Soon, a forty-one-year-old man with glasses came into the office. The man was the principal of Golden Sun Kindergarten, Jonas Jordan. “Ms. Lowry, what’s going on?” Ms. Lowry explained to him. “Principal Jordan, this girl here hit my son and accused him of taking her toy. She’s a vile child and I don’t want her to be in the same class as my son. You know what to do.” Ken grunted angrily. Kaze scoffed, “I said we’ll check the surveillance footage. What’s wrong with you? Can’t understand English?” Principal Jordan glanced at Kaze who refused to compromise and then at Ken who sounded righteous. Both of them seemed to have a background. It gave him an instant headache. He could only carry out the standard operating procedures. “Hold on, I’ve asked someone to get the surveillance footage.” Soon, a staff member entered. Principal Jordan had a look at the video that the worker recorded using his phone. The footage showed that Brenda was playing with other kids. Ben, o
Ken laughed when he heard Kaze. “Kid, bold words you have there. Be careful not to bite your own tongue when you talk.” Elsa laughed as well. “Golden Sun Kindergarten is my husband’s company brand, and he can’t expel a girl? Who do you think you are?” Kaze ignored the two of them. He pulled his phone out and called Snow, who was waiting outside the preschool. “Snow, have you heard of Tuling Education Group? Who is their boss?” “Mr. Chairman, you don’t know about the Tuling Education Group?” Snow was surprised. She then explained, “Jessica Summer is the CEO of Tuling Education Group. She founded the company with a partner.” “Jessica’s company?” Kaze was surprised. He did not care about what company Jessica owned or how big her business had gotten. Even if she was the richest woman in South River State, she would have to kneel before James’ grave. “Call Jessica and tell her to come here right away.” Kaze then hung up the phone. “Who is Jessica?” Elsa was baffled
Jessica shuddered in fear when she heard Kaze. She looked around and finally saw Ken. Her gaze turned frosty and bellowed, “Ken Mendez, how dare you expel Ms. Brenda White?!” Kaze held Brenda in his arms and from this scene, Jessica knew the girl was as close as family to him. Ken was stepping on a landmine! His mind went blank. He bent over when Jessica bellowed at him. “Ms. Summer, I didn’t know…” Slap! Jessica slapped him on the face, leaving a flaming hot mark of her palm on his face. “You are fired!” “Huh?” Ken was stunned as he held his face. He arrogantly claimed that he could get Brenda expelled, but now it was he who got fired. He lost his job as an executive of Tuling Education Group, one that paid him almost a million a year. That was not the end. Jessica then said, “I will blacklist your name from the industry. No one in the education field will hire you anymore!” Ken collapsed on the chair. Blacklisted by the entire industry! He was alread
Snow glanced at Camry and Brenda, and she held back from speaking further. “Uncle Camry, why don’t you bring Brenda into the car first?” Kaze put Brenda in Camry’s care. After they went into the car, Kaze frowned and asked, “What happened?” Snow said, “Ms. Quint and the Quint family went over to Hilfinger Corporation to take over the business but they were thrown out by the general manager, Ray Buster. And Kelly Clarkson jumped off the building right in front of them. “At the same time, Henry Hilfinger jumped off the hospital window.” Thump! Jessica, who came out with them, was frightened when she overheard Snow. She immediately knelt before Kaze and begged him. “Kaze, please don’t kill me! I know I’ve made some mistakes but please don’t kill me. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do! I’ll go confess in front of James’ grave! I’ll do whatever I can to make up for his family!” The woman kowtowed to Kaze repeatedly. “Stop it. I am not responsible for their deaths!” Kaze
“Old house?” Kaze looked at Camry and Teresa. Teresa sighed and said, “Brenda is referring to the mansion that James bought when he came back to Lilyrose. That’s when she started to remember things.” Back then, all five of them lived in that house. Winnie also had many pets in the house to keep Brenda entertained. Brenda had fond memories of that place. She still had dreams of her and her parents having fun there. Camry said, “It’s over now. After James passed, the house was taken by the bank and it must have a new owner by now.” Teresa pursed her lips. A hint of reminiscence flashed in her eyes. Back then, the family of five lived a happy life. Kaze took note of the mansion. After he left the White family, he told Snow to check the mansion’s current status. If Brenda wanted her old house back, then there was no need to buy a new one. Snow drove Kaze back to Horizon Mirror Mansion before she left. “Kaze, how dare you come back here! Because of what you said, w
The presale of Passion Fragrance District was around the corner and Darcy had been busy. She had to get the most important loan cleared. Quintessential Group had always faced a shortage of funds and had to deal with large expenses on a daily basis. The presale required a large sum of regulatory funds as well, so the company was facing a huge financial gap. She had to deal with all the problems herself. Kaze agreed. “Darcy, are you feeling alright?” Kaze noticed the unusual look on her face. Darcy rubbed her cheeks. “I’m fine. I’m just a little scared. Kelly jumped off the building in front of us.” Fortunately, she was mentally strong. On the other hand, the usually arrogant Samus and Deborah peed themselves on the spot when they saw Kelly’s body. It was a terrifying scene. “Oh yeah, I heard Henry jump off the hospital window as well. It’s just strange,” Darcy said emotionally. Henry and Kelly were her high school classmates, and now both of them killed themsel
