“Fuck off!” Kaze did not have time for Kelly. He slammed her against the wall and strode into the elevator. Bang! Henry easily kicked open the frosted glass door. Darcy was knocked to the wall and got hurt. She winced in pain. “If you don’t want to shower, then come out with me!” Henry grabbed her hand and pulled her out. “Let go of me! This is not right! It’s illegal!” No matter how hard Darcy struggled, she could not overpower a tall man like Henry and was hauled out of the bathroom. “Illegal? I make the rules around here!” Henry tossed her onto the bed. He pulled out a strip of blue tablets and took one. His debaucherous past had taken a toll on his body and he suffered from erectile dysfunction. Finally, he got his hands on his dream prey, so he was prepared for this. Off went his shirt and he stared at Darcy lustfully. She was in a disheveled state—afraid, helpless, and in despair. Her pitiful look, however, aroused Henry even more. “I heard you haven
“N-No, you will not be arrested!” Don bowed immediately and sweated profusely. Kaze then looked at Kelly. “You, come over here.” Kelly was shaking when she noticed Kaze was not afraid of the police chief. She finally knew she was in huge trouble. “Kaze, I am sorry! It was Henry’s fault! He told me to sow discord between you and Darcy, and bring Darcy here.” Snow said coldly, “He demands you to go over there.” Kelly walked fearfully. Kaze slapped her and she landed on the bed. He then picked up the pills from Henry and shoved half of them into Kelly’s mouth while the rest of them were forced down Henry’s throat.“Uh…” Don and his officers were stunned. They knew what Kaze was trying to do. With that many pills in their system, Henry and Kelly would suffer tremendously even if it did not kill them. “It’s almost time. Call the woman’s husband here. After that, send Henry back to the Hilfinger family.” Kaze then carried Darcy out of the room and closed the door.
Darcy apologized because she misunderstood Kaze, but she was still jealous. Why did Kaze not bring her to choose the furniture but another woman? “Kaze, the woman who came to our house last night, who was she?” “She’s Snow Frost, assistant to the Chairman of Perfect World Group, Mr. Ray Forrester. He assigned her to bring me to browse the furniture,” he explained. He was happy that Darcy was jealous because it meant that she cared about him. Darcy and her parents were relieved knowing that it was Snow as they had met Snow before and she was indeed Mr. Forrester’s assistant. Darcy held Kaze’s hand and said, “I’m sorry, Kaze. It’s my fault, I should have trusted you.” She felt bad and afraid at the same time. It was because of her distrust of Kaze that Kelly took advantage of her and she almost got raped by Henry. Kaze looked at her and said seriously, “It’s over now. You should really have more faith in me. We are husband and wife. Anyone can hurt you but not me.” He d
Meanwhile, at Horizon Mirror, Agnes was still worried and she told Darcy about King Kong and his men threatening them to move out earlier in the day. “Darcy, those men said they would come back in the afternoon. I think we should move out.” Even a housewife like Agnes had heard of the notorious Gold Tooth. “Mom, if they come back, we’ll just call the police. I believe they aren’t above the law.” The Horizon Mirror was their home, why should they move? “Sigh. If only calling the police works.” Agnes remained nervous. “It’s not going to be easy dealing with those crooks. Haven’t you read the news about the terrible things they did? “They won’t lay a finger on you, they won’t kill you or burn your house but they will consistently harass you, making your life a living nightmare. Even if the police come, they won’t be arrested.” Darcy started to feel nervous as well.She looked at Kaze and said, “Kaze, other than violence, is there another way to get rid of the gangsters? Thi
Tiger Fangs Militia was a famous military group in Lilyrose City. The Commander of the Tiger Fangs was Shin Scarlet, a man who had the same level of influence and authority as the mayor. One phone call and Kaze could summon the Tiger Fangs to his aid? King Kong said, “Master Gold Tooth, this punk is just bluffing. The punk from earlier is a little better at fighting but now this punk is alone. Nobody’s around him now and I don’t think he can summon the Tiger Fangs to his aid.” Gold Tooth’s pounding heart calmed down. He teased, “Punk, trying to bluff me? Fine, I’ll see who will come to save you. I’ll give you ten minutes. Once the time is up, you either move out, or I make you after I break your legs.” “No need for ten minutes. They are already here,” Kaze said. Gold Tooth confirmed that Kaze was simply bluffing. He cackled, “What? You think they flew here?” As soon as his words subsided, the loud noise of a propeller resounded in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw sev
Kaze returned the salute and said, “Bring those men back.” Shin shot a gesture at his men. Gold Tooth and his men were apprehended and brought back from the lake to Kaze. Thump! Gold Tooth knelt in front of Kaze. His men were terrified by the astonishing scene and when they saw their boss on his knees, they lowered their heads too. Their bodies were shaking ceaselessly. Shin glared at the bunch of gangsters with disgust. He grunted and said, “Audacious bunch of bastards, I see. How dare you cause trouble at Chief Commander Lang’s place? With that many restricted weapons, what are you people trying to do? Assassinate Chief Commander Lang?” Before Shin arrived at the scene, Draco informed him to never reveal Kaze’s identity, or else the city would be in peril. Shin took Draco's advice to heart and made no mention of the God of War. The bunch of gangsters were already trembling in fear. Gold Tooth looked up with a horrified look and said, “Commander Scarlet, we know Chie
