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
Meanwhile at Horizon Mirror, Darcy was stunned when she received her grandfather’s call. However, she did not have the ten million to offer, nor did she know to accept or reject the offer. After the phone call, she talked to Kaze about this. The next morning, the two of them arrived at the meeting room in Quintessential Group Headquarters. Master Quint and the other executives of the company, plus Rudy’s family, were there. "Let us begin. I hereby announce that Darcy will be appointed COO of Quintessential Group, with full authority to run the company's operations.” For the sake of ten million, Master Quint directly made Darcy the COO, which proved that he was ready to go all out with this bet. Fortunately, many including Rudy and family breathed a sigh of relief when he did not make Darcy the CEO.If the strict and honest Darcy became the CEO, the vermins in the company would be exterminated. It seemed Master Quint was cautious against Darcy and not handing her the ke
Since when did this start? It started the day Kaze came back to the Quint family. Master Quint resented him. Darcy knew her grandfather was not satisfied with her. She felt helpless but chose to remain silent. Then, Samus came over and said fiercely, “Darcy, don’t you dare think you can make all the decisions in the company just because you have a position now. Don’t forget that the company’s executives are all my father’s men, who he had handpicked and promoted himself.” “Yeah. Besides, the person in charge of Passion Fragrance District project, Randal Song, is a man with a short temper. Be careful or else he’ll ruin your pretty face,” Deborah said with a grin. Passion Fragrance District used to be a project by Quintessential Group but it ended up in Darcy’s hands because it had been losing money. Kaze said coldly, “I don’t mind ruining your pretty face first, Deborah.” Deborah covered her face immediately. “I’m just offering a piece of advice! You ungrateful bastard!”
Darcy looked disheartened when she heard Ren badmouthing Kaze. Ren then pointed at the roses behind him and said, “Look at the 99,999 roses, I prepared them for you! If you look closely, you can even see your name.” Darcy got a closer look and actually saw her name in the color gradient on the petals. The workers must have arranged it without her knowing but she was not impressed at all. Ren’s method would work if he was trying to make some little girls happy. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Joestar, but I can’t accept them. Please leave.” Darcy shook her head and looked even more disheartened. “Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!” “Be together! Be together! Be together!” The crowd started cheering. They saw Darcy blushing and shaking her head, so they thought she was too shy to accept the confession, so they began the chant.Ren used the opportunity and said, “Ms. Quint, look. They want you to say yes. Why don’t you say yes first, otherwise it might look shameful on me.” I
Darcy bought the Audi A4 with her own money she earned from starting a company. It was her family’s only car during the financial crisis. It was her family’s blood and sweat yet Ren made it sound like trash, which was an insult to her effort. She walked to the Audi A4 without saying a word. Ren was confused. “Ms. Quint! What is better in that Audi A4 than my car?” Kaze was annoyed by the buzzing bug. He let go of Darcy’s hand and walked up to Ren. “Do you know why Darcy doesn't like your car? It’s because it’s not safe enough!” Ren was stunned before he laughed loudly as if he heard the funniest joke. “Do you even know anything about cars? You are saying that my car worth two million is not as safe as your thirty thousand dollar car…” Kabaam! A loud thump stopped Ren’s sneers. Kaze punched the Maserati Quattroporte’s hood and black smoke erupted from the engine. The back of the car bounced up before it fell back down. Ren’s expression was frozen, and so was the
Aloysius came to have lunch and he picked up a piece of information during his meal. He wondered if it was real. When he first heard it, he thought it was ridiculous, but on second thought, it somehow made sense. Katie usually looked like a caring but overprotective mother but who would know for sure that she would not do something so outrageous? Once a person was driven by benefits and gains, sentiments and emotions ought to be sacrificed. “She’s ruthless but only a woman with her personality is fit to be the CEO of the Northborn Group,” Jet said with an approving nod. When a person discarded all sentiments and emotions, he or she would be invincible. “Are we attending the party?” “Of course we are. I still have to find the mastermind.” Jet refused to just step back. Someone ought to pay for halting his business ventures. “I understand. I’ll prepare a gift.” Aloysius nodded and turned around to leave the room. Jet remained in his seat, sipping on his glass of win
Jet did not look worried. His companions were confused. Anyone else in Jet’s position would panic. Each day the business ventures were on hold, and he faced continuous losses.However, Jet remained composed. It proved that Jet was competent to face problems. Despite the obstacles, Jet was able to overcome it in no time. “I see. Do tell if you need any help. We are happy to lend a hand.” “Yeah. I’m sure the problems will go away soon enough.” The group uttered, not taking the incident to heart. Seeing that the group was gullible, Jet was relieved. After dinner, Jet sent his drunk guests away. Jet grimaced. “None of them know anything. Those who do won’t see me.” Jet was curious as to who he had upset to deserve the attack. There was still wiggle room in regard to his business ventures, and Jet could still afford the wait. Nevertheless, it was frustrating to be targeted. “Is there anything you need, sir?” Aloysius asked. “Keep an eye on these people. Check
