Usually, those who confronted Hannah never got the chance to see the Nether Viper Sword because they would surrender the moment they learned of Hannah’s status and identity. To everyone’s surprise, they ran into Kaze, probably the most stubborn opponent they had ever met, and it forced Hannah to bring out her Nether Viper Sword. Hannah’s entire team was eager to see her obliterate Kaze with the sword. As excitement rose, Hannah had taken the sword out of the box. The moment she held the Nether Viper Sword, the blade’s mysterious and strange aura further set off her alluring charms. Without the slap mark on her face, Hannah would look like some wicked goddess from ancient times. “Kaze Lee, you murdered my godfather and now I will kill you with the Nether Viper Sword! Consider it your honor! “You shall have a taste of the ultimate strike of the Viper’s Den technique and Nether Viper Sword! Die!” Following Hannah’s furious cry, she lunged forward with the sword. As she t
Slap! “License to kill?” Slap! “No one can stop you?” Slap! Kaze slapped Hannah ceaselessly as he repeated what she said earlier. Hannah struggled furiously and shouted like a mad woman as her right face was being slapped. Her sanity was snapping with every slap she received. She was one of the brightest stars in the Viper’s Den. The branch leader in West State, Magnus Fawn, was her master and he was proud of her achievements. The Viper Queen gave her a replica of the Nether Viper Sword as a recognition of her contribution. She was considered the future of the entire organization. In time, she would be strong enough to compete with other powerful agents or members from the three other organizations. She might even get a chance to compete for the Viper Queen’s throne. Now, she was slapped ceaselessly by Kaze and she could not do anything to stop it. She was furious because Kaze did not use any powerful techniques or fancy ultimate skills. He simply defeated
All the Viper’s Den members were shaking when they heard Kaze. If Kaze really wanted to kill Hannah, no one could stop him. Hannah seemed afraid as well but she lifted her head and said confidently, “Kaze Lee, I lost and if I have to die at your hands, just go ahead with it. “Kill me, skin me alive, or whatever. But the Viper’s Den will avenge me—” Slap! Kaze slapped her again. Looking at Hannah, covering her face and hurting, he said, “Revenge? If you are not afraid of death, just come at me. Since you are doing this because of your godfather, I’ll show you some mercy and let you live today. “Though I hope you can be smarter and don’t do anything stupid. You saw what I could do. Do you think I need tricks and schemes to kill Gareth Hornberg?” Hannah was surprised before realization struck. Kaze slapped her ceaselessly not just to insult her but also to tell her the truth about Gareth’s death. With his power, killing Gareth would be a piece of cake. Hannah knew he
Members of the Viper’s Den lowered their heads in silence. No one dared to look Kaze in the eyes. “Conan,” Kaze called. “Yes!” Conan went up to Kaze immediately and looked at him with utmost admiration. He was aggrieved when Hannah slapped him but when Kaze slapped her back countless times more, the grievance in his heart dissipated. No matter how powerful the person or the organization was, whenever they confronted Kaze, he was able to overpower them easily, physically or with help. Kaze glanced at the Viper’s Den members and said coldly, “Watch them. Make sure they leave with a broken arm. Consider it a little punishment. If they are unwilling to cooperate then…” Conan said loudly, “I got it, Bro! If they don’t cooperate, I’ll break it myself!” Kaze nodded. As agents of government intelligence and strategic agencies, they were blindly arrogant and overconfident. Kaze did not want them dead but a little punishment was necessary to remind them of their duty and st
“Hannah!” The members of the Viper’s Den were deeply moved. Their eyes teared up and they even called Hannah by her name. Hannah was willing to sacrifice her limbs to protect them. She remained silent as she stared at Kaze, waiting for his reply. Kaze smiled and said, “You are in no position to negotiate with me. If you want the sword back, ask your queen to come get it.” He then turned around, wanting to leave. Hannah’s eyes widened in shock. She clenched her fists and said, “Kaze Lee, taking the sword away will put you against the entire Viper’s Den! Do you know how severe the consequences are?” Kaze got into the car. Before he closed the door, he nonchalantly said, “I’ll be waiting.” The door closed and the car drove off. Ten minutes later, Hannah, with a broken arm, and her team members arrived at the morgue to check on Gareth’s body. “Godfather, no matter who the killer is, I will get to the bottom of this and avenge you!” said Hannah to herself. She stared a
“It’s not the strategic department. It’s someone called Kaze Lee. He’s the son-in-law of the Quints and also the abandoned son of the Lees,” said the tall man as he handed a stack of documents to Magnus. The West State branch of the Viper’s Den was able to gather every detail on Kaze from the moment his name popped up. Magnus went through the documents swiftly and his expression turned bitter. A useless man who married into a second-tier family was able to defeat Hannah, whom Magnus had high hopes for, and seized the Nether Viper Sword openly. How did it happen? Magnus was not overly concerned about Kaze being the abandoned son of the Lees. His men were mostly from wealthy families, and a lot of them were from the South River State. “Sir, what should we do now?” the tall man asked. Magnus gave the document back and said, “The Nether Viper Sword is our organization’s sacred weapon. Even though it’s just a replica, we cannot afford to let it be in someone else’s possessio
Kaze was not afraid of Magnus, or the Viper’s Den. However, he dared not be careless because he had to consider Darcy’s safety. He was afraid that the Viper’s Den might go after her. It had happened once already and he could not afford to let it happen another time. …Later that day, Yves led a team to Lilyrose, carrying Magnus’ order. “Mr. Saruman.” Trent and his grandson, Pete, welcomed Yves at the front entrance. After Kaze wreaked havoc at the Landor Residential Area multiple times, Trent moved out and chose to settle down in the retirement mansion that the city council prepared for him. He knew about his distant relative, Magnus, but he never had the power, or resources, to get close enough. Therefore, even though Yves worked under Magnus, Trent had to be deferential toward him. With his hands behind his back, Yves said, “So you are Trent Fuller, the ex-mayor of Lilyrose? I believe you have heard of Kaze Lee. The branch leader wants me to inform you that he hu
Soon, Trent arrived at the city council. He stood before the main entrance and started to reminisce about the past. He had been working in the city council for twenty-plus years and even after he retired, he missed the power that he used to own. He missed controlling the city with his own hands. When Johnson was in office, things were still peaceful because Johnson respected him and would visit during festive seasons. It made Trent feel like he was still relevant. However, when the young mayor took over, things changed. The young man did not show any respect to him. In fact, he had yet to meet the young mayor in person until now. Today, things would no longer be the same. “Master Fuller, w-what are you doing here?” Caleb and Lou came out when they got the news. They were surprised by the unannounced visit. “What’s the matter? I can’t visit now that I am no longer the mayor?” Trent showed no respect to Caleb and Lou, who he deemed were the young mayor’s loyal d
