It was Hudson’s men’s first time seeing such a scary expression on his boss. He said with a shaking voice, “Master Hudson, they are here already. Do you want to see them?” “No. Tell them to go after Gold Tooth and Dan Niners.” Anger had distorted the features on Hudson’s face. He said wickedly, “Kaze will be the last. I will go after the people around him, one by one.” Although he could not get Kaze through legitimate means, he could still send his killers after the idiot. The news of Hudson Investment Firm and Lee Solutions being fined shocked the business world. No one thought it would turn out like this. Kaze sent gifts to the governor and he was fine; the others sent gifts to the governor and they were arrested. What a twist of events. Back in Horizon Mirror Mansion, the Quints were also surprised by the news. “The Lees and the Vinlands are expelled from the city just like that?” Darcy could not believe the news. She plunged into despair when the two familie
“G-Guys, we are all in the business together. Why don’t we sit down, have some beer, and talk…” Gold Tooth forced an ugly smile on his face knowing that he was dealing with the notorious Twin Ghosts of Chrysant. Even his voice was shaking. He tried to stall the Twin Ghosts while figuring out a way to request help from Kaze. Otherwise, Dan and him would surely die at the hands of the Twin Ghosts. His loyal man, King Kong, was just killed before his eyes! “Twin Ghosts, that old fag is just stalling. Don’t fall for it!” A wicked voice came from the door. It was Dexter, Lyn’s father. Jake and the others were also there, all staring at Gold Tooth and Dan. Dexter, Jake, and the others resented Gold Tooth and Dan for slapping them in front of everyone back at Wuthering Pavilion. Gold Tooth’s and Dan’s expressions turned bitter. They should have slapped them to death back at Wuthering Pavilion and this would not happen. “I know he is stalling,” said Dawn, the elder brot
The Twin Ghosts came to Lilyrose with a bunch of gangsters from Chrysant. With the two monsters taking the lead, Gold Tooth and Dan’s territories were all swept. Some of their men escaped to save their own lives, while some turned on Dan and Gold Tooth and sided with the Twin Ghosts instead. In less than one night, the underworld of Lilyrose had completely changed. Lefteria Group already lost the battle with the Twin Ghosts at Melrose and Miru was still recovering. They could not do anything to stop the Twin Ghosts from taking over. With their ferocity and brutality, no one in Lilyrose’s underworld was able to stop them. On the next morning, while Darcy was having breakfast, Miru called her to give her a warning. “Darcy, stay at home and don’t go out for the next two days. Hudson Vinland had lost his mind. He brought the Twin Ghosts here to Lilyrose. Even Dan and Gold Tooth were hospitalized. I think the Twin Ghosts will go after you soon.” “Miru, you have to be careful
“I’ll inform Albert right away.” Draco then called Albert. Then, the heads of the Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families came to visit. The three of them had masks and glasses on to cover their faces. Kaze frowned. “Why are you people looking like you are here to steal stuff?” “Mr. Lee, Chief Commander Lang!” The three of them took off their masks and glasses and bowed respectfully. Bernard said bitterly, “Mr. Lee, the Twin Ghosts came to Lilyrose, and Gold Tooth and Dan were attacked. We are just scared.” Other than Dan, Gold Tooth, and Johnson, they were the ones who sided with Kaze back at Wuthering Pavilion. Now that Gold Tooth and Dan almost got killed and Johnson almost lost his mayor’s position, they were terrified as well. They were afraid that the Twin Ghosts would go after them. Peter sighed and said, “No one knows who is next in line but the three of us would probably suffer. I don’t dare to let my family go out either.” “Yet even at our own house, we a
Kaze was worried about Darcy, so he went home after the hospital visit. Before he left, he asked Professor Whiteman to try his best to help Dan and Gold Tooth. At the same time, Hudson transferred his base of operation to another mansion. The mansion’s developer was from Sunrise City and the boss was close with Hudson. The guards would carefully check every visitor at the entrance and only then Hudson could enjoy peace of mind. As Kaze suspected, Hudson was afraid that Kaze would locate him using the underworld’s connection and then called the police on him. Even though he still looked down on Kaze, he admitted that he had underestimated the idiot. Kaze’s connection in Lilyrose was far wider than expected. He even transferred Yume and Alfred back to Chrysant. “Next would be the Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families,” Hudson said viciously as he sat on the couch. “Master Hudson, we just got news that the Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families had police officers at thei
Zenny resented Kaze. Speaking of Kaze’s name made his expression bitter. Hudson nodded. “Very well, I’ll realize your dream. Do you have any idea how to get Winnie Souffle and her daughter?” Zenny pondered. He might have a way to trick Winnie but Brenda was never close with him. If he asked Winnie to bring Brenda along, Winnie might suspect something. Therefore, he had to go after Brenda first. “Master Hudson, Winnie’s daughter is attending kindergarten at Golden Sun Kindergarten and it’s time for me as a father to pick her up from school,” Zenny said wickedly. Hudson waved and told his men to bring Zenny away. …When Camry went to the kindergarten to pick up his granddaughter, he saw Zenny coming out with the girl. Brenda looked timid, seemingly afraid of Zenny. “Zenny?” Camry was surprised to see Zenny picking up Brenda for the first time. “Camry, I’m here to pick Brenda up. Just leave it to me.” “Oh, okay…” Camry watched as Zenny took Brenda away. On s
