“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
Miru grunted. She knew that with Albert’s arrival, Kaze gained even more confidence in his bragging and bluffs. Kaze was smart enough to stop impersonating the God of War, or else Albert would probably strangle him alive. Steve was shaking on the ground. He did not take Kaze’s words for granted. From now on, he decided to never use the title ‘Invincible Lee’ anymore. “Who went to the hospital and took the professor?” Kaze went over to the main seat and sat down. “Mr. Lee, it’s my son and his men. I’ll call them in right now!” Steve, with his knees on the ground, turned as Kaze walked past him. Kaze hummed a reply. Soon, the five men whom Sully brought to Lilyrose came in and knelt in a single row. Sully knelt and said, “Mr. Lee, I’ll be honest. I might be rude but I didn’t hurt the professor at all.” “I know. Professor Whiteman is a forgiving person, so let’s just put this aside first. I want to ask you about something else,” Kaze said. What else if not taking P
Hearing Steve surrendering his entire assets without a doubt, many were deeply impressed by his resolution. He surrendered his assets just to avoid a disastrous end because he offended Kaze. “Well, confiscate his assets then.” Kaze did not take the money for himself as he was not interested in Steve’s assets or anything. He then added, “As for your business here in Melrose, I want you to put Miru in charge. You can retire now.” Kaze already had a plan to boost Miru’s power and reputation, so this would be a great chance. In addition, he could save himself and Darcy a lot of trouble. Miru was stunned. She did not expect Kaze to be this bold and force Steve to hand over his power to her. She looked at Albert and realized her cousin was quiet. She grumbled inwardly. Kaze was smart enough to flatter her in front of Albert. No wonder Albert would allow him to steal all the limelight. As for Steve, he was devastated. He did not expect Kaze to force him to depower himsel
Miru again! Kaze was rendered speechless. He called Albert to help and he thought Miru would finally learn, yet the self-righteous woman still thought he was impersonating the God of War. “Forget about it.” Kaze shook his head and then said to Professor Whiteman, “Professor, you can stay here for the time being and I assure you no one will take you away anymore.” He brought the professor back home, which excited the family. They treated the professor like their elders. “Haha! After what happened today, who else would come after me?” Professor Whiteman joked. He did not reject the suggestion. After all, he had been through life and death with Kaze and he was always saved. Darcy and family had a good sleep for the night, but not the extended Quint family. Despair continued to linger in the Quint family’s residence. The acquisition caused a chain of problems and the Dallas Moneylender extorted them for two billion. The entire extended family was being pressured to
Other members of the Quint family admitted their mistake too. To think the high and mighty would genuinely acknowledge their fault to Darcy. Darcy’s eyes welled up. The burden of the past lifted at last as she finally found closure. As the Quints suspected, Darcy had a weak spot for them. Darcy pulled out her phone. “I’ll give Miru a call. Maybe she can get through to Dallas Moneylender.” “Hang on.” Kaze held her hand down. With Kaze threatening to foil their plans again, the Quints gnashed their teeth. “Kaze, Grandfather and the others have admitted their mistake, and they are welcoming us back with open arms,” Darcy told Kaze. “Come with me, babe.” Kaze pulled Darcy to the side and whispered, “Just pretend you can’t do anything for them. Test the waters. If they are genuinely apologetic, I’ll support you in getting the Quints out of the mess. But if they’re only doing it to trick you—” “I’ll go along with it.” Getting the message, Darcy nodded. She pretend
“The Vinlands? That’s the mega-rich family.” “Oh, Tanya’s family. Technically, we are related to the Vinlands.” “The Chrysant Vinlands are wealthier than the Sunrise Lees.” The older members of the Quints were ecstatic. They knew the history between the Quints and the Vinlands. Master Quint was the son-in-law of the Vinlands, taking their family name when marrying Tanya. Tanya, who passed away more than a decade ago, was the heiress of the Vinlands. Subsequently, Tanya had a falling out with her family. She walked away from her family with Master Quint and started a business in Lilyrose. That was how the Quints came to be. Over the years, the Quints and the Vinlands never kept in touch. The young members of the family like Samus had hazy memories of the Vinlands. They only learned the truth from their elders. “Don’t you remember me, Master Quint? I’m Hudson,” the middle-aged man standing before Master Quint said with a pretentious smile.Surprised, Logan exam