“We are happy to have dinner with you, but it’s only been a few days since we last saw you.” Though confused, the group took their seats. Jet invited them out to see if they knew anything about the mastermind behind the halted projects. However, the group behaved no differently from before. “Friends should always stay connected. I’m looking to take on a few business ventures. I was wondering if any of you are interested.” Jet was not in the mood to start new business dealings. He was simply trying to extract information from the group. Jet’s business ventures were stalled, and if the group had an inkling, they would not do business with him.If they were in the dark, they would jump at the opportunity to close the deal. They could not possibly say no, especially since they had been begging for Jet to throw a lifeline. “What kind of business are we talking about?” “Yeah. Can we be a part of it?” “I’ve been wanting to do business with you, Jet. It’s a pity we never
Aloysius entered the room. He was in a sorry state with a bandage on his head. “Mr. Lyfe can’t make it today, sir.” “Didn’t he say he was coming?” Jet asked without a second thought. “Mr. Lyfe’s son is apparently pursuing Leah.“Katie is planning to throw her daughter a birthday party here.” It was old news. The Frosts had always received an invitation to the celebration. “Katie sure put a lot of thought into the party. She must be trying to reach out to more powerful people.” Jet saw through Katie’s little plan. “What do we do now, sir? These people are saying they can’t make it now.” Aloysius had long understood that he would lose friends when he lost power. However, things had not progressed to that state yet. Yet, Jet’s previous business partners ignored him. “The Frosts are still in power. Where are they getting their intel from?” Jet could not put up with the humiliation. “What do we do now, sir?” Aloysius did not expect these people to be so disrespect
Tens of thousands in assets were lost as every second passed. Jet, as powerful as he was, could not let that happen. “Look into any prominent figures who have come to Butterworth lately.” Driven by fury, Jet had no qualms about attacking his people. Jet would compensate him with money anyway. Aloysius was used to the treatment. He kept his mouth shut and cleared up the mess before taking off. Jet’s nerves were on edge. After all, he had never encountered such a situation before. It was a mystery as to who would resent him so much as to take action. After much thought, Jet gave his previous business partners a call. He either could not get through to them or was transferred to their assistants. As it turned out, he could not reach anyone. Jet realized that he may have upset the wrong person. Otherwise, this would not happen in the first place. “That’s strange. I’ve been staying in Butterworth. I doubt I have upset anyone.” Jet just could not figure it out.
“Just lay all the bad news on me.” Jet started getting some ideas, seeing that the situation was rather unique. “The other important business dealings are halted indefinitely. I can’t get hold of the higher-ups.” Something did not add up, but Aloysius could not figure it out. This was the reason why he had to see Jet right away. “Have you investigated? Who is behind this?” It was clear to Jet that someone was out to get him, and the person targeted his business ventures. “We have run some checks. It’s a peculiar situation. It looks like someone is pushing this forward, but we can’t figure out who this person is.” Aloysius had been with the company for a long time. He knew a lot of people. Yet, he had never run into a case like this before. Despite the investigation, Aloysius could not find anything. “What’s the situation like?” Jet asked, holding back his rage. It was strange, indeed. However, there had to be some sort of trace. Who would attack the Frosts, th
Kaze watched as the senior citizens took off. The place was quiet as usual, and many things in the unit were left uncollected. “Mr. Lee, does this arrangement work?” Arthur awaited Kaze’s orders. “It will do for now.” After being out for the day, Kaze had seen some stuff. Business was all about making money, but some lines should not be crossed. As long as things remained within reason, there would not be scrutiny or blame. It was astounding the lengths Jet would go to. “The area will be demolished after a while. I want all of the Frosts’ projects on hold. Don’t approve any of them.” One word from Kaze could shake the very foundation of the Frosts’ business. “Alright. My team is on it. “But the Frosts will ask questions and find out who is behind this.” Arthur looked at Kaze worriedly. “They can’t find anything.” No one would know who Kaze was without his permission. It probably never crossed Jet’s mind that Snow had a powerful friend. Otherwise, he woul
Kaze was confused. Surely, the authorities would not disregard human lives and demolish the place by force. “Well, we tried to relocate them, but they refused our services. If they are still not on board, they will be sent to the retirement home tonight.” That was all Pax knew. The retirement home was just another place for the senior citizens to await death. “Is there nothing else you can do? So you signed the contract without thinking about the consequences? Karma will get back at you.” Pax’s shamelessness shocked Arthur. Pax mentioned that he would put the demolition on hold. It had not been long, and now the rights to the land were handed over. “It’s out of my hands. Jet went to my superiors to seal the deal. We are not allowed to intervene. “We had been figuring out ways to reach reconciliation for these senior citizens, but Jet was determined to make them pay.” It was the best Pax could do. He was just an employee, working to make a living. He did not have a say
“I want to see the person in charge of the demolition project now.” It was not a matter of time before the area was bulldozed, but Kaze hoped to delay it. Generally, it would take a large amount of capital to launch a project. Any delay would cause massive losses. Jet had several projects that had been put on hold, and it was a heavy blow to him. If Jet could not fix things quickly enough, all his money tied to the projects would be gone. He would be forced to ditch some projects to cut his losses. “I’ll get him here right now.” Arthur went out to make phone calls. He believed Kaze did the right thing as the senior citizens had nowhere to turn to. The senior citizens could only survive with some help. “Thank you, young man. Why are you helping us?” The senior citizens were old, but they could tell that Kaze genuinely wanted them to be okay. “I don’t think it’s right to bully you.” Kaze looked at the senior citizens earnestly, feeling sorry for them. Jet lack
