Sky heard that his family won the jackpot and bought a big house, but he did not expect it to be Horizon Mirror at Skylar View Residential Area. When the car drove into the neighborhood, Sky’s jaw dropped and remained open until they reached the house. Agnes was delighted to welcome her son back and she prepared a feast. Darcy came back for the meal as well. The family sat down at the table to celebrate over the elaborate meal. “Did you hear, the club that Tiffany Chapman ran was ruined! It’s all over the news now!” Agnes spoke of the news halfway through lunch. She seemed intrigued. Darcy was rendered speechless by her mother’s reaction. “Mom, why are you so happy that Socialite Club was ruined? The customers there are rich and influential, but it has nothing to do with us.” “What do you mean it has nothing to do with us?” Agnes cried in surprise and then gloated, “The three families snatched the Hilfinger Corporation from us and made us the laughingstock. They had i
Master Quint was frightened. The Quint family was just a second-tier family, there was no way they could stand against a first-tier family, let alone the Vikroms and the Logmans. He turned around to Samus and Deborah. “Which one of you went to Socialite Club yesterday?” “Grandfather, we came here yesterday and didn’t go out.” Samus and Deborah were frightened as well. They swore they had never been to Socialite Club before. Rudy stepped up to vouch for his children. “Then it must be the other family members. Call them back now!” Master Quint said with clenched teeth. Rudy made the call and summoned all the other family members back to the house. Deborah then said, “I heard Sky came home for his semester break. Could it be him?” “Whether it is him or not, call them here first. We must give the Vikrom and Logman families an explanation today,” Master Quint said as a promise to the two butlers. The butlers grunted impatiently. They did not have time to wait for the Q
Kaze then drove off to the Vikrom family. Agnes did not believe him at all. Sky broke the legs of Howl and Daniel, the sons of the Vikrom and Logman families, not just any rando. She grabbed Darcy’s arms and cried, “Darcy, think of something. Sky is your little brother. He broke their legs because of you. Those two families will never spare him…” She dared not finish the sentence. Considering how vicious the Vikrom and Logman families were, breaking Sky's legs would be the least they could do. “Mom, calm down. Let me think…” Darcy’s mind was blank. The only help she could think of was Miru, but even she could not deal with two first-tier families combined. While she anxiously thought of a solution, she received a call from an unknown number. “Is this Ms. Darcy Quint? I am Eliot Everia. I heard your brother was taken to the Vikrom family. Maybe I can help get your brother back…” Eliot Everia? Darcy knew he was the first son of the Everia family, but she barely knew
The Chapmans informed the Vikrom and Logman families that Howl and Daniel were hospitalized. However, they did not tell them who thrashed Socialite Club. The Chapmans wanted it to remain a secret. A high-end club run by them got thrashed by a useless son-in-law of a second-tier family. The news alone was humiliating enough and they would not want others to laugh at them. Hmph! A member of the Logman family scoffed, “Are you kidding me? That useless brother-in-law of yours? If he was the one who thrashed the club, I’ll eat shit!” “This little bastard is trying to waste our time! He really thinks someone will save him. Hahaha…” The Vikrom and Logman families laughed at him. They did not believe a word Sky said. Vicky mocked him, “No one can save you now. Even if God is here, he won’t be able to take you away! You are doomed the moment you swing the bat at my brother’s leg.” “Make him kneel for a day and we’ll torture him later!” someone said. It was suicidal for a y
Kaze's shout was as loud as thunder, shaking even the entire Landor Residential Area. Vicky and the others who were closer to him felt an extreme pain in their ears. The shout was so powerful that it felt as if their souls were being blown out of their bodies. They stared at Kaze blankly, stunned by the sheer energy of the shout. Deep inside the mansion, Bernard was talking to Peter, the head of the Logman family, and they were discussing Howl’s and Daniel’s injuries. Suddenly, a terrifying roar resounded, shaking even their cups of tea on the table. Even though Bernard and Peter were seasoned family heads, accustomed to storms, they were paled by the bellow. What was even more terrifying was the name they heard. “Kaze Lee?” Bernard and Peter exchanged a quick look and saw the horror in each other’s eyes. The name left a strong impression on them. They saw the young man in person during the rebuilding of the new Construction and Material Society. They knew how power
The others from the Vikrom and Logman families knelt as well. They dared not stand while their heads of families were kneeling in fear of the young man, so it must mean he held the power to annihilate them easily. They had made a huge mistake! Kaze looked at Vicky and the others coldly. “That’s it? You think kneeling is enough? All of you slapped Sky right? Now slap yourself like how you slapped him just now!” Slap! Slap! Slap! Vicky and the others slapped themselves immediately and did not hold back. The continuous slaps sounded like a round of applause celebrating Sky’s innocence. When all of their faces were swollen, Kaze tapped Sky’s shoulder and brought him away. “Come on.” The two of them then left the mansion. The slaps continued for a little longer before they stopped. Other than Bernard and Peter, everyone else from the two families had swollen faces. “Vicky, you almost doomed us all!” Bernard shouted at his granddaughter. Peter lashed out at his fami
