Sirius’ expression turned ferocious as he continued to provoke Kaze. “Ugh…” Kaze slightly tightened his fingers, causing Sirius’ words to stick in his throat. The suffocation swiftly drowned him. For a moment there, Sirius really thought Kaze would strangle him to death. Yet the next moment, he felt a sudden relief and his body started to fall. Bump! He fell on the floor and the impact almost shattered his body. “Sirius Glitter, you want to play? Let’s play.” Kaze then kicked Sirius several meters away. The executives of Perfect World Group breathed a sigh of relief. They had feared Kaze might actually strangle Sirius, giving him exactly what he wanted. Killing a person on the day Rove was listed would be a huge deal and once the news made the headlines, the shares of Perfect World Group would be beyond saving. Besides, Kaze would also have to answer to the police for taking a life in public. Seeing Kaze release Sirius, Mason subtly shook his head in disappoin
The three women possessed exquisite beauty and outstanding physique. Their appearance made the men nervous. “Who are they? What are they doing here?” “The chairwoman of Sky Ocean Corporation, Darcy Quint.” “The chairwoman of Lefteria Group, Miru Scarlet.” “The CEO of Shangrila Group, Winnie Souffle.” “Together with Kaze Lee’s secretary in Perfect World Group, Snow Frost, the four of them are known as the Four Belles of Lilyrose.” “I know Darcy Quint is Kaze Lee’s wife. As for the other two, they seemed to have a deep relationship with him. I thought they were rumors until now.” “Rumors or not, if they chose to stand by Kaze at this particular time, they must have the guts. I am jealous of Kaze Lee all of a sudden.” “Yeah. Kaze Lee is doomed and so are they. I wonder who will get them in the end.” “Darcy Quint was just chosen as the head of the branch family of the Quints, and her appearance here would certainly infuriate the main family. It’s not looking good for he
The Quints and Lyfes could influence how the share price went but could not determine its fate. Unless the two families disregarded their budgets and blindly threw money into the stock market, or else, the deciding power would still be in the hands of the majority of individual investors. The numbers on the screen were a direct reflection of the situation. After a pause, Rove’s share price continued to climb higher. It meant that people started to see momentum in the share and found out that some big players had entered the market, so they followed. As the share price climbed, Sirius’ and Mason’s expressions ashened. “Those bitches!” Sirius squeezed the vulgarity out of his clenched teeth. Now that the three women had joined the fray, it meant the thirty million he dumped into the market disappeared. He had lost the money. The Glitter family was wealthy but losing thirty million in such a short time made his heart bleed. The most frustrating thing was that the thi
However, Kaze appreciated Miru’s support a lot. He knew she went through arduous efforts to fork out a hundred million to support him. “Miru, stop it!” Darcy looked at Kaze. “Kaze, don’t feel pressured. The Quints and the Lyfes are a tremendous force no matter where they are. “If you really lose this, I am still proud of you because you stood up against them boldly. “Just do what you want and don’t hold back. Since they want us dead, then we will survive! Worst comes to worst, I’ll just be homeless with you.“We are still young, and we can make a comeback in the future.” Darcy’s words sounded loud and strong, her tone resolute. It seemed like she also disapproved of the Quint and Lyfe families' despicable actions.When she decided to spew those words in that specific manner, she was ready to side with Kaze to the end, regardless of the consequences. Till death do us part, like in their wedding vows. In Darcy’s case, they would be together even after death. Kaze was
“Hahaha! “Kaze Lee, do you still have money in your account? You better take them out to save yourself. “If you are any slower, you can’t even save yourself or your family.” As the share price plummeted, Sirius, Mason, and the others started to gloat at Kaze. One billion acted as a leveraging effect, and it was much stronger than the thirty million. Geranium Stock Exchange grew tumultuous as the share price fluctuated. Almost all the investors joined the short-selling spree as no one could stop the share price from dropping. Looking at the scene, Darcy and the others frowned and their expressions turned gray. Then, several sedans arrived at the entrance. “Kaze Lee, you must be out of options. Who are you calling to save you now?” “What about the Butterworth Queen? Your supporter from the military? I thought you were a Nepo Baby and a live-in husband, where are they now?” As the people from the sedans came out with fruit baskets, Mason thought they were there to cong
Mason did not consider the possibility of them choosing to support Kaze. Back at the Quint family’s place, he had made it clear that anyone who supported Kaze would be opposing the main Quint family. Who else would risk making an enemy of the Quint family after the announcement? To his surprise, the three families showed up under pressure just to support Kaze. They also arrived with two billion in combined funds, which should be everything the families had. Had they no idea that this was not just a simple investment or capitalism game? By doing this, they stood against the Ridgesouth Quint and the Geranium Lyfe, making enemies with two titans. Now, even the factions from different cities were shocked. They could see the anxiety and worry in the Lilyroseans’ eyes. There was no way the Liliyroseans had no idea about the consequences. Yet they had made their choices and decided to support Kaze unconditionally. What kind of charm Kaze possessed that he could influence
