“I don’t care who you are. I just know that I saved your daughter from the human trafficker,” Kaze said coldly. Brenda was kidnapped and nearly crushed in a stampede. He saved Brenda, yet Zenny did not bother to find the truth and accused him of being a human trafficker. The young man even tried to slap him. The mother and daughter were frightened. They stopped crying. Brenda looked at Zenny with a hint of fright. She said meekly, “Zenny, why did you try to slap Kaze? He is a good person! He bought a lollipop for me!” “Shut up, you little girl!” Zenny shouted and made her cry. “Zenny, why did you shout at Brenda?!” Winne hugged her daughter to console her. Zenny was irritated by Brenda's crying. In addition to Kaze's slap, he was furious. No one had ever slapped him, only the other way around. “You human trafficker! You are dead for slapping me! You have no idea how powerful I am!” Zenny pointed at Kaze and shouted his lungs out. Kaze scoffed. “We are in front of
Two police officers approached Kaze to arrest him. The mere thought of Kaze as a human trafficker repulsed them. They wanted nothing but to teach him a lesson, so they exchanged a tacit gaze before they coordinated attacks against Kaze, aiming for his abdomen and legs. Kaze saw through their little tricks at first glance. His eyes narrowed. Before their attacks could reach him, he twisted his body in a strange way and evaded the punch and kick.The officers ended up hitting each other with their leg and fist.Smack! Thump! Two heavy thumps later, the two officers fell to the ground. ‘Why did you punch me?’‘Why did you kick me?!’They got up and glared at each other. “Useless!” Tony grunted angrily. He knew his subordinates enough to see through their thoughts and did not expect them to fail horribly in front of a crowd. How embarrassing! He waved angrily and said, “Take him in!” “Captain Lambda, are you sure you want to arrest me?” Kaze asked coldly. Tony shout
The crowd heard the office and all gasped in awe. Everyone turned to Kaze instinctively. The alleged human trafficker claimed he knew the chief of police and even called to request a meeting. In less than a minute, Chief Braders’ order came. Tony was less surprised than the others. Since it was an order from his boss, he pulled his phone out and made the call. “Tony, is Master Lee at your station? How did you get involved with him?!” As soon as the call got through, Don’s furious roars came through. Tony could even hear a hint of fear in his voice. Master Lee? Tony did not even relate it to Kaze. He did not even know Kaze’s name, let alone the family name. Brenda had been calling his name but her voice was muffled by all the crying and no one would take the girl seriously. Aggrieved, he said, “Chief, we didn’t get any Master Lee involved…” “You piece of shit! Master Lee is already at your station and you had no clue? Stay there! I’m coming over!” Don hung up the
Don’s furious and thunderous shout frightened Tony and the others to their cores. Don was known for his ruthless fist of justice, showing no mercy to criminals, which earned him the moniker “The Grim Reaper of Crime”.Everyone was silenced by Don’s wrath. Some even started shaking. Even the arrogant Zenny stepped back and lowered his head. “C-Chief Braders, I am so sorry about this. My men are still searching for Master Lee…” Tony went up to Don attentively. “He is the Master Lee that you are searching for! Tony Lambda, how audacious can you be to arrest Master Lee?!” Don wished he could slap some sense into Tony. He ignored the foolish captain for now and went straight up to Kaze. The officers trying to arrest Kaze were stunned. Don shouted at them, “Why are you two still here with the handcuffs? You want to arrest me as well?” The officers immediately stepped away. “I am so sorry about this, Master Lee. I failed to educate my men.” Don’s voice was trembling whe
Thump! Tony knelt down in front of Kaze immediately. "Master Lee! I am so sorry! I was blind! I shouldn't have accused you! Please tell Chief Braders not to dismiss me! Please!" The captain cried like a baby and even tried to hold Kaze’s leg. He revealed his true nature once he was relieved of his duty. Kaze kicked him away. He showed no mercy to people like Tony. If he was a normal citizen and Tony had accused him of being a human trafficker without even investigating, he would be locked up, probably for life. “What an embarrassment!” Don grunted at Tony and then looked at Kaze. “Master Lee, I want to retrieve the dash cam footage from your car and show it to the people that you have been wrongly accused of human trafficking.” When Don arrived, he heard the crowd calling Kaze a human trafficker and wanted him locked away. Kaze was a hero who protected the country, yet he was being wrongly accused. He must be disheartened. Don hoped that this misunderstanding woul
Zenny got anxious. He looked down on Kaze’s Audi A4 earlier and now because of his BMW X6, he was questioned by the chief of police. “Chief Braders, please let me go. I’m from the…” Before he could finish, Don stopped him with his hand. “I am not your direct superior but I cannot allow this to slip. I will talk to Director Gamuda from the Traffic Department. You will be dismissed soon!” Zenny turned pale. “Yeah! That’s more like it!” The crowd cheered and applauded. After the crowd dispersed, Don went over to Kaze again to apologize. “Forget it, it’s not a big deal.” Kaze waved his hand and set the matter to rest. Don breathed a sigh of relief. “I’ll be going now.” Kaze headed to his car just when Winnie finally caught up to him with Brenda. Zenny was sulking in grievance further away. He dared not stop Winnie anymore. “Kaze, Mommy wants me to thank you.” Brenda hugged Kaze’s leg to show affection. “I have to thank you. When everyone was pointing fingers
