Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1756 What the Governor Thinks
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1757 Fall from Grace
“Lucas, since this kid is asking for it, make the call!”Trent waved his hand, full of confidence.Lucas glanced at Kaze and took out his phone in exasperation to call Loid’s office.“I have something to report to the governor.”Soon, Loid’s secretary transferred the call to Loid.“Mr. Farland, the former mayor of Lilyrose, Trent Fuller, is officially making a complaint against the mayor, Mr. Lee, requesting an investigation from the Supervisory Bureau. Furthermore, Mr. Lee has also agreed and wants to hear what you think.”Mr. Lee?What the hell?The new mayor’s last name was Lee?Trent and Phil were both bewildered by Lucas’ words and did not react immediately.“Master Fuller, the governor wants to talk to you.”Lucas passed the phone to Trent.As soon as Trent brought the phone to his ear, he heard Loid’s cold and stern voice. “Trent Fuller, you’re still causing trouble even after retirement, constantly disturbing the operations of Lilyrose’s city council. Did you think
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1758 An Even More Impressive Identity
“Old man, you’re really funny. When did I deceive you?”Kaze looked at Trent throwing a tantrum and mocked. “When you put on airs and told me to visit you at your home, I went personally, didn’t I? However, you didn’t believe me and drove me away.”At those words, Trent felt his strength drain away and lay there motionlessly.He regretted it.If he had known that Kaze was the mayor, he would not have gone out of his way to offend Kaze from the start.However, even if he knew, would Trent not have clashed with Kaze?That was a hard question to answer.Old habits die hard.The reason why Trent ended up in this situation had nothing to do with Kaze being the mayor. It was because of his arrogant nature.Everyone else looked at Trent’s miserable state and sighed in their hearts.Demanding Kaze to visit and then driving him away when he arrived...Just that action itself would have brought him bad luck.At that moment, a team of investigators from the Supervisory Bureau entered.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1759 Identity Revealed
“Okay.”Darcy let Kaze hold her hand, following him out of the banquet hall in a daze.Looking at their backs, various sighs filled the hall.Regret.They all looked down on Kaze and mocked him to curry favor with Andrew.Now, they realized that the real big shot was the man that they had disdained.However, it was too late for regrets.No matter how much they tried to apologize or fawn over him, Kaze had no intention of paying them any mind.He left all the business cards he received on the table, not taking back a single one.Kaze naturally would not hold grudges against these people, but he would not show them kindness either....At Horizon Mirror Mansion, the family sat on the couch in silence.The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.Agnes’ hands trembled slightly.Kaze felt uneasy at being stared at and said helplessly, “Honey, if you have any questions, just ask.”“When did you become the mayor? What’s going on?”Darcy took a deep breath and stared at Kaze inten
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1760 Planning to Step Down
Considering Master Quint’s character, it was clear why he was bringing the Quint family over.Kaze’s identity as the mayor was exposed.A young mayor like him was not unheard of in Arcadia, but it was certainly rare.He would surely have a bright future and endless opportunities in politics.Kaze was known to the outside world as the Quint family’s son-in-law.His name was tied closely to the Quints.In the past, Master Quint was worried that Kaze might cause trouble and drag the Quints into disaster.Now, those worries were gone.The Quints had a rising star now!Thus, Horizon Mirror Mansion was very lively that night.The Quints flattered Kaze relentlessly, and Master Quint was also grinning from ear to ear.Kaze was speechless at their behavior.Seeing that they were refusing to leave and kept trying to suck up to him, he finally could not hold back anymore.He suddenly said to Darcy, “Honey, I need to tell you something. I’m planning to step down as mayor.”“Huh?”Be
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1761 I’ll Avenge Gareth
“That’s right.”Cosmo nodded with a pale face. “Andrew is useless, and so is Harrison. Why were they so frightened by a mere mayor? Not only did they fail to complete the task, but they even exposed Kaze’s identity as well. Useless!”He had been expecting good news from Andrew. As long as Darcy handed over the shares, Samson would enter Sky Ocean Corporation’s board of directors under the name of Lee Investment Firm.Unexpectedly, he got this news instead.Just then, Samson’s phone rang.He listened to a few words, hung up, and looked at Cosmo with a frown, deep in thought.“What is it? Who called you?”Cosmo asked casually.Samson said in a low voice, “It was your dad. He said to stop Kaze from controlling the Lilyrose New City project. Otherwise, if he forms alliances with major forces, it’ll be a disaster for the Lee family! In other words, Kaze must die, but without involving the Lees...”“My dad? Why didn’t he just call me?”Cosmo was stunned. Then, he thought of somethi
