The two cars stopped in front of the logistics park. Hector, Agnes, Agatha and her family, plus Kiev, alighted the cars. Only Sky did not follow because he was still mad at his sister for divorcing Kaze. The two families were surprised to see Kaze at the entrance as well. They did not expect to see him here, let alone be earlier than them. “Kaze? What are you doing here? Did you break out of prison?!” Agnes said coldly with an obvious sense of disgust. She had no respect for him. “Mother, my name is cleared. I did not murder Alan Cumminghamn. I heard Darcy was apprehended by the owner here, so I came to bring her out…” Kaze explained. “Don’t call me your mother! I am no longer your mother-in-law!” Agnes shouted at him and warned him with a ferocious glare. “Kaze, how dare you come here for Darcy? She’s in this trouble because of you. If not because of you, why would she come all the way to Melrose?” “You are a menace!” Kaze chose silence as a reply to Agnes’ scold
“Kiev, since the Strategic Department has already sent men over to negotiate, I believe Shane Blanc has agreed to release Darcy, right?” Agnes ignored Kaze completely as she was only concerned about her daughter’s well-being. Kiev said confidently, “Of course. The Strategic Department has intervened, and Shane would surely release Darcy now. “Let’s just go get her. I believe she’s afraid and she definitely wants to see you the most.” Agnes smiled. “Then let’s go inside and bring her back. Kiev, thank you so much for this. Tell the guard to open the gate for us,” she said with utmost gratitude. “Of course.” Kiev went over to the guard. The guard judged a book by its cover. He saw Kiev coming out of a Maybach and he knew that the young man must have a decent background, so he was more polite than before. A moment later, Kiev came back. “Aunt Agnes, we can go inside to bring Darcy out. He’s going to let us in.” “Great!” Agnes nodded happily. Everyone then went in
Shane was indeed the most well-connected informant in South River State. He knew Kiev’s name by just looking at him. Kiev was slightly surprised. He nodded and said, “I am. Darcy Quint is my friend, so you should release…” Before he could finish, Shane interrupted him again. “I will let you off the hook this time, for the sake of your father. Now take your little friends and piss off.” Shane pointed at Agnes and the others. Kiev was infuriated. “Shane Blanc, how dare…” “FUCK OFF! Hear me!?” Shane’s men went up and surrounded Kiev. One of them put his massive hand on Kiev’s shoulder. The pressure he felt on his shoulder hurt him, making him sweat profusely. A while later, under Shane’s men's angry glare, Kiev, Agnes, and the others were escorted back to the park entrance. Similar to the two majors from Melrose Strategic Department, they were thrown out of the gates. Kaze noticed Kiev could not even lift his hand and he knew Shane must have taught the young man a le
“Aunt Agnes, I’ll think of another way. There must be a solution to this…” Kiev’s words no longer felt as powerful as before. Shane did not even take the vice-commander of South River Strategic Department seriously, let alone his son. Must Kiev find someone more powerful than his father to solve this problem? Agnes was drowning in her despair but she still consoled Kiev. “Kiev, don’t blame yourself. You’ve tried your best. You’ve helped us plenty. We are grateful for your help. It’s all because of Kaze! If not for him, Darcy wouldn’t be held inside. “Kaze, if anything happens to Darcy, I will haunt you for life even after I die!” Agnes was agitated and riled up. She wished she could strangle Kaze with her own hands. Kaze said, “Nothing will happen to Darcy. I said I will bring her out and I will bring her out.” “You? Not even Kiev can settle this. What makes you think you can?” Agatha and her family looked down on Kaze. “You are nothing but blindly confident.” E
Everyone held their breath. They felt like their worlds collapsed on them. How could Kaze call in a battalion of soldiers? How? They suspected that it might be a dream or an illusion. They rubbed their eyes and pinched their cheeks, but the pain told them that what was happening before their very eyes was real. It was all real! “So it was not him who was incapable, it was us…” Rose wished she could bury herself in a hole. She was the clown, not Kaze. “Oh. My. God. W-Who is Kaze exactly?!” Agatha almost passed out from the shock. She could not even maintain the same pitch. Knowing that she insulted Kaze earlier, her face turned red. “I have no idea…” Agnes’ mind went blank. Kiev looked at Kaze in fear. How could he go after Darcy if Kaze was this powerful? What gave him the confidence to snatch Darcy away from him? He was courting death, not Darcy! Kaze did not care about the reactions. He said to the guard at the entrance, “Tell Shane Blanc to come out r
Kaze nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. “I heard you got a hundred million from Darcy. Explain that,” he asked. Shane gulped nervously and said, “Ms. Quint wanted me to find out the traitor of Lefteria Group.” “And did you?” “I did. It’s a guy named Leo Lionel.” Kaze looked at him. “Based on what I know, Leo came to you and then went back to Lilyrose. Yet the ladies are held captive. How do you do business?” Shane got so frightened that he wanted to kneel, but Kaze stopped him with a fierce glare. He shuddered and managed to keep himself standing. “Sir! I was tricked! Leo gave me one billion and I fell for it! But I never thought of hurting Ms. Quint and Ms. Scarlet! It was him! It was Leo! He wants me…” Shane exposed Leo and his schemes without a second thought. Kaze’s eyes gleamed coldly after he learned the truth. Leo went back to Lilyrose alone because he wanted to use Shane to get rid of the ladies. He wanted to kill them with a borrowed knife! He orde
Not only Darcy and Miru, even Agnes and the others glued their eyes to Kaze. “Yeah, I called them in,” Kaze admitted in front of everyone. “Uh…” Even though the armored trucks and tanks were shocking enough, they were still astonished when Kaze admitted it in front of them. How did Kaze do something even Kiev could not? Kaze suddenly became a mystery that no one knew. His real identity intrigued everyone. Could he be the secret child of some powerful officers? He had someone even more powerful than Kiev’s father?” “Sir, the chief commander of South River Strategic Department attended the practice of Armored One Battalion and he heard that you were near. He wants to meet you.” Reeve, who had been quiet since the beginning, went up to Kaze and whispered in his ears. The chief commander that he was referring to was Albert Hiden. A few days ago, Kaze had agreed to attend his inauguration ceremony that was around the corner. It was just a matter of time before they m
Amidst the discussion, Albert’s jeep stopped in front of everyone. A valiant young man in uniform with stars on his shoulders came out of the vehicle. The guard wanted to help him put on the general’s coat but Albert stopped him. He had no right to flaunt his ranks before Kaze. Albert spotted Kaze right away. His eyes were overflowing with excitement as he strode over. From the bottom of his heart, he respected the man who had completely changed his life. He stood in front of Kaze and wanted to lift his shaking hand for a salutation. “Albert Hiden! Why the hell are you here?!” Miru, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly spoke in a rude and frosty tone. The condescension in her tone was obvious. She shocked everyone when she spoke. Not only did she call Albert’s full name, but she even disrespected him, the chief commander of South River Strategic Department! If the man was angered by her rudeness, the consequences would be severe. To everyone’s surprise, Al
