“Miru, are you back in Lilyrose?” Darcy answered the phone immediately. Two days ago, Miru said she went home to deal with family matters and disappeared. Darcy could not even call or text her. She was worried sick about her friend. Now with the phone ringing, Miru must have dealt with her family matters. Darcy was happy to answer the call. “My little Darcy, happy to hear my voice? Did you miss me?” Miru’s lazy and teasing voice came from the phone. “Geez, you have perfect looks and body but that mouth of yours doesn’t fit you at all.” Darcy had gotten used to her friend’s tease, so she skipped the chatters and told Miru about her situation. She believed Miru could help her to deal with Dan Niners. There was one time when they went out shopping and were surrounded by a few gangsters who wanted to drag them into the car. Darcy was horrified but Miru remained calm and steady. She asked the gangster who they worked for and then made a call. A while later, the g
Kaze’s eyes narrowed coldly when he heard Miru’s offensive words. Every time she saw him, she insisted that he divorce Darcy. She might have thought too highly of herself. Nevertheless, he promised Darcy to not take Miru’s words seriously, so he did not bother to argue. Darcy was irritated by her friend’s words. “Miru, Kaze and I are doing fine. Why must you say that?” “What are you planning to do with this stupid idiot? Are you really going to spend your life with an idiot who couldn’t do anything?” Miru’s vicious tongue was indeed merciless. She called Kaze an idiot in front of his face. Darcy was afraid that she would exacerbate the matter, so she said, “Miru, stop it. Kaze isn’t an idiot. He had just come out from the psychiatric ward and was now looking for a job. I ran into a lot of problems lately and he helped a lot.” Miru knew Darcy was being kind and her saying so was because she pitied the idiot.She shot another contemptuous gaze and grunted coldly at Kaze, who
“Kaze, watch and learn how I solve problems!” Miru shot another contemptuous gaze at Kaze before she went up to the gangsters. “I am Miru Scarlet, the COO of Lefteria Group.” Big Fly licked his lips pervertedly and said, “So you’re the well-known Madame Miru. I’ve heard of you, Mr. Cummingham’s goddaughter. You are damn beautiful now that I’ve seen you in person.” Miru was disgusted by Big Fly’s perverted look and she frowned. “If you’ve heard of me, then bring your men away!” Slap! Big Fly slapped her on the face without saying anything, leaving a red handprint on her face. “Fuck off, bitch. My boss is Dan Niners. I don’t care if you are some asshole’s goddaughter. I’m not getting paid to know about that!” A ferocious gangster like Big Fly was not afraid of power or authority. He only served for his own benefit and money. Moreover, his boss would soon be a board member of the new Construction and Material Society, whose backbone was the Lee family of the capital.
Darcy was speechless as well. They thought it was pure coincidence that the Tiger Fangs were having another routine practice, not even considering the fact that it was Kaze who called them. Darcy was delighted when she saw Manny and his men working at the construction site for free. Free labor would save the project a lot of money. Back at the Quint family’s mansion, Rudy and his family arrived with a concerned look on their faces. “Father, do something about Darcy! If she continues, our company will be done for!” Rudy cried and begged his father the moment he stepped into the house. “Why? What’s wrong? What did she do this time?” Master Quint was sulking for the past two days and had not gone out for a while. He did not even pay attention to the company’s operation. Samus said, “Grandfather, Dan Niners, the gangster boss, sent his men to cause problems at the construction site. They forced Darcy to buy construction materials from them, or else they would trash the pl
Kaze knew he was not able to dissuade Darcy, so he said, “I have something else to do. I’m going out.” “Sure.” Darcy was worried about the site and did not stop Kaze, or question him. She simply nodded. After Kaze left the office, he secretly gestured at Fish, the sales manager. “What is it, Mr. Chairman?” Fish came over immediately and respectfully stood in front of Kaze. Darcy saw it through the window from her office but it did not bother her. Fish, Andy, and Trevor were respectful and courteous to her as well. She told them many times that they could just be casual around her but they insisted otherwise. “Find a reason to hold Darcy back. Stall as long as you can. I’m going to see Dan Niners.” Kaze then walked off while Fish entered Darcy’s office.“Ms. Quint, I came up with a sales proposal and I would like you to have a look. I would appreciate some advice and suggestions.” Darcy was scared and nervous about the meeting with Dan but she had to concentrate on
Dan did not take Kaze seriously. He got to know from Roger that Kaze was expelled from the Lee family and had been locked up in a psychiatric ward for years. He relied on his friendship with Ray Forrester to make it so far but deep down, he was nothing but a useless man. “Idiot, your wife pissed me off, so are you here to beg me on her behalf?” Dan asked. He decided to insult the idiot and vent his anger about losing his men to Tiger Fangs. Kaze looked at the arrogant Dan and chuckled. “No, I’m here to get you to work at Passion Fragrance District.” “Get me to work?” Dan raised his brows. He did not expect such a strange answer. Flick! He lit his cigarette and said, “So what work are you talking about?” “Construction work. What else could it be if not move some bricks and whatnot?” Kaze said. Dan choked on the smoke immediately. He pressed his chest as he coughed and bellowed, “I’m Dan Niners, a gangster boss of the underworld, and you want me to move bricks at yo
