Chapter 17 Sudden Changes

Author: Five Generals
Kaze smiled. “Yes, I am the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group, in the flesh.”

Agnes flushed. She curled her hands around Kaze’s arm tightly.

Having the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group as her son-in-law would make her the most famous lady in all of Lilyrose City.

The next time she met up with her friends, they would be envious of her. Her friends who used to look down on her would probably flatter her or kneel before her for forgiveness.

Master Quint could not contain the jealousy in his heart as he stared at the pile of expensive gifts. He went up with his glass of wine and said, “Darcy, the Quintessential Group is facing some funding issues at the moment. Can you spare some of your presents to help us overcome this problem? Consider it as a contribution to the family…”

Agnes was displeased when she heard Master Quint.

“Father, I clearly remembered that we were excommunicated. Why must we contribute to your family?”

Master Quint chuckled awkwardly. “That was jus

    “My marketing director said he doesn’t know you at all.” Could it be that Kaze was impersonating the Chairman of Sky High Investment Group? Agnes’ heart sank deep into the abyss. Darcy looked at Kaze, not knowing why he would impersonate the chairman. “But the presents are indeed for Darcy.” Kelly reluctantly explained, “I don’t know why but the presents are from the chairman. He wishes you a happy birthday.” She clenched her fists tightly when she explained and it fueled her jealousy. She thought she could finally shame Darcy in public but the chairman took a liking in her. However, if it was true, then Kaze might lose his wife soon. Kelly sized up Kaze contemptuously. Kaze was speechless. He left his men in charge of the company for years, so it was normal for the common employees to not know of his existence. Baffled, Darcy asked, “Kaze, what is going on?” Kaze explained, “Darcy, believe me. I am really the chairman.” “Enough!” Darcy glared at him. “Kaze, c

    After the phone call, Kelly bolted and left the presents behind. Everyone found it strange but the celebratory mood of the party was not affected. Even though Kaze was not the chairman, he knew the chairman, so it was possible to reach the chairman through him. Darcy and her family were heavily surrounded by guests who were trying to win over them. Agnes and Hector were flustered. They had been waiting for this moment for years and with it, they could finally lift their heads up as proud human beings, especially before their extended family. Master Quint said shyly, “Darcy, since the chairman is indebted to Kaze, why don’t you tell him to ask for an investment from the chairman? I’m not asking for much, one or two hundred million is definitely more than enough.” “Grandfather, I…” Darcy looked troubled. “What’s wrong? You can’t do it? You are a Quint and you can’t even do your family a favor?” Master Quint was displeased with her answer. Kaze knew the old man was trying

    “Mr. Lee, Sky High Investment Group is massive. It’ll take time for Ms. Quint to believe you. It’s normal. “How about this? Since the Construction and Material Society has just been dissolved, we can form a new company for the former board members and you can be the new chairman. Even though it’s not a fitting title for your status, at least you can have an official position and it will be much more convenient…” Kaze thought and nodded. "Sounds good. Sky High will provide the funds and the former board members can bring their resources to this new company. Sky High will be in control with a majority stake. Let's call it the Perfect World Group." Ray was thrilled to learn the new name of the company. With that, the former board members of the Construction and Material Society would form a working relationship with Sky High Investment Group. Kaze glanced at Ray and said, “Ray, why don’t you be the new company’s manager? I’ll just be a nominal chairman.” “My pleasure!” Ray nodde

    Darcy could no longer control her anger. She shouted, “Chief Brooks, don’t do this! I’ll call the police!” “Haha! You’re threatening me?” Ned laughed maniacally and slapped Darcy on the face. Darcy covered her swollen cheek and wanted to run but Ned caught her other hand. He pointed at the table and said, “Lay down and I’ll fuck you here and now! You bitch! Stop pretending!” “Let go of me!” Darcy struggled but she was no match for the man. Anxious, she grabbed a tumbler on the table and smashed Ned’s head with it. “Aaargh! You fucking bitch! You hit me? I’ll fucking rape you!” Ned covered his bleeding forehead and cried in pain. He was forced to release Darcy. Darcy tossed the tumbler away and ran out of the room immediately. After she left the place, she wandered alone on the street aimlessly. She was still terrified with her mind blank and clueless of what to do. Suddenly, she received a call from Samus. “Where the hell are you? Come back here right now!” Darc

