The next day, a commotion invaded the quiet area of Skylar View District first thing in the morning. Both families in the villa were woken up by the noise. “Oh, no. Don’t tell me the God of War wants him arrested.” Agnes glared at Kaze anxiously and walked out. Everybody followed suit to see what was going on. Once at the neighborhood entrance, they noticed the gate was crowded.A few Tiger Fang Militia soldiers on duty kept watch of the gate, not letting anybody in. “I’m sorry, Ms. Quint. These people showed no intention of attacking, and they were outside the district. We did not take measures to tighten the security.” With Darcy’s family approaching, the leader of the security team explained. “It’s alright. Sorry to trouble you.” Darcy sighed. Being neighbors with the chief commander had its perks. The area enjoyed enhanced security thanks to the military presence.Otherwise, these people would have broken into the place. Darcy walked over and peeked through
“Help! The idiot slapped him!” “What the hell is wrong with this idiot?! He pretended to be the God of War and now he’s slapping people?” “Damn! He’s quick! But he slapped someone on live! He’s dead meat!” “GGWP!” As the famous influencer cried and screamed, both the live comments and the entrance outside the residential district went crazy. Someone even recorded the scene and posted it on different social media platforms. The incident soon went viral and was trending on different platforms. The live welcomed a surge of viewers and the comments flooded the screen as a reverse waterfall. All the other influencers were excited. All the cameras were pointed at Kaze. “You see that?! That stupid idiot slapped me and he impersonated the God of War! He slapped me on my live stream!” The poor influencer forgot to scream as he showed the injuries on his face. He could not even speak properly after the slap. “Shut up!” A foot stomped on his face. Thump! The famous i
Terry’s followers continued to rise and it was all because of the God of War. He was no one but a side character at the press conference, yet he became famous overnight on the Internet! A ton of sponsors were already messaging him. If everything went well, he could start racking in a huge load of money starting from this moment. His father, Wester, was also a rich man with a few hundred million worth of assets, but it was due to his hard work of more than a decade. Terry, his son, became famous and earned as much as him in one night. God of War was indeed the hottest topic on the Internet and in real life! “Kaze, you are done for! I’ve captured everything you’ve done live and no one can save you now!” Terry shouted excitedly as he raised his selfie stick. “Do you have any idea how many viewers are watching my live? Fifty million! And the numbers are rising! It’s going to reach a hundred million soon! And it’s all thanks to you! It’s all because of you that I got so many
Violation? What violation?! “Impossible! I’m a national star right now! I defended the God of War’s name! What’s with the violation?!” Terry almost lost his mind. He shouted at the people behind him, “Go contact the company! Give me back my account! Or I will go to another platform and go live! They will lose a megastar for good!” It had just been one night and Terry already got a team of assistants. His assistant quickly contacted the platform that got him banned. After a while, the assistant put her phone down and looked at Terry with disbelief. “Boss, the platform said they were ordered by some special government department to ban your account. Not only you but everyone who talked about the God of War or did duets on the topic was all banned, or at least shadowbanned. “The accounts who spread false news about the God of War are also banned, not just on one platform but across every single social media platform. The severe ones are even arrested!” As the assistant rep
The people who arrived before the gate were the CEOs of respective social media platforms. All the influencers were thrilled to see them as if they were some superstars. They forgot about Kaze and went up to the CEOs. Terry rushed to the front and went up to Mega Dance’s Alonso. “Mr. Anderson! I am Terry Zolda, the one who exposed Kaze yesterday! Why did the platform ban my account? Tell your men to give me back the access…” “Get out of my face!” Alonso bellowed and glared at Terry before he could finish. The other influencers were pushed away as well. When the CEOs saw Kaze standing further away, their expressions shifted slightly. They nervously strode up to him. “Mr. Lee! We are here to apologize!” More than a dozen CEOs of famous social media platforms bowed before Kaze en masse. Be it Terry and the influencers or Darcy and her mother, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. They were shocked by the scene before their eyes. What happened? The CEOs le
“We were cyberbullied because those people, in order to gain views and attention, fueled the flames from behind.” Kaze grunted angrily and added, “Just making them apologize is going easy on them.” If he did not agree to the strategic lie, he would not let those people off the hook so easily. Each one of them would have to pay for what they did. Darcy comforted him. "It's over now. Calm down. Thank God we got away this time. It's all Taylor Swan's fault! She looks innocent on the outside, but underneath she's a vicious person. She almost got us into trouble!" Darcy was also irritated by what happened. “Don’t worry. That woman will pay. She can’t run,” Kaze said coldly. At Dynasty Hotel. “Alisa, you’re amazing! This is what you call killing with a borrowed knife! Kaze and his family are being cyberbullied and I became the victim and won the netizens’ compassion! I went on X and saw my name trending behind the God of War and the stupid idiot! After this, I’ll be famous an
