In Sky Ocean Corporation’s reception area, Cosmo stared Kaze down. It took quite a bit of persuading on a subordinate’s part to calm Cosmo down. “Just because you hold sway in Lilyrose doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, Kaze. “To be frank, your businesses and connection to the mayor’s office mean squat to my family. “My family can easily take these things away from you.” Back to his arrogant self, Cosmo looked at Kaze and Darcy in disdain and said eerily, “No one can stop my family from acquiring the Lilyrose New City project.“If you don’t want to die in the crossfire, you better sign the shares over to me and doll your wife up for me. “You have three days and not a minute more.” Cosmo pointed at Kaze intimidatingly before leaving with his men. In the reception area, the employees of Sky Ocean Corporation turned pale and shivered in fear. Cosmo was cocky to threaten to fire at Kaze. He even revealed an important message before he took off. Since the Sunr
“Got it, babe.” Kaze nodded. He spent some time with Darcy. With Darcy throwing herself into work, Kaze got up and left the office. Once outside, Kaze pulled out his phone to make a phone call. “Boss.” Draco’s voice came on the phone. Kaze said grimly, “Send a team and kill every last member of Zion Mercenaries in Lilyrose. Leave Christian live for now. I need him to send back a message.” He gave Christian one last warning. Christian was supposed to evaluate the mercenaries and their organizations in Arcadia within three days. However, Christian ignored the threat and stayed in Lilyrose. To make matters worse, he was also involved with the Lees too. Now that Kaze had time, he could deal with them. “I’ll assign the task to Battle Dragon Troops.” Draco carried out the command. …Meanwhile, Cosmo had a hard time shaking off the rage when he returned to his accommodation. “Call Christian here now. I want to talk to him.” Cosmo waved his arm and sat on the cou
Besides, Christian decided to pocket the 100 million Uleania dollars. He said with a smile, “But what we discuss today is strictly confidential. It cannot leave this room.”“Of course.” Cosmo nodded, assuming Christian wanted to keep a chunk of the profit. The scheming pair snickered. “Bang, bang,” Their laughter was cut short by the sound of crackling explosives outside the villa. “What was that about?” Cosmo was taken aback. Christian grimaced. “Is that gunshots?” “Bang!” Cosmo’s subordinate barged through the door and crashed to the ground. “S-Sir, Karel and the others were killed. They are all dead!” Karel was a member of Zion Mercenaries. He and three other companions went with Cosmo to Sky Ocean Corporation. They were put on duty, securing the villa after their return. Cosmo hired them not just to bluff Darcy. Zion Mercenaries were tasked with his protection too. Lilyrose was Kaze’s territory after all. Christian went pale and walked out. Sensi
Christian did find his assumption ridiculous because it was not something Kaze was capable of. However, he was left with the most absurd possibility after eliminating all likelihoods. “I must get headquarters to dispatch an expert soon before I die here.” Christian got in touch with Zion headquarters and relayed the recent incident. Without hesitation, he named Kaze as the killer. He wanted to light a fire under headquarters’ ass to send backup. If Christian could not be sure about the killer, Zion would waste time evaluating the enemy for the sake of precaution. “The company has decided to send the chief instructor to Arcadia, Christian.” Soon, an executive of Zion came to Christian, bearing news. “What? The chief instructor is coming?” Christian jumped off the couch in shock and joy. “Thank God. The chief instructor will sort Kaze out.” “Christian, who is the chief instructor?” Christian’s reaction piqued Cosmo’s interest. Once Christian was off the phone, Co
The Powells’ wealth topped 10 billion Gyros. If the Powells only had money, they would be no different than the other rich Arcadians. They would not be able to mingle with the local elites. The Powells’ break to be part of the elite circle came when one of them became a chief instructor in the military and rose to prominence. Since then, the Powells were not just wealthy, but they also climbed the social ladder and became part of the exclusive upper class. The individual who gave the Powells glory was Gunter. Gunter had always been obsessed with Arcadian martial arts. He returned to Arcadia at the age of eighteen and spent years refining and perfecting his art. He and Gareth got to know each other at the time, and they trained under the same teacher. Upon earning success in his craft, Gunter did not stay in Arcadia. Instead, he went back to Glowmoss and joined the army for foreign nationals. Glowmoss possessed extensive overseas colonies.The legion had previously enga
Niko kept to his humped position while waiting. The wait was an hour. Anybody else would not have lasted long with their back hunched over. Though drenched in sweat, Niko remained still. He was indeed remarkable in mindset and determination. The door to the castle finally opened. A young man with emotionless and sharp facial features walked out. The young man looked to be younger than Niko by two years. Niko put a straight face on and greeted courteously, “Sonny.” Sonny was Gunter’s student. Compared to other members of the Powell family, Sonny was favored by Gunter. Even though Niko was one of the heirs of the Powells, he dared not show Sonny any disrespect. “Mr. Powell wants to see you, Mr. Niko. Come with me.” Sonny callously uttered before walking into the castle. Niko knew he was halfway there now that Gunter granted him an audience. Thrilled, Niko entered the castle and met Gunter sitting in meditation. “Uncle Gunter.” Niko went up excitedly, got
Niko did not wait long for an answer. A brief moment later, Gunter opened his eyes. “Gareth saved my life in Arcadia. “I’ll deal with this. “Lee must die.” Gunter kept a stoic face, his voice reflecting an icy chill. The fall of the Viper’s Den did not bother Gunter. Niko and Sonny knew that Gunter was strong enough to be unfazed by an organization’s defeat. With that, Niko said, “I’m happy to go with you to Arcadia and serve you.” Gunter nodded callously. Niko was overjoyed. Given Gunter’s combat skills and power, no one could stop him in Arcadia. Kaze had nothing on Gunter. If Niko tended to Gunter well, his position as the family successor would be guaranteed. Besides, Niko would have no trouble expanding the family business to Arcadia. Sonny let out a smile. It had been mundane and boring staying in the castle with Gunter. Power and women were all Sonny ever wanted. He could not wait to get to Arcadia and show what he was made of. Sonny was Gun
Several minutes later, another person emerged out of the aircraft door. The group watched in anticipation, knowing that the person was Gunter. A hale and hearty middle-aged man with a straight face appeared. He steadily took the steps down. He had an entourage behind him. “That must be Gunter Powell.” The group here for the airport pick-up was blown away. The middle-aged man clearly ranked the highest among them. He was Gunter Powell. However, they had a different impression of Gunter. They were expecting to see Gunter radiating wisdom and detached from worldly concerns. It never occurred to the group that Gunter would look younger than most of them. He did not look a day past his fifties. However, everybody knew that Gunter was pushing sixty. Gunter’s towering figure and rugged physique gave off a presence of power. In general, Gunter carried himself differently than Gareth. Gareth would look like Gunter’s teacher if they stood together. “Welcome, Mr.