“Master Lee, it was only but a joke! A joke!” Gold Tooth was flustered and nervous. Kaze did not want to waste time on him. He said, “If you want to destroy someone’s house, then you should be prepared for your own house to be destroyed. Surrender all your assets, and count them properly before handing them to the Tiger Fangs.” Shin was surprised by the suggestion. He said, “S-Sir, this isn’t appropriate…” “There’s nothing wrong with this, it’s dirty money anyway. Just confiscate them. If someone holds you responsible, tell them to come to me,” Kaze said indubitably as he waved at Shin. Shin dared not defy the order. He knew the God of War returned from a foreign, lawless land whereas, no one is above the law in this city.Gold Tooth was horrified. He had been accumulating his wealth for twenty years and he was going to lose them all just because of a word from Kaze. However, he dared not defy Kaze either. Being able to survive the guns of the Tiger Fangs was already mer
Rudy carefully asked, “You must be King Kong. What did my son do wrong that you had to beat him up?” King Kong glared at everyone in the house and grunted coldly. “It seems like you people are trying to get me killed! You want me to take back Kaze Lee’s house while Skylar View District has been listed as a restricted area because of Chief Commander Lang. “When we went there, Kaze called the Tiger Fangs Militia on us and we almost died there!” “What? Is Skylar View District a restricted area? We had no idea!” Master Quint and the others were shocked. “So you’re saying that I’m lying? Look at this, I broke my arm at Horizon Mirror!” King Kong then shouted, “I want twenty million as compensation!” One broken arm for twenty million? He might as well rob the bank! “King Kong, we have already paid you five million and you promised to get the house! Now you’ve failed to take the house so you should give us back the money! How dare you ask us for compensation?” Master Qui
Katie proudly made the statement, convinced that she had done a lot for her daughter. It was only right for Leah to be grateful and understand her sacrifice. To Katie’s surprise, Leah chuckled. “What else have you done for me? You never showed me any attention. You don’t know what I like. You have no idea what I want.” Leah finally saw her mother as the person she was. This side of Katie was terrifying. “What more do you want? Am I not supposed to work? Should I be spending every waking minute of the day with you?” Katie understood Leah’s needs. However, there was no way she could make it happen. It was not easy for a woman to take hold in the Northborn Group, much less secure a high position there. Katie went through great pains to get where she was today. Alas, Leah could not understand where she was coming from. “I’m not asking you to be with me every day. I’ve tried my best to do everything you asked of me, but you can’t even be there for me during my birthdays.
“Everything I do, I do for you. Get this straight. The guy approached you because of what I could bring to the table.” Katie was pissed by her daughter’s defiance which was becoming worse with age. “I know the kind of person he is. Without Kaze’s help, I wouldn’t have escaped. Where were you then? You’re in no position to say that. “Even if there’s something he’s after, what would he want from me? I have nothing to offer.” Leah did not believe a word Katie said. Clearly, Katie was out to get Kaze. “He’s nothing but a poor kid. Why are you blowing this out of proportion? I’ve clearly stated what needed to be done. Why are you still being stubborn?”Katie believed she had not raised her daughter right. Leah turned out pretty naïve. “I told you. He has no ulterior motive. He doesn’t know who I am. He doesn’t have any other intentions. I approached him, not the other way around.” Leah kicked herself for pulling a reckless stunt. All she did was give Kaze more problems. Kat
Leah hated her mother being unreasonable. “Don’t get the wrong idea. I fed you, I gave you clothes, I put a roof over your head, I gave you life! The least you could do is to listen to me!” Katie did not expect her daughter to go so far as to defy her. Kaze remained silent, knowing that no matter what he said, it would be meaningless to someone unwilling to listen. “Kaze, I’m sorry. It was my fault that you are in this mess. I’m a jinx…” Leah blamed herself for getting Kaze in trouble with her mother. If not because of her, he would never encounter her mother. “Shut it! Why are you apologizing!? He approached you with purpose and you can’t even see that? He’s not worthy of your time!” Katie was livid. She felt her daughter was blinded by emotions, incapable of making the right decision. And to make matters worse, the girl even apologized to Kaze—what nonsense! A poor man without any background was no match for her daughter and her status. He approached the girl becaus
