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
Flipping mad, Hades shouted in rage. Hades was the nephew of Cronus. He was slapped by Kaze and then beaten by Miru. His face was bruised and battered.Smack! Miru hit him across the face again before walking away. “Hank, break everything in Orange Light Hotel.“Remember this, Hades. I wreck your place and your face. You should come at me if you want revenge.” She uttered and took off without looking back. Meanwhile, Kaze returned to the Horizon Mirror Mansion. “K-Kaze is back!” Keeping watch at the door, Sky noticed Kaze’s return and announced to the others excitedly. Darcy ran out of the house. She examined Kaze immediately. “Are you alright, Kaze? Did the people at the casino hit you?” “More like I hit them,” Kaze answered with a smile. “The main thing is that you’re okay.” Darcy could finally rest. Kaze felt bad to make Darcy worried about him. “I’m sorry, babe. Your car is written off, but I have made Hades pay for the damages.” “All that matters is
“Mom, the medical incident happened five years ago. Even if you owe the Laime family, you have paid them back enough in the past five years,” Kaze persuaded patiently. The Laimes were clearly pushing Darcy’s family around, knowing they were soft-hearted. They took advantage of the Quints’ kindness, draining them of everything they had. Anyone else in the Quints’ position would not let the Laimes take whatever they pleased. “Shut up!” Agnes interrupted Kaze angrily. “You married into our family, Kaze. We house you and feed you. You have no say under this roof. Mind your own business!“I didn’t make Darcy divorce you because I didn’t want to push her. Know your place. Don’t be so disrespectful.” After giving Kaze a piece of her mind, Agnes turned away and returned to her bedroom. Bam!The door slammed with a bang, startling Sky with a shudder. “I can’t believe my mom. Kaze means well. He just didn’t want the Laimes to exploit her, but she blames Kaze for overstepping his
“Tsk. Why are you so lame, Sky? Why did you even brag to us?” The female classmate terminated the call angrily. “Oh, no. I shouldn’t have bragged. Now, my classmates are going to make fun of me.” Holding his phone, Sky sighed. Kaze was baffled by what he just saw. “What’s wrong with telling them that I’m a big shot in the military? I don’t see why there’s a problem with that.” “You don’t get it, Kaze. We can be vain, but we shouldn’t lie. Otherwise, we’d need to cover up with more lies.” Sky added, “Darcy told me the truth. You’re not some top guy in the military. I got the wrong idea.” Kaze nodded to himself. It appeared Sky was pretty grounded. After a few days of observation, Kaze could confidently say that Sky was trustworthy. He said, “You’ve been back for a few days now, Sky. I have not given you a gift. What would you like? I’ll get it for you.” “I want a sports car. Can you afford it?” Sky dangled his phone peevishly, showing a cool sports car on his mobil
