“Honey, this is the last time I’ll bathe you. We’ve been married for three years but we’ve never made love. I want you to pop my cherry before we divorce…” Kaze Lee sat in the bathtub with Darcy Quint behind him. Her voluptuous body was pressed against his back and her slender hands were exploring his body. The water showered the two of them, producing a bodily fragrance in the air. Darcy poured body shampoo onto Kaze’s muscular body. Her delicate hands stroked his abs and it made her blush. When she looked at Kaze, bitterness struck her and tears rolled down her cheeks. Kaze’s head was slightly tilted. His handsome face looked blank and dull while he drooled uncontrollably as if he were a mindless puppet. “Honey, what happened in the past three years? What made you like this?” Darcy sobbed. Three years ago, Darcy married Kaze but on their wedding night, he as the groom disappeared. The news of her husband’s escape spread like wildfire and the Quint family became the la
Loud noises of tables and chairs being overturned echoed from the phone. Draco’s excited voice followed, “Boss, is it really you?! Where have you been!? You’ve been missing for all this time and it almost drove us mad! “Since your identity is confidential, we are not permitted to locate you without official orders.” Kaze sighed and said, “I got into some trouble. I’m fine now. I have recovered.” “Someone tried to harm you? Who is it? Just one word, boss! Me and the guys will raze them to the ground,” Draco said angrily. “It’s okay,” Kaze replied coldly. He did not want others to be involved in his affair with the Lee family. He must end it with his own hands and his own hands alone. “I have something that I need you to do. Arrange for Sky High Investment Group to enter Lilyrose by tonight and announce an investment in the city worth ten billion.” He served in the army for three years. Not only did he lead his men to battle, but he also founded a business empire in another
“Kaze, you’ve recovered?!” Seeing the clarity in Kaze’s eyes, Darcy covered her mouth in disbelief, thrilled to see her husband looking lively. “Yes, Darcy, I have recovered.” Kaze looked at Darcy as his eyes teared up despite having gone through countless brutal fights on the battlefield himself. Darcy broke down in tears instantly. She was thrilled to see Kaze healthy. Kaze pulled her into his arms. He felt sorry for putting her through so much suffering all these years. “Hmph. So what if you’ve recovered? You are still a piece of trash,” Deborah said with a scoff. She sat down, pointed at the folded table in the corner, and said loudly, “Get over there and sit down. Contributing ten billion? What a joke!” Kaze frowned. He wanted to argue but Darcy stopped him and dragged him over to the corner. The four of them sat at the folded table. The others were having a feast whereas Darcy and her family were served four cups of ramen. Master Quint at the center seat loo
Looking at Kaze’s confident face, Darcy hesitated. She thought of her family’s current financial situation and it gave her no choice. She bit the bullet, got up, and said, “Grandfather, I’ll go and recover the debt.” “You stupid girl! Are you crazy? What if that gangster ripped your face apart? Henry wouldn’t want you then!” Agnes panicked. The others were shocked, including Master Quint. No one expected Darcy to take up the task. Samus and the others gloated at her. He then took a five-dollar bill and tossed it at Darcy. “This is for your bravery and for you to take the bus back.” Deborah crossed her arms and said with raised brows, “You agreed to go yourself. If anything happens to you, don't blame us.” Kaze glared at the few of them coldly. He did not even want to argue with them because they were simply clowns. He held Darcy’s hand and left the mansion. Meanwhile, Darcy’s parents were giddy with anxiety. Agnes gritted her teeth, “We must ask Henry to help us, he’s o
Lee? Pietro looked at Kaze, baffled. “There is a man named Kaze Lee, and I’m trying to teach him a lesson.” A loud thud could be heard from the other end of the line. Pietro asked, “Boss, are you alright?” Then, a thunderous roar from the man was blasted into Pietro’s ear through the phone. “Alright? I’m not f*cking alright! Are you trying to f*ck with me now?! I’m warning you, whatever that man tells you to do, you f*cking do it, understand? He is a God from now on!” Pietro was stunned. He had never seen Giovani this scared for as long as he worked for him. He instinctively asked, “Boss, are you mistaken? He’s just some trash who married into the Quint family.” “Pietro, are you trying to get yourself killed? You and I are like flies to him. One swat and we are all dead, crushed! You understand me?!” “Boss, I…” Pietro got nervous. “Last warning. That man is someone that not even I can mess with, you better take care of your own a*s!” The call ended abruptly. Pie
