Genesis Weather was the new director of the Tiger’s Cave office here in Riverbank. She saw Kaze as an opening to increase the influence of Tiger’s Cave in the city. Casius looked at his cousin and pondered. A moment later he said, “Kaze Lee is a tough one, be careful.” Genesis was new in her position and she was overflowing with eagerness and confidence. Her cousin’s words did not reach her. She pursed her lips and said, “I don’t think you should be this scared, have some confidence. “Besides, I am the director of the office here, I have permission to kill. Arresting Kaze Lee and throwing him into jail is a piece of cake. “Don’t worry, Casius, I’ll get your revenge. People who are targeted by the Tiger’s Cave are sure to be the prey. They won’t escape alive.” With that said, Genesis called her men to search for Kaze. …On the other hand, after sending Miya and her men to detention, Kaze and Darcy returned home to Villa No.1. Even though slapping Bob and sending Alfonso
“Bang! Bang!” The attackers did not expect Kaze to continue driving after the windshield was shattered. They could not react in time and two of them got run over by the car. Agonizing screams sounded in the air as the men fell down the slope. The other two did whatever they could to dodge the car but they were horrified. They thought after firing a shot at the car, shattering the windshield, the person inside would be terrified and could no longer fight back. No one expected him to drive the car at them. “Vroom!” The men behind Kaze’s car quickly reacted after Kaze ran over the two men in the front. Two SUVs charged forward at Kaze’s car. With both SUVs charging from the back and the truck blocking the road in front, Kaze found himself in a pinch. He did not want to end up squashed, so he kicked the door open and jumped out of the car. “Kabaam!” The two SUVs rammed into Kaze’s car, smashing it into a pile of scraps. One second later and he would end up like a
As the man thrusted his dagger forward, Kaze, who was rolling to the side, was forced to keep rolling away. Clank! Clank! Clank! The man wielded his dagger in a flurry, thrusting it at Kaze a dozen times but missing every single attempt. The dagger hit the asphalt road, causing clanks and igniting sparks. “Die!” The man grinned viciously as he squatted down, giving chase to Kaze with his dagger. His dagger was locked on Kaze no matter how he rolled. Kaze stayed cautious for the shooter hiding in the trees while shuttling around the cars to dodge and engage the man in front of him with ease. However, he dared not move out of the car’s cover. Judging from the shot earlier, the shooter was skilled and almost as precise as Leron. Had he not sensed the danger beforehand, he would already be a dead body with a hole in his chest. Then, he glanced at the trees and spotted a person going up the slots to reach higher grounds. A thought rose in his mind. “Die, Kaze Lee!” The
Little did Bengla know, Leron had just undergone surgery on his hands and was recovering. Otherwise, he would have slit his throat on the spot. “Y-You’re Leron the Sharpshooter?!” The man, whose limbs were all broken by Kaze, spoke and fear smeared all over his face. Kaze said, “There’s no more Sharpshooter or Lameshooter, he’s just a dog I have now.” Leron grunted coldly but did not say anything. He simply walked off. He was upset by Kaze’s words but had nothing to argue back. He tried to kill Kaze twice. Kaze spared his life and in return saved his family from Casius. Kaze was as merciful as a person could get. Be it a follower or a dog, Leron was indeed working for Kaze to pay off the debt of gratitude. “The Sharpshooter became your man!?” The man looked horrified. He fell to the ground and said, “I-I am Caspian, one of the Eight Tigers.” Knowing that even Leron had become Kaze’s follower, Caspian lost all will to fight and any thought of resistance. “Bengl
“Take them away and lock them up.” Welson ordered his men to take Bengla and Caspian away before inviting Kaze to his office for tea. “Kaze, thank you for delivering those two criminals to us. I have to thank you for that.” He pushed the cup of tea in front of Kaze. Kaze said as he waved his hand, “You’re welcome. I actually wanted to take this chance to ask you a few tough questions as well. “Do you know where I was attacked? On the road up to Wyomspring, Villa No. 1. Those two led a group of them and intercepted me on the way down. They were armed as well. “That place is a residential area for the wealthy, so if that’s how things are like there, I cannot imagine how bad the other places are…” Kaze’s words put Welson in a difficult and awkward spot. “Kaze, it’s not like that. Riverbank is a relatively safe city but they are, after all, the Steelclaw Guild and they have been giving us a lot of headaches.” Welson shook his head and continued, “How about I increase the
After listening to Kaze’s explanation, Welson understood that it was Kaze who caused the dust explosion and the entire incident was a trap prepared for Casius. Casius stepped into the trap, lost a dozen men and suffered a heavy loss. The entire building was blasted to rubble by the explosion, shocking even Welson. If Casius was there, then the Riverbank Seven would have to change its name to Riverbank Six. Welson felt as if he was now only knowing Kaze for the first time, seeing the ruthlessness he displayed. When Kaze asked the police to investigate Casius, Welson bitterly smiled and said, “Kaze, we’ll of course investigate Casius Weather but you know, we basically can’t get anything. His men were the ones who died after all. “This case would probably end without a ver…” Bang! Before he could finish, the office door was kicked open. Miya, who was just released a few hours ago, led a group of men in. She looked arrogant and confident, as if what happened earlier did
