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
Zoro shouted. He lifted the broadsword one of his men had left behind with his foot and jumped forward like a leopard, darting toward Kaze. While he was still in mid-air, he raised his arm high and swung the sword down at Kaze’s face with a formidable force. “Kaze Lee, have a taste of my strongest slash!” Zoro peered down at Kaze condescendingly in mid-air as he bellowed with power and confidence. His anger fueled him to make the most powerful slash he had ever made. Even though there was no audience to witness his strongest attack, he believed even Kaze with his monstrous capabilities could not take the slash. Swoosh! The blade glared and swung down like a silver meteor, attempting to crush Kaze and consume him. Kaze stood expressionlessly. The moment Zoro jumped at him with the sword, he also lifted another sword off the floor with his foot. With a twist of his wrist, he performed an upper slash to counter the downward slash. Clank! When the blades clashed, spar
Clank! Zoro’s blade broke in front of his eyes, while Kaze’s remained intact. The two swords were simply picked from the weapon rack. The materials or methods of forging were exactly the same. Yet only the one Zoro wielded broke. In other words, Kaze could turn the simplest weapon into a godly killing device. The thought only lasted for a moment in Zoro’s mind because he was distracted by what happened next. After Kaze’s sword cut through Zoro’s, it continued downward with the same momentum. “NO!” Zoro screamed at the top of his lungs. He had never felt so pressured before, so pressured that he started crying blood. The last thought he had in mind was to beg for mercy. The sword slashed downward without delay, drawing a perfectly straight line in between Zoro’s brows. Kaze turned around while sheathing his sword. A few steps later, Zoro’s body split in half and fell on the floor. A few more twitches later, both parts of the body started to bleed from the perfe
Hamlin nodded. Up until this point, he had realized Kaze’s background and identity were more than met the eye. He was not the live-in husband who got kicked out of his wife’s family in Lilyrose and came to Riverbank to seek refuge. “Mr. Lee, what are your thoughts on Bronze Sparrow after this?” Hamlin asked again to learn of Kaze’s opinion. “Zoro is just the general manager, the boss on the front. The real boss is Casius Weather and this place can provide him a massive profit annually.” He was trying to warn Kaze of Casius’ retaliation. What Hamlin did not know was that this whole conflict with Bronze Sparrow was actually orchestrated by Casius to get rid of Kaze. “Since the boss of Bronze Sparrow is dead, then this place is mine.” Kaze smiled as he took his phone out for a call. “Kaze?” Miru’s voice came from the phone. She sounded slightly baffled. She had arrived in Riverbank for some time now and had been concentrating on the turf war of the underworld. She
The police were in a difficult spot because the Viper’s Den was a pain in the neck. Miru came forward and lifted the cloth, revealing Luis’ body under. “This is Joel’s killer!” “Woah!”The Viper’s Den members were bewildered by the sudden loss of Luis. They had seen a photo of Luis before, so they could identify the body as his. In the crowd, Jude’s confidante grimaced and said angrily, “Who are you? Do you think we will buy your story just because you put the blame on Luis? “I thought someone else killed Joel. Luis was just hypnotized.” Miru glanced at the speaker with a raised brow. “Oh? Says who?” Jude’s confidante said curtly, “Zoro, the GM of Bronze Sparrow said so. We gave him a day to catch the killer, or we would attack his establishment. “He’s a well-known underground kingpin of Riverbank. He won’t lie to us.” The agent stirred up trouble. He knew that Jude’s intention was for Bronze Sparrow to make Kaze the scapegoat. That way, Jude could get back at
“I need your guidance on the ring fight against Jude three days later. “Should I refuse or fight Jude?” Hannah asked Kaze for his opinion. Kaze replied indifferently, “Since Jude wants to make a comeback through the ring, just give him what he wishes for. He can get over it soon enough. “Don’t sit back and do nothing in the days leading up to the fight, though. He might try something.“You and Collier should clip Jude’s wings and take away his assets and territories. Leave him with nothing. “Even better, drive him to desperation.”Kaze’s voice was icy. Zoro abducted Rose, forcing Kaze to kill him at Bronze Sparrow. There was no doubt Jude played a part in the kidnapping. Kaze was not going to drop the matter. “Got it.” Hannah nodded and said, “Our biggest problem for our plans with the Viper’s Den is not Jude, but Casius. “He has been active in the West State, befriending the senior members there to dip his fingers in the South River State Branch. To get what he w
