A hard disk and the password was handed over to Kaze. Kaze then tossed the hard disk to Draco. He then smiled at Dane and asked, “Still feeling grateful for Hudson Vinland?” “I wish I could rip him apart with my own hands,” Dane said ferociously. If he did not listen to Hudson and fall into the trap, he would not cross paths with Kaze, let alone kneeling at him and begging for his life. His nephew would still be alive. “Then shouldn’t you inform your brother and tell him to avenge his son?” Kaze said with a subtle grin. “Yes, I will inform my brother and tell him to avenge me and his son!” Dane then immediately texted his brother. However, right after he tapped “send”, his expression froze. He looked at Kaze with a blank look. “Y-You are going to kill me?” Dane finally understood the meaning of Kaze’s words. Why would Kaze ask him to inform his brother to avenge him and his nephew? If Kaze had the thought of sparing him, then he would not have to go through al
“Get out of my face!” Miru glared at the weirdo who wore sunglasses at night. She saw the weirdo before. The man always hung out with Kaze and did not seem to have a proper job. “Woman, don’t you use that tone in my face. If not for Albert, I would have slapped you.” Draco then signaled Kaze. “Boss, get in.” “I think you are quite suitable for her, you can tame her.” “Come on, Boss. Aside from the temper, she’s arrogant and disrespectful.” The words that came out from the window as the car drove off left Miru infuriated. She almost told her men to chase after them and ram their car off the road. Meanwhile, at the hospital’s orthopedic department, Hudson visited Alfred for his broken leg at night. “Kaze, that little bastard! He slapped me and broke my leg in front of so many people. I’m not young anymore yet he did not hold back at all. Master Hudson, you have to do me justice!” Alfred started crying the moment he saw Hudson. Hudson’s expression turned grim. He
“Go to Chrysant Prison and get the Twin Ghosts,” Hudson said to his man emotionlessly. Both Alfred and the man were stunned by Hudson’s order. “What? Master Hudson, you are getting the Twin Ghosts involved? If yes, there will be a bloodbath,” Alfred said in shock. He looked scared as if he thought of something scary. “Lefteria Group has decided to oppose us by protecting Darcy and her family, so let there be blood.” Hudson stood with his hands behind his back and then dismissed his man with a wave. “Go.” “Yes, Sir.” The man nodded and left the ward for Chrysant City. Inside Chrysant Prison, there was an independent cell with two prisoners. The walls of the cell barely had any paint left. On its surface were many holes. The larger ones looked like they had been punched while the smaller ones, usually four to five in a cluster, looked like someone had poked their fingers into the concrete wall. There was also blood on the walls, both fresh and dried. The two pri
With the order from Hudson, invites were sent out. Soon, all the important figures of Lilyrose received the invites. “Hudson Vinland invites us to have tea at Wuthering Pavilion tomorrow. What is he planning?” At Bay Club, Gold Tooth and Dan Niner received the invites and they were not sure what to do with it. They worked for Kaze for a while and seized all the limelight for some time, but ever since they failed their missions, Kaze switched his attention to Miru. Since then, the two of them had been nothing but miserable. Gold Tooth was forced to retire because of one word from Kaze. He called Dan out to have a drink before they received the invites. “I don’t care what they wanted to do but we have to go to show respect,” Dan said bitterly. “The top three families are taken down already and Hudson Vinland is inviting us to tea? This is sketchy.” The three family heads also received the invitation and decided to talk about it at a cafe. They were still frightened
Hudson’s invitation was sent to Shangrila Group. This one was unlike the others because the content only had one sentence in it—Get over here, apologize! The person who delivered the invitation specifically said it was for Kaze. When the invitation was handed to Winnie, she was frightened. The conflict between Kaze and the Vinlands started because of her and Brenda. Hudson did all those things just because he wanted to get back to Kaze at the tea session. “Ms. Souffle, should we deliver this invitation to the chairman?” Sophie asked. “No need. I’ll take his place. We don’t need to let the chairman know about this.” Winnie bit her lip and made up her mind. Back at Horizon Mirror Mansion, after Darcy received a phone call, she went to Kaze with a concerned look. “Kaze, I got a call from my friend saying that the Vinlands sent invitations to many influential figures in Lilyrose, inviting them over for tea. I wonder if it’s about us.” From the moment Kaze beat up Yume