“But this time around, it will be longer than two hours. Fifteen days, not a second less,” Kaze said indifferently, showing no respect for Miya and her men. “Tsk. You?” Miya’s men looked battered but they looked at Kaze like he was an idiot, scoffing. Had Kaze lost his mind or his vision? Miya came back with a temper and it was obvious that she gained powerful support this time. Was it not obvious enough? “Kaze Lee, stop talking nonsense.” Miya stepped forward and pointed at Kaze, her shiny black nails gleaming. “I’m telling you, you’re dead this time! You should be worrying about yourself instead of trying to get me locked up. Why don’t you ask the police chief here to lock me up again, see if he dares? “I can tell you that the moment you tore Mr. Yaphet’s letter in front of everyone, you were already dead. In fact, not only you, your family, your friends, people related to you—all of them would die horribly!” Miya gritted her teeth as she glared at Kaze, a hint of
“You know the Tiger’s Cave? One of the four agencies that served the country with special authority, specializing in heavy crimes and prison…“Director Weather isn’t just the person in charge of the Tiger’s Cave in Riverbank, she’s also from the Weather family! The same Weather family Casius belonged to, and he’s one of the Riverbank Seven you offended!” After a brief introduction of Genesis, Miya scoffed, “Kaze Lee, I brought Director Weather here to uphold justice. I’d like to see if the Riverbank Police Department will side with a criminal and lock me up or not.” She also shot a disdainful gaze at Welson. She assumed Welson wanted to gain a good impression from Cole, so he helped Kaze lock her up. Now, she was no longer afraid with powerful support on her side. Welson might be the police chief but Genesis was the director of Tiger’s Cave Riverbank Office, with her authority equaled to a director of the police station. If the police could intervene, so could she. If it
Reiko spoke those words with a smile on her face, yet her expression remained frosty. Even when she opened her mouth, her teeth glared coldly. Aiden said, “The Krad family doesn’t care, and neither do they want to care, what the Refined Blade Clan wants to do. I came to Riverbank just to deal with Kaze Lee. “How dare a live-in son-in-law lay his hands on the woman my brother fancies? He’s already dead! Even though Snow and my brother are not yet married, for the sake of my family, he must die! Only then can the true strength of the Krad family be demonstrated.” His tone was calm but the murderous intent was obvious. To the Krad family, killing Kaze was like squashing an ant. Reiko smiled and nodded. Her hand moved upward, subtly unbuttoned Aiden’s shirt, and then reached into his shirt to stroke his chest. “Your goal is aligned with ours. There’s a saying in your country that we should always pick on the weakest. We also have to crush Kaze Lee first, so we can flush out his
“That’s right.” Reiko nodded and added, “More precisely, we are after the ones behind Kaze Lee, like Hannah Delmore, the chief of the Viper’s Den South River Branch, and Kent Synder, the mayor of Riverbank. “We tried helping Casius to get control of the South River Branch and then slowly infiltrate the West State Viper’s Den.” Her words put a frosty smirk on Aiden but it faded quickly. Reiko did not notice the unusual expression. She continued, “Too bad our actions fell short. We’ve been planning for so long and spent countless efforts, but Hannah recovered even after she was completely stripped of her powers. She made a comeback and became stronger than before. “Yesterday, Casius was decapitated and Jude Gwake, the deputy chief of the South River Branch, was defeated. We lost big time…” “Wait!” Aiden interrupted her and asked, “Casius really died at Kaze Lee’s hands? If that’s true, then this guy is more than meets the eye. The so-called Riverbank Seven is a joke to the
The killers from Hell might not be the strongest but they could easily overwhelm the target with numbers. Not all organizations had the power to withstand their relentless attacks. It was also the reason that the Frost family lived in fear once they found out Midas King was after them. The fact that the Frost family members were not frightened by the news was a testament to their strong mental fortitude. Snow nodded and said coldly, “That’s why the Frost family hired the Krads and sent Aiden…” …In the car tailing Kaze and Snow sat Aiden, dressed in a white suit. He leaned back with legs crossed and a cigar smoldering between his fingers. He expressionlessly stared at the car in front, his gaze icy. Beside him was a woman in a traditional Ryokanian outfit. Her black traditional outfit had golden linings around the edges and an open chest design, showing off her large bosoms wrapped in bandages and her shoulder with a tattoo in red and green. The woman’s hair was tied i
