As Kaze and the group approached their accommodation for the night, a young man with jeans hanging off his bottom brushed past them. “That is Taz’s sidekick. They have not left the resort,” Bronya murmured in fear. The group feared Taz’s revenge for taking a stand against him. Undaunted, Mei pursed her lips and uttered, “We have nothing to be afraid of. Kaze is the owner of Mountain Dew Estate. Taz can’t drive us out of here.” The group felt assured. “Mr. Hobbs, Rose and her friends are staying in the best chalet. The general manager even carried their bags.” The sidekick rushed to a nearby chalet to report back to Taz. “Son of a bitch! What’s wrong with the management here? Are they out to get Mr. Hobbs?” Taz’s minions pounded the table in rage. The news did not sit well with Taz either. He had given special instructions to Kefier to ban Kaze and the group from the resort. Not only did Kaze and the others manage to check in, but the general manager of Mountain Dew
Samson brought up his opinion about Kaze within Taz’s earshot.Thinking little of Kaze, Taz hissed through clenched teeth. “He’s a bastard. He has the nerve to hit me when my dad won’t even do that. Since you’re here, I’ll crush you now and make you hand over Hudson Investment Firm.” Taz turned his nose up at Samson’s plan. In his opinion, no scheme was necessary to deal with a loser like Kaze. Lost in his thoughts, Taz pondered ways to dice and slice Kaze when his sidekick said, “Mr. Hobbs, Lil Dee and his team are at Mountain Dew Estate.” “Come on. Let’s meet with Lil Dee.” Taz got up and led his minions to meet Lil Dee. Lil Dee and Taz were old friends. Taz often watched Twig live reels in his spare time. Back then, Lil Dee had only started live streaming as an influencer. Lil Dee’s stunts made Taz laugh, and Taz sent gifts worth up to a million dollars on the platform, propelling Lil Dee into stardom. Later, Taz and Lil Dee hung out several times in real life
“A manager named Kefier raised the question to get you the best chalet but was fired for it.” Taz twisted the story to rile Lil Dee up. “Fuck! What the hell?” Lil Dee cussed in an outburst. Obsessed with image, he meticulously crafted his portrayal wherever he went.Mountain Dew Estate’s lack of VIP treatment infuriated Lil Dee. “Hello, Lil Dee. I am Nancy Braus, the general manager of Mountain Dew Estate. On behalf of all the employees here, I welcome you and your team to Mountain Dew Estate.” Nancy approached Lil Dee with her staff members. As Nancy stood a distance away, she had no idea that Lil Dee had an ax to grind with the resort upon arrival. “Is this the welcome I get from Mountain Dew Estate, Ms. Braus?” Discontent was written all over Lil Dee’s face. Startled, Nancy had no idea why Lil Dee was pissed. She said, “Lil Dee, did we do something wrong?” Lil Dee scoffed and said with a smirk, “I heard that your fanciest and best chalet is given to someone e
Lil Dee dropped the matter following Taz’s suggestion. He nodded and agreed to let Kaze play host to him. Nancy sighed in relief and led them to the chalets. “Don’t you find it insulting to be entertained by the guy who married into his wife’s family, Taz? Why is he our entertainment now? We’d have better fun with his wife,” Lil Dee queried Taz once they were at the accommodation. Kaze was just entertainment to Lil Dee. “Don’t get any ideas about his wife. Some wealthy heir has his eye on her and hired her to be the chairwoman of Sky Ocean Corporation.” Mathias was the wealthy guy Taz was talking about. Taz heard from Samson that Mathias, taking fancy to Darcy, bought Sky Ocean Corporation and put her in charge. Kaze was being cheated on. “I’m not getting any ideas,” Lil Dee replied embarrassedly. Lil Dee knew better than to mess with the rich and powerful, so Darcy was out of his list now. “I want Kaze to entertain you because he’s the bastard who scalded me with
