Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2657 Buck Bob
Some members of the Otters naturally agreed with Hanses and Bella’s proposal, but others were skeptical. Their internal biases would not disappear just from a few words.For instance, people like Max and Maxine genuinely despised and disliked Agnes’ family.Even though Darcy was from the prestigious Ridgesouth Quints with status far surpassed theirs, they still looked down on her. No matter how impressive Darcy was, she had still married a man like Kaze, whom they considered a useless failure.Just from her choice of husband, they believed that she would never have a happy future.As Maxine thought about this, she glanced at her boyfriend, Patrick, then looked at Darcy’s family again, her eyes full of superiority.“Master Otter! Madam Otter!”Just then, a member of the Otters rushed in, panting heavily. “I-I… The Golden Ray’s gangster boss, Buck Bob, is here. He demands to meet Master and Madam Otter!”Upon hearing that, the entire Otters fell silent. Fear appeared in many
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2658 Miya’s Arrival
Despite their reluctance, the Otters could not simply turn away a prominent figure from the underworld like Bob.“Alex, go and invite Mr. Damian in!” Madam Otter instructed his eldest son, Alex.Before long, Bob, a stocky, balding man in a suit with an unmistakable set of buck teeth, entered the hall, accompanied by several others. Among them was a particularly striking woman dressed as a wealthy socialite. Her presence drew shocked glances from some of the younger Otter family members who recognized her.“Haha! Greetings to the esteemed Master and Madam Otter! I’ve always wanted to come and pay my respects, but I just never found the opportunity. Finally, today I get to meet the two of you!”Bob beamed as he clasped his hands in a polite bow toward Caster and Bella. He then gestured to his men, who stepped forward with gifts in hand.Seeing Bob arrive not only empty of hostility but also bearing gifts, the Otters breathed a collective sigh of relief.Bella responded with a smi
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2659 Confrontation
“You’re here to see Kaze?”Not only Caster but the entire Otter family froze in shock.Why would a big shot like Miya come all the way to the Otters’ to see Kaze?Why would Kaze, a good-for-nothing son-in-law skilled only at bragging, have a connection to someone like Miya?Even Agnes and Darcy’s family wore expressions of complete bewilderment, unable to make sense of the situation.“That bastard... Did he get into trouble again? Maybe he offended someone out there…” Agnes muttered anxiously under her breath.After a few seconds of stunned silence, Caster cautiously probed. “Mrs. Heartano, you’re right about Kaze being my granddaughter’s husband. May I ask why you’ve come seeking him today?”“To be honest, it’s not a major issue.”Miya’s tone remained casual. “Kaze recently assaulted the director of St. Mary’s and then forced me to hand over the entire hospital to him. Mind you, this is a hospital partly owned by Geranium City’s big four families, Sanwell Finances, and the pre
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2660 Father-In-Law’s Praise
Seeing the bewildered expressions of her daughter's family, Bella hesitated before asking cautiously, “Mrs. Heartano, there must be some misunderstanding here, right? Although my grandson-in-law is a bit unreliable, he shouldn't be capable of doing something like this. Let alone involving the police. He’s only been in Riverbank City for a few days. How could he have such connections?”Her words earned nods of agreement from many in the Otters.It was not that they were deliberately looking down on Kaze. However, based on his track record, the claims Miya had just made seemed fictional.“No connections, you say?”Miya chuckled. “Madam Otter, it seems you know very little about your grandson-in-law.”“Did you know that with one phone call, he had Riverbank’s city mayor, Kent Synder's nephew, show up to support him?“Did you know he has ties with the Viper’s Den South River Branch?“Did you know that with just one call, he caused my family’s businesses to lose billions?”Miya’s mo
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2661 You’re Not Me
Kaze was on good terms with Cole, and it was true that he was connected with the Viper’s Den South River State Branch. It was a mistake to dismiss Kaze as incompetent.At least, he could read the room and was good at playing the game. Still, Kaze was not as great as he made himself out to be. He was so aggressive about acquiring St. Mary’s, but that was all there was to it. With that in mind, Miya felt at ease and confident. She said, “Where is Kaze now?“To be honest with you, I’m here to demand answers.”Dropping the niceties, Miya got in the Otters’ face. “Agnes, call your deadbeat son-in-law to get his ass here now!” Before Bella could say anything, Caster turned to Agnes and said crudely, “He can deal with his own problems. We’re not picking up after him.” “I’ll give him a call now.” Agnes whipped out her phone in a panic. Darcy took a step forward and asked grimly, “Mrs. Heartano, I am Darcy, Kaze’s wife. Can I ask what you are expecting of him?” “Oh, I ha
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2662 Absurd Condition
Displeased with Darcy’s annoyance, Miya found her ungrateful. “I’ll cut to the chase then, Ms. Quint.” Miya took a sip of her drink and said indifferently, “I’m only asking for three things from Kaze after what he has done. “First, I expect him to pay 100 million dollars to cover St. Mary’s losses.“Secondly, my family in Geranium City took a financial hit of three billion dollars because of him. I don’t think I’m asking for much by asking for five billion dollars in compensation due to the shortfall of the plummeting shares. “Finally, I want him to lose one arm. He should repent his sins outside St. Mary’s as a warning to others not to mess with St. Mary’s. “Before your husband gets here, why don’t you tell me how you feel about my demands, Ms. Quint?” The Otters expressed their shock ahead of Darcy. Kaze was expected to pay five billion dollars. The Otters did not have assets worth that much. Caster and Bella looked grim. They were reluctant to say anything, give
