After the top three families were stripped of their power and status, the respective family heads, who could shake the city up with just a sneeze, retired from the scene. It had just been a few days since then but they looked ten years older. They looked dispirited and less energetic than before. They stood before Kaze with lowered heads and reverence. Kaze looked at them. “The three of you really did it this time. I confiscated all of your assets but you three still hid something from me.” Thump! All three family heads knelt immediately, shuddering in fear. Sky, Rose, and Landon were stunned when they saw them on their knees. Why would the three family heads be so afraid of Kaze? “Mr. Lee, we are terribly sorry! We didn’t mean to keep it from you.” “With previous experience from Quintessential Group and Shangrila Group, all three of us were afraid of our families being wiped out, so we set up an escrow for Golden Edge a year ago.” Quintessential Group was annexed and
“Stop thinking about the luxurious life. If you help me buy Golden Edge, I’ll let you live a normal life. Get up,” Kaze said. The top three families were no longer in power but they were not completely out of the game. Whether they could make a comeback depended on the young ones. “Mr. Lee! Thank you for your kindness and generosity! We will do whatever we can!” The three family heads bowed repeatedly as tears and snot smeared their faces. Compared to their current situation, living a normal life was considered a blessing already. …“Winston, has Kaze started eating?” When Winston came into the meeting room, Harry, who was also eating ice cream, asked about Kaze. All fifteen young masters, Yume, Juno, and her friends who came by later, were having ice creams in an air-conditioned environment whereas Kaze had to finish a refrigerator of ice cream under the harsh sun. They were enjoying themselves while Kaze was suffering. “He’s eating, he’s eating. He wants to come
Harry and the other young masters’ laughter froze. Lyn and Juno’s smiles froze. Yume’s grin froze. Even Winston’s flattering smile froze. They all spent three billion in acquiring Golden Edge, which was considered a huge acquisition that would spark discussions in the investment world. Yet someone laughed at them for crowdfunding. What kind of crowdfunding could get three billion? All of them were upset by what they heard. They turned to the door with furious glares, wondering who had the nerve to challenge them and laugh at them. “Kaze Lee?!” Yume narrowed her eyes fiercely. If not for her admirers, which she had to maintain her image in front of them, she would have jumped on Kaze and bit his face off. “Kaze Lee! How dare you appear in front of us?!” Lyn and Juno were furious as well. “Kaze Lee?” Harry and the others reacted coldly. He then asked Winston, “Hey, you! I thought you said he’s eating ice cream outside. Why is he here?” “Kaze Lee?! How di
Kaze pointed at the rest of the young masters and all of them were silenced. “None of you have the money, but I do. If that doesn’t make all of you useless, what are you?” Kaze then signaled Winnie. “Winnie, sign the contract.” “Sign what contract? I am not selling Golden Edge to you!” Winston finally seized the chance to speak. He stared at Kaze and scoffed. “I have the shares, so I decide who to sell to!” “Kaze, forget about it! The contract has been signed. You are too late!” Lyn scoffed with delight. “Yeah!” Winston took the contract and waved it in front of Kaze. “See this? Ms. Vinland already signed her name on it. The ink is still wet! I’m not selling to you! What can you do about it?” Everyone was amused by Winston’s exaggerated expressions and movements when he teased Kaze, especially considering his large physique. Winston finally felt relief after being ridiculed and disrespected by Kaze earlier. “Let me have a look.” Kaze reached out to the contract.
Harry and the others glared at Kaze. Their cheeks flushed due to excessive anger. Wasted their printing cost? How much could printing the contract cost? Kaze was obviously mocking them! They came from all over the country, and did all those things to snatch Golden Edge away but their efforts fell short in the end. Acquiring Golden Edge and humiliating Shangrila Group, everything became a big fat joke! “You stupid dog! You tried to sell the shares that are not yours? Just you wait!” Harry poked Winston in the shoulder. It was Winston who embarrassed them all in front of Kaze and Yume. “Young Master Harry, no! It’s not like that. I have to deal with the old geezers! Just give me some time, I’ll get my gangster friends to get rid of them!” Winston pointed at the three family heads and shouted, “You three old geezers, just you wait!” Flint, Edward, and Belarus simply scoffed at him. With Kaze on their side, no one would dare to touch them. Kaze laughed when he h
“Slap yourself ten times to entertain Yume first.” “Who do you think you are? How dare you slap Yume?” “Ten slaps is just a game. If we don’t destroy you today, we will be wasting our time to come here.” “If you don’t do it, we will crush you. You know how powerful we are. Each of us can single-handedly crush you.” The young masters threatened Kaze. They came here to avenge Yume and they would not just walk away with just ten slaps from Kaze. Like they said, it would be a waste of their time if they did not destroy Kaze. Sky did not expect the young masters would still target Kaze after he bought Golden Edge. Seeing the ferocious looks and murderous intent on them, Sky’s face turned pale. “You people are simply taking advantage of us because of your family background!” Rose shouted at them as she wiped her tears away. “Even without our family background, we all have a better academic level, capabilities, and influence than him. Either one of us can easily beat him
The young masters reacted grimly when Kaze called them useless. “Yeah, we are taking advantage of you. Either one of us can crush you like an ant. It’s your honor to have us all here to bully you like a boy!” “Slap yourself, don’t talk nonsense! We’ll destroy you today!” Harry and the others continued to mock and looked down on Kaze. Lyn and Juno urged him to stop wasting time. Yume maintained her icy goddess image by staying quiet. “Yume Vinland, do you remember what I said yesterday?” Kaze looked at her and started walking to her. Yume frowned and did not understand his question. “Kaze, stop wasting time. No one can save you now! Slap yourself!” Lyn and Juno continued to urge him. Kaze ignored them and went up to Yume. “I said yesterday that I would slap you in front of your admirers. Have you forgotten about it already?” As he spoke, he grabbed Yume by the collar. “What are you doing?!” Yume shouted in panic. She did not expect Kaze to be so bold. She had
Some of the young masters agreed to let Kaze go, but their eyes were still burning with the flames of rage. It was just a way to stall and trick Kaze to free Yume. The moment Yume was freed, they would jump on him and rip him apart. “Let me go? Won’t come after me?” Kaze scoffed. “How arrogant. Who allowed a bunch of useless trash like you people to speak to me like that?” He slapped Yume again. “You!” The young masters were agitated and scared. They did not expect such stubbornness from Kaze. They already softened their tone and showed signs of a peaceful retreat, yet Kaze slapped Yume again. “Okay! Okay! We were being rude! Stop, and we’ll apologize!” Harry forced a smile on his face and tried his best to express his intention. “Apologize?” Kaze looked askance at him. Micheal said, “What are your terms? Name them.” “You said it.” Kaze grinned. “All of you, go out and stand under the sun for three hours and eat as much ice cream as you can.” “Not going
