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
Kaze ignored Cole. He looked at Pastor Angelo and said, “Pastor, why don’t we have a test? Let’s see if your religion can save Myra, or if my murderous intent can bring her back from hell.” Usually, he never bothered to reply to mocking or sarcasm but Pastor Angelo pointed out that he was in hell with just a few glances—physically here, but mentally in hell. It meant that Pastor Angelo was not trying to mock or insult Kaze but he did see intense murderous intent in him. Kaze knew exactly what caused this condition. Killing one man would be a crime; killing ten thousand would be a monster. Killing nine million would be the monster of all monsters. Back on the foreign battlefield, tens of millions of lives perished in his hands. It was not exaggerating to call Kaze the embodiment of hell. He knew Pastor Angelo was not a fraudulent charlatan like Dr. Raph Tyson and was a man with true capabilities, so he decided to challenge him. Yet when the others heard him, they felt
Even Cole, an unbridled playboy, felt the power of the chants. He felt goosebumps and even had the urge to kneel. Pastor Angelo was indeed powerful. His chants filled the living room instantly. “That’s some powerful hypnosis technique. Is this the secret hypnosis practiced by the church?” Professor Wilson, who got beaten up earlier, finally recovered and came to the scene. He stood behind the group and watched Pastor Angelo work in admiration and awe. He might not understand the chants but as a professor with high achievements in psychology, he too had the urge to kneel. The strongest and most effective form of hypnosis would be religion. A religion had the most number of followers compared to any other psychologist. Even the most powerful politician, the richest man in the world, or even the most vicious criminals had their own beliefs in religion. Professor Wilson used to study different religions and had a decent understanding of Christianity. He knew the church
Upon hearing Kaze, Hamlin’s expression shifted a little. Kent’s heartfelt smile faded and his brows furrowed. “Hmph…” Cole wanted to continue mocking Kaze but then a frosty voice interrupted him. “Old man, you’re dead!” Everyone was shocked by the cold and hoarse voice because it came from Myra, who looked calm and peaceful a moment ago. Myra spoke, but the voice from her mouth did not belong to her. It sounded rough and demonic. It felt like something vile and filthy was inside the girl’s pure and innocent body. “Myra…” Kent and Jane were horrified. Despite looking at the familiar face, their daughter felt like a total stranger to them. Under everyone’s horrified gazes, Myra lifted her foot and took a step forward, seemingly trying to approach Pastor Angelo. “Protect the pastor!” The clergies quickly surrounded the pastor. “Stand down!” Pastor Angelo bellowed all of a sudden. Shocked, the clergies reluctantly stepped away. Pastor Angelo stepped forward an
“Myra, no!” Kent and Jane cried in shock. They knew if Myra killed Pastor Angelo, the girl would also lose her life. “Old man, even if you are compassionate, you shouldn’t really do this, risking your life and such.” As the knife swung down at Pastor Angelo, a strong hand extended from behind and grabbed the pastor by the back of his collar. He was then dragged backward and tossed to the couch, like how Kaze saved Kent earlier. Kaze finally intervened. “You!” The clergies reacted with anger but swiftly realized Kaze was saving the pastor. However, they disapproved of his rough method. Ignoring the horrified crowd, Kaze looked at Myra who swung the knife at him. He took a quick deep breath and shouted, “OUT!” Everyone else in the room was shocked. What did he just do? Myra was swinging the knife at him, yet he shouted at Myra. Myra did not even hold back when it came to the clergies or the bodyguards, and she even tried to kill Pastor Angelo. What gave Kaze t
“What the…” “Is Kaze Lee that terrifying?” “Impossible! He is just a charlatan, a liar! How could he be more powerful than Pastor Angelo?” Cole fell on his butt and cried like a wimpy boy. He never would have thought that Myra, who almost killed Pastor Angelo, would run away like a terrified little girl in front of Kaze. It sounded ridiculous. Kent was baffled as well. Even though he knew Kaze was capable of solving this matter because he saved his life back on the train, it was still unbelievable that one shout was all it took for him to scare Myra away. “Holy shit, is he the real God or what?” Professor Wilson widened his eyes in shock as well. He looked down on Kaze earlier because of the misleading first impression and how he argued with a professional like himself. He urged Kent to send Kaze away last night. Now, after getting hurt by Myra, he was looking miserable and did not do anything useful. On the other hand, Kaze simply shouted and seemed to have sol
Fwoosh! The quiet bushes suddenly rattled loudly and a dark and scrawny figure jumped out, running toward the tall walls at lightning speed. The dark figure might be fast but Kaze was faster. He tiptoed and then boosted himself into the air. He appeared behind the dark figure like a phantom and then punched him to the ground. Bang! The dark figure almost reached the top of the wall but was punched back to the ground. He left a deep crater when he crashed and blood spewed from his mouth. “Fuck! How dare you ruin the plan of the Ninja Clan! No matter who you are, you are already a dead man!” The dark figure got up and shouted at Kaze. The eyes that he did not cover up gleamed coldly. “So you are from Ryokan.” Kaze asked coldly, “Ninja Clan? Can you represent the whole Ninja Clan of Ryokan? Not even Daiso Kailan whom I killed had the nerve to make that claim.” The ninjas of Ryokan, also generally known as the Ninja Clan, had more than a hundred branches. The dark fig
