Before this, Pamela was all fired up and was ready to face any challenges from the Krad family. Yet after she witnessed what Aiden did in just one day, her confidence was shattered. She felt inferior and weak in front of Aiden. Kaze, on the other hand, should look into the mirror instead of speaking like a clown, claiming that he could deal with Aiden. Slam! Darcy slammed the table, her expression darkened. “Shut up!” Pamela looked at Darcy, frightened. She had never seen her boss this angry, not even when Aiden threatened her on the phone. Darcy was protective of her useless husband and it surprised Pamela. “Darcy, calm down. You don’t need to worry about all that. Just take some rest.” Kaze calmed her down and seated her back on the chair. He said gently, “As for the auction, leave it to me.” Pamela rolled her eyes once more. She still assumed Kaze was useless and wanted to act like he had the power. Why would he ask Darcy to rest instead of urging her to make
Pamela bowed at Kaze and begged him, saying, “Even if you ignore me and won’t do it, what about Ms. Quint? Have you considered her? Must you make her lose everything before you are satisfied?” Kaze glanced at the women coldly and bellowed, “Can you shut up? I have been putting up with your nonsense until now because you are Darcy’s employee. One more word of nonsense and I will make you leave immediately.” He had had it with the woman’s negative thoughts. “You…” Pamela was frustrated. She did not expect the useless trash who always bragged about what he could do to scold her. Darcy put on a strict look and said, “Pamela, Kaze’s words are my words. I am willing to give him a chance to try and that means I have already made up my mind. “You are my assistant. You can provide me with suggestions but after the decision is made, you just have to carry it out, not question me. “From the moment you saw Kaze, you’ve been disrespecting him and I didn’t even say anything about that.
While Pamela struggled to make sense of the situation, Kaze led Darcy out of the office. After walking out of the main entrance, Kaze brought Darcy to the riverside beside the building for a stroll. He wanted to let her relax her mind and body. Their driver was tailing them. Darcy never tried strolling by the riverside to relax but she followed Kaze anyway. “Feeling better now?” Kaze asked with a smile as the wind caressed their faces. With two billion credited into the company account, they could pay the bank immediately. More importantly, it also cleared up the rumor about Sky Ocean Corporation having financial problems. “I feel better now. I even believe that you can help me pay ten billion tomorrow,” Darcy said with a sweet smile. “But, I think you owe me an explanation about how you get the money. Is Perfect World Group that rich?” Darcy knew Kaze was more than met the eye. He was not the useless trash that others claimed him to be. He easily got two billion in
Kaze could do nothing about Darcy’s jealousy but steeled himself up and said, “Of course I am a good boss. If I can’t help my employee in times of need, how can I leave her in charge while I am away?” His words made sense. Kaze always presented himself to people as an idle person with a lot of free time at hand. Perfect World Group was a big company and Snow had to take care of everything because she was capable. “You and your strange theory.” Darcy grunted and then asked, “Then what about Buffy Gwake? She’s not your employee, but I heard someone tried to help her become the chairwoman of Gwake Corporation, and even became the vice chairman himself.” Sensing the dangerous gaze from her eyes, Kaze quickly said, “It’s that one time. I actually got a billion shares of Gwake Corporation because of that.” In other words, it was purely business and nothing more. Darcy scoffed, “Then what about before that? Aside from the fact that you let her stay in the villa, I also heard t
“Get out of the way, you shithead!” The two young skateboarders shouted at the man in their way. They even pulled out a knife from their waists, ready to stab the man to clear a path for their escape. Suddenly, the man in the trenchcoat lifted his arm and revealed a small handgun in his hand. Thump! Thump! Two shots were fired from the silenced handgun, striking them in the legs. “Ugh!” “Aaarh!” As the two young men cried in pain, they lost balance and crashed on the ground, losing their skateboards in the fall. The two of them lay on the ground, spitting blood. The crash must have broken their ribs. One of them mustered enough strength to look up at the man with resentment. “W-Who the hell are you? Who sent you?” “Leron.” The man in the trenchcoat was standing right in front of them. “The Sharpshooter Leron?!” Shocked, the two young men looked at him in disbelief. “You’ve heard of me? It seems like you are not just some skater boys.” Leron squatted down
Villa No.1. Kaze and Darcy returned home with their hands clung together and it angered Agnes. “Darcy, you are the branch head of the Quint family of Ridgesouth, shouldn’t you be more aware of your image? Why are you being so intimate with a man?” she bellowed. Darcy sighed and said, “Mom, can you please not? What’s wrong with me holding my husband’s hand?” “I am saying this for your own good and you are talking back? You have to present yourself as a mature and responsible person! You should really stay away from this little shit. He will only make you look bad!” Agnes argued. She had been trying to get them to divorce for some time, but Darcy was at Lilyrose until today, so she hadn’t had the chance. Darcy did not want to waste time with her mother. She muttered, “If you are concerned about me, you should ask about my work or transfer one or two billion to my company account…” “What did you say? One billion? Two billion?” Agnes narrowed her eyes. “Nothing.” Darcy di
