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
“Madam, please tell Bass to take him down! He was trying to kill me! He’s trying to hurt the Frost family!” After catching her breath, Dove got up from the floor and pointed at Kaze furiously. Her eyes were vengeful. She thought she was really going to die. Kaze looked at Dove like she was an idiot. He said to May, “Mrs. Frost, if I were you, I’d fire her. If you let someone as stupid as she is as your security supervisor, it will only endanger your family.” He was speechless at Dove’s reaction. He was the one who brought Venom in to save Dove’s life, yet Dove did not appreciate the gesture and wanted him dead. “You bastard! How dare you say that!” Dove screamed. Slap! Suddenly, Snow went up to Dove and slapped her in the face. Dove covered her face blankly. “Snow, y-you…” Snow might be aloof but back home, she treated everyone with care and respect and had never flaunted her superiority. Yet she slapped Dove because of Kaze. “If you continue to disrespect Mr. L
“No need for money?” May widened her eyes in disbelief. “How could it be free?” She refused to believe that Venom’s protection cost nothing. “Believe it if it’s from me.” Kaze smiled and confidently explained, “My favor is worth more than gold.” May felt complicated looking at Kaze’s confident look. The Frost family was not capable of contacting, let alone meeting, the assassins on the leaderboard, yet Kaze could bring the No. 2 forward with just one call. On top of that, he even requested Venom to protect the Frost family 24/7 without taking a dime. Who exactly was Kaze Lee? Kaze put his smile away and said, “Mrs. Frost, now that I’ve brought Venom here to protect your family, I don’t think you need to request help from the Krad family anymore and it’s not necessary to marry Snow to Aaron.” May’s expression turned pale. Before this, in order to overcome the family crisis, she had to make her daughter marry Aaron. Now that Kaze single-handedly solved the problem
Snow had been the one running Perfect World Group all along and doing a great job at that. If Snow had to leave, then Kaze would be the first to object. Even May, who was vastly experienced, was shocked by Kaze’s generosity. “You’re making Snow the chairwoman, holding the reins of Perfect World Group? Aren’t you afraid that she will have you abdicated one day?” It was common for the board of a company to kick out the founder or chairman through a unanimous vote. Kaze was putting Snow in charge of the whole company, making her the strongest person in Perfect World Group. May could not figure out what fueled Kaze’s confidence. Kaze looked at Snow and smiled. “Mrs. Frost, if I can’t trust your daughter completely, then I doubt there’s anyone else in this world I’d ever trust.” Snow had been with him for a long time and he knew her feelings. “Mr. Lee, you are making me chairwoman?” Snow never thought Kaze would assign such an important role to her. Kaze smiled and ask
