“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
“Darcy, it’s not that Master Hudson didn’t keep his promise. It’s just that no one knows what would happen to the victims of the Twin Ghosts.” “You know Dan Niners and Gold Tooth, right? I watched when the Twin Ghosts broke all their bones. Hahaha!” Darcy’s face turned pale as she continued to listen. ‘Kaze, please be alright!’ She prayed hard in her heart. She was prepared to see Kaze lose all his limbs or even be crippled like Dan or Gold Tooth. All she hoped for was that he would stay alive. The group finally reached the fifth floor. When they arrived at the room, they saw Zenny, unconscious in his own puddle of blood. “This guy is hurt too? It seems like a fight broke out here. Stupid idiot.” Dexter and the others were surprised to see Zenny hurt and unconscious but were not overly bothered. Kaze obviously challenged the Twin Ghosts and they assumed he would not end well. “There are two bodies on the floor! It must be Kaze and the driver he brought!” Jake had
“Miru Scarlet! How dare you! Not even your godfather dares to disrespect me!” Hudson shouted angrily. Miru quickly snatched the contracts from his hand and tore them to pieces. She scoffed. “The Twin Ghosts are two piles of dead meat now and you are still raising your voice? Others are afraid of the Vinland family, but not me! I’ll get my men here and fuck you up!” She pulled her phone out. Dexter, Jake, and the others were horrified upon hearing Miru. “Master Hudson, we must leave now! We can’t stay here in Lilyrose anymore!” “We’ll get her in the future!” Hudson was frightened as well. He feigned reluctance as the others dragged him downstairs. Soon, the cars at the entrance drove off. “That old dog is good at running.” Miru put her phone down and scoffed. She was just trying to scare off Hudson. Hudson was a Vinland. If she called her men on him and hurt him, it would mean declaring war with the Vinland family. “Strange. Who beat up the Twin Ghosts? Kaze? Doesn
With Kaze’s order, Albert left the hospital lightning fast and brought his men to chase after Hudson. At the same time, Hudson’s car had gone up the freeway, away from Lilyrose. “We lost a lot in Lilyrose. I really don’t want to just go back to Chrysant on a bitter note!” Dexter, Jake, and the others were aggrieved. They were confident when they followed Hudson to Lilyrose and did not take the locals seriously. They thought the moment they arrived in Lilyrose, the locals would kneel to them. To their surprise, their children were beaten up and they got slapped in public. More importantly, they had to flee Lilyrose like losers. “It’s all because someone defeated the Twin Ghosts. I wonder who in Lilyrose is that powerful?” They suspected Kaze at first but quickly denied it. Kaze might be strong but he was no match for the Twin Ghosts. No matter how they pondered, they could not think of anyone who could defeat the Twin Ghosts. Hudson was the most depressed of them
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
