“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
Cole took a few more puffs from his cigar. Even the clouds of smoke failed to shield his smirks at Kaze. He saw a frosty glare from Kaze but it did not bother him. “Punk, do as you are told. I am sure that if you wait until Cole makes you do it, you will suffer badly.” The woman who Cole hugged earlier came over to curl her arms around his arm and mocked Kaze. The thugs stared at Kaze with a ferocious grin, their eyes had nothing but contempt. They thought Kaze was someone powerful, which explained his confidence in defying Cole, but it turned out that he was just an idiot from a small city. With Cole’s status and position, even though he was not the strongest in Riverbank, he had dealt with many arrogant playboys who crossed his path. All of them looked down at him for just being the mayor’s nephew but in the end, they all got down on their knees and begged for mercy. To be honest, Kaze was nothing compared to those arrogant playboys. With Cole’s power, he could step
Everyone was stunned. No one thought Kaze would hit Cole under such circumstances, and he did not hold back at all. Cole’s woman and the thugs were all petrified, their eyes widened in disbelief. It was the first time they saw someone had the nerves to go up against Cole in Riverbank, let alone one-sidedly beat him up. Everyone knew Cole as the nephew of the mayor. Even the gangsters of the underworld would bow and smile to him when they learned of his identity. Every gangster would try to curry favor with him. Offending Cole would mean total annihilation, regardless of how big or powerful the gang was. It was foolish for the ordinary to go up against the authority. No matter how powerful the gangster boss was, he was no match for the police officers from the police department. The sultry woman was petrified. She covered her mouth in disbelief and her body was shaking. Kaze was on a spree and would not just stop after a kick. He grabbed Cole by the hair and slappe
