“How dare you break Rhys’ legs! You’re dead!” “I heard you are a live-in husband with a beautiful wife. Too bad. Your wife is going to be a widow after today.” “Maybe we can help her with that, let her have some fun while you are gone.” “Hahaha…” Rhys’ followers went up to Kaze and Collier, surrounding and mocking them. They were furious, seemingly ready to avenge Rhys, but no one took action other than spewing empty threats. Kaze raised his brows, looking scornful. They were trying to provoke him to attack them, but the fools got the wrong person. Kaze was not someone who could be easily angered. Collier noticed the people were closing in on them and might jump on them at any time. He bellowed, “Rhys Road, stop this nonsense at once. Chief Robin Hill is inside River Watcher Inn and he’s meeting with Kaze!” When Robin’s name was mentioned, the people around them froze and helpless twitches could be seen on their faces. Their anger subsided a little. Even Rhys calm
The second group of people had accents from all over the place, seemingly tourists who came to Riverbank for vacation. When they arrived, Rhys raised his voice and cried louder. “Kaze Lee is trying to kill me! It hurts! He thinks he’s beyond the law, he thinks he’s stronger than Chief Hill! What did I do to you…” Rhys lived up to his reputation as the owner of an agency for actors and actresses. While he cried, he painted himself with blood, adding to his already messy appearance. “Rhys Road, you are shameless!” As more and more people gathered, Collier got anxious. He stepped forward and bellowed, “You’re accusing Kaze! You think Chief Hill doesn’t know that?” “Mhmm. Interesting.” Kaze looked at Rhys covered in blood, his nose still bleeding. The gaze from his eyes turned icy cold as he stared at the idiot. “Who is this punk? Why is he causing a scene here?” “Doesn’t he know Chief Hill is here at River Watcher Inn? How dare he! He’s even trying to kill someone?!”
The middle-aged woman was beautiful and shared a resemblance with Rhys. Her expression darkened, her eyes filled with anxiety. She was Naomi Road, Boris’ wife who was ten-plus years younger than him and Rhys’ mother. Kaze scanned the surroundings but did not see Boris anywhere. Naomi strode into the crowd and saw Rhys on the ground, covered in his own blood, and Kaze, who stood nonchalantly as if he was not part of the situation. Her face further darkened. “Rhys, what happened? Why is your head bleeding again? What happened to your nose?!” She turned to the crowd and shouted, “Who hit my son? Who did it!?” “Mother, help me…” Rhys cried even louder in his mother’s presence, saying, “It’s him! It’s Kaze Lee! He found out that we asked Chief Hill for help and he knew he’d be punished soon, so he got anxious and slapped me! “I fell and hit my head on the pavement. He then stomped on my face too! He disrespected our family and Chief Hill altogether! “He even said no on
“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

“Kaze, Siberian is on his way to you. After what you’ve done to Anzu, he’s coming after your life.” South’s voice came through the phone once Kaze answered the call. “Kaze, please know that this is your personal conflict with Siberian and has nothing to do with me, or the Steelclaw Guild.” Kaze chuckled. “Siberian wants to avenge Anzu? He’s a cold-blooded killer. Since when does he have a conscience? Are you sure it’s not because of something else?” “It’s really personal this time. I just found out that Anzu is actually Siberian’s sister, like a true sister. Anzu was sent to Ryokan and learned under their grandmaster, so she would eventually be a Ryokanian. “Siberian has always hoped for his sister to help his family regain its former glory. Yet her first mission in Arcadia was to kill you, and you caught her, almost killing her. “God knows how much Siberian hate you now. Though I am sure Siberian will only come after you and not your men or the people around you. He’s that e
Albert got the news as well. He was eager to face Robin and even volunteered himself. However, Kaze rejected him. There was no need to send Albert to deal with a trivial matter. It would only make it seem like Kaze was afraid of Robin. As for Collier, he was simply there to lead the way and drive Kaze around. Kaze did not expect him to be any useful. “Kaze, it seems like Boris Road is really coming after you. He probably twisted the facts in front of the Godfather and accused you of something else. That’s why, instead of Rory, Robin Hill was sent here with more men. “The chief of the Execution Hall has always kept a low profile and stayed hidden. I don’t know much about him. It’s a surprise that he could defeat Hannah. “As the chief of the Execution Hall, Robin Hill is certainly a figure with authority and power in the West State Viper’s Den. “I’ve got news that Boris Road and his wife, Naomi, are heading to River Watcher Inn with their best men from Great Road Group.

