Joestars did not take Gareth’s side, the family heads, together with their sixty security officers altogether, were attacked viciously. Those who chose to support Gareth were excited. Gareth’s display of dominance only proved that they made the right choice. Those who chose to stand with Kaze like the family heads or had not made a stand felt uneasy. Many were afraid that they would be Gareth’s next target. Gareth made it clear at the event last night that they were either with him or agains
Gareth was furious but he did not lose his cool. Kaze striding toward the hospital openly might be a trap since he was not someone to be messed with. Gareth did not want to take the slightest risk. If he had to go after Kaze, he would do it in a controlled environment. With that, Gareth waved his hand and said, “Tell me, who should we go after next?” “Mr. Hornberg, I have an idea.” Syed, who had been looking for a chance to flatter Gareth, finally got his chance to speak. “Speak.” Gareth picked up his cup of tea without even looking at Syed. Syed smiled and said, “Mr. Hornberg, yesterday, other than Bernard and the other two family heads, Hart was the one who spoke the loudest. He even tried to embarrass you, so I think we should go after him first.” “You’re right.” Gareth nodded in agreement. “Hart, that old geezer. He acts like he has the moral high ground and makes me look like a villain. I have been wanting to teach him some manners, but Rove is under the spotl
With just a small suggestion, Syed had won Gareth’s trust. Not only was he promised to have Rove, but his future would be bright as well. The entire family was thrilled. …Meanwhile in Red Star Charity’s office. Daphne organized a team to volunteer at the Old District and visit the less fortunate. The team was waiting to get on the bus. “Daphne, come on in!” Someone from inside the bus called her. Daphne was a capable young lady. She had just gotten the position a while ago but she was able to adapt quickly and arranged everything nicely. All the other volunteers and workers respected her. “Coming!” Daphne went through the list of equipment and food they brought one last time before getting onto the bus. Suddenly, Mary Sue and several of Gareth’s disciples came up to her. “Daphne Lyfe, come with us to the Lyfes’ residence.” Daphne was slightly scared when she saw Mary Sue. Asking her to go back to the Lyfe family without any solid reason was anything but
Back at the Lyfes’ residence, Daphne was locked up in the courtyard after she was taken back. It was the same place where she and her family were imprisoned before. Gareth’s disciples kept watch. Their eyes were glued to Daphne, which made her feel unsettled. The way the men looked at her made her feel uncomfortable. It was not until she overheard two of them whispering that she found out their evil plans for her. “Master has given the word. If Kaze Lee doesn’t show up during lunch, we can have fun with this girl. Think about it, playing with the future wife of Kingston Hacks, hehe…” “I can’t wait! I hope Kaze Lee doesn’t show up at all! Look at her, she’s gorgeous! I bet she’s tight!” Daphne’s face turned pale when she heard them. As the time approached lunch hour, the fear and despair in her grew. While basking in despair, time ticked slower than usual, which felt tormenting for Daphne. Finally, the time was up. “How unfortunate. You two are not interested in wo
Daphne’s begging did not work. It only aroused them even more. Then, one of Gareth’s disciples looked at Sven and Wolf with a flattering smile and said, “Champs, you want to have a go first?” Sven remained unfazed and emotionless. He did not even look at the man. Wolf was smiling innocently as he looked at Gareth’s disciples. No one knew what he was thinking behind that smile. The unusual reaction scared the disciples. They somehow instinctively clenched their crotch. They heard their master say these two champions were not interested in women. Could they be gay? “Uh, if you two don’t want to have a go, we’ll start then…” The disciple started to take off his clothes. While Daphne was drowning in despair, Sven and Wolf suddenly turned to a certain direction in the courtyard. Someone had appeared without their knowledge. The man sauntered forward with a frosty look. His footsteps were silent as if he was weightless—it was Kaze. Gareth’s disciples did not notice