“Bye-bye, Kaze!” said Brenda as she waved at the man.“Bye, Brenda.” Kaze then said to Winnie, “Can I have the home address of Brenda’s grandparents? I’ll visit them if I have the time.” James was his only friend before he joined the army. Now that James had passed away and his wife remarried, he should at least take care of his friend’s daughter and family. Winnie gave him the address before reluctantly going into Zenny’s car with Brenda. Kaze drove back to the construction site and waited for Darcy. They went home together after all the work was done for the day. “Darcy, do you remember James White from university? Brenda is his daughter. What a coincidence.” Kaze talked about James on the way back but he skipped the part where he was accused as a human trafficker. He usually kept bitter news from Darcy. He knew Darcy was pressured by the Passion Fragrance District’s project, so he did not want to increase her burden. “Yeah! He came back to Lilyrose two years ago and
Darcy’s emotion calmed down when they reached home. When Kaze went to park the car in the garage, he called Snow to have her investigate James' mysterious death. James died right after he visited the fake Kaze in the psychiatric ward. Something must have happened! Meanwhile, at La Familia Club, where Dan Niner usually hung out, he got wind of what happened to Manny and the rest of his men. “What? Manny and the others were arrested by Tiger Fangs?” Dan collapsed onto the couch when he received the news. He was in shock. Manny and fifty of his men were sent to cause problems at Passion Fragrance District but after a while, he lost contact with all of them. He later ordered more men to find out what happened and the news shook him—Manny and the others were arrested by Tiger Fangs! It reminded him of Gold Tooth’s encounter with the militia. Could it be that Kaze was capable of commanding the Tiger Fangs? Dan was frightened. No matter how fierce of a gangster he was, h
After Leah left the Northborn Hotel, she felt relaxed. It might be inconvenient to walk on the street with the dress but running with it made her feel like a princess running from an arranged marriage, like those of a fairytale. The dress might be heavy but it felt like an armor for her, granting her unparalleled confidence to achieve the freedom that she dreamt of. “Are you really that happy? You’ve been chuckling since you came out. Someone ruined your birthday party and you don’t seem like you care.” Kaze looked at Leah with a hint of surprise. Not everyone could share the girl’s optimism. “I’m just happy because you are here with me,” she blurted out without much thought. She had been searching for Kaze but could not even catch a glimpse of his figure. Yet whenever she was in trouble, he would appear like the God of War descended from heaven, saving her from distress. “What a silly girl. Come on, let’s go find something to eat,” Kaze said with a helpless smile. The
“It’s just a minor injury. I wish I could do more.” Jet averted his gaze in embarrassment. He did not know how to answer the question. “You should get it checked out by a medical professional. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease. “You’ve done a lot, and I’m grateful. A lot has happened today, so please excuse me.” Katie felt exhausted as she remembered her daughter being taken away. Her daughter turned out to be rather defiant. “Don’t worry too much about it. The Duncans will provide you with an explanation.” Jet consoled Katie. Jet’s intention was to use Katie’s access to the Viper’s Den’s resources. He needed to find out who was out to get him. Now it appeared that Katie would not be of help to him. Plus, Leah ran away with another man. Katie had her hands full. “There’s no telling whether the Duncans will come after me, but it’s no big deal. This will be over before we know it. You should see a doctor.” Katie could feel her head splitting. Things went beyond her ex
“I don’t care about the party. It’s just for show anyway.” Leah was not keen on the social event. She would not attend the party if not for her pushy mother. Besides, Leah doubted anyone was there to give their best wishes. She could not stand the fake setting. Katie was furious. She planned the event elaborately so that her daughter would shine. However, Leah did not appreciate her efforts. “What did you say? I threw the party for you. Now that it’s ruined, I’ll organize another event for you.” Katie felt like she was losing her daughter. “So what? I won’t like it anyway.” Leah refused to engage with her mother. Fighting with Katie was meaningless. “Don’t get on my nerves. Get right here right now.” Fear washed over Katie, making her feel uneasy. She did not like this side of her daughter. “I can’t stand this place.” Leah looked up at Kaze. Kaze nodded understandingly before snapping a cold look at Perry. “I hope you will learn your lesson this time. You b
