“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
When Kaze arrived at the mansion entrance, Conan was already there. “I’m sorry, Brother. I have failed you. The men I sent to protect Rose did not do a good job.” He apologized the moment Kaze stepped out of the car. “Gillian came from Bronze Sparrow with a group of men and they took Rose away. My men were no match for his experts. “My men also said that Gillian’s men were as strong as him and some of them were familiar faces on Red Notice.” Kaze furrowed his brows. “As expected. Bronze Sparrow isn’t as simple as it looks. It’s a refuge for many criminals.” “Bro, you have to be careful!” Conan looked worried. “Zoro could have sent men after you. He is a powerful man, and he could challenge you in person, yet he disregarded his reputation and ordered his men to take Rose away. “He’s definitely coming after you and with Rose in his hands, he got himself some insurance. I bet Bronze Sparrow is a trap! His men will ambush you as soon as you step inside!” Judging from the
Kaze did not notice the elite youngsters looking at him from the coffee shop. Even if he did, he did not care about the vermins crawling in the shadows. He went straight into the club with open doors and a waitress came over with a tray. “Sir, I am sorry but we are closed for business.” “I’m here for Zoro.” Kaze glanced at the waitress, noting her fair skin and ponytail. He selected a drink from the tray, using the provided paper straw. “Mr. Lee.” The waitress bowed and gestured, “The GM is on the third basement floor. This way, please.” Kaze nodded and strolled to the elevator. After the waitress pressed the button, she quickly stepped behind Kaze in the elevator and lowered her head. The elevator arrived at the third basement floor. The door opened but Kaze did not move. “Mr. Lee, this way please,” the waitress said as she stepped forward. Suddenly, a burst of murderous intent filled the air and enveloped Kaze. The waitress tossed the tray away and thrust a
“Ugh…” The three killers covered the holes in their necks, their eyes widened in disbelief as they fell to puddles of their own blood. Kaze did not get a drop of blood on himself. He kicked the bodies away before he wiped his hands with a napkin. He then continued forward. Bang! The iron door collapsed with just one kick from Kaze. He found himself in a spacious hall with dim lightning. There were multiple iron doors across the hall that seemed to lead to different places. The moment he entered, he sensed the room filled with murderous intent. The iron doors felt like prison cells in a jail, locking up the most ferocious beasts. Once the doors opened, the beasts inside would destroy their prey brutally. Clap. Clap. Clap. A slow clap resounded in the hall. A man with a fit physique stood from the maroon couch further away. “You are much faster than I anticipated. As expected of the man who could crush diamonds with his hand.” Following the man’s words, a
“My objective is not to walk out of here dead or alone.” Kaze shook his head and looked at Zoro. “I am here to take you and Luis with me, both dead. The Viper’s Den demanded you guys hand over Joel’s killer by noon, so I will fulfill their demand.” Zoro frowned at Kaze’s righteous tone. He looked at Gillian. Gillian went closer and said softly, “Our men didn’t spot anyone suspicious.” With their men all over Bronze Sparrow, they were certain no one had followed Kaze in. “Zoro, he’s alone yet he still speaks boldly. He is not taking you seriously.” Gillian shot an icy gaze at Kaze. He was humiliated the other night and was forced to kneel before Kaze to escape severe punishment. He was aggrieved. Kaze might be physically stronger than him but he still wanted revenge. Therefore, he took Rose to force Kaze to show up in Bronze Sparrow. With Zoro by his side, he believed that Kaze could not possibly do anything. Gillian looked at Kaze as if he was already a dead man
“You didn’t expect me to play along and let Luis kill Joel. When you found out that I could crush diamonds with my bare hands and Jude Gwake wanted me on his side, you panicked. “You are afraid that I will intervene with matters at Viper’s Den South River Branch, ultimately foiling your master’s plan to take over. “If I remain uncontrollable, you as the person in charge will have to take responsibility. That’s why you ordered Gillian to take Rose, forcing me to come to Bronze Sparrow so you can remove the uncontrollable variable—me. “However, there’s one thing you missed out on. What if everything that has happened until this point is also part of my plan?” Kaze smiled as he explained to Zoro. A veil of mystery enveloped him. Zoro’s pupils shrank in shock. “Part of your plan? What do you mean?” If Kaze was aware of the plan all along and knew that Casius was the mastermind, yet he remained calm and casual in his tone, then Zoro was forced to expect the worst. Kaze smiled
“Kaze Lee, your dear Rose is frightened and she wants you to run. I see you two are intimately close, but it’s too late for that! There’s no way you are walking out of Bronze Sparrow alive tonight!” As Rose broke down in tears, Luis, Zenika and the others started cackling. Kaze had humiliated them like never before, cutting off their fingers and leaving them hunted by Viper’s Den. Forced to hide in Bronze Sparrow, they lived a life of misery and fear. No one hoped for Kaze’s demise more than they did. Luis felt exalted knowing that Kaze was at his end. He stepped up and said proudly, “Kaze Lee, kneel and cut off both your legs and I might ask Zoro to let you live.” “Zoro, you seem certain that you will take my life today,” Kaze said with a smile without even looking at Luis. Zoro replied expressionlessly, “I don’t talk to a dead man.” “Alright. I understand.” Kaze nodded and then said, “Rose, close your eyes.” Rose did not understand why but her absolute trust in Ka