The Frost family wanted to unite with the Krads by marrying Snow to Aaron. Therefore, when Kaze mentioned the Krad family, Snow turned to him and asked softly, “Mr. Chairman, did you know which organization of assassins was after the Frost family?” “Which one?” Kaze had no idea. When May visited Lilyrose, he overheard a mention of the Frost family’s enemies returning for revenge, with the leader being Midas King. Snow said, “The organization has many names. At first, they were known as Hellsearch, but people eventually just called them Hell. “I heard they don’t take normal payments to take lives. It’s either gold bars or a debt.” Kaze narrowed his eyes and said, “So once they had their eyes on a target, they would do whatever it takes and send them to hell?” There were meanings behind their name. The first would be that the killers of Hellsearch were difficult to find, or in a more direct iteration, as hard as hell to search. Secondly, once Hell received an assignment
Draig’s expression might have darkened but he was able to hold his emotions back. He knew Snow was trying to make him mad. As for Kaze, if even Cyan had no respect for him, he believed Snow would never lower herself to such standards. Draig was confident that he could move Snow with his actions and eventually, he could get under her pants. “What’s the matter with Draig?” Kaze asked Snow after they got into the car. Snow lifted her chin slightly and said, “We were at St. Mary Hospital for a while back then. This guy wanted to protect me 24/7, and on the first day, he tried to hold my hands and said it was love at first sight. “The second day, he tried to get into my room. After I scolded him, he said he grew up in Uleania and people there are open-minded. “I kicked him out, but then he got to Cyan and used her to bring me here. He’s just a shameless guy. I hate people like him.” After going through thick and thin with Kaze, Snow started to show her more vulnerable and fe
Kaze’s frivolous tone left Jude speechless, his eyelids even twitched helplessly. He did not argue and simply nodded without hesitation. “I will transfer my remaining shares to Buffy.” He knew Kaze was not trying to negotiate with him. If it was a suggestion from Kaze, then there would be no space for resistance or negotiations. Kaze nodded and hummed a reply. He did not show any mercy to Jude, the old fox. Jude was on the weaker side at the moment and he was doing everything he could to earn favors. Therefore, Kaze wanted to use the chance to secure some benefits for Buffy. Otherwise, once he was no longer in “power”, Jude would turn on him faster than a bolt of lightning. Kaze continued eating and lecturing Jude and Alfonso. The two old men nodded repeatedly and were as obedient as loyal dogs. After the meal, Kaze rejected Juan’s offer to relax at a hot spring and then went back to Cyan’s gathering. “Oh, Kaze! You’re back. You haven’t eaten anything right?”
Kaze had a wonderful meal at Emerald Bull Palace. The dishes prepared by the chef were amazing. “Branch Leader, with this cup of tea, I propose a toast.” Jude got up with a cup of tea in his hand and proposed a toast. Kaze did not drink alcohol, so the others dared not consume it either. He picked up the cup for a sip and then continued eating while waiting for Jude to speak his true intention. He knew Jude had something in his mind. Jude then bowed and said, “Branch Leader, Alfonso and I are here today at Emerald Bull Palace to discuss how we should apologize to you. “As for other ulterior motives, after yesterday, I have gotten rid of them. From today onward, I will serve you wholeheartedly. “As for Buffy, I have also apologized to her. I used my connection to transfer her mother to the best rehabilitation center in Westeros. Also, from today onward, Buffy will be the head of the Gwakes. She will have the power to decide every affair in the household. “Both my fat
“Branch Leader?!” Juan was also shocked, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Master! Master Lee is not just my savior, he’s the benefactor of my entire lineage! He practically gave me a second life! He’s like my parents reincarnated!” He looked proud when he described Kaze as if calling a young man master was the proudest thing he could do. Little did others know, Kaze did help Juan expand The Oracle’s Codex of the 16 Cosmic Keys to 32 keys. Juan had been working on deciphering the keys for some time now. The more he studied, the more he realized his knowledge of The Oracle was ridiculous and a bunch of bullshit. Yet even with the bullshit, his lineage was extended for multiple generations. He was excited the more he learned because he knew that the new keys that he got from Kaze would only make his lineage stronger in the future. Alfonso barely reacted to Juan’s words but Jude was shocked and jealous. Something must have happened between Kaze and Juan be
As Kaze expected, Alfonso was indeed afraid of being abandoned after he served his purpose of cleansing the Butterworth Branch. He was afraid that once he completed his task, Kaze would kick him away to calm the raging agents down. If Kaze had such intention, given Alfonso’s current situation, he could not do anything but accept it. Fortunately, Kaze did not have such plans. “Fine. Let’s go to Juan.” Kaze nodded and gestured at them to lead the way. “This way, Branch Leader!” Jude and Alfonso bowed respectfully, then adopted a gesture of invitation before leading the way forward. It was then that Natalie, Cyan’s assistant, who was sent to fetch wine from the car, stepped out and saw the shocking scene, leaving her speechless. Jude and Alfonso were frightened by Draig but the two of them remained prominent figures. Yet she saw them bowing and nodding in front of Kaze, acting like they were his loyal followers. Natalie was arrogant but not stupid. Connecting the s
