When Master Quint called Horizon Mirror Mansion, Darcy was also looking at the news on the Quint and Lee families being sought after by their debtors, demanding payment. “I knew that something was wrong when the Quint and Lee families bid blindly without assessing the value of the companies. I just did not expect things to get out of hand so badly. “Everything collapsed on them at once. This isn’t normal. Someone must be pulling the strings from the back.” Darcy was speechless as well. The Lee and Quint families spent a few hundred million to buy some garbage. “The one who pulled the strings from the back is me, your dear husband.” Kaze said as he chuckled, “I am doing this for you.” “You keep telling yourself that.” Darcy rolled her eyes at him. She was surprised that Kaze was able to deal with Deborah but she did not believe that he was so capable of dealing with the two families. “Other than the Sunrise Lees and Butterworth Queens, could there be another family who
“Disaster has befallen the Quint family and it’s all because of your stupid husband!” Master Quint shouted from the other side of the phone. Darcy moved the phone away and looked slightly irritated. “Grandfather, the Quint family is in this situation because you are greedy. I warned Samus but he didn’t listen. Don’t put all the blame on Kaze!” Master Quint did not expect Darcy to be so protective of Kaze, which infuriated him even more. “Not his fault? The Internet is filled with rumors he released and he’s fanning the flames! Otherwise, this wouldn’t collapse on us all at once!” Darcy was surprised to find out that Kaze was indeed the one pulling the strings. “Darcy, Deborah was arrested and the Quints have become the joke of the city. What else do you want from us? Your Uncle Rudy has crossed the line but I already scolded him. Do you want to see them jump off the building before you stop? Are you really going to go that far?” Master Quint said sentimentally. Far? If
“Darcy, don’t entertain scam calls anymore.” Kaze tossed the phone back to Darcy and continued, “These kinds of calls will lure you and scam your money. Worse, they might sell you away and you will be gone forever.” “Kaze, that’s Grandfather!” Darcy glared at him. Kaze continued with the same look, “I don’t want you to listen to him. If he recalls his announcement now, when you shoulder the debt, they will release another statement to throw you out of the family again. Besides, I said I will help you build another powerful family and none of the Quints will be able to leech on you.” “That’s not what I am talking about!” Darcy pinched him and glared at him. “You called yourself Daddy in front of Grandfather, what are you thinking?!” Darcy snapped out of it the moment Kaze snatched the phone away. She knew her grandfather was trying to trick her again. Like Kaze said, once she shouldered the debt, they would kick her out once more. She was mad at Kaze for being audacious.
Master Quint and his family were outside Sky Ocean Corporation, causing a scene. He wanted to see Darcy, but the security guards, who were veterans from the Garo Spec Ops Team, stopped them outside. “I am your chairwoman’s grandfather! I want to see her! How dare you stop me? I’ll get you fired!” Master Quint shouted. “Step aside! We are going to see Darcy! You won’t be able to handle the consequences of standing in our way!” “Move! How dare some security guards stop us outside!” The other family members echoed and shouted at the security guards. They looked down on the security guards and showed no respect for them. The veterans were no longer serving the Garo Spec Ops Team but they were trained to carry out difficult missions and tempered by the harshness of the battlefield. Some of them were decorated soldiers as well. The insults and disrespect infuriated them, but they could not do anything because they knew Master Quint and the others were the family of the chai
“Kick!” The moment the security captain shouted, all the security guards launched a kick together. It was quite an amazing scene as a row of men launched their kicks at their opponents en masse. Swoosh! The kicks were so strong that they caused a strong whirr. The bodyguards who jumped into the air were kicked in their chests. “Aaagh!” Painful shouts sounded consecutively. All the bodyguards were kicked away and fell down the stairs. Bones were cracked as they fell onto the ground. Everyone in the Quint family gasped in fear as they stared at the security guards. “Where did Darcy find them? How much is she paying them annually?” With one kick from the security guards and all the experts the Quints recruited from the top three families were defeated. They were so shocked that they did not even realize how much it would cost them to replace or heal the heavily injured bodyguards. “Not much. We are paid 20 thousand each per month,” the security captain said.
