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

    Manipulating the situation with ease. That was the only phrase Buffy could think of when she looked at Kaze. Kaze’s method was straightforward and effective. However, not everyone could execute it as perfectly as he did. Only Kaze, who had skills and the right mental state, could overpower his opponent in every aspect. When he used those methods on people, it worked naturally. It was why Naix was overthrown so easily and could not make a comeback anymore. The executives quickly forgot about teaming up with Naix to oppose Buffy. No one would stand against money. Compared to the vampire, Naix, Buffy and Kaze were generous. If the executives could perform, they would be rewarded. Even though nothing had been carried out yet and those were mere words from Kaze’s mouth, they did it better than Naix. The tides had changed. Naix was humiliated and even the executives who saw him as a king sneered at him scornfully. The anger in him almost erupted like a volcano. He t

    “Mr. Krad, you shouldn’t be that shameless…” Kaze did not even need to speak and the other senior executives started to mock and sneer at Naix. Mock after mock, Naix’s expression grew darker. Everyone at the table knew the circumstances clearly. If they did not band together to overthrow Naix, they would either face even worse oppression or suffer retaliation afterward. Therefore, they might as well take their bets with Kaze and Buffy. Seeing his influence fade, Naix stood stiffly as he stared at Kaze and Buffy, his gaze gleaming with mixed emotions. A while later, he took a deep breath and bowed. “I am sorry, Mr. Lee, Ms. Gwake. I was wrong. I was incompetent. It was all my fault. I hereby apologize.” An unprecedented insult drowned him as he apologized. His mind was not filled with apology but the thought of ripping Kaze and Buffy apart. The meeting today was prepared for Buffy. He was confident that she would step into the trap, thus suppressing her. Yet Kaze j

    “Ask yourself, do you think you deserve to take that much? “You even go after the employees’ bonuses. It’s not that difficult to know how much you’ve taken with some calculations. “You’re greedy. You're like a vampire, sucking out the blood of the employees and executives. “Frankly speaking, the fact that Gwake Corporation hasn’t been brought down is because the executives were too weak and gullible.” Buffy personally collected the information. She was not going to fight an unprepared battle. She knew Naix represented Faith. Before Buffy took up her position, she had already prepared to suppress Naix or even take him down to establish a strong image within the company. However, if she revealed the evidence that she had gotten right away, the other senior executives would not take her seriously. After Kaze slapped him in the face and seized the initiative, taking control of the situation, things were different. Kaze successfully stirred up the anger and resentment that h

    Buffy found Naix’s righteous words amusing. He failed to sow discord among the senior executives, so he went after her and Kaze. Just when Buffy wanted to speak up to defend Kaze, to her surprise, Kaze slammed on the table. “Unfilial? Coming from you?” Kaze said coldly. “You think we don’t know when Faith is away as president and you abdicate the vice president, getting hold of the entire company’s operation? “Tell me, which department haven’t you poked your nose into? You’re not trying to do things yourself because you want to do things right or improve the company. You’re doing it because you’re trying to embezzle money and line your own pockets! “You squeeze every penny you can from each deal and if there’s one you can’t profit from, you’d rather ruin it. “Whenever an executive achieved good results or sealed a major deal, earning promotions or rewards, they had to go through you first, bribing you with money and women, before they could approach Faith for the real rew

    Before Naix could even think of a response, Kaze tossed another termination letter in his face. He said righteously, “St. Mary’s is just a hospital. “If you can’t even get their distribution rights, then that makes you useless. Am I wrong? It’s not a big deal and you need Buffy and I to deal with this? “I can say that anyone else in this room can make the deal happen and those who cannot are useless trash. “If those who cannot make it and then find excuses to shift the blame, that’s a piece of useless shit! “If you can’t even handle that much, why is the company paying you a shitload of money each year? It yields a better return if we have ten pigs here!” Kaze sounded more arrogant than Naix earlier and he showed no respect to the other executives in the room. He did not care how others looked at him at all either. He continued, “If anyone doesn’t like how I do things, thinking that I am being rude and tough, then you may leave. I have no problem with that. “If anyone t

    Kaze spoke coldly, showing no respect to the senior executives. All the executives at the table reacted bitterly to his words, their expressions darkened. New boss, new way. They understood that Kaze and Buffy wanted to suppress Naix’s arrogance but it was surprising to them that Kaze directed the flame to them, burning them all together. The company could continue to operate without them? If they left, Kaze could easily get a new batch of replacements? What lies were those?! All the executives were offended by Kaze’s words, their teeth gritted as they stared at him. “Hmph! Anyone can talk big. I’d like to see what happens to the company if you fire all of us. I dare you!” An executive who sided with Naix argued. He was provoking Kaze, trying to give him a hard time. Kaze was unfazed, he did not even say a word. Soon after, the secretary of the president’s office brought in a mountain of termination letters. “Slam!” Kaze slammed the termination letters on the

    Naix drew distance from Kaze, moving away from him, and then covered his face, shouting, “You little bastard! What the hell is this? “If not because of you and Buffy, St. Mary’s would not have stopped collaborating with Gwake Corporation! “You shifted the responsibility and you hit me? Do you have a death wish?!” His teeth gritted, staring at Kaze with a vicious gaze. Ever since he joined Gwake Corporation, thanks to his relationship with Faith, he had been acting like a tyrant, disregarding others and forcing everyone to obey him. Yet Kaze slapped him multiple times in front of all the senior executives, turning his face into a swollen apple. It was a humiliation that he could not accept! “Because of us?” Kaze smirked and said, “Today is our first day here. We haven’t done anything and you’re telling me that we screwed up the deal with St. Mary’s and there’s no coming back from that? “Naix Krad, was it?

Anyone on the street can do your job better than you.“You’re all losers.” Kaze’s outburst took everybody by surprise, especially since he had been holding his tongue.The crowd was caught off guard. Even Buffy did not see it coming. She did not think Kaze would be so blunt as to point fingers at the senior executives.“Bastard!” Enraged, Naix slammed the table and stood up. He leaned forward intimidatingly and shouted furiously, “Who do you think you are? You have no right to speak here.“You are a newbie. You don’t know anything. How dare you raise your voice. “You better get out of here at the count of three. “One…” Kaze cut Naix off with a slap. “Smack!” Naix took the hit.

    When Faith was the president of Gwake Corporation, she was not very hands-on. However, she leveraged the Krads’ connections to befriend the Geranium Heartanos. Hence, Faith assigned her nephew, Naix, to be the liaison with the Geranium Heartanos while restricting others within the company from contacting them. Faith and Naix wanted to keep the connection to the Heartanos to themselves. Naix claimed that a deal had been reached with St. Mary’s. As such, he could make the deal go away too. If that were to happen, Gwake Corporation would face its initial investment and risk losing its reputation. Naix got one thing right. Money could not buy back a reputation once lost. He even twisted Buffy’s words, saying that she wanted to fire him. Buffy would bear the brunt if Gwake Corporation were to lose its partnership with St. Mary’s. She might even be forced to resign on her very first day as the president because of this deal. Kaze suspected that Jude might have set Buffy up
