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
“The two of them are closely related to Kaze Lee. One liked him while the other seemed to be having an affair with him. “If we can humiliate Kaze Lee’s woman, then I bet you will feel better after what he did to you earlier today.” “What a great idea, Sonny!” Niko snapped his fingers before looking at Vicky and Winnie. “You two heard the man, now do it. Hurry up, we don’t have all day!” Winnie and Vicky shuddered in fear. The tears of insult and embarrassment rolled down their cheeks uncontrollably. “Brenda, close your eyes.” Winnie covered her daughter’s eyes before slowly reaching for her collar. Vicky did the same. “Who the fuck are you? Young Master Cosmo is having business inside. If you don’t want to die…” “Aaah!” Cosmo’s men suddenly started shouting outside at the door, but the shouts soon turned into painful cries. Bang! With a loud smash, everyone in the living room turned to the door, just in time to see two of Cosmo’s men being thrown into the room s
“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
“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
“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
After Katie sent Leah to the hospital, she went back to work. She had a lot on her plate recently and it made her hesitant. Many decisions must be made at once. Many documents required her attention but she was not in the mood to go through them. Her eyes were watching the news on her computer screen. She seemed to know what had happened yet the headlines were not showing, which made her anxious. “Nothing?” Katie felt strange. According to the scale of the incident, it should be making headlines. Hijacking a plane was no small matter, yet not one article about it was published. She felt strange. “Madam Loren, the Viper’s Den wanted to meet you. They said it is for some documents,” Joey said as she came in. “What documents?” Katie felt strange and instantly became suspicious. “The projects previously under Jet Frost and his family required your signatures. The money has already been transferred but they need one last confirmation on the numbers,” Joey said professiona
Snow could not go to Kaze because she had to stay back to handle the rest of the matter. “You know that person.” Peter dared not lie anymore because he wanted to ask for forgiveness. “You’re still trying to negotiate?” Arthur knew what Peter was targeting since he did not finish the sentence. “I regret what I have done but I want to see if the Viper’s Den could forgive me this once. I’ll make up for what I have done. Can you please let me go?” Peter boldly made his request, albeit knowing that it was unlikely to work, he hoped to gain attention. “Don’t even think about it. You’ll be out of the Viper’s Den after this. We won’t hold you responsible and consider it mercy from us.” Arthur did not want to go after Peter but he could not allow the young man to stay in the organization anymore. People who had betrayed the Viper’s Den could no longer be part of it. “I didn’t know it was this serious. Besides, that person is from the Viper’s Den as well.” Peter regretted hi
“I wonder how Chairman Lee is doing. If he’s alone, he’ll definitely get out of the situation but there’s a whole plane of hostages with him. He must be in a difficult position.” Snow knew Kaze’s personality well enough, thus her worries. Kaze would never escape alone and abandon the people. He would either leave with everyone or stay to find a way to solve the matter. Snow then suddenly sighed a breath of relief because she knew Kaze would never spare the hijackers for what they did. She was no longer overly concerned and focused instead on resolving the matter at hand. A while later, Arthur came back hurriedly. “I’ve checked the records. Only a handful of people know that Mr. Lee left and they are all whom we are familiar with and trusted. The traitor must be among them.” He dared not believe that Kaze’s schedule was leaked from his side. “No one at my side knows about Chairman Lee’s schedule except me,” Snow said confidently. She started to feel more certain about t
Snow had already sent men to where the plane was found. If the passengers were taken away, then they must still be nearby. It was difficult to transport an entire plane of passengers to some place far within such a short time. It was a race against time. Snow did not know who would do such a thing. Kaze took a common flight like everyone else, yet it was hijacked. It was strange. The coincidence was uncanny. Snow believed the hijacking happened because of Kaze but she did not know why. “The only explanation is that there’s a traitor among us…” She finally came to an unlikely conclusion after combing through the details. If there were a traitor, it must be within the Viper’s Den. Kaze had laid a low profile for as long as he was in Butterworth. Not many people knew about his identity and those who wanted to make connections with him were because of Snow. It was unlikely that someone would go after him so suddenly unless this person knew his identity and background.
If they were sent to capture Kaze, then they were severely under-numbered. In addition, they allowed Kaze to be alone with the captives, which proved that they were inexperienced. Or maybe they did not know what he had done in the past as the God of War. Kaze believed that the mercenaries were after him but they did not know his true identity. There must have been some miscommunication between them and their employer, which was good news to Kaze. Tiguan and his men were eating. Since they were unable to identify the target, they were forced to bring everyone back. The plane was huge. It would be an easy target for the law enforcement to locate them. Maybe the outside world had caught wind of the hijacking. “Boss, what should we do now? That man seems like he vanished into thin air.” “We got his boarding information but we can’t identify him on the plane.” “Who are we looking for exactly? Why is he so mysterious?” The men were baffled. “We are looking for the righ
“We are almost there. We have to transfer these people as soon as possible. The plane must take off right away. We cannot leave any traces behind.” They must hurry or they would be caught very soon. They held the pilot hostage and forced him to do an abrupt landing. The sudden descent caught everyone off guard, shocking them. A few of the passengers even hit their heads. Many of them did not get the chance to fasten their seat belts. Kaze grabbed Barney and protected his head from hitting the front seat. “Thank you.” Barney looked at Kaze with gratitude and then looked outside. “Where are we? Have we reached?” He was worried that they would be completely trapped. “They are going to transfer us elsewhere.” Kaze had a similar experience before and he knew what the hijackers would do next. “Transfer us? Are they going to transfer us to somewhere secluded and kill us all?” Barney looked horrified as he stared at Kaze. He somehow felt safe beside Kaze. “They sai
