Chapter 6 Cloud Nine

Author: Five Generals
“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’t want Henry to wait for us!”

Agnes did not even spare a glance at Kaze as she dragged Darcy into Miru’s Land Rover.

As the car drove off and disappeared into the distant horizon, Kaze’s phone rang.

“Boss, Giovani has prepared a feast as a token of apology for offending you. It’s being held on the ninth floor of Cloud Nine, Emperor Hall. Do you want to…”

“Tell him to pick me up.”

When the Land Rover arrived at the entrance of Cloud Nine, Henry, who had been waiting, went up to welcome them.

He wore a branded white suit and held a bouquet of roses. He opened the car door for Darcy and said, “Darcy, you look amazing tonight.”

Darcy forced a smile on her face.

Miru nudged Darcy in the waist and grumbled, “Henry is talking to you, say something!”

Darcy leaned over to her and whispered, “I’m worried about Kaze not having anything to eat tonight.”

“You are worried about that retard? You really don’t learn from your lessons, do you?” Miru said with a sigh.

“Wow!”

Someone cried all of a sudden.

An extended white limousine then drove into the porch, and the five 9s on the number plate attracted much attention.

Even Henry was surprised. “Isn’t that Giovani Beneli’s car? He’s eating at Cloud Nine as well?”

Giovani Beneli was an influential man of the underworld, whose power rivaled that of the law enforcements.

Agnes and Hector looked in the same direction.

Then, the door opened and a young man came out. He then followed the waiter into the elevator.

Darcy stared at the young man and it somehow looked familiar. “He looks like Kaze.”

“Kaze?” Miru raised her brows and ridiculed, “Darcy, you must be seeing things. Kaze will never come out from Giovani’s car in this life, or his next life.”

Darcy reluctantly nodded upon hearing her friend. She must have mistaken the young man for Kaze.

Darcy along with her parents and Miru followed Henry to the third floor of Cloud Nine, named Moonlight Breeze Hall.

“Wow! The third floor is already this grand and luxurious. I wonder what the higher floors look like. And that legendary Emperor Hall on the ninth floor, I heard it’s as grand as the palace!”

Agnes was captivated by the interior of the Moonlight Breeze Hall. She went around the place, looking at and touching the beautiful decorations.

Henry was delighted by Agnes’ response. He said, “Hector, Agnes, why won’t we order first?”

“Oh right, let’s order!”

The couple sat down and started to look at the menu.

When they saw the prices, they hesitated. The ridiculously expensive pricing made them feel like they were having gold for dinner instead of food.

Henry was quite calm. After he made his order, he even added two bottles of properly aged Romanée-Conti.

Miru was also a wine connoisseur. She said with flattery, “Henry, you shouldn’t have. Those two bottles of Romanée-Conti cost around thirty to forty thousand.”

Henry smiled. “It’s nothing. I am the host of this dinner tonight and I have Agnes, Hector, and Darcy here to dine with me. This is the least I can do to express my feelings.”

For a moment there, Agnes and Hector were deeply convinced by Henry’s generosity. As expected of the eldest son of a first-tier family, he was a hundred times better than the retard they were forced to call son-in-law.

Outside the hall, Kaze was shuttling across the corridors.

When he made a sudden turn, he almost bumped into the waitress with the two bottles of wine. She tripped and almost fell, but fortunately Kaze caught her.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m okay!”

The waitress was mortified. If she dropped the two bottles of wine, she would lose salary for the entire year.

“I think you sprained your ankle, why don’t I help you deliver the bottles?”

The waitress tried to move her feet but the pain stung her. She nodded and thanked Kaze.

“Thank you, sir.”

Back in Moonlight Breeze Hall, the group were chatting happily over dinner, except for Darcy as her thoughts had drifted off.

Agnes noticed her daughter’s blank look. She leaned over and whispered into her ear, “Darcy, why are you so quiet? When the wine is here, you better pour some for Henry, understand?”

“Mom, I don’t want to drink,” Darcy helplessly said.

“You have to!”

Then, the door opened.

“Sir, madam, your wine is here.”

“Kaze?!”

Agnes was sitting opposite the door and she spotted him at first glance. She bolted up and cried in shock.

The others were surprised as well when they turned around.

“You pesky useless thing! Why did you follow us here? Who let you in?” Agnes was furious.

She glanced at Henry, afraid that he would be mad because of Kaze’s uninvited entrance.

Miru scoffed. “Kaze, you have quite the nerves. Cloud Nine forbids entry without a member card. Don’t tell me you pretended to be a waiter and slipped in.”

Kaze shook his head. “Someone invited me here.”

Darcy looked at Kaze, baffled.

Miru scoffed in disbelief. “Who would invite a retard here to have dinner? Kaze, don’t tell me you still have some retardness left in your brain.”

