The Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families came to the funeral. Behind them was a group of eighteen men, carrying an expensive and large casket. What was the casket for? Was it an act of provocation? As the attendees pondered, Gunter, at the forefront, said coldly, “Vikrom, Logman, Joestar, you are late, but since you’ve prepared an expensive casket for Sonny, I’ll spare your lives. “Now, come up here and get on your knees!” Gunter had known since yesterday that the three families bought an expensive gilded agar wood casket. He simply thought the three families were late because of the delivery of the casket. Despite that, he insisted that they kneel and pay respect to Sonny in front of the other attendees because they were Kaze’s loyal followers. With them on their knees, it would send a message to the others, thus deterring and scaring them. As Gunter spoke, the other participants were struck with realization. The three families were late due to the delivery of th
As soon as Bernard’s voice subsided, the air became so heavy that it felt like the air molecules froze. What followed were the shouts from the Powell family. “Vikrom, you are going to die today!” “Where is Kaze Lee?! I will kill him!” …Even Morgana and Neegan, who were more esteemed than the others and could maintain calm in the worst situation possible, could not help but be infuriated by Bernard’s disrespectful words. Kaze asked the three families to prepare the casket for Gunter and demand him to bury himself? How ridiculous! No one believed Kaze had the capability to make it happen, so they could not understand what gave him the confidence to say such bold words. Even if they were just empty words, they were provocatively infuriating. All members of the Powells were fuming with anger. “Master Powell, this is too much! Not only did Kaze Lee refuse to show up and beg for his life, but he continued to challenge you!” “We should not wait any longer! We shall go
“You think you can challenge the Powells just because Kaze Lee is on your side?” As the shouting continued, the killers from the Powells stepped forward, planning to take action. “Step down!” Gunter bellowed all of a sudden. “Master Powell…” One of the gangsters was unhappy that Gunter had stopped them. However, before he could finish his sentence, Mosiah stepped forward from the back and struck the man on the chest with a palm strike. Baam! The gangster was one of the stronger ones from the north, yet he did not even react to the attack in time. The palm strike sent him flying. Blood spurted from his mouth as he crashed to the ground far away. A few tremors later, he died. The air went silent. Gunter’s strongest Legatus was ridiculously powerful! “I said step down!” Gunter did not even spare a glance at the body on the ground. He simply looked at the other killers. All the killers shuddered in fear and decided to comply without saying a word. “Vikrom, Logma
Everyone shuddered in fear when they heard Gunter’s words. Gunter was infuriated by Kaze’s doings. Therefore, he came up with the most wicked and vicious way to get revenge, which was to bury Kaze’s wife together with Sonny and make him watch so that he could never rest in peace. “That is a great idea, Master Powell! We will bury Kaze Lee together!” The killers from the other Powell family branches echoed loudly and agreed with Gunter’s idea. They were stimulated by his speech. The urge to kill Kaze got stronger. “Master Powell, we will be taking our leave now.” The other attendees and mourners dared not linger for long and decided to leave. Even a blind man could tell a war was imminent, or more accurately, a massacre, a one-sided massacre. The Glowmoss Powells were considered a foreign faction, so they were not afraid of the local laws. The locals, however, wished not to be involved. “Let’s go. We will go after Kaze Lee and his family. Also, we will capture ever
Then, Morgana stepped up and stared at Kaze. Her face was emotionless. She said strongly, “On your knees, repent your crimes! Following her strong voice, the unique aura of superiority was blasted at Kaze, attempting to scare and pressure him. Kaze was not just anyone, he was not afraid of the woman. “Who are you?” Since Gunter simply smiled and did not feel like talking, Kaze glanced at Morgana. “How dare you!” Morgana was furious. Her eyes were burning with rage as she bellowed, “I am Morgana Powell, the governor of West Hill of the North State! How dare a mayor of a city speak to me like that?! On your knees!” Kaze was not moved. “Neegan Powell, governor of South Ashmore of the South State.” Neegan stepped up and stood beside Morgana. With a smirk, he said, “Mayor Lee, shouldn’t you be on your knees when you see me? “Oh wait, I just remembered. The send-off party was held at the city council earlier and you are no longer the mayor. You are just a commoner now,
There were nine provinces and eighty-one states in Arcadia. The number of cities in each state varied, ranging from a dozen to as many as thirty. Other than the mega cities under the direct rule of the federal government, which also granted the officers their outstanding authority, a mayor in a rural city was certainly not powerful enough to challenge the top brass. Morgana looked at Kaze condescendingly and said coldly, “Kneel if you know who you are dealing with. You are dead either way, but at least I can ask Master Powell to grant you a swift death.” However, Kaze did not react as the others expected. Instead of kneeling on the ground in terror, he remained composed. “Why is the world filled with stupid idiots like you?” Kaze sighed and shook his head. He said without looking back, “Sven, Wolf, can you two silence our honorable governors? A slap on their faces would do just the job.” He came for Gunter, not the governors whom he did not even bother to remember their nam
Morgana’s distant cousin was a well-known gangster in the North State. He was notorious because he was brutal and ruthless with his knife. His men were also the best of the best. The Powells did not just gather any street thugs from the underworld and not all gangsters had the privilege to attend the funeral. Those who were called by the family were ruthless men who killed and tortured others without blinking. Yet Sven and Wolf wiped them all out without breaking a sweat! “Who would have thought that there are such powerful men in Lilyrose? That explains why Antovan and Gustav died in your hands,” Gunter said as he sighed. He looked at Sven and Wolf and asked, “Why don’t you two serve me instead? Money, power, and woman, I can give you everything you want!” It was surprising that Gunter would still want to recruit them after what happened. However, it was only normal because no one would complain about having two powerful followers. Sven and Wolf turned a deaf ear at
“You two are still too young, like birdlings who just learned how to fly. You two have not grown fully yet, and there is no way you two can beat me. “However, out of respect for the same kind, I will kill you two with my own hands.” The quiet Mosiah spoke a lot for once. Sven’s and Wolf’s appearance must have intrigued him deeply. Even Gunter found it surprising. He looked at Sven and Wolf, saying, “Mosiah, you must kill them.” He felt scared when he heard Mosiah calling Sven and Wolf his own kind. Only he knew how terrifying Mosiah was. The man might not be human but a monster. A monster like him would destroy the things that he could not get. If Sven and Wolf were spared and got another chance to grow stronger, it would be a nightmare for Gunter and it would surely haunt him in the future. “I will.” Mosiah nodded as he strolled forward to Sven and Wolf. As he strolled, a terrifying aura exploded around him. The aura carried a destructive force that felt like i
