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
The man was Albert Hiden, the chief commander of the State Strategic Department. The crowd looked at Albert in shock. Albert commanded the state’s military at the tender age of 30. Though he was not on equal footing with the state governor, they would find themselves in the same meeting room. Albert was truly a remarkable individual. The likes of Hannah and Sirius were a joke in the presence of Albert. Albert fiddled with the gun in hand and said indifferently, “Even the military wouldn’t launch an armed attack on the mayor’s office. The Viper’s Den sure is cocky.” Sirius said with a grimace, “Chief Commander Hiden, we are working a case, but Mr. Lee took cover in the mayor’s office. We cornered him here out of necessity. Our intention isn’t to launch an attack on the mayor’s office.“Besides, the State Strategic Department and the Viper’s Den operate in different jurisdictions. You have no right to tell us how to do our job, Chief Commander Hiden.” Sirius’ tone, while
“Let’s get one thing straight before I leave.” Filled with resentment, Sirius said snappily, “You can protect Mr. Lee today, but what about tomorrow or the day after, Chief Commander Hiden? “I doubt you can watch over him for the rest of his life.” Albert raised a brow. “Are you threatening me?” “This is no threat.” Sirius shook his head. “I’m merely stating a fact. You are busy with the state’s military affairs. You can’t always be there for Mr. Lee. You can’t anticipate everything.” The message was clear. Since Albert was taking Kaze’s side, Sirius would wait for his chance to strike Kaze. Albert chuckled. “That’s interesting. That’s quite a retaliation for a nobody working for Viper’s Den.” He drew close and slapped Sirius to the ground. Albert stepped on Sirius’ chest and lowered down to stare him in the eyes. “Are you forgetting that I’m not just a chief commander? “Even without my decorated stars, I can crush you. “I can kill you now, and the Viper’s Den a
“Do you reckon your rivals will make a big deal out of something you think isn’t worth mentioning, Chief Commander Hiden? “The little scandal should be enough to end your career.“Come on. If you think you can handle the consequences, crush me. Hahaha” Sirius laughed maniacally and looked at Albert in defiance. Albert narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Do you think I wouldn’t kill you? I’d rather stand by my belief than protect my career.” He did not explicitly state that Kaze was his belief. Albert put weight on his foot to crush Sirius. “Albert!” Kaze stopped him and said emotionlessly, “Let him go.” Given Kaze’s authority, Albert could still keep his career even if he killed Sirius. However, Albert would face some challenges. Besides, Kaze knew Sirius was right. Great power came with great responsibility. Albert’s upbringing meant that he would shoulder a lot of responsibilities. While Albert held the prestigious position of governing the state's military, th
Madam Hacks had to step in. She could not bear to let Albert take Kaze away to roam free.Madam Hacks could care less whether Kaze was dead, but she needed the Viper’s Den to make him disappear for a while. That way, Kaze could stop his influence on Loid. In fact, the experience should serve as a strong reminder to Loid to let Kingston go. Hence, Madam Hacks put a label on Albert and threatened him with his superiors.However, Albert was not afraid of intimidation. “The Geranium Hackses?” Albert glanced at Madam Hacks before approaching to slap her. “Smack!” Madam Hacks, despite her connections to the Glitters and Hackses, took a hit in the face. She looked nothing like a lady with her disheveled hair and swollen cheek. “Ah! How dare you hit me!” Madam Hacks covered her face and shrieked hysterically. The malice in her eyes showed her determination to tear Albert apart. However, Albert could care less. He said curtly, “You aren’t legally married to the Hackses.
The mention of the God of War washed color off Christian’s red face. The name struck fear in Christian even though he was a war veteran. Heck, the God of War became the nightmare of countless in the five strongest nations. Sirius, Madam Hacks, and the others grimaced. It was said that Albert once served under the God of War. The God of War also attended Albert’s appointment ceremony in Lilyrose. It was scary enough that Albert was the chief commander of the State Strategic Department and part of the Harrowdale Hidens. They were kept on their toes by Albert’s relationship with the God of War. There was another powerful figure who lay no more than 50 miles away in the local military base. He was Draco, who held sway over the military in five states. The man was also the God of War’s right-hand man. “I’m sorry, Chief Commander Hiden, it wasn’t my place to speak.” Christian backed down. Though treated like royalty by others, his expat status meant nothing to the G
Sirius paused and turned around to look at Kaze with a frown. He looked at Kaze like he was an unappreciative clown.“Mr. Lee, I’m letting you off the hook because of Chief Commander Hiden. Don’t be ungrateful. “You better cherish every second of your life. The Viper’s Den won’t let you get away with stealing the Nether Viper Sword,” Sirius said coldly. Kaze sure was oblivious to the fact that he could crush him before Albert came along. Sirius chose to leave the matter alone for now, but Kaze would not let it go. Kaze was taking things for granted. Taking steps ahead, Kaze said indifferently, “I told you that your Viper Queen has to come and retrieve the sword from me. “But the issue is that this is not Nether Viper Sword. “You had the mayor’s office surrounded and fired shots at my people. You even wanted me to cuff myself on my knees. “Do you think we’re even just because Albert kicked you around a little? “Here’s the deal. You’re not walking out of Lilyrose ali
“Who are you to challenge the Viper’s Den’s authority, lowlife?” While Madam Hacks appeared to be mocking Kaze, she was actually stirring the pot.She would love it if Kaze and the Viper’s Den could be at each other’s throats. Madam Hacks hated Kaze’s guts. Kaze, the loser, not only got Kingston arrested, but he also got his nose in her business. Today, Albert slapped her because of Kaze, and the legality of her marriage was challenged too. Madam Hacks would rather die than be humiliated. Since she could not do anything to Albert, she took out her anger on Kaze. As Sirius said, Albert could not always be there for Kaze. “Lowlife?” Kaze narrowed his eyes at Madam Hacks. “You still don’t seem to have a clue who the lowlife is here.” He was enraged moments ago. If Albert had not shown up out of the blue, corpses would have piled up outside the mayor’s office. The fifth wife of the Hacks family head was no threat to Kaze. He could easily kill her. Not getting th
