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
Vicky was furious, but she was afraid of offending Sonny and Niko, so she had to swallow her anger and frustration. Winnie had never met them but after listening to their shameless conversation, she flushed with embarrassment and anger. She bellowed, “Who are you? Don’t you know the consequences?“This is Lilyrose. If you mess around, you will definitely regret it.” She was embarrassed and angry, yet she looked even more tempting to Niko. Niko took a sip of his glass of wine and said with relief, “Now I believe the saying of wine tastes better when graced with the presence of a belle. “Let me introduce myself, Ms. Souffle. I am Niko from the Powell family of Glowmoss. The heir of the family. I am terribly sorry that I must resort to such a despicable way to invite you for a meeting. “But after I saw a photo of you, I was deeply captivated by your temperament. I hope that we can spend the night together, or maybe many more nights in the future. I will settle down here in Lily
“Oh and I hope you understand that if Cosmo can bring your daughter here, he can do the same with your in-laws. You do have to consider it carefully…” Looking at Niko’s smiling face, Winnie had goosebumps as fear consumed her bit by bit. “Is this what you mean by not forcing others to comply?” she asked coldly. “Well, you can ask Vicky about that,” Niko scoffed. Vicky said flatly, “If I disagree, they will kill my family one by one. I have no choice.” Winnie’s expression was pallid. She had never seen such a shameless man before, yet she dared not doubt a word uttered by Niko and Vicky. Blood could still be seen on the floor. She could only imagine what terrible things had happened before her arrival.She took a deep breath to keep herself together. There was only one person who could save her and Brenda. As though he saw through Winnie’s thoughts, Niko said with a smile, “Are you hoping for Kaze Lee to save you? I wouldn’t do that if I were you. “You see the two men b
“Mr. Tenby, I thought you were speaking out for your friend, but you were just looking for an excuse to ask me out.“Try your luck with another girl. Here is not the place for you to pick up chicks.” The crowd gave Draig strange looks. Draig turned red. He glared at Buffy, tempted to lash out. Fuck. He got played. Buffy hit on him, and he simply responded. She turned things around and made it sound like he was picking her up. Unbothered by Draig’s rage, Buffy smiled charmingly. “Besides, a nice gentleman has invited me for dinner.” The crowd made guesses about who would be having dinner with Buffy. Buffy sauntered toward Kaze and sat next to him. As the crowd watched on in disbelief, Buffy hooked her arm around Kaze’s. Um… It was an eye-bulging moment. Nothing more needed to be said. It was unbelievable. Instead of steering clear, Buffy showed her fondness toward Kaze, a dumped divorcée. Buffy would make herself a laughingstock. Besides, Kaze did no
“Should I defend you instead?” Buffy pointed at Cyan. “I heard you mocking Kaze. You better watch it. “Otherwise, you can kiss your career online goodbye. I don’t care whether you’re with Golden Scale Corporation.” Cyan turned pale. She would not doubt Buffy’s words. Buffy’s father was the former deputy chief. Jude still held influence within the organization. She had access to wealth and resources through control over Gwake Corporation. It would not take much for Buffy to get Cyan canceled. All Buffy needed to do was bribe her way to the higher management of Golden Scale Corporation.Cyan held her tongue. Unable to stand Buffy’s arrogance, Draig stepped forward in disgruntlement. “You must be Ms. Gwake. Even if Cyan was a little harsh about Kaze, she was only looking out for Kaze. You are taking things far by assaulting Cyan.“Cyan is my friend. Shouldn’t you answer to me? “Oh, I should introduce myself.” Draig looked at Buffy and said indifferently, “I am Draig
“I’m telling you, Kaze. We won’t stand by and watch you prey on these socialites,” Cyan uttered indignantly as if she stood on the path of justice. Kaze sighed. “I really want to slap you awake if not for your dad, Cyan. “Draig, you’re something else to dig your own grave in your father’s name.” “Tsk!” “Who do you think you are?” Draig and Cyan turned their noses up at Kaze’s remark. Cyan clamored, “Come on. Show me what you got.“You’re a joke. I exposed you for who you are, and you, in turn, want to slap me? “I’d love to see you try—” A woman stormed into the place and raised her hand. “Smack!” The slap echoed through the silent room, and the crowd stirred. “Buffy?” “She’s the only daughter of Jude, the former deputy chief of the Viper’s Den South River State Branch. She’s the chairwoman of Gwake Corporation.” “She’s the one rumored to be dating Lee.” Chatters filled the room. The crowd looked at Buffy in shock. Buffy showed up out of nowhere and slappe
Kaze was definitely the only one to show up to Bronze Sparrow on a bicycle. It took guts to do so. Kaze grabbed his carbonated drink from the table and took a sip before turning to Draig. He said indifferently, “I didn’t know there was a rule that a divorcee can’t attend today’s celebration. “Is there a rule that guests can’t attend the party on a bike? “Who makes the rules?” Faced with Kaze’s questioning, Draig and the others were lost for words. The guests exchanged looks. There were no such rules. However, Kaze should know his place. Kaze was asking for a beatdown by crashing a high-profile party when he was just a nobody. Draig nodded furiously. “You never learn, Kaze.”“He’s hopeless now. He’s hit rock bottom, so he’ll stay put no matter what we say.” Cyan gritted her teeth. It was frustrating to deal with someone like Kaze. No one was getting through to him. Without looking at the pair, Kaze said blankly, “Are you done? You can leave if you’re done.”
