“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
“Is there a car show today? Why didn’t I hear about it?” Sky sprung up. “Come on. Even if we can’t afford it, we should window-shop.” He was quick to get dressed. While waiting for Sky outside his room, Kaze got a call from Don. “Mr. Lee, when we arrested Joy two days ago, you rescued Sandy Queen from an illegal surrogacy ring. Her family contacted us, saying that they wanted to thank you in person.” Kaze remembered the pretty girl from two days ago. “It’s good that her family has found her. They don’t need to thank me. I have to go out now. That’s it for now, Don.” Don was on cloud nine that he was on a first-name basis with Kaze. Kaze thought nothing of the matter. He had a long history of fighting in foreign lands. He had killed and saved many. If he was thanked for every life he saved, he would not have time for anything else. Sky had cleaned himself up, and they left home. They caught a ride to get to Taurus Automobiles. Taurus Automobiles was the place Hun
“We are here to collect the Ferrari 488.” With both hands in his pants pockets, Samus said cockily. Celine clung to Samus’ arm and simpered. “Sky is my classmate, Samus. I didn’t know that you knew each other.” She worked part-time as a car show model there.Celine got to know Samus and Deborah when they came to collect their cars. Samus wanted to pick up the girl while Celine was in it for the money. They hit it off right away. “Sky is my cousin, Celine. He has always followed me around.” Samus looked arrogantly at Sky and acted like he knew better. He asked, “Why are you here, Sky? You should be home, focusing on your studies during your vacation. Why are you here with the dummy?” Sky dared not say anything even though Samus lectured him. Celine could finally hold her head up. The other day at Lily Garden Hotel, Celine mistook Kaze for someone important in the military and kicked her man, Thomas, to the curb to suck up to Sky. Sky did not give her the time of
Celine told the incident at Lily Garden Hotel. “He had me and my classmates fooled in the beginning, but I caught on later. He’s too young to be high up in military service.“Thomas’ dad, the manager of Lily Garden Hotel, is an idiot to be deceived by such crude lies. “I called to sound Sky out last night. He must know that he couldn’t keep up with the lies anymore, so he came clean.” Celine tried her best to show Samus that she was smart. She believed that since Samus came from a rich and powerful family, he must prefer women who were smart and beautiful. Celine wanted to show that she was not some eye candy. Even though Sky told her the truth, Celine made it sound like she saw through the deception. Samus complimented her, “We wouldn’t have known if you didn’t tell us, Celine. The dummy even pretended to be the owner of Lily Garden Hotel. You were intelligent to see through him.”“He’s a con artist. He has caused us nothing but problems.” “He’s a nobody in our family
“Hahaha!” Samus and the others burst out laughing. “Who do you think you are, Kaze? Are you trying to take the car from me? Dream on!” “It’s not like he can afford it even if he takes the car from you. He was so embarrassed by what he said, so he spoke without thinking.” The party threw sarcastic remarks at Kaze. They were pleased to see Kaze make a fool of himself. “Stop it, Kaze. Come on. Let’s just leave.Sky pulled Kaze, but the latter would not budge. “You are shameless. Even when we humiliate you, you still refuse to leave.” Celine scoffed. It was bad enough that Sky’s family had no money, but he was related to a disgrace of a brother-in-law too. Celine was relieved that she did not date Sky, or she would end up the laughingstock. Samus was a better choice anyway. She clung tightly to Samus’ arm. “You don’t know him well enough, Celine. He’s shameless to mooch off the Quints.” Deborah folded her arms and sneered at Kaze. “I reserved a Maserati Quattroport
The security guards were hesitant. The shop attendant said, “Don't just stand there. That's Vincent from the Hanser family. Just do what he says. He’ll protect you from any consequences.” Oh. He was Vincent Hanser. They could do no wrong by getting in Vincent’s good graces. The two security guards whipped out their batons and lunged at Kaze. Sky turned white as a sheet. “Stop!” An angry voice came from behind everybody. The two security guards shuddered in fear at the voice. With their batons hanging in the air, they froze. The others turned their heads to the source of the voice. A plump middle-aged man in a suit approached in rage. “Mr. Dot!” the shop attendant cried. William Dot asked sternly, “What are you doing? Why is my security team hitting a customer?” The shop attendant made a wry face while thinking of an excuse. Kaze uttered curtly, “Mr. Dot, right? Is this how you treat customers? I expect a satisfactory answer from you.” “Sir, I apologize fo
The voice was icy. Tension rose in the showroom. Everybody looked up in shock. A slender man with menacing eyes turned up at the door. His face bore a faint bruise. Kaze was not surprised to see the man. He said indifferently, “If you were late another minute, I would’ve trashed Taurus Automobiles, Hunter.” Hunter was speechless, remembering the event that took place last night. He nodded at Kaze to express his apology before taking large strides over. “Is this your backup, Kaze?” Samus and the others smirked at Kaze, not taking Hunter seriously. An ingratiating voice came from behind. “Oh, Mr. Hunter, sir. What brings you here?” Shuddering at the sight of Hunter, William rushed to greet him. Hunter, the general manager of Taurus Automobiles, held a higher post than a showroom manager. William was more terrified that Hunter worked for Cronus. A man of his stature had only heard rumors of Cronus, the big boss of Taurus Automobiles.As Hunter approached Willi
The slap left Vincent dumbfounded. The others were stunned too. Vincent introduced himself, saying that he was a member of the Hansers, a prestigious family. Why did Hunter hit him? “I don’t think I have offended you, sir. Why did you attack me?” Dumbstruck, Hunter covered his face and glared at Hunter angrily. Hunter scoffed. “You didn’t offend me, but you crossed K.” “Kaze?” Vincent stared at Kaze in disbelief. Hunter humiliated him in public with a slap for dissing Kaze. It did not make sense. It was no secret that Kaze was a dimwit and a liar. Vincent grimaced and asked angrily, “Are you fooled by the idiot, sir?” “That’s right, sir. The dummy is the son-in-law of our family. He loves to impersonate important people to scam others. Don’t be fooled by him!” “He pretended to be a military commander, but we saw through him.” Deborah, Samus, and Celine backed Vincent up. They taunted Kaze moments ago. A heavyweight like Hunter arrived on the scene and too