“Thank you. I’ll spare the speech for another day.” Kaze waved at them without looking back. “Snow, arrange for them to be seated.” Employees of Perfect World Group brought chairs over and served them tea. Bernard and the others were treated like VIPs. Looking at the scene, Mason and his group felt terrible. They arrived for some time already but the employees did not provide them with a single chair, and they were left standing throughout the confrontation. The people from the guild, who should be less powerful and wealthy than they were, got seated and treated like VIPs. “Vikroms, Logmans, Joestars, the whole Lilyrose Commerce Guild, you guys are dead!” Mason was burning with jealousy and grievance. He could not do anything about Kaze at the moment so he lashed out at the others. Without further ado, he pulled his phone out as his expression turned pale. “The Lilyrose Commerce Guild, Vikroms, Logmans, and Joestars, I want them all banned right now! Contact their p
How many times was it? Judging from Mason’s intention, he would never stop until he completely got rid of Perfect World Group. It seemed difficult for Kaze and his company to make a comeback from this. Suddenly, another car arrived in front of the company. Could it be another of Kaze’s supporters? Everyone in the lobby instinctively turned to the entrance. The car was a Yuber. If the person had to call a ride to come here to support Kaze, how powerful or rich could the person be? The three families with the heads had their cars even though they were sedans. Then, everyone saw an old man with silver hair exited the car. The old man came out in a hurry, wearing a doctor’s robe and a surgical mask, which shielded his face. No one was able to see his face. The man strode into the lobby and went straight up to Kaze. He smiled and said, “Kaze, I just finished surgery and I heard your company is having a problem, so I came to show my support. “But I don’t have that much
Joan, a Quint member in Riverbank, walked in the front. She glared at Rhys and yelled, “Bastard! Didn’t you say that you were in Westeros attending some film festival? Why are you still in Riverbank?” Rhys looked at his girlfriend, who put him on a tight leash lately, and said awkwardly, “Well, the film festival is over. I arrived home early. I just got back.” He and Joan had been dating for six months. They were not serious, though. There were a lot more women for Rhys to explore in the world. He did not want to be held down by a ball and chain. However, his father, Boris, felt that it was time for Rhys to get married and have kids. Since Joan came from a prestigious family, Rhys got together with her. Joan had always been the one to act submissive in his presence. She would turn a blind eye to his romantic pursuits and even cover for him. Rhys understood well that Joan would be marrying up. However, Joan had been getting full of herself lately. It was not her fi
“Do you know who Mr. Road is? His father is Boris Road, one of Riverbank’s four underground kingpins. “If you don’t want trouble, you better delete the video now!” The group turned white and deleted the video. They might not understand the threat that came with Great Road Group. However, Boris, one of Riverbank’s four underground kingpins, had been a menace for twenty years. No one would want to get on his bad side. Many shook their heads and sighed. No one could save Sasha now. It was a shame that the innocent and pretty girl ran into Rhys today. They knew what would happen to Sasha at the hands of Rhys. No one dared to speak up against Rhys’ indecent behavior in broad daylight. “Sasha is your name? It’s beautiful. You can use it as your stage name.” Rhys did not care what others thought about him. As Sasha shivered in fear, Rhys stood proud at his decision to slap the sales representative. He gave Sasha’s cheek a squeeze and said with a lewd smile, “Trust me. Get
“I’m sorry, mister, but I’m not interested in becoming a star.” Sasha backed away and said firmly but politely, “I’m waiting for a friend. Please leave me alone.” While talking, she looked outside for Kaze. Rhys was surprised that Sasha would turn him down without hesitation. He said with a grimace, “You’re not interested? What are you interested in? “Why are you saying no to money?” Sasha was scared as the guy would not leave her alone. She replied, “I just want to finish school. Now isn’t the time to think about money.” She took out her phone to call Kaze. “Aren’t you rude?” Rhys commented with a fake smile. He snatched Sasha’s phone, and the latter panicked and uttered in fright, “G-Give that back!” “I offered you a shortcut in life, and you should’ve taken it.” Rhys released his grip, and the phone dropped to the floor. “Crack!” He stomped on the phone and said grimacingly, “Don’t act like you’re above all, gold digger. What’s a poor college girl doing at
