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
“Trent Fuller’s grandson?” Aside from being surprised, Darcy’s heart skipped a beat. She knew of the conflict between Kaze and Trent. “In the flesh.” Pete explained, “‘Your husband murdered Gareth Hornberg and his disciples, so as part of the investigation, you are also a suspected conspirator. We will need you to cooperate and come with us.” Darcy’s expression turned cold. “Mr. Fuller, do you have the right to carry out an investigation? Do you even have a warrant?” Pete grunted and then pointed at the Viper’s Den agents behind him. The agents stared at Darcy coldly knowing that her husband injured their colleagues. One of them revealed his badge and said arrogantly, “The Viper’s Den has taken over the case. We do not need any warrant. As long as you are a suspect, we have the right to arrest you.” He raised his hand, signaling his colleagues to apprehend Darcy. “Stop them!” Darcy’s bodyguards stepped up and stopped the agents from getting close. “Step aside! O
“President Quint?!” Astral was shocked when he saw Darcy. His eyes widened oddly as he stared at Pete. “Pete, don’t tell me the nice thing you were referring to is President Quint…” Just when Darcy was wondering why Pete would bring her to Landor Residence, she spotted Astral. She stared at Pete coldly and asked, “What is the meaning of this?”’ “You don’t know? You are the main dish tonight!” Pete grinned as he scrutinized Darcy from top to bottom. He then turned to Astral and scoffed, “Astral, I heard you got beef with Kaze Lee. I got his wife here and I’m sharing her with you. What do you say?” Darcy was infuriated by Pete’s diminishing words but her angry look aroused him even more. Astral glanced at Darcy’s stunning looks and voluptuous body. His heart raced for a moment before it skipped a beat when he thought of Darcy’s husband. “Pete, I have to give it to you. You really know how to court death.” Astral looked at Pete as if he was a corpse. Only those
“Hehe. President Quint, you better worry about yourself first,” Pete scoffed. He then looked at Astral and gestured an invite. “Astral, come on. I can let you go first. This is what friends are for. I’ll tell the Viper’s Den agents to leave.” He then took a camera and a tripod out and began setting it up in front of Darcy, seemingly trying to record the horrible act. Astral glanced at him and said, “Pete, I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Mr. Lee is still alive, and if he gets out of this alive, aren’t you afraid he will come after you?” Even though Pete confidently called Kaze a dead man, Astral’s head remained clear and sane. He did not fall into the trap. Ever since Kaze strapped him to the helicopter and flew around the city naked, the man became his biggest fear. Before seeing Kaze’s body with his own eyes, he dared not act recklessly. “Make it out alive? Are you kidding me?” Pete rolled his eyes and scoffed, “The branch leader, Magnus Fuller, wants Kaze Lee dead
