Chapter 5 Shocked

Author: Five Generals
Lee?

Pietro looked at Kaze, baffled. “There is a man named Kaze Lee, and I’m trying to teach him a lesson.”

A loud thud could be heard from the other end of the line.

Pietro asked, “Boss, are you alright?”

Then, a thunderous roar from the man was blasted into Pietro’s ear through the phone.

“Alright? I’m not f*cking alright! Are you trying to f*ck with me now?! I’m warning you, whatever that man tells you to do, you f*cking do it, understand? He is a God from now on!”

Pietro was stunned. He had never seen Giovani this scared for as long as he worked for him.

He instinctively asked, “Boss, are you mistaken? He’s just some trash who married into the Quint family.”

“Pietro, are you trying to get yourself killed? You and I are like flies to him. One swat and we are all dead, crushed! You understand me?!”

“Boss, I…” Pietro got nervous.

“Last warning. That man is someone that not even I can mess with, you better take care of your own a*s!”

The call ended abruptly.

Pietro was stunned. When he regained his composure, he realized he was drenched in his own sweat and his legs were shaking.

Deborah noticed Pietro’s lack of response. She went up to him and asked, “Pietro, are you okay? Teach the two of them a lesson!”

“Teach? I’ll teach your a*s!”

Pietro shouted and swung a slap at Deborah’s face.

Slap!

The sudden turn of events shocked everyone.

The strong slap sent Deborah faltering, and her delicate cheek swelled immediately.

She covered her cheek in disbelief. Her eyes teared up as she cried, “Pietro, I’m here to buy a car, why did you hit me? Hit them!”

“I’m hitting you because you are a bitch! If not for Vincent Hanser, I would have slapped you to death. Get the hell out of my face!”

Deborah was speechless but she dared not argue with the man. She glared at Darcy and Kaze before she stormed out of the office.

When she walked past Kaze, she warned him, “You f*cking retard, just you wait!”

She blamed Kaze for her getting slapped.

Darcy instinctively tugged Kaze’s sleeve, asking softly, “Kaze, let’s go…”

Before Kaze could say a word, Pietro strode over to him.

Darcy was more scared than ever.

To her surprise, Pietro gave a ninety-degree bow and said with a trembling voice, “Mr. Lee, Ms. Quint, I am so sorry for my manners. Please do not mind what I said…”

What happened?

Darcy was shocked.

Pietro was like a different person after he answered the call.

“So are you going to pay us back?”

Kaze was not surprised by Pietro’s sudden change in attitude. Draco must have settled the matter.

Pietro nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes! Yes, of course. I’ll make it happen right away!”

A while later, Darcy and Kaze left Loco Town with a bank check in hand.

Darcy still could not comprehend what just happened. She looked at Kaze from time to time, wondering if he did something to the man.

At the same time in a mansion somewhere in the city, the infamous Giovani Beneli was on his knees before a tall man in a formal suit.

Draco said coldly, “Giovani, nicely done. It seems like you’re not stupid at all. If something happens to my boss, you will be locked up behind bars forever.”

“Thank you for the mercy, Chief Commander.”

Giovani breathed a sigh of relief after escaping the sentence. He bowed and begged, “I have no idea that the God of War himself is in Lilyrose and he got into a conflict with my men. I wonder if I can set up a feast for the God of War to make up for my men’s mistake.”

“I’ll deliver the message.”

“Thank you, Chief Commander!”

Lily Court was an old district in Lilyrose City and where Darcy and his parents’ shabby house was located.

The sky was dark upon Darcy and Kaze’s return.

When they arrived at the entrance, Agnes and Hector darted out immediately.

“Darcy, are you alright? Did that gangster hurt you?”

“Mom, I’m fine. Thanks to Kaze, we actually recovered the debt.”

Darcy then looked at Kaze.

“What? What did he do? You really believed this retard can perform miracles?”

Agnes glanced at Kaze contemptuously and explained, “It was us who asked Henry to help us, or else you would never be able to get the money back.”

It was Henry?

Darcy was slightly surprised upon hearing her mother.

Kaze subtly narrowed his eyes. It was not the first time he heard the name Henry.