“Calm down! Calm down!” Alisa said to Taylor, but she was also comforting herself. She was always smarter than others and due to her pride, she refused to accept defeat just like that. “Mr. Willis, is there any way around this?” “Yes! Based on reliable information, four days later, the chief commander of South River Strategic Department, Albert Hiden, will hold an inauguration ceremony here in Lilyrose. “Albert Hiden used to train under the God of War, so the God of War will be invited to attend the event. You two can seize the chance and apologize to him and everything will be solved.” Alisa and Taylor reignited their flames of hope upon hearing Mr. Willis. However, to meet the God of War, they would have to spend one billion to purchase an entry. Since most of the invited guests were military personnel, only a small number of entries were open to the public. The top three families of Lilyrose had spent a billion each to secure their entry slots. “Mr. Willis, can the
Darcy and her family finally understood why the CEOs of different social media platforms would come all the way to Lilyrose just to apologize to them. The God of War found out someone was using his name to cause a disturbance, so he intervened and stopped it. “The God of War is wise! All the social media platforms are calling Kaze the impersonator but only the God of War saw through Taylor’s stupid trick!” Rose’s eyes were gleaming with infatuation. She somehow became the God of War’s biggest fan. “Stop it!” Nelson stopped his daughter from being overly obsessed. He then looked at Kaze and said coldly, “Even though the God of War stepped in this time, you got Rose in trouble because you impersonated him and we all got into trouble because of you. I think Darcy should consider leaving you.” He had always wanted to matchmake Darcy with Kiev and this incident gave him another opportunity. His words increased the tension in the living room. Kaze looked at Nelson coldly. “Yo
Leah was grateful for Kaze bringing her to the restaurant to have a simple birthday celebration. It was something she had never experienced before. She liked the serenity and tranquility of such life. Yet no matter how much she enjoyed it, everything would come to an end. When she finished her meal, she would have to go back. She knew her mother would question her about what happened today once she reached home. “Let me send you back.” Kaze picked up his jacket as he offered to send Leah back. Leah nodded and followed him out. When they came out from the alley which was the entrance to the restaurant, they saw the black Maybach at the side of the road. Peter came down immediately and opened the door. Leah reluctantly went over, seemingly unwilling to go in. “What’s wrong? Is there something else?” Kaze asked warmly, wondering what happened to the girl. “Will I get punished and scolded if I go back just like this?” The girl was scared to go back due to the impuls
“Silly girl, there’s no need for teary eyes. It’s just a cake. If you like it, I can bake for you and have them delivered to you every day,” Kaze said. He found it amusing that the girl was moved. “You don’t know, but it’s okay. Thank you.” Leah happily took the cake. Kaze put a candle on it and lit it. “Make a wish, Princess,” Kaze teased as he spoke, but he truly wanted the girl to be happy. “Thank you. I never thought I would spend my birthday here. There are no fancy stages and everything, but I like it.” Leah always preferred a simple and quiet birthday. Having dinner with her family and blowing out candles on a birthday cake were a luxury to her before this. To be honest, she did not want to spend too much time thinking about her birthday but what happened caught her off guard. “Make a wish,” Kaze added softly. Leah put her hands together, made a wish and blew the candle. She did not know if her wish would come true, so she did not want to say it out loud. “
“It’s okay. I have time.” Leah did not want to go back and knew what her mother would say to her, so she wanted to stay out for as long as possible. “Alright. Then I’ll get on with it.” Master Fuller then started to prepare the ingredients. His hands were moving non-stop. Kaze enjoyed his beer and appetizer quietly. The entire room was quiet except for the cooking noises. Leah watched Master Fuller cook. She enjoyed it as if she was watching a show with a charming performer. Master Fuller was just cooking but the girl was deeply captivated. When the dish was prepared and placed in front of her, she anticipated the taste even more, wondering if it was better than she had expected. “This looks great. I had never seen a dish being prepared in such a complicated way.” Leah watched from cleaning the ingredients to cutting it, blanching it, and then frying it. The process was so complicated that she could barely keep up. Due to that, she believed the dish would match he
