“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
The eight masterful fighters surrounded Kaze, blocking every escape path he could possibly find. They could already picture Gillian cutting Kaze in half with the broadsword. “That’s it?” Kaze spoke all of a sudden but it sounded unusually calm and cold. He did not even look up when he lifted a stool with his foot and kicked it out. Bang! The stool hit Gillian like a meteor, colliding with the broadsword he wielded. The stool shattered everywhere into pieces. Thump! The shattered pieces flew so fast that the fighters could not dodge in time. They were either cut or incapacitated on the spot. Some of the pieces even plunged into their neck and face, killing them on the spot. Five out of eight fighters collapsed on the floor instantly. The other three were petrified and the fear of death instantly enveloped them. They instinctively took a step back to avoid the danger. Gillian was in terrible shape as well. When the stool shattered and burst into pieces, he fel
Zoro pulled his gaze away from Gillian’s body. He took a deep breath and said, “Maybe you are really strong but if you hadn’t stepped on my tail, or just lie low for a few more years and grow stronger, I might not be your match as well. “Too bad you don’t know how to keep your temper in check. That’s why, Kaze Lee, you are going to die here in Bronze Sparrow…” He looked at Kaze coldly, as if he was a lifeless corpse. He entered the underworld of Riverbank when he was 20 years old. He relied on his fists to expand his influence, stepping on his enemies’ bodies to rise in the ranks. If he was in Viper’s Den, he could probably reach the deputy chief’s position with his own strength. However, he disliked being controlled, so he would rather stay under Casius and take care of Bronze Sparrow. Therefore, not many people knew exactly how powerful he was. Zoro himself had absolute confidence in his own strength. Even when Kaze just killed six of his expert fighters with a stoo
Gasp! Zoro gasped deeply to suppress the urge in his throat to prevent the blood from gushing out, which could have resulted in an embarrassing situation. The arm that he used to clash with Kaze’s punch was trembling. He looked at Kaze in horror. When his fist clashed with Kaze’s, he felt an unprecedented energy invading his body, wreaking havoc along the way and almost blasting him away. Had he not dispersed the energy through his legs, he would have suffered severe internal injuries. He might have escaped the worst but his face flushed and he was feeling sick. “How?” Zoro looked at Kaze in disbelief. The turbulent flow of blood in his body made his heart race as horror consumed him. He had never faced defeat since he stepped into the underworld, yet he lost in the hands of a young man. Looking at Kaze's calm and unperturbed expression, and not even moving from his place, Zoro knew he had met a powerful opponent. His expression turned serious as caution and fear
Slap! The scrawny man slapped the face of Zoro’s man as he walked past, and that sent the man flying backward. Zoro’s man crashed onto the wall with blood gushing from his mouth. When he fell on the floor, he had lost signs of life. One slap and the scrawny man killed a person! He killed Zoro’s man with one move! The other two of Zoro’s men were horrified as they unlocked the second iron door and it was too late for them to run. Bang! A man with the height of a dwarf came out of the second room. He headbutted one of the two men, crushing his ribs easily. “Zoro, are you in trouble? Why did you release us? Do you know that once we are released, we will go on a rampage, and not even you or Casius can stop us?” The dwarf wiped the blood off his forehead with his hand and licked it. More men were being released from their rooms. In just a short moment, more than a dozen of them filled the hall. Each of them had a terrifying feature, resembling a demon from hell. “Mon
Everyone heard the voice, and they turned around to look in the same direction. It was Kaze who spoke, looking calm and expressionless. “They are with you?!” Zoro narrowed his eyes, overflowing with murderous intent. The moment he asked, he already knew it was a waste of time. If Kaze was able to command them, then he must have called them here. Zoro’s heart skipped a beat when he realized the situation. He already felt pressure facing Kaze alone. Now with two more of Kaze’s men in the fray, who were able to get through the defenses of Bronze Sparrow without alarming him and were mysteriously powerful, things looked dire for Zoro. Would this be the end for him? For a moment there, Zoro felt scared. However, he started with nothing and rose to become a kingpin of the underworld, so his fortitude was far stronger than ordinary men. He discarded the thought and bellowed coldly, “Kill those two! I’ll pay 10 million for each of their heads!” “Kill them!” As soon
