“Master, that guy is being completely disrespectful of you…” The monks and the others knelt before Juan, crying and complaining about what Kaze had done to them. Seeing his disciples kneel in front of the public, speaking in an embarrassing way, Juan’s expression turned ashen. He wished he could slap them off the face of the earth to save himself from the humiliation. However, his reaction looked like anger to the others instead of embarrassment. His reaction made the atmosphere even more stiff and tense. No one dared to interrupt or make a noise, afraid of suffering the master’s wrath. Cyan carefully looked at Draig, hoping that he could step up and mitigate the problem. Otherwise, once Juan flew into a rage, punishing Kaze alone might not solve the problem. After all, the monks made it clear that Cyan and the others were with Kaze, so there was no way they could escape anymore. Draig looked at Kaze who remained calm and confident and Snow who was expressionless. He
Juan was displeased by Draig’s pretentious manner. All his disciples clenched their fists and teeth, infuriated by Draig’s arrogant words, hoping that they could teach him a lesson. Draig might be physically powerful but they, too, were trained martial artists and they had the advantage of numbers. They were not afraid of him. One word from their master and they would all jump on Draig to rip him apart. Looking at how “responsible” Draig was, stepping up to deal with the matter, Cyan somehow felt bad for him. She looked at Kaze once more, who wore a nonchalant look as if he was not part of the situation. Her eyes at him filled with anger and contempt. She stepped up and humbly said, “Master Juan, I saw what happened. I think I should speak up for Draig. “It’s not Draig, it’s Kaze. The security guards and your disciples, it was all Kaze! Draig claimed that he did it because he was trying to protect me and Snow, but I believe Master Juan is a fair and just person. You shoul
“Ugh!” The searing pain on Draig’s back felt like a bolt of lightning coursing through his body. It felt as if bones had shattered. He fell onto the ground with a heavy thud. Huh? The crowd was astonished. No one expected Juan to hit Draig. To their surprise, as the son of the grandmaster of Uleania, Draig could not even last one hit from Juan. He collapsed to the ground and could not get up. A single thought appeared in everyone’s mind while looking at him—weak! He was ridiculously weak, to the point that he could not even take one hit! “W-What? How did this happen?” Cyan looked at Draig on the ground with widened eyes filled with disbelief. She felt like her beliefs were crumbling. A moment ago, Draig bragged that he could take responsibility for everything, yet he was struck down by Juan with just one hit. He did not even stand a chance! Reality made his words sound like a joke. “Master Juan, what is the meaning of this?” Draig recovered his composure and
“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

“Master Juan is here!” Right after Cyan’s words subsided, Juan and his group of followers finally arrived. Juan wore a white religious attire. Albeit a straight face, he looked like a deity from heaven. Kaze remained calm and steady on the spot, saying nothing. He wanted to see how Juan would handle the situation and provide a satisfying explanation. Likewise, Draig remained silent. It was not that he was also waiting for an explanation from Juan—he was merely waiting for Juan to speak to him first so that he could maintain his appearance. Not only the two of them, but the others remained silent as well. In fact, most of them lowered their voices, some dared not even take heavy breaths, as they waited for Juan to handle the matter. Juan must have been aware of what happened earlier. Kaze was practically insulting Emerald Bull Palace. Even with Juan at the scene, the security guards, almost thirty of them, were still on their knees. The bigger the commotion, the more
Draig looked at Kaze scornfully, like he was an idiot out of place. “Kaze Lee, you are really a fool. You’ve gotten so used to bragging your way out of things. Master Juan had stepped in to deal with the Ryokanians and you assumed he was here to help you, trying to be your support? “The other funny thing is, you think that allows you to cause a scene here in Emerald Bull Palace? Where’s your brain? What makes you think you have the right?” He continued to mock Kaze, airing his grievances while at it. He even raised his voice because Albert was not around. “Is that so?” Kaze looked at Draig, who had returned to his boastful and arrogant self. He slightly shook his head and scoffed. Draig pursed his lips and said, “Am I wrong, Kaze? For Snow’s sake, I’ll give you one last piece of advice. “You should know your place and limits. Had I not held back the Ryokanians and Master Juan stepped in to deal with them, what would have happened to Snow? Have you thought about that? “A
They had no idea how Juan got the news so quickly and was able to gather a group of followers to the scene. Usually, such trivial matters would not even reach Juan at all as he was a busy and elusive man. Even within the Emerald Bull Palace, he rarely appeared in front of his followers or the worshippers. As the master of his art, he maintained a veil of mystery around him. However, it was not a question that they could answer. They only knew that Juan had come to do them justice. Kaze wiped his hands without even looking and said, “Don’t worry. I am not running away, I don’t need to. The Emerald Bull Palace and Juan will have to give me an explanation about this.” Since Juan had begged to be his disciple a while ago, Kaze had agreed to take him in, even if just nominally. Therefore, as a disciple, Juan must act like one in front of his master. Juan might be respectful and act humbly in front of Kaze but he should not allow his own disciples to bully others. Kaze did no
Looking at the astonishing scene, Cyan’s lips twitched, her eyes burned with flames of anger. She shouted, “Kaze, did you not hear what I just said? Are you deaf? You’ve already knocked out the security guards and now you are doing this to them? Do you know that they are Master Juan’s disciples? One of them is also Master Juan’s nephew! “How dare you! You are going to pay for it! If Master Juan finds out about this, this is going to get nasty!” Cyan was so upset that she wanted to slap Kaze in the face. The other worshippers already noticed the commotion and started to gather around them. When they saw Kaze teach the arrogant security guards a lesson, they felt a surge of satisfaction and relief. Emerald Bull Palace was huge and had a lot of parking spots, yet it was the biggest place of worship in Riverbank and a famous one among the worshippers. Therefore, the security guards took advantage of their positions by issuing unnecessary fines, harassing female visitors, and
Without looking at Cyan, Snow kept her face straight and her mouth shut. At first, Snow thought of telling Kaze to ignore these people. There was no need to make a big deal out of things. However, the security guards took things far, and Snow did not want to waste her breath anymore. Sometimes, it was best to fight fire with fire. The security officers and three monks needed to be taught a lesson. Cyan was furious that Snow paid her no heed. She uttered exasperatedly, “Can you handle the fallout, Kaze?” “Why can’t I?” without looking back, Kaze replied indifferently. He stepped on the young monk’s face, and the latter shrieked in agony. Everybody was dumbfounded. Kaze’s cruelty and audacity knew no bounds. Dozens of security officers on the floor stayed down. Since Kaze did not care that one of the monks was Juan’s nephew, he would have no qualms about killing the rest of them too. “Get up and keep your back straight on your knees, or I’ll break your arm.” K
During her last visit to Emerald Bull Palace, Cyan witnessed Jude and Alfonso chatting happily with Juan. Jude, Alfonso, and Juan were of a social standing beyond Cyan. Cyan’s family made their livelihood through the Viper’s Den South River State Branch. Alfonso was the former deputy chief and the longest-serving veteran. It was only right to suck up to a powerful figure like Juan. To think Kaze would start trouble on a foreign turf, disturb the peace at Emerald Bull Palace, and hurt the employees. Kaze was playing with fire.Cyan shouted frantically, “Kaze, stop! Stop right now!” Losing the fear, the three young monks looked smug and looked at Kaze in defiance. The monk in the middle sneered. “The lady is right. Juan is my uncle.“I dare you to hit us.“You won’t be walking out of here alive.“If you know any better, you should apologize to us on your knees and pay us eight to ten million dollars in medical fees. I might be happy to let you off the hook. “Otherwise
