“So what if I want to push it? You think I won’t slap you because of the Weather family, because of Casius Weather, and because of Genesis Weather? “I’m telling you, now and here! I won’t let this go so easily! Not you, not Genesis, not anyone can tell me otherwise! “I am in charge here!” The long-haired young man slapped Patrick in the face again and again, landing red slap marks on both cheeks. Patrick was pushed back by the force and his face quickly swelled up. He covered his face but could not cover his anger. He bellowed, “Hey, my cousin is almost here! Show some respect!” Slap! The long-haired young man slapped him once more, sending him to the floor. “Respect? Fine. I’ll wait for your cousin and see what respect she can get.” Spat! The long-haired young man spat on Patrick before he wiped his hands with a wet towel. “Where’s Kaze Lee?! Get the hell out here!” Suddenly, a woman’s sharp voice sounded from outside the establishment. A ferocious-looking wo
“Madam, there he is!” One of Genesis’ men pointed at Kaze with an ashened look. Genesis looked in the direction he pointed and immediately spotted Kaze standing among the crowd, looking at hers indifferently. She grinned and walked over to him. “Kaze Lee, you’re still here even though you know I’m coming? I have to give it to your boldness. Today, no Kent Synder or Ryken Santigo is here to support you. Do you think you can walk out of here alive?” Her words silenced the entire hall, even the air felt like it stood still. It was a surprise that the daughter of the Weather family acted even more ferociously than the long-haired young man, who beat up and crippled Blackie in Buckridge Lounge and that was already terrifying. Now with Genesis, she claimed that she wanted Kaze dead. Many of the guests stared at Kaze in shock, puzzled over what he could have done to provoke such intense hatred from her. Could the live-in husband wronged her somewhat and they were romanticall
“What’s the matter? Scared?” Genesis grinned wickedly. She glanced at Rose in Kaze’s arms and reached out to stroke her face. “What a beautiful and youthful girl. Is she your sister? She’s still a virgin right? After I kill you, I’ll sell her to a brothel and I’m sure she will be the most popular girl!” Rose’s face turned pale at her words. She was innocent and pure but she understood every word that Genesis said. Slap! Kaze slapped Genesis in the face. “If you don’t want to lose your other arm, I’d suggest you take back your filthy hand.” “Kaze Lee! You are testing my limits! How dare you slap me now!” Genesis covered her face and glared at Kaze. “Are you not afraid of death?” She wanted to break Kaze mentally and make him kneel before her, crying and begging before she ultimately crushed him. Had it not for her twisted desire, she would have attacked Kaze already. “You? Killing me?” Kaze scoffed, “Genesis, when you were with the Tiger’s Cave, you had a team of m
The entire Buckridge Lounge was dead silent. Everyone exchanged a puzzled look, wondering how a party turned into a massacre. Genesis did not sound like she was joking either. Everyone looked at Kaze with sympathy, murmuring that he must have bad luck to provoke a mad woman like Genesis. It was obvious that the experts from the Iron Tigers dropped out of the agency at the last minute just to help Genesis with her vengeance over Kaze. With that, after they killed Kaze and the Flying Dragons demanded an explanation, the agency would not be involved. In short, Ryken might have saved Kaze once but if they wanted Kaze dead, they had a lot of ways to overcome the obstacle too. That would be from Genesis’ perspective. After all, she did not know that Kaze never needed the Flying Dragons to protect him. “What’s the matter? Afraid?” Genesis smirked coldly as if she had the situation under control. “Tell me your last words and I’ll make sure they are delivered to your wife.”
Based on what Genesis knew, other than the mysterious Tiger King who was one of the Riverbank Seven, Southern Tiger was also one of the Eight Tigers of the Steelclaw Guild. If even someone of Casius’ status would bow to the Tiger King, one could only imagine how terrifying the Steelclaw Guild was. Genesis remained nervous as she pondered how to settle the problem. The thought agitated her and put murderous intentions on her face. She raised her hand and bellowed, “Stop wasting time with this punk! Get…” Swoosh! Before she could finish, a bottle of beer flew in from behind and hit the back of the head of the man who tried to attack Kaze. “Aaaargh!” The ex-Iron Tigers member cried in pain as he covered the back of his head. He turned around ferociously, trying to spot who ambushed him but then his eyes rolled back and passed out on the spot. “Who was it? Who ambushed my man!? Get the hell out here?!” Looking at the unconscious man on the floor, Genesis shouted furiously
“Hehehe, it’s been a while since someone spoke to me like that.” The long-haired young man chuckled as he stood up. He looked at Genesis coldly and said, “Since you’ve already admitted it, then you and your trashy men can die.” Genesis’ expression darkened. She bellowed, “Kill this son of a bitch!” The ex-Iron Tigers members exchanged a quick, hesitant look. They sensed a tremendous threat from the young man and, unless absolutely necessary, they did not want to engage him. Just as they were hesitating, the young man made a move. Swoosh! As the young man shook the whiskey bottle, amber liquid spilled out, transforming mid-air into a sharp, precise arrow that shot directly into the eyes of the nearest ex-Iron Tigers member. “Aaargh!” The burning sensation forced the man to cover his eyes but he was experienced enough to maintain his calm. Despite being blinded temporarily, he retreated immediately, hoping to find cover behind his colleagues. However, the long-haired yo
South Stormborn. One of the Riverbank Seven, who shared the same status as Casius Weather, Jet Frost, and Hunter Yaphet. He also had another identity—the Southern Tiger, one of the Eight Tigers of the Steelclaw Guild. He was the only one active in public, helping the guild to deal with all kinds of business and connections. He could be considered the deputy minister of the guild. He was able to carry out his activities openly without any scruples because the guild was extremely powerful and terrifying. On top of that, the Steelclaw Guild remained a force to be reckoned with, even the officials could not eliminate them. Therefore, until the guild was taken down, the authorities refrained from pursuing him, fearing retaliation from its members. After all, the guild was mysterious yet extremely well-connected. If they insist on causing trouble, the authorities would be forced into a passive position. Everyone else in the room was stunned. Even Blackie, who got crippled
Patrick’s face paled at South’s words. He knew he could not escape anymore, so he bit the bullet and stepped out. Thump! He knelt before South and spoke in a trembling voice, “S-Southern Tiger, I-I am sorry! I offended you! I am terribly sorry! Please forgive me! Spare my life!” Patrick lost every bit of intention in arguing with South. Genesis’ death was imprinted in his mind and all that was left was a survival instinct.With that in mind, he started to kowtow to South. “Mr. Stormborn, sir! Please give me another chance! It’s Max who started it! We can leave him here and you can punish him however you want! Just let me go! Please!” Max collapsed on the floor when he heard Patrick. His legs grew weak and his body started shaking due to extreme fear. Maxine stood stiff like a statue, her face pale and emotionless. The arrogant brother and sister lost their arrogance and pride. “You’re teaching me how to do things around here?” South tapped Patrick on the face and m
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
