“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
After Miru left the construction site, she went back to Lefteria Group to get some hitmen and headed to La Familia Club. The slap on Dan was indeed revenge but her priority was to help Darcy settle the problem. “Madame Miru, I dared not cause trouble at Ms. Quint’s construction site anymore. I won’t…” Dan kowtowed as he begged for forgiveness. Darcy was the God of War’s wife. “That’s more like it. Let’s go.” Miru grunted and wanted to bring her men away. Kaze then said, “Dan, bring your men along and start working at the site.” He did not want to waste all the free manpower. “Kaze, you really know how to seize the moment. If I didn’t come here with my men, would you still have the nerve to ask Dan Niners to work at the site?” Miru sneered. She had never liked Kaze and after what happened, she looked down on him even more. She turned to Dan and said, “It’s a good idea. Bring your men to Passion Fragrance District construction site and work for a month!” With a gang
“Darcy, how dare you ignore grandfather’s order? Do you still regard him as your grandfather?” “I think she doesn’t want to apologize to Dan Niners and simply wanted to drag us all down! She wants us all dead! Fire her immediately!” Samus and Deborah fanned the flames, further pressuring Darcy on her mistake. They had been holding their anger back for two days now. Ever since their father, Rudy, was dismissed, Darcy took charge of Passion Fragrance District. The whole company thought Rudy and his family were losing power and Darcy would eventually rise to the top. Therefore, no one took them seriously anymore. The executives who used to flatter them for benefits avoided them like the plague now. The feeling of losing power was terrible. They wanted Darcy out of Quintessential Group and regain control over the company. However, they could not locate Jean, Rudy’s ex-secretary, anywhere and the Hanser family could not do anything either. No matter how aggrieved Samus and D
From the very first time Draig met Kaze, he had never thought highly of him. In the subsequent encounters, Kaze’s repeated tolerance of the mockeries from Wesley and Cyan further solidified his image of a coward in Draig’s mind. With such prejudice in his mind, Draig could not accept the fact that Kaze was stronger than him. Coincidentally, he found an acceptable and reasonable explanation for all the inexplicable occurrences, so he hypnotized himself into believing the false. “Can you get up?” Under everyone’s surprised gaze, Kaze strolled over to Jiro and peered down at him condescendingly. Gasp! Phew! Jiro mustered enough strength to look up but the pain was insufferable and he was gasping for air already. Baam! As he struggled to get up, the marble table beneath him further crumbled into pieces, causing a loud clunk. He held onto the couch and slowly got up on his feet. His eyes at Kaze showed unprecedented fear and seriousness. He had come to Arcadia for many
Jiro looked shocked. He did not expect Kaze to dodge his dropkick that easily. With a twist of his waist, he changed his body’s momentum mid-air and swung his left kick at Kaze’s face. However, forcefully changing his momentum mid-air decreased the power and speed contained in his attack. “I don’t like people pointing their feet at me,” Kaze casually said. As he spoke, he lifted his leg too. Without any fancy move or technique, he simply did a high kick, clashing kicks with Jiro. Kabaam! When both feet locked, Jiro’s body convulsed as if hit by lightning. He cried in agony before he was sent hurtling like a stringless kite, crashing onto a couch. The marble table in front of the couch shattered under the force of the crash. He lay down helplessly and weakly, his arms and legs wide open, and his body still convulsing as he could not find the strength to get up. He looked as miserable as it could get. The entire room fell into a dead silence. Many of them rubbed the
Cyan simply watched from the side without a hint of guilt. She believed she had done everything that she could for Kaze. Even if Kaze were to be beaten to death, he deserved it and he could not blame it on anyone else. Jiro was stunned for a moment. When he was learning from his master, he was slapped many times and it was part of the training. It had been many years since his last slap. Kaze’s slap rendered his mind blank for a while. He finally regained his composure after some time. He stroked his burning cheek as he stared at Kaze with eyes burning with anger, almost materializing into an erupting, raging volcano. “It has been a long time since anyone slapped me. Arcadian, you are dead!” Jiro’s freezing words gave everyone chills. It was obvious that he was infuriated. Kaze was not deterred at all. He smiled and said, “Slap is nothing. I will make you kneel in front of me. “A coward like Wesley cannot represent us Arcadians, but your claim of making us kneel p
