“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
“Chief Commander Hiden… No!” Thedeus felt the icy cold gun stuck to his forehead and he cried. His cries did not change Albert’s mind about pulling the trigger. After a while, Thedeus and his men from Dallas Moneylender were all killed. The scene shocked Hudson and the others. Their faces turned pale. No amount of men would be enough against the soldiers with guns. The little excitement Hudson and the others had earlier disappeared instantly. They thought Albert was here to save them but when they learned of his relationship with Miru, they realized they were wrong. Albert came not for Thedeus and Dallas Moneylender. He came for Hudson and the others! Hudson and the others escaped the tiger’s mouth but jumped right into the wolf’s den. Thump! Hudson got down on his knees and cried, “Chief Commander Hiden, I am terribly sorry! I shouldn’t have sent the Twin Ghosts after your cousin! If I knew she was your cousin, I would never have done it! Please don’t kill me!”
Hudson was devastated seeing the stern look on Albert’s face. If he refused to pay, he would be detained for life. With permission, he called back to his family. The moment the call got through, Hudson cried, “Mother…” In the end, the Vinlands paid 1.5 billion and Hudson Investment Firm brought Hudson back. As for Dexter, Jake, and the others, the Vinlands did not have the capacity to take care of them. They were forced to sell off their companies and get loans to buy their own lives. The Vinlands declared their entry to Lilyrose’s market but in just three short days, they were forced to leave. Aside from not receiving any benefits, the famous Hudson Vinland spent two billion to buy his own life to escape the city alive. When the news got out, the entire Lilyrose and even the South River State, were shaken. Everyone was shocked. “What a joke. Hudson Vinland prepared for so long to enter Lilyrose’s market but he became the one who lost his investment firm.” “Lily
“Kaze spoke to my cousin on behalf of me? Then I’ll return the favor and make him the CEO,” Miru said with a mischievous grin. Kaze always spoke to her like her boss, so she wanted to turn the tables and make him work for her. She wanted to make him understand who was the real boss! “The CEO of Hudson Investment Firm is a much better title than Shangrila Group’s driver. At least it won’t embarrass my BFF.” Pranking Kaze was not her main priority. She was trying to make him less embarrassing when he was with Darcy so that others would not laugh at him. Darcy and her family did not need to endure the harassment as well. “What? Miru wanted me to become the CEO of Hudson Investment Firm?” Kaze’s expression turned strange when he heard the news from Darcy. “Is she out of her mind? She wanted me to work for her?” He did not want to burden Darcy or hold any responsibility, so he decided to give the investment firm to Miru, to make her work. Yet Miru turned the tables around
The sneers and gloating looks made Darcy’s family’s hearts sink. Hector got a call half an hour ago and learned that Phoenix had walked free after Kaze called the cops on her. Phoenix wanted Darcy’s family to come to the hospital. Hector thought that Phoenix had fallen ill. Without another word, Hector took Agnes to the hospital. Darcy and Sky had to make time out of their work and school to be there for Phoenix too. The family forgot to bring Kaze along by choice. There was no telling whether Phoenix was ill or angry with Kaze. The last thing they would do was bring Kaze along to make things worse. Outside the ward, Darcy’s family learned through the chatter that Joan, instead of Phoenix, was admitted. Joan’s hospital admission seemed to garner a lot of attention from Phoenix. Oblivious to the situation, Darcy’s family was in a daze. “Has Hector’s family arrived? Tell them to get in here!” Before Darcy’s family could get to the bottom of the matter, Phoenix’s a
