“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
A minute later, Kaze stepped out of the car. He carefully wiped a small splash of blood from his hand with a tissue. He then looked toward the brightly lit villa ahead.According to Hannah’s intel, Sasha, Nadia, and Ted were all inside.This was why he had not fired any shots earlier.He needed to avoid alerting anyone in the villa.Without a second thought, Kaze walked straight toward the entrance.Inside the villa, the spacious living room glowed under dim lights, casting an eerie atmosphere.A tall, handsome young man sat with one leg crossed on the couch with a lit cigar in hand.This was Ted from the Lee family.Ted was the son of the Lees’ third master, Garrett. Their family had spent years abroad and only returned to Arcadia a year ago.Hence, Kaze did not know Ted.However, much like his cousins, Narian and Cosmo, Ted was a classic playboy through and through.Growing up abroad made him even wilder than his cousins in his antics.He now eyed the unconscious girl lyi
“Mr. Lee, you don’t have to apologize. After all, you’re her boyfriend. I shouldn’t have talked to you…”Like a startled deer, Sasha flinched slightly and shifted away.Seeing her so visibly afraid made Ted feel a bit displeased. Feigning irritation, he said, “We’re in a relationship. That’s all. What's wrong with me talking to you?“She’s way too possessive. That’s something bad about her.“I’ve already told her off. Sasha, please don’t let it bother you.”To Ted, his so-called girlfriend, Nadia, was just a passing amusement.To him, women were like clothes. He could easily have another one whenever he felt like it.He had never taken Nadia seriously.“Don’t be afraid, Sasha. I've already dealt with those kidnappers. You can stay here for now. I’ll send you back to the hospital later…” As he spoke, he edged closer to her on the couch. He reached out his hand, aiming to caress her smooth, porcelain cheek.There was an innocent purity about Sasha that stirred a desire he coul
