Nevertheless, Cole was still alarmed by Kaze’s presence. He could not accept that Kaze simply laid his hands on Myra using the excuse of checking on her condition. His cousin was the subject of his sexual fantasy. First of all, Myra was adopted and she was not related to him by blood. He was so obsessed with her looks and body that his view of her started to get twisted. Even while he slept with other women, he would fantasize about her. More importantly, if he married Myra, he could inherit all the resources and wealth from Kent and no longer have to work hard in this lifetime. Therefore, he could not accept Kaze laying his fingers on Myra. “I have to find a way to remove him once and for all.” Cole narrowed his eyes. He walked to the corner and started texting. …“Mr. Lee, the mayor wants me to apologize on his behalf. You are here to help and he appreciates your gesture, but Myra’s condition is their priority now. As a parent, Mr. Synder didn’t want to give up o
Another voice message followed after the video. This time, it was Ryna’s voice. “What’s wrong, feel bad? I’m telling you, we are going to use all the herbs you give us and you can’t do anything about it! Hahaha, tens of millions worth of foot spa, not even the rich and powerful can live our life now…” Kaze sighed at Ryna’s provocation. He replied helplessly, “As long as you are happy.” Ryna sent several more voice messages to provoke Kaze but he was smart enough to ignore all of them. Meanwhile, at the Yemens’ family home, Ryna was annoyed that she did not get a reply. “Lock, is this how your student should behave? He’s not replying. Where are his manners?” Ryna was so annoyed that she did not get a reply. She tossed the phone to the side and complained to Lock. She was hinting at her husband to not accept Kaze, and it was best for him to cut all ties. Lock helplessly said, “If you want respect, you should learn how to respect others first. You are just being petty.”
“Cyan, my daughter Nadia just got a boyfriend. The guy just returned from studying abroad and his family gave him fifty million as a startup fund. “His startup is on the rise and he even gave Nadia a company for her to manage. I already take him as my future son-in-law. He said Nadia can do whatever she wants with the company and he can take care of the rest. “It’s not easy for Nadia to find such a rich and kind boyfriend. We as parents do not need to worry about her anymore.” Claudia sounded proud when she bragged about her daughter’s boyfriend, her lips were so wide that the corners almost touched her ears. Cyan looked slightly jealous. “Oh ya, I saw Nadia’s post the other day and she received a company from her boyfriend. She is also famous on social media.” Wesley was also trying to pursue her by giving her gifts but not to the point of gifting a whole company. Claudia said happily, “Really? I heard from our other neighbor that you are also an influencer right? I heard
Heath had a bloated figure and when he smiled at Lock, it made him look amusing. “Lock, my future son-in-law went on a business trip a while back and got a hundred million investment. He brought some wild ginseng from Mt. White back for me. “It’s considered the highest grade and can cost up to a million. I made some liquor with it, so I thought of bringing it over to have a drink with you.” Ryna was speechless when they heard Heath, their eyelids twitching. Before Heath revealed the price of the ginseng, she wanted to say the ginseng liquor was nothing because Wesley gave her the blood bird’s nest that cost two hundred thousand a piece. However, when she learned of the price, she felt embarrassed and was smart enough not to speak about it. Lock instantly understood that Heath came over to his house just to show off the ginseng liquor. He said indifferently, “Wild ginseng that cost a million? Are you kidding me? Heath, you deal in herbs, I hope you are right about this. If i
“Lock, you used these herbs for foot spa?! What a damn waste! You ungrateful bastard!” Heath shouted at Lock, expressing his grievance. His eyes were burning with the flames of rage, wishing that he could tear Lock apart. Everyone else was stunned, including Lock. “Are the herbs that I used expensive?” Ryna was not stupid. Based on Heath’s reaction, she realized something and her eyes had been fixated on him since. Even Cyan started to breathe hurriedly. “Expensive?” Heath scoffed angrily. He shouted, “The herbs in your stupid massage pail cost at least ten million! “You dumb idiot, you mindless bastard! Did you rob a bank? Not even the rich and powerful are so wasteful. What is wrong with you?” He was deeply agitated. He bragged about his ginseng liquor but Lock used tens of millions of herbs as ingredients for a foot spa. The liquor that he drank was not even one-tenth of the herbal solution that Lock used to soak his feet. Of course, he was annoyed and mad.
“Lock, why don’t you call Kaze again and ask if there are more of the valuable herbs? “If there’s more, ask for it. Just tell him to bring them to you as a token of respect. “Did you see Heath’s reaction just now? If we can give the herbs away to the rich and powerful, we can get ourselves a lot of connections and resources!” Ryna stared at her husband with widened eyes filled with anticipation. Lock’s expression stiffened. “Nonsense! I will not do such a shameless thing! I used to be a teacher and I… Hey! What are you doing?!” Before he could finish, Ryna snatched his phone away and called Kaze directly. “Mr. Yemen, what is it? It’s late already.” Kaze’s voice came from the phone when the call got through. He was still in Conan’s car going back to the hotel when he received the call. If it was from Ryna or Cyan, he would not answer the call but the caller ID showed Lock’s number, so he answered it. “Kaze, hi. It’s me, Ryna. I want to ask if you still have those her
A thug with a baseball bat in his hand pointed at Conan, threatening him. “Put it away,” Kaze said indifferently. He then looked at the thug and asked, “Who are you guys?” Conan put his phone away immediately. His men were capable enough to deal with the thugs. In other words, they did not pose a threat to Kaze. “You will find out real soon.” The thug glanced at Kaze and then took his phone out. “Mr. Libra, we got the punk here in the parking lot of the five-star hotel.” “Great. Nicely done. I’m on my way! Keep him busy! I want to teach him a lesson that he will not forget. I want him to know who he can mess with and who he cannot. “After tonight, I want him to be terrified of Cole Libra for the rest of his life!” A few minutes later, a Mercedes drove into the parking lot, drifting to a stop in front of Kaze and the other thugs. Then, several more jeeps followed in through the entrance. A dozen more thugs came down from the jeeps and some of them even had a female
“That’s because you are shallow-minded, but now you should have seen it.” Kaze remained composed and leaned back against the car despite being mocked by Cole. “Shallow-minded?” Cole laughed but it felt strange and cold. People who knew him better knew that whenever he cackled, someone would have to suffer. Cole might not be the young master or wealthy lord of a big family but since his uncle was the mayor of Riverbank, possessing the authority and power of a vice governor, he acted arrogantly and always disrespected people. He was afraid of no one in Riverbank. “Kaze Lee, you think too highly of yourself.” Cole took a deep puff from his cigar as he stared at Kaze as if he was a dead person. “You really think because you saved my uncle’s life you can act like a fool before me? Yeah, my uncle appreciates your help and values you, he thinks you are some disciple of a grandmaster. “But we checked your background. You are just a live-in son-in-law who got kicked out, you
