While trapped in a limited space with no room for dodging, Kaze twisted his waist into a freaky position to dodge all four of the punches. At the same time, he threw his punches to the left and right. As he exerted his strength, two of Gareth’s disciples were punched away. Bang! Two of them were sent crashing on the ground further away. Even the bricks on the ground cracked on impact. The two of them bleed profusely as they suffered multiple broken bones. A few more twitches later, their bodies stopped moving and lost all signs of life. The remaining two disciples gasped in shock as their expressions shifted. They did not expect Kaze to dodge their punches that easily and eliminated two of their peers with two punches. Before they could react, Kaze kicked the disciple in front of him in the stomach. Thump! The disciple was sent flying back, crashing onto the wall. Before he even slipped down, his eyes lost focus and life quickly faded from his body. “Champs! Hel
Kaze checked on Daphne and asked with a smile, “Can you walk?” “Yeah.” Daphne wiped her tears and got up. She was a strong young lady. Even though she was scared, she was able to walk properly. “Come on.” Kaze brought Daphne away through the crumbled walls; Sven and Wolf followed him. It had only been less than two minutes since Kaze arrived and the fight had already ended. Meanwhile, in the residence, Gareth was having tea in the living hall, sitting on the main seat. He had sent Mary Sue somewhere else.Firstly, if the police found out about the situation, he could shift the blame to her. Secondly, he did not want Mary Sue to know that he instructed his disciples to defile Daphne. He sipped tea from his cup and glanced at the bracket clock. He chuckled and said, “Lunchtime is over and Kaze Lee didn’t even show up. That young lady is going to pay for his absence.” He knew his disciples were perverts and they would ravage Daphne without hesitation. If it was
“She’s just a girl, what can I possibly do to her?” Gareth leaned back on the seat, looking confident and relaxed. “You better…” Hart breathed a sigh of relief. He somehow thought Gareth still had a conscience. However, at the next moment, he was once again shocked. Gareth frivolously said, “But my disciples are with her, alone. You know what would happen when some boys got together with a girl? That’s for them to decide.” Hart’s expression shifted. His eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, “Gareth Hornberg, if you lay a finger on Daphne, I will drag you down to hell!” Gareth scoffed. He did not even regard it seriously. Drag him down to hell? Even if Hart had a hundred lives, it would not be enough to take down Gareth. Gareth grinned and said, “Mr. Lyfe, calm down. Your daughter refused to marry Kingston Hacks, so to take revenge, I gave her a choice to cheat on him before the wedding. She should be grateful.” “Gareth! I’ll kill you!” Hart shouted as he darted for
When Hart found out Daphne was abducted, he texted her but did not get a reply. Then, when Daphne got rescued, she texted back her friends and family who contacted her to let them know she was safe. She did not mention who saved her but Hart knew it could only be Kaze. Given Kaze’s personality, he would never sit back when Daphne was in danger. “Kaze Lee? How is it possible?!” Gareth’s disciples and the other members of the Lyfe family refused to believe it. Aside from the fact that Kaze might not be capable of killing four of Gareth’s disciples, he still had to go through Sven and Wolf even if he was strong enough. Sven and Wolf were powerful enough to take out sixty bodyguards from the Vikroms, Joestars, and Logmans. How could Kaze get past them alone? Then, Hart gave Kaze a call. He had to confirm it himself. After a brief call, Hart put down his phone, looking relieved. Kaze confirmed it himself that he saved Daphne and even put her on the phone to talk to her
“Get him off the premises!” Gareth raised his hand, signaling his disciples to throw Hart out of the residence. Then, he summoned Mary Sue back and said to her, “You have an hour to find out where Sven and Wolf are. If they are dead, I want to see their bodies.” The last few words were squeezed out of his furiously clenched teeth. If he could locate Sven and Wolf, his questions would be answered! He tried to contact the two of them via the phone but he could not reach them. “I understand!” Mary Sue nodded and left to carry out the order immediately. She felt that Gareth was a ticking time bomb that might explode at any moment. Staying close would only endanger herself. The Lyfe family shared the same thought. They stood beside Gareth quietly and obediently. Little did anyone know, Gareth was actually nervous, a little scared. His hands were even gripping the arm of the chair without him realizing it. Time flew by. An hour later, Mary Sue came back and fell on
Mary Sue carefully asked, “Grandmaster Hornberg, that little bastard wants you to turn yourself in and he doesn’t sound like he’s fooling around. Now that Sven and Wolf are missing…” Then, Syed stepped in and said, “Ms. Roberts, you worry too much. Even without Sven and Wolf, Mr. Hornberg can kill Kaze Lee easily. The more he plays with fire, the faster he will get burned!” Knowing that Kaze did not defeat Sven and Wolf, Syed and his family were relieved, or else it would be horrifying. Syed’s flattery did not cheer up Gareth. It made him think even more and his expression turned serious. Everyone was surprised, including his disciples. They did not know what Gareth was concerned about given his strength. He could easily kill Kaze single-handedly, so what was there to worry about? Gareth noticed the questioning gazes on him. He wore a serious look and coldly said, “Mary Sue, I want you to deliver a message to Kaze Lee. “He’s fooling around with us like a clown, and if h