The six ferocious men stared at Kaze with overflowing killer intentions. “Dan, are these your best men?” Gold Tooth’s expression shifted when he saw the men. Dan was released from prison a year ago and he swiftly rose into prominence in the underworld. He was able to make a name for himself in the underworld because he had these six men working for him. However, the six of them barely showed themselves in public and they would only appear when Dan wanted to kill his target. They were considered Dan’s secret weapons. It was also Gold Tooth’s first time seeing them. “Hmph, I guess you are not that stupid.” Dan added, “The six of them are veteran war generals who came back from the battlefield. All of them had taken countless lives mercilessly. I pay them millions per year. I think I don’t need to tell you how powerful they are.” He then looked at Kaze and bellowed, “Go! Teach this little shit a lesson!” “Yes, sir!” The man on the far left, Number One, stepped forwar
“Chief Commander Draco Lang?!” Dan finally recognized Draco and his legs turned weak. Draco’s identity was more shocking than the fact that he single-handedly defeated six ferocious men. The chief commander was a renowned figure who fought at the borders! One word from him and Dan could die ten thousand times over! Dan then stiffly turned his head to Kaze. He clearly remembered Kaze calling Draco his best general. Kaze’s true identity became obvious from that point. Thump! Dan collapsed under pressure and fell to his knees. He prostrated in fear as he said, “God of War! I was wrong! I shouldn’t have disrespected you! I should be punished!” He kowtowed repeatedly. The God of War’s authority was unchallenged and it could kill Dan like a dog. Dan knew he might die on the spot. If the God of War was merciless, the disrespect alone was enough for him to wipe out Dan’s entire family. “So, are you willing to come work at the construction site?” Kaze asked. Dan look
With a darkened expression, Ruby commanded Lance, “Don’t you have a lot of wealthy friends? Just get two hundred thousand from them. Call them and ask them for help!” Lance gradually lost his patience. “They are not the friends who would lend me money. I should be grateful that they don’t come to me for money, and you are asking me to go to them for help? “It’s just a dress. Why are we buying it today? Let’s just do a rain check. When my father unfreezes my credit card, I’ll buy you something more expensive!” He wanted to take Ruby away but the woman was being stubborn. Anger rushed to her head as she shook Lance’s hand off. She shouted, “You useless piece of shit, you can’t even afford a two-hundred-grand dress? Don’t touch me! Get out of my face!” Lance got mad too. “If you have the fucking money, buy it yourself! I’m not your husband! You are begging me to buy it but you’re raising your voice?!” “You?!” Ruby wanted to slap some sense into Lance but the other customers
Ruby was confident in her body. Her physique allowed her to wear all kinds of beautiful dresses flawlessly, so she knew she would fit in the gown without even trying. However, the gown had a pure and innocent vibe, which did not fit her demeanor and temperament. The different style did not bother her because she was carried away by the price tag; the more expensive it was, the more it satisfied her vanity. “Miss, this is the most expensive gown in our store. It was created by a famous designer overseas. It cost two hundred thousand,” said the storekeeper. “Two hundred thousand for a gown?! Even the celebrities aren’t wearing something this expensive!” “Yeah. Maybe the top celebrities can afford it but a small one could never!” “Forget about it. We won’t be able to afford it, but it’s nice to have a look.” “I can’t afford it either. Different people, different lives.” When the price was revealed, the other customers gasped in astonishment, followed by regret and jealousy
Ruby thought that after mocking Sasha and Kaze, they would leave the store with a sour look, yet the two of them went to another section to continue shopping. Sasha’s timid figure was a pain in her eyes. In the other section, Kaze asked the storekeeper to do the same as the previous store. “Pick a gown for my sister here. She’s going to wear it to emcee at a party.” To their surprise, Ruby and Lance came after them. “You two poor bastards, get out of the way! Can you even afford the clothes here? Hmph! “You, I want you to pick something for me that is fitting!” The female storekeeper looked troubled. “Miss, this…” “Cut the crap and get on with it!” The storekeeper was instantly defeated by Ruby’s aggressive demeanor. She quickly sized up Ruby’s body and physique and selected a red gown with a deep frontal cutting for her. “Miss, this one might look nice on you.” “Let me have a look.” Ruby took the gown and looked at the price tag. She then tossed it on the floor