No one expected Lil Dee to be so blunt as to bring up Kaze’s touchy subject. The clamoring pub fell silent. Lil Dee’s team, Taz, and his sidekicks looked at Kaze curiously. Most of them held Kaze in contempt. Not wanting to put Kaze in the spot, Nancy said angrily, “Please show Mr. Lee some respect. He’s our owner, Lil Dee.” “Ha!” Lil Dee snorted and sneered. “So what? Can’t I be honest with the owner? It’s no secret that Mr. Lee took his wife’s family name. Was I wrong?” While Lil Dee was right, he did not have to lay bare Kaze’s privacy. Nancy was disgusted with Lil Dee. The influencer, who was famed for his charity work and humility in public, acted high and mighty behind closed doors. “Lil Dee, Mr. Lee represents Sky Ocean Corporation.” Nancy stressed to remind Lil Dee that they were equal partners. Given Kaze’s position as a Sky Ocean Corporation representative, any personal attacks would be considered inappropriate.However, Nancy’s words insulted Li
“Mr. Lee, you’re the man.” Lil Dee clapped his hands with a smile. While his words praised Kaze, his eyes betrayed a glint of disdain.When Kaze stepped forward, Lil Dee thought the loser was going to confront him. Instead, Kaze wimped out and told everybody to carry on drinking. Chuckles filled the pub. Lil Dee’s team, Taz, and his sidekicks snickered contemptuously. Taz joined Lil Dee in the applause and taunted, “Tsk, tsk. Rose, wasn’t Kaze acting tough earlier? Why is he a coward now?“He gulped down the whole bottle like it’s water.” The way Taz saw it, Kaze was brutal to attack him because he was the owner of Mountain Dew Estate. However, Kaze’s wife gave him that role. Kaze backed down when he came across Lil Dee, an important partner to his wife. “Shut up, Taz. Mind your own business!” Rose teared up, feeling angry with Taz and sorry for Kaze. She yanked him. “Stop drinking, Kaze. You can’t handle that much alcohol.” Bronya, Mei, Welt, and the others pe
“Don’t just stand there, Mr. Lee. Hurry up and pick the good ones for us.” As Kaze stood still, Lil Dee urged him annoyedly, treating Kaze as a pimp. It was more than just a verbal insult. If Kaze were to grant Lil Dee’s wish, the public would tear into him and label him as a hustler. Nancy stood up for Kaze. “I’m sorry, Lil Dee, but we don’t provide that kind of service—” “Hmph!” A scoff interrupted Nancy from finishing her sentence. One of Taz’s minions, a local, sneered. “Who are you bluffing, Ms. Braus? It’s widely known that Mountain Dew Estate is a brothel. “Most people traveling outside the city head to Mountain Dew Estate. It’s said that the resort even hired foreigners to cater to guests. You’re withholding on Lil Dee by not giving him the full five-star service.” The sidekick was telling the truth. Guests who could afford a stay at Mountain Dew Estate had access to money. Some wealthy men would bring along their female companions to the resort. It was cl
Nancy turned pale. Lil Dee could drop out of the deal with Sky Ocean Corporation if Nancy would not sleep with him. Revamping the image of Mountain Dew Estate was Sky Ocean Corporation’s key objective following its acquisition.Nancy was grateful to Darcy for giving her an opportunity to run the resort. She did not want to be the reason the partnership was in ruins. However, she was unwilling to sleep with Lil Dee. Nancy looked at Kaze in dread, eager to know where he stood. Lil Dee inched closer to Kaze. “Have you made up your mind, Mr. Lee? I don’t like to repeat myself.” “I’ve made myself clear, Lil Dee. Go back and take a cold shower to calm yourself down. You’re playing with fire.” Kaze’s gaze was aloof. “Hmph!” Lil Dee scoffed in disdain. “Don’t hog the good stuff, Lil Dee. Don’t forget about me.” Taz stepped forward, tempted to give Lil Dee a standing ovation for the brilliant idea. Once Kaze’s wife realized Kaze had pimped out his employee, she would g
