Serene and the other Viper’s Den agents looked at Kaze coldly. The Viper’s Den had thirty-six main branches and even more sub-branches under each of them. There were more than a million agents of the organization across the country. No one knew better than them how difficult it was to stand out from so many people. Not only did Kaze reject the olive branch from Jude, but he even despised it. To them, his actions were ungrateful and disrespectful. His repeated disregard for Jude in front of them was also a provocative act that would put his life in danger. Kaze put the teacup down and smiled. “Mr. Gwake, why would I need confidence and nerve to reject your offer? Isn’t that a little bit unreasonable? “Since you mentioned it, for your daughter’s sake, I don’t mind explaining.” Kaze put a finger up. “Firstly, I am the first one who struck Joel but that’s because he insulted Rose, my cousin-in-law. “Luis then beat up Joel and I did give him a tip or two, but it’s also b
“Hold it right there!” “The chief didn’t say you can go!” Agents of the Viper’s Den stepped up and prevented Kaze from leaving. Kaze smiled but he did not even spare a glance at them. “It seems like you don’t cherish the chance that I just gave you, Mr. Gwake.” He turned around to Jude with a grin. Jude grunted coldly and said, “Who do you think you are, giving me a chance? Look in the mirror.” “Are you the branch leader of the Viper’s Den West State Branch or the governor of the South River State?” “Not even Kent Synder, the mayor of Riverbank, has the nerve to speak to him like that! What makes you?” “You’re giving the chief a chance? Are you kidding?” The agents continued to mock him. They saw Kaze as nothing more than a clown. Kaze smiled. “One of them got it right. I am really the branch leader of the Viper’s Den West State Branch.” “What?! You are the branch leader?!” Everyone was surprised before they laughed out loud. Kaze was the branch leader of th
“Kaze, since I lost a bet to you last night, my father and I will let you go this time. After this, we are even. “But you disrespected my father and as a daughter, I cannot forgive you. I don’t want to see you anymore. You better disappear from my face before I change my mind! Don’t let me see you at Drake Gym, or I will not hold back!” Buffy pointed at the exit and bellowed coldly. Kaze had a good look at her. It was surprising that she would defend him in front of her father. She might be shouting at him, demanding him to leave, but she was trying to send him away before her father got to him. In an instant, the ill feelings she had left him with during their first meeting vanished. Kaze smiled and simply said, “Deputy Chief Gwake, you should thank yourself for having a good daughter. “I’ve decided. If you insist on fighting the match and lose to Hannah in the end, I will spare your life so that you can live it out to the fullest.” He then walked toward the exit. “D
Kaze said, “So this basically verified what I just said.” Serene scoffed. “Mr. Lee, you are still too young. In the world of adults, there’s no right or wrong, only benefits. The one with the stronger fist is always right. “You might sound reasonable and righteous. The law might even be on your side but they are all useless before absolute power.” “Absolute power? All of you here are no match for me.” Kaze scoffed. Serene smirked. “Punk, you really think you are invincible just because you taught Luis how to defeat Joel?” “Joel might be the chief’s best fighter but it’s because of his sister and master, that’s why he held such an important position by the chief’s side.” “Little did you know, each one of us is as strong as Joel.” “And, among all the agents working under the chief, Serene is the strongest.” “Not even ten Joels combined can beat her.” The agents grinned. To them, Kaze’s ignorant arrogance was pitiful. “Ten Joels?” Kaze raised his brows and smiled
Serene knew Kaze was strong. He was able to verbally instruct Luis to defeat Joel, which was solid proof of his strength. Yet when she saw Kaze slap the agents away with ease, she was still surprised. Before she could react, Kaze was already strolling up to her after defeating the other agents. “You are going to pay for this!” Serene was agitated. She extended both her hands, revealing two sharp and long needles in her hands. Swoosh! Without any hesitation, she thrust her weapons at Kaze as she lunged forward. The tenderness and beauty of a woman disappeared from her the moment she made a move. All she had was murderous intent and a frosty look. Unfortunately, before the needles could hit their targets, Kaze’s slaps landed on her face first. Slap! Serene did not even lay a finger on Kaze’s clothes. The slap landed on her face, sending her twisting and twirling in the air and flying backward like a kite cut loose. She crashed onto the tree behind her. Blood sta
“Kaze Lee, what are you trying to do?” Jude asked. His experience in life allowed him to be calm in the face of danger. Kaze smiled. “Why do you ask the obvious? You tried to kill me just now.” “Kaze! Don’t do this!” Buffy’s expression shifted and quickly said, “My father is just trying to teach you a lesson, not kill you!” She knew Kaze was fearless. If Kaze had the intent, he might very well take her father’s life. Kaze smiled at her. “Don’t worry, Buffy. I said it before, I will let him live for your sake. Even though he tried to kill me back then, since he’s your father, I will forgive him.” Buffy blushed but she was still angry. Jude’s expression turned ashen. “Punk, stop dreaming! My daughter is one-of-a-kind, you are not worthy…” Slap! Before he could finish, a slap landed on Jude’s face loud and clear. Everything went still in an instant. Kaze slapped Jude in the face in front of everyone. “I am not so sure if I am worthy of Buffy but I am sure you are
“You jerk!” Kaze playfully unbuttoned his shirt and Buffy reacted by tossing the pillow in his face. She bellowed, “Then why did you take me back here?” For some reason, she did feel a little disappointed. She had to admit that her heart raced unusually when Kaze forcefully took her away from her father. “You really think I am going to do something to you?” Kaze moved the pillow away and leaned against the door. He crossed his arms and looked at the woman, intrigued. “I just want to make your father angry, best if he could suffer a stroke or something, so I can take revenge. He did try to kill me.” “You bastard!” Buffy scolded him again but she quickly scoffed. “Forget about it. Other than himself, my father doesn’t care about anyone, including me, his daughter.” Kaze noticed Buffy did not even bother to lie to herself. He pursed his lips and then said, “You poor girl. I guessed I shouldn’t have promised to let him live in front of you.” “Kaze, you really think yo
“Get out!” Following Buffy’s shout, another pillow was tossed at the closing door. Kaze chuckled and went back to his room to rest. Buffy took the guest room at the far end. Even though the villa was just a temporary lodging, the master bedroom still belonged to him and Darcy. Knock, knock. The next morning, a series of knocks on the door woke Kaze up. “Who is it? A call for morning sex or what?” Kaze thought it was Buffy and he answered the door with a witty remark. “Master, Ms. Gwake is still asleep.” It was Master Juan at his door. His hair was messy and his eyes bloodshot, making him look more like a pervert. Kaze frowned. “What happened?” “Master, the neighborhood’s security guard is here. He said your aunt is at the entrance, demanding to see you. I heard something serious happened. “I am afraid that it might disrupt your plan, so I decided to knock on your door.” He sounded like the most humble servant. “My aunt? Tell them to bring her in.” Kaze
