Kaze’s voice was soft. However, the volume stood out as the public was walking out in silence. Many customers looked at Kaze in surprise. They wondered who he was. Kaze had the guts to tell Yume to get out of Lilyrose because her money was no good here. “Watch what you say, bro. It’s Yume of the Vinland family. You can tell from these bodyguards that she doesn’t mess around.” “Yeah. Just put up with it. We are just commoners. We can’t confront them, but we can walk away from them.” “Hurry. Just take your child and leave.”Many tried to persuade Kaze. Although Kaze voiced their grievance, they were more worried about Kaze getting into it with Yume’s security detail. Commoners had no business with the likes of Yume. Kaze smiled at them. “It’s okay. Just stay at the mall. Go back to shopping and eating.” He then turned to the furious hired protection. “Tell Yume to get lost. Here isn’t the place for her to flaunt her wealth.” “Who are you? How dare you tell Ms. Vinl
“Of course it happened,” the hired security officer on the ground shouted. He released his hand over his cheek to reveal a handprint. Startled, the security detail realized that there was more to Kaze. “Take him down!” At the wave of the security officer’s arm, his companions in the back charged toward Kaze. Smack! Smack! Smack! Following several blows, the hired protection cried out in agony. They collapsed to the ground, one by one, over each other. “Oof!” The leader of the security officers saw everything unfold. It was as if Kaze had eyes on the back of his head. He smacked all approaching security officers to the ground like they were flies. One of Kaze’s hands was on the claw machine the whole time. Kaze even won a little dinosaur plushie. It was absurd. The leader of the bodyguards was not the only one with his jaw dropped. The nearby customers were in shock too. “Wow! You’re getting better at it, Godfather!”Brenda was overjoyed. “I can do mag
“Mr. Chairman, the owner of Golden Edge is Winston Carter, the chairman of Landley Corporation, but he owes his success to the top three families.“Golden Edge’s profits have been healthy. After the fall of the top three families, Winston has been looking for a buyer. He’s looking for an ally to fall back on. “The Lees and the Vinlands are interested in taking over, but he’s hesitant, afraid to cross either one.” Snow was a highly capable assistant. Without needing time to investigate, she briefed Kaze on the situation with Golden Edge. “Snow, get Mathias to contact Winston. Tell him to sell the mall to me, and I’ll be his fallback.” Kaze then hung up. Since the Vinlands and the Lees had their eye on Golden Edge, Kaze wanted to snatch the mall away from them. “What do you mean by fallback? Even God can’t save you now.” The leader of the hired protection had no idea what Kaze had done. He said arrogantly, “Kneel now to welcome Ms. Vinland.” Kaze turned and glanced at
“Let’s go!” Yume waved her hand and led the group of ferocious men to the entrance. However, they were stopped by the security guards before they could enter. A suited middle-aged man said politely, “Are you Ms. Yume Vinland? I’m sorry, but you are not allowed inside Golden Edge.” “Who the hell are you? Why are you in my way?!” Yume was furious. The man knew her yet he stopped her from going inside. The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes but he maintained his manners. “I am the chairman of Landley Corporation and I have some shares in Golden Edge.” Yume shouted, “I spent millions to book this place tonight, including Golden Edge. Why are you stopping me here?” The other customers were startled by the commotion. The young mistress of the Vinlands spent millions to reserve the entire Golden Edge for the night yet she was held outside the entrance. “We can refund the money back to you,” Winston said. “Do you think I care about the money? I am losing face here! Winst
“Winston Carter, how dare you make such a false announcement just to get back at me? I’ll do whatever I can to get revenge!” Yume shouted at Winston. Winston laughed. He then looked at the other customers and said, “Sir, Madam, I’m sorry to disturb you with this little commotion. Golden Edge is now open and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. We will never let anyone buy out the mall again. “Our new boss has decided to give back to our loyal patrons by providing three consecutive days of free meals and beverages at all our restaurants, starting from tonight!” The free discounts were only limited to the restaurants in the mall. Not even Kaze dared to give free discounts at branded outlets or clothing shops, or else the entire mall would be emptied in three days. “Wow! The new boss of the mall is generous!” “Yeah! Unlike someone who spent millions just to show off, the new boss spent three billion to embarrass her!” “It’s karma. It’s better to keep a low profil
Kaze was the new boss of Golden Edge? He spent three billion to purchase the mall? Yume and the others were stunned. “Impossible,” they said en masse. Yume did not believe it at all. “Impossible. How can it be him? He’s the retarded husband of Darcy!” “It’s really him. I saw the original boss of Golden Edge, Winston Carter, bowing at him. It was he who ordered the security guards to confiscate our phones and…” “And what?!” Yume glared at him. “And I quote ‘Yume Vinland is a stupid woman who knows nothing but flaunts her wealth. If she wants to wait for me, then let her wait for three hours. Let the people of Lilyrose see her ugly personality, even though she is of the most beautiful woman in Chrysant.’” Yume and her friends were infuriated. They waited like clowns outside Golden Edge for three hours, allowing other shoppers to laugh at them, while Kaze was long gone from the parking lot. However, they still refused to believe it was Kaze who spent three billion to p