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2663 The Heartanos Are Unworthy
“What?”Darcy’s response left everybody doubting their ears. She was willing to cough up five billion dollars in damages, but there was no way she would let Kaze break his arm and repent outside St. Mary’s. “Have you lost it, Darcy? Just leave Kaze be! Why pay five billion dollars for him? Do you even have the money?” Agnes was not having it. She was the first to express her anger. She believed Darcy had lost the plot. The Otters were in disbelief. Kaze was just a bluffing deadbeat. Yet, Darcy would go to lengths for him. Miya scowled in shock at Darcy. Darcy looked her straight in the eye. “Save me that look, Mrs. Heartano. I can compensate you, but you can’t insult my husband.” “Did you think it was a negotiation, Ms. Quint?” Miya smirked in rage, her eyes reflecting no emotion. “Kaze didn’t just attack my hospital staff, but he slapped me in front of everybody too. I may not be a big deal, but I hold a certain amount of social standing in Geranium City and Arca
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2664 The Aggressor’s the Bigger Jerk
The murderous intent in Miya’s eyes was abruptly replaced by wariness. Miya glanced at Hanses before uttering flatly, “But young man, this is between me and Kaze. It’s not your place to comment. Once you formally join the Flying Dragons, you might earn yourself the right to speak.” “I—”Hanses scoffed, having the right mind to tell Miya off. No one knew better than him who Kaze was. It did not matter that the Geranium Heartanos was one of the elites of Geranium City. Her family did not run the military anyway. “That’s enough, Hanses!” Bella abruptly cut Hanses off before turning to Miya. She said, “I know it would take a lot to make up for what Kaze has done. “I’m going to ask a favor of you, Mrs. Heartano. Given my age, can you be a little flexible with your terms? Darcy is committed to finding a solution. “Perhaps we can drop the demand to break an arm and kneel.” Darcy gave Bella a look of gratitude. Miya chuckled. “Alright then. I can show some leniency by lett

“Just tell me what you need, Arthur. You wouldn’t be calling unless you have received orders.” Philip was surprised to get a call from Arthur. Though they were acquainted, they had only communicated because of work. “We have just left Rising Sun. Don’t approve the films for now.” Arthur was blunt. “I can do that, but can I ask why?” Philip was caught in a dilemma because he had just promised Jet to release the films. Philip needed to know if the orders to delay came from a high power who could cover his ass. “Since you got a call from me, you should know that there are eyes on Jet. “You should know what you can and cannot say. Otherwise, you never know when you’re going to lose your job.” Arthur threatened. Philip was reluctant. He accepted Jet’s payment, and now he had to go back on his word. Nevertheless, Arthur was part of the Viper’s Den, and his status was rather unique. Arthur provided services to confidential individuals. These individuals were elites among t
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3563 Trigger
A balanced, profitable dynamic had been developed among the ports in Butterworth. Jet spotted his chance in the lucrative port business. He covertly took out some money to invest in a dying port. The port was situated in a more remote area. Some businesspeople favored more accessible ports. This drove shippers away from the dying port. Jet snagged the steal and improved the logistics and facilities around the area. The port was up and running again. Business at the port was decent enough. As the Frosts would run their business through the port, the local economy took off too. It was a good thing. However, Jet set his sights on several residential buildings around the area. He needed space to accommodate containers. The land was required to make business at the port more profitable. This triggered a whole new thing. Jet could spend some money to buy the residents out of their homes. However, the residents preferred to stay put in their long-time homes. No a

“I’ll keep the bank cards for now. I’ll talk to our superiors and give you a decision. Since the man said that the cards are meant for us, they won’t be going anywhere.” Knox had no idea who Kaze was, but he knew Arthur was with the Viper’s Den. Arthur must be someone from high places. Eli soon put the little incident behind him. He got a call from Aloysius yesterday and was made aware of Jet’s plans. The films had been put on hold for far too long, and the people above Eli were anxious to get things moving. Though Eli was surprised by the review board’s visit, everything was still in his control. Eli left the matter at that without reporting the incident to the higher-ups. The flashy, red car sped along the road. Arthur kept looking back at Kaze, eager to find out about the next plan. Arthur brought Kaze out today to witness how Eli and his team operated. As it happened, Eli adopted such a shallow ploy. Arthur was not surprised, though. Eli’s methods were common.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3561 Reconciliation
