“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
Kaze indifferently said, “Niko Powell, you went after the Vikrom family and Winnie just to get back at me. I’m here now. Let them go and we’ll settle this man to man. Is that okay?” Niko’s expression darkened as he recalled what happened back at the coffee shop. “Just to get back at you? Who do you think you are?” He bolted up and gestured at his men, “Let them go. When I’m done with this bastard, I’ll have all the time in the world to play with them.” His men stepped down. “Ms. Souffle, this way.” Conan carried Brenda and led Winnie and Vicky out of the mansion. “Kaze, be careful.” Winnie knew Kaze wanted to settle this man-to-man, so her staying would do him no good. After leaving him with a word of concern, she went out with Conan. “Thanks,” Vicky said to him with a complicated look before she went out as well. When Winnie and the others left, Kaze’s expression turned dark. He looked at Niko, Sonny, and Cosmo as he said coldly, “You three must have a death wish
Antovan and Gustav knew they were brought to Arcadia by Gunter because of the man before them. They grinned viciously and their eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty glow. When they exuded their murderous aura, the air in the living hall froze. Niko’s other men felt so pressured that they dared not make a noise, let alone move. Sonny pointed at Antovan and said, “Antovan the White Python. A genius in martial arts, a master of jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and karate. His combat capabilities are unrivaled in Zion Mercenaries. “Try not to get caught by him or he will constrict you like a python, strangling you to death. He then pointed at Gustav and continued, “This one is Gustav the Kodiak, born with super strength. You’d better be careful, Kaze Lee. One slap from him can smash your head and it might explode like a watermelon. It’s going to be gory.” He introduced the two legati in meticulous detail, explaining their traits and revealing some of their weaknesses. It was foolish to re
“The Fatty didn’t die after taking a slap from Gustav, he’s quite sturdy.” “Kodiak, don’t hold back! Slap him to death!” Niko and the others burst into laughter, with some even tearing up. They had never seen such a foolish person who got stunned before the fight even started and did not fight back. In the midst of the laughing, Gustav raised his hand. Bang! The slap turned Wolf’s face to the side, his face swelled even more. To everyone’s surprise, Wolf did not die. Not only did he survive the second slap, but he was also standing straight and firm as if his feet were rooted to the floor. With Gustav’s strength, he could easily send a man of 120 kg flying with one slap, yet Wolf did not budge. At that moment, even Niko and the others sensed something was wrong. They stopped with the sneers and humiliation and stared at Wolf with uncertainty. Spat! Wolf spat a mouthful of blood to the floor and then stretched his neck. He grinned and said, “Furball, that’s all
Kaze actually sent Sven and Wolf to the labs in Lilyrose Strategic Department for testing and studies. Both of them had unusual physical traits, which made them stronger than ordinary humans. Not even the lab could provide a precise explanation. Compared to the gigantic Gustav, Wolf, who looked just like any bloated man, was the one with super strength. If he had been born in ancient times, he would probably rule as a king. “Hmph!” At that moment, Antovan grunted and went to Wolf, looking emotionless. “Arcadian monkey, simply being strong is not enough. I always looked down on Gustav, he’s all muscles and no brain. I bet you are the same as him. Now, I will take your life,” he said as he shot a murderous glare at Wolf. “I will be your opponent.” The quiet and frivolous Sven finally responded. He strolled up to the man and looked into his eyes. He flatly said, “You have three shots at me as well. After that, I will kill you.” Antovan was not in a hurry to kill Sven
The reason Antovan used the jiu-jitsu technique last was that it required less endurance and strength than the first two, relying more on agility and technique. To his surprise, Sven did not seem to be familiar with the danger of jiu-jitsu, which allowed him to draw closer. It would be the best chance for Antovan to kill Sven. He strongly believed once he got a grip on Sven, no one could break him free. He would eventually strangle Sven to death like a giant python. Unfortunately, he was soon disappointed when he realized Sven’s body was as hard as steel. No matter how hard he pulled or twisted, he was not able to move Sven at all. “What the hell?” Antovan was losing his calm. He exhausted most of his strength and it would be dangerous for him if the fight continued. Without further ado, he wanted to draw distance from Sven to regroup and rethink the situation. Sven did not give him the chance to retreat this time. “My turn.” The defensive Sven looked into Antov
Sonny did not break eye contact with Kaze, his face grimacing. A student of Gunter, Sonny knew best what these two legati were made of. Though they were a lot weaker than Mosiah, not many in Glowmoss could defeat them.Yet, they were crushed. Niko found it the hardest to accept reality. He was convinced that the Three Great Legati would make Kaze grovel at his feet and submit to him. Reality told a different story. The weight of the situation came crashing down on Niko. “That’s impossible. No way.“Uncle Gunter took the legati under his wing. They couldn’t possibly be killed easily. I bet he played dirty,” Niko yelled menacingly. He seemed to be at breaking point. “Played dirty? Ha.” Kaze scoffed and drew close to slap Niko in the face. Wham!Niko crashed to the ground, his jaw dropped as blood gushed out. Kaze did not hold back his strength, nearly whipping the life out of Niko. Unable to take it anymore, Sonny stepped forward and said grimly, “Niko belongs to
“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
