“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
“Get away from me!” Winnie cried as loud as she could and tried to resist. “Godfather! Aaaaah!” Brenda sobbed louder as fear consumed her. Neither of their cries could soften the hearts of those two monsters. Quite the opposite, their distressed cry aroused them. They giggled as they approached the mother and daughter. “You two are dead!” Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a bang. The loud bang frightened Zenny. He felt like his soul was scared out of his body. However, to Winnie, it was the horns of the cavalry arriving. “Kaze!” she cried. “Kaze? Kaze Lee?” The Twin Ghosts paused and turned around stiffly, staring at Kaze and Albert with their creepy eyes. Dusk grinned and said, “He’s here.” Dawn widened his eyes and said, “Master Hudson said we must torture him, so don’t kill him just yet.” Dusk widened his grin. “Why don’t we break every bone in his body? I like to listen to people scream,” he said ferociously. Winnie was horrified when she hea
“Aaagh! Fuck!” Dusk cried in pain on the ground. His ferocity was replaced by fear that everyone shared when hurt. “Dusk!” Dawn shouted angrily, his eyes bloodshot. The two of them relied on their fists and ferocity to reign in the underworld and kill all who got in their way. Yet Dusk did not even last a hit in front of Albert and was crippled. It was more terrible than killing him off. Dawn’s heart was bleeding. For the first time in his life, he felt fear and it was from Albert. “It’s your turn now.” Albert pointed at him. The tables had turned. The predator became the prey. Dawn clenched his teeth and said, “Wait, I’m sorry. We were wrong! Please let us go and we assure you this will be over! We won’t come after you anymore!” His ferocity was completely gone and was replaced by a calm and sane look. “You brothers aren’t as crazy as rumored. It seems like you are just pretending to satisfy that sick fetish of yours.” Albert strode over to Dawn and said
“Hahaha! Darcy must have found out that her husband is in your hands, so she’s calling to beg for mercy!” “That bitch caused Lyn to be disfigured! When she’s here later, I’ll make her kneel before us!” Dexter and the others laughed loudly as if they had gotten their revenge. “Very well. I want to meet her as well. Tell Darcy to come here,” Hudson said to his man. His frosty eyes looked ambitious. His target was never Kaze but the companies that Darcy owned. Now, he was one step closer to achieving his original goal. “Winnie Souffle is in my hand, so Shangrila Group is mine as well. So are Quartet Group and Sky Ocean Corporation. Not bad.” Even with his usual calm disposition, he could not help but be delighted by the outcome. “Granduncle Hudson.” Darcy came to Wuthering Pavilion with Miru, who wore a heavy look on her face. She originally did not want to take the risk because the Twin Ghosts traumatized her. However, since her friend decided to risk it all to save K
Snow felt bad about Kaze going to Butterworth solely to help her, so she could not just stand idly by. She wanted to help when her presence was needed. “That won’t be necessary. There’s nothing you can do here.” Kaze believed things were progressing smoothly so Snow’s presence here was not needed. In fact, if Snow came back to Butterworth, Jet would surely be alarmed, which would lead to the exposure of Kaze’s plans. Snow was slightly disappointed. She really wanted to help Kaze. Kaze headed to Butterworth because of her. She already blamed herself for not being by his side. Now that she was rejected, she felt terrible. “Chairman Lee, if not because of me, you wouldn’t be in this mess,” she said with a hint of regret and sorrow. Snow stood by the window in a brightly lit room, enjoying a moment of peace, while Kaze was running around tirelessly for her and her family. “Your priority now is to take care of your mother. When your mother has fully recovered, you can bring
“I understand.” Arthur took notes of everything Kaze said and started to plan out the arrangements in his mind. He was more than happy to see Jet suffer a great loss. Jet had always been acting like a king in Butterworth. If they could pull him down from the throne, many would be glad to see it happen. A tyrant who sat high on the throne would never care about the peasants; the peasants did not like the tyrant as well. “Don’t rush it. We have a lot of time.” Kaze was in no hurry. He believed they could take more time to prepare. Acquiring the projects from Jet’s hand was considered a step in progress as well. He took a sip of his drink and then looked at Arthur. “You look tired. I bet you haven’t been sleeping lately. Why not go get some rest? Your dark circles are heavy.” Kaze did not want Arthur to neglect his health to help him, so he gave a piece of reminder. “It’s my honor to help you, Mr. Lee. Besides, I am getting a lot for myself lately.” Arthur’s income
“I can tell he’s running out of patience. His handsome face looked a little tired recently.” Arthur had been carrying out Kaze’s orders and he occasionally met Jet. It was just that Jet never took Arthur seriously. Even if they met face to face, Jet did not have any idea who he was. Kaze chuckled at Arthur’s words. Jet never showed any respect to people below him. Kaze would never let him off easily. He took the documents on the table to have a look and found several interesting projects. Had he not interrupted Jet's businesses, once the projects started, Jet and the Frosts would earn a fortune. “This attraction is quite fun. I played it for a while the other day and it’s quite interesting,” Kaze said. “After the funding for this project got halted, their manager is at a bind. They tried to secure more funding and investment. They know this project is going to make money but time is not on their side, which caused many parties to drop off,” Arthur commented after havi