Jackal and his team used to be reconnaissance soldiers, so they had excellent tracking techniques, but they paled in comparison to Kaze. He already knew someone was tailing him since he drove out of the house, but he did not know it was Dan’s men. Jackal said, “God of War, our boss wants us to follow you around so we can help you settle problems and run errands.” “Fine. Just stay low.” Kaze nodded. He indeed needed people to run errands for him. He could mobilize the Tiger Fangs and Garo Spec Ops Team at will, plus several other battalions and special forces under the command of Lilyrose Strategic Department, but it was not that convenient to move that many people around. He did not want serving soldiers to be at his side at all times as well. It would risk exposing his identity. Jackal and his team were the perfect choice. They might be nothing to Draco but Draco was the strongest war general under the God of War, so it was not actually fair to begin with. “Thank y
“Tell him to piss off, I don’t want to see him,” Sky said impatiently. He did not want Kaze to embarrass him in front of Tiffany, the lady he fancied. Tiffany smiled and said, “Sky, if your sister knows you ditched him, she will be mad at you.” “Tiffany, I know you are doing this for me, but he’s a retard. I don’t want him to cause a scene here and affect your business.” Tiffany was the owner of Socialite Club, and it was Sky’s first time here. The moment he stepped in, he noticed the interior was beautifully decorated and the customers were all rich. He even saw some regulars from the top families. “It’s fine. Even if your brother-in-law thrashes Socialite Club today, I won’t give him a hard time. For your sake.” Tiffany got up. She stroked the boy’s face with her slender fingers. Then, she turned to the waiter and said, “Invite Mr. Lee inside.” “Tiffany, you are so kind to me.” Sky’s heart was pounding after the little tease. His face even blushed like a little
The killers from Hell might not be the strongest but they could easily overwhelm the target with numbers. Not all organizations had the power to withstand their relentless attacks. It was also the reason that the Frost family lived in fear once they found out Midas King was after them. The fact that the Frost family members were not frightened by the news was a testament to their strong mental fortitude. Snow nodded and said coldly, “That’s why the Frost family hired the Krads and sent Aiden…” …In the car tailing Kaze and Snow sat Aiden, dressed in a white suit. He leaned back with legs crossed and a cigar smoldering between his fingers. He expressionlessly stared at the car in front, his gaze icy. Beside him was a woman in a traditional Ryokanian outfit. Her black traditional outfit had golden linings around the edges and an open chest design, showing off her large bosoms wrapped in bandages and her shoulder with a tattoo in red and green. The woman’s hair was tied i
The Frost family wanted to unite with the Krads by marrying Snow to Aaron. Therefore, when Kaze mentioned the Krad family, Snow turned to him and asked softly, “Mr. Chairman, did you know which organization of assassins was after the Frost family?” “Which one?” Kaze had no idea. When May visited Lilyrose, he overheard a mention of the Frost family’s enemies returning for revenge, with the leader being Midas King. Snow said, “The organization has many names. At first, they were known as Hellsearch, but people eventually just called them Hell. “I heard they don’t take normal payments to take lives. It’s either gold bars or a debt.” Kaze narrowed his eyes and said, “So once they had their eyes on a target, they would do whatever it takes and send them to hell?” There were meanings behind their name. The first would be that the killers of Hellsearch were difficult to find, or in a more direct iteration, as hard as hell to search. Secondly, once Hell received an assignment
Draig’s expression might have darkened but he was able to hold his emotions back. He knew Snow was trying to make him mad. As for Kaze, if even Cyan had no respect for him, he believed Snow would never lower herself to such standards. Draig was confident that he could move Snow with his actions and eventually, he could get under her pants. “What’s the matter with Draig?” Kaze asked Snow after they got into the car. Snow lifted her chin slightly and said, “We were at St. Mary Hospital for a while back then. This guy wanted to protect me 24/7, and on the first day, he tried to hold my hands and said it was love at first sight. “The second day, he tried to get into my room. After I scolded him, he said he grew up in Uleania and people there are open-minded. “I kicked him out, but then he got to Cyan and used her to bring me here. He’s just a shameless guy. I hate people like him.” After going through thick and thin with Kaze, Snow started to show her more vulnerable and fe
Kaze’s frivolous tone left Jude speechless, his eyelids even twitched helplessly. He did not argue and simply nodded without hesitation. “I will transfer my remaining shares to Buffy.” He knew Kaze was not trying to negotiate with him. If it was a suggestion from Kaze, then there would be no space for resistance or negotiations. Kaze nodded and hummed a reply. He did not show any mercy to Jude, the old fox. Jude was on the weaker side at the moment and he was doing everything he could to earn favors. Therefore, Kaze wanted to use the chance to secure some benefits for Buffy. Otherwise, once he was no longer in “power”, Jude would turn on him faster than a bolt of lightning. Kaze continued eating and lecturing Jude and Alfonso. The two old men nodded repeatedly and were as obedient as loyal dogs. After the meal, Kaze rejected Juan’s offer to relax at a hot spring and then went back to Cyan’s gathering. “Oh, Kaze! You’re back. You haven’t eaten anything right?”
