Rose was disappointed in Zenika when she was asked to apologize. “I did nothing wrong! Why should I apologize? “You want Kaze to kneel and apologize? No. Luis doesn’t have the right to do that!” Zenika widened her eyes in shock when the words entered her ears. She anxiously said, “You… What are you talking about?” “No right?” Luis learned about Kaze’s background from his followers and his frosty eyes were fixated on him. He scoffed. “You are just some random guy from Lilyrose and you said I don’t have the right to make you kneel and apologize? Is that a joke?” His voice sounded sinister. It was obvious that Rose’s bold words angered him. As the young master of the Presleys, Luis was wealthy and powerful. People might not even get the chance to kneel before him. Yet Rose embarrassed him in front of his followers. “Kaze, don’t just stand there! On your knees and kowtow to Luis!” Zenika bellowed as she shot a fierce glance at him. “Rose is still young but you are an ad
The followers were stunned for a moment before they realized they had spoken the wrong words, allowing Kaze to seize the chance to humiliate Luis even more. One of the followers flushed with anger and shouted at Kaze. “You fuck…” Slap! Luis turned around and slapped the man to the floor. “Idiot! Isn’t it not embarrassing enough?” he shouted angrily. He really wanted to strangle the idiot with his own hands. He turned back to Kaze and said with a sinister tone, “So, you are Rose’s cousin-in-law, right? This is Bronze Sparrow, a place for the upper circle to gather and have fun, not a place that you can trespass, you lowlife! “You talk big in front of us but other than making yourself look like a fool, it doesn’t do anything at all. “In our circle, you have to compare power, background, connections, and resources to crush one another. If you have the confidence to beat me, show me what you got; if no, get down on your knees! “Don’t try to fool and bluff us with your l
Zenika wanted Rose to understand that the man whom she insisted on protecting would rather bluff and brag than care about her future, or life and death. Slap! Kaze looked at Zenika coldly before he threw a slap at the other side of her face. Now she got two slaps on both her cheeks, which made them even. “Aaaaah!” Zenika cried in shock with her hand covering her face. She looked at Kaze in disbelief and shrieked, “Kaze Lee! How dare you slap me!? I’ll kill you!” She never would have thought that the timid and quiet Kaze would slap her in front of the guests. Eunice was different because she was the manager of Bronze Sparrow, yet Kaze was nothing. Kaze said, “You can say whatever you want about me but you should not have tried to sabotage our relationship. Get it? Who gave you the confidence to think that Rose would believe what you say?” He never wanted to talk to the woman but she kept challenging and insulting him, so he had to fight back. “You piece of shit!” Z
Kaze spoke calmly but with absolute certainty.Everyone had a strange feeling that he might be able to pull it off because he sounded powerful and confident. “You? You and what army?” Luis scoffed. “You think this is a novel or a drama series? Do you think you can shut down whatever you want or oppress whatever you want…” “Listen up. Two things.” Again, before Luis could finish, Kaze stopped him once more. He had his phone in his hand and already dialed Collier’s number. “One, I heard the Presleys have a strong influence in the art field and their companies are big. I don’t care what you do, but acquire whatever you can to oppress them. I want to see the Presley family’s businesses under the company’s name in the shortest time possible. “Second, my cousin-in-law, Rose, is going to be an artist and I have her back. If anyone targets her, you’re in charge—no need to go through me.” After that, Kaze hung up the phone. He then patted Rose’s head again. “Don’t worry, Rose.
Influence was not the power of the word, it required the precipitation of time. The Presleys ran their businesses for a few decades and had a strong influence in the art field in Riverbank. Yet Kaze claimed that one call from him and he could oppress the Presleys’ influence and acquire their family company. He must have assumed everyone in the room were idiots and amateurs. With everyone sneering at him, Kaze nonchalantly said, “Oppressing the Presleys isn’t that big of a deal. I don’t need Kent to do it, I can just order Collier to do the job. He’s my dog after all.” The room was silenced once again. Collier Ettinger? The Collier Ettinger who teamed up with Hannah Delmore to defeat the vice chief of the Viper’s Den South River Branch, Josiah Dubb, and took control of Golden Scale Corporation? The one who held the same rank as Buffy? When Newell was still around, Collier’s status was higher than Buffy’s because his father was the chief of the Viper’s Den South River B
The coincidence was uncanny. Kaze made a phone call and ordered Collier to acquire and oppress the Presleys’ businesses. The next thing that happened was that the biggest entertainment company of the Presley family, Primeval Inc. got raided and Luis’ uncle was forced and threatened to sell the company. If it was true, who exactly was Kaze Lee? How powerful was his background that he was able to order Collier, a prominent figure in Golden Scale Corporation and Viper’s Den, like a dog? With that in mind, Luis’ legs started to turn weak and his stomach started to hurt. “W-Who are you?” he asked after he gulped nervously. His eyes fixated on Kaze. Kaze smiled. “You are not qualified to know who I am.” He was quite happy with Collier’s efficiency. As a lapdog, Collier worked perfectly. He might come across as a bit unrefined and rough but he was able to deliver the results in the shortest time possible. Looking at Kaze’s mysterious appearance, Luis had goosebumps all over
“Punching bag? Everyone here can have one slap?” Kaze narrowed his eyes on Luis. “You said it?” “Yeah, I fucking said it!” Luis went up to Kaze with his cigar hanging in his mouth. He spat a cloud of smoke at his face and grinned. “Kaze Lee, you think Bronze Sparrow is a place for a little shit like you? I’m telling you, you don’t even have the right to breathe in the same room as us! “Your existence here contaminated our air and it is a grave mistake! Now it’s time for your punishment. You better kneel and straighten your back! Get it?” Luis raised his hand impatiently. “If you understand me, get down now! I don’t want to repeat myself! “Who else wants to slap this little shit?” Kaze looked at the young men and women around him. “Me!” “Luis is right! You little shit is not qualified to be with us here! I don’t like you!” “You even acted like you were some big shot! Who gave you the balls?” “You should be honored that we let you be our punching bag!” … More
“You said you wanted a slap?” Kaze threw a reverse slap at another young woman beside him, slapping her makeup off. “And you.” The young woman was stunned as she never thought Kaze had the nerve to slap her. “Aaaaagh! You slapped me? You slapped a woman? You are a piece of shit! I will kill you and your family…” Slap! Kaze slapped her once more, sending her to the floor. “Seems like I held back.” He shook his head and then moved on to the next without looking at his victims. Slap! “Punching bag?” Slap! “One slap each?” Slap! “Everyone can slap?” Kaze shuttled around the crowd and slapped everyone who said they wanted to slap him earlier. “That fucker slapped us!” “He’s out of his mind!” “Call the police and shoot him!” “Shoot him a hundred times!” …The entire fifth floor was filled with agonizing cries and screams for a while. Zenika, Wesley, and those who did not get slaps were stunned on the spot, petrified as they watched Kaze slap everyon
