“No matter where you are, be it in Lilyrose or anywhere in the South River State, or even the whole Arcadia, you can tell others that you are my godson and I will protect you!” Kaze never showed courtesy to people who sought trouble with him. His words silenced the entire house. Guests who came for the event widened their eyes in disbelief and almost forgot to breathe. Even the local Lilyroseans looked at Kaze in shock. They expected Kaze to reject the name change since he was known to be a tough guy, a stubborn person who spoke louder with his fists. He had crossed paths with many powerful and prominent figures up until now. From the top three families to the Vinlands, Magnus, the Viper’s Den West State Branch’s leader, and Gunter, the Glowmoss Powells, he bowed to no one. Everyone laughed at him and called him useless trash just because he married into his wife’s family but he was tougher than anyone else. Therefore, such an expectation was completely reasonable. Ho
It was just that things had taken an unexpected turn. Mason thought of Kaze rejecting but not in this humiliating way. He was aggrieved. It felt like a debate where one party was carefully choosing their words not to use vulgarities to maintain composure, while the other side bluntly resorted to outright hostility and said ‘fuck you’ in the face. Mason was the one trying to maintain composure while Kaze was the one who said ‘fuck you’ in his face. Thus Mason’s face flushed with emotions. “Kaze Lee, how dare you!” Jackson was also furious and aggrieved. If his father became Kaze’s godson, then it would make him Kaze’s god-grandson! He stepped up, pointed at Kaze, and shouted, “Know your place! My father is the head and the face of the Ridgesouth Quints, he represents us all! “You are just a live-in son-in-law of one of our tiny branch families. Who gave you the confidence and the audacity to challenge and insult my father like that?” Kaze looked at him and said indif
Jackson understood his father’s intention of getting revenge and it excited him. “Hehe, family rule?” Suddenly, Kaze scoffed. In the next moment, he moved swiftly and appeared in front of Jackson. With his hand extended, he seized Jackson’s throat, lifting him up like a little pet. “Kaze, what are you doing? Let go of my son!” Jackson was shocked and infuriated. Crack. Unfazed, Kaze moved his hand toward Jackson's uninjured arm. With a sudden exertion of strength, he snapped it cleanly. “Aaaargh!” The pain made Jackson cry like a little girl as his body shook violently. Both his arms were broken. Kaze tossed him aside like a ragdoll and then looked at Mason. With an indifferent smile, he said, “Is this what you called family rule?” “Aaah! Dad, it hurts so much…” Jackson twisted and twirled on the floor. His excruciating cry echoed across the living hall. His painful cry was the only noise in the quiet house. Everyone was stunned by the jaw-dropping scene,
Darcy was deeply concerned but it had come down to the worst situation and her only option was to side with Kaze. Kaze did not care about the people’s criticism. He smiled at Mason as if he was enjoying the anger on Mason’s face. “Yeah, I just broke your son’s arm, again. What can you do? You represent the Ridgesouth Quints and that gives you the right to run roughshod over me? I just hit back to teach your son a little lesson and you are that pissed off?” Mason almost passed out when Kaze referred to breaking Jackson’s arm as a ‘little lesson’. His eyes bulged and widened. He bellowed, “Kaze, you are asking for it! You really think there’s a place for you in our family after what you’ve done?” “I don’t care if your family has no place for me. I’ll make it straight for you. This is Lilyrose and even if your entire family is here, they will have to kneel before me with no complaints,” Kaze said scornfully. “Besides, you are just one man, Mason Quint, and you are not even may
Mason had made up his mind. To fully expand and take control of Lilyrose, he had to suppress Kaze, or else he would be held back and could not get anything done. It was no longer a personal affair. His future, career, and ideals were on the line. With this thought in mind, Mason calmed himself down. He scanned the room coldly before he looked at Kaze again. “Kaze, I believe two days later, Rove, a subsidiary under Perfect World Group, is going to be publicly listed, am I right? “Let me make it clear for you. The Ridgesouth Quints are issuing a total ban on Perfect World Group and also Kaze Lee, you, as an individual. “On the day of listing, anyone who stands with you stands against us, the Quints, and we will go after them one by one!” The crowd grew tumultuous listening to Mason’s announcement. Rove was a prized goose that laid golden eggs. Everyone knew that Rove was the market's favorite, and if they successfully went public, their stock price would skyrocket. Ye
“Kaze, look what you've done! The Quints have issued a total ban! What should we do now?!” Agnes pointed at Kaze furiously, her body shaking violently as she rapidly lost her calm. Kaze said indifferently, “Mom, you don’t have to worry. I’ll deal with it. I said it before, this is Lilyrose, even if the Quint family comes here, they won’t be able to do anything.” “That’s nonsense! Who do you think you are!” …That afternoon, the distribution of power in Lilyrose started to shift. A certain news spread across the city, reaching the darkest corner—Kaze was the chairman of Perfect World Group. All Lilyroseans knew Kaze Lee. He was known as the live-in son-in-law of the Quints, and solely relied on his wife to live his days. However, Kaze’s reputation had been steadily rising recently. First, he was revealed to be the chairman of Shangrila Group, and then the acting mayor. Now that he was no longer the mayor, he turned out to be the chairman of Perfect World Group. Al
“It’s embarrassing that I have to use such a method to deal with Kaze. Before I came here, I did not expect that little bastard to be so difficult to handle,” Mason said. He did not feel happy just because Sieg flattered him. Sieg shook his head and chuckled. “Mayor Quint, you are too humble. As long as your method works, it doesn’t matter if it’s despicable. After this, Kaze won’t have a place in Lilyrose anymore. “Congratulations for removing the cancer of the city before you even swear into office, Mayor Quint.” Mason simply smiled at Sieg’s flattery. With Kaze around, it would be difficult for the Geranium Lyfes to expand their influence to Lilyrose. However, Mason was not blindly confident about what was to come. “After visiting the Lilyrose Quints, I realized how powerful Kaze is. I investigated his background and found out that even the young and promising agents of the Viper’s Den were defeated, ending up crippled for life. “He’s also the former mayor, so it’s l
Although he had not seen what Daiso could do, based on Sieg’s description, Mason felt a sense of relief. “If that’s the case, then Kaze will be a dead person soon.” Mason said with a grin, “I would also like to congratulate you for getting revenge, Sieg.” Sieg’s eyes gleamed. He could sense the obvious sarcasm in Mason’s words. It was Mason who oppressed Kaze and now with the inclusion of a grandmaster ninja from Ryokan, Sieg practically did nothing. Without having done anything himself, how could this be considered getting revenge? Sieg smiled it off and said, “It’s embarrassing but since you have made your move, I shouldn’t stay in the audience seat as well. “Why don’t we give Kaze a grand funeral? I will contact my family at Geranium and tell them to support you to become mayor. I hope I can contribute a little in this grand takedown. “Whoever stands with Kaze will be standing against us, the Geranium Lyfes.” Mason nodded and smiled. “With you in the fray, I believ
