“Come on. I’ll give you a tour of the military base. I made a formal request, so you won’t be arrested over it.” Draco patted Sky’s head. He warmed up to Sky because of the latter’s relationship with Kaze. Sky was now a younger brother to Draco. “Thank you, Draco, for saving us.” Sky was relieved, but a wave of anxiety quickly washed over him. “What about Kaze, Draco? Did he commit a serious offense?” “I doubt he has done anything,” Draco replied peevishly. Rose asked, “Why did the disciplinary commission approach him?” “They just want to get an understanding of the situation,” Draco murmured randomly. “So Kaze blew the whistle on all of us. That’s why we were arrested!” Landon’s eyes bulged. Draco glared at him. “Show some respect to Kaze or I’ll hit you.” Out of the three kids, Landon was the most annoying. Landon turned pale and kept to himself. Sky said, “Oh, I get it. Kaze reported those people from affluent families to get them arrested, so they can’
“I say when it’s over. I’m going to make the bastard who hit me pay.” “I am Zephyr Garland, the son of the South River State’s governor. You have a lot to answer for after beating me up,” one of the young men clamored. Despite his upbringing in politics, Zephyr made a threat. He was equally punished like the rest of the group. As a known gentleman in the South River State, he had never been so insulted. Kaze said indifferently, “Zephyr, should I call your dad to pick you up?” “Who do you think you are? My dad is too busy to take time out of his day to deal with this. I demand an apology from Draco now.” Zephyr looked at Kaze in disdain. Like Draco, Loid was a regional commander. Loid ran the state while Draco oversaw the military. They were not in the same administration. It was challenging to ascertain who held the higher rank.“Did you take part in the selection, Hank?” Harry yelled toward the office door. He saw Hank entering the disciplinary commission bure
“Kaze, you are a vile man!” “Doomsday is ahead of you, Kaze. The Duncans will make you pay. It’s not over between us either. It’s too late to grovel and beg for forgiveness now.” Even though Hank was a rival in love, the group of wealthy youngsters felt bad for his predicament. They hated Kaze’s guts.“Your families can come after me with everything they have.” Kaze shook his head, unbothered to waste his time on these idiots. He waved his arm at the member of the disciplinary commission. “Put them behind bars since they don’t want to leave. They can go, but their fathers have to bail them out.” He then took off. “Who do you think you are, Kaze? I’ll be released when my dad makes the call to Draco.” Zephyr was livid. The others were the same. They believed Kaze was humiliating them intentionally. With that, the group made up their mind to get even with him once they got out. Kaze left the disciplinary commission bureau and met up with Draco who was taking Sky, Ro
Kaze looked at the group who were pushing Shangrila Group employees out. He said curtly, “Tell these people to stop and leave right now.” “You’re a loser, Kaze. Who are you to tell me to leave?” Winston grimaced. Smack!Kaze hit him to the ground. “Is the slap good enough for you?” “You!”Winston cried out in pain and glared at Kaze with his hand over his cheek. In the end, he got scared. “Come on!” He got up from the ground and beckoned to his men to leave. Before leaving, he turned around and put his finger up Kaze’s nose. “Just you wait. Once these young masters are back, I’ll crush you.” “Get lost,” Kaze responded. Winston scoffed resentfully and stormed off. Relieved, Winnie said, “We wanted to review the financial statements, but Winston won’t let us. I suspect we might have a problem.” “It’s okay. Go on and make the necessary reviews. The lapdog will be back.” Kaze knew Winston would not back down, but the latter was no threat. Winnie nodded and l
Winston arrived outside the conference room and saw Kaze sitting on the chair in the middle with his legs crossed. He was smoking and fiddling with his phone away. Thud! Winston kicked the door and shouted, “Kaze, the father of the young masters are here. You better get up and grovel now.” He glared at Kaze cockily. Winston failed to notice the discoloration of the group’s faces in the back. Lifting his chin, Kaze looked over. “Oh, I see,” Kaze responded nonchalantly before turning his focus back on his phone. “The nerve of you, Kaze.” Winston’s eyes bulged. “The governor is here, and so are the heads of many prominent families. Why are you still seated—” “Can you shut up?” Suddenly, Loid’s chilling voice came from the back. Winston shuddered. He wanted to slap himself. It was not Winston’s place to talk in the governor’s presence. “I’m sorry, Governor…” He scooted to the side and apologized embarrassedly. Without looking at Winston, Loid took strides to K
Kaze did not want unnecessary trouble. Now that the group knew of his residence in Lilyrose, they might pop by for a visit. When his cover was nearly blown, the Quints could sell a seat for millions. The likelihood of the group approaching to befriend Kaze was high. Hence, Kaze put the word out there. “Don’t worry, Sir. Mum’s the word,” Loid said with a nod. Shocked, the other family heads swore up and down that they would breathe a word about him. Thump! Once Loid and his party were gone, Winston fell to his knees. He sprawled across the floor and crawled to Kaze on his knees. “I was wrong, Kaze. I should’ve known better. I was a snob. I deserved to be punished,” Winston wailed while slapping his own face. The loud commotion startled Winnie and the others. They came over to the office and caught sight of the unbelievable scene. Shangrila Group employees, Winnie included, widened their eyes. What was going on? A minute ago, Winston was cocky and vowed to crush
Out of the dozen young masters, Harry was most persistent in pursuing Yume. He was most earnest and eager to seek justice for Yume in Lilyrose. Knowing how Harry felt, Yume took Harry’s affection for granted. She never minced her words in Harry’s presence. Once the call connected, she grilled him gruesomely. Her group of suitors left Lilyrose without informing her. “I have a family emergency. I need to get home quickly, Yume.” Harry was in the car, on his way back to Takeno City. Yume was not having it. “What can be more important than standing up for me and finishing Kaze off?” “I really do have an emergency, Yume. A word of advice—you should stay away from the Go… Kaze.” Harry gave her the heads-up. Now that Harry knew who Kaze was, there was no chance Yume could get even with him. “What’s the meaning of this, Harry? Kaze slapped me right in front of you! I can’t believe you would take his side,” Yume shrieked angrily. Harry uttered, “Don’t say that about him. H
“I want the bastard’s wife to kneel and grovel before me,” Yume said coldly as rage consumed her. Even Lyn and the others shuddered in fear. They had never seen Yume hold such a huge grudge against an individual. “Yume, Darcy’s the chairwoman of two major corporations. I heard that your father values her talent. He wants her to embrace the Vinlands and take care of your family business in the future. Aren’t you afraid that you might tick your father off?” Juno said worriedly. Although they were friends with Yume, Hudson appeared intimidating to them. Even their fathers trembled in the presence of Hudson. “My dad’s just lying to her.” Yume scoffed and revealed the truth. “My dad wants to trick Darcy into changing her last name. Once she becomes a Vinland, she would have to hand over her assets, and we will gain control over her.” Juno and the others felt chills down their spines. Hudson was long known for his scheming, but Yume’s minions were witnessing it for the fi