Henry sized up the well-known retarded son-in-law in Lilyrose from top to bottom. He did not care about Kaze at all.

He waved nonchalantly and said, “I don’t care how you get in. Put down the wine and leave. Go where you should go.”

“How can a retard bring us such an expensive wine? How are we going to drink it?”

“Yeah!”

Agnes snatched the bottles from Kaze and bellowed, “Get out of my face!”

Although he was not welcomed, Kaze looked at Darcy and said, “Darcy, Pietro’s boss is hosting a feast on the ninth floor, the Emperor Hall. He said it’s to apologize to us, do you want to come?”

His words silenced everyone present.

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 7 Want to Meet Someone Important

    “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

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 8 It Doesn’t Matter Whose Son You Are

    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

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 9 Shameless Quints

    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

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 10 Birthday Present

    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

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 11 VIP on Business

    “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

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 12 Mysterious Black Card

    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.

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 13 Divorce Before Returning to the Quint Family

    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

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 14 Ms. Darcy, Please Head to The Estate

    Meanwhile at Lily Rose Court, Darcy put on a new dress and makeup, but she still looked poor. “Kaze, I’m done. Let’s go.” Darcy smiled beautifully. Even though Kaze was not able to give her a grand birthday party, she was happy as long as they were together.Kaze nodded with a smile. He tried to hold Darcy’s hand but Agnes appeared and slapped his hand away.Displeased, Agnes said, “Are you really going to dinner with this retard? Henry is hosting a party at a five-star hotel for you. Each table costs one hundred thousand dollars.” As soon as her words subsided, car honks came from outside the house. Agnes relaxed her brows and said, “It must be Henry. Darcy, come on!” When they came down, they saw Henry in a handsome white suit and a large bouquet of roses, leaning against his Maserati. He strode over when he saw Darcy descending. “Darcy, happy birthday. Here’s your present.” Then, he opened a jewelry box to reveal a diamond ring. “Henry, this…” Darcy frowned, se

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3582 Gratitude

    Snow felt bad about Kaze going to Butterworth solely to help her, so she could not just stand idly by. She wanted to help when her presence was needed. “That won’t be necessary. There’s nothing you can do here.” Kaze believed things were progressing smoothly so Snow’s presence here was not needed. In fact, if Snow came back to Butterworth, Jet would surely be alarmed, which would lead to the exposure of Kaze’s plans. Snow was slightly disappointed. She really wanted to help Kaze. Kaze headed to Butterworth because of her. She already blamed herself for not being by his side. Now that she was rejected, she felt terrible. “Chairman Lee, if not because of me, you wouldn’t be in this mess,” she said with a hint of regret and sorrow. Snow stood by the window in a brightly lit room, enjoying a moment of peace, while Kaze was running around tirelessly for her and her family. “Your priority now is to take care of your mother. When your mother has fully recovered, you can bring

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3581 Snow Calls

    “I understand.” Arthur took notes of everything Kaze said and started to plan out the arrangements in his mind. He was more than happy to see Jet suffer a great loss. Jet had always been acting like a king in Butterworth. If they could pull him down from the throne, many would be glad to see it happen. A tyrant who sat high on the throne would never care about the peasants; the peasants did not like the tyrant as well. “Don’t rush it. We have a lot of time.” Kaze was in no hurry. He believed they could take more time to prepare. Acquiring the projects from Jet’s hand was considered a step in progress as well. He took a sip of his drink and then looked at Arthur. “You look tired. I bet you haven’t been sleeping lately. Why not go get some rest? Your dark circles are heavy.” Kaze did not want Arthur to neglect his health to help him, so he gave a piece of reminder. “It’s my honor to help you, Mr. Lee. Besides, I am getting a lot for myself lately.” Arthur’s income

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3580 Don't Let Jet Do It

    “I can tell he’s running out of patience. His handsome face looked a little tired recently.” Arthur had been carrying out Kaze’s orders and he occasionally met Jet. It was just that Jet never took Arthur seriously. Even if they met face to face, Jet did not have any idea who he was. Kaze chuckled at Arthur’s words. Jet never showed any respect to people below him. Kaze would never let him off easily. He took the documents on the table to have a look and found several interesting projects. Had he not interrupted Jet's businesses, once the projects started, Jet and the Frosts would earn a fortune. “This attraction is quite fun. I played it for a while the other day and it’s quite interesting,” Kaze said. “After the funding for this project got halted, their manager is at a bind. They tried to secure more funding and investment. They know this project is going to make money but time is not on their side, which caused many parties to drop off,” Arthur commented after havi