    Ignoring the ferocious glares of the Quint family, Kaze went over to help Darcy up. “Darcy, let’s go home. I assure you nothing will happen.” He also helped Agnes up and brought them out of the mansion. “Darcy, you hit Ned Brooks! Do you really think you can run away like that? Turn yourself in!” “You better surrender for the sake of our family! Think of your parents! Hmph!” The others continued to threaten Darcy, causing her face to turn as pale as paper. “Kaze, send Mom and Dad home. I’ll go turn myself in.” After leaving the Quint family’s mansion, Darcy held Kaze’s hand as tears washed her face. She said, “Please take care of them. I don’t believe my grandfather and the others, but I believe in you.” Agnes was worried. She pulled Darcy away and said to Kaze, “Kaze, why don’t you take her spot? Darcy has suffered enough for the past few years and it’s all because of you.” Kaze’s heart was broken, but it was indeed his fault that Darcy and her family suffered terribly

    “What the fuck are you trying to do? Don’t come near me!” Ned instinctively retreated. His face turned pale. “Your wife hit me! One word and I can throw her behind bars for life!” “Are you threatening me?” Kaze darted forward and lifted the bastard by the collar. Bang! He rammed Ned’s head against the glass partition, leaving his head dangling outside while the rest of his body hung over the metal railing. “Aaaaaaah!” Ned screamed at the top of his lungs while struggling to get unstuck.The broken glasses cut his face, causing him to bleed terribly. “I am the Chief of the Housing Department! How dare you hit me, you fucking retard! You and your family are fucking dead!” Kaze did not say a word. He simply kicked the man’s bottom. “Aaaaaaah!” The kick squeezed Ned’s upper body out of the glass partition. The metal railing was crooked after the impact. Ned felt like his bones were all broken. Kaze went outside the office, grabbed Ned by the neck, and pulled his

    Everyone was shocked. What happened? Ned was beaten and stepped on but Johnson, his uncle and also the mayor, scolded him instead of apprehending the culprit. Johnson clenched his teeth tightly and stared at his nephew viciously. “Uncle Johnson, can’t you see? He almost killed me!” Ned continued screaming for help. “You got what you deserved!” Johnson then looked at the expressionless Kaze. He clenched his fists and teeth tightly. Then, he looked around and walked to an employee to take the baseball bat away. The employee planned to beat Kaze with the baseball bat, but it did not happen. Johnson raised the bat in the air. As more than a hundred pairs of eyes watched in disbelief, John swung the bat down at Ned. “Aaaargh!” Ned cried in pain. It was just the start. Johnson beat Ned furiously and he did not hold back at all. Ned continued to wail in pain. He had never been so insulted and humiliated before, being beaten up by his own uncle in front of more than a h

    Ned glared at his wife. He then turned to Darcy, who was mortified, and bowed apologetically. “Ms. Quint, I am so sorry, please don’t turn yourself in or whatever. I should be punished for what I did to you, you have every right to hit me!” He then slapped himself a few times. Nara was stunned by her husband’s action but she dared not say a word. She knew her husband must have offended some powerful people. “Chief Brooks, uh…” Darcy and her parents were stunned as well. Then, Kaze showed up. Darcy asked hurriedly, “Kaze, what is going on?” “I went to the Housing Department, beat him up, and he swore not to take revenge on us,” Kaze said with a smile. Darcy and her parents then realized Ned was covered in injuries. Ned then said timidly, “Yes, yes. Mr. Lee has taught me a lesson and I learned what I did wrong. I will never do it again.” “Chief Brooks, you’re not taking revenge anymore?” Darcy was still concerned. She was afraid that Ned simply agreed not to take re