Gareth knew he could not beat Kaze in a fair fight. If he really went to Kaze, or Kaze came to him, he would be dead nonetheless. Therefore, he could only try to stall with the idea of fighting Kaze in the ring, fair and square. He wanted to put Kaze in a position where attacking or killing would ruin his future and reputation, making him the despicable villain for the rest of his life. However, Gareth knew he could not afford to lose either. He could not afford to let a useless guy who married into his wife’s family ruin the reputation and status that he spent a decade building. Even if Gareth left Lilyrose, people would still go after him and possibly thrash the Hornberg Manor just to get him. His reputation and wealth that he spent decades accumulating would be flushed down the drain. He knew how harsh the society could be and people would take advantage of him or gloat at him once they got the chance. He had seen it many times. He used the same method when he wa
Kaze had fought on the battlefield for many years. He had encountered a fair portion of weirdness and strange people, so he was not surprised about Sven and Wolf’s condition. He was quite interested in their condition, so he handed them over to the Lilyrose Strategic Department for further studies. It was also the reason why people like Mary Sue could no longer locate them. “Come on, let’s get you home first.” Kaze patted on Daphne’s head. Daphne said, “Kaze, I want to visit the volunteer workers at the hospital.” “Sure.” He drove Daphne to the hospital and told Conan to send some men to watch over her before he left. “Bro, Gareth Hornberg wants to invite you to fight him in the ring, fair and square.” On the way back, Conan told Kaze about the challenge from Gareth. “Fight him fair and square?” Kaze was slightly surprised before he laughed. “The grandmaster wanted to fight me, a nameless guy, fair and square? That explains a lot.” Despite being amused, his gaze
“No! My daughter is still in the hospital!” Katie refused to accept her punishment. She started to regret her decision but it was too late. “Now only you think about your daughter? I guess you are not that foolish, but have you thought about her when you betrayed Chairman Lee? “Don’t worry. Leah knew Chairman Lee personally and we won’t hurt her, but she might not live a good life anymore,” Snow said coldly. She did not want to put the girl in a difficult situation but her life as a princess would come to an end. “You can’t do that!” Katie could not believe Snow would do that. “I bet you never thought of the consequences when you leaked the information. Too bad. You’ve lost.” Snow revealed the truth because she wanted Katie to suffer for the decision she made. Katie would now regret every decision she made because she knew she had jeopardized her daughter’s life. She would feel like a fool. She devoted her life to climbing higher to gain more power but she ignored the
“I went to a bar to have a drink and I bumped into an informant of the Viper’s Den.” Katie looked helpless as she explained as if everything that had happened was planned out for her, pushing her to the edge step by step. It was a lively night at the bar. The atmosphere was pleasant and most of the guests were having a good time. Katie was a single woman. She needed care and love at times. She was alone when she visited the bar. She started off by ordering some drinks at the counter, waiting for a chance to meet a man who shared the same ideals. A drink or two later, maybe she could get herself a company for the night. As a grown-up woman, she had her desires. It was a way to release her stress. Katie entered the bar in a casual outfit but it did not diminish her elegant demeanor. When she sat down at the counter, a few young men approached her but she was not interested in immature boys. She continued drinking. She looked at the dance floor occasionally, searching for a
“Who do you think will believe you?” Arthur frowned. There were too many coincidences that it felt like a giant setup. “I’ve explained what I need to. Don’t interrogate me like I’m a criminal. I am the CEO of the Northborn Group.” Katie left them speechless. She had said the necessary and it was up to them whether they wanted to believe it or not. They did not have the evidence to charge her anyway. “You really think we can’t hold you responsible?” Snow was not really looking for a definite answer. The moment she suspected Katie, whether or not she was truly the traitor, Snow already had the right to hold her accountable. It was necessary to make things clear and it was to find out who Katie leaked Kaze’s information to. “It has come down to this. No matter how you deny it, it’s useless. We already know what you have done and you can’t escape. Even if you don’t want to confess, we can continue the investigation, and we’ll eventually find out the truth. “If you come clean