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3579 Fake Trust

    Kaze continued chewing on his watermelon while listening to Arthur’s update. “It’s interesting. Jet is like a God here. If he’s interested in any project, he gets involved and makes a fortune out of it. “Slowly, people gathered around him and started to trust him. This isn’t anything worth noting but he does resort to dirty tricks to snatch projects at times.” Arthur chuckled as he continued. The more arrogant Jet had been, the more pathetic he looked now. “He got what he deserved. I guess he’s simply unlucky.” Kaze found it amusing. It was also the outcome that he expected. He had been making moves with a clear objective in mind, not merely out of revenge against Jet. “He is. The project owners who were forced to sell their work to him at a lower price are now celebrating.” Arthur had seen a fair share of things recently and he understood why the Frosts became who they were now. He looked down at them. For a family to grow, it must take careful steps one by one,

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3578 Impatient

    As the CEO of the Northborn Group, Katie was extremely busy. Despite her busy schedule, she still had to take care of her daughter’s birthday party. Katie could have assigned the task to her assistant but worrying that a slight mistake might embarrass herself, she decided to take matters into her own hands. “Why is the girl so stubborn? I just slapped her in the face and she’s not answering my calls,” she said, her tone upset. She never knew her daughter could be so stubborn. She believed she did the right thing because she wanted Leah to be better, yet the girl did not appreciate her gesture and insisted on blaming her. “Leah is a smart girl, but this is too much. Regardless, she can be mad all she wants. As long as she’s still within our turf, things won’t spiral out of control.” Joey then came back with a cup of coffee and put it in front of her boss. She said softly, “If she’s a smart girl, she would know what to do and not just make you mad every time.” Katie sta

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3577 Strange

    While Kaze was staying in the hotel, he kept having a feeling that he was being watched. It made him uncomfortable. His worry resulted in extra caution but he had never met anyone unfamiliar at the penthouse level. He did not want to have excessive contact with the hotel staff and tried his very best to stay away from Katie. He was not afraid of the woman but he simply did not want to get himself in trouble. The Northborn Hotel was the biggest hotel in Butterworth. It was the house of many, probably almost all, important banquets and events in its grand ballroom. Being able to host a banquet at the grand ballroom was considered a prestigious honor. Although the reservation process was tedious and the fee was exorbitant, many people still wanted to host their events or banquets at the hotel. The Northborn Hotel was also decorated lavishly, equipped with many convenient infrastructures. Other than banquets and events, companies would also rent the place for business meeti

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3576 Well Informed

    Aloysius came to have lunch and he picked up a piece of information during his meal. He wondered if it was real. When he first heard it, he thought it was ridiculous, but on second thought, it somehow made sense. Katie usually looked like a caring but overprotective mother but who would know for sure that she would not do something so outrageous? Once a person was driven by benefits and gains, sentiments and emotions ought to be sacrificed. “She’s ruthless but only a woman with her personality is fit to be the CEO of the Northborn Group,” Jet said with an approving nod. When a person discarded all sentiments and emotions, he or she would be invincible. “Are we attending the party?” “Of course we are. I still have to find the mastermind.” Jet refused to just step back. Someone ought to pay for halting his business ventures. “I understand. I’ll prepare a gift.” Aloysius nodded and turned around to leave the room. Jet remained in his seat, sipping on his glass of win

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3575 Keep Tabs

    Jet did not look worried. His companions were confused. Anyone else in Jet’s position would panic. Each day the business ventures were on hold, and he faced continuous losses.However, Jet remained composed. It proved that Jet was competent to face problems. Despite the obstacles, Jet was able to overcome it in no time. “I see. Do tell if you need any help. We are happy to lend a hand.” “Yeah. I’m sure the problems will go away soon enough.” The group uttered, not taking the incident to heart. Seeing that the group was gullible, Jet was relieved. After dinner, Jet sent his drunk guests away. Jet grimaced. “None of them know anything. Those who do won’t see me.” Jet was curious as to who he had upset to deserve the attack. There was still wiggle room in regard to his business ventures, and Jet could still afford the wait. Nevertheless, it was frustrating to be targeted. “Is there anything you need, sir?” Aloysius asked. “Keep an eye on these people. Check

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3574 Catch Wind

    “We are happy to have dinner with you, but it’s only been a few days since we last saw you.” Though confused, the group took their seats. Jet invited them out to see if they knew anything about the mastermind behind the halted projects. However, the group behaved no differently from before. “Friends should always stay connected. I’m looking to take on a few business ventures. I was wondering if any of you are interested.” Jet was not in the mood to start new business dealings. He was simply trying to extract information from the group. Jet’s business ventures were stalled, and if the group had an inkling, they would not do business with him.If they were in the dark, they would jump at the opportunity to close the deal. They could not possibly say no, especially since they had been begging for Jet to throw a lifeline. “What kind of business are we talking about?” “Yeah. Can we be a part of it?” “I’ve been wanting to do business with you, Jet. It’s a pity we never