Kaze was infuriated. He exuded a ferocious aura that could frighten others easily. Agnes and Sky were terrified. Their faces turned pale. It was their first time seeing Kaze this angry. “Kaze, what happened?” Sky asked. Kaze went off without saying a word. He called Draco while driving out of the construction site. He said, “Tell Lone Wolf to bring his men. I want him to take over Nation Hotel as soon as possible!” He hung up the phone and drove off to the hotel. “Everia, if something happened to Darcy, I’ll drag every one of you to hell!” At the presidential suite of Nation Hotel, a handsome young man was seen drinking wine on the couch as Darcy stepped in. He looked relaxed but when he laid eyes on Darcy, a strange zeal and lust appeared in his eyes. Darcy felt uncomfortable while being stared at. “Mr. Everia, why did you change the location from the restaurant to the suite?” “I’ve heard Ms. Quint is a beautiful woman and now that I’ve seen you in person, you
“Eliot Everia, anything but this!” Darcy begged. “Then I’ll tell the Vikrom family to kill your husband.” Eliot picked up his phone and called Vicky. “The useless son-in-law of the Quint family, is he there at your place?” “Yeah, Eliot.” Vicky’s voice came from the phone. Eliot glanced at the pale-looking Darcy. “Kill him!” He sounded casual as if he was telling Vicky to kill an ant. “No! Please! No!” Darcy was devastated! How could Eliot kill someone at will? Why was there no one to punish him for his crimes? The call went quiet for a moment before Vicky said, “I’m sorry, Eliot.” Eliot was stunned. “Sorry? What do you…” “You don’t know? That’s because she dared not kill me.” An emotionless voice sounded all of a sudden. Darcy was startled. She turned around to the entrance and saw Kaze. “Kaze!” Eliot was surprised. “The hotel is filled with my men! How did you get in?” Eliot was shocked. He looked at Kaze anxiously and in fear. Not only did Kaze
Joan, a Quint member in Riverbank, walked in the front. She glared at Rhys and yelled, “Bastard! Didn’t you say that you were in Westeros attending some film festival? Why are you still in Riverbank?” Rhys looked at his girlfriend, who put him on a tight leash lately, and said awkwardly, “Well, the film festival is over. I arrived home early. I just got back.” He and Joan had been dating for six months. They were not serious, though. There were a lot more women for Rhys to explore in the world. He did not want to be held down by a ball and chain. However, his father, Boris, felt that it was time for Rhys to get married and have kids. Since Joan came from a prestigious family, Rhys got together with her. Joan had always been the one to act submissive in his presence. She would turn a blind eye to his romantic pursuits and even cover for him. Rhys understood well that Joan would be marrying up. However, Joan had been getting full of herself lately. It was not her fi
“Do you know who Mr. Road is? His father is Boris Road, one of Riverbank’s four underground kingpins. “If you don’t want trouble, you better delete the video now!” The group turned white and deleted the video. They might not understand the threat that came with Great Road Group. However, Boris, one of Riverbank’s four underground kingpins, had been a menace for twenty years. No one would want to get on his bad side. Many shook their heads and sighed. No one could save Sasha now. It was a shame that the innocent and pretty girl ran into Rhys today. They knew what would happen to Sasha at the hands of Rhys. No one dared to speak up against Rhys’ indecent behavior in broad daylight. “Sasha is your name? It’s beautiful. You can use it as your stage name.” Rhys did not care what others thought about him. As Sasha shivered in fear, Rhys stood proud at his decision to slap the sales representative. He gave Sasha’s cheek a squeeze and said with a lewd smile, “Trust me. Get
“I’m sorry, mister, but I’m not interested in becoming a star.” Sasha backed away and said firmly but politely, “I’m waiting for a friend. Please leave me alone.” While talking, she looked outside for Kaze. Rhys was surprised that Sasha would turn him down without hesitation. He said with a grimace, “You’re not interested? What are you interested in? “Why are you saying no to money?” Sasha was scared as the guy would not leave her alone. She replied, “I just want to finish school. Now isn’t the time to think about money.” She took out her phone to call Kaze. “Aren’t you rude?” Rhys commented with a fake smile. He snatched Sasha’s phone, and the latter panicked and uttered in fright, “G-Give that back!” “I offered you a shortcut in life, and you should’ve taken it.” Rhys released his grip, and the phone dropped to the floor. “Crack!” He stomped on the phone and said grimacingly, “Don’t act like you’re above all, gold digger. What’s a poor college girl doing at
