“Are you alright, sir?” Fear gripped Yves as he saw a terrifying look on Magnus’ face, which was anything he had ever encountered.“Ugh… I’m fine.” Magnus struggled as he shifted his gaze and said with a raspy voice, “The bastard is looking for trouble.” He hissed through clenched teeth. Yves assumed Magnus was furious that Kaze employed the same tactic on him. He persuaded, “Don’t be mad, sir. Lee is obnoxious. I doubt he takes anyone seriously.“The scroll won’t do anything to him. He needs to be killed, and I think you’re the best person for the job, sir.” Magnus scoffed and spoke hoarsely, “He doesn’t deserve my attention.” “What do we do now?” Yves was in a daze. Even Hannah was ruined. Among Viper’s Den, only Magnus stood a chance against Kaze. Magnus said with a grimace, “Issue an order that Sirius will replace Hannah’s position. Send him to Lilyrose with firearms. He must bring back the Nether Viper Sword and Kaze. “Times have changed. We can’t just fi
After much thought, Kaze gave Draco a call. “How are Sven and Wolf doing?” Draco replied, “They have passed all physical tests. The lab reports their progress live.” “Alright. Send them back in the next few days to protect Darcy. Make sure they are equipped with the license to kill. “Tell them to kill anyone who tries to harm Darcy,” Kaze said curtly. He was not worried about himself, but Darcy could be a target. Conan’s henchmen were no match for an organization like the Viper’s Den. … The next day, Kaze went to the mayor’s office. Conan was waiting outside Skylar View District. Standing next to him was Astral whose head was bruised and patched up. Conan would give him annoyed looks from time to time. “Why are you here?” Kaze drew close and looked at Astral. Astral hunched over and said, “I heard Sirius had flown to Lilyrose. I thought I would come by in case he tries something with you. I am set to succeed the family. Even if he hates me, he should take my o
“Chief of Viper’s Den’s serious crime unit?” Kaze raised a brow. “If I remember correctly, Hannah is the chief.” Sirius smiled. “Thanks to you, Mr. Fuller stripped Chief Delmore of her title and promoted me. “Come to think of it, I wouldn’t get the promotion if it weren’t for you, Mr. Lee,” Sirius said earnestly. He looked at Kaze with gratitude. Kaze grinned nonchalantly, his gaze brushing past the members of the Viper’s Den. “So is this the gratitude you’re showing, Chief Glitter?” Kaze remarked sarcastically. “Don’t put it that way. Business is business.” Sirius said with a smile, “From a personal standpoint, I’m grateful to you, Mr. Lee. “But you’re suspected of killing Gareth and twenty-odd of his students. You have also wounded our agents.“As the chief of the serious crime unit, it’s my duty to arrest suspects and bring them to justice.“Due to the nature of your crime, Mr. Fuller has asked me to bring you back to Westeros for punishment. “Since I owe you o
“Kaze, you should come with us if you know what’s good for you. Chief Glitter is only being nice to show you the sights of Westeros before you die.” “This should serve as a lesson for you. If you find yourself coming from a small place in your next life, you might want to think twice before getting so full of yourself.” “Don’t just stand there. Get in the car. Chief Glitter is patient, but we’re not.” Several members of the Viper’s Den tore into Kaze. They wanted to complete the task quickly and received an award alongside their leader, Sirius. Hannah was powerless against Kaze. To make matters worse, she lost the Nether Viper Sword too. Yves could not stop Kaze either. He ditched his incapacitated comrades and fled to Westeros with his tail tucked between his legs. Now that it was Sirius and his crew’s turn, they were going to apprehend Kaze and retrieve the Nether Viper Sword. When that happened, the team would rise in prominence within the organization and be given p
Bang!This time, Sirius shot Astral’s knee. Astral let out a harrowing cry before collapsing to the ground. He hugged his knee in agony. Hiss.Gasps filled the air. It was bad enough that Sirius shot Conan, but he fired at Astral too. Astral was his cousin and the future head of the family. Yet, Astral was more savage than Conan. Since he shot Astral’s knee at close range, the sheer force of the bullet would blow the latter’s kneecap apart. Even if Astral survived the shot, he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. It could be a sign that Sirius was severing ties with the Glitters. The expressions of the crowd when they looked at Sirius went from horror to sheer terror. They believed Sirius was either an idiot or simply cold-blooded. Sirius blew off the smoke residue and glanced at Astral, who was whimpering on the ground. He said callously, “As the successor of the family, you’re embarrassing the family by groveling at the feet of a nobody
Despite being held at gunpoint, Kaze looked callously at Sirius. “I told you. I’m not going anywhere without an arrest warrant. “You don’t have one, though. I know your plans. You want to silence me. “The Viper’s Den is supposed to work for the nation, but now it has become a tool for some of you for personal gains.“That’s including you, Sirius. This is the Viper’s Den's third visit, and in all three visits, I’ve been accused without proof. Is this what your organization stands for? “The Viper’s Den needs a serious shake-up, a thorough reform. It’s time to get this organization back on track.”Before Sirius said anything, the group beside him started laughing. “A shake-up? How are you going to do that?” “Aren’t you full of yourself, Mr. Lee?” “Do you know how many subdivisions of the Viper’s Den are spread across Arcadia?”“Do you know who is in the higher management of the Viper’s Den?” “Your speech about a so-called reform will get you killed once word gets out.”
Madam Hacks measured Sirius up in shock. Sirius, long overlooked by the family due to his birth, emerged as surprisingly audacious.He fired a shot at Astral, the successor of the family. The Hackses in Geranium City were a big family. The head of the family had five wives. Madam Hacks was the youngest wife out of the five. Larger groups were magnets for drama and conflict. The Hackses’ squabbling and disputed assets often featured in the city’s tabloids. Madam Hacks’ secured foothold in the Hacks family was a testament to her diplomacy in power struggles.She quickly realized what Sirius was after. Madam Hacks decided to support Sirius in establishing himself in the family and even becoming the next head of the household. She stood to gain a bountiful reward for choosing the right guy to invest in.At the very least, the decision would strengthen her position in the Hacks family. With that in mind, Madam Hacks smiled. “You did the right thing, Sirius. The Glitt
Kaze said sharply, “Christian, you and your group of mercenaries entered the country illegally and abducted my wife. I was kind and gracious enough to spare your lives and gave you three days to leave Arcadia. “But I guess you don’t know what’s best for you. You have the nerve to pose as a sales representative for Zion Trade Network to make false claims about me. “You’re really asking for it.” Kaze stared at Christian, his eyes reflecting bloodthirst. Most of the people at the scene were shocked. They could not believe Kaze vowed violence against Christian before their eyes. Even if Christian lacked Madam Hacks’ support and the sales representative title from Zion Trade Network, Kaze’s rudeness toward a Paladin like Christian was uncalled for.Foreigners tended to get special treatment and privileges in Arcadia. Christian sneered. “Zion Trade Network is a legitimate business, Kaze. The Paladian’s foreign office can vouch for that. We entered the country through the right
