Unfortunately, Connor had a bad history with Kaze. In other words, his future was hanging on a thread and Kaze had the scissors to cut it. As his words subsided, sudden realization struck Kaze. Kaze looked at Connor and asked, “Oh right, Mr. Lewis, I just remembered about the phone call yesterday. You said I am a useless businessman so you didn’t take my words seriously. Is this how you show your respect?” Thump! Connor dropped on his butt, looking devastated. Kaze ignored Connor and asked the staff member, “Is Mandy Yipz from South River University here? Let’s save some time and bring her in as well.” “Yes, sir.” The moment Connor heard Mandy’s name, he realized that everything happened because of her. He started shaking. “Mr. Lee, I didn’t mean it! It was all Mandy’s fault! She made you mad so I fired her, but someone interfered…” He got up on his feet and started bowing at Kaze, apologizing for what he did. Kaze leaned back in his seat and looked at the nervous
“Mr. Lewis, do I deserve it?” Kaze asked casually. Connor was struck with shock and pain. He covered his face and said timidly, “Y-Yes!” Mandy was stunned by the reply and the scene. Kaze slapped Connor in the face! The strangest thing was that Connor took the slap without even rebuking. What happened? Slap! Kaze slapped him again. “You took my money and failed to deliver!” Slap! “It’s my duty to donate as a wealthy person?” Slap! Kaze swung his hand left and right, slapping Connor repeatedly on both his flabby cheeks. Connor’s head was rocking like a ship sailing through rough waves. Despite his anger overflowing to the point of erupting, he did his best to contain his emotions. He dared not dodge the slaps or fight back. Getting slapped in the face was better than ending up in jail. Mandy was stunned. She stared blankly at the scene as disbelief flooded her mind. Why would Connor allow Kaze to slap him? How did Kaze do it? She could not wrap her
Kaze’s expression turned gloomy. “I want you to deal with it!” Connor shuddered and stuttered, “S-Sure…” A quick thought later, he looked at Kaze and said, “First, we take down the announcement on the official website of the university and reinstate Rose Oceanid’s admission status. The School of Arts will also issue a public apology. “Second, since this incident started with Mandy abusing her position for her personal gains, I suggest we report her wrongdoing to the authorities and fire her. “Third, we will return the hundred million to you, Mr. Lee.” Connor spoke with utmost respect and flatter. His mind was still clear and was able to come up with the optimal solution. Reinstating Rose’s admission and firing Mandy were necessary. “Sounds good.” Kaze was satisfied with the solution Connor provided and nodded. As for Mandy, even though the woman was wicked, other than firing her and ruining her reputation, there were no other effective ways to punish her. Her face
After Connor scolded Mandy, he turned to Kaze with an apologetic look. “Mr. Lee, I’ll tell the faculty to call the authorities now and expose this wicked woman of her true colors!” “Nevermind. I’ll do it myself.” Kaze emotionlessly pulled his phone out and made a call. “Principal Siber? It’s me, Kaze Lee.” To ensure Mandy’s despair, Kaze turned on the speaker mode. “Yes, Mr. Lee, is there anything I can do for you?” Robb’s respectful voice came from the phone. From that moment onward, Mandy’s heart sank to the bottom of the abyss. Even the principal of the university showed so much respect to Kaze. Not even Cosmo could do that. Thump! Mandy fell on her butt, spacing out. A moment later, she regained her consciousness and crawled over to Kaze. “Kaze Lee, please! Don’t do this, let me go! I was wrong, I am sorry for what I did! I’ll take back what I said! I’ll wash your feet, I’ll do anything…” She cried a river as she pleaded for mercy. She finally lowered
“Kaze, what happened?” When Kaze came home, the whole family looked at him, hoping for answers to their burning questions. Even Darcy was curious. Yesterday, she lowered herself to beg Mandy for a chance and even tried to arrange a meeting for her with the new mayor. Kaze honestly said, “I called the governor, which led me to the principal of South River University. I told him about that woman’s wrongdoings and she got fired.” Everyone was surprised that it happened so easily and swiftly. Even Nelson started to look at Kaze differently. Kaze had the number of the governor of the state? He could even ask for favors from the governor? Darcy accepted the explanation easily. She said, “Kaze, you shouldn’t always trouble the governor. You are exhausting the favors with the governor.” “Got it.” Kaze smiled and nodded. He was happy that Darcy was always this considerate. “Kaze, thank you!” Rose hopped over like a happy bunny and curled her arms around Kaze’s. The smi
Astonished, Cosmo widened his eyes and muttered, “No way, that useless piece of shit finally got in power?” The news was impactful. Kaze became the mayor of Lilyrose. How? What made him mayor? However, in less than a minute, Cosmo successfully digested the news because it might be true. The new mayor never showed himself in public. The rumor of the new mayor coming from a wealthy and powerful family was never verified. Both rumors seemed to fit Kaze’s description. Mandy said, “Mr. Cosmo, I think you shouldn’t go after Kaze Lee. He’s able to call favors from the governor and the principal of South River University. You can’t win…” Slap! Cosmo stopped Mandy from finishing her sentence with a slap on the face. “You’re comparing me with that useless shit? He’s just a mayor of Lilyrose. So what if he can call favors from Loid Farland? He won’t be governor forever, but the Lees are the forever ruler of the South River State!” Similar to his cousin Narian, Cosmo was al
Thump! As Cosmo's voice faded, the seven men knelt in a single line and looked at him in fear. “W-We’re sorry! We didn’t know you were really from the Lee family. Young Master Cosmo, please forgive us…” the men stuttered and begged. They were mortified. Cosmo’s expression turned cold. “Forgive you? Sure, if you work for me. I want you to deal with Kaze Lee and his wife. I’ll spare your life if you do it.” “Y-Young Master Cosmo, Kaze Lee has a strong supporter in the underworld, we dared not go after him…” said one of the men with a pale look. Two other men shook their heads in agreement. Even though they received orders from Kaze back in the detention center to teach Cosmo a lesson, they never knew him personally and had only heard of his name. They had always been aware of Kaze’s influence in the underworld. If Kaze was able to command them to teach Cosmo a lesson in the detention center, it already stated how powerful he was. They were nothing but common thugs, and th
The executives got into their respective cars and made their way to Yamato Hotel. In the VIP room of Yamato Hotel were the four men who had met with Cosmo earlier, dressed in suits and sitting like gangsters. Their lustful eyes were scrutinizing the waitress’ tight shirt. The leader of the group was Glang and his phone just rang. When he saw the caller ID, his expression shifted. He gestured for the waitress to leave before answering the phone respectfully. “Young Master Cosmo, we have already arrived at Yamato Hotel. Darcy Quint is on her way. “Don’t worry. We will carry out the task you’ve assigned us. All four of us can drink and we are the God of Alcohol in our circle. We have never lost a drinking game.” Glang nodded and bowed repeatedly even though he was on the phone. Cosmo’s voice was heard saying, “Stay focused. After that woman was abducted a few times, she got bodyguards around her. That’s why I want you to pretend as businessmen from Sunrise City to approach
