“What are you talking about, Miru?” Ruby screamed. Miru strode over to Ruby and slapped her in the face. “Mind your words. Who gave you the right to say my name?” Ruby covered her face as her body shuddered in anger and embarrassment. Leo’s expression turned grim. “Miru, Ruby is an executive of the company. How can you just slap her?” Slap! Miru slapped him before he could finish. “Executive? Don’t forget what Lefteria Group started as. Other company’s systems don't apply here. If she’s disrespectful, she’s going to get slapped!” Ruby looked at the palm mark on Leo’s face and suddenly felt that her slap did not hurt that much. “Miru, you crossed the line!” Leo covered his face and shouted back. Miru did not care. She turned around and walked to the exit. “Leo, I got Kaze into the company, so he’s under me. You embarrassed him in front of others means you embarrassed me. Why can’t I slap you for it? If there’s another time, I will slap you again!” Bang! She slamm
“Hehehe.” Angel laughed grimly. “Don’t be so resistant, Mr. Lionel. My king isn’t interested in Lefteria Group. There’s only room for one Godfather of Lilyrose in the underworld.“With your godfather gone, Lefteria Group enters a new era with you at the helm.“When that happens, no one would have the audacity to lay a hand on you.” Leo touched his face. Ruby’s words haunted him, slowly poisoning his mind. As malice flickered in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and asked, “When do we strike?” “Tomorrow. We will aid you whenever possible.” Angel went ahead and told the time, probably knowing Leo would eventually come around. “Aid me? I doubt I have the ability to kill Alan.” Leo scoffed. He did not want to do it himself. Leo was playing with fire by working together with Angel. The murder of his godfather could be linked back to him, and he would be forced to take the blame. Angel said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Mr. Lionel. We won’t sell you out. Otherwise, no one
“Was the other party badly injured?” Agnes turned pale at the mention of five hundred grand to settle out of court. Isaac nodded and urged, “Get the money and bail him out. It took a lot of persuasion to get the price down to half a million. The family initially asked for a million dollars. Otherwise, your son would get a jail sentence for the assault.” Unlike Agnes, Darcy was not easily fooled. Isaac acted like he had their best interest at heart, but his words carried intimidation. Something did not sit right with her. Furrowing her brows, Darcy said, “Captain Oceanid, how did the whole thing happen? Can you give us the recount?“We need to know who started it, and who was at fault before we talk about a settlement.” Isaac pulled a long face and stared coldly at Darcy. He said irritably, “I hope you don’t think I’m lying to you. The victim’s family is demanding compensation, or they will file charges against your son, and they have the means to do so. You can’t afford
“That’s right.” Kaze nodded. Derrick lowered his head. “Let me welcome you to the Southend precinct.” Isaac felt chills down his spine. Color washed off his face. Isaac wondered who the young man was for his boss to personally greet him. Agnes’ eyes widened. It appeared she had never known her son-in-law. “You’re too kind, Captain Maverick.” Kaze added indifferently, “My brother-in-law is in your custody at the moment. He might have done something, but I don’t know the full story yet. Vice Captain Oceanid here believes we aren’t rich and powerful enough to even step into the precinct. He told us to come here, but he wouldn’t allow visitations. He said we need to cough up half a million dollars to make a supposed assault go away. “My question for you is, are civilians without wealth and influence second-class citizens? Apparently, we don’t even have the right to know the truth.” Kaze did not raise his voice. Yet, his words yielded power. Derrick broke out in a
Isaac went weak in the knees, his face pale. He knew that he was done for. The matter was quickly cleared up. Sky and his friends were having a basketball match at the stadium. Celine, who had been all over Sky before, was there too. She stood a short distance away while the boys played ball. A group of youngsters later arrived at the stadium. One of them, Hugo, hit on Celine. Sky and his friends could not stand by and watch as a stranger made unwanted advances to their friend. Hence, they went to reason with the boys. Things got heated up pretty quickly, and both parties started getting into it. Hugo perceived his size as an advantage over Sky, who was lanky, so he went ahead to pull the first punch. Sky was no longer the doormat that he was. Without hesitation, he jumped in and fought back. Hugo took a hit from a guy who was shorter than him. The passersby called the cops, and both parties were arrested. “Where’s Hugo now?” Kaze asked coldly. Kaze wanted t
Sky and friends shook in their boots upon seeing the group of gangsters behind Hugo. “What are you trying to do, Hugo? Your relative, Isaac, has been terminated from his job.“My brother-in-law made the captain dismiss him. If you come after us, my brother-in-law will make you pay.” Although Sky was afraid, he could escape a beating since his brother-in-law was just around the corner. “Oh? If your brother-in-law is so amazing, where is he now?” Hugo then said something to the burly man next to him before swaggering over. The burly man waved his arm. The group in the back fanned out and surrounded Sky’s party in the shape of a scallop.Sky said, “My brother-in-law is nearby. You better take your people and leave now.” “Haha. Weren’t you cocky when you hit me earlier, Sky? Don’t try to bullshit me now.” Hugo stopped laughing and added menacingly, “Either way, I’m going to beat you up. Clyde, tell your men to hold the guy down. I want to whip the shit out of his mouth.”
“Are you part of the mob?” Clyde asked. He believed Kaze could be a high-ranking member of the mob based on his impressive strength. Kaze glanced at him and responded curtly, “Take your men and leave now. Oh, except for him.” He pointed at Hugo. Hugo was the reason Agnes was on her knees and Sky was beaten up. Kaze would make Hugo pay a heavy price before he could let the matter go. “You don’t get to tell me what to do.” Clyde grimaced. Before Clyde was the security chief of Hugo’s family business, he was an influential figure among the mob. Yet, Kaze had the audacity to tell him to leave. Hugo smirked. “So you can fight, but you are outnumbered. Have you taken a look at the people behind me? “You should kneel and apologize to me now, or I’ll make your family suffer.“Clyde, tell your people to keep a close eye on him. Don’t let him run away,” Hugo turned around and told Clyde. Clyde nodded and said curtly, “Even if he flees, he can’t take his family with him.
Darcy and the others were caught off guard by the turn of events. All Kaze did was yell, and a group emerged and pulverized Clyde’s crew. Clyde and Hugo were cocky a minute ago. “I am the security chief of Oceanid Group, bro. Our chairman is Desmond Oceanid. Who are you people?” Staggering to his feet, Clyde asked through clenched teeth. Smack! Lester smashed him to the ground and said in disdain, “The Oceanid Group? I am the deputy manager in charge of Lefteria Group’s security. Our chairman is Alan Cummingham.” “What? Lefteria Group?” Clyde wet his pants. Lefteria Group's influence over the underworld was legendary among mobsters.Clyde knew he had done it this time. Hugo’s teeth clattered in fear. Kaze appeared before him. “What are you trying to do?” Hugo backed away. Smack! Crack! Kaze booted his shin, causing Hugo to stumble on his knees. His kneecaps shattered from the crash onto the ground. “Argh!” Hugo shuddered and cried out in pain. “That’
