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
“You fuck, you hit me?!” Astral covered his face, shouting at Pete. He did not expect someone who had been trying to impress and flatter him would slap him in the face. What gave him the nerve? Thump! Pete stomped on Astral’s face. “So what? Who do you think you are? The eldest son of the Glitter family? I’m scared. Hahaha! My family is a distant relative of Magnus Fuller. With him on our side, why the fuck should I care about you anymore? “I slapped you in the face because you deserved it! You stupid ass! Look at yourself in the mirror, you moron!” Pete continued stomping as he scolded Astral. The more submissive he had been in front of Astral, the more arrogant he was now. The moment he seized power, his arrogance skyrocketed. It reflected his character a lot. Throughout the entire process, the Viper’s Den agents watched with a grin on their faces. They looked down on Pete and the likes of him, but they did not want to intervene. Quite the opposite, they fel
Pete grinned. “Enjoy? Fine.” Darcy subtly took a step back and turned her face away. Pete was delighted. He thought Darcy had thought it through and given up. He started to undress himself. Suddenly, Darcy curled her lips and scoffed, “Pete Fuller, are you sure you still can get it up? Look at you. You’re weak, you’re exhausted after a few kicks, are you sure you want to do this?” “What are you talking about?” Pete’s hands froze while unbuttoning his shirt. His brows furrowed and his expression was one of dismay. As a matter of fact, he was suffering from erectile dysfunction due to his addiction to alcohol and drugs, and he had to rely on more drugs to get aroused. Darcy stabbed him in the weak spot with her words. She looked at him in contempt and said, “You know exactly what I am talking about.” Slap! Pete slapped Darcy to the floor. His expression turned ferocious as he shouted, “You bitch! No one has ever talked to me like that!” Darcy covered her face. H
“Stop it right there!” The Viper’s Den agents were alarmed and quickly stepped in to prevent Kaze and Darcy from leaving. Kaze frowned. Leaving immediately was no longer an option, so he tapped Darcy’s shoulder and said, “Conan is outside waiting for me, go.” “Be careful, Kaze… Ugh!” Darcy covered her mouth as her face turned pale. She nodded reluctantly and ran outside the building. Back at the abandoned factory in the suburbs, she saw many dead Zion mercenaries but she did not react this strongly because she did not see the wounds or cuts on the bodies. Pete’s case was different because the entire scene happened right before her eyes with the bloody arm falling off. After Darcy left the building, Kaze turned around to the agents and looked at them calmly. “You guys trying to make me stay?” “You cut someone’s arm off in front of us and you’re trying to walk away like nothing happened? What’s on your mind?” the leader of the group questioned Kaze. When he saw the Neth
