High-end villa compounds like Wyomspring had a strict no-delivery policy. Like the Yemens, the manager believed Kaze snuck into the place for no good reason. Wyomspring was an affluent neighborhood, and its residents were important people. The manager might lose his job and the chance to befriend these VIPs if Kaze were to upset the residents. Furrowing his brows, Kaze said indifferently, “I’m the owner of Villa No. 1.” “You’re the owner?” The manager ran his eyes on Kaze and clicked his tongue in disdain. “You? Do you know the value of Villa No. 1? “I doubt you can ever make that kind of money.” With an exclusive clientele to serve, the manager developed a sense of superiority over ordinary people. The way he saw it, Kaze’s get-up was not even as valuable as his work uniform. Kaze was too poor to be the owner of Villa No. 1. Besides, the manager overheard the Yemens’ conversation with Kaze. He was sure Kaze was bluffing. “Let me be straight with you, boy. This
Kaze looked grim. “I said don’t—” “Fine. Don’t say I didn’t give you a choice.” Fig cut Kaze off and rubbed his swollen cheeks. He said with a smirk, “Get him! Get this bastard out of here!” He wanted to get even with Kaze. “Swoosh!” The security officers pounced on Kaze. The villa district’s security detail, composed entirely of retired special forces, was renowned for their prowess. Still, they were no match for Kaze.“Thud! Smack! Pow!” As grunts and groans filled the air, the security officers sprawled across the floor. Kaze had gone easier on them since they did not know the truth. Otherwise, the security guards would be left with broken bones. “Um…” Fig and several other staff members were dumbfounded, their jaws dropping at the unexpected resistance. “So you can fight.” The villa compound was home to many influential figures with their own hired protection. Fig had seen it all, so he quickly pulled himself together. He took a couple of steps back bef
The few property management personnel behind Fig were dumbfounded. As the Yemens mocked Kaze moments ago, they did not think he was someone important. They took Kaze’s claim about owning Villa No. 1 through Kent as a joke. It turned out to be real. “M-Mr. Lorde, surely this is a mistake. This guy disguised as a deliveryman to get in. “I saw the Yemens dressing him down. Even his mentor did not believe he was the owner of the villa. “You must have gotten it wrong. “Everybody in the city knows that Villa No. 1 belongs to Mayor Synder. He wouldn’t give the villa to a nobody.” Fig drew close and said in a trembling voice while yanking Maurice’s arm. He would rather believe the whole thing was bogus.If Kaze was the owner, Fig would be done for after what he said and did to Kaze. “Smack!” Maurice slapped Fig and shouted with his finger pointed at Hamlin, “Take a good look. Mr. Corner, who is Mayor Synder’s chauffeur, is right behind me. “He dropped Mr. Lee off here
Feeling perked up, Kaze said with a smile, “I’ve been busy since I got here, Rose. Let it out. What are you craving? Where do you want to explore? I’ll take you as an apology.” Through spending time together, Kaze picked up a few things about handling Rose.“That’s more like it.” Rose scoffed proudly and said, “Since you wised up, I will report back to Darcy that you’ve been good and keeping it in your pants.” “I’ve always been keeping it in my pants.” Kaze was lost for words. Rose was getting cheeky, even trying to pull a fast one on him. “Hehe. How could I possibly know without inspection?” Rose said, “Here’s the thing. I want to attend a get-together tonight, and you’re coming with me. I know a lot of pretty ladies will be there. It’s time to put your self-control to the test.” “A lot of pretty ladies?” Kaze grinned. “They aren’t as pretty as you even with their beauty combined.” On the other end of the line, Rose pouted. Kaze sure was a smooth talker. “Just sa
Zenika was originally looking forward to meeting Kaze. She wanted to meet someone who could afford to live in Wyomspring. However, when she found out that he was just a security guard, she lost interest and did not even bother to spare an extra glance. “Rose, are you sure you want to bring him along? You know there are rich young masters and missus at tonight’s gathering right? They are all famous in Riverbank, like Wesley Gwake of Golden Scale Corporation and Buffy Gwake, the daughter of the vice chief of Viper’s Den South River Branch. “More importantly, Luis Presley is also going to be there. He liked you a lot, yet you want to bring this guy along? I don’t think he can fit well in that environment,” Zenika said indifferently. Zenika’s family, the Sandisks, were close with Rose’s family and their parents always hung out together. Rose was going to college soon, which would be a society of its own. Agatha knew her naïve and kind daughter well enough to worry that the gi
Zenika was expressionless, she did not even spare a glance at Kaze. She asked Rose again, “Rose, are you really bringing him along? Think this through. Those attending the gathering tonight are rich young masters and missus. “Do you know what you should do? You should get to know them and mingle with them. It will help you with your future. “Your cousin’s husband isn’t in the same world with them. Going to Bronze Sparrow like that will only embarrass us and him. He’s like the security guard there! “If he does something embarrassing, you will also be affected. Are you sure about this?” Kaze raised his brows but did not say a word. Had he not known about Zenika’s relationship with Rose’s family, he would have slapped her and taught her some manners. Rose tightened her grip on Kaze’s arm. He smiled and said, “Zenika, you must have misunderstood something. Kaze is an easy-going person and he will never cause problems. Besides my cousin, Darcy, also wants me to take care of him
On second thought, Zenika believed once Kaze arrived at Bronze Sparrow and witnessed its glamor, he would not be able to speak so boldly anymore. A mere security guard should not be a threat to her plan to get Rose and Luis together tonight. With that thought, Zenika smiled with relief and waited for Rose to get into the car before driving off. Rose was in the passenger’s seat. She turned around and curiously asked, “Kaze, you are staying at Wyomspring? Which unit? Is it big? Can I get a room there so that I can keep an eye on you? My parents and uncles are nagging me day and night, I can’t take it anymore.” The girl knew what Kaze was capable of. He might not have spent hundreds of millions to buy a villa but if he had a friend who was rich and gave him a place to stay, it was completely understandable. “Sure. I’m living in the first unit. I’ll tell them to prepare a room for you,” Kaze said heartily. He found it too quiet to live in a big house alone. Zenika could not
Zenika did not notice the nonchalance in Kaze’s expression. She simply assumed he was feeling ashamed and it instantly fueled her sense of superiority. “Kaze, do you know how much it costs to get a glass of water here? At least a hundred. But you don’t have to worry because Ms. Gwake got us covered for the night. “Have you heard of Buffy Gwake? The daughter of the vice chief of Viper’s Den South River Branch, Jude Gwake. Today’s gathering is her birthday party and I am her good friend, so I got invited. “All the guests tonight are the rich and powerful people of Riverbank and famous artists from the art and creative field. Once Rose gets into art school, these connections will benefit her. “So, you better behave when you get in there and don’t do anything stupid or say anything dumb. The people that you offend might be the young master or daughter of some big families or companies in Riverbank. Get it?” Zenika warned Kaze as if she was concerned about his own safety. “Kaze…
