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
“Mr. Niners, we’ll send back the fifty men working at our site. It was Tiger Fangs who sent them here, we had nothing to do with this!” Tiger Fangs helped Quintessential Group yet Master Quint showed no appreciation for that. He even criticized the Tiger Fangs for their intervention and forced Dan’s men to work for free at the construction site. Dan sounded even more polite when he found out that it was Master Quint he was talking to. “Master Quint, we are really here to work. Just let us in. Me and my men deserved this. The Tiger Fangs are right to reeducate us through labor work.” The Quints were more afraid than ever when they heard Dan. To them, Dan was speaking sarcastically. Samus went up to Dan and said with a trembling voice, “Mr. Niners! Darcy is in charge of the site. She agreed for your men to work here, we had nothing to do with this.” Nothing to do with this? Dan was slightly surprised. It seemed like the God of War’s wife was not too close with her extende
Dan got up and stared at Samus. “Get this little shit out of here! How dare he threaten Ms. Quint!” Samus was thrown out of the construction site despite his begging and crying. Master Quint and the others were shocked as well. They were afraid that Dan would toss them out, so they quickly left the scene. Dan led two hundred of his men into the site. Together with Manny and his men who had started working, almost three hundred gangsters were working there. Darcy did not know whether to be afraid or laugh at the scene. What gave Miru the idea to make Dan and his men work at the construction site for free? If the news got out, people would think Darcy was a mob boss. Inside a VIP ward at Lilyrose Prime Hospital, Henry was still bedridden. “Dad, am I a eunuch now? Does it mean I can’t fuck women for the rest of my life?!” Henry stared blankly at the ceiling and spoke lifelessly. He did not move for three days after he realized he lost his penis. Roger felt terrib
Roger looked at Kelly coldly. The reason he allowed Kelly to live was because Henry had sex with her before he was castrated. If Kelly got impregnated, then Roger would allow her to live until she gave birth to the child. If not, she would have two more months to live. Therefore, Roger recruited her to the new Construction and Material Society and made her the new chief secretary. Kelly was living the life of her dreams. If she could bear Henry’s seed, then she would become the daughter-in-law of the Hilfingers and strengthen her position in the family.Little did she know, she was already dead in Roger’s eyes. “What is it?” Roger put the vicious gaze away and asked in a normal expression. “Mr. Chairman, Dan Niners turned on us. I just got the news that he and his men are working at Darcy’s construction site!” Kelly said with a hint of disappointment on her face. She wanted Darcy and Kaze to suffer but even a gangster boss like Dan would submit to them. Roger was i
“Just tell me what you need, Arthur. You wouldn’t be calling unless you have received orders.” Philip was surprised to get a call from Arthur. Though they were acquainted, they had only communicated because of work. “We have just left Rising Sun. Don’t approve the films for now.” Arthur was blunt. “I can do that, but can I ask why?” Philip was caught in a dilemma because he had just promised Jet to release the films. Philip needed to know if the orders to delay came from a high power who could cover his ass. “Since you got a call from me, you should know that there are eyes on Jet. “You should know what you can and cannot say. Otherwise, you never know when you’re going to lose your job.” Arthur threatened. Philip was reluctant. He accepted Jet’s payment, and now he had to go back on his word. Nevertheless, Arthur was part of the Viper’s Den, and his status was rather unique. Arthur provided services to confidential individuals. These individuals were elites among t
A balanced, profitable dynamic had been developed among the ports in Butterworth. Jet spotted his chance in the lucrative port business. He covertly took out some money to invest in a dying port. The port was situated in a more remote area. Some businesspeople favored more accessible ports. This drove shippers away from the dying port. Jet snagged the steal and improved the logistics and facilities around the area. The port was up and running again. Business at the port was decent enough. As the Frosts would run their business through the port, the local economy took off too. It was a good thing. However, Jet set his sights on several residential buildings around the area. He needed space to accommodate containers. The land was required to make business at the port more profitable. This triggered a whole new thing. Jet could spend some money to buy the residents out of their homes. However, the residents preferred to stay put in their long-time homes. No a
“I’ll keep the bank cards for now. I’ll talk to our superiors and give you a decision. Since the man said that the cards are meant for us, they won’t be going anywhere.” Knox had no idea who Kaze was, but he knew Arthur was with the Viper’s Den. Arthur must be someone from high places. Eli soon put the little incident behind him. He got a call from Aloysius yesterday and was made aware of Jet’s plans. The films had been put on hold for far too long, and the people above Eli were anxious to get things moving. Though Eli was surprised by the review board’s visit, everything was still in his control. Eli left the matter at that without reporting the incident to the higher-ups. The flashy, red car sped along the road. Arthur kept looking back at Kaze, eager to find out about the next plan. Arthur brought Kaze out today to witness how Eli and his team operated. As it happened, Eli adopted such a shallow ploy. Arthur was not surprised, though. Eli’s methods were common.
