Rudy had made a deal with the Hansers to let them take over Passion Fragrance District and in return, they agreed to help kick Darcy out of the company and the rights to sell the houses in Passion Fragrance District would be theirs. Rudy agreed without a second thought. Vincent would be his son-in-law soon, so he could use this chance to strengthen the bond between the two families. With a first-tier family’s support, Rudy’s position would also solidify within the family. Master Quint would not be able to relieve him of his duty at will. He would have to think twice. “No, we’ll just delay the pre-sale and wait for the coast to clear,” Master Quint disagreed. He was anxious but he managed to think straight. He refused to give the Hanser family control of their core project. “Grandfather, we cannot delay the pre-sale. The whole world thinks our company is having a problem and we must prove them wrong! Or else no one will buy our houses!” Samus said, trying to dissuade Mas
Agnes knew Kaze had nothing to do with this but she vented her anger on him anyway. Kaze did not say a word. As a matter of fact, he had made the necessary calls to inquire about what happened. Then, Miru came to the house. “You can’t even protect your wife, what good are you?” she sneered at Kaze as soon as she saw him. She then pulled her phone out for a call. “Mayor Brooks, I’m Miru Scarlet, goddaughter of Alan Cummingham. I want to know about the charges my friend, Darcy, faces. Can you do something about it? A million bucks is not a huge amount.” She did not care if Darcy was framed or not, she just wanted to do whatever she could to get her out. Johnson said, “Ms. Scarlet, I’ve been paying close attention to Ms. Quint’s case and I’ve ordered the chief of police to investigate. I’ve also used every connection I have to make things happen. “But this case is handled by the state, and the state police are involved. The commissioner of the State Economic Investigatio
“Of course.” Han came out after hearing the commotion. He signaled the officer and said, “Bring him in.” He then looked at the other man beside Kaze who looked flamboyant with the pair of shades. “What are you here for?” “I’m bored out of my mind, so I came here, turning myself in just to see how you interrogate suspects.” “Nonsense! The special unit is here for investigations. It is a place where the laws are abided and justice is served, not a place for you to fool around!” Han was furious when he heard Draco’s teases. He waved at the other uniformed officers. “Toss this man out!” However, the two uniformed officers did not move as if they were petrified. “Are you two deaf? Can’t you hear me?!” Han turned around and bellowed. “C-Commissioner, t-that’s Chief Commander Lang!” said one of the officers. He had to muster all his strength and courage to spell Draco’s name and title. “Chief Commander Lang? Which Chief Commander Lang?” Han frowned. He did not understand
Special protection did not equal special authority. It was a special service that the Strategic Department set up for people like Kaze who was well decorated with honorable achievements on the battlefield. People like Kaze had many enemies and they would try to hurt not only him but also his family, including but not limited to framing or temptation. Therefore the Strategic Department set up the service to ensure his and his family’s safety. Before a special protection target was arrested by local authorities or law enforcements, the highest authority in the Strategic Department would intervene and verify the matter. The Strategic Department would also be involved after the case was filed and would monitor the case without interfering. Darcy was Kaze’s legal wife, so she was part of the protection service. Han was stunned like a bolt of lightning struck him. He looked at Kaze in shock. “Y-You are the God of War?!” He clearly remembered Kaze calling himself Darcy’s h
“Nonsense! The cells are divided by gender! You don’t know that?” Darcy gave Kaze a tap full of love. She then looked him in the eyes. “You turned yourself in?” She broke down in tears. She hugged him tightly and nuzzled against his face. “Kaze, thank you for being by my side. I know even if the world abandons me, you will still be with me.” Darcy was framed by Rudy and his family, and abandoned by her grandfather. She was devastated. She was not asking for much—not expecting Kaze to save her, but just wanted him to be by her side at a time of crisis. After a long hug, Darcy released Kaze and wiped her tears away. “Kaze, don’t turn yourself in. If they question you, don’t say anything. No one knows you are faking your mental disability, they can’t do anything to you. “When you get out, help me take care of my parents, and Sky. Grandfather and the others will go after my parents. You are my only hope now…” Darcy teared up as she spoke. Kaze tapped her shoulder and co
Jean was surprised for a moment before she jumped off the bed. She did not expect to see Darcy in person. “Ms. Quint, watch your words. I didn’t lie,” Jean said expressionlessly. Darcy said coldly, “No? I have never given you a million dollars and made you leave the company! You lied! It’s false! How much did they give you to turn you against me!?” Jean was a beautiful woman. She was also in charge of the company’s public relations, so she was good at inspecting people. She was not scared just because Darcy shouted at her. She glanced at Han who was behind them and scoffed, “Ms. Quint, are you trying to get something out of me? Then let me tell you that I did it out of my own will, no one paid me or anything! “You gave me a million bucks. You even signed the document and submitted it to the finance department. The evidence is all there! Just accept it! It’s not going to work!” Darcy noticed Jean was confident in her words and she knew Jean was another Joy. They were bas
“Darcy, how does it feel when everyone turns against you? First you had Lilyrose Bank’s Liben Radar, and now Ned Brooks, the former chief of the Housing Department! With that many charges on you, you are going to spend the rest of your life in jail!” Jean grinned viciously. Darcy used to be the COO of the company and Jean was just a secretary. The difference in position was huge. Now Jean became Darcy's gravedigger, a job she was happy to do. Darcy was devastated upon hearing Jean. Ned was brought into the room. He was crippled and his hand was hanging in front of his chest in a cast. His injuries required at least a hundred days to heal and it had only been less than two weeks since Kaze wreaked havoc at the Housing Department. It was Johnson who dragged him out of the hospital and brought him here. Han said, “You claimed to have important evidence? Let’s talk in the other room.” Ned looked at Kaze in fear. It had been around two weeks but his fear of Kaze lingered
“I have a video on my phone. You can have a look, Commissioner.” Han took the phone from Ned. Albeit the poor quality of the preview, it showed a woman and a man hugging. Han glanced at Darcy. He did not play it immediately because he was afraid that the filthy content would be inappropriate. “Commissioner Feyan, just play it. My wife is not a child,” Kaze said. Han then tapped on the play button. It was the footage of Ned and Jean in bed, not while having sex, but their cuddling and smoking session after they had done the deed. Their conversation was recorded clearly. Ned gave Jean a card containing a million dollars and wanted her to leave Quintessential Group the next day. Jean fell for the temptation and took the card. She delicately asked what Ned wanted from her. Ned said he planned to sabotage Quintessential Group’s project and make the company send Darcy over to negotiate with him. Jean was delighted. She even praised Darcy for her beauty and body, which a