“Yeah, let us in and we will apologize to Darcy ourselves.” Master Quint was forced to lower himself since he was in dire need of Darcy’s help. “Apologize? You bring all your bodyguards here to Darcy’s company and shout at the security guards, and you say you are here to apologize?” Kaze scoffed. Master Quint clenched his teeth. “It’s Samus being reckless. I’ve scolded him already.” He quickly shifted the fault to Samus. Kaze did not want to be calculative. He said, “Very well. If you are here to apologize, then show how sincere you are.” “What kind of sincerity are you looking for?” “Simple. I want every one of you to kneel before the entrance.” Kaze’s voice was loud and clear. His words infuriated everyone. How dare Kaze demand them to kneel before Sky Ocean Corporation in broad daylight? “You want us to kneel?!” Rudy and Samus shouted their disagreement. “What else?” Kaze said. Samus was fuming. “I will fucking rip you apart…” Slap! Master Quint slapped
“Look! Look all you want! It’s out anyway!” “The entire city should know that Darcy made her own grandfather kneel and turned on her family!” “From today onward, no one would do business with her.” The Quints remained kneeling on the ground, unable to do anything to free themselves from the humiliation. The only thing they could do was complain to vent their grievances. Then, Kaze’s frosty voice came from the phone’s loudspeaker again. “Tell the public what you did to Darcy in the past two days. Don’t try to hide it, I know what you did.” Everyone was silenced. They refused to reveal what they had done. “No? Then leave.” Kaze clearly grunted on the phone. Master Quint helplessly looked at his son and grandson. “We forced Darcy to make a report on behalf of Deborah or else we will kick her out of the family and take her name away.” “We spread false rumors about her being raped by three men and her being Mathias Queen’s mistress.” Rudy and Samus revealed everythin
The Quints refused to believe that Darcy was not in Sky Ocean Corporation. They strongly assumed Kaze lied to them and prevented them from seeing her. “You really think she’s here because of the car?” Kaze was struck with realization. He said, “I drove the car.” “Why did you drive her car?!” “Why can’t I drive her car?” “Then why did you come here?” Kaze scoffed. “My wife is the chairwoman. Why can’t I come here to have a look?” “The chairwoman isn’t here today. We are simply accompanying Mr. Lee on his inspection.” It was then the CEO of Sky Ocean Corporation, Alfonso, came out. He went up to Kaze and asked respectfully, “Mr. Lee, are there any more departments that you wish to inspect?” “That’s enough. I don’t know how the company works. I’m just here to have a look.” Kaze smiled and added, “Bring me my car, I’m going home.” Soon, the Maserati Quattroporte was driven over. Kaze got in and drove off. “Kaze, that bastard! He lied to us!” “I want to kill
From the very first time Draig met Kaze, he had never thought highly of him. In the subsequent encounters, Kaze’s repeated tolerance of the mockeries from Wesley and Cyan further solidified his image of a coward in Draig’s mind. With such prejudice in his mind, Draig could not accept the fact that Kaze was stronger than him. Coincidentally, he found an acceptable and reasonable explanation for all the inexplicable occurrences, so he hypnotized himself into believing the false. “Can you get up?” Under everyone’s surprised gaze, Kaze strolled over to Jiro and peered down at him condescendingly. Gasp! Phew! Jiro mustered enough strength to look up but the pain was insufferable and he was gasping for air already. Baam! As he struggled to get up, the marble table beneath him further crumbled into pieces, causing a loud clunk. He held onto the couch and slowly got up on his feet. His eyes at Kaze showed unprecedented fear and seriousness. He had come to Arcadia for many
Jiro looked shocked. He did not expect Kaze to dodge his dropkick that easily. With a twist of his waist, he changed his body’s momentum mid-air and swung his left kick at Kaze’s face. However, forcefully changing his momentum mid-air decreased the power and speed contained in his attack. “I don’t like people pointing their feet at me,” Kaze casually said. As he spoke, he lifted his leg too. Without any fancy move or technique, he simply did a high kick, clashing kicks with Jiro. Kabaam! When both feet locked, Jiro’s body convulsed as if hit by lightning. He cried in agony before he was sent hurtling like a stringless kite, crashing onto a couch. The marble table in front of the couch shattered under the force of the crash. He lay down helplessly and weakly, his arms and legs wide open, and his body still convulsing as he could not find the strength to get up. He looked as miserable as it could get. The entire room fell into a dead silence. Many of them rubbed the
Cyan simply watched from the side without a hint of guilt. She believed she had done everything that she could for Kaze. Even if Kaze were to be beaten to death, he deserved it and he could not blame it on anyone else. Jiro was stunned for a moment. When he was learning from his master, he was slapped many times and it was part of the training. It had been many years since his last slap. Kaze’s slap rendered his mind blank for a while. He finally regained his composure after some time. He stroked his burning cheek as he stared at Kaze with eyes burning with anger, almost materializing into an erupting, raging volcano. “It has been a long time since anyone slapped me. Arcadian, you are dead!” Jiro’s freezing words gave everyone chills. It was obvious that he was infuriated. Kaze was not deterred at all. He smiled and said, “Slap is nothing. I will make you kneel in front of me. “A coward like Wesley cannot represent us Arcadians, but your claim of making us kneel p
