“Don’t hit my mom!” It was dead silent at the entrance of Dynasty Hotel. The crowd froze as if time had stopped. Only Brenda’s heart-wrenching cries pierced through the air. “Don’t cry, Brenda. No one can hit your mother on my watch.” A tender voice belonging to a man rang in the girl’s ear. Brenda felt a gentle stroke on her head. She opened her tearful eyes and saw Kaze before her. “Godfather!” She exclaimed with joy before whining to him, “A mean lady is trying to hit Mom!” “It’s okay, Brenda. I punished the mean woman,” Kaze said with a smile. He glanced at the woman on the ground with her hand over her cheek. Woah! Only then did the stunned onlookers seem to come to life. The scene erupted into chaos.They stared at Lyn who had collapsed to the ground. The high and mighty woman threatened to slap Winnie. Now, she lay on the ground with a swollen cheek. One of her heels fell yards away. Lyn looked like a mess. A figure jumped in when Lyn trie
“Bastard! You don’t even have the guts to say your name. “Don’t think for a second you can hide because you withhold your name. Once I find out, I’ll kill you!” Lyn glared at Kaze and gnashed her teeth. The onlookers kept mum about Kaze’s identity. They refused to tell Lyn his name and there was nothing she could do about it. “You don’t have to know my name to kill me.” By then, Kaze had learned the whole story. He glanced at Lynn. “You’re just a lapdog if you need to know who I am to kill me. You only bully the weak.”The crowd knew Darcy’s loser husband could fight, but they did not know he had a mouth on him too. “How dare you call me a lapdog!” Lyn went ballistic. “Shut up if you’re too scared to kill me.” Paying her no attention, Kaze pointed at Juno. “Did you knock my goddaughter over?” “What? Are you trying to scam me for money?” With a raised brow, Juno said curtly, “Well, you’re barking up the wrong tree.” “I’m not scamming you for money.” Kaze a
“Chrysant’s belle, my ass. My wife’s prettier.” It was dead silent at the entrance of Dynasty Hotel. Kaze’s words lingered in everybody’s mind. Yume was the princess of the Vinlands and the most beautiful woman in Chrysant. Yet, Kaze called bullshit on it. That was not the only thing. It never occurred to anybody that he would slap Yume in the face. Kaze got right down to it. The fact that Yume was a woman did not stop him. How could he hit a delicate woman? The crowd stared at the red handprint on Yume’s cheek. They felt bad for her. “How dare you hit me!” Yume lost her cool. She stared savagely at Kaze. Everybody could read the fury in her voice. Kaze had enraged the Vinlands’ princess. “I mean, she was asking for it, but the idiot is done for. No one can save him after the stunt he pulled.” “He won’t be charged for assault, but the Vinlands have a million ways to make him suffer.” “Yeah. No one can face the wrath of the Vinlands.” Many gave Ka
“Call the security officers. I want him to regret this day for the rest of his life!” Yume hissed through clenched teeth. Her voice was chilling. She was on the edge of losing it. As the princess of her family, she was loved and favored. Even the older members of the family would not raise their voices at her, much less hit her. Yet today, Kaze slapped her in public. She had never been so humiliated. Many turned pale, startled by her remark. They could read the resentment in Yume’s tone of voice. The threat was directed at Kaze. Instead of shivering in fear, Kaze approached Yume with a smile. “Before that happens, should I hit you a few more times?” Everybody gasped sharply. The idiot knew no boundaries. “Go to hell!” Yume gnashed her teeth and slinked back. “We should just go, Yume. I heard that the man is crazy, so we can’t charge him for assault. We’ll sort him out later. There’s no need for us to get into it with him now. Let’s not give anybody somet
“I had the rainbow snow cone, Godfather. It was delicious. Do you want one too?” Brenda asked innocently. Her hands were still over her eyes. “Hear that? My goddaughter wants a rainbow snow cone.” Kaze stepped on the hundred-dollar bill and pushed it toward Juno. “Buy one. You can leave after you get the ice cream.” Juno’s head was still spinning from the slap. The crowd thought Juno would make Kaze pay. To their surprise, Juno grabbed the hundred-dollar bill and staggered to his feet. The onlookers gave way to him. They believed Kaze knew how to hit where it hurt the most. Kaze made Juno buy ice cream for the child. The young man must feel too proud to carry out Kaze’s request. It was true that Juno found it beneath him to do so. He intended to walk out and never come back.“If you slip away, I’ll give each of your friends a slap, and that includes Yume,” reading his thoughts, Kaze said indifferently. Yume and the others gritted their teeth and glared at Kaz
Samus spoke aloud. His voice drew the attention of the guests in the venue hall. The guests made strange faces. The former Quints’ collective pleas to change their last name had made them the biggest joke in Lilyrose. Speaking of which, some criticized the former Quints forgetting their roots while others sneered at them in disdain. The former Quints were losing their backbone. They represented the Vinlands in attending to the guests. As a show of respect, the attendees did not say a word about the last name change. However, Samus grilled Darcy’s family in public for not changing their last name. “How could you turn your back on your family lineage, Vinland? How could you be proud of that?“You should thank Darcy. At least, she will carry on the bloodline.” Amid the crowd, an individual taunted the former Quints to stand up for Darcy’s family. The individual used Samus’ new last name to tick him off. “Hahaha!” The air broke out in laughter. Samus and the ot
“Hahaha!” The guests laughed out loud. They had not realized before, but Darcy’s loser husband had quite the mouth on him. The attendees who had witnessed the earlier drama outside the hotel were not surprised, though. “Shut up, Kaze!”“I’m going to kill you!” Samus and his family went ballistic. “Don’t waste your breath on him.” A sneer was heard. Logan swaggered his way in and glared at Darcy’s family. “You can get out since you won’t change your last name. Don’t bother attending the party. “Call the security, Samus. Throw them out,” he said in a chilling voice. “That’s right. Kick them out! They are getting themselves humiliated in public.” The rest of the former Quint family members resented Darcy, so they started clamoring. Darcy’s family turned pale with rage. The former Quints had no compassion for them at all. Although Kaze did not care about some party, he did not want to see his wife’s family kicked out. He said curtly, “The Vinlands formally inv
Following the security officer’s reaction, the attendees in the hall looked at Kaze in surprise.They had no idea what was with Darcy’s dimwit husband. Kaze managed to instill fear in the terrifying security personnel. “You must think highly of yourself, Kaze. They recognize you because you’re the village idiot of Lilyrose,” Samus sneered. He waved his arm. “Don’t just stand there. I’m ordering you as a member of the Vinland family to beat the idiot up and throw him out. Don’t forget to toss his wife’s family out too.” “Are you taking orders from him?” Kaze looked at the security officers with a pretentious smile. “Mr. Lee, um…” The security guards were dumbfounded. Cold sweat rolled off their foreheads. The attendees stared at Kaze in horror. Even Darcy was in disbelief. Samus was issuing a command in the name of the Vinlands. However, these security personnel dared not carry out his order.They had to wonder if Kaze possessed something more fearsome than the
