Rose looked up at Kaze pitifully, her concern for him showing. She had encountered trouble with Kaze before, but nothing of this magnitude. Smashing heads with beer bottles was bad enough. However, Rose was scared stiff by the finger cutting and the Ryokanian’s near-fatal encounter. Instead of celebrating Kaze’s fighting prowess, Rose was worried about his safety. Those people Kaze was up against tonight came from powerful families. Kaze tapped his finger on Rose’s head. “Don’t say that.” “I’m just concerned about you.” Rose pouted her lips. Kaze grinned. “Don’t worry. I will avoid trouble from now on, but sometimes, I have no choice but to fight back when people are out to get me.”Rose realized that Kaze had a point. Luis and his friends pushed the envelope tonight, leading to Kaze’s retaliation. It was quite a mental strain for Rose after such a dramatic night. She quickly dozed off against Kaze. Kaze pulled a throw over her and told Conan, who was behind
As a long-standing family, the Queens had extensive connections to find the people Kaze needed. If Conan failed to meet his demands for security, Kaze could also access his resources. His people would be overqualified for the job in Riverbank City, though. Conan gave his word. “I knew a few people, Kaze. They are experts in protection, but they don’t come cheap.” Kaze replied indifferently, “Money is no object so long as their competence lives up to the rates.” It was a quiet night. Kaze slept in the next day. By then, Conan had brought him breakfast. After breakfast with Rose, Kaze got a message from Hannah, saying that Cyan had gone to Golden Scale Corporation to sign the contract. Thanks to Kaze, Golden Scale Corporation offered Cyan the best contract. Streamers signed to Golden Scale Corporation typically earned 20% of their profits.However, the profits were split in half between Cyan and Golden Scale Corporation. After the deduction of the operating cost, Cy
“You don’t need a job?” Lock said angrily, “What’s the meaning of this, Kaze?“I just told you to get up where you fell. Were you listening at all?“What are you going to do if you don’t buckle down and work hard?“Are you going to go through life with no achievements? Are you going to numb yourself in vanity with all the meaningless bragging? “Have you any idea the trouble Cyan had gone through to get you a job? “Don’t let Cyan down, Kaze. I don’t want to be disappointed in you.”Lock was distressed. He was disappointed in Kaze for lying about owning Villa No. 1 in Wyomspring just to impress others. “I may have come off harsh yesterday, Kaze, but it’s all for your own good.” “I have always had high hopes for you. I can’t let you continue on the wrong path. “I wouldn’t bother if you were anyone else.” Kaze’s hands were tied. Since Kaze owned Golden Scale Corporation, there was no need for him to take up an insignificant position in the same company. However, he
After hanging up, Kaze got a notification of a wired transfer. Lock gave him 10 thousand dollars to purchase a fitting suit when he was on his way to Golden Scale Corporation. Kaze had to accept Lock’s kindness. Lock would call and give him another earful if Kaze refused. Kaze had no intention of buying or wearing a formal suit. The owner did not need to dress up like the other employees at his place of business. Leaving Rose to roam around the house, Kaze drove the Phaeton from Kent and arrived at the city’s commercial street. Golden Scale Corporation’s office building had quite a visual impact, especially when the public looked up to its sheer size.The building was filled with well-dressed individuals, all looking like they were important businesspeople.Kaze found a spot to park the car before taking strides into the building. He quickly spotted Cyan standing in the crowd. Cyan wore a simple blouse and shorts, showing the skin of her long neck and long legs. A pai
Cyan was in the culture and entertainment division of Golden Scale Corporation. However, she brought Kaze to a sub-department of one of Golden Scale Corporation’s many business divisions. This department was primarily responsible for government procurement projects.Golden Scale Corporation was able to expand due to its connections with the Viper’s Den. These privileges demanded respect from both sides.Golden Scale Corporation acquired many government contracts thanks to these privileges. As Cyan had informed beforehand, the line manager welcomed Kaze with open arms upon their arrival. Kaze’s onboarding was processed swiftly. “Congratulations, Kaze. You’re now a temporary employee at Golden Scale Corporation, making three thousand dollars a month. “Work hard to pass the probation. With hard work, you might catch up to me and make millions in a year,” Cyan said while dumping the paperwork on Kaze. “That reminds me. My dad said that he would make the downpayment for your
“Hadn’t I mentioned earlier? I’m here to check out our new employee.” Wesley’s gaze fell on Kaze, and he said with a pretentious smile, “You sure are lucky, Kaze. You managed to walk out of Bronze Sparrow alive last night.”“Mr. Gwake, what does Kaze have to do with Bronze Sparrow?”Cyan was taken aback. She had heard about Bronze Sparrow. Even Cyan could not get into the high-end club, but somehow, Kaze gained access there. Cyan looked at Kaze in disbelief. She pondered on the possibility that Kaze lived in Wyomspring. Both places were rather abstract concepts to Cyan. Given the exclusive clientele to Bronze Sparrow, the same people on the list would be able to afford Wyomspring too.Wesley scoffed. “Stop guessing, Cyan. Buffy had her birthday party at Bronze Sparrow last night. He was just somebody’s plus-one to get free food. He upset Mr. Presley and nearly got himself killed.” “Oh, I see.” As the realization hit Cyan, she looked at Kaze in disdain. “Can you be a
“Get it to your head that without Buffy’s help, Mr. Presley and I would’ve set you straight, Lee,” Wesley said menacingly, his finger up Kaze’s nose. “Alright. Just carry on living in your fantasy.” Kaze smiled nonchalantly. Cyan furrowed her brows at Kaze’s sarcastic remark and said, “That’s enough, Kaze. Mr. Gwake is your superior. Have some respect. “If you need to get along with Mr. Gwake to work here.“Get it?” Wesley smirked. “If he gets it, he won’t be working here in the first place.“No offense but I can understand why you pulled some strings to get him a job, Cyan. Still, you should teach him some basic manners. “He’s talking back to his superior before he’s even a permanent employee here. I can’t imagine the things he’d do later.” Cyan said in resignation, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gwake. I didn’t know that he needed a lesson in manners.” “That’s fine. I can’t blame you.” Wesley waved his arm and said with a fake smile, “I’ll show the newbie the ropes.” He turned
Wesley spoke without courtesy, showing no respect to Cyan. He wanted to frame Kaze and embarrass him for what happened at Bronze Sparrow last night. Cyan was left speechless after listening to him. If she was not worried about her parents arguing over Kaze, she would not have spoken up. While the others gloated at him, Kaze picked up the purchasing list and went through it. “Riverbank Housing and Renewal Department, Traffic Department, Department of Health and Welfare…” Kaze read the names on the list and then asked without looking, “Wesley, as long as I can bring them here to sign the contract, then I can become a permanent employee here?” “That’s right!” Wesley looked up proud and scoffed. “You have one week. If you can reach out to them and let them sign the purchasing order, not only will I make you a permanent employee but I will also give you a 10% commission on each order. Other employees are only getting 4%. “But let me make this straight for you. If you can’t