“Your little sister? I have not heard of Sasha having a brother. Are you the sugar daddy who’s been feeding her?” Ruby scrutinized Kaze and noticed nothing branded on him, which fueled her contempt for him. “But you don’t look like a rich one, more like a poor loser! What are you two doing here in a luxury store?” Kaze coldly said, “We don’t have to inform you where we are going.” “You don’t have to, but if you are just here window shopping, I would suggest you leave right away. People just don’t seem to know their limits.” Ruby then looked at Sasha, who was afraid, and mocked her, “Some people are just an ugly duckling, not a swan. You can’t just change who you naturally are, not like you can put on a dress and look great. Am I right, Lance?” She curled her arms around Lance’s and spoke in a sweet and flattering tone. Lance was one of the wealthy young men on campus who had been asking her out. Initially, she saw Lance as just another one of her test subjects she could
“Lance,” Sasha said with a nod. She instinctively took another step back, which made the man named Lance frown. Ruby was displeased by how Lance reacted to Sasha, her face ashened. She scrutinized Sasha and said sarcastically, “Sasha, look at you. You’re Cinderella today. I thought you were still that Ugly Duckling back at school. Don’t tell me you’ve found a sugar daddy.”Misunderstood as someone clinging onto a rich man, Sasha’s face instantly blushed. She waved her hands anxiously and said, “No, it’s not like that! It’s nothing like that! My boss from Herbal Spring wants me to get some new clothes for work, so that I’d look better.” Ruby scoffed, “Are you kidding me? The brand that you are wearing might not be to my taste but it costs thousands. There’s no boss who is this kind, spending money on the employee’s outfit. Besides, you are just a part-timer, not a full-time employee. And you are telling me you don’t have a sugar daddy?” Her words fueled Sasha’s anxiety, making
“Kaze, I really don’t need it…” Buying ten thousand bucks worth of clothes was already overwhelming for Sasha. She dared not even spare a glance at the expensive gowns and dresses. “The boss is paying. Come on, let’s go get you something nice.” Kaze already spotted another store specializing in gowns and dresses. He dragged the girl inside without giving her the chance to escape. The store was filled with various designs of dresses and gowns, so fancy that it made the girl’s jaw drop. Even though she looked reluctant due to the price, her eyes showed a hint of delight. Kaze saw the delight in her and simply smiled. No woman could resist wearing beautiful dresses. He knew all women, including Sasha, would be instantly captivated by the beautiful dresses. He brought Sasha shopping for luxury dresses so that she could get used to the extravagant experience. He knew that a girl like Sasha could never conceal her charms under her shyness. Men would flock over to her like
Sasha’s lips moved once more, but Kaze’s gaze remained fierce, so she wisely zipped her mouth. “Not a problem, sir.” The storekeeper knew Kaze was a generous customer, so she nodded happily. Being a storekeeper for a luxurious brand required experience and taste. In less than ten minutes, the storekeeper selected three sets of outfits for Sasha, from top to bottom and outer to inner. “Miss, you try these.” Kaze swiped his card before Sasha had the time to regret or stop him. If the size did not fit, she could change it on the spot. Sasha looked at Kaze helplessly and then reluctantly followed the storekeeper to the changing room. A while later, Sasha came out in a new dress and with a blush on her face. Kaze was slightly surprised, looking at the brand new Sasha in a pure white dress. He had to praise the storekeeper for her sharp sense. The white dress emphasized the girl’s innocence and gentleness. “Miss, you are the first customer in our store to present su
Sasha looked troubled. She said, “The owner is paying? It’s okay! I’m wearing the clothes anyway; I should pay for them. The owner and the others took good care of me while at work, I don’t want to take advantage of them.” Kaze was left speechless. How could a little girl be as stubborn as a mule?“How are you taking advantage of them? I said, the owner wants you to wear beautiful clothes and get more business for them, so that they can earn more money. “You know the other employees actually have an allowance for shopping? Each of them has twenty thousand to buy clothes, but since you are just part-time, and you are new, you only have ten thousand.” Kaze continued to coax the girl. “Ten thousand?!” Sasha was shocked by the number. She shook her head and hands, “No! I don’t need that much! A few hundred is enough!” Ten thousand was enough for her to cover her daily expenses for two years or more. How could she spend all of them on clothes? Kaze chuckled. “Ten thousand i
Twenty minutes later, Sasha came out in fresh clothes. She wore a white T-shirt coupled with a pair of jeans, but the patches on them indicated that they were old clothes. She was holding her phone with a slight embarrassment on her face. “Sasha? What’s the matter?” Kaze asked. “Uh, it’s nothing. I-I have to call my school to inform my teacher.” Sasha then went to the corner to make the phone call. “Sasha, you should really try to be the emcee of the evening party. I always have high hopes for you but you are too shy. You blush whenever you talk to strangers. How are you going to adapt when you go out to work in the future? You should train yourself to speak up more. Try to go on stage.” The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the phone once it was connected. Sasha said shyly, “Ms. Cornell, thank you for your kindness, but I cannot afford to buy a gown. I won’t be joining the party.” “My dear, you should learn to be more open-minded. I said I would prepare the gown