“Hold on!” Just as Jiro turned around, a voice came from the back, saying, “Jiro Sakamoto, was it? Did I say you could leave?” Jiro was stunned. He slowly turned around to Kaze and raised his brow. “What do you mean?” Cyan and the others were also in shock. ‘Did I say you could leave?!’ Kaze was practically saying that without his permission, Jiro could not leave. The audacity!? Was it because Miru defended him and he thought he could step on the pride of the face of the Refined Blade Dojo? Miru frowned but quickly eased up. She stepped aside without saying anything. Kaze stood firm and still, saying, “I’m like you. I don’t like serving revenge cold. If you want to take revenge, come at me now. I’ll give you a chance to strike.” He gestured at Jiro, indicating that he was ready for a fight. Jiro looked at Miru and then switched his attention back to Kaze. He scoffed, but it felt icy. “I’ve already spared your life once because of Ms. Scarlet, and you are still c
Everyone looked at where Jiro was pointing and saw Kaze. Wesley and the others immediately curled their lips into a gloating grin. Kaze’s words must have infuriated Jiro. He allowed others to leave except for Kaze, which he wanted to take away. One could only imagine what would happen to Kaze if Jiro took him back. However, before Wesley and the others could savor the moment, their smirks froze. Miru shook her head and said sternly, “Bronze Sparrow is open for business and we will not interfere with our customer’s private affairs, except this time. “I am making an exception for Kaze. I don’t care what you do to the others after you walk out of my place but with Kaze, it’s not happening.” “What the…” Miru’s words put everyone in shock, even Cyan and her friends widened their eyes in disbelief. Miru was defending Kaze?! Kaze knew Miru personally as well? Draig started to feel jealous about Kaze’s luck with women. Snow listened to him while the owner of Bronze Sp
“Nonsense!” Infuriated, Jiro shouted, “Woman, Bronze Sparrow thrives because of us Ryokanians! How dare you say that to us? “Who the hell are you? Not even Zoro, the previous manager, spoke to me like that!” “That’s why Zoro is dead.” Miru pursed her lips and raised her hand at the men behind her. “Let’s show Mr. Sakamoto what Bronze Sparrow is capable of.” “Alright, Boss!” Wolf, with an ever-smiley face, stepped up and walked toward Jiro and his men. Aside from the three Ryokanians Kaze had already taken down, eighteen remained. Seeing Wolf's bloated figure and cheerful smile as he approached them by himself, the Ryokanians burst into mocking laughter. “What is this fat guy trying to do? Is he trying to take us all at once?” “Look at his size. Was he a sumo wrestler before?” “Go get him. Teach him a lesson! Remind him that sumo wrestlers are no match for us!” One of them went up to Wolf with a ferocious smile. Bang! Wolf punched the man in the face, sending
“Huh?” Jiro frowned but then quickly smiled. He took the glass of whiskey from Cyan and said, “I’m always happy to give a beautiful woman some space.” Cyan breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around to face Kaze with a different look and said, “Kaze, what have you done? “Can you stop causing trouble? Stop bragging and stop with your nonsense! This is no time for that! Kneel before Mr. Sakamoto and ask for forgiveness! If he’s happy, your punishment might be lighter!” The look on her face screamed resentment for Kaze. “Now! If you waste this chance, I won’t care about your life and death anymore!” She did not want to get involved in his nonsense. Yet she was the one who organized the gathering and if something happened to Kaze, injured or dead, her father would scold her to death. It explained why she steeled herself up and tried to save Kaze, or so she assumed she was saving him.Kaze said, “Cyan, you should worry about yourself first. And, if you don’t want to be thei
Kaze was quiet during the entire confrontation, so no one noticed him until now. Wesley and the others finally thought of him. Kaze did not kneel! Wesley and the others were aggrieved. Kaze remained seated as he said, “Why should I kneel?” “You think you don’t need to kneel because you knocked out one of my men?” Jiro narrowed his eyes and said, “Only Brother Draig doesn’t need to kneel here. All the other men have no right to speak to me on their feet! It’s decided by strength!” He spoke in a deep and intimidating voice, expressing his displeasure. Everyone sensed the anger in his tone. With his intimidating presence, he would not allow an unruly person to disrupt the situation he had under control. He deliberately held back from the first strike because he wanted the overwhelming presence that he had created to force Kaze down on his knees. Such a way that targeted one’s mentality was smarter and more effective. “Kaze, you idiot! Why aren’t you down on your kn
“Go, open another bottle of wine.” Jiro tapped Cyan’s face, causing her cheeks to turn pale. She turned to Draig with begging eyes. Draig said, “Brother Jiro, Cyan is my friend…” “Is she your woman?” Jiro interrupted him once more. Draig was taken aback by the question. He had an instinctive glance at Snow and shook his head. “No.” Jiro did not even look at him. He pointed at Cyan and said, “Go. Open a bottle of wine and wait for me. I like an obedient woman. I don’t like to be rough on a woman.” Cyan was horrified. She teared up as she reluctantly went off to get the bottle of wine. Jiro and the men behind him then hopped onto the couch, taking up the places that belonged to Wesley and his friends. They were ungentlemanly. The moment they sat down, they grabbed the pretty girls into their arms and molested them, treating them like mere playthings for pleasure. The ladies lost their smiles and looked horrified. They tried to break free but no matter how hard the
