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
“Yeah, we are in charge of the family now! No one else has the right to speak!” “Hart, you think you can climb on top of us just because you sided with Kaze Lee? You are too naїve!” The other family members continued to mock and insult Hart, Daphne, and his other family members. Daphne got two more slaps on her face. Her delicate cheeks were already swelling red. “Syed, stop it! Don’t you do it!” Hart was furious and aggrieved as he watched Daphne getting slapped. He endured the pain in his knees and tried his best to get up on his feet. He stared at Syed and the others viciously. “Had Mr. Lee not been generous with you? Based on what you people have done, the Lyfe family would be history for a long time. Not only did you not appreciate his mercy but you got worse. Why did you bring us here?” Hart and his family were having dinner at their own home when a bunch of men with bats barged into their house and abducted them. When they were brought down from the car, only the
“Take them away and lock them out! Do not let them contact anyone!” Syed said as he raised his hand. With the thugs escorting them, Hart and his family did not stand a chance and were taken away. Syed then looked at his family and scoffed, “The day after tomorrow, we will go to Perfect World Group just to see how Kaze Lee humiliates himself! I want to see how he dies!” The whole family cackled as if they could already see Kaze being trampled. …The exact situation happened elsewhere as well. Regarding Perfect World Group and Kaze, the people reacted with a mix of schadenfreude; sneering sarcasm and regretful sighs while opinions and comments varied widely. However, most of them believed the legendary live-in son-in-law of the Quint family would not escape death this time, unlike before. His opponent was ridiculously strong this time—the Ridgesouth Quint and Geranium Lyfe. Either one of them was a titan to the ordinary. Perfect World Group had grown to a sizable scale
“Lastly, Rove’s offering price is 55 gils. If the price can rise to 100 gils when the market closes today, then Rove’s assets can be doubled. Based on Perfect World Group’s share in Rove, we are looking at a two billion increase,” Snow said with a smile. “You’re optimistic,” Kaze said with a smile. “What if it drops below the market price? Then everyone will be homeless like me.” The people around Kaze laughed heartily when they heard him. Others would certainly crumble under the pressure of the Ridgesouth Quint and Geranium Lyfe and there was no way to make a comeback from there. However, the man they chose to follow was Kaze Lee, and only they understood how good he was at creating miracles. Therefore, they never lost hope in him and were certain that Perfect World Group would overcome this crisis. When the big screen in the lobby lit up to show the trading page, everyone looked composed and confident. Some of the Rove executives could not help but feel nervous while so
When the car door opened, Mason, in his tailored suit, came out bearing a domineering aura. Behind him was Jackson, whose arms were in casts. The father and son looked up at the signage of Perfect World Group with a frosty and vicious glare. “Mayor Quint!” When Mason arrived, the family and company representatives, plus the investors, came over to greet him. First of all, Mason was the face of the Quint family of Ridgesouth. Second, when he became mayor of Lilyrose, the others would have to look to him for money-making opportunities. Even prominent figures with a high status showed a decent amount of respect for the man. No one would stand against money. “Hahaha, thank you, my friends. Thank you for being here for me.” Mason waved and nodded at everyone. “Now, let us go in and see what awaits us.” He then led the crowd and strolled into the main lobby of Perfect World Group. When the fierce crowd came unannounced, the executives and employees were alarmed. How