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1762 If He Knows His Place
Soon, all the members of the Hornberg family were taken away.The Hornberg family assets were now converted into funds for Gunther’s revenge.Gunther did not care about their survival.Poor Gareth. He was a Grandmaster, yet he was bullied even after his death.Furthermore, it was by his senior who claimed to want to avenge him.Gunther’s student, Sonny, waved his hand, and Ethan’s corpse was taken away.At that moment, Niko entered the room, glanced at Ethan’s corpse, and walked up to Gunther expressionlessly.“Uncle Gunther, there’s news from Lilyrose regarding Kaze’s identity! His backer is the former mayor of Lilyrose, Johnson Brooks. Johnson is highly regarded by Loid Farland, the governor, and is about to be promoted, so he had Kaze act as the acting mayor.“Now, with the development of the Lilyrose New City, many forces in Arcadia want a share of the project. Kaze is using his position to curry favor with these forces.“All signs indicate that the reason for Kaze’s previ
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1763 The Top Legatus
The Three Great Legati with Gunther were the ace soldiers of Zion Mercenaries.They each had their own background.Niko did not know the background of the top Legatus, Mosiah, but he was familiar with the other two.The second Legatus, Antovan, was a martial arts genius proficient in jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and karate. His unarmed combat skills were unmatched in Zion Mercenaries.Antovan’s nickname in Zion Mercenaries was White Python.It was well known that prey entangled by a python would be strangled to death.Antovan was just as terrifying. Once he got close, his opponent was as good as dead!The third Legatus, Gustav, was nicknamed Kodiak in the Zion Mercenaries.He came from Eastern Gyro and was naturally strong. It was said that during special training, Gunther sent him to a black jail in Sivelia.There, Gustav killed most of the prison guards and inmates, then successfully broke out!As for the top Legatus, Mosiah, he was very mysterious. Not only did Niko have no unde

Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3740 No Plan
The hostages were locked up in the containers. Some of them were elites in their own field while some were ordinary people with average income, yet all of them got into trouble when they boarded the plane. Most of them could not accept their fate. Yet they dared not defy or resist the mercenaries. When things started to calm down, they broke down in tears, weeping in silence as resentment consumed them. Kaze sat down at a clean corner that allowed him to look outside the window. The window was dirty but at least he could see outside. The space inside the container was filled with people sitting closely, offering comfort to one another. They were aware they were just temporarily safe in this container. No one knew what the mercenaries would do to them at the next moment. “My parents must be worried. I said I would call them when I land but now I can’t even get in touch,” Barney muttered as he sat beside Kaze. He too looked outside the window, his feelings mixed. He watc
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3739 Need A Hero
Kaze thought of what he had overheard in the toilet. If he told the hostages about that, they would probably panic. “It’s nothing. They are just going to separate us into different rooms or containers. They said the buses would be disposed of,” he said. He did not want to reveal too much because it would cause panic. Once the hostages knew their lives were on the line, things might spiral out of control. The mercenaries could kill a few of them to make an example, and none of the hostages would dare to cause problems anymore. Kaze kept it a secret because he wanted to protect the people. “That’s it?” “Is there anything else? How many men are there? What is their plan? Who are they looking for?” “We want to know because we want to survive. This isn't our problem—we just got caught up in it.” The hostages looked at Kaze, their eyes filled with worry. They felt aggrieved because they should not be caught in such a huge problem. “I don’t know either.” No matter how m
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3738 Another Way
“There’s a room there. Get in.” The mercenary pointed his gun at the mother and son, which led them to look at Kaze nervously, seemingly asking for help. “What do you want?” The mother was nervous. She clutched her son’s hand tightly, nearly making him cry, but she reacted quickly enough to cover her son’s mouth to prevent him from doing so. “All women must go into that room. You go in now,” the mercenary explained. He did not want the woman to get the wrong idea. “You people won’t hurt me, right?” the mother asked, worried that she might be ravaged. “We are not into MILF,” said the other mercenary who was escorting Kaze, indirectly assuring the mother. Kaze shot a glance at the mother and nodded at her. “They told us they were going to separate us, so there’s nothing to worry about,” he said, worried that the mother and son would not cooperate. The mother then carried her son and followed the other mercenary into the room. It was called a room but it was actually ju
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3737 Not Afraid of Us?