“I invited everyone here for tea. Please make yourself at home!” Hudson entered the room with a grand disposition and signaled everyone to take their seats. “Master Hudson, Melrose’s kingpin, Steve and his son, were murdered last night by the Twin Ghosts. Is the Vinland family involved?” asked a family head of a first-tier family. The question felt out of line but he could not control his curiosity. The others looked at Hudson curiously. Hudson smiled and said, “I know them.” The answer Hudson provided was profound and it struck the hearts of everyone present. Hudson cherished his reputation more than anything, so there was no way he would admit it. However, his claim to know them explained a lot. A number of guests reacted strangely. Lefteria Group wiped out Dallas Moneylender in Lilyrose and Hudson responded by killing Steve and Sully in Melrose. After Steve stepped down, he supported Miru in taking over his empire in Melrose. Just as Lefteria Group started to
Winnie’s face turned pale. She looked down in silence as guilt started to consume her. “And my son, Juno! The Star Corporation is one of the biggest companies in Chrysant, yet Kaze Lee tortured my son! This is unacceptable!” Jake’s square face looked fierce and strict. The other chairmen of big companies in Chrysant City stepped up and berated Winnie as their sons and daughters were tortured by Kaze. Of course, they would want justice for their children. “I heard you and your daughter are the cause of all this, am I right?” Dexter asked coldly. “It is.” Winnie’s face was as white as a sheet. Dexter bellowed, “On your knees, and apologize to us!” Thump! Winnie knelt without a second thought. Kaze was too kind to her and her family. Even if she had to give her life away, she swore to bear all the criticism for Kaze. “Shangrila Group has been opposing the Vinlands openly, yet its CEO is kneeling before us?” Dexter strutted up to Winnie. Slap! He slapped Winni
The voice came from a phone via loudspeaker. It was so abrupt that it caught everyone’s ears. Everyone was shocked by the bold words. Who was that? Who called Dexter Bluenid and the others a piece of garbage? Each of them ran their respective companies and since they were valued by the Vinlands, the companies were by no means small. Even the Vikroms and Logmans dared not challenge them. Yet someone among the guests called them a piece of garbage openly. “Who said that?! Show yourself!” Dexter was furious as he stared in the direction where the voice came from. The guests in the same direction averted his furious gaze, trying to avoid a potential conflict with the Bluenids. There was one person who did not look away. It was a young lady and to everyone’s surprise, she stood up. It was Sophie. “You? Who are you to challenge me?” Dexter shouted angrily. Sophie was trembling as she held the phone up. “Don’t be afraid. Get close and let them hear my voice.” Kaz
Joan, a Quint member in Riverbank, walked in the front. She glared at Rhys and yelled, “Bastard! Didn’t you say that you were in Westeros attending some film festival? Why are you still in Riverbank?” Rhys looked at his girlfriend, who put him on a tight leash lately, and said awkwardly, “Well, the film festival is over. I arrived home early. I just got back.” He and Joan had been dating for six months. They were not serious, though. There were a lot more women for Rhys to explore in the world. He did not want to be held down by a ball and chain. However, his father, Boris, felt that it was time for Rhys to get married and have kids. Since Joan came from a prestigious family, Rhys got together with her. Joan had always been the one to act submissive in his presence. She would turn a blind eye to his romantic pursuits and even cover for him. Rhys understood well that Joan would be marrying up. However, Joan had been getting full of herself lately. It was not her fi