Agnes was frightened by Phoenix’s fierce methods. She strongly believed the only way for her family to be safe was to follow Phoenix's orders and flatter Joan, and not oppose them anymore. Darcy frowned. “Are you sure about that?” She knew the truth regarding Kaze and Perfect World Group but not so much about the mayor’s decision. Therefore, she slightly leaned toward her mother’s suggestion. It was unlikely that the mayor would suspend a project that could potentially be worth billions just because Kaze requested so. Kaze confidently said, “Just trust me. I believe you still can get insider news from Sky Ocean Corporation, so you can keep up with what’s going on. Just listen to me and avoid that old hag.” He then took his phone out, which had been buzzed for a while. A glance later, he said, “I still have something else to take care of. I’m going out. “Don’t you run away now!” Agnes shouted. “You bastard! You put us in this mess and you’re leaving? So what if all that
Agnes did not care if Darcy was tired, she just wanted to get this done there and then. Kaze frowned. If he stayed, this nonsense would continue endlessly. He turned around and tapped Sky on the shoulder, saying, “Take Darcy upstairs to rest. I’m not coming back tonight.” Suddenly, Hector came over with the phone in his hand and a panicked expression. “Darcy, your grandaunt is on the phone. She wants you to go to Sky Ocean Corporation now.” “She wants me there?” Darcy and Agnes were both surprised. Darcy frowned but her mother shuddered with fear on her face. “Let me talk to her.” Kaze took the phone off Hector’s hand. The call was still connected, so he said, “Tell that old hag that my wife is not free now. If she wants to see Darcy, tell her to get over here herself.” Phoenix’s voice came from the phone and she did not sound happy. “You little bastard, you…” Kaze hung up the phone without giving her the chance to speak. Agnes was stunned for a few seconds before
“Bullshit! You fulfilled your duties to our family? You’ve been putting us in harm’s way!” Agnes stepped closer with an intimidating gaze and pointed at Kaze’s chest. “Come on, stab me or strangle me, or else you are going to divorce Darcy no matter what!” Kaze scoffed, “You want me to stab you so I can go to jail? Keep dreaming.” Agnes clenched her teeth. She continued threatening him, “Then I’ll go hang myself at the door! I want the whole world to know that my son-in-law made me do it! I don’t believe that after you forced me to kill myself, Darcy would still want to be with you!” Kaze then took some money out of his wallet. “Go get a good rope.” “You shitty…” Agnes was consumed by her anger. “Darcy, are you going to just watch as this bastard takes advantage of me?! I’m your mother, I’ve raised you, I gave birth to you… Are you going to abandon me because of some outsider?!” She started crying in front of them. “Mom, can you stop making a scene?” Darcy was havin
“Let me go. I don’t want to talk to you now,” Darcy said, her tone remaining cold. Kaze decided to be shameless and said, “I am not letting you go. I am going to hug you until the end of time…” “You bastard! How dare you kick me! I’ll beat the shit out of you!” Before Kaze could finish, a sharp and irritating shout echoed across the backyard. Agnes, whom Kaze had kicked to the couch earlier, came with a broom in her hands and her disheveled hair as she strode over to Kaze. Kaze helplessly released Darcy and pulled her away. Darcy looked at the mad woman who was her mother. She then spotted the footprint on her abdomen and glared at Kaze. “You kicked my mother?!” Kaze shrugged and said, “She lost her mind. She slapped Hector and beat up Emiko, forcing her to scrub the floor on her knees. I thought I’d wake her up from the unhealthy fantasy.” “But you kicked her?! She’s my mother! What if you hurt her?” Darcy bellowed. When a woman dislikes you, even breathing could be
