“Kaze, I thought you got someone useful to help but he's useless bullshit as well!” “He looks ferocious. He might be able to scare normal people like us but he’s useless against Hades!” Lance and Naomi immediately jumped in and mocked Dan after seeing his failure. They were frightened by Dan and they thought the man was someone powerful. However, a few minutes later, Dan came running out. Dan slapped himself again when Lance and Naomi mocked him. He was fine with the humiliation but he did not want to embarrass Kaze. It would be a great sin if he did. He knelt on the ground and said, “Master Lee, I’ll call all my men here and make Hades pay for what he had done!” “Shut up you! All you know is brag!” Naomi looked askance at Dan. She then looked at Kaze and said, “Tell Darcy to pay the two million to get Larry back! If anything happens to Larry, I’ll make your family pay!” “Yeah! Forget about the lousy car! Larry must be fine! Call your wife immediately!” Lance berate
Miru? The casino players looked confused. Someone said hesitantly, “Is she the goddaughter of Alan who owns Lefteria Group?” Woah! The casino erupted in a commotion.Lefteria Group and Alan were mentioned a lot. Alan had been the godfather of Lilyrose underworld after all. The group had left behind its criminal roots and become a legitimate business empire in Lilyrose.“That’s right. That’s her.” Tim said in chuckles, “The bitch thinks she’s all that. She called to get my boss to return the car. She and Dan upset my boss, so he trashed the car.” There was an uproar all around. Hades was something else to disregard Dan and Lefteria Group. Many were unaware of Hades’ origins. However, that did not stop them from revering him. Hades enjoyed being the center of attention. Still, he remained nonchalant on the surface. “Bottom line, my connections in Lilyrose run deep enough to back the casino up. No one, regardless of their legal or illegal standing, will dare to cause
“The young man is amazing. Tim, the best fighter in the casino, is no match for him. Man, Tim got beaten up real bad.” “I know, right? I witnessed Tim take down a few gym rats who were on orders to cause trouble in the place.” “Tsk. So what if the man can fight? Didn’t you hear Hades calling on his security officers to kill him? They are all armed with weapons. The young man can’t defend himself with just his fists.” The casino players stared at Kaze and chatted among themselves. The two dozen security officers whipped out their weapons of choice and charged toward Kaze. Hades had always been generous to them. Now that Tim lost to Kaze, anyone who could restrain Kaze would be heavily rewarded. These fugitives with blood in their hands saw dollar signs in Kaze. The person charging in the front was a burly man with a scarred face, waving his 20-pound knife around. He zeroed in on Kaze’s neck, his gaze sharp. Swoosh. The knife went for Kaze’s neck. Some timid casino
The casino players looked at Kaze like he was a dead man. Sure, Kaze had single handedly taken on Hades’ two dozen fighters. It was scary when Kaze sent Hades flying multiple times. Still, they believed Kaze was a goner. It was said that people would rather deal with the consequences than face a man like Cronus. The saying had been around Lilyrose for years, and it had been proven to be true. It could be a matter of Kaze losing his life. Hades got back up and wiped the blood off his face before looking at Kaze begrudgingly. “As you can tell, my uncle is a scary man. I don’t care who you are—” Smack! He was knocked over again. “Your uncle can be Cronus, Zeus, or the king of the world, but he can’t stop me from hitting you.” Cronus, or whatever his name was, did not scare Kaze. Without looking back, Kaze said, “Dan, take your men and trash the place, including the cars parked outside.” The casino players went white. “Don’t, sir. Those are our cars. We have noth
“Babe, someone here is stopping me from leaving. I’ll be home once I get everything sorted out.” Kaze then hung up. “Kaze! Kaze!” Darcy put down the phone anxiously before dialing Miru’s number. “I’m sorry, Darcy. I didn’t think the bastard would trash your car. I’m taking my people to Hades’ casino. Don’t worry. I’ll make him pay.” Miru’s aggressive voice came through the other end of the line. She had given Hades a call, asking for Darcy’s car back. Not only did Hades disrespect her, but he ruined the car too. Hades made sure Miru got to see the car-smashing live. That was a clear-cut diss at her. Miru was not the type to take the insult lying down. Without hesitation, she was going to storm into the casino with her people.Payback was the last thing on Darcy’s mind. She replied, “Please save Kaze, Miru. He was trashing Hades’ casino when I called him. I think someone isn’t letting him leave. Please, Miru.” Miru silently cursed Kaze for his suicidal attempt.
“So, he is Darcy Quint’s husband? He’s the infamous dummy who married into the Quints.” “Shut up! Knock it off, or you’ll get the rest of us in trouble!” “What are you afraid of? Do you think he’s a big shot? Why are you afraid of the Quints’ dimwitted son-in-law anyway? It’s not as if he can do anything to us.” “That’s right. He has upset Cronus, so there’s no escaping for him now.” Kaze’s response stirred a commotion in the casino. Many had heard about him. The casino players looked at Kaze curiously. The dummy son-in-law of the Quints was well known in Lilyrose. It explained why he would trash Cronus’ nephew’s casino. Kaze was not fearless against Cronus. A dummy simply did not know better. To these people, Kaze was a dead man. “Haha. I thought we could expect a new contender in town, but he’s just a wise guy.” Hunter had no reason to be cautious now that he knew who Kaze was. “Tell me. How do you plan on compensating for Hades’ loss?” towering over Kaze, he
The ten trained fighters collapsed on the ground, crying out in agony. “No way!” Unlike his previous composure, Hunter grimaced and looked at Jackal’s party in disbelief. Hades, who vowed to give Kaze hell, was dumbfounded. ‘These six bastards withheld on me when they were my crew.’Even Dan widened his eyes and rambled in his mind. If Dan knew that Jackal and his party could take on Cronus’ trained fighters, he would have taken out of the competition and become the king of the underworld. Of course, he kept these thoughts to himself. The six soldiers had more success with Kaze. Dan could no longer boss these soldiers around. “Bring them both to me.” Kaze finally rose to his feet. Jackal and his companions brought Hunter and Hades, who were scared out of their wits, before Kaze. “Get down.” Two soldiers kicked Hunter and Hades on the back of their knees. Thump! They fell onto their knees and grimaced in pain. Kaze looked at the angry pair and asked with
Soon, Larry was taken out, and he was beaten beyond recognition. Hades glanced uneasily at Kaze, breathing a sigh of relief when Kaze did not fault him for Larry’s sorry state. Larry looked at Kaze. He was not grateful that Kaze saved him. Instead, he questioned Kaze aggressively, “Why did it take you so long? Didn’t you see how badly I was beaten up? Your wife will have to pay for my medical and the pain I had gone through.” Smack! Kaze slapped him and said curtly, “Trust me when I say the people in the casino can end you now.” Larry put his hand over his cheek, scared to utter another word. He assumed that Kaze paid two million dollars for his release. If Kaze refused to pay the money, Hades would probably kill him there and then. Larry’s eyes flickered with menace, and he swallowed his anger. Ignoring the hostility in Larry’s eyes, Kaze turned around to leave. “Get out here, Hades! Bastard! How dare you wreck my girl’s car! I’m going to turn your casino upside do