“Hmph! Look at you defending him and shit. I know you let him get under your pants and I don’t want his money! He fucked my wife and made me look like a fool! I’ll skin him alive if I have the chance!” Zenny bellowed with the most ferocious look. “Y-You sick bastard! Kaze and I are clean!” “I don’t care whatever he sticks inside you anymore! I want him dead today and before he dies, I’ll make him kneel before me!” Meanwhile, the soldiers escorting Winnie had noticed the commotion inside the car. “Someone is trying to abduct Ms. Souffle. Stop the car!” Just as the soldiers wanted to stop Zenny’s car, several other cars rammed into their car and stopped them on the spot. The doors opened and a group of thugs, armed with metal pipes, came down. Clank! These metal pipes were dragged across the asphalt road, causing irritating clanks. The leader of the group was Kurt Ulanzi. Angered, the soldiers got rid of the thugs in the shortest time possible but the car carrying Win
Being a diligent man, Hudson always preferred to secure an escape plan. He was afraid of his location being exposed, so he did not tell his men to bring Winnie and Brenda to the mansion. “No, Sir.” “Great.” Hudson then called in the Twin Ghosts and gave them the tablet. “You two have done a lot for me and I won’t just ask for your service for free. The mother and daughter here are yours for the night. After that, take care of Kaze Lee for me. I want you to torture him.” The Twin Ghosts were not just merciless killing machines, but they were also psychotic sexual predators. When they went after Steve Lee at Melrose, they raped and tortured Sully’s wife before killing her. The moment they saw Winnie and Brenda, they shrieked excitedly. “Thank you, Master Hudson!” They bowed and then left for Wuthering Pavilion. When they arrived, the driver, who drove Winnie and Brenda earlier, welcomed them. “Where’s the mother and daughter?” Dusk wore a wicked grin on his pale
Snow had already sent men to where the plane was found. If the passengers were taken away, then they must still be nearby. It was difficult to transport an entire plane of passengers to some place far within such a short time. It was a race against time. Snow did not know who would do such a thing. Kaze took a common flight like everyone else, yet it was hijacked. It was strange. The coincidence was uncanny. Snow believed the hijacking happened because of Kaze but she did not know why. “The only explanation is that there’s a traitor among us…” She finally came to an unlikely conclusion after combing through the details. If there were a traitor, it must be within the Viper’s Den. Kaze had laid a low profile for as long as he was in Butterworth. Not many people knew about his identity and those who wanted to make connections with him were because of Snow. It was unlikely that someone would go after him so suddenly unless this person knew his identity and background.
If they were sent to capture Kaze, then they were severely under-numbered. In addition, they allowed Kaze to be alone with the captives, which proved that they were inexperienced. Or maybe they did not know what he had done in the past as the God of War. Kaze believed that the mercenaries were after him but they did not know his true identity. There must have been some miscommunication between them and their employer, which was good news to Kaze. Tiguan and his men were eating. Since they were unable to identify the target, they were forced to bring everyone back. The plane was huge. It would be an easy target for the law enforcement to locate them. Maybe the outside world had caught wind of the hijacking. “Boss, what should we do now? That man seems like he vanished into thin air.” “We got his boarding information but we can’t identify him on the plane.” “Who are we looking for exactly? Why is he so mysterious?” The men were baffled. “We are looking for the righ
“We are almost there. We have to transfer these people as soon as possible. The plane must take off right away. We cannot leave any traces behind.” They must hurry or they would be caught very soon. They held the pilot hostage and forced him to do an abrupt landing. The sudden descent caught everyone off guard, shocking them. A few of the passengers even hit their heads. Many of them did not get the chance to fasten their seat belts. Kaze grabbed Barney and protected his head from hitting the front seat. “Thank you.” Barney looked at Kaze with gratitude and then looked outside. “Where are we? Have we reached?” He was worried that they would be completely trapped. “They are going to transfer us elsewhere.” Kaze had a similar experience before and he knew what the hijackers would do next. “Transfer us? Are they going to transfer us to somewhere secluded and kill us all?” Barney looked horrified as he stared at Kaze. He somehow felt safe beside Kaze. “They sai
