“Kaze, you can’t atone your sin even if you serve my family for a lifetime.” The Chapmans became a laughingstock when Tiffany was forced to be a maid. Edward yelled, “You attacked my only son, Eliot, and now he’s in a coma. The nerve of you to seek my forgiveness.” “Let’s not forget my son, Frank. You stomped on his legs until they were broken. He’s now lying in bed, waiting for amputation. He needs constant pain medication to ease the agony. “If I could, I would unleash my fury by giving you a slow and torturous death.” Flint flipped out. The bad blood between them went way back. All could not be pardoned with Kaze simply getting down on his knees. He was delusional to think an apology would cut it. Kaze’s death could not make up for the pain and suffering their children had endured. Darcy’s family and Nelson’s family froze. Their minds went blank. They thought that Kaze was out of line to turn the Jade Estate into a graveyard. To their dismay, the three family heads r
Darcy’s and Nelson’s families were flustered by the abrupt dismissal from the Jade Estate. “You idiot! You really lost your marbles.“Now the top three families are upset with me because of you. I want to kill you!” Nelson shouted at Kaze. Smack! Snapping out of the shock, Agnes slapped Kaze. “Must you drag the whole family down with you?” For once, Agnes said nothing more. Usually, she would tear into Kaze. Now, she had no more words for him. Kaze got into some real trouble. It was pointless to lash out at him. “I didn’t think that you would hide so many things from me, Kaze. I only know that Eliot is in a coma for having lewd thoughts about me,” Darcy remarked coldly. “I’m sorry, babe. The issues with Tiffany and Frank are because of James. The incidents are irrelevant to you, so I didn’t mention them.” With Darcy’s eyes turning chilly, Kaze apologized immediately. “Irrelevant to me?” Darcy shouted angrily, “I am your lawfully wedded wife. We share everythi
“Um…” Albert broke out in a cold sweat. It was a good thing he knew Miru was best friends with Darcy. Kaze would not mind even if he heard what Miru said. Otherwise, Kaze might raise hell because of Miru’s blatant insult. “What? Is there a problem?” Miru was displeased. Albert replied, “I can’t decide what the God of War wants to do. I wouldn’t dare overstep my boundaries. I can’t do it for you.” Soon, Darcy got a call from Miru, who conveyed Albert’s response. Darcy was devastated. Feeling bad, Miru gave a suggestion. “The only way Kaze can save himself is for him to attend the inauguration tomorrow.“He should try and meet with the God of War to apologize. “The God of War might not pursue the matter if asked in public. “The top three families might not take revenge on Kaze especially after the God of War pardons him.” Darcy saw a glimmer of hope. The issue was getting an invitation to the inauguration tomorrow. Darcy had heard rumors. The invitation was o
“Who said I was begging you?” Kaze asked indifferently. It never occurred to Kaze that Darcy would take him to Mathias to ask for help. Kaze was caught between emotions. Darcy grimaced.In case Kaze got on Mathias’ nerves again, Darcy stepped on his foot under the table. “Stubborn. You’re just stubborn.” Fortunately, Mathias let it slide and assumed Kaze could not put his ego aside. “Can I take your order, mister?” A server in the café approached. “Just a pot of tea, thank you,” Mathias replied with a smile. Soon, the server carried a pot of tea over. The server placed a cup in front of each individual and picked the pot up to pour the tea. “Hold on.” Mathias stopped the server and turned to Kaze. “You should show me how much you need my help. The least you can do is fill my cup.” “You’re not worthy.” Kaze took a glance at him, not wanting to dwell further in conversation with him. “I’m unworthy? You came begging me. How am I undeserving?” Mathias saw r
Even though the world stood against Darcy, she groveled and pleaded with Mathias. Mathias felt sorry for Darcy and held Kaze in contempt. Kaze was a loser who could not do anything right. All he did was get himself in trouble. He did not deserve a good woman like Darcy. “Never mind. Let’s skip tea and get down to business.” Mathias waved his arm. “Alright.” Darcy was dumbfounded. She said, “I heard that you paid to get access to Chief Commander Hiden’s inauguration tomorrow. I was hoping I could get an invitation too.” “That’s out of the question.” Mathias waved his arm. “Huh? Why?” Darcy asked in confusion. She was thrown off the loop. “The spaces are limited for members of the public since it is a military event.” Mathias explained, “The channel to purchase the invitation was closed when a celebrity named Taylor bought access two days ago. “It cost a billion dollars for a spot in the guest list. I doubt Chief Commander Hiden wants to take things too far.”
Darcy poured the investment of over two billion dollars from various companies into projects. Quartet Group’s funds were tied up at the moment. “I can accept shares of Quartet Group in exchange for the favor,” Mathias said. Darcy hesitated for a moment before shaking on the deal to save Kaze. In the end, she handed over 20% of her shares to Mathias. Since Mathias had nothing much to do in Lilyrose, he registered a company. Now, he managed to make Kaze his servant and gain shares in Quartet Group. It was a rather rewarding trip for Mathias. Once they agreed on a time for their attorneys to make things official, Mathias walked away satisfied. “What did you say to Mathias, babe?” with Darcy exiting the café, Kaze asked. After Darcy drove him out, Kaze stood outside the floor-to-ceiling window and observed them in case Mathias was up to no good. He had no idea what they had talked about. “Why should I tell you?” Still boiling with rage, Darcy glared at him and got
“Aster Ferlini, Shelly Fowler, Haiden Ludgram, Wayne Gerome, Zack Centauri, Kurt Ashford… “All the names that I mentioned, tell them to be at the Jade Estate tomorrow,” Kaze said. Aster, Shelly, and Zach teamed up with Frank to murder James. Zach was arrested already but the other two were still roaming free. As for Haiden, Wayne, Zack and Kurt, they were unimates of James, plus Kaze and Darcy. A few years ago, they were instigated by Henry to team up with Jessica and Kelly to accuse James, resulting in James’ expulsion from the university. All of them were arrested when the Construction and Material Society dissolved. Kelly, being closely involved with Henry, was forced off the ledge of Hilfinger Corporation’s building by the Lilyrose Three Elites. As for the others, they were released after a few days of detention. Kaze did not forget about them on James’ death anniversary. “I understand.” Snow nodded and went back to contact the names on the list. After walki
To ensure the God of War's safety, the airspace above the district had been declared a no-fly zone. Only armed helicopters were hovering above the sky for security measures. The intersection between Jade Lake and other river streams were also guarded by divers and marine officers. Every aspect of sky, land, and water was heavily guarded! The city council of Lilyrose also received an order from the top brass. “From now on, the Lilyrose Police Department is required to mobilize all officers on duty and stand guard 24/7. The God of War has made too many achievements, that’s why there are many foreign forces trying to remove him. “Stay on guard at all times. It is not just to ensure the God of War’s safety, but it is also to protect the citizens of Lilyrose!” The mayor, Johnson, gave a strict order to his men at the briefing. The Jade Estate was under heavy security. The Golding and Everia families were stunned. The top three families were originally on the same boat, y