    “You…” The fear of death suppressed and replaced the anger in Phoenix. Her wrinkled face paled, making her look like a living corpse. “Madam!” Two of Phoenix’s followers from Ridgesouth tried to jump on Anzu to rescue their employer. However, Anzu swung her katana in a swift, deadly arc, slitting their throats instantly and splattering blood across the ground. “Kaze Lee, get over here! Or else I will kill this old hag!” Anzu roared, her tone resentful. “She killed them!” “Grandaunt is being taken hostage!” “Call the police!” The morgue fell into chaos following the death of the two followers. All the members of the other family branches screamed in panic. Some scrambled to escape, while others stood still in shock. A few were paralyzed by sheer terror, unable to process what was happening before their eyes. As chaos broke out, Kaze quickly dashed forward to pull the horrified Hector and Agnes away, dragging them back to Darcy and Sky. “Stay here and don’t move.

    “Get down and kneel to Joan, or else I will haunt you even after I die!” Kaze twisted his wrist, subtly revealing a thin silver needle in his palm. He then looked at Joan and said, “Fire if you can.” If Joan got so much as close to the trigger, he would use the silver needle to kill her on the spot. His words put disappointment in Darcy’s eyes. Kaze was physically strong but the family was surrounded by guns. Under such intense circumstances, Kaze could really be more tolerant and endure the insult for their sake. Darcy was deeply disappointed in Kaze. Phoenix was so enraged by Kaze’s threats toward Joan that she laughed in exasperation. “Joan, show that you mean business!” “Kaze Lee, you made me do this!” Joan said with a grin. She slowly raised the gun at Kaze. Bang! Suddenly, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a woman in a funeral home uniform with a mask appeared. Strangely, she wielded a Ryokan katana and was searching for someone among the cr

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3394 Forced to Kneel

    There were police officers outside of the funeral home, and since the hitmen from the Steelclaw Guild would come after Hector and his family, Phoenix did not need to kill them in the open. Though she did not mind scaring them and making them kneel before her, begging for mercy—it would be quite satisfying. Thump! Hector and Agnes knelt immediately. Agnes was shuddering as she said, “Grandaunt, we never meant to disrespect you! It was all Kaze! Him! He was the one who opposed you and challenged your authority! “He was the one who broke your cane and beat up Joan. He was the one who called the stop on the projects! We had nothing to do with it!” She then turned to her son and daughter. “Sky, Darcy, what are you two doing standing? Get down! Madam Dark’s death is already painful enough for Grandaunt. Stop upsetting her!” “Yeah, kneel! Grandaunt is an elder, it’s not embarrassing kneeling to her!” Hector said to his children, the anxiety on his face was obvious too. He did

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3393 Not Including You

    “The day I arrived, you broke my walking cane of three million dollars and you hurt Joan. You even got her fiance’s family killed. Don’t even get me started about Mayor Synder stopping the company’s project. Now, you are opposing me directly?! “The other branches of the Quint family are doing just fine but why are you and your family such a pain in the ass? Now I realize the reason—it is you! You are the one who caused all this mess! “Hector, your family is useless! That’s why even a live-in son-in-law can misbehave like this! Do you even deserve to carry the Quint’s name?” Phoenix bellowed. Hector lowered his head and dared not argue with Phoenix. Kaze did not care at all. He sternly said, “Phoenix, you know better than anyone why I broke your walking cane, why I hit Joan, and why I ceased the project. “If you want to distort the truth, I won’t bother to explain it either, but all I want to say is don’t overly rely on your position and your seniority. Respect is earned, not

