“Stop talking nonsense! You think Kaze is interested in what little we have?” Lock’s expression turned grim. He said strongly, “I have decided. I am managing the company now, don’t I have the right to make decisions?” “You have no right to ruin the company!” Ryna pointed at Lock and shouted, “I know what you are trying to do. You just want to go against me.” As the argument heated up, Kaze sighed and stood up. “Mr. Yemen, Mrs. Yemen, calm down. I’m not joining your company…” “Stop trying to pretend to be a saint here!” Ryna pointed at Kaze, shouting. “Lock must have convinced you. Are you his illegitimate son?!” Kaze was stunned. How did he become his teacher’s illegitimate son all of a sudden? Ryna got so carried away by her emotions that she started spewing nonsense. Cyan was aware of the severity of the situation and if she continued to stay away, her parents might really get a divorce. She stepped in and said, “Dad, Mom, stop it. You guys just want Kaze to get
If Cyan did not intervene, her parents would continue to argue to the point of divorce, so she was forced to shoulder the burden. Lock did not say anything. Golden Scale Corporation was one of the biggest companies in Riverbank. If his own company was a little convenience store, then Golden Scale Corporation would be a hypermarket with chain stores. If Kaze could get a job there, it would be much more promising than working in Lock’s tiny company and it would also guarantee his future. “Hmph. He got lucky.” Ryna grunted and then looked at Kaze condescendingly. “You better thank Cyan. If not for her, you won’t even get close to Golden Scale Corporation for the rest of your life.” Although Kaze inevitably got Cyan’s help, it was better than him joining Lock’s company. In addition, Ryna finally made peace with her thoughts. Golden Scale Corporation had countless experts and elites that outshone even Wesley. Once Cyan got into the company and had the opportunity to meet
Lock’s lips moved but he said nothing except for a helpless sigh. He knew what his daughter was up to but since she made it clear, he did not want to give her a hard time. He could not ask her to lower her standards because it would mean that he looked down on Kaze too. Speaking against Cyan’s terms would mean that he believed Kaze could not make ten million per year in two years. “Okay. I’ll go have a look later,” Kaze said. He did not want to waste time with the mother and daughter. He also could not tell Cyan that the reason why she got the offer from Golden Scale Corporation was because of himself. Revealing the truth would only attract more hatred and they would criticize him even more. Meaningless. If he rejected Cyan’s suggestion, the whole family would argue again. Since Kaze planned to visit the company soon, he might as well play along. Golden Scale Corporation belonged to the West State Viper’s Den but after Magnus died, other branches started to infiltrate
“Is it urgent? Want me to give you a ride?” Lock said as he put down the teapot. “It’s okay, Mr. Yemen. They are sending a car to pick me up,” Kaze said before he walked out of the door. “Hmph! He’s just calling a ride but he has to act like someone is here to pick him up, like he’s some big shot.” Ryna grumbled after Kaze left. She felt uncomfortable with Kaze in the house. Now that Kaze had left, the air felt fresher. …Kaze went downstairs and waited for Hamlin at the entrance of the neighborhood. In less than a cigarette’s time, a black Audi with the car plate ‘Riverbank 00001’ arrived before him. “Mr. Lee.” Hamlin came down and opened the door for him. Kaze glanced at Hamlin’s messy hair and the claw marks on his face. He nodded and got into the car. “What happened to you?” After the car drove off, Kaze asked curiously. As the mayor’s driver, Hamlin always had to make sure his image was presentable, decent at least. Yet he looked like he just fought a
“We’ll see when I see her,” Kaze said. It was better to determine with his eyes than speculate with thoughts. “Is the mayor okay?” he asked. Last night, he did not reveal that the curse on Myra was probably targeted at Kent. There were multiple attempts on Kent’s life before this and he even got cursed recently, which almost succeeded if it had not been for Kaze. Now that Kent was aware that someone was after his life, using his daughter to deliver an unexpected strike was completely possible. Of course, it might be entirely about something else either. Regardless, be it Kent or Myra, both of them were cursed almost at the same time, which meant that the mastermind had been planning this for a long time. Hamlin gulped nervously. “It’s such a coincidence that you broke Cole’s arms yesterday. He came back to us and cried to Mr. Synder, asking him to avenge him. “So in order to give Myra some peace and quiet time, Mr. Synder went downstairs to the living room and he did
Kent and Jane were behind the bodyguards. Their eyes teared up and their faces pale. “Don’t use the tranquilizers, don’t hurt Myra! She will stop when she gets tired!” Kent said anxiously as he hugged his exhausted wife. The tranquilizers required skills to fire and a little mistake could inflict irreversible damage on the target. Even though Kent had no idea what caused his daughter to behave like a beast, he did not want to hurt her unless absolutely necessary. “Mr. Synder, Mr. Lee is here!” Hamlin quickly ran over. “Kaze!” Kent looked at Kaze before tapping on Jane’s shoulder, calming her down. He then let go of her and went up to Kaze. He said softly, “Kaze, I was sorry about last night. I should have trusted you. Like you said, Myra is on a rampage right now.” He looked guilty as he apologized. He deeply regretted dismissing Kaze last night. Kaze said Myra was cursed and the curse might be lethal, yet no one believed him. This morning, when Myra entered the t
In other words, no matter what kind of trouble Kaze got into, Kent would vouch for him and even protect him with his life and career. If news about this got out, many people would be jealous of Kaze. After all, in Riverbank, the mayor’s authority and power were only second to the South River State Governor. The slightest favor from the mayor was considered a lifetime worth of benefits for an ordinary person. “Why would I want your life for, Mr. Synder?” Kaze smiled vaguely. The mayor of Riverbank might be a prominent figure that people admired but it was nothing to Kaze. However, with Kent’s promise and help, Kaze could do things a lot more easily in Riverbank. “Come on, let’s go have a look at Myra first.” Kaze gestured at Kent, telling him to lead the way. “This way!” Kent took a deep breath and then brought Kaze into the house. When they entered the living room, they saw the elf-like girl in her pajamas and messy hair. The pure and innocent demeanor that she us
“Mr. Lee, Mrs. Synder is a religious Christian and a loyal patron of St. John Church. When she realized Professor Wilson couldn’t cure Myra, she contacted the church and asked for Pastor Angelo’s help.” Hamlin was worried that Kaze might misunderstand, so he quickly explained to Kaze softly. Kent did not disagree with inviting Pastor Angelo over because he could not be sure if Kaze would agree to help. Even if Kaze agreed, he might not be able to fully cure Myra. Pastor Angelo was different. He was a reputable clergyman in Riverbank and all of West State; many people had faith in him. If Myra was cursed like Kaze said, then inviting Pastor Angelo over might be the more suitable choice. Kaze nodded and did not say anything. It was understandable that the Synder family wanted more options to save their daughter. “Pastor Angelo, please save my daughter! If you can save Myra, I will donate to your church and support any kind of reconstruction!” Jane was behind Pastor Angelo
