“Never mind. What’s the point of taking your life? I expect you to pay respects on my buddy’s death anniversary.” Lightning Tiger was relieved. Kaze said, “I have a rule, though. The price of upsetting me is never waived.“Like you, Gold Tooth has surrendered his assets, but he annoyed me again, so I told him to pull out his two front teeth.” Kaze added indifferently, “Leave something behind before you go.” Lightning Tiger thought about it before crawling to grab the butterfly knife Kaze threw on the ground. Gritting his teeth, he stabbed his hand. “Argh!” Lightning Tiger yelled in distress as two bloodied fingers dropped on the floor. “I sliced two of my fingers, Mr. Lee. I keep my arms intact so that I can give Mr. White a proper burial on his death anniversary,” Lightning Tiger said through the pain. Screams echoed in the private lounge. Kaze waved his arm with a blank face. “Beat it.” Lightning Tiger took his men and scrambled with their tails tucked between t
Kaze and Rose arrived at Dynasty Hotel. The building was hung with a huge poster of Taylor, and the security was tight at the entrance. “Let’s join the line to get tickets, Kaze.” Rose dragged Kaze to the end of the line. “Weren’t you going home, Rose?” The members of the fan club came along. Terry was among them. He had a change of clothes. He turned his head away in distress when he saw Rose. Terry was scared and resentful toward Kaze. Kaze embarrassed and cockblocked him tonight. He did not expect the husband of Rose’s cousin to be a good fighter. Kaze managed to disarm Lightning Tiger’s subordinate and spook Lightning Tiger to get on his knees. At first, Kaze blew Terry’s mind away. Later, Terry convinced himself that Kaze was simply good at fighting. That was nothing else worth commending. “Yeah. Kaze agreed to take me to the meet-and-greet,” Rose said proudly. They chatted until it was their turn to get the tickets. “Hello there. I would like to purcha
An MPV cruised along under the protection of the bodyguards in suits. No doubt it was Taylor in the car. A group of young men and women grew excited. One of the fans shouted, “We should tell Taylor about the unauthorized ticket price increase by the organizer. Taylor cares about us fans. She will help us.” “That’s right. We should let Taylor know.” The others agreed. Once Taylor stepped out of the parked MPV, the group started yelling. “Taylor, the organizer raised the ticket price without permission!” “We want a fair ticket price! We want to attend your meet-and-greet!” The staff member responsible for ticket sales scowled, unable to stop the group’s outburst. In the end, the staff member called her superior. “What happened, Alisa?” Blocking her expression with a pair of sunglasses, Taylor waved at the fans while asking her agent. The agent got off the phone and replied, “These fans aren’t pleased that the ticket price has been raised to 20 grand. Why don’t y
“I’m sure all of you are Taylor’s true fans. “Taylor’s career has just taken off. If you like her work, please support her. Every bit helps her climb the showbiz ladder.“That’s all I have to say. We are grateful to all supporting fans. “It’s fine if you don’t want to show any support. Please leave now before we call the cops for causing a disturbance.” Alisa then walked away without hesitation. The fans were dumbfounded. The circumstances remained unchanged. In the end, it was pointless protesting about the price increase. A handful of fans paid 20 thousand dollars for a ticket and walked into the hotel as the other fans watched on enviously. “Hey, don’t you want to attend Taylor’s meet-and-greet?” Terry said with a smile. “Duh, Terry, but we don’t have the money. The organizer is just fishing for more cash.” “Money is no issue.” Terry whipped out a credit card and handed it over to the staff member. He said with great generosity, “I’ll pay for everybody’s ticke
“Taylor’s agent and the organizer hiked up the price. It has nothing to do with Taylor.“She’s the best to us fans. Taylor is kind. I bet she’ll be mad to know about this.” Despite feeling down, Rose defended Taylor. Kaze shook his head. Even though he did not know much about showbiz, he knew celebrities would assume a persona in public. The celebrities only showed the public what they wanted the public to see. There was no telling how these celebrities would behave in private. Rose seemed oblivious to that fact, though. She was too deep in her fandom. Kaze said, “I can take you into the hotel if you want to attend the meet-and-greet, Rose.” “Really, Kaze? Do you have enough for the tickets?” Rose asked excitedly. Kaze shook her head. “We’re not getting the tickets. What’s the point of meeting Taylor with a large group of people? I will get you a private meeting with her. At least you get to see her true colors.” He did not want to hear Rose talking about the woman
“Mr. Chairman, Taylor Swan’s agent has been notified.” While taking the elevator up, Kaze received a call from Snow. “Tell her to make it quick. I hate waiting.” When Kaze hung up, Rose still did not take her eyes away from him. “What’s the matter?” “Kaze, can you really get Taylor to see you?” Rose still could not believe it was real. She heard Kaze on the phone, offering 100 million dollars to Taylor to meet with them in private. Here Rose thought that Kaze was bragging again. However, the general manager of Dynasty Hotel tended to him. Rose could not find any other explanation for the general manager’s behavior. “I thought she was here to see you since you are eager to meet her.” Kaze added with a smile, “I just wanted to chat with her about one thing.” “Mr. Lee, Ms. Oceanid, we have arrived at Emperor Hall.” With the elevator stopping, Lincoln announced. “Wow!” Rose’s jaw dropped when she stepped into the venue. She was dazzled by Emperor Hall’s lavish
Terry would not dare to get any ideas when it came to a celebrity like Taylor. The only thing on his mind was to show off in front of the female fans. “Sure thing.” Taylor gave the okay with a smile, and the crowd burst out with shrieks. “That’s amazing, Terry. You’re the only one Taylor is hugging tonight.” “Rose doesn’t have money to be here tonight. If she finds out, I bet she will be so jealous.” “Ha! Her relative, Kaze, can’t even afford 20 grand. I can’t believe he tried to steal Terry’s thunder before.” “Terry’s right. So what if he can fight? Money talks!” The members of the fan club put Kaze down while buttering Terry up. They followed him up to the stage. They were excited to shake hands or high-five Taylor. Terry was happy and ready to give Taylor a hug. “Taylor.” Suddenly, Alisa the agent came up on stage and waved at the host before approaching Taylor. “What’s the matter, Alisa?” Alisa whispered in her ear, “A VIP just arrived at Dynasty Hotel.
Taylor finally showed up at the door. Rose was thrilled beyond words to see her favorite idol. Taylor was surprised. She was not expecting to see a young girl. The VIP who spent 100 million dollars to meet Taylor turned out to be a much younger lady. Taylor was jealous. Still, she reflected none of her inner emotions on her face. Taylor nodded in reverence. “Hello, young lady. Thank you for supporting me. How should I address you?” “I’m Rose Oceanid, Taylor,” Rose said in a daze. Taylor was an idol, worshiped and screamed at by her fans. Now, she stood before Rose in deference. Rose could not get used to it. It put a damper on her excitement. Somehow, Taylor’s attitude made her sick. “Ah, Ms. Oceanid.” Unaware of Rose’s changed opinion, Taylor smiled ingratiatingly. “I believe you aren’t a local to the city. “As far as I know, the Oceanids aren’t one of the top three families in Lilyrose.”Rose was puzzled that Taylor would think she came from an elite family