“Can you make him stop? If the man comes back, we’ll be done for,” someone said. The kid’s crying made everyone anxious. “What can I do? He’s crying because he’s scared. I can’t just stop him.” The mother was afraid as well, and she did not want her son to be taken advantage of. “Calm down. Just don’t alert the men and we’ll be fine,” Miguel said, hoping to ease the situation. “I’ll fight him if he comes in. I believe I can make it,” someone said. Those with an impulsive nature grew restless from being kept on the bus for too long, feeling like livestock being kept in cages. “Shut it. They are coming,” Barney said after a glance outside the window. The other passengers fell silent, sat back down, lowered their heads, and tried their best not to look out the window. The mother quickly hugged her son and covered his mouth to prevent him from crying. Kaze felt peace and quiet once more, even the air felt smoother. He knew the passengers were merely ordinary people and
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3736 Wait to Die
Unfortunately, Leah knew she would not get an answer out of Snow since she was refusing to help. Everything seemed to have changed following her mother’s disappearance. She tried to stay for answers but when security came in, she could not resist them anymore. It was the first time she was escorted out by security guards and it impacted her. She used to be the daughter of the CEO of Northborn Group—everyone respected her. She used to enjoy a privileged status. No matter where she went, she was the star of the event. Yet when her mother disappeared, everything changed. She wanted to look for Kaze but she had just lost the chance. Snow turned her down and gazed at her with contempt and irritation. Leah could not accept the changes but some things felt like they were destined to change. She was forced to leave the branch office but then had no idea where else to go. She felt abandoned by the world. Before this, she could still hope for Kaze’s help, but now she had no
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3735 Can't Find Who You Are Looking For?
Leah went to her mother’s company but did not find her anywhere. Joey was busy working in the CEO’s office. Leah went over and asked, “Joey, where’s my mother? I can’t reach her.” She wanted to know what happened to her mother. “I don’t know about your mother either. We went out together earlier in the day but I don’t know where she went. I can’t get in touch with her.” Joey was so busy that she could not even free herself from the desk to explain to the girl. “Where did she go? How am I supposed to find her?” Leah panicked. If even Joey did not know where her mother went, then something must have happened. A bad feeling rose from her heart. Things just got serious. “I don’t know. Why don’t you ask someone else?” Joey did not have time to deal with the girl. Leah was unfamiliar with Joey’s coldness. Joey had always treated her with kindness and flattery, so the sudden coldness caught her off guard. She felt like something had changed. “Who should I be looking f
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3734 Spent Your Life in Regret
“No! My daughter is still in the hospital!” Katie refused to accept her punishment. She started to regret her decision but it was too late. “Now only you think about your daughter? I guess you are not that foolish, but have you thought about her when you betrayed Chairman Lee? “Don’t worry. Leah knew Chairman Lee personally and we won’t hurt her, but she might not live a good life anymore,” Snow said coldly. She did not want to put the girl in a difficult situation but her life as a princess would come to an end. “You can’t do that!” Katie could not believe Snow would do that. “I bet you never thought of the consequences when you leaked the information. Too bad. You’ve lost.” Snow revealed the truth because she wanted Katie to suffer for the decision she made. Katie would now regret every decision she made because she knew she had jeopardized her daughter’s life. She would feel like a fool. She devoted her life to climbing higher to gain more power but she ignored the
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3733 Relieve of Duty
“I went to a bar to have a drink and I bumped into an informant of the Viper’s Den.” Katie looked helpless as she explained as if everything that had happened was planned out for her, pushing her to the edge step by step. It was a lively night at the bar. The atmosphere was pleasant and most of the guests were having a good time. Katie was a single woman. She needed care and love at times. She was alone when she visited the bar. She started off by ordering some drinks at the counter, waiting for a chance to meet a man who shared the same ideals. A drink or two later, maybe she could get herself a company for the night. As a grown-up woman, she had her desires. It was a way to release her stress. Katie entered the bar in a casual outfit but it did not diminish her elegant demeanor. When she sat down at the counter, a few young men approached her but she was not interested in immature boys. She continued drinking. She looked at the dance floor occasionally, searching for a
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3732 Confess
“Who do you think will believe you?” Arthur frowned. There were too many coincidences that it felt like a giant setup. “I’ve explained what I need to. Don’t interrogate me like I’m a criminal. I am the CEO of the Northborn Group.” Katie left them speechless. She had said the necessary and it was up to them whether they wanted to believe it or not. They did not have the evidence to charge her anyway. “You really think we can’t hold you responsible?” Snow was not really looking for a definite answer. The moment she suspected Katie, whether or not she was truly the traitor, Snow already had the right to hold her accountable. It was necessary to make things clear and it was to find out who Katie leaked Kaze’s information to. “It has come down to this. No matter how you deny it, it’s useless. We already know what you have done and you can’t escape. Even if you don’t want to confess, we can continue the investigation, and we’ll eventually find out the truth. “If you come clean
