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
Prejudice blinds a man’s eye. Due to the prejudice against Kaze, Agnes did not fully believe that it was he who called in the soldiers. Even though Johnny saluted Kaze before her own eyes, it felt surreal. When she heard Miru questioning Albert, she simply assumed it was Albert who called in the soldiers. “Uhm…” Albert found himself in a difficult position. He turned to Kaze with a bitter look, requesting help. If Miru did not contact him, he would not have known that she was captured. It was not until Kaze gave the deployment order that he found out Miru was captured. However, if he denied it now, he would lose the chance to fix the broken relationship with Miru. Kaze saw Albert being put in a spot, so he stepped in and said, “Yeah, it was Albert who called in the soldiers.” “Then why did you say you were the one who called them? You lied again!?” Agnes lashed out at Kaze again. Up until this point, it had become an instinct of her to blame him for everything.
Agnes’ words made the situation tense. Albert looked at Agnes in disbelief. He could not believe she would dislike Kaze to this extent. He knew better than anyone how popular Kaze was with the ladies. Back on the foreign battlefield, Kaze’s unrivaled might and valiance charmed countless women. Princesses from other countries came and offered all kinds of treasures and services just to bear his children. If Kaze agreed, he would attract tens of thousands of beautiful women with powerful backgrounds, all flocking to him like a swarm of bees to flowers. It was all because he was the God of War! The God of War who could single-handedly rival an entire country. Countless countries offered him money, women, and power to extend an olive branch but Kaze turned them down. Agnes looked down on Kaze and made her daughter divorce him. Albert felt bad for Kaze, but he could not intervene since it was Kaze’s family affair. He did not know that it was his arrival that made Agnes
Agnes was fuming when she saw Kaze hug Darcy. She desperately wanted to separate them, yet Darcy always stood against her will. “Kaze, come back with me. I’m not going to divorce you.” Darcy did not care what her mother thought. Kaze tapped her back and then looked at Agnes. He said, “I think you should go back with them first. Let’s wait for a while and when Mom is fine, I’ll come back.” “Kaze, you don’t need to say all those things to flatter me!” Agnes grunted coldly, showing no appreciation for his kindness. “Please don’t think that I am separating you two because I don’t like you. It’s all your fault! Why did Leo Lionel come after you? It’s because you messed with him! Lefteria Group has many men working for them and you worked there before, you should know better than me how scary they are! “When they sent their men over to our house, if not for Kiev, I can’t even imagine what could’ve happened to us! It’s all because of you! Leo is on to you and he will come after
“Sir!” Albert lifted his chest and looked up, saluting respectfully. The training he received during Kaze’s special training camp became a habit for him. Kaze waved his hand at him. “At ease. We are talking about private matters now.” “Yes, sir!” Albert relaxed himself and said, “Miru is my cousin. She’s actually the daughter of the head of the family. After her mother passed, her father married another woman and she was unhappy with it. She and her father had a fallout and excommunicated herself from the family. She even changed her family name to distinguish herself from the family.” From the moment Miru left the Hiden family, she erased her name from their books and changed her name, hence cutting off all ties with her past and the family she disliked. Miru’s encounter was slightly similar to Kaze's. “I didn’t expect her to have such a humane side.” Kaze started to view Miru differently. He too was excommunicated from the Lee family, but Miru did it on her own.
Shane shuddered in fear. Quaking in his boots, he said, “I won’t get up until you tell me to, Mr. Lee.” He was trying to get in Kaze’s good graces. Kaze scoffed in disdain. “Get up.” Shane rose to his feet shakily. Struck by an idea, he said ingratiatingly, “Mr. Lee, there’s one more thing I need to report to you about Lefteria Group.” “Speak,” Kaze uttered with a blank face. Shane responded, “On the night before Alan was poisoned to death, Dr. Anemo, the South River State’s top doctor, met him in Lilyrose. “Dr. Anemo disappeared when Alan died.“My guess is, Dr. Anemo might be sent by Cronus.” Shane smiled grovelingly at Kaze. He knew that Kaze would make those who set him up pay. Hence, Shane provided an important clue that was useful to Kaze. That way, he might obtain Kaze’s forgiveness and even befriend him. Shane believed he could be of service to Kaze. Nevertheless, Shane soon realized that Kaze simply smiled sarcastically at him. Kaze looked like he
