Kaze was not bluffing. The five strongest nations’ intelligence agencies used to invest heavily, hiring different assassins from different countries to kill him. Some of them were the assassins on the Dark Vault’s leaderboard. Since they had a death wish, Kaze granted their wish and killed all who came his way. However, due to certain reasons, some of them did not die and were released. Therefore, it was not exaggerating that they owed Kaze their lives. One phone call and Kaze could summon them before him. “You?” May did not believe a word Kaze said. “Kaze Lee, I have to admit that you are quite decent since you started off with nothing, you are considered a prodigy. “But this world isn’t as simple as you think it is. You are bragging, don’t you know that? The assassins on the leaderboard are elusive. Not to mention that people can’t even see them in person. If you can even spell out one of their names, then I will look at you differently. “Unfortunately, you don’
May looked down on Kaze and purposely gave him a hard time. She strongly believed Kaze got the name Venom Kanon from somewhere and used it to show off. Kaze shook his head and said regrettably, “It seems like Mrs. Frost is determined to sell your daughter away.” “What do you mean, Kaze Lee?!” May was furious, and the anger was written on her face. She really wanted to tear Kaze’s mouth off of his face. “Actually, you can trust me for once. I mean, what do you have to lose? Yet you chose to ignore me, so other than your mind’s made up to sell Snow away, I can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t take the bet,” Kaze said. “You!” May knew Kaze was trying to provoke her, and it was effective. “Fine. I’ll take a bet on you.” May nodded and continued coldly, “But you have to prove yourself first, I don’t want to waste time on you.” Kaze nodded. “Sure, how do you want to do this?” “It’s simple.” May’s lips curled into a grin. She looked at the elderly at the door and s
Right before the palm strike could land, Kaze moved. He tilted his head to the side and easily dodged the palm strike under Bass’ surprised gaze. At the same time, he took a step forward and countered with a palm strike of his own. “You’re quick, kid. I wonder how strong you are.” Bass grinned and switched his palm upward. Baam! The two palms clashed, causing a burst in the air. “You!” Suddenly, Bass’ expression ashened. An intense pain struck his palm as fierce energy penetrated his body, wreaking havoc in every inch of his muscles and bones. His face flushed. His arm then weakened and turned soft. Kaze’s palm strike continued forward and hit Bass’ face. Slap! The loud slap sent Bass flying and spinning in the air, crashing through Snow’s door and falling on the corridor outside. A red handprint appeared on Bass’ face. He covered his face in anger and embarrassment as he looked at Kaze in shock. What happened? He was already surprised that Kaze dodged
Both of Bass' cheeks were covered in red slap marks, and when he heard May yelling at him, he got up again and ran toward Kaze. Without saying a word, Kaze threw another slap at Bass. Bass was prepared this time. He chose defense instead of offense. When he saw Kaze’s slap coming at him, his heart raced and he focused on dodging the strike. He used every ounce of his strength to move as swiftly as possible. Yet Kaze was faster. Slap! Bass was sent flying again. Kaze frowned. “You are not using your full strength? Old man, you are looking down on me.” “Bass, this isn’t the time for you to be merciful toward the young ones. You are holding back, but he’s not! Use whatever you have and beat him up! Don’t let him get ahead of you!” May bellowed anxiously. Bass got up on his feet and covered his swollen cheek. He was shaking violently when he heard the two of them. Kaze was a wicked one. He knew Bass was no match for him yet he continued to make it sound like Bass
Kaze looked at May. “Mrs. Frost, have I proven my worth?” May turned pale. Bass was defeated and it embarrassed her. In the end, she sighed heavily before she walked away. “Kaze Lee, since you’ve beaten Bass, I’ll take my chances and trust you for once. You have one day. If you can get Venom Kanon to settle our family’s problem, I will leave Lilyrose immediately. “Otherwise, I will take Snow away and I am not kidding with my daughter’s life.” Kaze furrowed his brows for a moment before they eased up. One day? Honestly, it was enough.May then brought Bass away and left Lily Suites. “Mr. Lee, I’m sorry that my mother is rude. Please don’t mind her,” Snow said apologetically. “For your sake, I’ll let it slip. Don’t worry, I said I’d help, and I intend to do so.” Kaze smiled and patted Snow’s head. It was an instinctive move and when he realized what he had done, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. “Uh, you have some rest. I’ll come by tomorrow.” Kaze imme
Half an hour later, Kaze and Snow arrived at May’s hotel. “Mr. Lee and Ms. Frost? This way please.” A female hotel staff escorted them into a restaurant, where May and Bass were already seated, waiting for their arrival. Other than the two of them, a woman in a tight suit and icy look was there too. When she saw Kaze, she scrutinized him, openly and cautiously. Kaze ignored the woman and sat down opposite May. He said, “Mrs. Frost, I’ve called Venom Kanon to come here. From now on, you don’t need to worry about your safety anymore. “I believe you already know what Venom Kanon can do, and I also believe that with her strength, she can rival Midas King.” May did not say a word. She looked at the ice lady and asked, “Dove, you are our family’s security supervisor. I want your opinion on this.” Kaze finally paid attention to the woman. Dove Frost, security supervisor of all the Frost family’s companies. It explained why she looked at Kaze as if he was a criminal. Dove n
“Yes, Madam.” The hotel staff bowed and brought over a clean wine glass. “Don’t just stand there. Step down!” Dove glared at the woman and commanded condescendingly. The fierce attitude made May frown but she did not say anything since Dove was the security supervisor of the family. No matter how bad Dove’s temper was, she was still a Frost and given the circumstances, trusting her was a better choice than trusting an outsider. After the hotel staff left, Dove pulled out a vial and carefully poured the amber liquid into the glass. An irresistible fragrance of alcohol filled the air. Even Snow and Bass, who were not drinkers, gulped nervously. “Dove, what is this?” May asked curiously. Dove smiled and explained, “This is the poison we retrieved from the extended family in East River. This is what poisoned him to death.” Everyone got nervous and quickly held their breath. “Hahaha, don’t worry. You don’t die by just smelling it,” Dove explained with a hearty laugh.
“H-Help me!” Dove fell to the floor and sent a desperate plea to May and the others. Then, Kaze looked at the entrance and said, “It’s about time you do something, or she’ll die.” Everyone immediately turned to the entrance and saw the hotel staff who Dove scolded earlier. She walked in casually. “Is she Venom Kanon?” May and Bass widened their eyes in disbelief. The hotel staff looked average in every aspect; her looks, her service, and even her presence. She had been serving them for half an hour yet none of them noticed anything unusual. If not for her frosty look contrasted with her image of a weak and timid worker from earlier, no one would have expected it. “That’s right. It’s her.” Kaze nodded with praise. Venom was good at what she did, especially in disguise. When he saw the lady earlier, there was a brief moment when he could not recognize her. “She can suffer for another 30 seconds. It won’t kill her,” Venom said after she glanced at Dove. She then