Besides, the execution hall enforced the law within the Viper’s Den, putting the division in a superior position within the Viper’s Den West State Branch. The division had the power to decide whether the Viper’s Den member would live or die. The leader of the execution hall, Robin, would oversee the South River State Branch’s new branch chief and branch deputy. Hannah and Collier could not afford to let their guard down. They braced themselves to meet the man. “Marcus? Robin?” Kaze said indifferently, “I keep note of these names. The South River State Branch can’t do anything to the pair, but I am the branch leader.” “You have the power to stop them!” Collier said. Yet, Collier remained hesitant. It was true that Kaze was the Viper’s Den West State Branch leader. The Nether Viper Sword proved it. However, Kaze never officially took office. In other words, the position of the branch leader remained vacant. Collier could not understand Kaze’s delay in declaring his
Conan could sense the calm before the storm over the phone. He stopped joking around and said solemnly, “Of course.” It did not take Conan and Collier long to get to Kaze. Collier took out a stack of Rhys’ photos and said, “I know this guy. He’s Rhys Road, the only son of Boris, Riverbank’s underground kingpin. “His father bankrolled him to start a business in entertainment. He doesn’t get involved in the company operations, but he loves scouting talents to trick women. He’s worse than the man I was.” At least, Collier was aware of the type of man he used to be. Still, Kaze was not amused. Collier kept it strictly business and said somberly, “He often hangs around schools and around the mall to scout beautiful women. He has slept with many women, promising them the world.“He would be forceful with those who didn’t fall for his scheme. He would isolate them or drag them to somewhere secluded and take compromising videos of them. “Dozens of women fell victim to him over t
Joan shuddered and backed away. She said with a dreadful look, “What do you want, Kaze?” “Smack!” Kaze slapped Joan before removing his jacket to shield Sasha’s bruises. He picked her up and walked out of the store. It was not over yet. Rhys and Joan would pay heavily for what they had done. However, Sasha had gone through a lot today, so Kaze needed to take her away. Sasha needed the hospital now. As Kaze whisked Sasha away, Joan held her cheek and shouted furiously, “You’re a bastard, Kaze! How dare you hit me and my boyfriend! I’m telling on you!” Joan sure did not know when to stop. She got close to Kaze and spread her arms, preventing him from leaving. “Crack!” Keeping a blank face, Kaze fractured her arm and flung her aside. He even stomped on her scowling face. As Joan shrieked, Kaze carried Sasha out of there. The scared crowd parted to give way to Kaze and Sasha. Kaze brought Sasha into the car. “Kaze…” Sasha was placed in the front passenger sea
The helpless and despair look on Sasha’s face tugged on the crowd’s heartstrings. However, Rhys and Joan would not stop roughing her out. They were likely rich and powerful. No one had the guts to step forward and stop them. As the crowd built, Joan got a bit heavy-handed. She gritted her teeth and yelled, “Strip her! Take the dress off her!“Shame her, and she will think twice before hitting on someone else’s man.” Joan got a kick out of destroying something so beautiful. “Sasha…” Kaze elbowed through the crowd after his phone call and saw Sasha lying on the ground in despair. He grimaced hard. It never occurred to him that Sasha would endure such humiliation in the span of a phone call. A group of men and women abused her in broad daylight. The crowd watched on, some even criticizing as if things were not bad enough. Kaze was enraged. “Stop!” His angry voice silenced the crowd. Joan was stunned. She released her grip on Sasha’s hair and cocked her head ba
Sasha looked like a princess in the gown, and Joan’s jealousy drove her to start something. Caught in the act by his girlfriend, Rhys felt anxious. Since Joan put the blame on Sasha, Rhys said happily, “You’re right, Joan. The bitch seduced me. She wants to be a star through me. “She even talked about signing a contract with me at a hotel. She invited me to do whatever I wanted. “I know I can be a playboy, but since dating you, I have been saving myself for you. The bitch doesn’t fool me. “When she wouldn’t leave me alone, I got angry and attacked her.” Rhys turned the whole thing against Sasha. “You’re lying!“That’s not true!” Sasha wailed in fury. She would rather take a beating than be labeled the slut who stole someone’s boyfriend. “How dare you talk smack!” Livid, Joan pushed Sasha to the ground and stomped her heels on Sasha. Sasha cried out in pain. “You go, Joan!” “How dare she steal your boyfriend. We should take off her clothes and ruin her.” “Th
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
