“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’
“Lefteria Group is well known in the city. The chairman attended your wedding.“Make sure you work hard. You got the promotion because you have the competence to handle the job. Don’t let the company down. Got it?” Agnes started lecturing Kaze after paying him compliments. Nevertheless, she was grinning from ear to ear. Before, she would give him an attitude and Kaze had always been looked down on. He was not one she could be proud of. Now, Kaze was the security manager of Lefteria Group. Agnes could hold her head up high when talking about Kaze to her friends. Pleased with Kaze, Agnes said, “Can you take the afternoon off tomorrow, Kaze?” “I work in an office, Agnes. I don’t have to be stationed at my post all the time.” Kaze smiled. He was glad to finally get Agnes’ approval. “What’s happening tomorrow afternoon, Mom?” Darcy asked out of curiosity. Agnes replied with a grin, “Your aunt’s family is coming to Lilyrose tomorrow. We can have lunch together. Kaze
Miru gave Kaze a telling-off. She quickly lost interest when he did not talk back. Pleased, she walked away. “Is Kaze somehow involved with Ms. Scarlet? Why didn’t he say anything?” Lester and the others engaged in a conversation outside the office. To their understanding, Kaze had a hot temper. Kaze got physical with them on his first day of work and made Leo kneel previously. There was no reason for Kaze to put up with Miru’s behavior unless there was more to their relationship. “What are you mumbling there about? Don’t you have a job to do?” Kaze stepped out of the office and glared at them. The group scattered. “That’s just absurd. How could I be involved with Miru? No one can stand that woman.” Kaze shook his head in resignation as a woman in office attire made a beeline toward him. “Are you Kaze Lee? I’m with the administration. Today is the day the security department conducts a building safety inspection. I just wanted to let you know that,” the woman sa
“Tell Draco to get his team to secure Clover Center by whatever means possible. The clock is ticking,” Kaze yelled angrily. “Commander Koga is on it,” Snow replied. Knowing how much Darcy meant to Kaze, Draco contacted Koga right after his call with Snow. “Tell him to send a chopper. I need a pick-up.” Kaze ended the call and rushed to a sports car by the road. He opened the door and sat in the front passenger seat. “Hey! What are you doing?” The woman in sunglasses screamed and looked at Kaze in horror. Kaze, eyes bloodshot and face menacing, looked like he was a fugitive on the run. He showed her his mobile navigation. “I need to save someone important to me. Follow my GPS.“Now!” He shouted furiously as the woman had not gotten over the shock. With a shudder, the woman started the engine. Choff! Choff! Choff! Halfway down the road, the whirlwind of chopper blades ripped through the air. “Stop the car!” Kaze got out of the car and grabbed onto the lowere
