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
Shane bowed. “Master Lee, the person wanted me to tell you to send the professor back to Lilyrose before dinner tonight. At the same time, Sully and his men must go to Lilyrose’s Horizon Mirror Mansion and apologize to the couple that they hurt. “If you hurt the professor, then the Lee family of Melrose will be erased.” Professor Whiteman laughed when he heard Shane. He knew Kaze had intervened. Miru frowned in confusion because she heard the same words from Kaze before. She now realized that the important person who asked Shane to deliver the message to Steve was Kaze. As for Steve and Sully, they reacted terribly to Shane’s words. “Shane, are you trying to mess with us?” Sully bolted up and shouted furiously. Steve did not say a word. Thump! Shane knelt immediately and said, “Master Lee, those are not my words. I am just delivering the message and I did not alter the meaning of the message.” “Who is the person that asked you to deliver the message? I’ll chop him
Shane was tossed out of the estate. Miru tried defending Kaze but Steve rejected her as well. “He dares to challenge me? Imbecile fool! No one can protect him now!” Steve was infuriated. A useless son-in-law of the Quints impersonated the God of War and made him look like a fool. He almost became the joke of the city! “Hahaha! Steve, that useless trash is but an ant that you can kill with one pinch, why so angry?” Gregory said with a bright laugh. Steve asked expressionlessly, “Greg, what are you doing here?” “I am here for the professor. Steve, please let me take the professor back to Sunrise City, for the sake of the family.” Gregory even smiled at the professor. Little did he know, Professor Whiteman was laughing at him inwardly when he called Kaze useless. Professor Whiteman did not respond to his kindness at all. “Take the professor away? No! No one is taking the professor away today!” Gregory thought that once he helped Steve solve the problem, he would be
“Oh? He said that?” Kaze scoffed. “I see. I understand.” Kaze then hung up the phone. Darcy then came over with a pale look. “Kaze, I grounded you but it seems like I have to seal your mouth too.” She glared at Kaze. “What’s wrong, Darcy?” Agnes asked. “He really told Shane to deliver the message. He’s impersonating the God of War again, and now Steve Lee wanted him to be there before dinner to apologize!” Darcy said helplessly. “Kaze, are you trying to get yourself killed? Even if you want to save the professor, you don’t need to impersonate the God of War again. When would you learn?” Agnes twisted Kaze’s ear. “Agnes, I really have no idea how you deal with such a freak.” Agatha did not expect Kaze to really do it either. “What are you going to do now? Saving the professor is troublesome enough and now you are wanted as well. What are you going to do?!” Agnes angrily poked Kaze on the chest. Kaze said, “What else? Steve Lee wanted me to be there, so let me
Bang! Following a loud explosion, the signage made with premium obsidian rock was blasted to the ground, breaking into smithereens. The loud commotion captured the attention of passersby. People and cars stopped to have a look at the estate’s entrance, and they were all shocked. Steve Lee, the kingpin who had been in power for decades, had his signage smashed. Someone was trying to challenge his status in Melrose! “What the hell is going on here? Who the hell smashed Master Lee’s signage?!” The huge commotion caught the attention of the guards. A group of suited men with earpieces rushed out, shouting angrily. “I did it. What are you going to do about it?” Albert said as he stepped forward. “You are asking for it!” The leader of the guards stepped forward with his fist raised, ready to throw a punch at Albert. “Oscar, hold on! There are soldiers with guns here! Something is not right…” His men wanted to stop him but they were too late. Swoosh! Guns were rais
Steve frowned when he heard the frosty voice. “Sully, who is it outside?” he asked sternly. Sully did not answer. “You want to break my arms and legs?” The frosty voice asked once more. “Uh-Uh… It’s just a joke…” Sully stammered and sounded like he was about to burst into tears. Steve finally realized something was not right. He put his cup of tea down and looked at the entrance. Sully, with his hands raised, was retreating into the room carefully. Huh?! Steve gasped and his eyes widened when he saw Sully being pointed by a gun at his forehead. Albert pushed Sully in with the gun at the forehead. Kaze and Miru were behind Albert. Following behind them was the Armored One Battalion! Steve could no longer maintain his calm. He bolted up and went to the center of the lounge. He saw through the door that his guards were all beaten up and forced onto their knees outside the lawn. He then looked at Sully and Albert, who had a gun at his son’s forehead. He knew
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
“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
“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
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,
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
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
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
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
“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