“No need for unnecessary conflict.” Hudson signaled the butler and said, “Our priority is to get Darcy to change her name to Vinland, and obtain the companies under her name. As for Shangrila Group, someone will deal with them soon.” Kaze’s threats at the banquet did not deter him at all. No one would care how loud a toothless dog barked. “An ant dares to look up to the sky?” Hudson scoffed. Crank! Suddenly, loud noises of things being broken came from the living room. Hudson went out to have a look and saw his daughter throwing things around. He frowned. “Yume, I heard Kaze slapped you. I’ll avenge you.” Yume did not tell him about her being slapped. He only found out about it from the butler after the banquet. He was irritated by it as well. Not only did Darcy’s useless husband humiliate him, but he also slapped his daughter. Hudson had decided to teach the useless garbage a lesson. “Father, that idiot didn’t just slap me! He did a lot worse to me! I wish I
“That’s not my call to make,” Kaze said as he shook his head. Sky improved a lot recently. He grew from a cowardly weakling to a young man who aspired to join the army. His ultimate goal was to fight on the foreign battlefield, but Agnes would never let him go. It was extremely dangerous on the foreign battlefield and she would not want anything to happen to her dear son. “Sky, breakfast is ready!” Agnes came out of the house to call Sky for breakfast. She saw Draco at the lakeside and she was surprised. “What are you doing here?! Sky has been bugging me about joining the army lately. Don’t tell me it’s you who instigates him!” She had no good impression of Draco because the man often came to train Sky. Due to his influence, her good son hit someone the other day and caused trouble for the family. She told the Tiger Fangs Militia to not let Draco in but the man still came. She had no idea how he slipped past the soldiers. “Mrs. Quint, can you invite me in for a bo
With a darkened expression, Ruby commanded Lance, “Don’t you have a lot of wealthy friends? Just get two hundred thousand from them. Call them and ask them for help!” Lance gradually lost his patience. “They are not the friends who would lend me money. I should be grateful that they don’t come to me for money, and you are asking me to go to them for help? “It’s just a dress. Why are we buying it today? Let’s just do a rain check. When my father unfreezes my credit card, I’ll buy you something more expensive!” He wanted to take Ruby away but the woman was being stubborn. Anger rushed to her head as she shook Lance’s hand off. She shouted, “You useless piece of shit, you can’t even afford a two-hundred-grand dress? Don’t touch me! Get out of my face!” Lance got mad too. “If you have the fucking money, buy it yourself! I’m not your husband! You are begging me to buy it but you’re raising your voice?!” “You?!” Ruby wanted to slap some sense into Lance but the other customers
Ruby was confident in her body. Her physique allowed her to wear all kinds of beautiful dresses flawlessly, so she knew she would fit in the gown without even trying. However, the gown had a pure and innocent vibe, which did not fit her demeanor and temperament. The different style did not bother her because she was carried away by the price tag; the more expensive it was, the more it satisfied her vanity. “Miss, this is the most expensive gown in our store. It was created by a famous designer overseas. It cost two hundred thousand,” said the storekeeper. “Two hundred thousand for a gown?! Even the celebrities aren’t wearing something this expensive!” “Yeah. Maybe the top celebrities can afford it but a small one could never!” “Forget about it. We won’t be able to afford it, but it’s nice to have a look.” “I can’t afford it either. Different people, different lives.” When the price was revealed, the other customers gasped in astonishment, followed by regret and jealousy
Ruby thought that after mocking Sasha and Kaze, they would leave the store with a sour look, yet the two of them went to another section to continue shopping. Sasha’s timid figure was a pain in her eyes. In the other section, Kaze asked the storekeeper to do the same as the previous store. “Pick a gown for my sister here. She’s going to wear it to emcee at a party.” To their surprise, Ruby and Lance came after them. “You two poor bastards, get out of the way! Can you even afford the clothes here? Hmph! “You, I want you to pick something for me that is fitting!” The female storekeeper looked troubled. “Miss, this…” “Cut the crap and get on with it!” The storekeeper was instantly defeated by Ruby’s aggressive demeanor. She quickly sized up Ruby’s body and physique and selected a red gown with a deep frontal cutting for her. “Miss, this one might look nice on you.” “Let me have a look.” Ruby took the gown and looked at the price tag. She then tossed it on the floor