With trains, there was still an option to jump out. However, everybody was sitting ducks in a plane. Kaze had always been sensitive when it came to safety. He had a sinking feeling in his gut as if something was about to happen. He turned his head back to observe the plane’s interior. Several passengers stood up in the business class section. Strangely, these people were seated separately. However, they seemed to know each other. They exchanged glances as if searching for something. Finding the whole thing bizarre, Kaze observed them. Those passengers went straight into the air stewardesses’ compartment and disappeared out of Kaze’s sight. Kaze could not shake off the eerie feeling. Something was off. He looked back, and several more rose to their feet. These individuals were young but toned. They likely underwent some form of specialized training. Kaze had a bad feeling. Trouble was brewing, and the plane was likely being hijacked. “Why are you looking around? Is
“I see. What bad timing.” Katie was a little disappointed to learn that Kaze had left, but in a way, she was relieved. She had gotten on Kaze’s nerves, and he could turn around and make things difficult for her. Now that Kaze was gone, Katie got to keep her job. She did not have to fear Kaze’s retaliation. The news caught Leah off guard. “Why did he leave without saying goodbye? I didn’t even thank him yet.” Leah had a hard time digesting the news. She had been waiting for a chance to show her gratitude to Kaze and see him again. He was out of her life before she could do anything about it. “I’m sorry. Chairman Lee’s departure was unplanned.” Snow put on a professional smile, appearing friendly and distant. “Please present the gifts to him for us if you can. We are grateful for Mr. Lee’s help.” Katie was annoyed that Leah could not spend time with Kaze. The bond could help with her career. Kaze’s departure cost Katie an opportunity, but there was no point in dwel
“Now that’s the spirit. You can’t take every matter into your own hands. You’re a leader now. You should put the right people in the right jobs.” Feeling relieved, May nodded. “Where’s the guy? I have been wanting to meet him. I missed the chance when I was unconscious.” May came over right away just to score a chance to see Kaze. Kaze saved her life, but she did not have the chance to thank him in person. “I set the date. We’re seeing him tomorrow afternoon. Let’s freshen up. I’m taking you home to rest.” With a time in place, Snow had to get ready. May nodded. The pair returned to the mansion where they felt at home. Even though it had been a while since their return, nothing had changed. “Did Jet say anything when he stepped down?” May was clueless on the specifics. “He went mad and ran out. I get this uneasy feeling, but I can’t locate him anywhere.” Snow was concerned. Jet, as witty as he was, likely played up his meltdown. It was a shame that Jet got aw
“I have pointed you in a direction. If you still can’t trust your team, you can go to the Viper’s Den.“There’s one thing, though. Don’t rely too heavily on the Viper’s Den, or your company will be left without secrets.” Kaze’s suggestion gave Snow assurance. She considered tapping into the Viper’s Den’s resources. However, Kaze warned her against excessive dependence. “Why did you say that, Chairman Lee? Will the Viper’s Den stab me in the back?” Surely, the Viper’s Den took orders from Kaze. The Viper’s Den would always be an ally so long as Kaze was the branch leader. “I just don’t want you to put too much faith in others. You find loyalty by developing your own team. Those who revere me will never trust you completely.” Kaze analyzed the situation. Snow ate her supper and looked at Kaze in confusion. “You can only count on the people you win over. You can’t trust anyone else, and that includes me.” Kaze would never hurt Snow. However, he hoped that she would fin
“As you said, all is in the past. What’s the point of dwelling on it?” Leah perked up. Such was life, but it took her too long to understand the harsh reality. She guessed things were just not meant to be. “I’ll think about what to get Kaze. Rest well. We’ll visit him in a few days.” Taking the matter seriously, Katie wanted to get gifts ready ahead of time to thank Kaze. “Alright. I’ll see what I can do too. I want to be in touch with the outside world. I don’t care what they have to say. This is not my fault. I won’t blame myself.” Leah wanted her phone back to contact her former friends. Ultimately, she needed to move forward instead of backward. She had to face and fight back the rumors with courage. It was the crucial step to kick trauma in the face. The abduction was kept hush-hush for the most part, but Katie’s frantic search for her daughter at the cocktail party did not go unnoticed. Hearing about the incident, the influential people were keen to find out
“When did Kaze start setting it all up? I get the feeling that everybody played into his hands right from the start, and he had controlled every step of the way.” Leah realized that Kaze was an amazing man. Nothing could go past his eyes. “I don’t know.” Katie feared someone like Kaze. She would not be caught dead near him. Even when grasping the situation, Katie dared not look into Kaze for fear she would be targeted. Katie was careful not to show her face around Kaze. For all she knew, Kaze might get back at her. “But he came to Butterworth alone. We met at the train station, and he helped me out of a bad situation.” Leah felt warm and cozy inside just remembering the events. They did not know each other then. Kaze was kind to help a stranger out. From then on, Kaze could do no wrong in Leah’s eyes. Leah befriended him and found him nice. Her interest in him grew. They also got along well. Her memories of Kaze were sweet. Anyone could hurt her in the world, but