“Darcy, you have to thank Henry for his help. I gave it a try and called him, and he agreed to help as soon as he learned what happened. He even wanted to bring us out for dinner. You can’t reject him anymore.”

Darcy wanted to reject the offer. “Mom, can I pass? Kaze just recovered, shouldn’t we celebrate it?”

Agnes rolled her eyes. “What is there to celebrate about this retard’s recovery? Henry helped us overcome this crisis, you have to come with us to thank him!”

Hector nodded in agreement. He adhered, “Your mother is right. You have to come with us tonight.”

Darcy looked at Kaze with a troubled expression. She said, “If we are going to dinner, what about Kaze?”

“Stop thinking about him!”

Agnes grabbed Darcy’s hand and pushed her up the stairs. “Go change into something nice and remember to dress up properly.”

Darcy kept turning around but her mother continued to push her upstairs.

Kaze frowned.

“Kaze, what’s with that look on your face? Get the hell out of our house. You are not welcomed here,” Hector bellowed with displeasure.

It was then a Land Rover stopped in front of the house.

A slender and beautiful woman came out of the car.

She was Miru Scarlet, Darcy’s longtime friend.

“Hector, Agnes, where’s Darcy? Henry told me to pick you guys up.”

Suddenly, Miru noticed Kaze and it shocked her. “Kaze? What are you doing out of the hospital?”

Agnes grabbed her hand and explained what happened.

Struck with realization, Miru looked at Kaze with disgust.

Three years ago, Kaze disappeared on his wedding night and made Darcy the laughingstock of the city.

He came back as a retard and gave the Quint family nothing but trouble.

Miru had no respect for her friend’s retarded husband.

“Kaze, now that you’ve recovered, why are you still here? If you are a man, stay away from her, and don’t stop her from chasing her own happiness.

“Henry is the next in line to inherit his family’s business. His father, Roger Hilfinger, is the Chairman of the Construction and Material Society. He has total control over the construction business in the city. Henry can provide Darcy with a good life.

“Look at you, other than insults and suffering, what can you give Darcy?”

Agnes and Hector nodded in agreement.

Kaze calmly said, “Miru, what I can give Darcy is not something a peasant like you could ever imagine.”

    “Hmph!” Miru scoffed. “I would like to see how you do that. By the way, do you know where Henry is bringing us to dinner tonight? It’s the third floor of Cloud Nine! A piece of trash like you could never get into such a luxurious restaurant even if you work your entire life!” Agnes’ eyes glimmered with excitement. “The third floor of Cloud Nine?! Only Golden members can make a booking at that place!” Cloud Nine was one of the most famous restaurants in Lilyrose and only by spending above ten million on a single receipt, one would be eligible to apply for the Golden membership. Master Quint was the only one in the entire family to have a Golden member card. As for floors above the third, the required spending would be much higher. Miru glanced at Kaze and scoffed, “Kaze, this is the difference between you and Henry. I have no idea what gives you the confidence to continue staying at Darcy’s side.” “Miru, stop talking to this piece of trash. Darcy is here. Let’s go. We wouldn

    “Pietro’s boss? Isn’t that Giovani Beneli?” Miru scoffed and said, “Kaze, do you even know who Giovani Beneli is? That is a big shot with a vast network and influence, even my godfather has to respect him. You are here saying that Giovani Beneli is hosting a feast for you as a token of apology? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” “Miru, if you don’t believe me, you can go up there and see for yourself,” Kaze said calmly but Miru rolled her eyes at him. Henry regained his composure and said with a smile, “I think he saw Giovani’s car at the entrance, that’s why he said so. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, or else all of us would suffer if it reaches the man’s ears.” Everyone was afraid. “I’ve had enough of your nonsense!” Agnes slammed the table and shouted, “You keep being a retard and it embarrasses us. Get out of my face or I’ll slap you to death!” “Kaze, why don’t you go first? I’ll come home after dinner.” Darcy was embarrassed as well. She got up and dra