Eli dined offhandedly as if he had taken hold of the group. His words were layered with threat. “What? Are you trying to replace us?” Knox asked in disbelief. “I don’t have that power, but the investor does. I heard that he enjoyed dinner with your superiors. I’m sure the project will get the green light in no time. “Even if you didn’t approach me today, my team and I would have invited you out for a get-together.” Eli knew when to back down, easing the tension in the air. It was another type of reconciliation. Eli needed to go through the review board to get the rights to air the films. The carrot-and-stick approach was the best way forward. Kaze was surprised by the sophistication of Eli’s tactics. Still, he believed he had come to the right place. Sure enough, Jet would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. Surely, he was bound to leave loose ends. Nevertheless, he probably did not care. Arthur cocked his head back to look at Kaze. Kaze grinned, unbothered
The purpose of the visit was to inform Rising Sun that the films did not make the cut. Since Rising Sun would not make the necessary amendments, the project would come to a halt. “Please, don’t. Since we are all here, we should talk it out.” It took Eli quite some effort to get the group to the hotel. Eli had plans to please the crowd, so he could not let them leave just yet. This went beyond getting the green light for the films. Eli needed to make the group happy. “There is nothing more to talk about. We can’t proceed unless you make the changes.” There was no way around it. Since Rising Sun refused to make the right amendments, and Knox had orders about putting a hold on Rising Sun’s films, that was one less problem for Knox to deal with. Eli could not let the group walk out on him. Hence, he quickly sent people in. Several thinly clad women entered, each holding a small bag. Despite the weightlessness, the bag appeared to be carrying something of substance. “You
For that reason, Rising Sun’s film productions were not cleared to be aired. “I told you the reason. The investor supplied us with the scripts, and we were told to base our productions on the scripts. Our hands are tied.”Eli would have made the amendments if he could. He knew where the problem lay. However, the company had to take the investor’s perspective into consideration. In the end, the films were yet to be approved for release. “I guess you won’t get the permission to air them then.” Knox was surprised that Rising Sun would not budge on the matter. Nevertheless, Knox and his team were not there to give the all-clear or talk some sense into Rising Sun. Knox and his team could care less about what Eli had to say. “We’re serious about getting the approval. “I’m sorry that we aren’t a better host for your visit today. Why don’t we move to the nearby hotel for a talk?” With the review board making an appearance, Eli knew there was still hope. If Eli did not grab
Arthur chuckled, his smile carrying a touch of sleaziness. “Oh, I see.” A realization dawned on Kaze. “Are you with quality control?” Several individuals in dark blue suits approached. The men and women carried files and documents. Kaze nodded without a word. “We are just here to announce the results. We shouldn’t be long.” Arthur came forward to engage with them. The group was likely given the heads-up as they had the right number of people. They swaggered into Rising Sun’s building. The general manager straightened up his tie in a fluster and walked out. None of the film productions made the cut yet, and the delay was costing the company money by the day. At this rate, the project would go down under. Eli, the general manager, rushed to the entrance upon learning the news. The review team was there to do one final check. The films would get the green light if the board found that everything was up to par. The head office would stop putting pressure on
Given Kaze’s status, Alfonso knew better than to have him waiting under the hot sun. Of course, he would send his people to be on standby for Kaze’s arrival. Peter only came to the rescue when Kaze was pestered by some street gang. Alfonso’s omission of Kaze’s identity led to this hiccup. Kaze did not care one bit about the incident. Heck, he did not even bring it up. Arthur straightened his back nervously, becoming even more cautious behind the wheel. “You knew, but why didn’t you say anything, Mr. Lee? You didn’t even tell on us.” Arthur could not understand why. However, he had more respect for the man. “I didn’t see a point. You’ll learn what happens when you displease me, so I won’t bother telling you now.” Kaze was mild-mannered as ever. He spoke softly without a hint of anger. All the more Arthur revered him. “Mr. Lee, we didn’t do our jobs right. We didn’t know who you were.“But my duty is to protect you in the dark. “We saw you getting out of the train
“Rising Sun is a media company. Several of their films are about to be released. They are trying to get them approved to air due to some censorship issues.” Arthur took out a document. “Are there any issues with the films? Why aren’t they approved yet?” Kaze asked curiously. Kaze had no idea. “There are some issues. They aren’t fit to be aired. “Typically, there aren’t a lot of restrictions for film productions so long as the themes aren’t sensitive topics. “But these films featured altered history. The company has been asked multiple times to make revisions, but the films still don’t make the cut.” The Viper’s Den’s members were not privy to the information. The Frosts were insignificant. Kaze was after the Frosts. Otherwise, the Viper’s Den would not waste its resources on a mere film production company. Jet’s investment of nearly ten million bucks in Rising Sun caught the Viper’s Den’s attention. The delayed approval of the films would be catastrophic to the in
