Blossoms Corporation had its eyes on Rove for a long time now. Starting from Kailan to Dakota, all of them were tasked to acquire Rove. When Rove had their open bid for investment, Blossoms Corporation planned extensively beforehand. They did not just invest a lot in the process, they even used their connection with the Lyfe family of Geranium. One of the Geranium Four, Sieg Lyfe, was sent to Lilyrose to take over Rove. With the influence and extensive connections of Blossoms Corporation in the world of capitalism, nothing could possibly go wrong. Rove was already seen as the Blossoms Corporation’s subsidiary at one point. However, Kaze used Astral Wealth Management to snatch Rove at the very last moment. Blossoms Corporation had never suffered such a major defeat since its founding over a hundred years ago. The loss was unacceptable to Andrew, as well as the top brass of the company. Therefore, Andrew came to Lilyrose himself to acquire Sky Ocean Corporation to mak
The others had a similar thought to Phil. Everyone thought Kaze would eventually kneel, except for two people. First, it was Honey. She remained seated on her chair and watched with a faint smile on her face. She decided to be an observer from the start and did not pick any sides. The other one would be Darcy. When she heard Andrew wanted Kaze to apologize in the most insulting way possible, she got mad. Her eyes were burning with rage. “Darcy, relax. Have a seat.” Kaze held Darcy back and calmly asked her to sit down. Darcy frowned but she sat down anyway. She did not know why Kaze could remain calm in the face of insult, but since Kaze had spoken, she believed he had a way around the situation. Phil was angrier than ever. He shouted, “Darcy Quint, what is the meaning of this? Have you forgotten about the Mountain Dew project? Tell your useless husband to kneel and apologize, or your project will never pass the inspection. All it takes is a word from me!” He was
Moreover, both Darcy and Honey had their attention on Kaze instead of Andrew. It was also unacceptable for Andrew who was secretly a playboy with the goal of conquering all beautiful women he met. “Mr. Andrew!” As the atmosphere in the hall grew tense, someone suddenly stumbled in and ran over to Andrew. Andrew turned around and was surprised to see someone he knew. “Kenneth? What happened to you?” The man was Kenneth, who had just left a while ago. His nostrils were stuffed with tissue paper, his forehead wrapped in a bandage, and he reeked of iodine, which made Andrew frown with disgust. Andrew instinctively took a step back. “Mr. Andrew, please help me!” Kenneth pointed at Kaze and bellowed angrily, “Before you arrived, that bastard beat me up because of a joke I made! “The others saw it as well! He slapped and kicked me! You can ask them if you don’t believe me! “Mr. Andrew, I am your guest and that bastard beat me up in front of everyone! It is not just dis
Upon listening to Andrew’s confirmation, everyone else in the hall widened their eyes in shock. They were from the same upper social circle, so they had heard of the Paladia Foreign Legion. The legion might not be as famous as Glowmoss Foreign Legion, but they too were powerful. In other words, Andrew’s bodyguards were veterans who had experienced war on the battlefield. There was no way Kaze could escape this. The same thought occurred in everyone’s mind at the same time. Even if Kaze could survive this, he would at least be severely crippled or comatose at the hands of the foreign legion veterans. Failing to notice the calm look on Kaze, Darcy’s heart pounded violently. She might not have seen how powerful these foreign legion veterans were but the name alone scared her. She instinctively got up from her seat and said with an apologetic look. “Sir Andrew, can we talk about this? “My husband beat Mr. Knull up with a good reason. It was Mr. Knull who started it and
The flames of fury burned brightly in Darcy’s eyes as she looked at the share transfer document. She did not blame Kaze for acting recklessly, which put her in a difficult situation. Previously, Cosmo did the same and used guns to force her to surrender the company. Now, Andrew organized this so-called banquet to lure Kaze and Darcy into a trap, ultimately forcing her to surrender the company as well. Every single one of them was after Sky Ocean Corporation, which should not be a surprise at this point anymore. Even if Kaze did not beat up Kenneth, Andrew would use another way to force her into the same situation. Nothing would change. Darcy knew she had to face difficulties the moment she agreed to attend the banquet. Andrew and Phil could always come up with another excuse to force her. Therefore, getting mad at Kaze would not help the situation at all. She felt helpless against Blossoms Corporation. Seeing Darcy’s hesitance, Andrew scoffed, “Ms. Quint, the choi
Even if Bolivia was Ms. Geranium or a fairy from the heavens, Kaze would still show no mercy. “You? You and what army?” Bolivia scoffed. Her eyes at Kaze were filled with viciousness. She was not afraid of Kaze at all, but his words struck her weak spot. She did not care if Andrew treated her as a toy because she was prepared for it before she even slept with him. To people like her who dreamt of climbing the ranks by sacrificing the body, as long as she could attend a high-end social event with the man, in this case, Andrew, her value would surge. Therefore, Andrew did not even need to pay her. Both of them were just taking what they wanted from each other. Yet such practice should remain a secret. “Ms. Hancock, please calm down!” Phil went up to Bolivia and tried to calm her down with a nervous and apologetic look. Then, when he turned to Kaze, his expression turned vicious. He pointed at Kaze and bellowed, “Kaze Lee, how dare you tear the document? Are you trying
“Darcy Quint, I can order my bodyguards to kill your husband right here, right now. Also, I am here in Arcadia as a diplomat, so I have diplomatic immunity. “Even if I kill someone, I won’t be held responsible. Do you understand what that means?” Andrew asked. Darcy’s face turned pale when she heard Andrew had diplomatic immunity. Fear appeared in her eyes. She knew exactly what it meant. As Andrew said, he would not be held responsible or charged even if he killed Kaze. He looked at Kaze and scoffed, “Arcadian scum, you’ve made me mad. Even if you kneel and apologize, I won’t let you go anymore!” Everyone looked at Kaze as if he was a dead person. Without the corresponding status or power, he should not have messed with Andrew. He was a living example of what not to do. “Diplomatic immunity? So what?” Kaze added, “It seems like I have to ask Paladia’s consul, Harrison, to come here and explain to me what you mean by that.” His words were so shocking that not only
“Darcy, hold this for me.” Kaze passed his cup of tea to Darcy and smiled. “He’s about to die and still trying to act cool.” The crowd gloated at him. The leader of the bodyguards was the first in line and he too was agitated by Kaze’s arrogance. “You must die!” He threw a punch at Kaze’s shoulder. Had Andrew not been given the order to break Kaze’s arms and legs, the punch would have been aimed at the back of Kaze’s neck, which would kill him instantly if hit. “Kaze, be careful!” Darcy cried. “It’s going to be fine,” Kaze said indifferently. He was still looking at Darcy instead of the bodyguard leader. As though he had eyes at the back of his head, he swung his right hand to the back and precisely slapped the bodyguard leader’s face. Slap! The loud slap was followed by a painful groan. The bodyguard leader was stopped by the sudden force and sent flying to the crowd. Before the other bodyguards could react, Kaze turned around and jumped at them. “Aaaah