    Miru was excited to catch a glimpse of someone that prominent as well. “Darcy, let’s go have a look at the elevator later,” Miru said as she tugged on Darcy's sleeve. “I’ll pass. I have to go back with Kaze later…” Darcy was a little tipsy after a few glasses of wine. Miru sighed disappointedly and said, “You are still thinking about that retard? This is a golden opportunity! If we leave a strong impression on those people, your family won’t have to worry about money anymore!” “Then… alright.” A while later, Geoffrey received a call. Everyone got nervous. Was the important person coming down already? Geoffrey put his phone down helplessly. “My father just called and told me the dinner is over. The important person has left.” “How unfortunate. I thought we could get a glimpse of the person…” Everyone sighed. “Darcy, are you done?” Kaze came into the room. “Kaze, what are you doing here? Go away!” Miru was still reeling in the disappointment of not seeing the

    Miru scoffed. Henry narrowed his eyes and nodded. He ridiculed, “Sure, Kaze. You can show me how it’s done.” He did not want to waste his time on a retard. With his wealth, if he wanted, Darcy could live like a queen. For all that he cared, he might as well give the chance to Kaze and let him screw things up. With the useless retard as a comparison, Henry had a good chance to stand out.Agnes ignored Kaze completely and asked, “Henry, can you invite Pietro to Darcy’s birthday party? We can thank him for paying us back.” Henry’s smile froze. When he called Pietro earlier, Pietro scolded him and hung up impatiently before he could say anything. He did not expect Pietro to really pay up. He was uncertain if he was able to invite Pietro to Darcy’s party. However, when he saw Kaze looking at him, his heart tightened. He bit the bullet and said, “Agnes, don’t worry. I’ll call Pietro and invite him.” He pulled his phone out and dialed the number. His heart was pounding wildly

    What? Did Darcy recover the debt? How? Deborah just told everyone that Pietro was furious because of Kaze and Darcy. Deborah and the others were stunned, including Master Quint who then dug his ears and asked, “You… You really got the money back?” Darcy nodded and gave the man the check and the account book. “Grandfather, this is the check, please have a look.” Master Quint stared at the check for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded, “It’s a check from Pietro Beneli.” The rest of the family members felt relieved. It seemed Pietro was not mad at all because Darcy got the money back, which meant the Quint family would be safe and fine. “Hmph! Do you really think it’s you who recovered the debt? Stop dreaming!” Deborah stepped up and shouted, “If not for me, Pietro would never give you two the money! He slapped me! He must have given the money back to compensate me!” The other family members nodded in agreement upon hearing Deborah’s explanation. S

    “You keep pretending. How did a retard like you get the money to buy Goddess’ Heart?” Deborah taunted Kaze before showing Darcy her new necklace. “I can’t wait to put this on during my birthday party. I will then wear it to the signing event with Sky High when I get the investment. This is sweet!” Samus flattered, “Deb, you will soon be the brightest woman in Lilyrose! As for someone else, they are not even in the same league!” Everyone was jealous. They thought highly of Vincent for buying an expensive piece of jewelry like the Goddess’ Heart for his girlfriend. How generous! Kaze’s patience ran out. He stepped forward with clenched fists but Darcy held him back. “Kaze, calm down!” “Look at that! Look at the retard! Is he trying to hit me?” Deborah pretended to be scared. “If you hit her, I’ll tell Grandfather to throw you out tomorrow!” “Hmph! A retard trying to beat Deborah?” The other family members stepped up to defend Deborah. Samus raised his phone and thre

    Sammy reluctantly accepted the black card. “Mr. Lee, is this our bank’s card? I have never seen it in black.” Deborah and Vincent were done with their business. They overheard Sammy and came back to have a glance at the black card. “Hahaha! Kaze, you useless trash! You are using a fake card?! What a joke!” Deborah laughed out loud. Vincent scoffed and said to Kate, “I can’t look at them anymore. Please throw them out.” “Ah, yes. I’ll…” Kate nodded repeatedly before she glanced at the black card. It stopped her from finishing her sentence and a strange look appeared on her face. She went up and snatched the black card from Kaze’s hand. “Sammy, stay here. I’ll go inform the president.” Kate checked the black card repeatedly before she ran upstairs to the manager's office. Deborah came over and said, “Darcy, do you know using a fake card at a bank is illegal? You two are really trying to get yourself caught.” Darcy was frightened; even her hands and feet turned cold.