Katie suddenly chuckled. “What’s the matter? You are after my daughter and you tried to give me advice? What are you trying to do?” She looked down on a man with no future. She stubbornly believed he approached her daughter because of her. If he said as such, he must have known something else. It was no secret that Katie was preparing the birthday banquet for Leah and one could easily find out about it with a little research. Katie took his words not as a suggestion but as a challenge to her power. “Whatever. You stubbornly believe that anyone who approaches you or your daughter is after your power, does that mean there’s no emotions or love throughout your life?” Kaze suddenly looked at Katie with a pitiful gaze. She had been consumed by the thirst for power and it wiped her humanity. Katie would eventually be a sacrifice of someone else before she knew it. “Don’t look at me with those eyes. Who do you think you are? I see through you right away! I’ve seen a lot of
Frustrated, Leah tried to shake her mother’s hand off, but Katie tightened the grip and did not let it happen. The more the girl resisted, the more Katie felt challenged. She felt that her authority was being shaken by her daughter’s defiance. “Stop it! I told you before that if you don’t listen to me, I will make you regret it! And, don’t let me catch you with this bastard anymore, or he won’t have a future here in Butterworth!” Katie shouted at the girl to silence her. Leah could resist her mother and defy her, but not at the expense of her friend’s well-being. She knew her mother always meant what she said, and once those words were spoken, she would certainly take action against Kaze. Therefore, she quickly fell silent and let her mother take control of the situation. Katie glared at Kaze resentfully. “Stay away from my daughter or I will make you pay!” she bellowed. She then dragged Leah to her car and told the girl to get in. Right after she closed the door, s
Without further ado, Katie stormed out of the car and dashed over to them. “Leah!” she shouted, startling her daughter. When Leah saw her mother, she knew doomsday was upon her. She was frightened and stunned on the spot. Kaze was surprised by the coincidence as well. He was not afraid of the woman but she was charging at them like a ferocious monster. “I told you not to be with this guy! Why didn’t you listen to me?!” Katie could not tolerate her daughter’s defiance. She saw it as a direct challenge to her authority and bottom line. She stepped up and dragged her daughter away. “I told you not to see this poor bastard. Why didn’t you listen to me?” She was consumed by rage and paid no attention to her choice of words. All she cared about was the fear that her daughter had nearly fallen into a stranger’s hands. Leah disliked her mother being unreasonable. She had no idea what changed her mother into an unreasonable wretched hag. “Mom, what are you talking about?” “W
“Katie’s daughter dined at my restaurant and she met the man Katie intended to match her with, yet Katie knew nothing and even threw a tantrum at the door. Why do you think that happened?” Master Fuller shook his head helplessly and poured himself a glass of beer. The last guest of the day had left and he could enjoy his rest peacefully. However, the last guest of the day was a rather interesting pair. “Isn’t it a little contradicting? She’s trying to get Mr. Lee to marry her daughter but she’s asking for trouble at the same time.” The woman was surprised but also found it interesting. “Do I have to deliver the meals to Mr. Lee?” “Let my disciple do it. Don’t you get involved in this, it’s better to stay away from trouble.” Master Fuller wanted to get back at Katie, yet he did not need to do anything because the woman was actively bringing trouble upon herself. The woman did not say anything and simply gazed into the distance. The wooden door at the entrance was ope
“It’s getting late. Let’s get you back.” Kaze knew that Leah had snuck out of the hotel, so it would not be good to let her stay out too late. Katie was a tough mother to deal with. If she found out her daughter snuck out without her permission and spent dinner with him, she would lose her mind. Kaze was not afraid but Leah would have to suffer her mother’s wrath. “It’s getting late. We have to go back.” Leah liked the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant. She felt free of restraints while on the premises, but time flew by quickly, leaving her with little time to savor the experience. She wished she could enjoy more moments of peace and quiet while indulging in good food. “Do visit if you have time. We usually open at night only,” Master Fuller said when he noticed the heavy look on the girl’s face. “Great. I’m definitely coming again!” Leah then got up and headed out. Kaze then pulled his wallet out and wanted to pay for the meal. “Mr. Lee, what are you doing here?
Passersby would spare an extra glance at the expensive car but dared not pause to inspect further. The woman in the car looked anxious as she relentlessly tapped her fingers on the steering wheel. Katie was still waiting, hoping to find out who Master Fuller’s guests were. Her patience was thinning by the second. Since she picked up her daughter, everything had gradually slipped out of her control, and she hated the feeling. Back at the restaurant, Master Fuller and his guests were still chatting over delicious dessert. Kaze had a bite and was amazed by the taste. As expected of a national-level chef, his culinary skills could turn the simplest ingredients into the most amazing delicacy. “I thought this was just a normal sweet potato but there’s something else added inside.” After an enjoyable dinner, Leah finally had the chance to taste the final dish—the dessert, which appeared to be an ordinary sweet potato. When she peeled the skin and took a bite, she realized
