Dove had been waiting for this. She was surprised and delighted. “Thank you, Mr. Winchester, I will do my best!” She continued to speak coquettishly, especially when she emphasized the word “do”. Those who knew what she meant knew what she would do. Wind then looked at Bass with a grim expression. He said coldly, “Bass, Dove said you insulted me and Jet in the car.” Bass stepped up and stood in front of Snow. He looked at Wind confidently and said, “Wind, I am just speaking the truth, it’s not an insult at all. “Jet did not only frame Madam May, but he also usurped the family’s power. Aren’t you helping him with that? You are just an outsider he put in charge, yet you helped him hurt the lives of the family members.” He pointed at Wind and bellowed, “Wind Winchester, don’t forget your place! You are just a servant to Jet and Snow here is the direct descendant! “You are a servant and she is the master! Yet you brought this many men here to stop us—this is insubordination! Wh
“The old man, Thadeus Frost, is going down and the family belongs to Jet now. No one can save you and your mother anymore! “Even if I fuck you now, no one in the Frost family would say a word! Don’t even bother to test it! Sleep with me and I will speak for you in front of Jet, making sure he releases your mother!” Wind might be a short man but the arrogance he carried was massive. Snow’s expression turned grim. She said heavily, “Wind, you really think Jet can take full control of the family? It won’t last! The truth will prevail, my mother is innocent! Once Jet loses power, what are you going to do?” Wind scoffed with disdain, “Snow, you really think Jet is going to give you a chance to turn things around? “Oh, I forgot to tell you that the two guys from your family that I arranged to keep an eye on you are killed. I bet it was Bass who did it. “The two of them are your family members and you killed them just so you can run. You are as ruthless as your mother!” Snow’s e
“Snow!” Shocked, Bass moved to shield Snow and simultaneously flicked a pebble from his hand with a sharp motion. The pebble struck Wind’s wrist. The pain stung him and slightly changed the shot’s trajectory. Bang! Bass was shot in the stomach. He cried in pain as he fell to the ground, seemingly disabled. “Damn it! The old man is fast!” Wind rubbed his bruised wrist and said angrily, “But that’s all you can do! You are fast, but not as fast as a bullet! The expert who served the Frost family was shot down by me!” He went closer to Bass and stepped on the wound, causing the stomach to bleed profusely. “Wind, stop it! Don’t hurt Bass!” Snow shouted as her eyes teared up. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and in this case, Bass. Compared to Dove, who turned on Snow, Bass protected her with his life. “What’s wrong? Feeling bad? It’s easy trying to deal with old fools like him. No matter how strong he is, all I need to do is shoot you and this loyal dog will jump i
“I like a feisty woman! It makes me feel great when I conquer your body!” As he spoke, Wind got up and tried to reach out to Snow with his rough hands. “What are you doing?!” Snow immediately retreated, afraid and angry. “What am I doing? I want to fuck you, that’s what! Don’t run, or I will smash Bass’ head into pieces!” Wind said fiercely. Upon hearing his words, a few of his men pulled their guns out and aimed at Bass. Snow was stunned on the spot. Her face turned pale as her eyes showed nothing but despair. “Hahaha!” Seeing that Snow seemed to have accepted her grim fate, Wind burst into wicked laughter. His hands grew impatient and eager. “I assure you if your paws touch her, you will die immediately!” Right before Wind could lay his hands on Snow, a frosty voice came from beyond the crowd. The moment Snow heard the voice, her body shook and her pounding heart finally rested. She regained her confidence because she knew she was safe when he arrived. Wind fr
The burly men all around and Dove, who was on the ground, were horrified. Kaze was powerful. He shut them up as soon as he arrived.Dove watched as Kaze walked over to her. She lifted her chin with a struggle and cried desperately, “Mr. Winchester, he is Kaze! Snow came here to seek his help. “Bass has nothing on him. May is counting on him to make a comeback. “You know, Venom, ranked second on the hitman’s list? He can get him here with one phone call.“Quick! Kill him! “Otherwise, none of us will walk out of here alive.”A man of action, Wind drew his weapon and pulled the trigger on Kaze. “Bang!” The moment the barrel fired, Kaze shifted slightly, then came a scream. One of Wind’s minions had a gaping hole in his chest. The minion fell back headfirst. Furious and shocked, Wind let out an angry cry and fired another shot. “Bang!” By then, Kaze was in Wind’s face. He slapped the firearm out of Wind’s hand and smacked him away. Wind crashed into his minion, tak
“I am Wind Winchester, Mr. Lee. I am a loyal subordinate.“A few members of the Frost family have died, and the evidence is pointing at Ms. Frost’s mother. Hence, we put her under house arrest while we launched an internal investigation. I was sent to Lilyrose to watch over Ms. Frost too. “We are all acting on Jet’s orders. I wouldn’t disrespect Ms. Frost under other circumstances.” “Jet?” Kaze fell into contemplation. “Have you heard of Mr. Frost’s good name too, Mr. Lee?” Overjoyed, Wind said, “He is part of the Riverbank Seven. “Mr. Frost returned to the family to get on top of the family issues. He is currently in power. “He has gained more authority than what he holds in Riverbank.” Kaze stood there without a word while Wind went on. “I have to admit that you’re one of the strongest I’ve met. “But you need to get one thing straight. Strength alone won’t get you anywhere. “It’s all about family connections, wealth, and power. “I’m sure you have heard about Le
