The dagger flashed as quick as lightning. Hurled from Kaze’s palm, the flickering blade shot straight for Christian’s face.“Damn it!” Christian scowled, taken aback by the sheer force of Kaze’s throw. His reflexes alarmed him to jump away, but his employer, Madam Hacks, was standing right behind him. If his employer was stabbed to death by the dagger, it was his and Zion Mercenaries’ reputation out the window. In desperation, Christian scooped Madam Hacks in the back, and they hurdled out of the way. “Slash!” The dagger raked across Christian’s shoulder, tearing away a huge chunk of flesh with its vicious scrape.“Ow…” Christian cried out in pain as his body slammed to the ground. Madam Hacks took the fall along with him. Madam Hacks, accustomed to a life of privilege, could not handle a rough landing like Christian.She felt as though a bus had run over her. “Ma’am!” Mary Sue rushed over in a panic. Amid the chaos, the group helped Madam Hacks and Christian
“That’s right.” Madam pulled herself together. She made a face before easing the tension on her facial muscles. She turned to Kaze and said solemnly, “I heard you can get through to Governor Loid Farland, Kaze. “If you get us a meeting with him and get Kingston out, we can forget our feuding. I promise to look the other way.“On top of that, you will earn a friend with the Hacks family.” Madam Hacks planned to use Darcy to pressure Kaze into accepting the terms.However, Darcy was rescued, and Kaze was more powerful than Christian and his team. Hence, Madam Hacks put away her disdain toward Kaze. Still, she acted superior to Kaze because she believed she was rightful to behave so.Kaze could fight, but that was all he was. His ability to fight would not put him at the top of the social hierarchy. “A friend with the Hacks family?” Kaze smiled sarcastically. “What makes you think that people should bow to the Hacks family and forget about the past?” Hiding her ange
“No way! Is that Arcadian really that strong?” The group of foreign mercenaries exclaimed in horror. It was true that Christian fumbled to get back up on his feet after Kaze threw the blade. However, the group was skeptical that Kaze could single handedly kill all of them. Having rampaged across several continents, Zion Mercenaries displayed a heightened sense of arrogance.Apart from a legend like the God of War, they looked down on all the other Arcadians. Christian smirked. “Go ahead and go after him if you don’t believe me. Don’t blame me for not giving you the heads-up when you die.” He still felt a little nervous after the earlier incident. Death gnawed at Christian when Kaze flung the dagger. It took everything in him to escape the jaws of death. Christian was unsure of the extent of Kaze’s combat competence. However, he trusted his gut feeling. If they were to attack Kaze, the factory would be their burial spot. The serious look on Christian’s face confus
With her eyes glistering ruthlessly, Madam Hacks fell into contemplation and said, “Go to Gareth. “Tell him that if he kills Kaze, I’ll give him another 10% of Rove shares.” The Lyfes gave their 15% shares to Madam Hacks. She gave 5% to Gareth to go to Lilyrose. The extra 10% would make the deal even sweeter. The shares did not belong to her anyway, so she was not missing out on anything. Madam Hacks waved her arm. “Never mind. Just take the share transfer papers to him. The cunning fox won’t budge easily for a verbal agreement. “Yes, ma’am,” Mary Sue responded. … Back at the Lyfes’ family residence, Gareth sat in silence. The share transfer contract from Mary Sue was on the desk next to his arm. “Congratulations, Master. You have 15% Rove shares. You’ll be Rove’s biggest shareholder when Kaze hands over his 20%.” “Your net worth will skyrocket once Rove goes public.” The disciples gathered around Gareth, congratulating him. They were ecstatic. Gareth’s
Kaze was savage. Gareth’s hair stood at the thought that he threatened Kaze with his wife. If Kaze did not care about his wife, Gareth would have died in the boxing ring. Gareth wondered if he could stop Kaze then. He knew the answer to that question. A disciple said in shock, “Lee is vicious, Master. He’s submissive to you, but he doesn’t hold back with others. “I guess only you can restrain him—” “Blegh!” Gareth spat out his drink on the disciple’s face. “Master?” Thinking that he had upset Gareth, the disciple became nervous. “Uh… I’m fine.” Gareth waved his arm, his expression baffling. Only Gareth knew what was going on in his mind. The disciples sighed in relief and said, “Do it, Master. Kill the bastard! We can’t let him walk away in arrogance.” “That’s right. He’s ruthless. He killed so many to save his wife. I’m sure this won’t be the end of it.” “The people of Lilyrose will want to get rid of him once the word gets out. Only you can save the pe
“Syed wants to see me?” Kaze frowned and asked, “Where?” “He’s outside Skylar View District. My people held him down, but Syed came bearing a message from Gareth. We gave him a thorough frisk, and he is clean. Do you want him to come in?” Since Darcy’s abduction, Conan stayed on high alert. Anything or anyone that could be a threat to Kaze’s family would be restrained. “I’ll see him at the gates.” Kaze got up and left home. …“Let go of me. I represent Mr. Hornberg. You work for Kaze. Don’t you know that even Kaze wouldn’t touch me?” Restrained by Conan’s men, Syed made a huge fuss. Unable to stand the yelling, Conan waved his arm. “Keep him quiet.” “Smack!” “Smack!” Syed’s cheeks were swollen. “How dare you hit me! “I can sic Kaze on you!” Syed cried out in rage. Conan looked at Syed like he was an idiot. Before Conan could order another beating on Syed, the sound of footsteps came from behind. “Kaze!” Conan turned around and greeted Kaze while the
To clear up his disciples’ confusion, Gareth generously sent the fleet of Maybachs to pick up the disciples and his nephew from the hospital. Moved to tears, the disciples believed they were right to pledge their loyalty to Gareth. Image was everything to Gareth. Yet, he chose the discreet sedan and gave away the fancy car ride to his disciples. The disciples had no idea that Gareth only did it to confuse Kaze. Truth be told, Gareth was afraid that Kaze would go after him, so he put his disciples and nephew in the forefront of danger. “Fuck. Why is a dangerous man like Kaze doing in a small city? “I knew I was right to stay put in Sunrise for all those years.“Thank goodness I know by experience when is my cue to leave. Otherwise, I might just die in Lilyrose and lose my reputation. “Once I get on the highway, I can say goodbye to Lilyrose.” With the green-lit toll booth up ahead, relief washed over Gareth. His experience saved him from trouble this time. Upon hi
Gareth was scared stiff. He would not be pleased to survive Lilyrose, only to die in a car accident back in Sunrise City. Gareth held his head and flipped out. “Do you know how to drive, bastard?” “Someone planted a tire killer ahead, Master,” the disciple behind the wheel replied, cocking his head back. “It was intentional?” Gareth grimaced. “Get out of the car. We’ll walk.” Gareth opened the car door to walk past Lilyrose’s border. The group got out of the car and saw people swarming out of the woods on either side of the road. Up ahead, a lone truck stood across several lanes, blocking the way.The individuals slowly drew close. “Kaze!” Gareth scowled at the sight of the leader. Kaze would not leave him alone. A disciple swaggered forward and blocked Kaze’s way. He shouted menacingly, “Even after your defeat to Grandmaster Hornberg, you stopped him from leaving. Are you looking for trouble?” Gareth’s other disciples sneered at Kaze. They believed Kaze wa