After Katie sent Leah to the hospital, she went back to work. She had a lot on her plate recently and it made her hesitant. Many decisions must be made at once. Many documents required her attention but she was not in the mood to go through them. Her eyes were watching the news on her computer screen. She seemed to know what had happened yet the headlines were not showing, which made her anxious. “Nothing?” Katie felt strange. According to the scale of the incident, it should be making headlines. Hijacking a plane was no small matter, yet not one article about it was published. She felt strange. “Madam Loren, the Viper’s Den wanted to meet you. They said it is for some documents,” Joey said as she came in. “What documents?” Katie felt strange and instantly became suspicious. “The projects previously under Jet Frost and his family required your signatures. The money has already been transferred but they need one last confirmation on the numbers,” Joey said professiona
Snow could not go to Kaze because she had to stay back to handle the rest of the matter. “You know that person.” Peter dared not lie anymore because he wanted to ask for forgiveness. “You’re still trying to negotiate?” Arthur knew what Peter was targeting since he did not finish the sentence. “I regret what I have done but I want to see if the Viper’s Den could forgive me this once. I’ll make up for what I have done. Can you please let me go?” Peter boldly made his request, albeit knowing that it was unlikely to work, he hoped to gain attention. “Don’t even think about it. You’ll be out of the Viper’s Den after this. We won’t hold you responsible and consider it mercy from us.” Arthur did not want to go after Peter but he could not allow the young man to stay in the organization anymore. People who had betrayed the Viper’s Den could no longer be part of it. “I didn’t know it was this serious. Besides, that person is from the Viper’s Den as well.” Peter regretted hi
“I wonder how Chairman Lee is doing. If he’s alone, he’ll definitely get out of the situation but there’s a whole plane of hostages with him. He must be in a difficult position.” Snow knew Kaze’s personality well enough, thus her worries. Kaze would never escape alone and abandon the people. He would either leave with everyone or stay to find a way to solve the matter. Snow then suddenly sighed a breath of relief because she knew Kaze would never spare the hijackers for what they did. She was no longer overly concerned and focused instead on resolving the matter at hand. A while later, Arthur came back hurriedly. “I’ve checked the records. Only a handful of people know that Mr. Lee left and they are all whom we are familiar with and trusted. The traitor must be among them.” He dared not believe that Kaze’s schedule was leaked from his side. “No one at my side knows about Chairman Lee’s schedule except me,” Snow said confidently. She started to feel more certain about t
Snow had already sent men to where the plane was found. If the passengers were taken away, then they must still be nearby. It was difficult to transport an entire plane of passengers to some place far within such a short time. It was a race against time. Snow did not know who would do such a thing. Kaze took a common flight like everyone else, yet it was hijacked. It was strange. The coincidence was uncanny. Snow believed the hijacking happened because of Kaze but she did not know why. “The only explanation is that there’s a traitor among us…” She finally came to an unlikely conclusion after combing through the details. If there were a traitor, it must be within the Viper’s Den. Kaze had laid a low profile for as long as he was in Butterworth. Not many people knew about his identity and those who wanted to make connections with him were because of Snow. It was unlikely that someone would go after him so suddenly unless this person knew his identity and background.
If they were sent to capture Kaze, then they were severely under-numbered. In addition, they allowed Kaze to be alone with the captives, which proved that they were inexperienced. Or maybe they did not know what he had done in the past as the God of War. Kaze believed that the mercenaries were after him but they did not know his true identity. There must have been some miscommunication between them and their employer, which was good news to Kaze. Tiguan and his men were eating. Since they were unable to identify the target, they were forced to bring everyone back. The plane was huge. It would be an easy target for the law enforcement to locate them. Maybe the outside world had caught wind of the hijacking. “Boss, what should we do now? That man seems like he vanished into thin air.” “We got his boarding information but we can’t identify him on the plane.” “Who are we looking for exactly? Why is he so mysterious?” The men were baffled. “We are looking for the righ
“We are almost there. We have to transfer these people as soon as possible. The plane must take off right away. We cannot leave any traces behind.” They must hurry or they would be caught very soon. They held the pilot hostage and forced him to do an abrupt landing. The sudden descent caught everyone off guard, shocking them. A few of the passengers even hit their heads. Many of them did not get the chance to fasten their seat belts. Kaze grabbed Barney and protected his head from hitting the front seat. “Thank you.” Barney looked at Kaze with gratitude and then looked outside. “Where are we? Have we reached?” He was worried that they would be completely trapped. “They are going to transfer us elsewhere.” Kaze had a similar experience before and he knew what the hijackers would do next. “Transfer us? Are they going to transfer us to somewhere secluded and kill us all?” Barney looked horrified as he stared at Kaze. He somehow felt safe beside Kaze. “They sai
