“Mr. Lee, you should know that Paladia is not the only one doing this...”Harrison carefully observed Kaze’s expression as he explained.Kaze smiled coldly. “But Andrew wanted them to break my limbs and then kill me. Since they’re considered temporary personnel from the Paladian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, can I consider this a provocation from Paladia?”Harrison was so scared that he went limp, prostrating himself in front of Kaze.“Mr. Lee, it was a misunderstanding. Paladia has absolutely no such intention! There’s no need for suspicion. We’ll never do that. It must be some ill-intentioned people sowing discord. We absolutely have no disrespect toward you!”Everyone in the hall watched this scene blankly.Who on earth was Kaze to have frightened Harrison so much?“Fine, I’ll believe you for now.”Kaze said indifferently, “So, how are you going to deal with this for me?”“Don’t worry, Mr. Lee. I’ll deal with this immediately!”Harrison straightened his back and turned arou
Hiss.Everyone was once again shocked by Harrison’s words.Not only did he cripple Andrew, but he was also proposing that Blossoms Corporation would completely withdraw from the Arcadian market, leading to billions in losses.What kind of identity did Kaze have that Harrison needed to deal with the matter in this way?However, Kaze waved his hand and refused.“There’s no need to withdraw. As long as Blossoms Corporation does business honestly in Arcadia, I welcome them. As for Andrew and his men, I don’t want to see them on Arcadian soil ever again.”From start to finish, Kaze did not even glance at Andrew.A Paladian knight?More than one Paladian knight had died at his hands.If not for that, Harrison would not be so afraid of him.Yes, Harrison was the consul and had diplomatic immunity, so Kaze could not do any substantial harm to him directly.However, Harrison knew very well.What Kaze could not achieve here, he could achieve on the battlefield.Harrison had many old
Andrew and the others were taken away by Harrison.The hall fell silent.Those who had previously mocked and ridiculed Kaze were now frozen with fear.They knew very well.With just a few words, Kaze had made Harrison kneel and apologize, even breaking Andrew’s limbs. In that case, he had the power to retaliate against them and make them penniless.It was not an exaggeration. After all, if not for Kaze’s mercy, Blossoms Corporation would have been forced to withdraw from the Arcadian market.At that moment, they wanted to slap themselves for being so blind.However, Kaze had no intention to bother with them and did not even look at them.It was like how one would not pay attention to ants crawling on the ground unless they were really bored.“Mr. Phil.”Just as everyone was on edge, Kaze finally spoke.He called out to Phil.Immediately, everyone’s eyes turned to him.Phil’s heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.If he was dense enough not to under
Kaze’s words caused Phil’s expression to darken immediately.He knew that Kaze had no intention of letting the matter go easily.He could have gotten away with just an apology.However, Kaze insisted on laying everything bare, meaning that he was not letting Phil off.Just then, Matt stepped forward to mediate. “Mr. Lee, there’s an old saying: ‘To err is human, to forgive, divine!’”He was not foolish. He also knew that Kaze did not want to let things slide.Phil and he were the only two officials present at Andrew’s banquet tonight.If Phil’s deeds were exposed, Matt would likely be implicated.That possibility was not groundless speculation because he had also offended Kaze earlier.Thus, Matt felt that it was time to speak up.Kaze glanced at Matt and said indifferently, “If Andrew’s plan had succeeded tonight, would you have been lenient?”In Kaze’s eyes, Matt and Phil were no different.Andrew had invited them to his own banquet to target Darcy.In other words, Matt w
“Andrew hosted a banquet in Lilyrose tonight. The consul from Paladia, Harrison Ford, also attended. H-However, the latest news is that Harrison publicly knelt to a young man and crippled Andrew...”Soon, the secretary reported to Loid with a sweaty forehead.This matter was too astonishing. If it was not dealt with well, it might escalate into an international dispute. The secretary was frightened.Loid took a deep breath. “I know who that young man is. Let’s pretend Harrison’s matter didn’t happen. By the way, is Lucas from the Supervisory Bureau in Lilyrose now?”“Yes, Mr. Cooper has been conducting secret inspections in Lilyrose these past few days!”The secretary responded quickly.Loid immediately waved his hand. “Have him deal with Phil and Matt immediately!”“Yes!”When the secretary left and closed the door, Loid called Kaze again.“God of War, I’ve summoned Lucas Cooper from the Supervisory Bureau. Please rest assured. This matter will be resolved satisfactorily!”“
“Master Fuller, do you know him?”Phil and Matt felt a bit uneasy when they saw Trent’s expression change drastically upon seeing Kaze.It did not seem like a good thing.Would Trent be like Harrison and also kneel upon seeing Kaze?However, Trent soon straightened his expression. “Little bastard. You’re causing trouble again! You’re so audacious. How dare you offend Phil and Matt?”Phil and Mat immediately smiled hearing how Trent addressed Kaze.They did not mind Trent acting superior in front of them.After all, Trent was the mayor of Lilyrose for twenty years. With his high prestige, he should not consider Kaze a treat at all.Phil glared at Kaze and said, “Master Fuller, the inspection team I led to review the Mountain Dew project failed them, so this guy’s wife tried to bribe me. How could someone as upright as me accept such a thing?“Then, that Lee guy got anxious and forced me to approve the review for his wife. He even called someone and threatened to kill me. The bu
Therefore, upon learning that Kaze’s backer was the new mayor, Phil and Matt finally relaxed and sneered at Kaze contemptuously.Trent said coldly, “Kaze, apologize to Phil and Matt now, or no one can protect you!”He knew Kaze. Kaze was extremely stubborn and would never kneel.Thus, the final outcome would be a complete fallout with Phil and the others.That was precisely what Trent wanted. He wanted to escalate the situation.Kaze stood tall, looking at the three mockingly. “I think it’s better if you three kneel first. Don’t wait until later when it might be too late.”“Kaze, are you talking in your sleep? Do you think you can do anything you want just because the mayor is backing you?”“I think we should call the new mayor over and have him personally order this guy’s arrest so he can spend the rest of his life in jail!”Phil and Matt spoke fiercely.“I think it’s you two who will spend the rest of your lives in jail.”Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the e
Thud!Phil slumped to the ground, looking at Lucas in devastation.Then, he desperately turned his pleading eyes to Trent and shouted, “Mr. Fuller, say something! If I remember correctly, Mr. Cooper used to work under you, right?”Trent felt embarrassed at the words.He served as the mayor of Lilyrose for twenty years and worked with countless colleagues.Lucas had indeed worked in Lilyrose under him before, but he had since been promoted to the provincial level.“Lucas, why didn’t you catch up with me and have some tea if you were in Lilyrose?”Trent cleared his throat and tried to make small talk.The Mountain Dew project started while he was still in office, but it was later abandoned.There were undoubtedly some shady dealings involved, and his good personal relationship with Phil was also established during that time.Therefore, he had to stand up for Phil.Otherwise, if some old issues were dug up, even he might get implicated.Lucas said respectfully, “I’ve been busy
