Faith exploded in fury. “You little punk! What gives you the right to talk to me like that?! Who do you think you are?”“Smack.”No one expected it. Kaze stepped forward and slapped Faith across the face.The slap left her, and other ladies completely stunned. Even the bodyguards, who used to see Faith flaunt her power, stood frozen in shock.Did he just slap Faith?Whoever he was, did he know what he was doing?Buffy's mouth was wide open. She knew Kaze had guts; after all, he slapped her father in public yesterday without a second thought. However, Buffy still did not expect Kaze to act so recklessly.Kaze casually shook off his hand and said, "Just because I know you're about to end up in a coma like Buffy’s mother.“You must’ve messed up your body while training years ago, right? “You've been suffering ever since, and your body has weakened. You feel numb and cold all the time, and your period pain is unbearable. Not to mention about getting pregnant.“You can't go a
Hearing Buffy’s words, Faith froze. She had just realized that Buffy could not possibly know this secret about her.Not even her husband, Jude, knew the truth about her.It was her deepest secret, and Kaze revealed it with a single glance.She glared at Kaze with suspicion, but mostly with murderous intent. “Who are you? Did someone send you to get close to me? “What’s your real goal?”Faith did not believe that Kaze could simply figure out her deepest secret.After all, even the specialists she had seen were not able to detect this by a look.Kaze found her paranoia amusing. “Don’t flatter yourself,” he said calmly. “If it wasn’t for Buffy, I wouldn’t have come near you at all, let alone tried to get close to you. Don’t overestimate your influence.”Faith ground her teeth in frustration and demanded. “No one told you anything, so how did you figure it out?”“If I said it’s just my skill and capabilities, you wouldn’t believe me, would you?” Kaze’s tone turned cold. “Yo
“This is like winning the lottery for you! Not only are you ungrateful, but you're using this to threaten her. You're just being ridiculous!”“You know a little medicine and thought you're a big deal?"Several of the noble ladies who normally adored and respected Faith, jumped in to attack Kaze.Faith finally calmed down, staring coldly at Kaze. “Kid, I don’t know how you figured out my health issues.“But they're right, you're just some guy with basic medical skills.“You're young, how good could your skills really be?“I'm not like some gullible fool who would be tricked by your vague statements.“Even if what you're saying is true, so what?“With my connections and wealth, what specialist couldn't I hire? Let me tell you, I've already contacted one of the three greatest doctors of the West State, Holfman Wright. He is on his way to Riverbank City.“His skills are legendary. He can bring people back from the brink of death. What illness can't he cure?“So, you can stop drea
“I’m not here to talk about treatment today. I’m just reminding you: if you don’t want to die, stay away from Buffy.“My stepdaughter may be beautiful, but she’s not for just anyone to touch.“If you recklessly involve yourself in the Gwakes’ affairs, you won’t see your death coming.“And you’ll drag your family down with you!”Faith’s voice was cold.Kaze looked at her calmly. “Are you threatening me?”“I’m simply stating a fact.”Faith glared down at him. “But if you insist on taking it as a threat, so be it.“And to be clear, when I say your family, I mean every last one of them.“You should know that chasing beauty can be dangerous.”As a member of the Krads and the matriarch of the Gwakes, Faith could care less about someone like Kaze.The fact that she had even bothered to speak this much felt like she was showing rare patience today.“Chasing beauty is dangerous?“Well, today I’d like to see just how dangerous it can be.” Kaze smiled, and before anyone could react,
Faith's lips twitched as her eyes darkened with anger.She swiftly stepped back to the wall, reaching for a large, double-barreled shotgun disguised as a decorative piece. Though it looked ornamental, it was always loaded, ready to fire.Click, click.Faith adjusted the shotgun and aimed it straight at Kaze.Even though she had not fired yet, the sight alone made Buffy turn pale. “Kaze, get down!” Faith was an avid shooter and frequently visited gun clubs, well-aware of the devastating power of a shotgun, often referred to as a “cannon.”Boom!Kaze did not even blink. Just before Faith pulled the trigger, he kicked a nearby bodyguard, sending him flying in front of the gun’s muzzle. Bang!The deafening sound pierced everyone’s ears.The bodyguard hit by the shot was engulfed in smoke, blood splattering as he was thrown backward.When he landed, his body was riddled with bullet holes.“Damn it!” Seeing that she had killed her own man, Faith went into a frenzy. Her
At that moment, Buffy felt a wave of relief wash over her.“What are you standing around for? Get in the car.” Kaze called out.Faith quickly jumped into the car. Moments later, the vehicle was already turning around. As the sound of the car faded in the distance, Faith finally mustered the courage to stand up inside the villa.“Useless!“Every one of you is absolutely trash!” Her anger flared as she stormed over to the bodyguards, kicking each one with fury.“The Krads have kept you around for years, and you all claim to be among the elite. This one proudly says he can take on ten guys, that one says he can take on twenty.“But when it came down to it, none of you could even handle some random punk off the street! “And because of you, I nearly got killed by that little brat!“What am I even paying you for?“If I had died today, I’d make sure every one of you idiots would be buried with me!” Faith’s face was contorted with rage, cursing like a street shrew. She wa
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Jude’s voice returned.“Faith, is that punk you mentioned named Kaze?”Faith gritted her teeth and nodded. “That’s right, it’s that jerk, Kaze!”As soon as she said it, she realized something was off.“Wait, Jude, how do you know his name? Don’t tell me he really...”Faith’s eyes widened.Jude's voice turned cold. “Yeah, I saw him last night at Drake Gym. Not only did he beat up several of my men, but he slapped me in front of everyone and took Buffy away.”Faith’s jaw dropped in disbelief as Jude recounted what had happened.Her expression quickly darkened.It was true Kaze slapped Jude.With Jude’s temper, for Kaze to still be walking around freely after pulling a stunt like that and even show up at her place with Buffy, spoke volumes about Kaze’s capabilities.“Jude, that guy is obviously just someone Buffy brought in as a decoy. You can tell he’s broke just by looking at him!“Does he have some sort
“Kaze, turn around and head to the airport!”They are on their way back from Blossom Creek to Wyomspring.Buffy, sitting in the passenger seat, broke the silence. “I'll book the next flight to Ridgesouth for you. From there, you can head to Geranium or Millstown, or even go abroad if you have your passport.“I’ll transfer ten million to an offshore account for you.“Once the heat dies down, you can return.“Now, give me your ID.”Buffy began searching for flights on her phone.Kaze kept driving, showing no sign of handing over his ID.“You asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend, didn’t you? “Now that we’re done, you’re just going to throw me away?”Kaze smirked. “Ten million? That's my going rate these days?”Buffy felt a surge of frustration. “Are you an idiot or are you just pretending?“You beat up Faith earlier today. She won’t let this go. Do you even know who she is?“She’s the precious daughter of the Krads, one of the wealthiest families in Westeros. Your family