“Your little sister? I have not heard of Sasha having a brother. Are you the sugar daddy who’s been feeding her?” Ruby scrutinized Kaze and noticed nothing branded on him, which fueled her contempt for him. “But you don’t look like a rich one, more like a poor loser! What are you two doing here in a luxury store?” Kaze coldly said, “We don’t have to inform you where we are going.” “You don’t have to, but if you are just here window shopping, I would suggest you leave right away. People just don’t seem to know their limits.” Ruby then looked at Sasha, who was afraid, and mocked her, “Some people are just an ugly duckling, not a swan. You can’t just change who you naturally are, not like you can put on a dress and look great. Am I right, Lance?” She curled her arms around Lance’s and spoke in a sweet and flattering tone. Lance was one of the wealthy young men on campus who had been asking her out. Initially, she saw Lance as just another one of her test subjects she could
“Lance,” Sasha said with a nod. She instinctively took another step back, which made the man named Lance frown. Ruby was displeased by how Lance reacted to Sasha, her face ashened. She scrutinized Sasha and said sarcastically, “Sasha, look at you. You’re Cinderella today. I thought you were still that Ugly Duckling back at school. Don’t tell me you’ve found a sugar daddy.”Misunderstood as someone clinging onto a rich man, Sasha’s face instantly blushed. She waved her hands anxiously and said, “No, it’s not like that! It’s nothing like that! My boss from Herbal Spring wants me to get some new clothes for work, so that I’d look better.” Ruby scoffed, “Are you kidding me? The brand that you are wearing might not be to my taste but it costs thousands. There’s no boss who is this kind, spending money on the employee’s outfit. Besides, you are just a part-timer, not a full-time employee. And you are telling me you don’t have a sugar daddy?” Her words fueled Sasha’s anxiety, making
“Kaze, I really don’t need it…” Buying ten thousand bucks worth of clothes was already overwhelming for Sasha. She dared not even spare a glance at the expensive gowns and dresses. “The boss is paying. Come on, let’s go get you something nice.” Kaze already spotted another store specializing in gowns and dresses. He dragged the girl inside without giving her the chance to escape. The store was filled with various designs of dresses and gowns, so fancy that it made the girl’s jaw drop. Even though she looked reluctant due to the price, her eyes showed a hint of delight. Kaze saw the delight in her and simply smiled. No woman could resist wearing beautiful dresses. He knew all women, including Sasha, would be instantly captivated by the beautiful dresses. He brought Sasha shopping for luxury dresses so that she could get used to the extravagant experience. He knew that a girl like Sasha could never conceal her charms under her shyness. Men would flock over to her like
Sasha’s lips moved once more, but Kaze’s gaze remained fierce, so she wisely zipped her mouth. “Not a problem, sir.” The storekeeper knew Kaze was a generous customer, so she nodded happily. Being a storekeeper for a luxurious brand required experience and taste. In less than ten minutes, the storekeeper selected three sets of outfits for Sasha, from top to bottom and outer to inner. “Miss, you try these.” Kaze swiped his card before Sasha had the time to regret or stop him. If the size did not fit, she could change it on the spot. Sasha looked at Kaze helplessly and then reluctantly followed the storekeeper to the changing room. A while later, Sasha came out in a new dress and with a blush on her face. Kaze was slightly surprised, looking at the brand new Sasha in a pure white dress. He had to praise the storekeeper for her sharp sense. The white dress emphasized the girl’s innocence and gentleness. “Miss, you are the first customer in our store to present su
Sasha looked troubled. She said, “The owner is paying? It’s okay! I’m wearing the clothes anyway; I should pay for them. The owner and the others took good care of me while at work, I don’t want to take advantage of them.” Kaze was left speechless. How could a little girl be as stubborn as a mule?“How are you taking advantage of them? I said, the owner wants you to wear beautiful clothes and get more business for them, so that they can earn more money. “You know the other employees actually have an allowance for shopping? Each of them has twenty thousand to buy clothes, but since you are just part-time, and you are new, you only have ten thousand.” Kaze continued to coax the girl. “Ten thousand?!” Sasha was shocked by the number. She shook her head and hands, “No! I don’t need that much! A few hundred is enough!” Ten thousand was enough for her to cover her daily expenses for two years or more. How could she spend all of them on clothes? Kaze chuckled. “Ten thousand i
Twenty minutes later, Sasha came out in fresh clothes. She wore a white T-shirt coupled with a pair of jeans, but the patches on them indicated that they were old clothes. She was holding her phone with a slight embarrassment on her face. “Sasha? What’s the matter?” Kaze asked. “Uh, it’s nothing. I-I have to call my school to inform my teacher.” Sasha then went to the corner to make the phone call. “Sasha, you should really try to be the emcee of the evening party. I always have high hopes for you but you are too shy. You blush whenever you talk to strangers. How are you going to adapt when you go out to work in the future? You should train yourself to speak up more. Try to go on stage.” The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the phone once it was connected. Sasha said shyly, “Ms. Cornell, thank you for your kindness, but I cannot afford to buy a gown. I won’t be joining the party.” “My dear, you should learn to be more open-minded. I said I would prepare the gown
