The Quints were frightened, thinking it was another debt collector knocking on their door. The debt collectors had broken down the Quints’ gates before, and the shameful past still haunted them to this day. “Kaze!” Nevertheless, the Quints saw red when they saw who it was. They quickly tucked their emotions away, though. Kaze was no longer a man they could afford to cross. He was the chairman of Shangrila Group and the CEO of Hudson Investment Firm. Those titles alone lifted Kaze out of the loser status.At least, no one in the Quint family had the right to call him a loser. By the look on Kaze’s face, he was not here for the party. The Quints felt unsettled and confused by his aggressive approach. “Agnes, um…” Without the nerve to question Kaze, Logan turned to Agnes in distress. Agnes slammed the table and rose to her feet before uttering peevishly, “What the hell, Kaze? Why did you kick the door down? Hurry up and apologize.” “Darcy is abducted.” Kaze’s re
Samus could finally catch his breath. He held his neck and coughed in agony. Rudy grimaced hard. Between his son and daughter, he chose the former without hesitation. “Call Deborah now.” Rudy told his wife before saying with an ashen face, “Deborah told us that Madam Hacks bailed her out of jail. Ms. Roberts, a servant of Madam Hacks, came to her last night, but I don’t know the details of their conversation.” “No need to dive into the details.” Since Kaze already had his suspicions, he cut Rudy off. “So you don’t know where Deborah is now?” “We have no idea. It’s true, Kaze. Please believe us,” Rudy pleaded. As Rudy did not look like he was lying, Kaze nodded and turned to Whitney. “Did you get through to her?” “She’s not answering.” Whitney stared at him fearfully. Kaze frowned and replied, “Give me her phone number.” The earlier call from Deborah was through a satellite phone, so the call could not be tracked. After acquiring the phone number, Kaze turned to
Zion Mercenaries’ activities had been expanding to the East in recent years. The Geranium City’s Hackses had worked with Zion Mercenaries before. This time, Gareth had Mary Sue orchestrate Darcy’s abduction. Since Madam Hacks wronged Gareth over the incident with Stone, she hired Zion Mercenaries to come to Lilyrose. “Alright. Take me there. I’ll wait for Kaze there.” Madam Hacks said indifferently, “Loid won’t budge. I heard Kaze could get through to him. “We can use that bastard’s wife to make him build a bridge between Loid and me.” “Yes.” Mary Sue escorted Madam Hacks into the car. However, Kaze was one step ahead of them. Kaze tracked Deborah’s phone through the military to the factory on the outskirts. The factory was surrounded by vast space used for farming. There was a reason Darcy was brought there. Those in the factory could keep an eye on anyone approaching. So as not to spook the abductors, Kaze chose to drive alone. The factory must not be in
Close to twenty men surrounded Kaze. “Why do you have to put yourself in this situation, boy? Well, you asked for it.” The cocky leader blew a puff at Kaze’s face and reached out to slap his face. “Smack.” Kaze threw his fist at the leader’s face. Before the leader knew it, Kaze grabbed and twisted his wrist but not without stuffing the cigarette in his mouth. “Mgh!” With the cigarette burning the leader’s tongue, he cried out in agony. “Let go of Steel!” Livid, the other thugs swung their steel pipes at Kaze. “Whack!” Kaze kicked the leader in the head before charging into the crowd. A minute later, close to twenty men crumpled on the ground. The first few who surrounded Kaze suffered broken limbs. They looked at Kaze as if they had seen a ghost. These thugs often took advantage of the weak, demanding money from trucks that supplied stock to the factory. They met their match today. “If I find even a tiny scratch on the car when I get out, each one of
Members of Zion Mercenaries were war veterans. Many of them had witnessed the power of the God of War Blow on the battlefield. The lethal maneuver was etched in their minds. The foreign mercenaries recognized Kaze’s upbringing by the way he fought. Kaze’s proficiency in the God of War Blow meant he was an Arcadian soldier who had gone to war before. “Oh, you recognize the God of War Blow? Not bad. “It was meant to be called the Kill, and I specifically developed it to take down the five strongest nations on the battlefield.” Kaze drew close with a straight face and explained callously. “What? You developed the God of War Blow? “Are you from the God of War Palace?” the foreigner blurted, his eyes meeting Kaze’s in disbelief. As far as he knew, the Arcadian soldiers named the technique the God of War Blow because it was developed by the man himself. The God of War was a legend to pulverize the five strongest nations in the world. He was God-like. Yet, there he was
Darcy seemed fine. Kaze was relieved. Deborah sat across from Darcy and fiddled with the dagger in hand. She wanted Kaze to be there when she destroyed Darcy’s face. Hearing the footsteps in the back, she cocked her head back. “Mr. Skyfort, what’s the commotion out there… Kaze? “H-How did you get in?” Deborah’s jaw dropped. Kaze replied curtly, “I killed all of them to get here.” “Stop bluffing.” Deborah shuddered, skeptical that Kaze killed the mercenaries. However, Kaze gave off a dangerous vibe. Kaze drew close and said indifferently, “Try me. You’ll know whether I’m bluffing.” “What are you doing? Don’t get any closer.” Thrown into a panic, Deborah got up and ran to Darcy. She swung her dagger and said sternly, “Don’t come any closer, or I’ll slice your wife’s face.” “Slash.” A glint of metal pierced Deborah’s palm, sending blood splattering. Deborah rammed into the wall behind her, her dagger clattering to the floor with a clang.“Argh!” Deborah was
Darcy noticed Kaze’s intention to stay and sort Deborah out. She said, “Deborah should be punished for what she has done, but don’t take things far. I don’t want anything to come back and bite you, honey.” In fact, Deborah was dead to Darcy after the incident today. However, Darcy did not want Kaze to get blood on his hands and risk the trouble. “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.” Kaze patted Darcy’s back with a smile. “Promise me that you won’t get yourself in trouble over someone who isn’t worth it, honey.” Darcy urged before leaving the room. Outside, she saw the dead bodies scattered on the ground. Chills crept up her spine. When she saw Kailan pinned dead to the wheelchair, her heart sank to the pit of her stomach. Like Deborah, the dagger pierced through his body and stuck him to a hard surface. The only difference was that Kailan was dead. Darcy walked out of the factory with a pale face and saw a dozen thugs in security uniforms surrounding Kaze’s car
“You can’t kill me, Kaze,” Deborah screamed and cried. Fear gripped her when the realization struck that Kaze would kill her. “Slash.” A shrill sound pierced the air. Furrowing his brows, Kaze shifted to the side. “Thud!” The dagger whooshed through the air and stabbed into the wall, its handle wobbling from impact, where Kaze was standing earlier. “There you are, Godmother. Save me!” Lying on the ground, Deborah shouted in tears like she had seen her savior. Kaze cocked his head to face the door. An elegantly dressed woman, her face blank, entered the room with an entourage in tow. Seeing Mary Sue tend to her cautiously, Kaze realized who the woman was.It was Madam Hacks from Geranium City. Behind Madam Hacks were several burly, savage-looking foreigners. They gave off the same vibes as the foreign mercenaries who died at the hands of Kaze. However, these newcomers appeared stronger than the former ones. A foreigner with shoulder-length hair emerged fro
