“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
“Haha, Glitter. I think I’m beginning to like Arcadia.” Christian burst out laughing and patted Sirius’ shoulder. After a bout of laughter, Christian then said, “I heard that you’re here to arrest Kaze over Gareth’s murder. I think you can process the death of my employees and Gareth’s case together.” “No problem. Both cases fall in Viper’s Den’s jurisdiction.” Sirius took Christian’s suggestion without hesitation. Kaze was about to die anyway. These foreigners were pleased to get their revenge before Kaze died. “Alright.” Christian turned to Kaze with a ruthless smile. “You ordered everyone from Zion to leave the country in three days, Kaze.“In our part of the world, someone with your views would be considered a classic nationalist.“It’s time for you to experience what it’s like to die at the hands of your own people. “That reminds me. As a friend, I could talk to Viper’s Den’s higher management to make sure you don’t die so quickly. “Have fun. I heard Viper’s
Cheryl, Mary Sue, Christian, and the others snickered. “That’s a good idea, Chief Glitter. Make Kaze kneel and cuff himself. I wouldn’t want to miss that,” Mary Sue said with a wicked smile. Kaze responded indifferently, “Are you sure, Sirius? Are you going to make me kneel and bind my hands?” “What? Do you take yourself for a VIP?” Sirius dropped the façade and sneered. “You might be living like a king in Lilyrose and have friends in the mayor’s office, Mr. Lee. “But you’re nothing in the Viper’s Den’s eyes.“I don’t want to waste my breath with you. Either kneel and cuff, or I’ll make you.” Sirius raised his gun and pointed at Kaze’s head. Narrowing his eyes, Kaze was ready to strike. A figure emerged behind Sirius with a raised leg. “Wham!”The sudden attack slammed Sirius to the ground with a grunt. “Protect Chief Glitter.” The subordinates near Sirius went white and pointed their guns at the perpetrator in military uniform. “Are you pointing those things