“Hold on!” Just as Jiro turned around, a voice came from the back, saying, “Jiro Sakamoto, was it? Did I say you could leave?” Jiro was stunned. He slowly turned around to Kaze and raised his brow. “What do you mean?” Cyan and the others were also in shock. ‘Did I say you could leave?!’ Kaze was practically saying that without his permission, Jiro could not leave. The audacity!? Was it because Miru defended him and he thought he could step on the pride of the face of the Refined Blade Dojo? Miru frowned but quickly eased up. She stepped aside without saying anything. Kaze stood firm and still, saying, “I’m like you. I don’t like serving revenge cold. If you want to take revenge, come at me now. I’ll give you a chance to strike.” He gestured at Jiro, indicating that he was ready for a fight. Jiro looked at Miru and then switched his attention back to Kaze. He scoffed, but it felt icy. “I’ve already spared your life once because of Ms. Scarlet, and you are still c
Everyone looked at where Jiro was pointing and saw Kaze. Wesley and the others immediately curled their lips into a gloating grin. Kaze’s words must have infuriated Jiro. He allowed others to leave except for Kaze, which he wanted to take away. One could only imagine what would happen to Kaze if Jiro took him back. However, before Wesley and the others could savor the moment, their smirks froze. Miru shook her head and said sternly, “Bronze Sparrow is open for business and we will not interfere with our customer’s private affairs, except this time. “I am making an exception for Kaze. I don’t care what you do to the others after you walk out of my place but with Kaze, it’s not happening.” “What the…” Miru’s words put everyone in shock, even Cyan and her friends widened their eyes in disbelief. Miru was defending Kaze?! Kaze knew Miru personally as well? Draig started to feel jealous about Kaze’s luck with women. Snow listened to him while the owner of Bronze Sp
“Nonsense!” Infuriated, Jiro shouted, “Woman, Bronze Sparrow thrives because of us Ryokanians! How dare you say that to us? “Who the hell are you? Not even Zoro, the previous manager, spoke to me like that!” “That’s why Zoro is dead.” Miru pursed her lips and raised her hand at the men behind her. “Let’s show Mr. Sakamoto what Bronze Sparrow is capable of.” “Alright, Boss!” Wolf, with an ever-smiley face, stepped up and walked toward Jiro and his men. Aside from the three Ryokanians Kaze had already taken down, eighteen remained. Seeing Wolf's bloated figure and cheerful smile as he approached them by himself, the Ryokanians burst into mocking laughter. “What is this fat guy trying to do? Is he trying to take us all at once?” “Look at his size. Was he a sumo wrestler before?” “Go get him. Teach him a lesson! Remind him that sumo wrestlers are no match for us!” One of them went up to Wolf with a ferocious smile. Bang! Wolf punched the man in the face, sending
“Huh?” Jiro frowned but then quickly smiled. He took the glass of whiskey from Cyan and said, “I’m always happy to give a beautiful woman some space.” Cyan breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around to face Kaze with a different look and said, “Kaze, what have you done? “Can you stop causing trouble? Stop bragging and stop with your nonsense! This is no time for that! Kneel before Mr. Sakamoto and ask for forgiveness! If he’s happy, your punishment might be lighter!” The look on her face screamed resentment for Kaze. “Now! If you waste this chance, I won’t care about your life and death anymore!” She did not want to get involved in his nonsense. Yet she was the one who organized the gathering and if something happened to Kaze, injured or dead, her father would scold her to death. It explained why she steeled herself up and tried to save Kaze, or so she assumed she was saving him.Kaze said, “Cyan, you should worry about yourself first. And, if you don’t want to be thei
Kaze was quiet during the entire confrontation, so no one noticed him until now. Wesley and the others finally thought of him. Kaze did not kneel! Wesley and the others were aggrieved. Kaze remained seated as he said, “Why should I kneel?” “You think you don’t need to kneel because you knocked out one of my men?” Jiro narrowed his eyes and said, “Only Brother Draig doesn’t need to kneel here. All the other men have no right to speak to me on their feet! It’s decided by strength!” He spoke in a deep and intimidating voice, expressing his displeasure. Everyone sensed the anger in his tone. With his intimidating presence, he would not allow an unruly person to disrupt the situation he had under control. He deliberately held back from the first strike because he wanted the overwhelming presence that he had created to force Kaze down on his knees. Such a way that targeted one’s mentality was smarter and more effective. “Kaze, you idiot! Why aren’t you down on your kn
“Go, open another bottle of wine.” Jiro tapped Cyan’s face, causing her cheeks to turn pale. She turned to Draig with begging eyes. Draig said, “Brother Jiro, Cyan is my friend…” “Is she your woman?” Jiro interrupted him once more. Draig was taken aback by the question. He had an instinctive glance at Snow and shook his head. “No.” Jiro did not even look at him. He pointed at Cyan and said, “Go. Open a bottle of wine and wait for me. I like an obedient woman. I don’t like to be rough on a woman.” Cyan was horrified. She teared up as she reluctantly went off to get the bottle of wine. Jiro and the men behind him then hopped onto the couch, taking up the places that belonged to Wesley and his friends. They were ungentlemanly. The moment they sat down, they grabbed the pretty girls into their arms and molested them, treating them like mere playthings for pleasure. The ladies lost their smiles and looked horrified. They tried to break free but no matter how hard the