“Do you know who Mr. Road is? His father is Boris Road, one of Riverbank’s four underground kingpins. “If you don’t want trouble, you better delete the video now!” The group turned white and deleted the video. They might not understand the threat that came with Great Road Group. However, Boris, one of Riverbank’s four underground kingpins, had been a menace for twenty years. No one would want to get on his bad side. Many shook their heads and sighed. No one could save Sasha now. It was a shame that the innocent and pretty girl ran into Rhys today. They knew what would happen to Sasha at the hands of Rhys. No one dared to speak up against Rhys’ indecent behavior in broad daylight. “Sasha is your name? It’s beautiful. You can use it as your stage name.” Rhys did not care what others thought about him. As Sasha shivered in fear, Rhys stood proud at his decision to slap the sales representative. He gave Sasha’s cheek a squeeze and said with a lewd smile, “Trust me. Get
“I’m sorry, mister, but I’m not interested in becoming a star.” Sasha backed away and said firmly but politely, “I’m waiting for a friend. Please leave me alone.” While talking, she looked outside for Kaze. Rhys was surprised that Sasha would turn him down without hesitation. He said with a grimace, “You’re not interested? What are you interested in? “Why are you saying no to money?” Sasha was scared as the guy would not leave her alone. She replied, “I just want to finish school. Now isn’t the time to think about money.” She took out her phone to call Kaze. “Aren’t you rude?” Rhys commented with a fake smile. He snatched Sasha’s phone, and the latter panicked and uttered in fright, “G-Give that back!” “I offered you a shortcut in life, and you should’ve taken it.” Rhys released his grip, and the phone dropped to the floor. “Crack!” He stomped on the phone and said grimacingly, “Don’t act like you’re above all, gold digger. What’s a poor college girl doing at
Out of the two young sidekicks, one sported a soft gray hair while the other had a buzz cut and a shaved undercut along his temple. The pair checked Sasha out, their eyes reflecting greed. Since their leader made a request, the pair played nice. Since their leader took a fancy to the girl, the two sidekicks no longer stood a chance. Maybe when their leader had enough, they would have a go with the girl too. “Are you… Talking to me?” Taken aback, Sasha looked at the leader. The man was in his thirties. Despite his good looks, his heavy eyebags and pale face were pretty off-putting. Sasha had no idea that these were symptoms of bad habits, alcoholism, overindulgence, and lack of exercise. Still, the man gave off a disgusting and fearful vibe to Sasha. The man smiled at Sasha pretentiously, lewdly, and maliciously. The customers stepped away, not wanting to get on the man’s nerves. “I won’t hit on anyone else but you.” The man thought he made a pretty badass comm
Kaze said with a smile, “Alright. A few thousand, it is.” He was relieved to see Sasha staying true to herself despite knowing that he was rich. Kaze wanted to put Sasha in something nice to save her from being mocked. At the same time, he did not want her to acquire something too high of value without putting in some kind of effort. It would not be a good thing for Sasha. The present situation was perfect. Ruby grimaced and looked at the sales representative with a sneer. She said, “I hope you’re not in on this too.“Hundreds of millions in transactions? Him?” Ruby may act like an adult, but her experience was limited to the academic world. She would not imagine that kind of money. The sales representative cocked her head back and said curtly, “Ma’am, the problem isn’t in the lack of knowing, but ignorance coupled with arrogance is. “Don’t question things you don’t understand.” The sales representative could care less about her manners now. Her manager warned
“His act was so convincing. He nearly got me fooled.” “Tsk! So we have a repeat offender in our hands.” Ruby and Lance felt the sweet taste of vengeance. They were this close to believing Kaze was wealthy. The female customers in the crowd looked at Kaze in disdain. Kaze sure went all out to tell the sales representative to put the bill on his card when his bank account was empty. At least Lance was honest. He could not make the payment because his card was frozen. “Now you know, girl. There are a lot of men out there, pretending they are made of money to scam young, innocent girls like you.” “Don’t be so nice to the bastard. Just tell him to get lost.” Two kind customers persuaded Sasha. Sasha waved her arms with a red face. “No, Kaze isn’t putting on a show. I didn’t want this gown anyway.” She could not bring herself to put on a two-hundred-thousand-dollar gown. Ruby scoffed. “Oh, stop defending Kaze. He’s just a poser.“Haha! Only a hick like you would fall
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
