“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.
“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
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
“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
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
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
Niko was confused by those words.However, Sonny gasped. “Do you mean the one who defeated the armies of the five strongest nations on the foreign battlefield, the lord of the God of War Palace?”“Yes, I’m talking about the God of War!”Gunther nodded with a hint of fear in his eyes. “The God of War donated the entire ten billion bribe from the top three families to Lilyrose for investment, which indicates he has some interest in Lilyrose.“Therefore, be sure to restrain yourselves when you act in Lilyrose. Don’t be too aggressive, lest you attract his attention.“If Mosiah is sent there and causes a bloodbath, no one will be able to save you—not even me. Remember that!”“Understood!”Hearing that, Sonny and Niko, who originally did not take it seriously, became solemn.Even the proud Gunther was saying such words.It seemed that the legendary God of War was truly formidable.The two felt some pressure.After a few more instructions from Gunther, they left Hornberg Manor.“
“So, you want me to be your shield? Use your brain and think about it. I’m a notable figure in Lilyrose. The guy will easily find out if he investigates. You’re rich anyway, so just hire someone else.”Pretend to be Miru’s boyfriend for a blind date? What a joke.He was the mayor of Lilyrose now and needed to maintain his dignity.Furthermore, he was not in the mood to play with her.“It doesn’t matter if the guy knows. I just need to ruin the blind date.”Miru pursed her lips and said, “Hiring someone won’t work. That guy is a young master from a major foreign family. People like him usually have bad tempers. If he gets physical...”“What do you mean?”Kaze’s expression instantly darkened. “You mean he might get violent, so you don’t want to endanger anyone else.”It was obvious that finding a shield for a blind date was incredibly distasteful.Even an ordinary man would not be able to hold back his anger, let alone a young master.Miru felt uneasy when Kaze saw through her
