“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
“Smack!”Just as the officer finished speaking, a sharp slap landed across his face.The female officer withdrew her hand and yelled, “Are you blind? Do you think you can just ignore my orders?“When I say make an arrest, you make an arrest. If you want to disobey me, head back to the station!”Taken aback by the slap, the officer was caught between shock and anger. However, he did not dare to respond.Seeing this, the other two officers quickly fell silent and prepared to cuff Kaze.“Hold on!”Hannah suddenly stepped forward, her voice sharp. “Mr. Lee is a part of the Viper’s Den. You have no right to arrest him!”She was well aware of Kaze’s identity. Kaze was the leader of the Viper’s Den’s Western Division. At his level, only top authorities in the Viper’s Den had the jurisdiction to take action against him. The local police have no authority to arrest him.“He’s a member of the Viper’s Den?”The hooked-nose officer, who had been silently observing, sneered. “Isn’t this g
Kaze spoke calmly, “There are two of you and only one of me. Why don’t you guys get out first?“Are you guys going to shoot me in the back once I get out?“And then accuse me of trying to escape to cover it up? That would be an awfully unjust way to go, don’t you think?“So, maybe you should just take me to a proper police station instead.”Kaze’s words left the hooked-nose officer and the female officer in the driver’s seat visibly startled and uneasy. They exchanged glances, and their expressions turned cold and sharp.The female officer shoved him and retorted, “You think we’re in some kind of action movie where we just shoot you down?“Accusing us like that is only going to add to your troubles! It won’t do you any good!“Stop stalling and get out!“Or things will get a lot less friendly for you!”The female officer’s face darkened. She looked like she was ready to act if Kaze dared say another word.Kaze calmly countered. “Just because you call yourselves officers, it do
The hooked-nose man suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and pain. Tears and snot streamed down his face as he instinctively covered his nose with his hand.Just as he threw the ashtray, Kaze lunged toward the driver’s seat and grabbed the woman’s wrist, where she held her gun.With a swift twist, she heard a loud crack as he broke her wrist.“Argh! I’m going to kill you…”The woman screamed in a frenzy. Amid her frantic cries, Kaze, already unbuckled from his seatbelt, leaned back and kicked her out of the car.Moments later, he tossed the incapacitated man and woman into the back seat.“Ted hired you guys to deal with me, right? Where is he?”Kaze toyed with a gun in his hand while he dismantled another into a pile of parts inside the vehicle.“Spit!”The woman spat out a mouthful of blood, refusing to respond.The hooked-nose man, his eyes bloodshot, gritted his teeth and said, “Kill us if you have the guts! Otherwise, don’t even dream of getting any information from us!”Ka
