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
Soon, Hudson, Jake, and the others were dragged out of the car and pushed to the ground. They finally knew who the man was. The man was Thedeus Rich, the son of Dane Rich. Thedeus squatted. He waved his knife in front of Hudson’s eyes. “Thedeus, I have been your father’s friend for many years! I didn’t get him killed!” Hudson explained as he was being pressed to the ground by Thedeus’ men. “Nonsense!” Thedeus bellowed, “Before my father died, he texted my uncle and told him to find you for revenge.” “Thedeus, it’s not like that!” Hudson was horrified. He shouted, “Someone is trying to sow discord! I did give your father the idea of extorting money from Darcy but the one who killed your father and his men is Lefteria Group!” Thump! Thedeus punched Hudson in the face, knocking his teeth out. “You used my father and you said like it’s not your fault.” Thedeus’ eyes gleamed coldly. He said, “But you are right. Someone is trying to sow discord. If that’s the case, I’ll
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
Aloysius entered the room. He was in a sorry state with a bandage on his head. “Mr. Lyfe can’t make it today, sir.” “Didn’t he say he was coming?” Jet asked without a second thought. “Mr. Lyfe’s son is apparently pursuing Leah.“Katie is planning to throw her daughter a birthday party here.” It was old news. The Frosts had always received an invitation to the celebration. “Katie sure put a lot of thought into the party. She must be trying to reach out to more powerful people.” Jet saw through Katie’s little plan. “What do we do now, sir? These people are saying they can’t make it now.” Aloysius had long understood that he would lose friends when he lost power. However, things had not progressed to that state yet. Yet, Jet’s previous business partners ignored him. “The Frosts are still in power. Where are they getting their intel from?” Jet could not put up with the humiliation. “What do we do now, sir?” Aloysius did not expect these people to be so disrespect
Tens of thousands in assets were lost as every second passed. Jet, as powerful as he was, could not let that happen. “Look into any prominent figures who have come to Butterworth lately.” Driven by fury, Jet had no qualms about attacking his people. Jet would compensate him with money anyway. Aloysius was used to the treatment. He kept his mouth shut and cleared up the mess before taking off. Jet’s nerves were on edge. After all, he had never encountered such a situation before. It was a mystery as to who would resent him so much as to take action. After much thought, Jet gave his previous business partners a call. He either could not get through to them or was transferred to their assistants. As it turned out, he could not reach anyone. Jet realized that he may have upset the wrong person. Otherwise, this would not happen in the first place. “That’s strange. I’ve been staying in Butterworth. I doubt I have upset anyone.” Jet just could not figure it out.
“Just lay all the bad news on me.” Jet started getting some ideas, seeing that the situation was rather unique. “The other important business dealings are halted indefinitely. I can’t get hold of the higher-ups.” Something did not add up, but Aloysius could not figure it out. This was the reason why he had to see Jet right away. “Have you investigated? Who is behind this?” It was clear to Jet that someone was out to get him, and the person targeted his business ventures. “We have run some checks. It’s a peculiar situation. It looks like someone is pushing this forward, but we can’t figure out who this person is.” Aloysius had been with the company for a long time. He knew a lot of people. Yet, he had never run into a case like this before. Despite the investigation, Aloysius could not find anything. “What’s the situation like?” Jet asked, holding back his rage. It was strange, indeed. However, there had to be some sort of trace. Who would attack the Frosts, th
Kaze watched as the senior citizens took off. The place was quiet as usual, and many things in the unit were left uncollected. “Mr. Lee, does this arrangement work?” Arthur awaited Kaze’s orders. “It will do for now.” After being out for the day, Kaze had seen some stuff. Business was all about making money, but some lines should not be crossed. As long as things remained within reason, there would not be scrutiny or blame. It was astounding the lengths Jet would go to. “The area will be demolished after a while. I want all of the Frosts’ projects on hold. Don’t approve any of them.” One word from Kaze could shake the very foundation of the Frosts’ business. “Alright. My team is on it. “But the Frosts will ask questions and find out who is behind this.” Arthur looked at Kaze worriedly. “They can’t find anything.” No one would know who Kaze was without his permission. It probably never crossed Jet’s mind that Snow had a powerful friend. Otherwise, he woul
Kaze was confused. Surely, the authorities would not disregard human lives and demolish the place by force. “Well, we tried to relocate them, but they refused our services. If they are still not on board, they will be sent to the retirement home tonight.” That was all Pax knew. The retirement home was just another place for the senior citizens to await death. “Is there nothing else you can do? So you signed the contract without thinking about the consequences? Karma will get back at you.” Pax’s shamelessness shocked Arthur. Pax mentioned that he would put the demolition on hold. It had not been long, and now the rights to the land were handed over. “It’s out of my hands. Jet went to my superiors to seal the deal. We are not allowed to intervene. “We had been figuring out ways to reach reconciliation for these senior citizens, but Jet was determined to make them pay.” It was the best Pax could do. He was just an employee, working to make a living. He did not have a say
“I want to see the person in charge of the demolition project now.” It was not a matter of time before the area was bulldozed, but Kaze hoped to delay it. Generally, it would take a large amount of capital to launch a project. Any delay would cause massive losses. Jet had several projects that had been put on hold, and it was a heavy blow to him. If Jet could not fix things quickly enough, all his money tied to the projects would be gone. He would be forced to ditch some projects to cut his losses. “I’ll get him here right now.” Arthur went out to make phone calls. He believed Kaze did the right thing as the senior citizens had nowhere to turn to. The senior citizens could only survive with some help. “Thank you, young man. Why are you helping us?” The senior citizens were old, but they could tell that Kaze genuinely wanted them to be okay. “I don’t think it’s right to bully you.” Kaze looked at the senior citizens earnestly, feeling sorry for them. Jet lack
