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
The four titans were four of the strongest disciples Gareth had. They were also reputable figures in Sunrise City. Some even heard about the incident where the four of them caused trouble at Lefteria Group, putting Miru, the local kingpin, in a difficult situation. If Kaze could cripple the four of them, then he must be really strong. Therefore, the fight between Gareth and Kaze might not be entirely one-sided. However, if Gareth wanted to challenge Kaze fair and square, it must mean that he had absolute confidence in his own strength, or else he would not risk his reputation just to fight someone with a lesser reputation. After all, the two of them were from different worlds. Gareth was the grandmaster of the martial arts world. As for Kaze, even though it was proven that he was no longer a useless guy and had two companies under his belt, his status was still incomparable to Gareth’s. It was no surprise if Kaze lost to Gareth. However, if Gareth lost to Kaze, then