“What makes you think I’ll let you take Snow away?” Kaze asked nonchalantly while slapping Wind on the same cheek. “You!” Wind’s eyes widened. The mention of Jet’s name was not enough for Kaze to release Wind. Instead, Kaze refused to back down and even insulted him. Feeling the sharp pain on his skin, Wind gritted his teeth. Dove drew close and said sternly, “Let Mr. Winchester go now, Lee! “Sure, you can fight, but you can do squat since you took your wife’s last name.“Who are you to be rude and attack Mr. Winchester?“If you don’t want to get you and your wife’s family killed, you better get down on your knees and apologize to Mr. Winchester. Let him do his job and take Snow away.“By refusing to do so, no one can save—” Before Dove could finish, Kaze snapped an icy look that made her blood run cold. It struck Dove that Kaze was no doormat. He single-handedly defeated them all, not hesitating to pull the trigger on a dozen men. “I remember you.” Kaze said, “Y
“You’re dead, Lee!” Losing his mind, Wind yelled angrily and pounced on Kaze. He tried to grab a weapon from the pile to shoot Kaze. Not giving him a chance to fight back, Kaze fired another round. The Desert Eagle had the power to blow Wind’s elbow apart. Wind grimaced in pain and tumbled to the ground. Gripped by fear, the remaining minions fell to their knees subserviently. As Wind’s whimpers trailed off, Kaze said aloofly, “If I wanted your life, you would’ve been dead by now.” Wind gathered his thoughts and realized how foolish he was to challenge Kaze. Kaze broke him, and Wind could no longer retaliate against him. Wind struggled to get up and kneeled. “Answer my questions.”Kaze looked at Wind from above, his voice callous. “Don’t try to lie to me. You had your chance. I’m not giving you another pass.” “Yes, of course. Ask away! I will tell you everything.” Wind shuddered. “Save the nonsense.” Kaze kicked Wind and asked, “Did Jet put Mrs. Frost under h
“How dare those men hijack the plane and take Kaze. They must be punished…” Despite her grumbles, Snow grew anxious. “Given Mr. Lee’s capabilities, he won’t be hurt.” The agents around her tried to comfort her. They believed she was being too nervous. “I know, but we as subordinates have failed him by allowing this to happen. We have to do our best to make up for the mistake, and not rely on Mr. Lee to get out because he can.” Snow drowned in self-blame and regretted not being able to help. It was her negligence that allowed the hijacking to happen. “But there’s nothing you can do now. It’s late. Even the hijackers need to rest. They won’t do anything yet.” “It’s because the hijackers need to rest that we have to hurry and beat them to it. That’s the only way to solve this matter!” “But we’ve searched high and low and didn’t find anything. No one knows where they have gone. Even if they transported the passengers via buses, we didn’t see any tracks.” The agents discu
Kaze breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly went over to Miguel and pressed his hands with the gun down so that it would not misfire. “Good job.” “Thanks.” Miguel curled his lips into a nervous smile. He frequently trained in the gym and mixed martial arts but had never encountered any real-life incident before, thus being inexperienced. Fortunately, his mentality was stronger than the others and allowed him to act accordingly. “I’ll be taking the gun. This is self-defense, you won’t be charged and you won’t need to take responsibility,” Kaze said. Miguel’s pale face looked relieved. “What should we do now? Are there more of them?” Miguel dared not let go of the gun, worried there might be more enemies. “I’ve counted the numbers and this guy here should be the last one.” He then took the gun from Miguel’s hands. “Really? Gosh! That was crazy! I was so terrified!” Miguel finally loosened up and let his instinct take over. His heart was pounding so fast that it
Manson came over and saw the mercenaries lying in their own puddle of blood. The gore shocked him and made him sick. He tried his best to hold back the urge to throw up as it would attract attention. “Don’t look if you can’t take it! Don’t make things worse!” “Yeah! Professor! Grow a pair of balls!” “I have never seen dead bodies like this before!” he explained with a flush of embarrassment on his face. “Can we go out now and run away?” The hostages were eager to leave as things had settled down outside. They thought the danger was over. A dead mercenary was inside the container with them and they were still horrified. Once the others found out about this, the hostages would be shot to death. “If you want to die, be my guest. The moment you step out, you’ll be shot!” Callahan said as he looked at the others scornfully. One of the hostages had already put his hand on the handle of the door and was ready to dash out, but he quickly pulled his hand back after listening
