The Laime couple was furious when they saw Darcy come back with a new car, which she should not have bought and instead used the money to save their son.“We cleared your son’s debt last night and now you want us to save him again? Do you think we’re your personal ATM?” Darcy argued. “Yes, you are our fucking ATM! Your mother killed my daughter!” Lance argued righteously. “Darcy, I told your mother to take care of Larry in the hospital but she let Hades take him away! You have to bring him back!” Naomi climbed up the car and threw a tantrum like an uncivilized little girl. Darcy frowned. She asked Kaze, “What did Hades say when he took Larry away? He wants us to pay him again?” Kaze would not let the same thing happen twice. “Hades did not ask for money this time. He simply wanted Larry to do labor work at his casino and he would let the big baby back when he’s done.” Lance and Naomi’s reaction shifted when they heard Kaze. “How could Hades force Larry to do labor work
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Darcy asked. Sky said Agnes had been praising Kaze on the way back but based on what Darcy saw, her mother’s attitude toward Kaze did not change at all. Agnes looked upset. She said, “Your aunt just called and scolded me! She said Kaze snatched Samus and Deborah’s car! “They booked it for five million! Then, Kaze made the seller give it to him because he knew someone powerful!” Karen, Samus and Deborah’s mother, was a feisty woman. She had never taken Darcy and her family seriously and always bullied Agnes when she got the chance. Karen heard about the car from Samus and Deborah so she called Agnes and scolded her for being cheap. Darcy then realized it was not Miru but Kaze who brought back three expensive cars. “Mom, Samus used the money he got from selling our house to book the car. Kaze was just taking back the car!” Darcy defended Kaze. Sky adhered, “Yeah, Mom! You were not there at Taurus Automobiles! Samus and Deborah were frustrating! They l
Sky was shocked. Given Darcy’s temper, she might really thrash his new car; especially since she became the CEO of Quintessential Group, her aura got stronger, and she could do things she never did before! Being her brother, Sky felt scared and guilty. “Just think about what you want to do after you graduate.” Kaze tapped his shoulder and walked away. Sky squatted in front of his new car and pondered. Then, a Maybach stopped by the house’s entrance. Jessica, who accused James of plagiarism back in the day, was in front of the car. She just found out that Kaze stayed at Horizon Mirror. When Kaze came out, she went up to him immediately. “Kaze, have you eaten lunch? Why don’t we go to lunch?” “I had lunch,” Kaze simply said and walked past her. Jessica dared not speak another word and went up to her car to open the door for him. “Are we going to Springville District?” Jessica got into the driver’s seat and asked as she fastened her seatbelt. The White family’s
Dagon’s words scared Jessica. She dared not associate herself with Kaze, so she quickly explained, “Mr. Conery, this is my friend. I am buying the mansion for him.” Jessica knew Kaze wanted to keep a low profile, so she did not reveal his identity as the chairman of Perfect World Group, or else Dagon would be shocked. Dagon felt relieved. He sized up Kaze carefully and noticed there were no branded items on him. He immediately looked down on Kaze. How could a poor person like Kaze afford the mansion? It must be a joke. Could he be Jessica’s sugar baby? He might. Jessica might look like a virtuous and professional lady but it seemed like she was quite playful in private. Dagon grew more confident in getting into her pants. “Well then, let’s go in and have a look.” Dagon brought them into the mansion. After a brief tour, Kaze was quite happy with what he saw. The mansion was idle for two years but it was well maintained and cleaned regularly. All the decoratio
“What are you talking about, Mr. Conery!?” Jessica frowned. She was not an idiot and immediately sensed his perverted gaze on her. As a beautiful woman in the business world, she had encountered many perverts like Dagon. All of them looked at her as if she was the juiciest prey in the jungle. She did not expect Dagon to use the mansion to approach her. “Ms. Summer, we are all players here. You don’t need to act in front of me. One night with me and you can take the mansion for eighty million. “One night and you save seventy million. You are a successful businesswoman and you should know it’s a bargain,” Dagon said with an evil grin. His perverted gaze sized up Jessica again. He even started to breathe heavily. “Mr. Conery, I am not a child!” Jessica stepped backward and glared at Dagon. “The price of his mansion is only eighty million, and that’s the price your bank gave you!” Dagon raised the price to 150 million because he wanted to use it to sleep with her and th
