“Yeah.” Kaze nodded. He was happy that Darcy would ask the question. Before this, she would never assume the possibility of him having such capability. When they came out of the hotel, the entrance was already surrounded by a police line with many bystanders who were watching curiously. There were also many reporters with cameras waiting for the scoop of the day. Vice Commander Jayden Belfast from Garo Spec Ops Team was answering the reporters’ questions. “We are from the main Garo Spec Ops Team. Our brother team, the Tiger Fangs, got ambushed while escorting a VIP to Nation Hotel. We believed villainous criminals were behind the attack. “The Strategic Department is highly concerned about this case, so we were sent here to wipe out the criminals. A few of them are killed on the spot.” The bystanders and reporters applauded loudly. “Ouch!” Kaze gasped in pain all of a sudden because his waist was pinched. “Hmph! You almost got away this time! You like to tease me!”
Edward Everia, Belarus Golding, and Flint Chapman. The three of them were said to be the real mayors of Lilrose. Mayor Johnson might be the mayor in the public’s eyes but every decision he made must go through them one way or another. Without their permission, no decisions would be made. The three of them were close and united. They advanced and retreated at the same time, and nothing could separate them. It was because of their union that they were able to control the city. “The events at Socialite Club and Nation Hotel happened on the same day, and both of them are related to the Quints. How strange.” Flint, the head of the only family that had not witnessed anything transpire, mumbled as he observed his partners' somber expressions. Rather than reveling in their misfortune, he was apprehensive about the unfolding events. “Especially Nation Hotel. This is terrifying. Even the Garo Spec Ops Team is there! I supposed the Everias lost a lot…” He looked at Edward who wo
The three families were local tyrants so they were not afraid of Ray, an outsider. Therefore, they decided to go to war with him. They had been eyeing Ray’s wealth for some time now. Edward said, “Ray had been secretly supporting the Quints, and now he used Kaze’s name to thrash the Socialite Club. We shall move against the Quints, especially Darcy and Kaze. I want them to suffer the consequences of hurting Eliot.” He made the two of them a priority because of what happened to his grandson. The other two family heads nodded. Belarus said, “The Quints’ Passion Fragrance District project is about to presale soon and Darcy has been running around to get loans. As long as we intercept the loan, we can destroy them.” The fate of the Quints was sealed by a few words from the three family heads. Then, Edward sighed and said, “Now, the Everias are in trouble. After what happened at Nation Hotel, our family has gotten on the bad side with the military. Flint, you have men inside
On the second day, Darcy went back to work. She made an appointment with the Lilyrose Bank’s director, Liben Radar, to talk about the loan. Kaze stayed at home to do chores. Halfway through cleaning the living room, Draco came in his sexy shades. Kaze went out to see him and saw him smoking at the lake frivolously. He did not look like the chief commander at all. “Kaze, you better stay away from that guy.” Agnes came back from a stroll with Hector and grumbled at Kaze when she went into the house. When Gold Tooth came to their house to forcefully evict them, Draco intervened, broke Gold Tooth’s arm, and chased the thugs away. Agnes appreciated his help but she was also scared. Draco did not hold his punches back during the fight. He must not be a good guy. After what happened to Sky, she disliked her family having contact with people like that. “Ma’am, I’m a good guy with a legitimate job,” Draco said with a wide smile. If it was others, Draco would have slapped
“Andrew and Liv apologized to the hotel owner, right? It went trending and made headlines. I heard the owner of the hotel is powerful and has connections with the military!” The boys were much more interested in the hotel owner. Then, Sky and Kaze arrived. Kaze, who was older than them, captured all the attention with his arrival. “Sky, why did you bring an uncle to our gathering? Who is he?” one of the girls asked. “He’s my brother-in-law, Kaze Lee!” Sky proudly introduced Kaze as if he were some celebrity. “Oh, he’s married?” The girls lost interest in Kaze. “Sky, your sister is beautiful, how did your brother-in-law get her? Hey, man, why don’t you give us some tips?” The guys were jealous but also admired his charms. Sky did not know how to answer his friends. When her sister was forced to marry Kaze, he was still in high school and had no idea about it. “Sky, you guys have fun. I’ll take a stroll outside.” Kaze did not understand the youngsters and coul
Kaze no longer wanted to leave. Xion might be young but he was arrogant and disrespectful. If Kaze left without doing anything, Xion might bully Sky. The room was strangely quiet except for Xion’s heavy panting. He pointed at Kaze and bellowed, “Just because you slapped me, you won’t be just crawling out of here!” A gathering of friends turned into an ugly confrontation. The others were not happy with how things turned out. “Sky, tell your brother-in-law to apologize to Xion. Xion’s father is the manager of this hotel. You can’t mess with him with your background.” All of Sky’s friends knew about his background. Even though it was Xion who started it, they wanted Sky to apologize. “Why should my brother-in-law apologize? Xion started it! He should apologize!” Sky refused to back down. “Besides, the manager of the hotel is nothing compared to my brother-in-law! Even people from the first-tier family are afraid of him!” “Afraid of him? Kaze Lee? Are you joking?” “
Xion grinned as he pulled his phone out. Right before he made the call, the door was opened. “Dad! Someone slapped me!” Xion was thrilled when he saw the man at the entrance. It was the manager of the hotel, Richard Keegan. Richard was infuriated when he heard his son. “Who? Who slapped my son?!” The man was enjoying the peak of his career in the past few days. After his boss summoned the Tiger Fangs to lock down the hotel and capture the two top celebrities, no one dared to cause trouble at the hotel anymore. All the VIPs from different fields behaved when they checked into the hotel and dared not voice ridiculous requests. Now, someone broke his comfortable streak and hit someone in the hotel. It was not just someone, but his son. He knew his boss’ brother-in-law and his friends were having a gathering at the VIP room and his boss was also present. Yet someone resolved in violence in front of his boss, which infuriated Richard. “I did it.” A familiar voice cam
Sky became the center of attention back in the room. All the guys and girls surrounded him with questions, curious about his brother-in-law, Kaze. Then, Celine went up to Sky with teary eyes and said meekly, “Sky, I think Xion isn’t as mature as you, I’ve decided to break up with him…” “Celine, you breaking up with Xion is none of my business. Go talk to him.” Sky was an innocent boy. He looked at Celine, confused, and did not understand why she would tell him about her breaking up with Xion. The other guys and girls looked at her strangely. In the end, she got embarrassed and angry and ran out of the room. Richard followed Kaze out of the room. After he closed the door, he said, “Mr. Lee, your wife is here as well. She’s here to meet the director of Lilyrose Bank, Liben Radar, and his people. I noticed they look at your wife strangely, and I worry they might have other thoughts in mind.” He had been in the hotel business for many years and became good at observing pe