“Tsk. Hold on.” Vexed, the man clicked his tongue and then waved at his colleague. “Come here. Someone fainted. Help me get him out.” The man wanted to take the professor out of the container. Manson’s heart pounded as he listened to the man. He was afraid he might be exposed, but there was no turning back now—he had to play along. Kaze stood behind the door, calming his breath down to lower his presence. “Get back. Stay away from the door. If anyone gets close, don’t blame me for being rough,” said the man as he unlocked the container. He opened the door and saw a number of hostages still sleeping. He then looked at the professor on the floor. He went closer to nudge him but did not get a response. It seemed like the professor needed medical attention. “Come on. Help me get him out.” The other man outside the container was on edge, looking as if he would pull the trigger at the slightest movement. “Why don’t we do it?” Callahan and Miguel volunteered. “You two
“It’s freaking troublesome.” “Boss, don’t worry about it. We’ll get an update tomorrow.” “Yeah. It’s late. Get some rest.” Tiguan’s men told him to get some rest and not worry so much. A few of them were already snoring on the chair. Tiguan sighed and killed the cigarette. He then closed his eyes to get some rest, too. The container that Kaze was in fell into silence once more. No one dared to make any noise but they all looked at Kaze, hoping to find out about his plans. Kaze’s eyes remained fixed on the window and showed no intention of revealing his thoughts. Miguel and Callahan were annoyed by the other hostages. “If you people want to get out of here alive, you better cooperate or come up with your own idea. No one is responsible for saving you.”“Yeah. I don’t want you guys to turn on us after we do all the heavy lifting. It will cost us our lives and you people won’t even be grateful.” Miguel’s tone was sarcastic because he disliked how the others looked at t
Kaze read the hostages’ minds and refused to be used. He wanted to leave but not under such circumstances. “That’s not true. We just don’t have the skills for this kind of situation. You guys are stronger, of course, you should be in the front,” said the man in glasses and a suit. A hint of sharpness gleamed in his eyes. Miguel knew what the man was planning, either. “That’s some plan you have there. You are just trying to use us to escape this place and no matter what happens, you’ll win.” “That’s not it! I just want everyone to stand together and get out of this place. I’ve never thought of using anyone!” the man argued, trying to look innocent. Even a monkey knew what he was planning, yet no one dared to speak up because they would benefit from it too. “Why don’t you guys think of something? If you need our help, we’ll help,” said another middle-aged gentleman who looked more just and fair, as if he could lead the group. “Then what is your plan?” Kaze suddenly wante
The hostages were locked up in the containers. Some of them were elites in their own field while some were ordinary people with average income, yet all of them got into trouble when they boarded the plane. Most of them could not accept their fate. Yet they dared not defy or resist the mercenaries. When things started to calm down, they broke down in tears, weeping in silence as resentment consumed them. Kaze sat down at a clean corner that allowed him to look outside the window. The window was dirty but at least he could see outside. The space inside the container was filled with people sitting closely, offering comfort to one another. They were aware they were just temporarily safe in this container. No one knew what the mercenaries would do to them at the next moment. “My parents must be worried. I said I would call them when I land but now I can’t even get in touch,” Barney muttered as he sat beside Kaze. He too looked outside the window, his feelings mixed. He watc
Kaze thought of what he had overheard in the toilet. If he told the hostages about that, they would probably panic. “It’s nothing. They are just going to separate us into different rooms or containers. They said the buses would be disposed of,” he said. He did not want to reveal too much because it would cause panic. Once the hostages knew their lives were on the line, things might spiral out of control. The mercenaries could kill a few of them to make an example, and none of the hostages would dare to cause problems anymore. Kaze kept it a secret because he wanted to protect the people. “That’s it?” “Is there anything else? How many men are there? What is their plan? Who are they looking for?” “We want to know because we want to survive. This isn't our problem—we just got caught up in it.” The hostages looked at Kaze, their eyes filled with worry. They felt aggrieved because they should not be caught in such a huge problem. “I don’t know either.” No matter how m
“There’s a room there. Get in.” The mercenary pointed his gun at the mother and son, which led them to look at Kaze nervously, seemingly asking for help. “What do you want?” The mother was nervous. She clutched her son’s hand tightly, nearly making him cry, but she reacted quickly enough to cover her son’s mouth to prevent him from doing so. “All women must go into that room. You go in now,” the mercenary explained. He did not want the woman to get the wrong idea. “You people won’t hurt me, right?” the mother asked, worried that she might be ravaged. “We are not into MILF,” said the other mercenary who was escorting Kaze, indirectly assuring the mother. Kaze shot a glance at the mother and nodded at her. “They told us they were going to separate us, so there’s nothing to worry about,” he said, worried that the mother and son would not cooperate. The mother then carried her son and followed the other mercenary into the room. It was called a room but it was actually ju
