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,
“Kaze, we are so sorry for what happened. We deserved to be slapped…” The young men and women who mocked and insulted Kaze earlier swapped their arrogant faces to smile ingratiatingly, trying to engage in a conversation with Kaze. Professor Wilson respected him and would leave with just one word. They believed Kaze must have some strong background to be able to order the professor around like that, so they wisely stopped their hostility and decided to curry favor with him. The upper circle was realistic. The young men and women were raised in such an environment, and it was second nature to them to tailor their treatment based on somebody’s identity. They were also extremely good at switching sides to their own advantage. They could be close to a big family but could turn on them at the next moment because the family had lost their value. “What’s the matter, Luis? Not happy with things?” Zenika planned to talk to Kaze as well but when she saw Luis with an ashened expres
Rose looked unhappy and refused to reply to Zenika. Luis smiled and said, “Mr. Lee, I was wrong but it’s all because I liked Rose a lot. When I saw you and her being intimate, I got jealous. Can you forgive me?” “Kaze, I apologize. We should have been friends because of Uncle Lock and with that, I should be looking after you, not giving you a hard time. Please forgive me.” Even the proud Wesley lowered himself and apologized with an awkward smile. Kaze had a scornful glance at the three of them and then shook his head. “You three are not qualified to be my friends.” He was already under the spotlight yet he did not lower his voice at all. Everyone heard him and looked at Luis, Zenika, and Wesley, which embarrassed them. Luis took a deep breath to suppress his anger and then looked at his accomplices. He subtly extended his hand to Zenika’s waist and pushed her. “Ouch!” Zenika fell forward, leaning onto Kaze. “Zenika, what’s wrong?” Luis and Wesley went up to help
Blackjack rules were simple and many relied on luck, especially those low-tier players. For high-tier players, it was a game of technique and mind games. The surprising thing was that once Buffy sat down at the blackjack table, she became a titan and beat all the men. Half an hour later, all the men who thought they were professionals lost everything. They got embarrassed and angry but Buffy remained calm and composed, not flinching one bit.Judging from her relaxed demeanor, she must have held back from the beginning, or else the men would have lost even more. The scene discouraged the others like Luis who wanted to have a play at the table. Buffy was alluring and being at the table with her could fulfill most men’s vanity. Yet when she got too strong, no one wanted to jump into the rabbit hole anymore. It did not feel good losing to a woman at blackjack. Some bold men refused to submit and continued the challenge, but all of them lost terribly. Buffy displayed extr
Buffy frowned. She stopped everyone and said, “That’s enough. We are all friends here. “ She was afraid if the others angered Kaze and he left, then she would lose all chances to persuade him. Luis and the others were displeased at how protective Buffy was at Kaze but they did not say anything. “Kaze, how do you want to play?” she asked patiently. Kaze looked up and scanned everyone. He then looked at Buffy amusedly and said, “Since drinking is meaningless and gambling is against the law, why don’t we play something big? “If you lose, you are mine tonight. That’s my condition, or else I am not playing.” He got so fed up with the woman trying to pull him into her trap, so he came up with an excuse to scare her away. “Yours tonight?” Everyone was shocked that Kaze would voice such a bold condition. Zenika shouted, “Are you out of your mind, you jerk? Who do you think you are, flirting with Buffy like that? You are not qualified to speak to her like that. Who gave you th
Kaze raised his brows. If Buffy agreed to play under such a condition, then she must be looking to get more from him. “What is your condition?” Kaze went over to the Blackjack table and sat down. He was curious about what she wanted from him, so he did not mind sitting down for a game. Buffy looked at Kaze and scoffed, “You said if I lose, I am yours tonight. Then, my condition is, that if you lose, you are mine for a month. I want you to serve me. You do whatever I say and you cannot defy me!” A month should be enough for Kaze to cure her father. Kaze scrutinized Buffy and said, “Cannot defy you? Fine. Actually, not much of a loss for me in our bet.” Buffy clenched her teeth. The audacity to tease her again.She suppressed the urge to throw him into the river and said coldly, “Cut the nonsense. Are you playing or not? Give me an answer.” “You bumpkin! Get your mind out of the gutter. You are not worthy!” Wesley came over with a smirk and continued, “You think Bu
