Leron did not stop dashing even after he pulled the trigger. Bang! He slightly tilted his shotgun and fired another shot. Another barrage of shotgun pellets followed swiftly, like a swarm of hornets, flying through the air rapidly and aiming at Kaze’s left. Kaze’s front and sides were all locked by the shotgun pellets, and the only way left for him was to retreat backward. Yet no human was faster than bullets. In fact, Kaze’s back was also shut off, leaving him nowhere to escape or dodge. Leron’s ability to wield the shotgun with such precision and skill was a testament to his terrifying capabilities. Kaze knew he was in danger and facing a shotgun with just his fists and body was foolish, like hitting a stone with an egg. As though he realized Kaze was caught between a rock and a hard place, Leron smirked and said, “Kaze Lee, I’ll make sure you die absolutely!” As Leon spoke, Kaze moved. He tiptoed and jumped high into the sky, reaching almost two meters. Bang!
In the blink of an eye, several blasts went off between Kaze and Leron, causing dust and shrapnel to scatter in the air. The three bullets exploded before they even hit Kaze. Leron widened his eyes in shock when he saw his bullets were stopped. His pupils shrank and his expression turned heavy. He did not expect Kaze to turn mere chunks of concrete into projectiles that could rival a gun’s bullet, effortlessly countering his attack. On top of that, Kaze escaped his passive stand and stood on equal grounds as Leon.His hand that fired the chunks of concrete was as powerful as a gun! “Why don’t you try my handgun’s power?” Kaze smiled as he continued to flick smaller chunks of concrete. The projectiles tore through the air itself and aimed at Leron. Bang! Bang! Bang! Leron knew the projectiles could rival bullets. He dared not be careless. Given their proximity, he dared not perform any dodging maneuvers for it would expose himself to more of Kaze’s attacks. He quickly
“I’m fine.” Kaze simply waved at Hannah. He pulled his buzzing phone out to have a look and his expression shifted. “You take care of things here. I have to go now.” He then called Conan and said, “I need a car right now.” …Meanwhile, a sapphire blue BMW X7 was sprinting on the freeway, traveling from Lilyrose to Riverbank. In the driver seat was a woman dressed professionally—it was Snow. She was traveling to Riverbank to meet up with Kaze and she was 10 km away from the meeting place. She had a mask on and her eyes on the road, concentrating on her driving. Her grip on the steering wheel was tight and her hands looked slightly stiff. Her unusual movements showed that she was not as calm as she looked. In the passenger seat sat a woman with short hair and a mask. She appeared slightly tanned compared to Snow. It was Dove, who had previously visited Lilyrose with May and learned a harsh lesson from Kaze.Dove was the security captain of the Frost family and May’s m
“Besides, Madam and Snow are being suspected and investigated, and they are in danger. We are the ones who are responsible for their safety! I am telling her these because I want to keep her safe and for her to know what we are doing!” Dove’s bad habit was being bossy. She did not even show respect to Bass, an elder who had been serving the Frost family for decades. “Dove, know your place!” Bass did not shy away from the argument. He bellowed, “Have you forgotten what Madam said to us when we left the house? “She wants us to listen to Snow. Whatever she asks, we do! Why are you asking Snow to listen to you instead? You must have forgotten your position, that’s why you are so bossy! “Madam took you in when you were young, raised you, and sent you abroad to study. She made you the security captain when you came back. “This time, however, you haven’t done anything to contribute to the matter and you are ordering Snow around? What is your intention?” Bass bellowed, his face flu
“Dove, you should know that Jet and Madam are on opposing sides. Now that Jet has Madam’s weakness, he won’t hold back anymore and will certainly give her a hard time! “She’s being imprisoned now, cut off from all contact. She’s defenseless against Jet! In order to clear the name and allow Snow and the family to have a spot in the bigger family, Snow must do something from her side! “That’s why I agree to Snow meeting with Mr. Lee at Riverbank! Mr. Lee defeated me but I don’t hate him, he’s capable and powerful, and he might be the only one who can help Snow and her family solve this problem! “Didn’t you hear how Madam praised him? She sees him as her future son-in-law!” Snow had stayed quiet throughout the argument but when Bass spoke about Kaze, her ears turned as red as a cherry. However, Darcy’s image flashed in her mind and a shadow of gloominess descended upon her. She quickly put her unusual reaction away and said, “Bass, is that what my mother said? She really said
The argument in the car grew fierce by the minute, and the conflict escalated. “You’re going to slap me?!” Dove scoffed and turned around, pointing her gun at Bass. She shouted, “Bass, you old bastard, lay a finger on me and I will make you regret it! “It’s no longer the sixties, you can’t solve things with violence anymore! Believe me when I say I will put a bullet in your head and stop you from barking like a dog!” Bass was trembling in anger. He was not afraid of Dove’s gun in the confined space but he did not expect her to point the gun at him. Snow could not let the conflict escalate anymore. She wanted to stop the car but was afraid that an abrupt stop might cause the gun to misfire, so she gradually stepped on the brake. “Dove, put the gun away! Bass might have raised his voice at you but you shouldn’t point the gun at him! He’s our senior. Where are your manners and respect?!” Snow would only be quiet and obedient in front of Kaze. In front of others, especial
“I was trying to dissolve the conflict and neglected your feelings. I am sorry. Please put your gun down. We are on the same side, let’s talk this through.” Seeing Snow lowering herself in front of Dove, Bass was smart enough to know he had to de-escalate the situation too. “Dove, since Snow has spoken, I apologize to you as well. I was acting like a senior just now. “Snow was right. We are all on the same side and it’s important for us to stay together at this sensitive time. We must do whatever we can to clear Madam’s name and foil Jet’s plans. “If we fight among ourselves, it will make us the laughing stock.” Snow nodded in agreement. “Fine. Since you two apologized, I’ll let this slip.” Dove’s arrogance grew as the two of them submitted. She kept her gun away, but she did not try to de-escalate the situation. Just as Snow and Bass sighed a breath of relief, Dove scoffed. “Old Man, I accept your apology but I have to say you are still too naive. Clear Madam’s name? F
Although she did not know who Dove was texting, Snow had a hunch of what was going to happen. She was close to the promised location to meet with Kaze but it was still early. She quietly slid her phone next to her thigh, close to the door, and called Kaze, but hung up before the call connected so it would not produce any noise. She believed that with her and Kaze’s tacit understanding, he could grasp her message. Vroom! After a few missed calls to Kaze, Snow put her phone away just as she heard cars coming up from behind. Through the rearview mirror, Snow saw around a dozen black cars chasing after hers. Dove had a look through the side mirror. She too was alarmed and enraged. “Damn it. Mr. Winchester and his men are here! “Snow, you should have listened to me and stayed in Lilyrose! They must have found out that you were missing and came after us! You got me into this mess!” she bellowed, shifting the blame on Snow. Snow and Bass ignored the crazy woman but their exp
