“Click!” Empty! The empty click caused Casius to sweat profusely, and in no time, he was drenched. He was still alive! He made it to the second round! He was thrilled! The revolver had six rounds of bullets and he made it through the second round! His luck was off the charts! A single round consisted of his and Kaze’s chances. There were two more shots left in the revolver and one of them was loaded with a bullet. Kaze had a 50-50 chance of getting shot the next time! However, before his excitement faded, Kaze took the revolver from him, aimed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger without a second thought. “Click!” Kaze’s third shot was also empty. The excited smile on Casius’ face froze. Five shots were empty, so the bullet must be in the sixth shot! In other words, the last shot would be deadly and it was Casius’ turn. His hands turned icy cold and his face paled. The tad bit of hope he had in his heart was robbed away when Kaze fired the fifth shot.
“So, you disappoint me. I guess it’s right because people like you who love to humiliate others will never learn how to play by the rules. “If I let you go today, you won’t be grateful. You will come after me with vengeance. That’s why, you should just die.” Before he even finished, Kaze started to tighten his grip over Casius’ neck. “Crack!” Following a heavy crack, disbelief, horror, and sorrow appeared on Casius’ face, but he had no time to reflect on his choice anymore. His body twitched uncontrollably, and his mouth started to foam before his head cocked backward. “Thump!” Casius then fell onto the floor like a pile of dead meat. Kaze glanced at the body for a second before he bent over to pick up Casius’ phone. He tossed the phone to Hannah, who was limping over to him. “Unlock it and send me whatever you find inside. Call someone to clean up this mess.” “Yes, Sir.” Hannah nodded and bowed. Kaze noticed Hannah’s pale look and he frowned. “The match tonight
Kaze slept well into the afternoon. He went downstairs, planning to ask Emiko to make lunch for him, when he suddenly heard Agnes' voice from the living room. “Agatha, have you heard? Something strange happened at Darcy’s company last night. Someone transferred two billion worth of shares to Sky Ocean Corporation while we were asleep. “When Darcy got the news this morning, she went back to Lilyrose to handle the matter.” Agnes was chatting with her sister, Agatha, in the living room. Agatha’s husband, Nelson, was also present and he was talking to Hector. He looked slightly jealous when he heard Agnes. Rose had an argument with her parents and she came to Kaze’s place to seek refuge. Her parents were here to pick her up. “What? Two billion? Who made the transfer?!” Agatha was shocked, her jaw dropped. The entire Otter family’s assets were only worth that much. “I don’t know. I heard it’s from a company in Riverbank.” Agnes looked delighted. “Don’t you think it’s
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.” Kaze overheard Agatha urging Agnes to make Darcy get a divorce, so he responded coldly. He then asked Emiko, who just came out from the kitchen, “Emiko, are there any leftovers from lunch?” “Mr. Lee, Ms. Quint said there shouldn’t be leftovers from all of the meals, it’s unhealthy.” Emiko cast a fearful glance at the now-angry Agnes and then steeled and said, “I’ll go make something for you.” “It’s okay. Just make me some instant ramen.” “Got it.” Kaze wanted to go back upstairs to enjoy his peace and quiet but Agnes held him back. “Kaze! Hold on right there! Explain yourself! You said you asked someone to transfer two billion to Darcy’s company? Do you think we will believe you? You’re just bragging!” Agatha and Nelson scoffed, showing no trust in Kaze’s words. Only Hector remained silent. He looked like he was pondering. After going through so much, Hector no longer jumped to conclusions regarding Kaze. He realized the live
