“Hector Quint must be a lucky bastard,” Gregory grumbled angrily with his teeth clenched. Narian’s legs were broken because of Kaze. The Lees invited Professor Whiteman to look at Narian’s condition, but then the professor was escorted to Lilyrose to check on Kaze’s father-in-law. “Contact our men at Lilyrose and tell them to bring Professor Whiteman back here!” Gregory said coldly. “Yes, Sir!” The butler went off to deliver the order but he came back shortly after. “Sir, our men found Professor Whiteman but he doesn’t want to come back. He even said he would not treat Young Master Narian’s legs!” “What?!” Gregory was furious and confused. “Did Kaze badmouth us and make that old man angry? I know Professor Whiteman is a righteous person.” It was no secret what the Lees had done to the Quints years ago. In fact, there were many versions of the incident and some of them sounded harsher than normal. Gregory suppressed his anger and called Professor Whiteman. “Profess
“You father can’t walk?” Professor Whiteman asked. “He can. His condition has stabilized lately and he can walk just fine.” Clank! Sully lit a cigarette and then said, “I don’t know what condition he is in. Why don’t you go have a look at him at Melrose?” “If he can walk, why don’t you bring him here to see me? I don’t think he is that old either.” Professor Whiteman fanned the smoke away with furrowed brows. “My father is living in seclusion and he doesn’t like to move around. Coming here is too troublesome. It’s better for you to come with us.” Sully pointed outside the window. “The car is ready outside.” “I’m not going.” Professor Whiteman picked up his glasses. “I have an operation at Sunrise City tomorrow and I have to go back later tonight.” He believed Sully was the son of some powerful family. People like him cared a lot about ostentation, yet Professor Whiteman disliked such an attitude. “What operation is so important that you have to do it yourself? J
“They were rude and arrogant. They simply took Professor Whiteman away and even beat up the security guard on the way out. “Mom and Dad were beaten as well,” Darcy said with teary eyes. “Treat someone? That means Professor Whiteman is going to be fine for now.” Kaze breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still angered by the incident. Someone took Professor Whiteman away under his watch. “Do you know who took the professor?” The priority would be to recover the professor first. Kaze knew the professor well enough to know that the man would not do as told no matter the threats. Once his abductor went out of patience, he would be in danger. If the abductor was able to take Professor Whiteman away in broad daylight, then they must have strong support. “The man said his name is Sully Lee and he took Professor Whiteman away to treat his father,” Agnes said. “Sully Lee… I’ll find him and tell him to bring the professor back. I’ll make him apologize to you two.” Kaze’s ex
Agnes did not allow Kaze to go to Melrose because she worried he might cause trouble with his recklessness again. “Miru can go alone. Her godfather is Alan Cummingham. I bet that Steve Lee will show her some respect,” Darcy said, agreeing with her mother. Kaze shrugged and simply stayed home, waiting for Miru’s news. The Mel River was the biggest river in Melrose and it penetrated the city geographically. Beside the Mel River was an estate with a classic architectural style, located at the edge of the woods. There were picturesque buildings and beautiful structures in the estate and the path that led up to the main building was basked in sunlight. Some tourists who passed by the place might have mistaken it as a tourist spot and wanted to go in for a tour. They would be stopped by suited men with earpieces and would only be released after the men checked their cameras and phones for any photos or videos they had taken. The men would then inform the tourists that the est
“Really?” Sully was surprised. He then chuckled and said, “Poor bastard. Albert Hiden took him yesterday and I took him today…” Slap! Before he could finish his sentence, a slap landed on his face, leaving behind a reddish mark. “What? Why did you slap me?!” Sully covered his face and looked at his father in shock. “I slap you because you are being careless. The man is a national icon and has connections to many other powerful families, yet you took the man here by force. Can’t you find someone else to do it? You really think we are still invincible outside Melrose?” Steve lectured his son. “That’s not a big deal. That old man didn’t even cause any trouble when Albert Hiden took him. He’s just a fame chaser, I bet he will not want to cause a scene,” Sully grumbled. Steve grunted and somehow agreed with his son. He asked, “You don’t even know he was taken yesterday, how did you know he’s in Lilyrose?” Steve was known for his ferocity and machetes but if he was just t
Professor Whiteman shook his head, which infuriated Sully even more. “Old man, the news said that you are as amazing as Jesus, but you don’t want to cure my father just because I took you here by force? You call yourself a doctor? Hmph! You lousy fame chaser!” Steve did not react to the professor’s rejection, nor did he stop Sully. “There’s a code that I follow, especially as a doctor. I do not treat the evil,” Professor Whiteman said. “You old geezer! You’re asking for it!” Sully shouted, “You are on my turf and you think you can just reject me? Go ask who is Invincible Lee and who is he here in Melrose.” “Invincible Lee?” Professor Whiteman scoffed. “You better change the nickname or it will bring nothing but disaster to your family.” Up until this point, not only Sully was infuriated, but even Steve’s expression turned grim. “Professor, what did my title do to you that you want me to change it?” he asked coldly. The title Invincible Lee was earned from many years o
“I have fallen for you at first sight, Miru!” Sully did not expect his father to know him this well. He nodded immediately. “Master Lee, this is not funny.” Miru’s expression turned grim. Sully was a few years younger than her godfather and even Sully’s son was only a few years younger than her. It was a blatant humiliation! “If you don’t want to be his wife, then please leave,” Steve said without being concerned. “I am bringing the professor back today no matter what.” Miru was agitated as well. Steve grunted. “Who do you think you are? Even Alan would have to show me some respect and you are just his goddaughter. How dare you talk to me in that tone?” Then, two rows of suited men came in and locked onto Miru. “Ms. Scarlet, this way please,” said the leader of the group. “Master Lee, I won’t forget this. I’ll be back!” Miru grunted. She then turned around and left without pause. When she arrived at the estate, she already knew that the place was filled with S
Kaze felt helpless because Darcy grounded him. Otherwise, he would have gone to Melrose to meet Steve in person. With all options exhausted, he pulled out his phone to call Snow. “Tell Shane Blanc to talk to Steve Lee. Tell the man to send the professor back before dinner tonight. “His son also hurt my in-laws at the hospital, so I want him to apologize to them. If they hurt the professor, the Lee family of Melrose will be erased for good.” After he put down the phone, he realized the living room was exceptionally quiet. Everyone was looking at him strangely. “Hahaha! Kaze, you are funny. Not even drunk Nelson would say something like that,” Agatha said as she cackled. Agnes wished she could escape the embarrassment. “Kaze, the professor is taken away and you are still joking? Where is your conscience?!” she bellowed. “Kaze, it’s really inappropriate for you to say that!” Even Darcy was mad. “I know you guys don’t believe me, so just wait and see.” Kaze was helple
