“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
“Darcy, you should really stop your stupid husband, don’t send him to die. I don’t want you to be a widow at such a young age.” Miru grunted frustratedly and then left. She knew Kaze was a proud man and would never listen to her. “Kaze, please don’t go. Just let people laugh or say whatever they want, we won’t lose anything.” Darcy started to beg Kaze after Miru left. She even used her googly eyes and sweet voice to convince him. Kaze sighed and nodded. “Fine. I won’t go.” He had to take care of Gareth one way or another. He could allow that old man to continue wreaking havoc in the city, but he did not want Darcy to worry, so he simply patronized her. Darcy’s heart could finally rest. The next morning, Darcy and her parents got up early and prepared to go out. “Darcy, where are you guys going?” Kaze asked. Darcy sighed and said, “Grandfather and the others just came back from Melrose. The Vinlands allowed them to revert to their old names. “After what happened, the
Even the deputy mayors, Caleb and Lou, were there. Since they were government officials, their identities were rather sensitive. Therefore, to stay inconspicuous, they put on disguises and kept a low profile. Caleb nudged Bernard, who was sitting beside him. “Mr. Vikrom, do you think Mr. Lee will win?” Bernard, Peter, and Jack were all in casts. Due to their injuries, their arrival attracted quite a lot of attention. They were hurt last night but they insisted on attending the match. It seemed like the three of them were really supportive of Kaze and wanted him to win. “Mr. Lee can win, right?” Bernard sounded unsure. He knew Kaze’s real identity but the God of War acted like a commander on the battlefield more than a fighter. The death match was something entirely different than fighting enemies on the battlefield. However, they had hopes for Kaze. They wanted Kaze to avenge them and get rid of Gareth. If Kaze lost, being Kaze’s avid supporters, Gareth would ce
It was strange for government officials to attend the match, let alone the two deputy mayors. Caleb and Lou were caught off guard by the sudden attention on themselves. They did not expect Gareth to call them out in front of the audience. It seemed like Gareth’s men had already noticed them when they entered. Was it an exertion of dominance? Caleb took a deep breath and got up. He said, “Grandmaster Hornberg, this kind of underground deathmatch is illegal. The city council believes this match should be a friendly spar. I hope you can hold back a little.” Now that his identity was exposed, the only thing he could do was try to deter Gareth and prevent him from causing more trouble. Unfortunately, Caleb was wrong because Gareth never took him seriously. “Deputy Mayor Leed, are you begging for that useless punk?” Gareth laughed. His laughter ceased all of a sudden and he said coldly, “You two are not powerful enough to tell me what to do, tell your mayor to talk to me