After a quiet night, Darcy received a call from Pamela as soon as she woke up the next morning.“Ms. Quint, the auction committee just called. They said the ten billion must be transferred by noon today, or else we won’t be qualified to attend the auction. “What time are you coming to the office? Maybe we can discuss how to talk to Aiden Krad and ask him to let us off. “Ms. Quint, you should know that even though we managed to pay off the banks yesterday, all we did was clear the rumors of our financial problem. If Aiden Krad is determined to beat us down, he still has a lot of ways.” After witnessing Kaze coming up with three billion in an hour yesterday, Pamela knew she should not look down on the live-in husband anymore, but she still lacked confidence about him getting ten billion for the deposit. Three billion was considered a huge fund in the market, but ten billion was on a whole new level. It required time to gather that much funds in such a short time. After recei
The voice of an angry man boomed. “Woah? A three-million-dollar vase?” As the scene brimmed with excitement, a crowd gathered to watch the drama. Kaze was not one to stay for the drama. Given the recent events, especially the splash of blood last night, Kaze was cautious of mass gatherings. He took Darcy’s hand and said to the staff, “Do you have a quieter place?” “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to!” The familiar voice of a girl came from outside the door. The cry was tinged with sobs, and fear was apparent. Kaze furrowed his brows. “Sasha?” “Who is she, Kaze?” Darcy asked. Kaze replied, “It’s Emiko’s niece. I got her into Herbal Spring to get treatment and help. What is she doing here?” One thing was for sure, Sasha was in trouble. Without another word, Kaze took Darcy along to squeeze past the crowd. “Smack!” A middle-aged plump lady slapped Sasha in the face. “Don’t give me that sad look. You’re not fooling anyone!“You didn’t even look where you were goin
“No! My daughter is still in the hospital!” Katie refused to accept her punishment. She started to regret her decision but it was too late. “Now only you think about your daughter? I guess you are not that foolish, but have you thought about her when you betrayed Chairman Lee? “Don’t worry. Leah knew Chairman Lee personally and we won’t hurt her, but she might not live a good life anymore,” Snow said coldly. She did not want to put the girl in a difficult situation but her life as a princess would come to an end. “You can’t do that!” Katie could not believe Snow would do that. “I bet you never thought of the consequences when you leaked the information. Too bad. You’ve lost.” Snow revealed the truth because she wanted Katie to suffer for the decision she made. Katie would now regret every decision she made because she knew she had jeopardized her daughter’s life. She would feel like a fool. She devoted her life to climbing higher to gain more power but she ignored the
“I went to a bar to have a drink and I bumped into an informant of the Viper’s Den.” Katie looked helpless as she explained as if everything that had happened was planned out for her, pushing her to the edge step by step. It was a lively night at the bar. The atmosphere was pleasant and most of the guests were having a good time. Katie was a single woman. She needed care and love at times. She was alone when she visited the bar. She started off by ordering some drinks at the counter, waiting for a chance to meet a man who shared the same ideals. A drink or two later, maybe she could get herself a company for the night. As a grown-up woman, she had her desires. It was a way to release her stress. Katie entered the bar in a casual outfit but it did not diminish her elegant demeanor. When she sat down at the counter, a few young men approached her but she was not interested in immature boys. She continued drinking. She looked at the dance floor occasionally, searching for a
“Who do you think will believe you?” Arthur frowned. There were too many coincidences that it felt like a giant setup. “I’ve explained what I need to. Don’t interrogate me like I’m a criminal. I am the CEO of the Northborn Group.” Katie left them speechless. She had said the necessary and it was up to them whether they wanted to believe it or not. They did not have the evidence to charge her anyway. “You really think we can’t hold you responsible?” Snow was not really looking for a definite answer. The moment she suspected Katie, whether or not she was truly the traitor, Snow already had the right to hold her accountable. It was necessary to make things clear and it was to find out who Katie leaked Kaze’s information to. “It has come down to this. No matter how you deny it, it’s useless. We already know what you have done and you can’t escape. Even if you don’t want to confess, we can continue the investigation, and we’ll eventually find out the truth. “If you come clean