Eli dined offhandedly as if he had taken hold of the group. His words were layered with threat. “What? Are you trying to replace us?” Knox asked in disbelief. “I don’t have that power, but the investor does. I heard that he enjoyed dinner with your superiors. I’m sure the project will get the green light in no time. “Even if you didn’t approach me today, my team and I would have invited you out for a get-together.” Eli knew when to back down, easing the tension in the air. It was another type of reconciliation. Eli needed to go through the review board to get the rights to air the films. The carrot-and-stick approach was the best way forward. Kaze was surprised by the sophistication of Eli’s tactics. Still, he believed he had come to the right place. Sure enough, Jet would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. Surely, he was bound to leave loose ends. Nevertheless, he probably did not care. Arthur cocked his head back to look at Kaze. Kaze grinned, unbothered
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3560 Bring Something Back
The purpose of the visit was to inform Rising Sun that the films did not make the cut. Since Rising Sun would not make the necessary amendments, the project would come to a halt. “Please, don’t. Since we are all here, we should talk it out.” It took Eli quite some effort to get the group to the hotel. Eli had plans to please the crowd, so he could not let them leave just yet. This went beyond getting the green light for the films. Eli needed to make the group happy. “There is nothing more to talk about. We can’t proceed unless you make the changes.” There was no way around it. Since Rising Sun refused to make the right amendments, and Knox had orders about putting a hold on Rising Sun’s films, that was one less problem for Knox to deal with. Eli could not let the group walk out on him. Hence, he quickly sent people in. Several thinly clad women entered, each holding a small bag. Despite the weightlessness, the bag appeared to be carrying something of substance. “You
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3559 The Makings of a Star
For that reason, Rising Sun’s film productions were not cleared to be aired. “I told you the reason. The investor supplied us with the scripts, and we were told to base our productions on the scripts. Our hands are tied.”Eli would have made the amendments if he could. He knew where the problem lay. However, the company had to take the investor’s perspective into consideration. In the end, the films were yet to be approved for release. “I guess you won’t get the permission to air them then.” Knox was surprised that Rising Sun would not budge on the matter. Nevertheless, Knox and his team were not there to give the all-clear or talk some sense into Rising Sun. Knox and his team could care less about what Eli had to say. “We’re serious about getting the approval. “I’m sorry that we aren’t a better host for your visit today. Why don’t we move to the nearby hotel for a talk?” With the review board making an appearance, Eli knew there was still hope. If Eli did not grab
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3558 Green Light
Arthur chuckled, his smile carrying a touch of sleaziness. “Oh, I see.” A realization dawned on Kaze. “Are you with quality control?” Several individuals in dark blue suits approached. The men and women carried files and documents. Kaze nodded without a word. “We are just here to announce the results. We shouldn’t be long.” Arthur came forward to engage with them. The group was likely given the heads-up as they had the right number of people. They swaggered into Rising Sun’s building. The general manager straightened up his tie in a fluster and walked out. None of the film productions made the cut yet, and the delay was costing the company money by the day. At this rate, the project would go down under. Eli, the general manager, rushed to the entrance upon learning the news. The review team was there to do one final check. The films would get the green light if the board found that everything was up to par. The head office would stop putting pressure on
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3557 A Bit Much
Given Kaze’s status, Alfonso knew better than to have him waiting under the hot sun. Of course, he would send his people to be on standby for Kaze’s arrival. Peter only came to the rescue when Kaze was pestered by some street gang. Alfonso’s omission of Kaze’s identity led to this hiccup. Kaze did not care one bit about the incident. Heck, he did not even bring it up. Arthur straightened his back nervously, becoming even more cautious behind the wheel. “You knew, but why didn’t you say anything, Mr. Lee? You didn’t even tell on us.” Arthur could not understand why. However, he had more respect for the man. “I didn’t see a point. You’ll learn what happens when you displease me, so I won’t bother telling you now.” Kaze was mild-mannered as ever. He spoke softly without a hint of anger. All the more Arthur revered him. “Mr. Lee, we didn’t do our jobs right. We didn’t know who you were.“But my duty is to protect you in the dark. “We saw you getting out of the train
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3556 Rising Sun
“Rising Sun is a media company. Several of their films are about to be released. They are trying to get them approved to air due to some censorship issues.” Arthur took out a document. “Are there any issues with the films? Why aren’t they approved yet?” Kaze asked curiously. Kaze had no idea. “There are some issues. They aren’t fit to be aired. “Typically, there aren’t a lot of restrictions for film productions so long as the themes aren’t sensitive topics. “But these films featured altered history. The company has been asked multiple times to make revisions, but the films still don’t make the cut.” The Viper’s Den’s members were not privy to the information. The Frosts were insignificant. Kaze was after the Frosts. Otherwise, the Viper’s Den would not waste its resources on a mere film production company. Jet’s investment of nearly ten million bucks in Rising Sun caught the Viper’s Den’s attention. The delayed approval of the films would be catastrophic to the in