Kaze had a wonderful meal at Emerald Bull Palace. The dishes prepared by the chef were amazing. “Branch Leader, with this cup of tea, I propose a toast.” Jude got up with a cup of tea in his hand and proposed a toast. Kaze did not drink alcohol, so the others dared not consume it either. He picked up the cup for a sip and then continued eating while waiting for Jude to speak his true intention. He knew Jude had something in his mind. Jude then bowed and said, “Branch Leader, Alfonso and I are here today at Emerald Bull Palace to discuss how we should apologize to you. “As for other ulterior motives, after yesterday, I have gotten rid of them. From today onward, I will serve you wholeheartedly. “As for Buffy, I have also apologized to her. I used my connection to transfer her mother to the best rehabilitation center in Westeros. Also, from today onward, Buffy will be the head of the Gwakes. She will have the power to decide every affair in the household. “Both my fat
“Branch Leader?!” Juan was also shocked, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Master! Master Lee is not just my savior, he’s the benefactor of my entire lineage! He practically gave me a second life! He’s like my parents reincarnated!” He looked proud when he described Kaze as if calling a young man master was the proudest thing he could do. Little did others know, Kaze did help Juan expand The Oracle’s Codex of the 16 Cosmic Keys to 32 keys. Juan had been working on deciphering the keys for some time now. The more he studied, the more he realized his knowledge of The Oracle was ridiculous and a bunch of bullshit. Yet even with the bullshit, his lineage was extended for multiple generations. He was excited the more he learned because he knew that the new keys that he got from Kaze would only make his lineage stronger in the future. Alfonso barely reacted to Juan’s words but Jude was shocked and jealous. Something must have happened between Kaze and Juan be
As Kaze expected, Alfonso was indeed afraid of being abandoned after he served his purpose of cleansing the Butterworth Branch. He was afraid that once he completed his task, Kaze would kick him away to calm the raging agents down. If Kaze had such intention, given Alfonso’s current situation, he could not do anything but accept it. Fortunately, Kaze did not have such plans. “Fine. Let’s go to Juan.” Kaze nodded and gestured at them to lead the way. “This way, Branch Leader!” Jude and Alfonso bowed respectfully, then adopted a gesture of invitation before leading the way forward. It was then that Natalie, Cyan’s assistant, who was sent to fetch wine from the car, stepped out and saw the shocking scene, leaving her speechless. Jude and Alfonso were frightened by Draig but the two of them remained prominent figures. Yet she saw them bowing and nodding in front of Kaze, acting like they were his loyal followers. Natalie was arrogant but not stupid. Connecting the s
Kaze shook his head and then walked off alone. “Branch Leader!” “Branch Leader!” As soon as Kaze came out, Jude and Alfonso, who had been waiting for him, came over immediately. The two of them were prominent figures in Riverbank and Butterworth, yet they stood before Kaze like a humble servant, looking scared and cautious. What Cyan and the others did not notice earlier were the faint palm prints on their faces. Though not as obvious after some treatment, a closer look at it would be frightening. Kaze glanced at them and frivolously asked, “What’s the matter? Coming back for revenge so soon? Not happy about what happened last night? I’m alone now and you guys set an ambush for me?” His words left the two old men stunned, their smiles frozen. The air suddenly felt awkward. Jude quickly said, “Branch Leader, please don’t joke with us. I accepted my fate wholeheartedly since last night and I don’t have any complaints, let alone setting up an ambush for you.” “Really?”
Unfortunately, the influencers knew that a man like Draig would never be interested in them, the common ones. “Only a man like Draig is worthy of our love! Some men aren’t even men!” “Yeah. He didn’t even speak a word, what a coward! I don’t even know what Ms. Frost sees in him.” “What a coward. He doesn’t even dare to speak up in front of Draig. Is he even capable of protecting Ms. Frost?” The influencers belittled Kaze once more to flatter Draig. They looked at Kaze with contempt, like he was the slug in a drain. As for Kaze, he simply ignored all of them, refusing to waste his time on some random women. Cyan noticed Draig had stepped down, so she, too, did not want to force Snow. She said, “Stop it, you guys. Since Draig has decided, we should respect his decision.” Her contempt for Kaze was similar to her friends. However, since Snow had chosen Kaze, Cyan felt it was inappropriate to dwell on the topic. Cyan strongly believed Kaze was a troublemaker. She even pl
