Everyone in the living hall gasped when they heard Cosmo’s introduction. Even Bernard, who had experienced the ups and downs of life, stared with widened eyes, his expression cloudy. Niko and Sonny were not the reason they were afraid but the family behind them and the powerful Gunter Powell. The Vikroms had already gotten news about Gunter Powell’s arrival in Arcadia, seeking vengeance for Gareth. Following his arrival, the history of the Powell family and Gunter was known by everyone in Lilyrose. The Powells were a noble family of Arcadian descent in Glowmoss. Gunter served as a high-ranking officer in the Glowmoss military and fought on the foreign battlefield. Be it the Powells or Gunter himself, a small family like the Vikroms would not dare to defy them. Bernard was surprised that the Powells would visit his place as the first stop in Lilyrose. It was anything but good. It was no secret that the Vikroms served Kaze as his loyal followers. If the Powells came k
Bernard continued to stray from the topic. He tried his best not to answer Niko’s question and lowered himself so humbly that Niko would not give him any trouble. Niko grunted and then shot a glance at Sonny. Sonny had been staring at Vicky the moment he sat down. When he got the gaze, he got up and went over to Vicky, scrutinizing her from top to bottom. “I bet you are Mr. Vikrom’s daughter.” The invasive gaze made Vicky uncomfortable. However, she saw her father’s signal, so she took a deep breath and said, “You can call me Vicky.” Sonny nodded. “I heard you are one of the most beautiful girls in Lilyrose. It seems like you are more beautiful than rumored. “How about I make you a proposition? I followed my master to Arcadia but I am short of a woman to serve me. From now on, you can be my woman.” Sonny sounded tyrannical and condescending as if his request was sympathy to a beggar. He also made it sound like it was Vicky’s honor to be able to serve him. However, i
Vane twitched and twirled after he fell, blood spewed from his mouth and nose. In just a few moments, he bled a puddle and had lost consciousness. Seeing this, Sonny frowned. “Gus, I told you not to kill, why didn’t you hold back?” “I didn’t kill the monkey, I just knocked him out. Probably comatose,” Gustav said in a muffled voice. Sonny clicked his tongue and pursed his lips. “I didn’t ask you to make a mess. Look at the blood. Tsk.” The entire Vikrom family heard the conversation between the two and it made them gasp in fear. Based on their conversation, it was clear that Sonny and the gang showed no respect for human lives. Killing a man would be as casual as squashing an ant. The reason why Vane was not killed on the spot was because Sonny did not want to make a mess. Despite this, Vane was probably comatose and might have to spend the rest of his life bedridden, which would be as good as dead. “Vane!” Vane’s father, Baxter, was shocked. Eyes bloodshot, he
Following Sonny’s hysterical laugh, the Vikroms were silenced by fear and shock. Vicky was frustrated. She clenched her teeth tightly and said coldly, “I'd rather die than…” “Vicky!” Bernard quickly stopped his daughter before she could finish. He knew that a person like Sonny, who was not afraid of the law, could never be threatened by mere words. If Vicky continued to provoke him, he would only hit back harder. Sonny had countless methods to force Vicky to comply, such as threatening her with the lives of her family. Bernard went up to Sonny and timidly said, “Young Master Sonny, my daughter has been terribly spoiled since young. Not only does she not know how to serve, but she’s also not gentle or caring. She can’t possibly fit the role. “I have another idea. Since our family has a media company that focuses on livestream, we have some connections. We can arrange for a beautiful streamer to accompany you!” The other family members nodded. “Exactly! Young Master Son
In less than a minute, all the bodyguards were knocked out with broken arms and legs. Sonny frowned. He grunted and said, “Tsk. Stop ruining my mood. If you don’t want to die, get the hell out. You have one minute.” The bodyguards nodded in fear. They all crawled out of the mansion except for one. “Sorry, I can't control it. He died.” Antovan shrugged as he looked at the dissatisfied Sonny. The Vikroms were shocked. None of them dare to make a noise or move. Their bodyguards could not even take down one of them. If Sonny wanted them dead, it would be a piece of cake. With a delighted face, Sonny went close to Bernard and tapped on his aged face. “Mr. Vikrom, if you still want to test my men, you can call whoever you want, but I have limited patience. “Back when I was training in Blackdale, I had my eyes on a woman of a major family. The family acted the same as you are now, but I ended up wiping them all. No one was left.” The words made Bernard shudder, his hands and
Bernard knew only Kaze could save Vicky from the clutches of Sonny and gang. After Bernard’s son left, Niko and Cosmo came out together. They were not interested in watching Sonny ‘play’ with Vicky. “Young Master Niko, Young Master Sonny already got his entertainment for the night, why don’t you find someone yourself? How about the other Four Beauties of Lilyrose? What do you think of them?” Niko gave a meaningful stare when he heard Cosmo. He said, “Cosmo, I can tell you really have some deep-seated hatred for Kaze Lee.”’ “Hahaha! The enemy’s enemy is my friend. Kaze foiled my plans several times and put me in shame. If Young Master Niko can assist me with my vengeance, I will be in your debt.” Cosmo did not mind revealing his intention to Niko. Niko smirked. He said, “I am interested in the Four Beauties of Lilyrose, but who should I go for? Do you have any recommendations?” Cosmo said, “Ever since Darcy Quint was abducted, Kaze increased the security around her. Base
“The Lee family from Sunrise?!” Winnie’s expression ashened. She knew the conflict between Kaze and the Lee family. Since she was a loyal supporter of Kaze, she had nothing to talk to any member of the Lee family. “What are you doing here, Cosmo Lee?” she bellowed. Cosmo chuckled and said, “A friend of mine wanted to meet you, so can you please come with us?” Niko waited at home while Cosmo brought his men to Winnie’s office to threaten her. It felt like he was being a lapdog or a pimp, but he did not care. As long as it would ultimately lead to Kaze’s defeat or death, he would be glad to do it. In fact, he even volunteered for the job. “I don’t want to meet your friend. You barged into my office without any notice, this is trespassing. I am calling the police!” Winnie picked up her desk phone to call the police. She knew her security guards were no longer available since Cosmo and his men reached her office. “What are you doing?!” Suddenly, the executives cried
It was news to Kaze that Vicky had feelings for him. However, he did not care if it was real or just some excuse the Vikrom family used to ask him to save her. When he heard the names Niko and Cosmo, he already knew the Vikroms and Winnie got involved because of him. “Bro!” Conan arrived. He glanced at Wikan kneeling on the floor as he walked over to Kaze. “Any update from Miru? Where did Cosmo bring Winnie?” Kaze asked with a stern tone. He was more concerned about Winnie’s safety than Vicky’s. Conan said, “Miru just called and said that Cosmo Lee brought Winnie Souffle to the Vikrom family. They must have gone back to meet the others from the Powells.” Kaze gestured at Wikan to stand up. He then asked Conan, “I heard Niko Powell had two legati with him. Do you have anything about them?” Half the battle would be won by knowing his enemies. Kaze did not care about their identities but it would be better to understand his opponents before planning the rescue operat