Since the branch leader would show up, Cyan did not want the branch leader to know that she was associated with Kaze. It would only be damaging to her reputation. While the group sought Kaze out, the latter sat alone in a living room corner, snacking and scrolling on his phone. Kaze was too hungry to care about what anyone else thought of him. His cheeks were full. The rich and powerful furrowed their brows in disdain, keeping their distance from Kaze. For some reason, Cyan saw red. “Kaze!” She angrily yelled and got up in his face, “Why are you eating like you’ve been starving for days? “Why are you stealing food here? “Do you know where you are? You’re an embarrassment!” Cyan’s voice attracted a lot of attention. The crowd gathered and gossiped among themselves about Kaze. Kaze was just chilling on his own, eating, and playing a mobile game. Cyan and her friends came at him out of the blue. He was beyond annoyed. If Cyan was not Lock’s daughter, he would’ve sl
“Mr. Ettinger!” the Viper’s Den members greeted Collier with their heads down. Collier buttoned up his suit and nodded. “Ms. Delmore is still in the office. I came ahead of her to see if there’s anything more to do.” Since Kaze would be attending the celebration, Hannah and Collier wanted to make sure everything was in order. Cyan beamed at the sight of Collier and exclaimed, “Mr. Ettinger!” Recognizing Cyan, Collier greeted her with a smile, “It’s you, Ms. Yemen. Welcome. Why aren’t you heading inside? Are you waiting for someone?” Cyan was delighted by Collier’s warm welcome. She pointed at the head of the Viper’s Den members in charge of gatekeeping. “I want to get in but your people said we can’t enter without an invite. “I guess the other guests who went in didn’t need an invite.” That was the reason why Cyan and Draig seethed in a corner. They realized that no one produced an invitation to get into Bronze Sparrow. In other words, the Viper’s Den members were jus
As the air crackled with deadly intent, Draig’s heart pounded with dread. He was horrified that the Viper’s Den members were just as strong, if not stronger than him. Draig had no idea that these members were Viper’s Den South River State Branch’s key players. They were the elites of the elites in the South River State. “Easy there, gentlemen. Mr. Tenby is from abroad. He doesn’t know the rules of Arcadia. Please cut him some slack.” With Draig caught in a spot, Cyan came to the rescue. Since Cyan was nice about it, the leader of the pack scoffed and waved his arm. His companions quickly put away their weapons. “I don’t care where you came from, but you need to keep to the Arcadian rules since you’re here. You don’t get special favors here.” The leader stared at Draig and said icily, “This should not happen again. Now, get lost!” Draig burned with rage. The people, except for Kaze, had been bending over backward for Draig since his arrival in Arcadia. To think he
The Viper’s Den members yelled at Draig while pulling out their weapons. The air was thick with tension. Draig knew that it was not wise of him to fight during Hannah’s celebration. The Viper’s Den members would not stand by and let the commotion stew. Draig was caught between a rock and a hard place. By throwing the punch, he would be at odds with the Viper’s Den, but he could not turn the other cheek on the matter. “Just forget it, Mr. Tenby. Don’t get into it with a dropped loser. You’re only insulting yourself.” Cyan gave Draig an out. Draig retrieved his arm and scoffed. “Consider yourself lucky, Kaze.” A shadow of regret fleeted across Kaze’s eyes. If Draig were to start a fight, Kaze would have reason to finish him off and get rid of the annoyance. It was a shame that the Viper’s Den members stopped anything from happening. Cyan criticized, “Mr. Tenby is only looking out for you, Kaze. Yet, you stomped on his car key. You went too far. Hurry up and apologiz
“Nevermind. Why are we wasting our time with the likes of him? We don’t belong in the same world anyway.” Draig waved his arm. “Come on. Let’s get inside.” Dumping his car on the side of the road, Draig led Cyan and her friends into Bronze Sparrow. “Huh? How did Kaze get in? Can he get in?” one influencer exclaimed. The crowd watched in shock as Kaze stepped through the door. “Branch Leader!” The members of the Viper’s Den South River State Branch perked up when Kaze showed up. They, Hannah’s trusted aides, knew who Kaze was. Kaze acknowledged the greeting. “Is everybody here?” The head of the pack said in respect, “Many guests have arrived. Ms. Delmore and Mr. Ettinger will be here once they are done with work. Should I inform them to keep you company, sir?” “No, I’ll sit and wait.” Kaze waved his arm and made his way inside. “Hold it right there, Kaze!” Cyan’s angry voice came from behind. “Are you aware of the event at Bronze Sparrow? Do you know who the