After Katie sent Leah to the hospital, she went back to work. She had a lot on her plate recently and it made her hesitant. Many decisions must be made at once. Many documents required her attention but she was not in the mood to go through them. Her eyes were watching the news on her computer screen. She seemed to know what had happened yet the headlines were not showing, which made her anxious. “Nothing?” Katie felt strange. According to the scale of the incident, it should be making headlines. Hijacking a plane was no small matter, yet not one article about it was published. She felt strange. “Madam Loren, the Viper’s Den wanted to meet you. They said it is for some documents,” Joey said as she came in. “What documents?” Katie felt strange and instantly became suspicious. “The projects previously under Jet Frost and his family required your signatures. The money has already been transferred but they need one last confirmation on the numbers,” Joey said professiona
Snow could not go to Kaze because she had to stay back to handle the rest of the matter. “You know that person.” Peter dared not lie anymore because he wanted to ask for forgiveness. “You’re still trying to negotiate?” Arthur knew what Peter was targeting since he did not finish the sentence. “I regret what I have done but I want to see if the Viper’s Den could forgive me this once. I’ll make up for what I have done. Can you please let me go?” Peter boldly made his request, albeit knowing that it was unlikely to work, he hoped to gain attention. “Don’t even think about it. You’ll be out of the Viper’s Den after this. We won’t hold you responsible and consider it mercy from us.” Arthur did not want to go after Peter but he could not allow the young man to stay in the organization anymore. People who had betrayed the Viper’s Den could no longer be part of it. “I didn’t know it was this serious. Besides, that person is from the Viper’s Den as well.” Peter regretted hi
“I wonder how Chairman Lee is doing. If he’s alone, he’ll definitely get out of the situation but there’s a whole plane of hostages with him. He must be in a difficult position.” Snow knew Kaze’s personality well enough, thus her worries. Kaze would never escape alone and abandon the people. He would either leave with everyone or stay to find a way to solve the matter. Snow then suddenly sighed a breath of relief because she knew Kaze would never spare the hijackers for what they did. She was no longer overly concerned and focused instead on resolving the matter at hand. A while later, Arthur came back hurriedly. “I’ve checked the records. Only a handful of people know that Mr. Lee left and they are all whom we are familiar with and trusted. The traitor must be among them.” He dared not believe that Kaze’s schedule was leaked from his side. “No one at my side knows about Chairman Lee’s schedule except me,” Snow said confidently. She started to feel more certain about t
Snow had already sent men to where the plane was found. If the passengers were taken away, then they must still be nearby. It was difficult to transport an entire plane of passengers to some place far within such a short time. It was a race against time. Snow did not know who would do such a thing. Kaze took a common flight like everyone else, yet it was hijacked. It was strange. The coincidence was uncanny. Snow believed the hijacking happened because of Kaze but she did not know why. “The only explanation is that there’s a traitor among us…” She finally came to an unlikely conclusion after combing through the details. If there were a traitor, it must be within the Viper’s Den. Kaze had laid a low profile for as long as he was in Butterworth. Not many people knew about his identity and those who wanted to make connections with him were because of Snow. It was unlikely that someone would go after him so suddenly unless this person knew his identity and background.
If they were sent to capture Kaze, then they were severely under-numbered. In addition, they allowed Kaze to be alone with the captives, which proved that they were inexperienced. Or maybe they did not know what he had done in the past as the God of War. Kaze believed that the mercenaries were after him but they did not know his true identity. There must have been some miscommunication between them and their employer, which was good news to Kaze. Tiguan and his men were eating. Since they were unable to identify the target, they were forced to bring everyone back. The plane was huge. It would be an easy target for the law enforcement to locate them. Maybe the outside world had caught wind of the hijacking. “Boss, what should we do now? That man seems like he vanished into thin air.” “We got his boarding information but we can’t identify him on the plane.” “Who are we looking for exactly? Why is he so mysterious?” The men were baffled. “We are looking for the righ
“We are almost there. We have to transfer these people as soon as possible. The plane must take off right away. We cannot leave any traces behind.” They must hurry or they would be caught very soon. They held the pilot hostage and forced him to do an abrupt landing. The sudden descent caught everyone off guard, shocking them. A few of the passengers even hit their heads. Many of them did not get the chance to fasten their seat belts. Kaze grabbed Barney and protected his head from hitting the front seat. “Thank you.” Barney looked at Kaze with gratitude and then looked outside. “Where are we? Have we reached?” He was worried that they would be completely trapped. “They are going to transfer us elsewhere.” Kaze had a similar experience before and he knew what the hijackers would do next. “Transfer us? Are they going to transfer us to somewhere secluded and kill us all?” Barney looked horrified as he stared at Kaze. He somehow felt safe beside Kaze. “They sai
