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
“You smashed our vase, so pay up!”“You’re not going anywhere until you pay us for our loss.” The plump woman and Ron were all over Sasha, demanding that she compensate them for their loss. No one among the crowd stepped forward to intervene as the damage was worth three million dollars. Most people could not afford that sort of money. Sasha wailed, “But sir, ma’am, you hastily bumped into me. Why should I pay? I don’t even have that much.” Ron narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Hey! Have you no shame? Don’t try to turn this on us.” “Bitch! You are a disgrace to your family!” Raising her hand, the plump woman took a step forward to slap Sasha. “Smack!” A powerful grip pulled the plump woman back from hurting Sasha again. The plump woman glared at a stern-looking young man. “Who are you, bastard? Get out of my way!” The young man was Kaze. He shook the plump woman’s arm off and said curtly, “If you can’t be civil, you should ask your parents to teach you some manners
“Who else could it be?” The plump woman rolled her eyes. “Why would we frame her?” Kaze nodded. “Alright. There are surveillance cameras in the mall anyway. We can check the surveillance footage to confirm whether she ran into you, or the other way around.” The plump woman and her husband scoffed, not taking Kaze seriously at all. Not wanting to dwell on the matter, Kaze asked, “Are you sure your vase dates back to 500 B.C.?”Displeased with Kaze’s doubt, the plump woman said angrily, “What do you think? We have agreed on a price with the owner of the mall. He was going to pay us three million dollars for it. Why would we lie?” “Oh, really?” Kaze grinned and approached the piles of broken shards on the floor to pick up a piece. “This is part of the shattered vase, right?” Kaze held the piece up for a look and asked nonchalantly. “Are you blind? Of course, you can tell whether it came from the vase.”The plump woman said in annoyance, “What are you up to? I’m warning y
The crowd nodded in agreement. “That’s right. The couple must be scammers, picking on the girl because she doesn’t know her stuff.” “Security! Where’s security?” “Why isn’t someone from the mall taking care of this?” The crowd believed the couple were scammers. “Please give way.” Soon, several security officers arrived on the scene, and the leader glanced at the plump woman. Getting the message from the woman, the security leader approached Kaze and said menacingly, “Boy, are you up to something? Ron and his wife are long-time customers here. I have never seen you around before, though.“You’re something else to assault a customer here. Do you know who owns the place?” The security leader pointed at the door. “Get out, or I’ll make you!” Kaze asked, “Are you in on it too?” The security leader narrowed his eyes. “What did you say? I dare you to say it again.” “I said that you’re in on it too.” Kaze pointed at the middle-aged couple while eyeing the security lead
“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

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
“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
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
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
