The Heartano family welcomed Hunter to Geranium City with a grand welcoming ceremony, utilizing every resource they had. Yet even within the upper social circle of the city, it was considered a private and mysterious event. Therefore, the outsiders knew little about Hunter. Coincidentally, Miya was one of the few people who knew about Hunter’s existence and background. It was also the reason she came to him. “You folks from Geranium are over superstitious. There’s no god or deity in this world.” Hunter smiled as he took a glass from his cabinet and put spherical ice in it. Miya smiled as she got up and opened the whiskey on the table before her, pouring it into Hunter’s glass. She said respectfully, “Well to me, Mr. Yaphet is a walking deity on earth.” Hunter simply smiled at her words. He had a sip from the whiskey on the rock and said, “You know me. What brings you here? Just skip to the chase.” “Mr. Yaphet, I bother you today because I need your help on something,” M
Miya was thrilled to hold the scroll given by Hunter. The Riverbank Seven’s influences extended beyond Riverbank. They all had powerful families, and mysterious forces as their support, or like Hunter who himself was a mystery yet he possessed strength that allowed him to stand out from his peers. The words he wrote on the scroll represented himself. The strokes and the ink carried a hint of his presence. Kaze might be skilled and powerful but Miya believed even he dared not act like a clown in front of Hunter. Her grievance faded, replaced by a surge of pride and excitement. She wanted Kaze to kneel and tremble before the scroll. Holding the scroll in her hand, as if it was a royal decree, she bowed at Hunter respectfully before she went out. … Back at St. Mary Hospital, Kaze came out of Sasha’s ward and decided to visit Snow. His phone suddenly rang, and when he saw the caller ID, his brows furrowed. Cyan? Since he came back from Rivername, the real estate c
Little did Cyan know, Collier called Kaze “boss” in front of the entire sales department. Since it was directly related to confidential matters of the company, the sales department dared not simply spread the news about Kaze’s true identity. Therefore, Cyan might feel baffled as to why Kaze became the sales manager at first but she quickly claimed the credit and believed she was the one who got him the roles. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m nothing.” Kaze did not want to argue with the woman. He moved his phone away and said, “Don’t tell me you call me just to scold me. If it is, go find someone else. I don’t have the time.” He could not understand how a young girl like Cyan would behave like an old wretched hag. Like mother, like daughter. “Hmph! You sound like you are super busy every day while I am not. Who wants to call you even if I have the free time?” She explained, “Get over to the office right now, there’s a meeting going on! Your superior is asking for you and since yo
“Mr. Lee, the GM is Grace Summers, the daughter of our boss and CEO, Mr. Scott Summers. “Mr. Summers is an old friend of Chairman Ettinger’s father, who was also the founding member of this company. That’s why even the chairman respected Mr. Summers. “So, the daughter of Mr. Summers was promoted to be the general manager of the showbiz division. “Grace is a hot-tempered lady. I heard that even Cyan is afraid of her after being scolded twice.” Ronald knew Kaze was able to join Golden Scale Corporation because of Cyan, so he intentionally mentioned her relationship with Grace, the general manager. The Chairman Ettinger that he was referring to was Collier. In other words, Grace’s father, Scott, was an old friend of Newell Ettinger, the ex-branch chief of Viper’s Den South River Branch. “Oh? Even Cyan is afraid of her?” Kaze raised his brows, showing interest. Bang! As they were speaking, the door was pushed open with a bang. Cyan came in with a distressed look and g
Kaze did not plan to explain the misunderstanding. He smiled generously and nodded, “Ms. Summers, I’m Kaze Lee.” Grace nodded and hummed a reply at him. “Take a seat.” Kaze followed Cyan to the end of the table and sat down. Grace was not bothered by their late arrival and continued to go through the documents in her hand. She coldly asked, “So? Does anyone have a solution?” The whole meeting room plunged into silence. Slam! Grace slammed the documents on the table, startling many. Everyone sat up straight, trying to look alive. She then glanced over everyone and said, “I thought you lot are super capable. Why is no one saying a word now? “You people said you can get a big deal through your connections, eat with some prominent figures, and solve problems over a few drinks. “Now I’m asking you to collect the money and no one speaks a word? “After today, the two-hundred-million debt will be deferred for three months and none of you dare to ask them for the money
Golden Scale Corporation found Cole challenging to handle.After all, regardless of their corporation's influence, they still had to operate within Riverbank City.Besides, there was a more critical reason why Cole felt bold enough to delay payments to Golden Scale Corporation. Cole had a solid relationship with Yves.When Kaze first arrived in Riverbank City and fought with him, Cole had called Yves for support. However, the situation ended with Kaze overpowering Yves.It was precisely because of his connection with Yves that Cole felt bold enough to postpone the payment.For someone like Yves, two hundred million dollars was a trivial amount.However, the employees in the company remained oblivious to the bond between Cole and Yves.Now that it was time to settle accounts, the Cultural and Entertainment Department needed to finalize payments and report to the headquarters.This made the situation all the more difficult.Cole was a well-known playboy in Riverbank City with
Grace glanced at Cyan and said coolly, “Since so many of you recognize Ms. Yemen’s abilities, I think she should give it a shot.“After all, you’ve been with the company for a while now without contributing anything.“Now that the company is in trouble, it’s time for you to step up.”Seated below, Cyan’s face turned pale at this.Although she usually held herself in high regard and dismissed Kaze, she was still somewhat self-aware.She had heard about the infamous Cole.Given his status, he would have seen all kinds of beautiful women.With his recent injuries, he was probably in a bad mood. Would he really show her respect if she approached him now? Cyan did not think her looks were enough to make him fall for her at first sight.After all, there were plenty of beautiful women in the world.Take Kaze’s wife, for example. Even as a woman, Cyan felt inadequate when she first saw her at Rivername.Such a woman always had the strongest pull for men.Yet, she had ended up marr
“Handle Cole?“You?”As soon as the words came out, the room fell silent.A moment later, many in the crowd began shaking their heads, smirking with clear mockery.If another executive had said this, it might have sounded credible.However, it was Kaze who had stepped up.Everyone knew him as the guy who got his job at Golden Scale Corporation through connection.He only got his job thanks to Cyan, no less.Not to mention, he was a bit of a hothead. He had barely started his job before filing a report against his supervisor, Wesley Gwake, which only caught Yves’ eye and led to his promotion.As far as everyone was concerned, Yves did not see much in Kaze’s skills. It was simply a reward for his loyalty to Golden Scale Corporation.After all, he was just a low-level business manager in the Cultural and Entertainment Department, far removed from the ranks of the board. Yves would never give a second thought to such an insignificant figure.Rumor had it that Cyan, who had bro
