Kaze’s slap snapped Deborah out of an angry trance. She covered her face and glared at Kaze with gritted teeth. “Don’t celebrate too soon, Kaze. Your wife is about to get it—” “Shut up, Deborah!” Vincent scowled and interrupted her. Not too long ago, Vincent and Rudy’s family conspired with Liam to oust Darcy from Quintessential Group.After days of searching, the Hansers finally located Jean’s hiding place. They had sent men to fetch the woman. With Jean back, Darcy would be kicked out of Quintessential Group. The Hansers would take over the group through Rudy’s family. Deborah was an idiot to nearly let slip this crucial information. Their efforts would be for nothing if Darcy braced herself for the takeover. “What are you plotting against my wife again?” Although Deborah did not reveal much, Kaze could tell something was amiss from Vincent’s reaction. Flustered, Deborah said angrily, “What are you talking about? I’m saying that your wife will get what’s coming
Kaze was not keen on associating with Celine. Despite her age, she was rather manipulative. As color drained from her face, Celine walked away grimacingly. Kaze looked at Celine’s back and said indifferently, “You should stay away from Celine, Sky. You’re a simple guy. You might get taken advantage of without knowing it.” “Oh. Got it, Kaze.” Sky nodded cluelessly. He had utmost trust in Kaze, so he would do no wrong by taking his advice. Celine’s eyes flickered with menace when she heard the comment. Kaze wanted to drive away with Sky without any intention of paying. Hunter promised to compensate him last night. “Someone would like to see you for a talk, K. Can you come with me?” Hunter asked. Kaze was not in a hurry to give his word. He asked, “Who is it?” “Just a veteran in the business. He’s waiting for you.” Kaze eyed Hunter, who seemed suspicious. He wanted to see what the man was up to. “Alright. I’ll meet him.” Kaze patted Sky’s shoulder. “Go and take y
Samus, Deborah, and Vincent led the way on foot. Despite their frustration, they were thrilled. Judging by the security team’s aloof and distant attitudes, they believed that these people came to mess Kaze up. Meanwhile, Hunter led Kaze outside a VIP lounge. “Wait here, K. I’ll tell them you’re here.” Hunter knocked on the door and entered the room. The lounge was spacious and luxurious. A rosy-cheeked man in his fifties sat on the leather couch, a tunic draped his frame. “I brought Kaze here, Mr. White.” Hunter nodded at the bodyguards standing by the old man before approaching with respect. It was Angel White, the Angel of Death. Anybody with association to Lilyrose underworld would know his name. Angel was the brains behind Cronus’ rise in the underworld.Two decades ago, Angel’s strategic brilliance drove Cronus to power, challenging Alan’s dominance in the underworld.Ignoring Hunter, Angel fixated his gaze on the TV screen. The video of Kaze knocking T
It did not matter whether Kaze would kill Alan. Hunter could imagine the devastating end to Kaze. The dummy was not the only one caught in the crossfire. His wife’s family, probably the entire Quint family, would be ruined. “Bring him in.” Angel grabbed the remote control and turned off the screen. Hunter turned around, opened the door, and led Kaze into the room. “Kaze, this is Mr. White. Mr. White is a respectable man in Lilyrose.” Hunter quit the term of endearment. Kaze was a dead man in his eyes. “Mr. White.” Kaze checked Angel out and chuckled. He was about to sit his ass in front of Angel. “How dare you! Who are you to sit in front of Mr. White?” The bodyguard on the left of Angel criticized Kaze angrily. Kaze turned to Angel who carried a blank expression. “Didn’t you invite me for a talk, Mr. White? Why don’t I get to sit down? I’m sure there isn’t a rule about it.” “Hmph! Don’t flatter yourself, dimwit. Mr. White summoned you. He did not invite yo
Angel pulled a long face. He looked at Kaze emotionlessly without a word. Tension rose in the VIP lounge. “How dare you, Kaze!” Hunter walked over and lectured Kaze with his finger up his nose. “It’s your honor that Mr. White wants you to work for him. Don’t be ungrateful.” Kaze glanced at Hunter. He thought Hunter was acting strange when they were at the Ferrari showroom. Sure enough, Hunter was only pretending to be respectful toward him. “I guess you didn’t learn from your mistake, Hunter.” Kaze scowled. “You didn’t act tough when you kneeled before me, slapping yourself last night.” Hunter grimaced, remembering last night’s insulting incident. “I gave in to you last night because the situation called for it, Kaze. Do you really think I’m scared of you?” Hunter looked at him in disdain. “All you are is a worthless son-in-law of the Quints. Oh, so you can fight. But you were only able to walk out of the casino alive because of Dan’s six men. Do you think I will al
Kaze struck quickly. It all happened in a flash. The whole thing was over before Angel knew it. By the time his mind caught up with what had happened, he realized he was on his knees. The crippling pain in his cheek was a humiliation he could not swallow. Angel was a long-time buddy of Cronus, helping him establish an empire in the underworld and legitimate businesses. He was one of the few elites who could stand alongside the heads of the three major families.He was a figure who commanded respect. Yet, Kaze smacked him to the ground, making him kneel. If word were to get out, Angel could never show his face. “How dare you hit me, Kaze! How dare you!” Angel yelled at Kaze furiously, his voice filled with resentment. Kaze side-eyed him and said indifferently, “Just because you are a little experienced, you think you’re better than everyone else and treat others like dirt. Don’t be surprised by others whipping some shame back in you.” He then walked out. “Get lost!”
Kaze had no worries about his safety. Even if everyone at Taurus Automobiles were to gang up on him, Kaze still would not consider them to be a risk. Still, the excuse irked him. Kaze was labeled a car thief. He would never stoop so low as to steal a car. Hunter laughed out loud. “Oh, Kaze. Why are you so stupid? Mr. White can get you killed at the snap of his fingers. We’re taking a life after all, so we need a sound excuse.“The dealership employee killed you by accident when trying to apprehend you for stealing our vehicles. It makes a good story.” He stared at Kaze smugly. “Thousands of Taurus Automobiles’ employees are after your life. You can forget walking out of here alive.” “Thousands of riff-raffs?” Kaze scoffed in contempt. He could not be bothered to get blood on his hands. He took out his phone, intending to show Angel that he could outnumber him. The Koenigsegg sports car leading the fleet of fancy cars stopped right outside the dealership. Samus, Debor
With a frown, Kaze turned to the girl who spoke. He found her familiar. It did not take long for him to recall saving the woman from the illegal surrogacy ring when apprehending Joy. Before Kaze’s trip to Taurus Automobiles, Don mentioned the girl was called Sandy. The young man next to Sandy checked Kaze out. Hunter drew close and asked politely, “Are you here to look at cars, mister?” “No.” The young man shook his head and pointed at Kaze. “I’m here for someone, and that someone is him.” Hunter looked at Kaze in surprise and asked, “What business do you have with him, mister?” “That’s none of your business.” The young man said arrogantly, “It seems to me that he’s in some kind of trouble.” Irked by the young man’s attitude, Hunter replied indifferently, “That’s none of your business.” “What if I make it my business?” The young man added haughtily, “I don’t care what sort of trouble he is in, but I’m taking him with me today.” Hunter smirked. “That’s not my