    “She was elderly; how could someone beat her up physically? More importantly, aside from breaking Madam Dark’s arm, this particular someone staged a car accident and killed her, leaving her with barely a corpse. “It’s inhumane! It’s outrageous! Is he even human?” Joan cried as she expressed her grievance. Each word she muttered felt heavy like mountains. Following her claims, everyone turned around and looked at Darcy and her family at the back of the line—including Kaze, who was beside them. “Have Hector and his family arrived yet?” Phoenix stomped her walking cane on the floor and bellowed, “Tell them to get over here right now!” Seeing Phoenix as if she was ready to devour someone alive, Hector and Agnes shuddered as they quickly went up. “Grandaunt, we are here. We’ve arrived for some time now.” Agnes quickly shifted the blame to Kaze, saying, “Grandaunt, it was not us who broke Madam Dark’s arm. We did not arrange for the truck to ram into her car either. It was Ka

    Besides, several Viper’s Den agents in casual attire had also blended into the scene. Hannah was hurt, or else Kaze would bring her along as well. Although he had already devised a plan with the Steelclaw Guild, he was not sure if the guild would take the act too far and make it real. On top of that, the Steelclaw Guild was a mysterious organization rooted deeply in this city. No one could guarantee if they would not deploy all their hitmen on this mission. It was why Kaze arranged as many men as possible to be on the scene to ensure the safety of Darcy and her family. Under the staff’s guidance, Kaze, Darcy, and the family arrived at the morgue. They saw a crowd inside. All the branch families and their respective heads arrived. Phoenix, leaning on her walking cane, and Joan, seated in her wheelchair, were also there. Madam Dark and her family had served the Quint family for generations and she grew up with Phoenix. She took care of Phoenix, protected her, and they

    South said with a sigh, “Kaze, you might not know First Tiger in person but he’s a man with a great mind and tactics. “He said the Steelclaw Guild would remain in the shadows while the Quint family roamed openly. If the Quint family wants revenge against us, then their family members will be our targets. “You, however, are not the same. He can’t see through you and he’s willing to sign a peace treaty with you instead of going to war against you without any solid reason.” Kaze smiled and said, “He’s a wise man indeed. I’m more curious about First Tiger than before. Tell him that I will play along with his plan. I owe him one.” After the call with South, the chief of the South River Police Department, Morgan Bale, called. “Mr. Lee, the servants of Phoenix Quint and the elder of the Quint family from Ridgesouth were killed in a car crash. All six of them died on the spot. I believe you’ve received the news.” As soon as the call got through, Morgan’s serious voice came through.

    Agnes bellowed, “So what if Darcy suspects you? You did it, yet you won’t let people talk about you? My daughter is a chairwoman, she’s smart! She’s not like Sky who trusts you unconditionally. She has solid reasons to suspect you!” “I have to take this call.” Kaze did not want to argue with Agnes. The buzzing phone saved him in the nick of time and he went out after seeing South’s name on the screen. As though Agnes clutched on the very evidence that could prove Kaze did it, she jumped excitedly and shouted, “Look! He knew he couldn’t keep it up anymore! He’s going out to talk with the killer! “I’m telling you guys! Don’t trust people like him! He’s mad and he could do anything to you! He’s beyond saving…” While Agnes was being relentless with her groundless accusations, Kaze answered the phone. “Kaze, Phoenix Quint just contacted us and said you and your family would be at the funeral house. She even said if we wanted revenge, we could send people over there now and they

    “Other than Kaze, who else has the motive to kill Madam Dark and her daughter? Didn’t you hear him when he shoved them out earlier? He said he would kill them! “I think he was afraid back then, but he didn’t want them coming after him, so he took the chance once they left! “Kaze, you’re horrible! How could you kill them?!” Agnes took a few steps away from Kaze and stared at him. “You’ve gotten bolder than ever. I really don’t know what else you don’t dare to do! Do you know what the consequences of your actions are? You can’t keep it hidden forever! People will eventually find out! “You think you can get away with it? Look again! The crash just happened, and the driver is already under investigation. A gambler in debts took the risk for money and pretended to be DUI.

You better take responsibility and not get us involved, or I will make you regret it!” She scolded Kaze as her f