“Hmph!” Miru scoffed. “I would like to see how you do that. By the way, do you know where Henry is bringing us to dinner tonight? It’s the third floor of Cloud Nine! A piece of trash like you could never get into such a luxurious restaurant even if you work your entire life!” Agnes’ eyes glimmered with excitement. “The third floor of Cloud Nine?! Only Golden members can make a booking at that place!” Cloud Nine was one of the most famous restaurants in Lilyrose and only by spending above ten million on a single receipt, one would be eligible to apply for the Golden membership. Master Quint was the only one in the entire family to have a Golden member card. As for floors above the third, the required spending would be much higher. Miru glanced at Kaze and scoffed, “Kaze, this is the difference between you and Henry. I have no idea what gives you the confidence to continue staying at Darcy’s side.” “Miru, stop talking to this piece of trash. Darcy is here. Let’s go. We wouldn
“Pietro’s boss? Isn’t that Giovani Beneli?” Miru scoffed and said, “Kaze, do you even know who Giovani Beneli is? That is a big shot with a vast network and influence, even my godfather has to respect him. You are here saying that Giovani Beneli is hosting a feast for you as a token of apology? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” “Miru, if you don’t believe me, you can go up there and see for yourself,” Kaze said calmly but Miru rolled her eyes at him. Henry regained his composure and said with a smile, “I think he saw Giovani’s car at the entrance, that’s why he said so. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, or else all of us would suffer if it reaches the man’s ears.” Everyone was afraid. “I’ve had enough of your nonsense!” Agnes slammed the table and shouted, “You keep being a retard and it embarrasses us. Get out of my face or I’ll slap you to death!” “Kaze, why don’t you go first? I’ll come home after dinner.” Darcy was embarrassed as well. She got up and dra
Miru was excited to catch a glimpse of someone that prominent as well. “Darcy, let’s go have a look at the elevator later,” Miru said as she tugged on Darcy's sleeve. “I’ll pass. I have to go back with Kaze later…” Darcy was a little tipsy after a few glasses of wine. Miru sighed disappointedly and said, “You are still thinking about that retard? This is a golden opportunity! If we leave a strong impression on those people, your family won’t have to worry about money anymore!” “Then… alright.” A while later, Geoffrey received a call. Everyone got nervous. Was the important person coming down already? Geoffrey put his phone down helplessly. “My father just called and told me the dinner is over. The important person has left.” “How unfortunate. I thought we could get a glimpse of the person…” Everyone sighed. “Darcy, are you done?” Kaze came into the room. “Kaze, what are you doing here? Go away!” Miru was still reeling in the disappointment of not seeing the
“What?!” The fierce man was stunned before he had a better look at Kaze. His eyes then widened in disbelief. “I-It’s you?” The man recognized Kaze and his expression turned as white as a sheet. He clearly remembered Kaze slapped Blackie at the lounge last night, and it left an impact on him. What shocked him was that after South crippled Blackie and killed Genesis Weather, Kaze slapped South in the face to infuriate him completely.Back then, all of them thought Kaze was dead and could never walk out alive. Yet Kaze stood before him, alive and healthy, and even kicked him in the back. They had no idea what happened back in the lounge but being able to walk away from such an intense situation without a scratch was an amazing feat and it was enough for them to be terrified of Kaze. “What?” Kaze raised his hand and slapped the man again, throwing him backward and crashing into the wall behind him. The man covered his face in fear and confusion, his eyes widened in d
“I can cure him but I might not be skilled enough. I’m afraid if I proceed with the treatment with the lack of skills, the patient might be paralyzed in the future,” Holfman explained patiently. He did not tell the man that based on Blackie’s condition, he believed not even Sam could fully cure him. Sam was a reputable doctor and a titan in the medical field, but he was just a man, not God. Blackie’s injuries were severe. It was not exaggerating to say that his life was over. However, such words should not be used in front of the group of fierce men. “Cut the crap!” The man rudely interrupted the doctor and said, “Old Man, you’re not refusing to treat Blackie because I scolded you earlier, aren’t you? “If it’s true, then you should be careful in Riverbank.” Hoffman frowned. No matter how good his temper was, he could not help but show a hint of anger. In a firm tone, he said, “What are you talking about? I’ve been a doctor for decades. I have never refused to treat a pa
“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
“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
“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
“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
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
“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
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
