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
Yume screamed and cursed Kaze loudly. She dropped her frosty image and cried like a wretched hag. Even Zephyr and the others frowned at her sudden change of behavior. They understood that she was furious and agitated but the words that came out of her mouth were entirely different from her usual personality. “Finally, she stripped her disguise.” Kaze scoffed. “Do you know why I keep slapping you? I want your admirers to see your true nature.” He slapped her two more times before he released Yume. “Finally, ten slaps.” Kaze tapped his hands and then looked at Harry and the others, who were still infuriated. “You people want me to slap myself ten times, so I slapped Yume ten times. Happy now?” Harry, Micheal, Zephyr, and the others reacted grimly. Yume was on the floor, screaming like a witch. “Kaze Lee! You fuck! Your wife’s grandfather and his family had changed their names to Vinland. I will torture them every single day and let them know what it’s like being a V
Everyone waited for Hank to punch Kaze but he left in a hurry after a phone call. No one understood what kind of selection was more important than avenging Yume. “Selection? I heard the Lilyrose Strategic Department is selecting soldiers to be sent to foreign battlefields. All the ace soldiers from different strategic departments wanted to join, but there were only so many slots.” “My cousin who served the Spec Ops Team for many years didn’t even get a slot, but Hank got it?!” Harry looked at Hank in surprise. Hank said proudly without looking back, “How hard is it to get a slot in the preliminaries? Your cousin is useless.” Harry grunted but he did not argue. Hank served the main Spec Ops Team of the South River Strategic Department. He served directly under the highest command. Those who were given a slot in the preliminaries were all ace soldiers. Hank was able to secure his position among the elites and he even became a team leader, not just a common soldier. He
Hank looked proud. He was confident about the preliminaries. “Are you sure you can get through the preliminaries?” Kaze asked with a soft grin. Judging from the young masters’ words, there seemed to be a lot of misunderstanding regarding the preliminaries. They thought getting a slot would mean a bright future. He decided to correct their assumptions, which he needed an example. Coincidentally, Hank turned out to be the best choice to make an example out of. “I am the ace in our team and with my family’s support, I have the power and the background. If not me, who else?” Hank was confident. His family had everything laid out for him. As long as he performed well, he could easily pass the preliminaries. As for the next round, his family would also invest a lot to make sure he got in. “Great. Then you will soon understand that reality is harsh.” Kaze ignored him and called Draco directly. “The preliminaries haven't started, right? I’m coming to have a look.” “Boss,
Harry and the others were surprised. “You are still being stubborn at times like this? We don’t want to waste time on you now. We’ll come after you after the preliminaries are over. We will surely crush you by today!” They then called their drivers to pick them up. Rose was upset by the young masters’ frivolous attitude. “Stop being arrogant! You people are laughing at Kaze because he can’t go? I’ll make it happen!” Rose pulled her phone out and called her father. She said she wanted to attend the preliminaries but she did not mention Kaze. “You want to go have a look? Sure, I’ll ask around.” Nelson was punished together with his direct superior for drinking on duty, but he was released for good behavior. Soon, he secured a way to get Rose in. “Thank you, Dad!” Rose then waved her phone at Harry. “I can also attend the preliminaries with just one call. What’s so great about that?” “Hmph. Quite capable, little girl.” The young masters were embarrassed but they
“That depends on what he did wrong.” Nelson said confidently, “If it’s a heavy crime, even if he’s not from the military, he would be punished. If it’s something light, he would still be lectured. “Besides, the idiot is arrogant. I bet he’s going to be taught a lesson, or even beaten up. The discipline division isn’t the friendliest. Even if he’s a stubborn one, they have a way to crack him.” Rose’s face turned pale when she heard her father. “Kaze, don’t argue with them! Just cooperate!” Sky was worried as well. “Hahaha! He’s taken away by the discipline division the moment he arrived? Did he just turn himself in?” “Do you think he’ll call the soldiers from the discipline division useless? If he did, they would beat the shit out of him!” “Kaze, the idiot! He made my day!” Harry and the others continued to laugh at him. “Since when did we allow public viewing for the soldiers’ selection? This is not by the rules. Find out who allowed it and deal with it.” Kaze was
The young masters were taken down from the platform that they were standing on. Harry tried to resist but was taken down as well. Agitated and flushed, he shouted, “What are you doing? Show some respect! I am Harry Lokeman of the Lokeman family!” Slap! The soldier slapped him in the face for being irritating and uncooperative. “I don’t care what family you are from. This is a restricted zone and no civilians are allowed in here… What are you holding? Give it to me!” Harry’s binoculars were confiscated. “Military binoculars? You’re a spy?!” The soldiers immediately surrounded Harry and the young masters to search them. “I’m not a spy! I just want to see what the God of War looks like! Don’t accuse me!” Harry shouted. He was called a spy just because he held a pair of binoculars. “Trying to see the God of War’s true face is spy activity. The God of War’s schedule is classified, not even we know about it, yet you are here with military binoculars. You are not a spy? I
Hank did not want the God of War to see him, yet he already stood out from the others. Kaze saw him lowering his head among the other uplifted and energetic soldiers. It was difficult not to notice him. Hank was in uniform, so Kaze did not recognize him at first glance. He frowned and asked, “Soldier, why is your head down? Look up!” Countless gazes landed on Hank instantly. Hank wanted to die on the spot to escape the attention. He nervously squeezed the words out of his clenched teeth, saying, “S-Sir! G-God of War! I-I am afraid…” He answered instinctively without realizing he violated a taboo in the army. Kaze looked rather angry. “What is there to be afraid of? Look up!” His voice was as loud as the rumbling thunder. Hank was so frightened that he fell on his butt, and even his hat fell off. He looked at Kaze blankly. Kaze finally saw Hank’s face. He smiled and then wore a frosty look. “Am I that scary?” “I…” Hank could not spell a full word. Kaze grun
