Alan’s friends responded strongly to his death. As the kingpin who ruled the underworld twenty years ago, he had countless protégés and many people benefited from his reign. After so many years, his protégés had scattered all over the country. Even those who had not done well in life had already become gang bosses in their respective areas. His influence was so large that even Cronus was afraid. Cronus dared not go after Alan directly because of the consequences, so he had to kill his rival with a borrowed knife. The news of Alan’s death spread across the country and it summoned all his protégés back to Lilyrose for revenge. Everyone in the city knew a storm was coming and there was no place for them to hide or run. All the gang bosses of the underworld stayed quiet and kept a low profile. They even warned their men to not cause any trouble lately or attract unwanted attention. “Cronus is behind Master Cummingham’s death, but he had just passed. It’s inappropriate for u
“Grim Reaper?! What are you doing?” The elders of Lefteria Group were surprised by his arrival. The first thing Jeremiah did when he arrived was to uncover the coffin’s lid. “I have to see how Alan died!” Jeremiah glared at everyone coldly as if everyone present was a suspect. Everyone else paused and went quiet. They knew Jeremiah wanted to inspect the body. Jeremiah ignored their questioning gazes and bent over to put his hand on Alan’s body. A while later, he straightened himself and said coldly, “Put the lid back.” Several men carried the lid and put it back on the coffin. The lid was heavy and it took four strong men to barely carry it, yet Jeremiah was able to lift it single-handedly. He then turned around and put his hands on the hilt of his sword. “Who poisoned Alan?” “Uncle Jeremiah, it’s Kaze Lee, the son-in-law of the Quints. He started work at Lefteria Group yesterday and got promoted to manager by my godfather. He’s actually a killer sent by Angel Whi
Master Quint came to Horizon Mirror Mansion to criticize Darcy together with the extended family. “Darcy, I told you Kaze will drag us down sooner or later. I told you to divorce him and you ignored me. Look what he has done! Lefteria Group is coming after all of us!” “Kaze is a menace to family, so are you, Darcy! Your whole family is nothing but trouble!” “Darcy, you better tell Lefteria Group to not come after us! You and your family should bear all the responsibility!” The extended family berated Darcy the moment they arrived. Master Quint even shouted as he stomped his walking stick. If their gazes could kill, Darcy and her family would have been sliced up multiple times. The Quint family was finished! How could they face the wrath of Lefteria Group? While everyone plunged into despair, Kiev came over with delightful news. “I can stop Lefteria Group from coming after you guys!” His words attracted all the attention in the room. Master Quint was thrilled. “Who i
Darcy knew that if she did not ask Miru to find a job for Kaze, Kaze would never go to Lefteria Group. Before he even went for the interview, Kaze never expressed his intention of working at Lefteria Group. Darcy hesitated. If Kaze was framed, then he would be disappointed in her and the family at the detention center. After all, she had impulsively slapped him earlier. If she agreed to divorce him, she would be stabbing a knife into his already broken heart. When she was taken away for investigation and experienced the darkest time in her life, it was Kaze who turned himself in to be with her. Now that Kaze faced the same thing, her family urged her to stab him in the back? Darcy could not do it! However, Darcy’s question attracted even more hostility from her family. “Darcy, are you out of your freaking mind? Kaze is ungrateful for killing the chairman who promoted him, and you are wondering if he’s framed? You must have lost your mind!” “Even if he’s framed, he go
“We are from Lefteria Group! If you don’t want to die, open the door right now!” the hitman leader shouted. The door opened. Twenty buff and ferocious hitmen strode in. The leader stayed behind because he received an urgent call from Sieg. “Master Braford, what is it?” “Mission canceled. Someone powerful intervened. Don’t lay a finger on the Quints.” Sieg’s aggrieved voice came from the phone. The vice commander of the South River Strategic Department, Vanik Clifford had spoken, so Lefteria Group was forced to cancel their plans. “Oh…” The hitman leader nodded. When he looked at his men, he was stunned. “What is that ‘oh’? Get back here right away!” Sieg shouted into the phone. The hitman leader then said with a trembling voice, “Sir, I don’t think we can make it back anymore...” “Fire!” Before he could finish, multiple gunshots were fired. Bang! Bang! Bang! All twenty hitmen were shot and fell onto their own puddle of blood. “At ease!” A dozen soldiers
Kiev knew it must be Chief Commander Lang who ordered the execution of the hitmen. Only someone as powerful as him could give a kill order. However, since the Quints had given him the credit, he was forced to accept it. The Quints started to flatter Kiev even more. They wished Darcy could marry him immediately, then they would be related to the vice commander of the South River Strategic Department. On the other hand, Lefteria Group was shocked to learn that their hitmen were all killed, especially Sieg. The men he sent were some of his strongest, yet they were all executed! Leo made a call to learn the details. After a brief call, he put his phone down with a bitter look. “Chief Commander Lang’s house is just next to Horizon Mirror Mansion. There are Tiger Fangs Militia stationed there. It’s private ground. We cannot set foot there anymore!” The other elders were frightened and dared not speak of revenge anymore. They might be kingpins and lords of the underworld but
“I need some time alone.” Kaze might or might not have heard Snow as he waved his hand at her expressionlessly. Before Snow left the room, she shot a worried gaze at him. Kaze was not in the right form. He was like an overheating furnace that would explode at any moment. The guard looked at Kaze strangely. He dared not speak a word anymore and simply brought Kaze back to his detention cell. The detention cell had a number of suspects, some were plain criminals. “A new guy is here. What did you get caught for?” The men with ill intentions looked at Kaze as soon as he was locked in. Kaze was troubled by the divorce and did not have the mood to talk to them. “If you people don’t want to die, stay away from me,” he said coldly. He did not even look at them and simply headed to a corner. “Kaze Lee?” Suddenly, two excited voices sounded. Two men stepped out from the group of suspects and criminals and looked at Kaze. They were Hades and Hunter, who were arrested by
Kaze lifted his head and glared at Hades suddenly. An intense killer intent drowned Hades. Hades’ expression shifted as he quickly took a few steps back. He recalled Kaze’s monstrous strength. Back then at the casino, Kaze broke his men’s bones with just a kick. “What are you going to do here? Kill us? Do you know what this place is?” Hunter bellowed at him ferociously. He then added, “I think Hades’ suggestion is great. I’ll take care of your wife as well! What do you say, Hades?” He turned around to Hades with a mischievous grin. Hades cackled. “Of course, but first come first served…” Bang! A loud bang stopped Hades’ words abruptly. Hunter was sent flying to the wall and crashed on it like a pie. He slid off the wall like a pile of lifeless meat. The other suspects and criminals went over to help Hunter. Hunter was bleeding profusely and his eyes went blank. His face rapidly turned pale. One of the criminals put his finger under Hunter’s nose and was shocke
