Ash’s heart skipped a beat. As Vayne’s assistant, Selene was the closest person to him. Her answer must reflect Vayne’s opinion on the matter. Could it be that Vayne did not want the professor to work with Sky Ocean Corporation? Even Darcy had a bad feeling about this. “Ms. Blanks, mind your attitude. My husband did not curry favor with anyone. He is friends with Professor Whiteman.” Darcy went up to Selene and said coldly, “And please explain why Sky Ocean Corporation isn’t worthy of inviting the professor as its ambassador?” “Who do you think you are? Why must I explain myself to you? You think you are the chairwoman of the world? No, you are just the chairwoman of a company in this lousy city!” Selene argued with Darcy, showing off envy in her eyes. “Darcy Quint, is it? Let me tell you something; don’t even hope to get the professor’s endorsement. Lee Solutions have already signed an exclusive right for the professor to endorse their hospitals!” Selene laughed as s
Vayne smiled and invited Darcy to have a seat. His perverted gaze scrutinized Darcy’s voluptuous body. Darcy did not sit down. She said, “I’m not drinking. I heard from your assistant that Lee Solutions have gotten exclusive rights to Professor Whiteman’s endorsement. “Is it true? If it is, then we have no reason to waste our time here.” Vayne shot a warning gaze at Selene, blaming her for having a loose mouth. He was infatuated with Darcy’s beauty and body. He wanted to sit her down, try his chances on her, and then reveal to her that he had sold the exclusive rights to Samson. Now his plans were foiled. “Ms. Quint, what is the meaning of that? Are you questioning me?” Vayne’s smile faded and said with a stern look, “Yes, it is true.” Darcy’s heart skipped a beat. It was true. Samson then asked, “Vayne, does it mean Ms. Quint’s Sky Ocean Corporation is also interested in the professor’s endorsement?” He had no idea that it was Sky Ocean Corporation who started al
Samson watched quietly as Natasha struck Darcy. “Ms. Quint, let’s go! Samson Hobbs, you will pay for the slaps!” Ash quickly dragged Darcy away and left with an angry remark. She was not bluffing. She knew that Darcy had a strong background and even the Butterworth Queens worked for her. Samson was just the lapdog of the Lees. His fangs were not enough to hurt Darcy. “I’ll be waiting for you. If you can, bring your useless husband along. Hahaha.” Samson laughed as he pulled Natasha into his arms and tapped her butt. “Nice slaps, Nat. You did what I have always wanted to do.” “Sir, Darcy Quint is a bitch. Slapping her will only dirty your hands. I can do it for you,” Natasha said meekly as her eyes gleamed with viciousness. She was just jealous of Darcy. Darcy was more beautiful, younger, and was the chairwoman of two companies. Natasha was just a slave to Samson, a plaything to his son and Vayne. …“Darcy, how did it go?” Back at Sky Ocean Corporation, Kaze cam
“Samson Hobbs wanted the professor to endorse his failing hospitals. One misstep and it would ruin the professor’s name. We can’t just sit this out. “Darcy, just stay here and rest. I’ll bring the professor back.” Darcy no longer tried to stop Kaze. “Ash, go get lunch for Darcy.” After giving Ash his last order, Kaze left Sky Ocean Corporation. Through Snow, he found out where the professor was doing the commercial shoot. “Isn’t this a fertility hospital? We are doing the shoot here?” Professor Whiteman came down from the black Maybach and saw the signage above his head. His brows furrowed as he was baffled. He had heard about this hospital before but was not fond of their practices. It felt strange that the commercial shoot was being held in the fertility hospital. “This is the place, Professor Whiteman.” Samson’s secretary, Natasha, was tasked to receive the professor. Professor Whiteman did not know her. He simply thought it was an employee of Sky Ocean Cor
“I am endorsing Lee Solutions’ hospitals?!” Professor Whiteman was baffled. Kaze asked him to be the ambassador of Mountain Dew Estate of Sky Ocean Corporation, yet it turned out to be Lee Solutions.“That’s right, Professor Whiteman. You are now the exclusive ambassador of Lee Solutions and you are doing a commercial shoot for the hospital under the company’s name,” Natasha explained patiently. The professor was vital to Samson’s plans, so she had to do whatever she could to satisfy him. Professor Whiteman asked, “Is Kaze Lee the owner of Lee Solutions?” If Lee Solutions belonged to Kaze, then the hospital should be fine and he did not mind endorsing it either. He trusted Kaze. “Kaze Lee? You mean that useless son-in-law of the Quints?” Natasha did not notice the change of expression on the professor’s face when she called Kaze useless. She sneered. “Lee Solutions belongs to the Sunrise Lees. They both shared the same name but the useless trash isn’t worthy to be my
“Kaze?!” Listening to the familiar voice, Professor Whiteman looked toward the voice and saw Kaze coming out from behind the crew members. “It’s you? Darcy Quint’s useless husband? What the hell are you doing here?” Natasha glared at Kaze. “Are you the one who slapped my wife?” Kaze walked up to her and stared down at her. Natasha scoffed and lifted her chin arrogantly. “Yeah, I slapped her. I slapped her twice on both her cheeks. You should have seen her face when she left…” Before she could even finish her sentence, she was slapped in the face. Slap! The sudden slap forced her to swallow her words back into her stomach. “Aaah!” Natasha covered her burning cheek and screamed in pain. “You slapped me?! You piece of garbage!” Slap! Another slap landed on the other side of her face. “I slapped your boss’ son. Why can’t I slap the lapdog working for him?” Kaze did not even look at her as she fell to the floor. “Professor, let’s go.” He walked over to the prof
Painful screams sounded continuously. In less than a minute, all the security guards were beaten to the ground, curled up, and growling in pain. Everything went silent except for the painful growls. Everyone looked at Kaze in shock, except for Professor Whiteman. He was more of a beast than a man! “Uh…” Birdie was stunned as well. His men were ferocious and could easily scare off people who tried to cause trouble at the hospital. Yet they were like children in front of Kaze. Slap! A heavy slap sent Birdie to the floor, landing on his butt. His head was slightly dizzy as he stared at Kaze blankly. Kaze grabbed him by the hair and said, “Still trying to break me?” “No! No! Not anymore! Please let me go!” Kaze lifted Birdie into the air single-handedly. With his legs kicking and flapping like a bird, Birdie felt like his scalp was being ripped off his skull. “I can let you go.” Kaze then gestured with his lips, pointing at Natasha. “Slap the woman’s face and
“It’s okay now, Darcy. You guys can print a new contract and I’ll sign it here and now. No one is going to intervene now,” Professor Whiteman said. The incident alarmed the professor. It seemed like he could not even trust his own student. He could only trust Kaze, who he had been through life and death with. “Okay. Ash, can you draft up a contract real quick? We’ll choose the right time to make the announcement,” Darcy said. They could not afford to drag this out any longer. The longer it took, the more damage was done to the company. While Professor Whiteman was signing the contract with Sky Ocean Corporation, Samson received the news of Natasha being hospitalized as well. More importantly, the professor was taken away from the commercial set by Kaze. Slam! Samson smashed his favorite mug on the floor and shouted, “Call Vayne immediately!” Vayne was sleeping after having too many drinks at lunch. He was woken up by an abrupt call and made his way to the Lee Solu
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
