The angry outburst did not come from Kaze. It was Darcy. She jolted to her feet and looked angrily at Kiev. “Kaze is right. Our divorce is none of your business.” Kiev’s jaw dropped in surprise. It never occurred to him that Darcy would yell at him for Kaze’s sake. She was rude for the first time too. Paying Kiev no attention, Darcy turned to Kaze in tears and smiled. She said, “In fact, I don’t need a waiting period. “I don’t need a month to reconsider my decision. I will never divorce Kaze.” Agnes panicked. “Are you trying to get us all killed, Darcy? Do you know who he messed with? How can you be so reckless?” “Just call me reckless, Mom. But I just want to follow my heart.” Darcy looked her mother in the eye and said determinedly, “Kaze is innocent. He knows it, I know it, and you all know it.“But why are we punishing him and pleading with the bad guy for mercy?” Faced with her daughter’s questioning, Agnes hung her head low and murmured, “But Leo will come
“That’s one competition out without breaking a sweat. This calls for a celebration.” Leo handed a wine glass to his subordinate. “Thank you, Leo.” The chauffeur took the glass and sipped before saying with a chuckle, “No need to find it a shame, Leo. Although Miru is dead, her best friend, Darcy, is quite the knockout too. “The woman hasn’t been with a man before even though she married the idiot.” Lust flickered across Leo’s eyes. Although Leo had never met Darcy, he had seen her photo. Darcy was hot, a different type of stunner to Miru. Seeing that Leo was interested, the chauffeur, eager to please him, said with a smile, “If you want to get the girl, now is the chance.“The woman will be yours if you threaten her with her idiot husband’s life.” “No need for that.” Leo waved his arm to refuse. With a grimacing look, he added, “Kaze is an accessory to my godfather’s murder. What will the key members of Lefteria Gang think of me if I let him off the hook just to sl
Minutes passed. “The nerve of you, Angel. Aren’t you worried I might just kill you?” Leo stared coldly at Angel, who sat across from him. It never occurred to him that Angel would infiltrate the Lefteria Tower before calling him. Angel seemed sure that Leo would agree to a meetup. He said with a smile, “If you want to avenge Alan and win over your people in Lefteria Gang, you should kill my king.“I am only the king’s lapdog, so what’s the point of killing me?” Leo said nothing. Angel had a point. If Cronus was standing before him, Leo would kill him without hesitation. By killing Cronus, Leo could gain control over Lefteria Gang with ease. Even Jeremiah might put aside his ego and aid him. Alas, Cronus was not there. Killing Angel would achieve nothing. Leo said curtly, “Don’t think I am an idiot, and fool me to kill Jeremiah. With him gone, your king would be the one benefiting from it all.” “You would have to kill either my king or Jeremiah, Leo. Otherwise
Master Quint led the family to Skylar View District. Darcy’s family was having lunch with Agatha’s family. Agatha knew trouble had come knocking on their door because Master Quint and the rest of the family were on a warpath. “What happened, Dad?” Hector asked. “What happened? Your son-in-law did it again.” Master Quint glared at his son and said sternly, “Lefteria Group demands that we hand Kaze over and send him to River Watcher Inn to his death.” The entire family lost their appetite for lunch. Darcy jumped in. “Don’t bother with them, Grandpa. So long as Kaze remains in Skylar View District, Lefteria Group won’t send anyone here to capture him.” Master Quint was aware that twenty assassins were executed at the gate of Skylar View District. “What’s the use of hiding? Kaze can take cover, but what about the rest of us?” Master Quint shouted angrily, “Lefteria Group said the Quints will have to take Kaze’s place if he doesn’t show up.” “It’s all your husband’s
Agnes could not do anything about the shameless behavior of Master Quint and the others. She was not in the mood to waste time with the group, so she headed straight upstairs. “I wasn’t joking, Kaze. I’m going with you to River Watcher Inn. We can face everything together,” on the second-floor balcony, Darcy grabbed Kaze’s arm and said to him earnestly. Darcy’s eyes were filled with tears. With his heart going out to her, Kaze reached out and wiped away her tears. He was lucky to have a wife like her. “Alright, we’ll go together. I want to show you what Leo has coming for him.” Others believed Kaze would not leave River Watcher Inn alive. However, only Kaze knew that he would turn out fine. Since Darcy wanted to go, he could take her along. She would be glad to see that karma would finally get to Leo. “Okay.” Darcy nodded. She sighed to herself. Kaze was too optimistic. They should expect the worst for tomorrow. “If you love Darcy, you shouldn’t put her at ris
“Kaze?” Miru was shocked. Jeremiah was unsuccessful in killing Kaze at Lilyrose Detention Center. Lefteria Gang was puzzled. As it turned out, Kaze had proven his innocence at the time. Miru was curious as to what Kaze did to gain Jeremiah’s trust. Jeremiah did not respond. “Why did you bring me here?” Miru asked a different question. “Kaze told me to do so.” Jeremiah kept his answers short as always. Miru did not think she would be even more surprised. Alan alone commanded Jeremiah’s respect within Lefteria Group while everyone else was beneath his notice. Why would Kaze hold any sway over him?Miru knew the type of man Jeremiah was. He would not answer meaningless questions. Hence, she saved the questions. Instead, she said, “Jeremiah, I got proof of Leo killing Godfather during my trip to Melrose—” “Kaze has told me.” Jeremiah raised her hand to interrupt her. “Go and get some rest. We will be attending Alan’s funeral service at River Watcher Inn tomorr
Kaze had sorted out the Hansers before. Instead of being grateful to Kaze, Deborah hated his guts. Their feud went way back. Deborah was glad that Kaze was moments away from his death. She said gloatingly, “Once you’re gone, Darcy won’t take long to forget you and remarry someone else, Kaze. “Remember Kiev? He was here yesterday. “He is better-looking, wealthier, and comes from a better family than you. Darcy will have a beautiful marriage with him while you have no shoulders to cry on. I mean, you won’t have shoulders as a ghost anyway.” “Hahahaha!” The Quints burst out laughing. Kaze had no time for the group. Nevertheless, he narrowed his eyes dangerously at Deborah’s harsh words. He took strides over. “What are you trying to do, Kaze?” Samus’ eyes bulged. Kaze said with a smile, “Since I’m about to die, why don’t you and Deborah grant my wish?” “What’s the wish?” The siblings were dumbfounded. Smack! Smack! Kaze raised his hand without hesitation
There was a long line outside River Watcher Inn. They were there to offer their last respects to Alan. Many of them were criminal bosses from various places. Kaze stood in line and followed the crowd into River Watcher Inn. Alan’s funeral service was held in the lobby of the first floor. Many offered their condolences as a mournful song played in the background. Dressed in a black suit, Leo tended to those who came to mourn Alan’s death. He played the part of the grieving godson right because people believed him. His behavior since Alan’s death had won the loyalty of many members of Lefteria Gang. “Kaze is here, Leo.” A subordinate drew close and whispered to Leo. Leo was speaking to a guest when he looked up. He spotted Kaze in the line, and his gaze turned icy. After excusing himself from the guest, Leo walked over. “The nerve of you to show your face here when you were an accessory to my godfather’s murder, Kaze.” Leo raised his voice. His voice stood out
