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
Grace ignored Cyan. Instead, she watched Kaze with an amused look. “You really think you can handle Cole?” she asked.She had not taken him seriously before now.Here Kaze was, confidently asking to raise his commission from five percent to ten percent.Grace could not help but wonder where this confidence of his came from.Kaze kept his calm. “Well, just let me know if you’re okay with the ten percent commission.”“Sure!”Seeing Kaze’s calm demeanor, Grace nodded with a smirk. “If you can collect the two hundred million dollars, I’ll personally make sure you get that twenty million.“And I’ll also promote you to become the Vice General Manager of the Cultural and Entertainment Department!”If Kaze could genuinely take care of Cole, even through unconventional means, it would prove his value.Given that Yves had promoted him, maybe there was more to Kaze than met the eye.Hence, if Kaze managed to collect the debt, Grace would have no problem making him her deputy on the spot
“Kaze, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?!“You called Mr. Libra to come here? Who do you think you are?!”Cyan’s face turned pale with fear as she instinctively swatted Kaze. Hints of disappointment flashed in her eyes.Kaze was truly pushing her to the edge.While she had always thought Kaze was a bit of a show-off, she thought at least he had been somewhat sensible before.However, Kaze’s actions now seemed completely absurd to her.Even if he wanted to show off, risking his life to do it was insane.“You’d better run while you still can. I have no interest in watching you get yourself hacked into pieces!”Cyan gave Kaze a deathly stare.“Ms. Summers, what do we do now? This guy’s got a death wish. He can get hacked up all he wants, but we don’t want to get caught up in it!”Panicked and visibly anxious, several executives turned helplessly to Grace.With a resigned expression, Grace said coldly, “I’ll try to get in touch with Mr. Libra and apologize on our beh
Someone kidnapped Sasha?Kaze’s heart skipped a beat. He asked in a deep voice, “When did this happen?”“Just ten minutes ago.”“I’m sorry, Kaze. Three of them came and barged in.”Cole knelt on the ground. His face was ashen. “They were really strong, too. The brothers I left to guard her broke their limbs before they could even fight them.“Even the security guards at St. Mary’s couldn’t stop them.”“Get up and talk.”Kaze waved his hand, his face darkening. “It’s not that St. Mary’s security couldn’t hold them back. Someone didn’t want them to.”Kaze had just dealt with Miya and Keiko. He thought that the two women had decided to back down and settle down. However, it now seemed that he had been too optimistic.Of course, this did not necessarily mean they had sent the kidnappers.Regardless of whether those two women were behind the scenes, at the very least, they were likely turning a blind eye, if not outright approving it.“Kaze, I’ve already sent everyone I know to
“This time, they kidnapped Ms. Spoon on orders from Ted of the prestigious Lee family!”Fully aware of Kaze’s ties with the Lees, Hannah emphasized the fact.“Ted? Nadia’s boyfriend?”Kaze was shocked. He had not expected Nadia’s boyfriend to be a member of the Lees.After all, as an influential and prosperous family, the Lees had many branches and members. Even Kaze did not know all of them personally. From the name alone, he could tell Ted was from the family’s main bloodline.Narian, Cosmo, Karina, and Ted Lee...All direct descendants of the Lees’ younger generation shared the middle name “James.”“Guess fate brings enemies together, huh.”Kaze’s gaze grew icy, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. He then turned to leave.“Once you find where they’re hiding, send me the address.”After instructing Hannah in a cold voice, he headed downstairs without looking back.As soon as Kaze stepped out of Golden Scale Corporation building, two police cars screeched to a halt in