Kaze continued chewing on his watermelon while listening to Arthur’s update. “It’s interesting. Jet is like a God here. If he’s interested in any project, he gets involved and makes a fortune out of it. “Slowly, people gathered around him and started to trust him. This isn’t anything worth noting but he does resort to dirty tricks to snatch projects at times.” Arthur chuckled as he continued. The more arrogant Jet had been, the more pathetic he looked now. “He got what he deserved. I guess he’s simply unlucky.” Kaze found it amusing. It was also the outcome that he expected. He had been making moves with a clear objective in mind, not merely out of revenge against Jet. “He is. The project owners who were forced to sell their work to him at a lower price are now celebrating.” Arthur had seen a fair share of things recently and he understood why the Frosts became who they were now. He looked down at them. For a family to grow, it must take careful steps one by one,
As the CEO of the Northborn Group, Katie was extremely busy. Despite her busy schedule, she still had to take care of her daughter’s birthday party. Katie could have assigned the task to her assistant but worrying that a slight mistake might embarrass herself, she decided to take matters into her own hands. “Why is the girl so stubborn? I just slapped her in the face and she’s not answering my calls,” she said, her tone upset. She never knew her daughter could be so stubborn. She believed she did the right thing because she wanted Leah to be better, yet the girl did not appreciate her gesture and insisted on blaming her. “Leah is a smart girl, but this is too much. Regardless, she can be mad all she wants. As long as she’s still within our turf, things won’t spiral out of control.” Joey then came back with a cup of coffee and put it in front of her boss. She said softly, “If she’s a smart girl, she would know what to do and not just make you mad every time.” Katie sta
While Kaze was staying in the hotel, he kept having a feeling that he was being watched. It made him uncomfortable. His worry resulted in extra caution but he had never met anyone unfamiliar at the penthouse level. He did not want to have excessive contact with the hotel staff and tried his very best to stay away from Katie. He was not afraid of the woman but he simply did not want to get himself in trouble. The Northborn Hotel was the biggest hotel in Butterworth. It was the house of many, probably almost all, important banquets and events in its grand ballroom. Being able to host a banquet at the grand ballroom was considered a prestigious honor. Although the reservation process was tedious and the fee was exorbitant, many people still wanted to host their events or banquets at the hotel. The Northborn Hotel was also decorated lavishly, equipped with many convenient infrastructures. Other than banquets and events, companies would also rent the place for business meeti
Aloysius came to have lunch and he picked up a piece of information during his meal. He wondered if it was real. When he first heard it, he thought it was ridiculous, but on second thought, it somehow made sense. Katie usually looked like a caring but overprotective mother but who would know for sure that she would not do something so outrageous? Once a person was driven by benefits and gains, sentiments and emotions ought to be sacrificed. “She’s ruthless but only a woman with her personality is fit to be the CEO of the Northborn Group,” Jet said with an approving nod. When a person discarded all sentiments and emotions, he or she would be invincible. “Are we attending the party?” “Of course we are. I still have to find the mastermind.” Jet refused to just step back. Someone ought to pay for halting his business ventures. “I understand. I’ll prepare a gift.” Aloysius nodded and turned around to leave the room. Jet remained in his seat, sipping on his glass of win
Jet did not look worried. His companions were confused. Anyone else in Jet’s position would panic. Each day the business ventures were on hold, and he faced continuous losses.However, Jet remained composed. It proved that Jet was competent to face problems. Despite the obstacles, Jet was able to overcome it in no time. “I see. Do tell if you need any help. We are happy to lend a hand.” “Yeah. I’m sure the problems will go away soon enough.” The group uttered, not taking the incident to heart. Seeing that the group was gullible, Jet was relieved. After dinner, Jet sent his drunk guests away. Jet grimaced. “None of them know anything. Those who do won’t see me.” Jet was curious as to who he had upset to deserve the attack. There was still wiggle room in regard to his business ventures, and Jet could still afford the wait. Nevertheless, it was frustrating to be targeted. “Is there anything you need, sir?” Aloysius asked. “Keep an eye on these people. Check
“We are happy to have dinner with you, but it’s only been a few days since we last saw you.” Though confused, the group took their seats. Jet invited them out to see if they knew anything about the mastermind behind the halted projects. However, the group behaved no differently from before. “Friends should always stay connected. I’m looking to take on a few business ventures. I was wondering if any of you are interested.” Jet was not in the mood to start new business dealings. He was simply trying to extract information from the group. Jet’s business ventures were stalled, and if the group had an inkling, they would not do business with him.If they were in the dark, they would jump at the opportunity to close the deal. They could not possibly say no, especially since they had been begging for Jet to throw a lifeline. “What kind of business are we talking about?” “Yeah. Can we be a part of it?” “I’ve been wanting to do business with you, Jet. It’s a pity we never