Out of the two young sidekicks, one sported a soft gray hair while the other had a buzz cut and a shaved undercut along his temple. The pair checked Sasha out, their eyes reflecting greed. Since their leader made a request, the pair played nice. Since their leader took a fancy to the girl, the two sidekicks no longer stood a chance. Maybe when their leader had enough, they would have a go with the girl too. “Are you… Talking to me?” Taken aback, Sasha looked at the leader. The man was in his thirties. Despite his good looks, his heavy eyebags and pale face were pretty off-putting. Sasha had no idea that these were symptoms of bad habits, alcoholism, overindulgence, and lack of exercise. Still, the man gave off a disgusting and fearful vibe to Sasha. The man smiled at Sasha pretentiously, lewdly, and maliciously. The customers stepped away, not wanting to get on the man’s nerves. “I won’t hit on anyone else but you.” The man thought he made a pretty badass comm
Kaze said with a smile, “Alright. A few thousand, it is.” He was relieved to see Sasha staying true to herself despite knowing that he was rich. Kaze wanted to put Sasha in something nice to save her from being mocked. At the same time, he did not want her to acquire something too high of value without putting in some kind of effort. It would not be a good thing for Sasha. The present situation was perfect. Ruby grimaced and looked at the sales representative with a sneer. She said, “I hope you’re not in on this too.“Hundreds of millions in transactions? Him?” Ruby may act like an adult, but her experience was limited to the academic world. She would not imagine that kind of money. The sales representative cocked her head back and said curtly, “Ma’am, the problem isn’t in the lack of knowing, but ignorance coupled with arrogance is. “Don’t question things you don’t understand.” The sales representative could care less about her manners now. Her manager warned
“His act was so convincing. He nearly got me fooled.” “Tsk! So we have a repeat offender in our hands.” Ruby and Lance felt the sweet taste of vengeance. They were this close to believing Kaze was wealthy. The female customers in the crowd looked at Kaze in disdain. Kaze sure went all out to tell the sales representative to put the bill on his card when his bank account was empty. At least Lance was honest. He could not make the payment because his card was frozen. “Now you know, girl. There are a lot of men out there, pretending they are made of money to scam young, innocent girls like you.” “Don’t be so nice to the bastard. Just tell him to get lost.” Two kind customers persuaded Sasha. Sasha waved her arms with a red face. “No, Kaze isn’t putting on a show. I didn’t want this gown anyway.” She could not bring herself to put on a two-hundred-thousand-dollar gown. Ruby scoffed. “Oh, stop defending Kaze. He’s just a poser.“Haha! Only a hick like you would fall
With a darkened expression, Ruby commanded Lance, “Don’t you have a lot of wealthy friends? Just get two hundred thousand from them. Call them and ask them for help!” Lance gradually lost his patience. “They are not the friends who would lend me money. I should be grateful that they don’t come to me for money, and you are asking me to go to them for help? “It’s just a dress. Why are we buying it today? Let’s just do a rain check. When my father unfreezes my credit card, I’ll buy you something more expensive!” He wanted to take Ruby away but the woman was being stubborn. Anger rushed to her head as she shook Lance’s hand off. She shouted, “You useless piece of shit, you can’t even afford a two-hundred-grand dress? Don’t touch me! Get out of my face!” Lance got mad too. “If you have the fucking money, buy it yourself! I’m not your husband! You are begging me to buy it but you’re raising your voice?!” “You?!” Ruby wanted to slap some sense into Lance but the other customers
Ruby was confident in her body. Her physique allowed her to wear all kinds of beautiful dresses flawlessly, so she knew she would fit in the gown without even trying. However, the gown had a pure and innocent vibe, which did not fit her demeanor and temperament. The different style did not bother her because she was carried away by the price tag; the more expensive it was, the more it satisfied her vanity. “Miss, this is the most expensive gown in our store. It was created by a famous designer overseas. It cost two hundred thousand,” said the storekeeper. “Two hundred thousand for a gown?! Even the celebrities aren’t wearing something this expensive!” “Yeah. Maybe the top celebrities can afford it but a small one could never!” “Forget about it. We won’t be able to afford it, but it’s nice to have a look.” “I can’t afford it either. Different people, different lives.” When the price was revealed, the other customers gasped in astonishment, followed by regret and jealousy
Ruby thought that after mocking Sasha and Kaze, they would leave the store with a sour look, yet the two of them went to another section to continue shopping. Sasha’s timid figure was a pain in her eyes. In the other section, Kaze asked the storekeeper to do the same as the previous store. “Pick a gown for my sister here. She’s going to wear it to emcee at a party.” To their surprise, Ruby and Lance came after them. “You two poor bastards, get out of the way! Can you even afford the clothes here? Hmph! “You, I want you to pick something for me that is fitting!” The female storekeeper looked troubled. “Miss, this…” “Cut the crap and get on with it!” The storekeeper was instantly defeated by Ruby’s aggressive demeanor. She quickly sized up Ruby’s body and physique and selected a red gown with a deep frontal cutting for her. “Miss, this one might look nice on you.” “Let me have a look.” Ruby took the gown and looked at the price tag. She then tossed it on the floor
