The wooden sword was Master Juan’s favorite artifact. It was made with the best oak wood and carved with complicated markings. It even had a few gemstones on the hilt. The wooden sword could easily fetch a few million on the market but Kaze lit it up using his lighter and used it as a torch. He raised the torch and entered through the iron door. The torch burned brightly before he entered but when he set foot inside, the fire grew weak to the point of extinguishing. Fortunately, it did not go off and continued to emit a dim light across the room. Kaze finally got a better look at the place. Before him was a round platform with a red wooden coffin on top. It was extremely huge. Based on his estimation, it was at least three times larger than a common coffin. Under the coffin was a line of artificial gully, surrounding the entire coffin and spreading across the room. Some red liquid flowed across it and through some sophisticated instruments, it entered and exited the c
Master Juan’s great-grandfather somehow redeemed himself during his last breath. Nevertheless, the Ryokanians continued their wicked experiment to transform the body into a zombie super soldier, hoping they could one day bring back the dead and create an army of undead soldiers to conquer the world. Master Juan’s great-grandfather told his descendant never to move the pond because he did not want his family to get involved. The blood flowing in the gully was the blood of his people. Kaze’s expression turned frosty. The Ryokanians’ evil ambitions would never die until they invaded Arcadia. “Luckily you bumped into me,” Kaze said coldly. Bang! He punched the coffin, shattering it along with the remains of Master Juan's great-grandfather. He then tossed the torch into the gully, igniting the entire room to burn everything away. At the same time in a shrine somewhere in Ryokan, a tablet worshiped on an altar cracked and disintegrated into dust. After that, Kaze walked
Kaze said, “I’ve dealt with it. Strange things won’t happen to your family again. “Some Ryokanians controlled Master Juan’s great-grandfather’s soul to cause disturbance but that’s all they can do for now. You can just forget what happened.” Kent nodded gratefully. “Thank you. Thank you again.” He was grateful for what Kaze had done for his family and was fully convinced of Kaze’s capabilities. Master Juan and his disciples went down and came back horrified, whereas Kaze returned unscathed and revealed a major secret under the pond. “Oh, the dead ninja the other day, where’s the body?” Kaze asked. Kent said, “I asked my men to bury it in some public grave, where we used to bury homeless people. It’s also a place where the powerful bury their enemies.” Kaze asked, “Give me the location. Don’t ask and don’t go checking on it. Just take it as if you buried a dead stray cat.” Kent was slightly surprised. He did not know what Kaze wanted to do but he nodded nevertheless. T
Bronze Sparrow had nine floors. The place was also known as Nine Heavens. At the top of Nine Heavens would be the office of the general manager, Zoro Bleach. Luis and Zenika came purposely to meet Zoro. Last night when Kaze thrashed the place, Zoro was not around. He only came back this morning, so Luis and Zenika were eager to convince him to pursue Kaze and avenge them. After their fingers were cut off, they went straight to the hospital to sew them back. However, the doctor said even if they reattached the severed fingers, they would not be able to use it as nimbly as before. In other words, their fingers were completely crippled even though they looked fine. Luis and Zenika hated Kaze to their core. Overnight they became disabled—an outcome their status and upbringing could not accept. Bump! Bump! Bump! With Zoro’s man leading the way, Luis and Zenika arrived at the highest floor and the first thing they heard were noises of rough waves. A shirtless man in his
Zoro said, “There’s always someone better. Aside from the few kingpins, the prominent families of Riverbank also employed many powerful experts. “They had been dominating South River State for years, their foundations deeply rooted. They colluded with the authorities and forged alliances with the underworld forces. Every family has their own figure of ‘pillar’ like anchors holding them firm.” Luis wore a flattering smile and said, “Even so, they are old and you are still in your prime. With Casius’ praises and esteem for you, even if the other veterans stand against you, you can easily crush them beneath your feet!” Zoro chuckled. “Who knows? No one would show their trump card until it’s a matter of life and death. “Like the Lee family. I heard they were defeated by their abandoned son in Lilyrose, losing not only power and influence but also Cosmo’s and Narian’s legs. Yet they dared not say a thing. “People started to look down on them, thinking they were declining, but thos
Zoro did not look at Luis. His eyes were emotionless. Luis felt embarrassed and angry but forced a smile and said, “Zoro, I’m sorry. I won’t bother you with my affairs anymore but this time, that rube… Did you know he thrashed Bronze Sparrow?” Zoro nodded. “I know this young man. Kaze Lee, from Lilyrose. He also has another identity.” “Another identity?” Luis responded. Zoro explained, “I just told you about it, use your brain and think. The abandoned son of the Lee family who defeated them at Lilyrose, that’s him.” He knew what happened at Bronze Sparrow yesterday night and when he came back, the first thing he did was investigate Kaze’s identity. “What?! He’s the abandoned son of the Lee family?” Luis was shocked. No wonder Kaze spoke so boldly in his presence. If he could defeat the Lee family in Lilyrose, he would have no fear of anyone else. Luis turned pale. “Zoro, if even the Lee family can’t do anything about him, then does it mean I am not getting my reveng
“Ms. Gwake is now associated with a hick. Even though nothing happened between them, rumors will still fly.“If we don’t do anything, we can’t answer Mr. Weather when he gets back. “Mr. Weather won’t just take his anger out on the hick. We will be held responsible too.” Zenika stirred the pot and said, “That’s right. Ms. Gwake went after Kaze Lee when he left Bronze Sparrow. Everybody saw it. “Who knows what they did—” “Smack!” Zoro slapped Zenika from finishing her sentence. “Zoro!” Taken aback by Zoro’s outburst, Luis went white. “Get here on your knees.” Zoro pointed at his feet. Flustered, Zenika held her cheek and crawled to Zoro on all fours. “I’m sorry, Zoro. The words just came out of my mouth without thinking.” “Get up and lie there.” Zoro pointed at a nearby table. Zenika made a face. Struck by a thought, she got to her feet and lay on the table with her back facing the men, her curvaceous line on full display. Moments later, Zenika’s agonized voi
“Since Jude hasn’t found any decent fighters yet, the Gwakes are falling apart. If Mr. Weather steps in to help the Gwakes secure the leadership role, Jude will marry Buffy to Mr. Weather in a show of gratitude. “Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone? “Anyway, Mr. Weather will not get angry with you if you play your cards right. He might even value you and offer you some perks.” Zoro formed the perfect plan amid the cheerful talk. “I get what you mean now, Zoro.” Luis’ eyes lit up. Nevertheless, he quickly grew worried and said, “This is a good plan, but what if the guy defeats Hannah, Zoro? “He was savage yesterday. He destroyed your team of a dozen fighters. Even Scarface and the assassin from Ryokan nearly died at his hands.” This was Luis’ main concern. Kaze’s aggression last night left him traumatized. Zoro patted Zenika, gesturing to her to turn over before he uttered, “Your concern is invalid. “Hannah was once the rising star in the Viper’s Den West S