    Agnes glared at Kaze as she breathed heavily. She ran into the kitchen and came back out with a knife. “Keep talking nonsense! If not for you, we wouldn’t be expelled! I will kill you!” As soon as her words subsided, Agnes swung the knife at Kaze. “Mom, what are you doing!?” Darcy cried in shock, her face turned pale. Hector was frightened as well. He did not expect his wife to do something so dangerous. The knife was swung at him, but Kaze was not afraid at all. With a swift move of his body to the side, the knife missed him and hit the floor at the door. “What the hell?!” A frightened cry came from outside the door. Everyone turned to the entrance and saw Henry, frightened. “Henry? What are you doing here?” Agnes recollected her composure and went up to the man. Henry slowly recovered from his fright. He forced a smile on his face and said, “Agnes, I heard you guys were expelled from the family, so I thought I’d visit with some gifts.” The mood turned serious

    With the secret out in the open, the housekeeper dropped his attitude. He pointed at the basement not too far away. “My employer is in there.” The housekeeper grimaced and kept his head down. Kaze laughed. Unaware of his impending doom, Perry was still living it up. It was absurd. Perry was playing with fire by hurting Leah. “About time you wise up.” Arthur smiled and patted the housekeeper’s face. He opened the door to the basement. Kaze walked to the bar counter and picked up the best bottle of champagne there. He fiddled with the bottle before carrying it to the basement. The other Viper’s Den members followed him. Kaze took a stride down the steps, to the basement. The noisy music was blasting before they reached the entry. Kaze was filled with a mix of emotions. Nevertheless, he said nothing. He opened the door and walked in. The light in the basement was bright, making everything perfectly clear. However, the people inside were not bothered by the

    “You know him. It’s Perry Duncan, Leah’s ex-boyfriend.” Snow did not see the point of hiding the truth, so she laid everything out. “Leah must be feeling foul because she was unaware that she was being stalked. By the time she realized what was going on, she was taken into a vehicle. “We spotted the vehicle they departed in from the surveillance footage. They headed to the mountain up north.” Snow had a general idea of the location. “I got Arthur on the job. He’s putting up a team from the Viper’s Den.” Snow was uncertain of Kaze’s stance toward Leah, but now that she was made aware of the situation, the least she could do was help. Katie belonged to the Viper’s Den, so Snow was lending a hand to a friend in business. “Thank you. Please save my daughter.” Katie was nervous. The Viper’s Den was the people she could count on. “Arthur is good, but he’s slow. I’ll do it,” Kaze said. The whole thing was unrelated to him. Kaze was well within his right to stand on the si

    Even so, Elsie was out to get Leah. Elsie could pick up on Perry’s delight when she took a swing at Leah. Poor Elsie was just trying to survive by catering to others. People like her learned to pick up social cues and read body language to please customers for money in return. Their income would double if their customers were happy. Leah was the obstacle. If the women could not get rid of her, they would lose their profit. They had no hard feelings for Leah, but they stood on opposing ends. “You should be fawning over Mr. Duncan, not begging me,” Elsie said while grabbing Leah’s hair to pull her up. Leah snatched Elsie’s wrist to try and break free. “Let me go. I never did anything to you.” Leah was no doormat. She did not want to cross these people or get involved with them. She still hoped that by waiting here, her prince would arrive to save her. However, all she got was a cruel beating, and she had enough. “This isn’t my fault. Blame Mr. Duncan for your cir

    Leah had not had it easy these recent days. However, she had learned to be submissive and give in. It never occurred to her that Perry would do this to her. After repeated beatings, she quickly wised up. “Mr. Duncan, why is this disgusting person here? She’s an eyesore.” Dressed in a red number, a woman with wavy hair sat next to Perry. She clung to Perry intimately. She spoke in a sultry and mesmerizing voice. “Oh, she’s just a bitch. “She got on my nerves, so I punished her. I’ll dump her once I’m bored with her.” Perry had the time of his life getting back at Leah. He got a kick out of it. However, he did not feel that it was enough. Every time he looked at his injured hand, his resentment toward Leah grew. “How did she upset you, Mr. Duncan?” Another lady extended her arms to knead Perry’s shoulders while gently murmuring into his ear. With women gathering and fussing over him, Perry felt his ego thoroughly stroked. He was thrilled. “Well, she doesn’t kno

