“Kaze…” Rose called out to him with a sobbing tone, her face pale. Even she was surprised that Kaze offended so many people including Luis, and it seemed like a reckless move. With all the young masters and missus teamed up, they could probably move half the city. Rose plunged into endless regret and self-blame. She should not have brought Kaze over to protect her. “Don’t worry.” Kaze came over and tapped the girl’s shoulder. “They are just a bunch of useless youngsters. In fact, they won’t be able to make me lose even a strand of hair, let alone crush me.” The hall fell silent again before endless shouts and curses could be heard. “He is arrogant! He is too arrogant! Someone get him!” “He must be killed, or else I can’t rest for the rest of my life!” “Who does he think he is, looking down on us!” The youngsters were furious. Being looked down upon by a bumpkin from a small city felt even more terrible than killing them. “Quiet! If I, Luis Presley, don’t crush
“Ms. Gwake, I heard something happened at Golden Scale Corporation. Is everything okay?” “Yeah. If you are busy, go ahead. Don’t worry about us. Business is business.” As Buffy entered the hall, the guests went up to her ingratiatingly. Buffy smiled and casually said, “Don’t worry. It’s just a little problem. If it’s serious, I won’t be here talking to everyone either.” Judging from her confident reply, the guests believed the operation at Golden Scale Corporation was nothing to Buffy. “Yeah. I knew it. After Collier’s father died, he became a clown. How can he challenge the Gwake family?” “Yeah. Ms. Gwake doesn’t need to be worried at all. Her men can deal with it easily.” The guests continued to flatter her. Buffy smiled but when she had a better look at all the guests, she saw something strange on their faces that made her raise her brows. She saw slap marks on everyone’s faces that did not seem to come from a game or a prank. Judging from the grievance in their
Buffy’s background was much more powerful. Besides, the rumor about her being fancied by one of the Riverbank Seven, Casius Weather, was enough to scare people away. After all, only the top seven young men, possessing extraordinary power and wealth in Riverbank could earn the title of Riverbank Seven. Their connections, power, and resources were not something ordinary people could compare with. If Buffy was the woman Casius had eyes on, then who else had the nerve to mess with her?” “I met him once somewhere else,” Buffy said calmly after glancing at Kaze. When everyone including Luis saw Buffy’s indifferent attitude toward Kaze and showed no importance, they felt relieved. She knew Kaze but did not take him seriously, otherwise with her power and understanding, she would have resolved the matter already. “Ms. Gwake, you have to do us justice! This guy came into our event and slapped us, embarrassing us!” “He has the nerve to disrespect people and conduct violence at
Rose then pointed at the other guests. “These people too. Kaze doesn't even know them but they insulted him, mocked him, and agreed with Luis to slap him. “So, what’s wrong with Kaze slapping them back? He should slap them more to teach them some manners. At least it’s better than insulting others, who might beat them up, or kill them!” The entire hall was quiet. The men and women were lectured by a girl in front of Buffy. They were all humiliated, including Luis. Luis’ eyes were burning with rage. He started to blame Rose for what happened. “You little bitch, what did you say?” “If you didn’t try to seduce Luis, this wouldn’t happen at all!” “You must be sleeping with your cousin! Why are you so protective of him? Are you his wife or his cousin-in-law?” The young men and women who got lectured by Rose scolded back, calling her names. They spewed whatever vulgarities they could think of at her. Rose instantly flushed with emotions. “Kaze Lee, what are you doin
If Buffy were scared of Kaze, then she would not have shown that attitude back at Kent’s place. Kaze slapped her guests after all, so making him apologize and ensuring the others would never go after him for tonight was probably the ideal outcome for the situation. Buffy confidently believed it was the best solution that she came up with. Luis and the others were slightly displeased when Buffy simply wanted Kaze to apologize verbally. Kaze slapped them to the floor yet he just had to apologize verbally? He got off the hook too easily! However, because of Buffy, no one dared to disagree with her. Everyone had decided to go after Kaze after this. If they could not use this encounter as an excuse, then they could always come up with another. In fact, what excuse would they need to beat up a guy from a small city? Luis said coldly, “Kaze Lee, you have to be careful. Riverbank is a big city and not everyone is as merciful as us.” His tone sounded threatening. Buffy f
Listening to Luis’ provocation, Buffy’s expression turned ashen. She looked at Kaze coldly. “Kaze Lee, are you sure you don’t want to apologize?” “The ones who would be apologizing are Luis and the others.” Kaze pointed at them frivolously and then at Buffy. “And you, for looking down on me.” “Huh? He must have lost his mind.” “I have never seen such a pretentious person before!” Kaze’s words attracted even more unfriendly sneers. Buffy’s expression turned cloudy. Just when she was thinking of a way to teach Kaze a lesson, one of her men came up to her from the back. “Madam, Professor Wilson is here!” Buffy looked surprised. The gloominess on her face faded. After she composed herself, she said, “Invite the professor here. No, wait, I’ll go welcome him myself!” Looking at Buffy’s response, the guests were curious who Professor Wilson was. “Professor Wilson is a lecturer serving tenure at Kalifornia University, a titan in the field of psychology. He is here in
When Buffy thought of what happened back at the mayor’s residence, her expression shifted slightly. She just realized that Kaze was also at the party and if Professor Wilson saw him, it might cause unwanted misunderstanding that could result in conflict. “Go, tell Kaze Lee to leave. Keep it low and ask nicely. Don’t make him mad. Just say I have something to talk to him in private,” said Buffy to one of her men. After meeting Kaze twice, she knew how hot a temper he had. He was not afraid of anything and the more she tried to force him against his will, the fiercer he would retaliate. Her man nodded and went over to Kaze, delivering Buffy’s message. Kaze did not know what she was up to, so he said, “If she wants to talk to me, she can talk to me here.” “Mr. Lee, Ms. Gwake is busy right now. Why don’t you move to the parlor next door and when she’s done here, she will meet you there,” said the man patiently. He too looked down on Kaze. If not for Buffy’s order, he would
“You really don’t want to take any students or disciples? I can pay you. I can give you whatever I earn…” Professor Wilson begged Kaze with the most sincere smile. His action shocked everyone else in the room. They did not care what he said to Kaze, and they could not even hear him clearly. All they saw was Professor Wilson humbling himself in front of Kaze, acting like a child instead of a professor and trying his best to make a request. Who exactly was Kaze Lee? Professor Wilson was a prominent figure in psychology and even the rich and powerful wanted to curry favor with him, yet he lowered himself before Kaze. Buffy was baffled. Kaze shook his head. “I told you before. You must have misunderstood what happened back there. I don’t know psychology. I save Myra using techniques that you don’t comprehend. “There’s no way you can learn that. Why don’t you go and talk to Pastor Angelo and ask him to teach you how God saves people.” Professor Wilson shook his head. “No,