Agatha was surprised when she heard the voice. “Maxine? What are you doing here?” The security guard from the neighborhood management brought in a group of young men and women, led by Maxine and Max. They were all the young members from the Otters. “Mrs. Quint, this young lady said she’s your niece and she’s here with gifts,” the security guard said respectfully. Maxine and the others had gifts in different sizes, like expensive bags, tea, jewellery, and watches. Agnes was shocked by the scene. The world must have spun in the other direction today. Ever since she returned to her birth family, the Otters, Maxine, Max, and the other younger ones had never taken her seriously. All of them looked down on her and her family, gave them a hard time, and tried to get them kicked out again, so coming with presents was a surprise. Even Agatha and Nelson were similarly surprised. Maxine and Max were Master and Madam Otter’s favorite grandchildren and they had been severely s
“Stop eating, you stupid pig! Get rid of that bowl of ramen and apologize!” Agnes bellowed. “Apologize?” Kaze took another slurp from his bowl and then looked at Max and the others. “Are you guys sure?” “Thump!” Max trembled. The pressure made his legs weak and forced him down on his knees. Maxine and the others knelt immediately, their faces paled. “K-Kaze, you must be joking! Why would we want you to apologize?!” “Yeah! It’s us who should be apologizing!” “We were wrong and we came here with gifts to ask for forgiveness!” Agnes and the others in the house were shocked by Max and Maxine’s response. What happened?! Why did Max, Maxine, and the others knelt before Kaze?! The seniors of the house were all speechless. “Oh, so you guys are here to ask for forgiveness? Then keep it up. Thirty minutes later, get up and get out. I have to finish my ramen first,” Kaze said coldly before he turned around and left. Agnes and the others were stunned at the entrance for q
“What did you say? Kaze really asked someone to transfer the two billion shares to Sky Ocean Corporation?!” Agnes stared at Maxine, her eyes widened in disbelief. Hector, Agatha, and Nelson were also astonished, their jaws dropped. “Yeah. Kaze was serious about it. He forced Patrick to make the transfer and even asked the Southern Tiger to watch over us, making sure the transfer was made before we could go.” Maxine’s voice trembled when she saw Agnes’ astonished gaze. Shocked, Max quickly stepped in and said, “No, it’s not like that! It’s Patrick who did wrong, that’s why Kaze made him perform the transfer. It’s not his fault, it’s ours. That’s why we are here with gifts to apologize to him.” “Yes! Yes!” The others nodded in agreement. As a matter of fact, Agnes and her family no longer cared about what Max and Maxine said. They were so stunned that they could not give a proper response. Back at the dining area, after Kaze finished his instant ramen, he got an unexp
“Hmph! All he did was transfer two billion to Darcy’s company! What gives him the right to talk to me like that? Does he think we need his money?” Hector, Agatha, and Nelson were speechless by Agnes’ swift change of attitude. It would be strange for Kaze to show her any respect or courtesy after the way she had treated him. … Kaze heard Agnes but he simply ignored it. Half an hour later, he arrived at Herbal Spring. The place was rather crowded, probably because Holfman was in the establishment and had been around for some time now. The three greatest doctors typically resided in Westeros, but now that they had come to Riverbank, many patients sought consultation from them—some traveling from as far as Butterworth. Kaze spotted a slender yet beautiful figure in the busy lobby—it was Sasha. She was running around, helping out—busy yet clearly enjoying herself. Her cheeks flushed from all the running and panting. She would pause to wipe her sweat from time to time. Wh
“Please calm down. I have to examine him further.” Hoffman had decades of experience in the medical field. He had met people even more disrespectful than the man, so he was not bothered and simply told him to calm down. He then stepped closer to the bed, slightly bent over, and started to touch Blackie’s arms and legs. “Ugh…” The barely unconscious Blackie groaned in pain when Holfman examined his injuries. “Fuck! You bastard! Get your hands off Blackie!” “Thump!” The man with the flabby cheeks slammed his fist on the side table, sending all the medical instruments crashing to the floor. The other men glared at Holfman, some even tried to pull the doctor away from Blackie. Seeing his master being scolded, Sebastian bellowed, “Shut up if you don’t know anything! Dr. Wright is examining the patient’s bones! If we don’t understand the extent of the damage, how can we treat him?” The man was struck with realization after being shouted at. He looked at Holfman sinister