    Katie thought about everybody. Kaze was the odd one out, so he had to be the suspect. It made sense that Leah would elope with Kaze. “There must be some sort of misunderstanding. We can talk it out. Don’t do anything reckless.” Snow stopped Katie from doing anything extreme. “How could there be a misunderstanding? There can be no one else but him.” Katie was stubborn. “We can help with your daughter’s disappearance. You won’t get anywhere by picking on him.” Snow tried her best to defend Kaze. She would not let Kaze be hurt on her watch. Eager to find her daughter, Katie believed her suspicion to be the truth, and Kaze must have stashed her daughter somewhere. “I don’t have time to waste, but no one could’ve taken Leah away.” Katie was naїvely convinced that Kaze was behind it. Kaze had only just learned about Leah’s disappearance. It was quite late for Katie to finally look into the matter. “I didn’t take your daughter, but we can dig deeper into this.” Leah w

    The blue gem necklace around Snow’s neck brought out her elegance and class. Snow was educated well. She carried herself with ease at the social event. She exchanged pleasantries with business partners and greeted them all. Snow shared a few drinks with several prominent families. Aloysius and her secretary stayed with her and drank on her behalf.The party was a success. Kaze held a glass of wine to sip in a corner. Snow’s brilliance was the assurance he needed. He did not have to worry about her leading the Frosts now. “I guess I was worried about nothing. I didn’t even have to be here. She has gotten everything covered.” Kaze was concerned about Snow because she had always been his assistant. He was apprehensive that Snow would have no control over her staff after her promotion. He even asked the Viper’s Den to lend a hand. Nevertheless, Snow did not let him down. She had done a great job. Kaze drank wine and enjoyed the music. Soon, men and women entered the

    Aloysius looked at the business venture at hand with a mix of emotions. Jet was supposed to make a comeback with the project, but the defeat was a huge slap to his face. “Can I ask whether Kaze was behind this?” Aloysius braced himself to ask the question. Even though Aloysius had an inkling, he feared receiving confirmation of his suspicion. “Chairman Lee helped me. If Jet hadn’t hurt my mother, I wouldn’t have rushed back to take his place. “He did this to himself,” Snow said blatantly. “How did you know about the island project? We have been discreet about it.” Aloysius was eager to find out. The question would burn on his mind unless he got some answers. “You can’t keep anything from the Viper’s Den, but this is the end of the matter. If you’re interested in the project, I can put you in charge of it.” Snow could not be bothered to explain herself. Aloysius played it smart. He had been carrying out Snow’s orders without a hitch. Snow was happy to honor her prom

    “Tell them that the company is expecting funding, and all the projects will be launched in a few days. Everything will be back on track. It’s a good thing that the higher management is gone. We will be opening the positions for internal employees to apply.” Snow got the right solution to handle the situation. She had to give these employees hope to gain their dedication in return. Aloysius was surprised. “Who would pour money in when our finances are in a mess?” Having worked with Jet, Aloysius had a good understanding of the company’s ins and outs. Several business ventures were up in the air, and the company was bleeding money. Even with a relaunch, these projects would not bring in much of a profit. Most importantly, the relaunch had to be backed up by some funding. The business got a loan from the Viper’s Den. If payment was not made in time, the company’s shares would be used to make up for the loss. The whole thing spelled trouble. Snow just joined the company.

    “This is the financial report you submitted today. Any intern can do a better job than you.” Snow mocked Jack. She was disappointed in his performance. A finance director who could not even get his basics right should not be working in finance in the first place. “Who do you think you are, doing this to us?” The others are only out to save their own asses. They did not sympathize with Jack. “I’m sure you are well aware of what you have done.” “You’re on your phone all day at work. You put your daily expenses on the company card, and we’re talking about tens of thousands of dollars a month. You only bought stuff for your personal use. “Let’s not forget about you. Your so-called business trips are to take your mistress out for expensive hotel stays and vacations.” Snow looked at each one of them while detailing their deeds. She shamed them in public, utterly humiliating them. “Why were these allowed before? Why are you stopping these practices now? If you can change
