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
“What’s going on? I thought they were here to give Kaze hell. Why are they thanking him?” “When did the idiot save a member of the Queens?” “Goddamnit! I wouldn’t have led them to him had I known.” Samus, Deborah, and Vincent, who were standing not too far away, were furious to learn the truth from Sandy. They showed Mathias and Sandy the way on foot, and they were now gasping for air. It turned out Mathias and Sandy came to fix Kaze’s problem. Samus, Deborah, and Vincent were jealous that Kaze managed to be associated with the Queens from Butterworth. The dimwit was best at pretending to be someone big to get ahead in life. Well, he was living the life now. Kaze observed Sandy, whose youthful spirit and clear eyes shone through. He was relieved to save her, but that was as far as his feelings went. Others were jealous that he rubbed shoulders with the Queens of Butterworth. However, the Butterworth Queens were not up to his level. “Thank you, Kaze. I was devastat
Mathias waved at his bodyguard, who then pulled out a checkbook and wrote 100 million dollars on it. Mathias signed the check, ripped it out, and held it near the car window. “Take it. You will be the owner of a hundred million dollars. You can cash the check at Industry and Commercial Bank. I’ll call to make the withdrawal happen.” In case Kaze did not get it, Mathias patiently gave him further instructions.“The idiot is lucky. He doesn’t deserve the hundred million. If only we saved Ms. Queen.” Standing not too far away, Samus and Deborah could drool at the amount of money. They wished they could take the check for Kaze. It was as if Kaze hit the jackpot. Kaze did not take the check, though. Instead, he stared coldly at Mathias. “Who wants your money? Don’t get in my way. I’m starting the car.” He knew where Mathias was coming from. Mathias wanted to dismiss him with a lump sum in exchange for saving Sandy. That was the behavior pattern of the rich and powerful; if
“What? Is the amount good enough for you now?” Thinking that Kaze was finally pleased with the money, Mathias said with a smile, “But you need to promise me that we’re even. You can’t go around telling people that you saved a member of the Queen family in Butterworth.” Mathias did not want Kaze to do anything in the Queens’ name that would tarnish their reputation. Kaze smiled. “Mathias Queen, right? Here’s some common sense for you. “Due to the format of Arcadian checks, the maximum amount you can fill is 999,999,999.99 dollars. You can’t sign a check for one billion dollars.” Kaze looked at Mathias as if he was a dummy. Dumbstruck, Mathias turned and asked the bodyguard, “Is that true?” “Indeed, sir.” The bodyguard asked, “Are we still writing the check? I doubt 1 cent makes much difference.” “Like hell we are!” Mathias shouted angrily, his cheeks burned with shame. He was the heir to the Queens of Butterworth. Yet, the son-in-law of some family with a bit of mon
“Ah!” Mathias screamed in fear before hopping to the side. Discolored, he looked back and noticed Kaze was still there. The bastard tried to scare him. He was not actually going to run him over. “Can’t take the heat,” Kaze said before rolling the car window up. The silver Quattroporte drove off. “Bastard! Bastard!” Mathias was hopping mad. However, he could not do anything to Kaze. He ranted a little before getting into the car. Soon, the Queen siblings’ convoy left Taurus Automobiles. “Do you think the idiot has lost his mind? He refused the money from Mr. Queen, acting like he couldn’t be bought. All he has done is make Mr. Queen his enemy.” “He had the chance to befriend the Queens, but he didn’t seize it. He’s an idiot.” “I, for one, am happy he’s a dummy. We will be in trouble if he gets in the Queens’ good graces.” Samus, Deborah, and Vincent felt full of themselves and mocked Kaze. They then took off. Outside Taurus Automobiles, Kaze finally met Sky w
“Why, Hellen, I’m free to go anywhere I want. Why can’t I be here?” Agnes gave the woman an attitude. Hellen was Agnes’ former colleague when she worked for Lilyrose Wholeness Medical Center. Agnes was involved in an altercation with Hellen and her family at Lily Garden Hotel. “Hmph! You talk like you’ve got it all figured out.” Hellen said sarcastically, “It was quite the stir when you were fired from the center after that medical disaster. Deputy Director Soup just talked to me about it yesterday. I can’t believe you’d show your face here. “If I were you, I’d never step foot into the premises ever. I would go the long way around the medical center, but I guess you have no shame.” The comment hit Agnes’ sore point and color washed off her face. Taking a deep breath, Agnes retaliated, “You’re no better than me. Let’s not forget the time you were hit and kicked out of Lily Garden Hotel. That was humiliating. If I were you, I wouldn’t come back to work.” Hellen scowled.
