“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
Snow fell into contemplation before uttering, “He’s right, Chairman Lee. My mother belongs to the Clarity family. “But you should know that it isn’t rainbows and butterflies in a family like the Clarities. My mother is not on good terms with my grandfather’s side of the family.“I don’t have a good idea about the history, but I know that she didn’t turn to my grandfather’s family for help when struggling to run the family business after my dad’s passing.” Snow’s father passed ahead of his time. May raised Snow all these years while sorting out family issues. “Don’t kill me, sir! I’m telling the truth!” Reading between the lines, Wind shrieked out of his mind, fearing that he would be Kaze’s next target. “Thud.” The Desert Eagle was flung to Wind. Kaze towered over him and said indifferently, “You get to live another day.“Go back and tell Jet that I expect Mrs. Frost’s safe return in three days. “Failing to do so, I’ll make a trip to the Frosts’.” Wind closed his e
Kaze let out an awkward smile and criticized, “Need I say more? “I am your superior, but your commitment to work allows me to take the back seat. You’re more than a subordinate to me. “I’ll regret it if anything happens to you.” Kaze then changed the subject. “Let’s talk about your family. What’s going on?“I got Venom watching over your mother. How did this happen?” Snow’s eyes flickered with disappointment at Kaze’s avoidance. However, she quickly put away her personal thoughts since her family issues mattered more now. “I’m not sure about what’s going on. I got a general idea when Bass and the others arrived, Chairman Lee.” After much thought, Snow murmured, “Midas King’s revenge stirred unrest in my family. “It helped that Mom went home with Venom. With my grandfather ill, Mom was in control of the family. “But several family members were poisoned days later. They were either core members who ran the family business or the family’s armed resources. The key playe