“You won’t get me in trouble.” Kaze was not going to let Perry get away with being a jerk. “No. You can’t fight him.” Leah looked at her mother in a fluster, and the latter looked on callously as if it was none of her business. It struck Leah that her mother could care less. Things would not end well for Kaze after crossing the Duncans, and Leah could not let that happen. “I knew it. You’re a crowd. You’re too scared to hurt me,” Perry said while withdrawing his arm. He was sure that Kaze would not attack him. Perry beamed smugly at Leah. “You’re coming with me. I’ll take you out for dinner. It’s your birthday, and I’ll make it up to you and throw you a bigger birthday bash.” Perry looked at Leah with an ingratiating smile, thinking that he could erase what had taken place. “Dream on. I’m not going anywhere with you.” Leah still wanted to cut ties with Perry. “That’s not your choice to make.” Since Perry could walk all over these people without any pushback,
Katie doubted Kaze would do anything drastic in public. Still, she was nervous. The whole had nothing to do with her if Kaze upset the Duncans. However, the Duncans could go after her since Perry was hurt on her watch. Katie approved of her daughter dating Perry before because of the Duncans’ soaring business. She had no issues with the subsequent breakup because Perry crossed some boundaries.Leah no longer had feelings for Perry too, so it did not matter to Katie that they split. However, Katie would be held responsible if Perry were harmed on her turf. Katie taunted Kaze to rile him off. Kaze was just a penniless nobody. He would face the Duncans’ rage by stepping on their toes. That was the ideal situation for Katie. Katie would sort out one of her daughter’s suitors while removing herself from the situation. Most importantly, Katie’s authority was threatened as Kaze’s presence relinquished her control over Leah. Leah was smart enough to pick up on that point
“You might want to think before you act. We are only acting in your best interest. You don’t have to do this to show you’re a man.” Katie looked at Kaze in disdain. As far as she knew, Kaze was trying to make Leah fall in love with him. He was just a broke nobody. The penniless man with no connections was not good enough for Katie’s daughter. Katie hoped Kaze would attack Perry. The Duncans’ rage would shift to Kaze. “You don’t get to tell me what to do.” Kaze tightened his grip, and Perry howled in agony. “Let me go! Do you honestly want to die? You’ll be sorry when my family goes after you. “You’ll regret this, you broke-ass idiot!” Perry slammed Kaze with insults, still delusional that he had the upper hand. He believed Kaze had nothing to lean on. Katie’s attitude determined who Kaze was. “What is your family going to do about it?” Kaze was curious. Leah grabbed the sleeve of Kaze’s shirt. “He is a real psycho. Once he has his eye on you, it’s hard for
“Without his timely intervention, Perry would’ve abducted me.” It was not as if Perry would do anything if he took Leah away. However, the thought of it still sent shivers down Leah’s spine. She would not want to experience it again. Most importantly, Katie did nothing. She did not even stop him. It went to show that Leah’s mother did not love her. Leah came to Kaze’s defense. Katie said the most awful thing. Jet did not have a grasp of the situation. After the brutal beating, he was trying to keep up with his appearance. Against all odds, someone showed up and turned the tide. The point to note was that the person looked unfamiliar. Jet had never seen him before. Jet remained the observer. Due to his injuries, his legs nearly gave him. He pulled a chair to sit down. Katie seemed to know the person, and she looked contemptuous. Jet was quick to pick up on certain things, but he could not read this person. “What’s going to happen if I hurt Perry?” Kaze scoffe
“What are you doing? Stop!” While talking, Arthur kicked a person down. The other brawlers tried to fight back, but the Viper’s Den members quickly restrained them. Despite feeling grateful to Kaze, Katie still looked down on him. When the Viper’s Den members arrived, Katie assumed that they were there because of her. Katie was the CEO of the Northborn Group. The Viper’s Den must be heeding her call for sure. “You shouldn’t have done this, Perry.” Katie stepped in to take her daughter away. However, Perry would not let go of Leah. “I won’t break up with her.” Perry was relentless. He was not giving up just yet. Cutting to the chase, Kaze grabbed Perry’s wrist. “I guess you haven’t learned anything.” Kaze’s aloof voice boomed. Perry could taste death. Leah seized the opportunity to escape and stood next to Kaze. She nervously looked around, only finding solace when her eyes fell on Kaze. Arthur was there for the drama. However, he quickly got down to busi
“Stop.”Kaze’s presence turned heads. Leah beamed when the hero of her dreams showed up. Though scared at first, Leah was reassured by having Kaze there. “Save me, Kaze!” Leah trusted Kaze unconditionally. Perry knew Kaze. By some force in the universe, they met again. However, Perry had nothing to fear as he brought along a strong crew. He could get back at Kaze. “Here I was, wondering where to find you. There you are.” Perry held Leah close to him and restrained her before snapping a callous look at Kaze.“I said, you can let go of her now.” Kaze narrowed his eyes at Perry. There was no way Kaze would let Perry take Leah away. Katie stood in the distance. She panicked over her daughter’s abduction, but there was nothing she could do to stop it. She wished someone would intervene. Alas, Katie sneered when somebody actually came to the rescue. She knew Kaze, and Katie did not think highly of him. Nevertheless, Katie would not get in Kaze’s way. Leah’s saf