“I can take everything. Make whatever you feel like, but I have to say, you are good at what you do.” It had been days since Leah visited and she had been missing Master Fuller’s cooking. “Girl, you have the sweetest mouth; this one, on the other hand, is stingy with his praises.” Master Fuller glanced at Kaze. “Your cooking is good. You are an experienced chef after all and have been in the big league. If you can’t even serve the basics, then why are you running this place? “Oh, your courtyard is quite beautiful. I bet you spent a lot of time on it. But if you have the time to do that, why not spend more time honing your cooking skills?” Kaze said sarcastically. “Interior design is just my second hobby. You don’t need to be so sarcastic,” Master Fuller replied, but he did not really care what Kaze said. He was more than half a century old and not many things in the world could hurt him anymore. “Today is my birthday, so let’s enjoy it. Let’s not talk about unhappy stuf
“The lilies that we have here are extremely valuable. Their prices can go up to millions when they bloom.” It was a hassle to take care of the lilies but when they bloomed, not only were they beautiful, but their value would skyrocket as well. Moreover, this particular species of lily was rare, which made it even more valuable. “I really can’t tell. I thought they were just grasses,” Kaze said bluntly. “I didn’t see clearly the other day and I also thought they were just grasses. Now you’re telling me they are lilies?” Leah attended bouquet classes before but had limited knowledge of flowers. “It’s fine. It’s just there for people to enjoy when they bloom.” The waitress pressed her lips, speechless at their lack of taste. Though it was understandable since Kaze and Leah obviously came here for lunch, not to enjoy flowers. As they talked, they crossed a bridge and arrived at the cottage. They turned around and saw that the little stream beneath the bridge was teeming
After what Kaze did today, Leah could already tell he was no ordinary man. In a critical moment, he was the one who stepped in to solve the problem. If he could command the Viper’s Den, then he had to be someone of high rank or authority. These were just Leah’s speculations. She still could not get a verification. However, spending more time with Kaze allowed her to understand him more. “I don’t like to drive.” On second thought, Kaze realized a girl as pretty as Leah would prefer a private car to a cab. Therefore, he looked to the back. A black car pulled up and stopped in front of them—it was Peter! Stepping out, Peter silently opened the door for the two of them. From the moment he arrived, he did not say a word as if he were simply following orders. Leah was surprised that a Maybach appeared before them when they needed a ride. The car was anything but ordinary. Its sequential number plate only emphasized the owner's unique status. Despite the surprise, when
After Leah left the Northborn Hotel, she felt relaxed. It might be inconvenient to walk on the street with the dress but running with it made her feel like a princess running from an arranged marriage, like those of a fairytale. The dress might be heavy but it felt like an armor for her, granting her unparalleled confidence to achieve the freedom that she dreamt of. “Are you really that happy? You’ve been chuckling since you came out. Someone ruined your birthday party and you don’t seem like you care.” Kaze looked at Leah with a hint of surprise. Not everyone could share the girl’s optimism. “I’m just happy because you are here with me,” she blurted out without much thought. She had been searching for Kaze but could not even catch a glimpse of his figure. Yet whenever she was in trouble, he would appear like the God of War descended from heaven, saving her from distress. “What a silly girl. Come on, let’s go find something to eat,” Kaze said with a helpless smile. The
“It’s just a minor injury. I wish I could do more.” Jet averted his gaze in embarrassment. He did not know how to answer the question. “You should get it checked out by a medical professional. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease. “You’ve done a lot, and I’m grateful. A lot has happened today, so please excuse me.” Katie felt exhausted as she remembered her daughter being taken away. Her daughter turned out to be rather defiant. “Don’t worry too much about it. The Duncans will provide you with an explanation.” Jet consoled Katie. Jet’s intention was to use Katie’s access to the Viper’s Den’s resources. He needed to find out who was out to get him. Now it appeared that Katie would not be of help to him. Plus, Leah ran away with another man. Katie had her hands full. “There’s no telling whether the Duncans will come after me, but it’s no big deal. This will be over before we know it. You should see a doctor.” Katie could feel her head splitting. Things went beyond her ex
“I don’t care about the party. It’s just for show anyway.” Leah was not keen on the social event. She would not attend the party if not for her pushy mother. Besides, Leah doubted anyone was there to give their best wishes. She could not stand the fake setting. Katie was furious. She planned the event elaborately so that her daughter would shine. However, Leah did not appreciate her efforts. “What did you say? I threw the party for you. Now that it’s ruined, I’ll organize another event for you.” Katie felt like she was losing her daughter. “So what? I won’t like it anyway.” Leah refused to engage with her mother. Fighting with Katie was meaningless. “Don’t get on my nerves. Get right here right now.” Fear washed over Katie, making her feel uneasy. She did not like this side of her daughter. “I can’t stand this place.” Leah looked up at Kaze. Kaze nodded understandingly before snapping a cold look at Perry. “I hope you will learn your lesson this time. You b
