Without further ado, Lil Dee and Alyssa went to Sky Ocean Corporation. There was still a crowd outside the building. Professor Whiteman had left but the reporters wanted to get more interviews with the people in the company, especially Darcy and Kaze. Both of them were probably the most discussed people in the city. One of them was the chairwoman of two companies and was known for her beauty while the other impersonated the God of War who was known for being useless and the son-in-law of the Quint family. The reporters hoped they could get exclusive interviews with them, but Darcy and Kaze did not even come out. Then, Lil Dee and Alyssa arrived. The reporters were surprised for a moment before they swarmed over to the two of them. “Lil Dee, I heard you were beaten up by Kaze Lee and got hospitalized. Is that true?” Lil Dee was still in his hospital gown and had a patch on his face. His appearance somehow verified the reporter’s question. “Please make way. We are on
“Ms. Quint, uh…” Ash tried to stop Kaze. She believed it was inappropriate to be so disrespectful because they had to work together long-term. Darcy glanced at her but did not say a word. The stern look on her face silenced Ash. After Ash and the executives tried to abdicate her, Darcy still respected her for her experience and insights but she would no longer let Ash make all the decisions. “Kaze Lee! Don’t push it! I’ve apologized, what else do you want? You really think I can’t live without your contract?” Lil Dee was furious. Kneeling and apologizing to Kaze would be worse than killing him. Kaze curled his lips and said, “Then please leave. You are right, it’s not like we have to work with you anyway.” “You…” Lil Dee’s eyes were burning with flames of anger. He glared at Darcy and said, “Ms. Quint, is this how you treat your business partner?” Darcy said emotionlessly, “Lil Dee, we are not business partners to be exact. You’ve terminated the contract already.”
Kaze’s words left the room full of people dumbfounded. With red-rimmed eyes, Lil Dee pointed at Kaze and blurted angrily, “You went back on your word, bastard!” Lil Dee had kneeled and cleared the air. He assumed the humiliation would be enough for him to keep his position as the ambassador and piggyback on Sam’s popularity. Yet, Kaze wanted to back out of the contract. Kaze’s scornful eyes nearly drove Lil Dee to the edge. Ashen in the face, Alyssa said to Darcy curtly, “Ms. Quint, I guess integrity isn’t one of Sky Ocean Corporation’s business core values since you can’t keep your word.” Darcy furrowed her brows. Kaze said with a smirk, “What promise? I’ve never said that he would still be the ambassador if he apologized on his knees and came clean openly.” While talking, he turned to Lil Dee. “Besides, it was the least you could do. You made a fuss, demanding that I kneel before you to apologize. You should have seen it all coming when you hired trolls to slander m
“Winnie, you bitch! You can’t wait to divorce me so that you can be with a mooch like Kaze. “His wife is more beautiful than you and has more money than you. Do you think he’ll marry you once you boot me out? “You’ll get nothing, you whore!” Zenny’s vile comments boomed from the other end of the line. “You have lost it, Zenny.” Winnie tried to conceal the anger in her voice. “Kaze and I are just friends. I’m filing for divorce because you tried to hurt Brenda, and that is more than I can take. “It’s the end of the road for our marriage. Divorce will be good for all of us.” Zenny used Brenda to trick Winnie into the underground parking lot once. Winnie and Brenda were forcefully taken to Wuthering Pavilion and nearly died horribly at the hands of Chrysant Twin Ghost. Since that day, Winnie made up her mind to divorce Zenny. She had been looking for Zenny, but the latter had taken cover. “Zenny, just say the word, and we can meet to sign the papers—” Zenny interru
“I’m happy to move!” Knowing it was a great opportunity for personal development, Sophie said, “Mr. Chairman, I’ll head there today to get an idea of Hudson Investment Firm’s operation on your behalf.” “Alright. I’ll let Miru know and secure an official offer of employment for you.” Kaze was pleased with Sophie’s enthusiasm for the job and contacted Miru right away. Miru was as sarcastic as ever when she got Kaze’s call. “At least you’re aware of where you stand and seek help, Kaze. Sophie Song, you say? Alright. She can report straight to work.” The sneering aside, Miru still made things happen. Her intention was to give Kaze a respectable position at Hudson Investment Firm to save Darcy from embarrassment.Miru did not care about Kaze hiring Sophie as an assistant. “Mr. Chairman, I’ll head there now.” Sophie made her way to Hudson Investment Firm after getting the necessary stuff. Noticing Winnie’s lack of enthusiasm, Kaze tried to turn her attention elsewhere a
The woman, who spoke in a heavy foreign accent, approached hastily. “You asked for it, bitch! No one hits my child and gets away with it,” she yelled while raising her hand to slap Brenda. Frightened, Brenda cocked her head back and hugged Winnie’s neck to cry. Smack! Winnie slapped the woman’s hand away, hugged Brenda, and consoled her, “Don’t cry, Brenda. Mommy’s here.” Her mother’s little girl, Brenda, stopped the tears and curled up in Winnie’s arms before staring at the foreign woman shyly. The foreign woman held her arm and glared at Winnie menacingly. “Ah! You’re such a savage lowlife! How dare you hit me!” The fact that Winnie hit her enraged her more than her child getting hit.“Ma’am, use your words, not violence,” Winnie said with a grimace. The foreign woman stood aside and watched the children bully Brenda. Now that her child had fallen over, she tried to strike Brenda. With Winnie’s words striking a nerve, the foreign woman uttered in rage, “Even your g
Danny demanded one million prys in compensation for the minor scrape on Danny Jr.’s arm. The payment was expected in prys, a currency with an exchange rate ten times higher than the dollar.Winnie was not the only one angry. Even Kaze smirked in rage. “Danny, right? I bet you couldn’t earn a living in your home country, so you came to Arcadia to scam us locals. “We haven’t yet determined if compensation is appropriate in this case. Even if we should, you are demanding one million prys for a minor injury. It’s daylight robbery.” “Hahaha…” The onlooking crowd was amused by Kaze’s remark. Many foreigners, who could not make a living in their homeland, were treated like kings in Arcadia. The recent increase in the number of foreign teachers at universities sparked debate and raised concerns about qualifications and necessity. Many were glad that Kaze tore into Danny, but some took things far and stood against the common enemy. “You’re right, sir. Why one million prys for
“Are you even an Arcadian?” Winnie said exasperatedly, feeling sick to her stomach by Jem’s behavior.Kaze said coldly, “You’re a traitor to our country.” “How dare you!” Jem was about to blow up. “No need to get worked up over these brutes, Jem,” Danny said. Danny soon furrowed his brows. “I’m not pleased with the staff here. My child was injured, but no one came to resolve the matter. Are the employees here condoning the attacker?” An employee of Century Fun, who was hiding in the crowd to observe the situation, turned pale. He turned on his walkie-talkie. “Manager…” Soon, a group of Century Fun’s staff members rushed over. A member approached Danny and apologized. “Hello, Mr. Tulip. I am Scott Young, the general manager of Century Fun. I apologize for arriving late. I was caught up in an emergency.” “What can be more important than the assault of Mr. Tulip’s child?” Jem scoffed disgruntledly, pointed at Kaze’s group, and said, “Mr. Tulip wanted the perpetrato
