Without Albert’s support, what would Kaze do against Magnus, the branch leader of Viper’s Den? Everyone could already picture Kaze’s funeral. Sirius got up from the floor and grinned viciously. “Kaze Lee, you had Albert Hiden on your side before this and you disrespected us all. “What about now? Come on, keep it up! Or else you won’t get the chance anymore!” Sirius resented Kaze to his core. His arm was cut off and his bones were crushed. It was not possible to recover from such an injury. Even though Magnus sent him here to lure Albert into the trap, possibly injuring him severely so that Viper’s Den would have a reason to arrest the chief commander, he agreed in a heartbeat. He was willing to risk being beaten up by Albert so he could take revenge against Kaze. Unfortunately, Albert did not take the bait. Sirius was just kicked to the floor and slapped twice. The hits were not enough for Viper’s Den to arrest him, hence Master Agar’s arrival. Now Albert had been
Magnus’ eyes were burning with anger. He had never hated a person this much. It was not his first time meeting an arrogant young man; Albert was a great example. However, Albert was from a prestigious family, so his background justified his arrogance. What about Kaze? He was a useless guy who took his wife’s family name. Yet Kaze had the nerve to talk to Magnus like they were equals, bluffing without considering the consequences. What a fool! Kaze was unfazed by Magnus’ growls. He clasped his hands behind his back and said, “If you don’t want to reason with words, then skip the chatters. Let’s talk with our fists. Are you going to fight me one-on-one or with your team of vipers?” Kaze started to roll his sleeves. “Uh…” Magnus was left speechless. His words were stuck in his throat. Sirius bellowed, “Branch Leader, do it! Kaze Lee is not just challenging you, he’s challenging the entire Viper’s Den. He disregarded our authority, disregarded the law—even if you ki
“Ugh…” Sirius groaned in pain. He stared at Kaze in fear. As Kaze exerted more strength through his foot, Sirius’ chest started to cave in. His organs felt pressured and his rib cage started to break. He was scared. He finally realized Kaze was ready to kill him on the spot. He expected Kaze to attack him. His provocation was intended to lure Kaze into attacking him, thus giving Magnus a valid reason to strike. Yet he did not want to die. “Branch Leader!” As though a drowning victim, Sirius started screaming for help. His scream for help not only surprised Magnus but also woke the others from their blank state. As the people regained their senses, they were shocked. How could Kaze attack Sirius in front of Magnus? His actions were challenging death itself! Even Magnus was stunned for a moment before he reacted with a grim look. He did not understand why Kaze had the nerve to attack Sirius at this point. Without Albert’s support, Kaze was just some guy with s
Magnus was familiar with the voice, yet even with his status and position, he had only heard it a few times. The voice made a strong impression on him from the first time he heard it; it was seared into his soul. He could never forget the voice. Magnus’ mind went blank all of a sudden. He stiffly looked at Kaze, unable to believe what just happened. How did Kaze get this person’s number? Why would this person answer Kaze’s call? Ignoring Magnus’ inconceivable gaze, Kaze spoke into the phone, “It’s me, Kaze Lee.” “Kaze Lee?” The woman’s voice on the line sounded frosty, somewhat angry. It was as though she did not know who Kaze was and was annoyed by the anonymous phone call. Kaze smiled and explained, “Viper Queen, you must be too busy lately. I just received a huge gift from one of your people.” He was referring to the woman who gave him the Dallas Black Card after winning the auction. “It was you?” The woman paused for a moment before she asked, “I wonder if
Looking at the agents kneeling before Kaze, all the other guests were stunned and left speechless. Magnus, the West State Branch Leader of the Viper’s Den, got down on his knees! This could only mean the woman Kaze called must be the leader of the Viper’s Den—the legendary Viper Queen!How did Kaze get the Viper’s Queen phone number? How could someone as useless as him get to know the Viper Queen? Madam Hacks, Christian, Dakota, Trent, Syed, and the others were mortified. They were in absolute disbelief. They thought Kaze was already a dead person and even thought about how to celebrate Kaze’s death after this. Yet, once again, Kaze made an unbelievable comeback. He contacted the leader of the Viper’s Den. Judging from Magnus’ reaction after he recognized the voice in the phone and how fast he dropped to his knees, it was not difficult to know that the Viper Queen was likened to a god in the organization. Under everyone’s unbelievable gaze, Kaze turned off speaker
Kaze spoke strongly, his voice echoed across the hall. Everyone in the hall, including Magnus on his knees, widened their eyes. They did not hear what the Viper Queen said but they heard Kaze clearly. No one thought Kaze would berate the Viper Queen and diminish the Viper’s Den. He even wanted the Viper’s Den to dissolve itself. If the news got out, all thirty-five branches of the Viper’s Den would view Kaze as the common enemy and they would certainly come after his life. “God of War, what really happened? If it’s really the Viper’s Den's fault, I will make sure you get your explanation,” the Viper Queen asked calmly after a slight pause. Kaze said, “I believe you already knew what happened today. I don’t want to go into details but now, your West State Branch Leader, Magnus Fuller, had his agents surround me and wanted to kill me, before going after my family, and my assets. “I was planning to kill him but since you already knew about this, I called to ask. Does Magnus
Magnus straightened his back immediately. After Kaze pocketed his phone, he threw a slap at the man’s face. Slap! “This is for you abusing your power, disregarding people’s lives.” Slap! “This is for you covering up for your subordinates, distorting the truth.” Slap! Kaze slapped Magnus over and over again on the face. He did not hold back because of the man’s age or position. After a dozen slaps, even Magnus' strong body and sturdy physique could not withstand the impact. His head became dizzy and his body began to shake. He clenched his teeth tightly and his eyes burned with rage. He was slapped by someone younger than him in public and he could not fight back. He had never been insulted like this in his life. Everyone could see that Magnus was on the verge of exploding with rage, but he managed to reel it in. His teeth remained clenched as he endured the hits, allowing Kaze to leave a deeper red on his face. It was all because of that phone call. Regret fil
Kaze wiped his hand with the tissue and smiled at Magnus. “Never thought I knew the Viper Queen, right? I called her to put you in your place, you must feel indignant now, am I right?” “No, I dare not!” Magnus lowered his head, afraid to reveal his hatred and grievance toward Kaze. A wise man knew where he stood based on the circumstances. Losing the battle did not mean he would lose the war. Only those who prevailed would win in the end. After today, he would do anything necessary to take revenge on Kaze. He swore to return the insults he received a hundredfold. That was what he said to himself as he conceded the battle. “Look at me,” Kaze said. Magnus concealed the hatred in his eyes and looked at Kaze pitifully. Kaze stared into his eyes and said, “Branch Leader Fuller, you are quite the character, able to adapt to circumstances. You might have hidden it well but I still spotted the deep-seated hatred in your eyes.” “No, I dare not hate you, Mr. Lee!” Magnus sa