Out of the two young sidekicks, one sported a soft gray hair while the other had a buzz cut and a shaved undercut along his temple. The pair checked Sasha out, their eyes reflecting greed. Since their leader made a request, the pair played nice. Since their leader took a fancy to the girl, the two sidekicks no longer stood a chance. Maybe when their leader had enough, they would have a go with the girl too. “Are you… Talking to me?” Taken aback, Sasha looked at the leader. The man was in his thirties. Despite his good looks, his heavy eyebags and pale face were pretty off-putting. Sasha had no idea that these were symptoms of bad habits, alcoholism, overindulgence, and lack of exercise. Still, the man gave off a disgusting and fearful vibe to Sasha. The man smiled at Sasha pretentiously, lewdly, and maliciously. The customers stepped away, not wanting to get on the man’s nerves. “I won’t hit on anyone else but you.” The man thought he made a pretty badass comm
Kaze said with a smile, “Alright. A few thousand, it is.” He was relieved to see Sasha staying true to herself despite knowing that he was rich. Kaze wanted to put Sasha in something nice to save her from being mocked. At the same time, he did not want her to acquire something too high of value without putting in some kind of effort. It would not be a good thing for Sasha. The present situation was perfect. Ruby grimaced and looked at the sales representative with a sneer. She said, “I hope you’re not in on this too.“Hundreds of millions in transactions? Him?” Ruby may act like an adult, but her experience was limited to the academic world. She would not imagine that kind of money. The sales representative cocked her head back and said curtly, “Ma’am, the problem isn’t in the lack of knowing, but ignorance coupled with arrogance is. “Don’t question things you don’t understand.” The sales representative could care less about her manners now. Her manager warned
“His act was so convincing. He nearly got me fooled.” “Tsk! So we have a repeat offender in our hands.” Ruby and Lance felt the sweet taste of vengeance. They were this close to believing Kaze was wealthy. The female customers in the crowd looked at Kaze in disdain. Kaze sure went all out to tell the sales representative to put the bill on his card when his bank account was empty. At least Lance was honest. He could not make the payment because his card was frozen. “Now you know, girl. There are a lot of men out there, pretending they are made of money to scam young, innocent girls like you.” “Don’t be so nice to the bastard. Just tell him to get lost.” Two kind customers persuaded Sasha. Sasha waved her arms with a red face. “No, Kaze isn’t putting on a show. I didn’t want this gown anyway.” She could not bring herself to put on a two-hundred-thousand-dollar gown. Ruby scoffed. “Oh, stop defending Kaze. He’s just a poser.“Haha! Only a hick like you would fall
With a darkened expression, Ruby commanded Lance, “Don’t you have a lot of wealthy friends? Just get two hundred thousand from them. Call them and ask them for help!” Lance gradually lost his patience. “They are not the friends who would lend me money. I should be grateful that they don’t come to me for money, and you are asking me to go to them for help? “It’s just a dress. Why are we buying it today? Let’s just do a rain check. When my father unfreezes my credit card, I’ll buy you something more expensive!” He wanted to take Ruby away but the woman was being stubborn. Anger rushed to her head as she shook Lance’s hand off. She shouted, “You useless piece of shit, you can’t even afford a two-hundred-grand dress? Don’t touch me! Get out of my face!” Lance got mad too. “If you have the fucking money, buy it yourself! I’m not your husband! You are begging me to buy it but you’re raising your voice?!” “You?!” Ruby wanted to slap some sense into Lance but the other customers
Ruby was confident in her body. Her physique allowed her to wear all kinds of beautiful dresses flawlessly, so she knew she would fit in the gown without even trying. However, the gown had a pure and innocent vibe, which did not fit her demeanor and temperament. The different style did not bother her because she was carried away by the price tag; the more expensive it was, the more it satisfied her vanity. “Miss, this is the most expensive gown in our store. It was created by a famous designer overseas. It cost two hundred thousand,” said the storekeeper. “Two hundred thousand for a gown?! Even the celebrities aren’t wearing something this expensive!” “Yeah. Maybe the top celebrities can afford it but a small one could never!” “Forget about it. We won’t be able to afford it, but it’s nice to have a look.” “I can’t afford it either. Different people, different lives.” When the price was revealed, the other customers gasped in astonishment, followed by regret and jealousy
Ruby thought that after mocking Sasha and Kaze, they would leave the store with a sour look, yet the two of them went to another section to continue shopping. Sasha’s timid figure was a pain in her eyes. In the other section, Kaze asked the storekeeper to do the same as the previous store. “Pick a gown for my sister here. She’s going to wear it to emcee at a party.” To their surprise, Ruby and Lance came after them. “You two poor bastards, get out of the way! Can you even afford the clothes here? Hmph! “You, I want you to pick something for me that is fitting!” The female storekeeper looked troubled. “Miss, this…” “Cut the crap and get on with it!” The storekeeper was instantly defeated by Ruby’s aggressive demeanor. She quickly sized up Ruby’s body and physique and selected a red gown with a deep frontal cutting for her. “Miss, this one might look nice on you.” “Let me have a look.” Ruby took the gown and looked at the price tag. She then tossed it on the floor
