“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
Gareth took out the 5% share ownership contract from his hidden pocket and handed it to Kaze. Kaze grabbed the file for a look before putting it away. “The 5% shares were supposed to be mine. I can’t say that we’re even. “Besides, your life isn’t worth much. Just 5% shares in exchange for your life?” “Don’t push your luck, Kaze!” Gareth yelled angrily, “Do you think you’ve got me under your thumb? I have friends in the fighting world and the underworld. “My disciples will kill you at my cue.” Kaze smiled nonchalantly. “Well, don’t get them involved. You can just die instead of dragging anyone else along. What? Are they supposed to be buried with you?” Gareth looked Kaze in the eye. It never occurred to Gareth that Kaze could care less about his influence in the fighting and criminal communities. “Are you trying to drive me to desperation, Kaze?” Gareth suddenly turned to his disciples. “Get Lee, or we will all die!” The disciples were dumbfounded. Gareth could j
Gareth tried to reason with Kaze to put the whole thing behind them. Kaze snickered. “You’re right, Gareth. We can’t rely on people, so I don’t. I rely on myself. “At least I can count on myself. Do you think I will cast myself aside?” “What do you mean?” Gareth was stunned, but his eyes soon widened. “You’re the mayor.” “That’s right.” Kaze nodded. Gareth’s mind went blank. It explained why Kaze often did as he pleased. No wonder Kaze could boss Don, the police chief, around and shut down the hospital. It made sense why Caleb, Bernard, and others stood on Kaze’s side. Kaze was the top dog in Lilyrose. No one would punish him. No one could punish him. Upset, Gareth said sternly, “Being a mayor doesn’t give you a free pass to kill, Kaze. Who the hell are you?” Fear started to sink in for Gareth. Kaze was more than who he said he was. His position as the mayor was likely only the tip of the iceberg. However, Kaze did not satisfy his curiosity this time
