“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
A fleet of fancy cars raced at 120 miles an hour along the express lane to Lilyrose airport. Magnus sat in the backseat of a Maybach among the fleet with his eyes closed and face discolored and sweaty. His abdomen burned with excruciating pain. “Sir, we won’t have any place in the Viper’s Den if we flee to Westeros. “We’re better off striking with firearms. So what if he knows the Viper Queen? A dead man has no value.” Magnus’ right-hand man, sitting next to him, yelled with a menacing look. Competition within the organization had always been fierce. Branches in the West State faced the most intense competition. Once word of Magnus’ defeat spread, many would be tempted to replace him. Losing the leadership role was bad enough, but the worst thing was bloodshed. Magnus’ right-hand men could likely be purged. Kaze was the cause of everything. Magnus’ men wanted to tear Kaze apart. “No!” Magnus opened his eyes abruptly and shouted sternly. His right-hand man
“We can’t be sure if it was him.” The young woman knew that Autumn was talking about Kaze. She said, “Kaze let Magnus go after incapacitating him. “A sniper killed Magnus’ driver when he was on his way to Lilyrose airport. The car lost control and caused a big pile-up on the highway.“By the time Magnus’ men got him out of the car, Magnus was long gone.” “The local police force determined through the bullet trajectory that the sniper stayed high a mile and a half away. So far there are no leads.” Autumn said with a straight face, “That’s quite a precision for a sniper to shoot a moving target a mile and a half away. The enemy knows a lot about Magnus. The distance wouldn’t have put him on high alert. “The world-class sniper can be military trained.” The young woman was taken aback, “Are you saying that Albert got rid of Magnus for Kaze?” Autumn shook her head. “You don’t understand that guy in Lilyrose. If he wanted to kill Magnus, he would have killed him there and then