The mansion was the home of James and his family. Now the man in charge of selling it, Dagon, threatened Kaze to sell it to some Tom, Dick, and Harry for orgy parties. He had definitely crossed Kaze’s line. Kaze’s expression turned grim. He went over and kicked the man again. “You are just the person in charge of this place. If I want to buy this mansion, even your director would have to hand it over to me without questions,” Kaze said coldly. Ptooey! Dagon spat the blood on the floor and covered his mouth. His gaze turned grim as he bellowed, “You piece of shit! You are just a sugar baby, what are you talking about?!” Kaze called Snow immediately. Meanwhile, in a coffee shop, Snow was having coffee with Mathias. “Snow, you are the eldest daughter of the Frost family, why did you come all the way here to this city just to become someone’s assistant? With your background and capabilities, you can be the chairwoman of Perfect World Group.” Mathias was sitting opposite
Meanwhile in the mansion, Dagon was still acting arrogantly. “Jessica Summer, let me fuck you and I’ll let this piece of shit go! Or else I will make him pay for hitting me!” Jessica did not even look at him. She did not want to inform Dagon that Kaze commanded the Tiger Fangs and the police department to arrest all the gangsters in the city. She also did not want to tell him that Kaze was the mysterious chairman of Perfect World Group. In terms of power and money, Dagon was nothing before Kaze. Dagon was challenging Kaze’s patience by threatening her or him. Then, the director of South Bank, Ramsay, arrived. “Director Scotch? What are you doing here?!” Dagon got up on his feet and went over to his director. He pointed at Kaze and grumbled, “Director, this guy here beat me up! Look at this, I’m bleeding…” Ramsay looked at Kaze. He had never seen Kaze in person but since there were only three people in the house, Kaze must be the mysterious Mr. Lee. “Bleeding? I’ll b
Jessica felt her soul shaking! Kaze was targeting the top three families who had rooted themselves deeply in Lilyrose City! Even if Kaze was the chairman of Perfect World Group, would he be able to overthrow the top three families’ rule? “Mind your own business.” Kaze shot a warning gaze at her. He did not want the top three families to know he was Jesse White. The name Jesse White was a deterrent to the top three families and it alone was enough to make them anxious. He even asked Draco to forge an identity for Jesse White. The identity of Jesse White became legitimate with all the necessary documents. Even if the top three families ran background checks on him, they would not be able to find any clues. “I understand!” Jessica straightened her body and swore to take the secret to her grave. Ramsay was smart enough to follow Jessica. He pledged his loyalty and swore to never spill a word. Kaze shot a glance at Dagon. Dagon shivered as he looked at Kaze in fear
Kaze’s phone rang. The call was from Snow in the car. He knew she was concerned about the situation, so he answered the phone and said, “It’s someone I knew. He was tortured and then tossed on the road. Stay in the car, and tell the driver to stay put.” Kaze realized someone set up a trap to keep him busy there. The mastermind behind this must be related to the person in the car that tailed them earlier. In other words, they might have been surrounded already. That was why he dared not let the driver drive Snow away. The driver was just an ordinary man, not a professional bodyguard. Based on his reaction to the crash, his mental state was fragile. If Kaze allowed the driver to drive Snow away, literally moving Snow away from his sight, it would only put her in danger. Kaze had to keep Snow close to himself. “Snow, call Conan. He’ll know what to do.” Kaze hung up the phone and took a pouch from his inner pocket. Inside the pouch was a set of silver needles. After per
There was only one mountainous path back to the city center from Emerald Bull Palace, and it was usually less crowded. After the car drove off and stopped tailing them, Kaze finally breathed a sigh of relief and got a shuteye.The Ghastly Thirteen Needles was indeed a powerful technique. He performed on Sasha yesterday and it consumed a lot of his energy. He had yet to recover fully after a whole day. Bang! Suddenly, a loud bang came from the front of the car, seemingly hitting something. The driver, assigned to Snow by St. Mary Hospital, immediately stepped on the brake and caused the car to screech to a stop. The car shook violently for a few moments before it stopped by the side of the road. “I’m sorry, Ms. Frost! Something suddenly appeared on the road and I couldn’t react in time. I think I hit it…” The driver turned around and apologized before he went out to check. When the driver had a better look at what happened, he was petrified on the spot, his face paled.
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
