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
“Sir, I am still investigating James White’s death, but I found out that the Lee and Hilfinger families were behind his expulsion from university…” Kaze remembered James’ expulsion like it was yesterday. James was on the verge of graduating with his degree course but then someone accused him of plagiarism and got expelled from the university. He was aspiring to be a scientist and the incident ruined his future. It put him in a slum for quite a long time. Kaze knew James’ character well enough to know that he would never plagiarize. Someone must have framed him, so he planned to help his friend. However, James was afraid of confronting the university about the incident and he told Kaze to stay out of it. Before Kaze knew it, James had gone south to start a new career. Snow informed Kaze that the one who reported James to the university was a student named Jessica Summer. She had a group of friends as witnesses as well and they were Haiden Ludgram, Wayne Gerome, Zack Centau
Katie proudly made the statement, convinced that she had done a lot for her daughter. It was only right for Leah to be grateful and understand her sacrifice. To Katie’s surprise, Leah chuckled. “What else have you done for me? You never showed me any attention. You don’t know what I like. You have no idea what I want.” Leah finally saw her mother as the person she was. This side of Katie was terrifying. “What more do you want? Am I not supposed to work? Should I be spending every waking minute of the day with you?” Katie understood Leah’s needs. However, there was no way she could make it happen. It was not easy for a woman to take hold in the Northborn Group, much less secure a high position there. Katie went through great pains to get where she was today. Alas, Leah could not understand where she was coming from. “I’m not asking you to be with me every day. I’ve tried my best to do everything you asked of me, but you can’t even be there for me during my birthdays.
“Everything I do, I do for you. Get this straight. The guy approached you because of what I could bring to the table.” Katie was pissed by her daughter’s defiance which was becoming worse with age. “I know the kind of person he is. Without Kaze’s help, I wouldn’t have escaped. Where were you then? You’re in no position to say that. “Even if there’s something he’s after, what would he want from me? I have nothing to offer.” Leah did not believe a word Katie said. Clearly, Katie was out to get Kaze. “He’s nothing but a poor kid. Why are you blowing this out of proportion? I’ve clearly stated what needed to be done. Why are you still being stubborn?”Katie believed she had not raised her daughter right. Leah turned out pretty naïve. “I told you. He has no ulterior motive. He doesn’t know who I am. He doesn’t have any other intentions. I approached him, not the other way around.” Leah kicked herself for pulling a reckless stunt. All she did was give Kaze more problems. Kat
Leah hated her mother being unreasonable. “Don’t get the wrong idea. I fed you, I gave you clothes, I put a roof over your head, I gave you life! The least you could do is to listen to me!” Katie did not expect her daughter to go so far as to defy her. Kaze remained silent, knowing that no matter what he said, it would be meaningless to someone unwilling to listen. “Kaze, I’m sorry. It was my fault that you are in this mess. I’m a jinx…” Leah blamed herself for getting Kaze in trouble with her mother. If not because of her, he would never encounter her mother. “Shut it! Why are you apologizing!? He approached you with purpose and you can’t even see that? He’s not worthy of your time!” Katie was livid. She felt her daughter was blinded by emotions, incapable of making the right decision. And to make matters worse, the girl even apologized to Kaze—what nonsense! A poor man without any background was no match for her daughter and her status. He approached the girl becaus
Katie suddenly chuckled. “What’s the matter? You are after my daughter and you tried to give me advice? What are you trying to do?” She looked down on a man with no future. She stubbornly believed he approached her daughter because of her. If he said as such, he must have known something else. It was no secret that Katie was preparing the birthday banquet for Leah and one could easily find out about it with a little research. Katie took his words not as a suggestion but as a challenge to her power. “Whatever. You stubbornly believe that anyone who approaches you or your daughter is after your power, does that mean there’s no emotions or love throughout your life?” Kaze suddenly looked at Katie with a pitiful gaze. She had been consumed by the thirst for power and it wiped her humanity. Katie would eventually be a sacrifice of someone else before she knew it. “Don’t look at me with those eyes. Who do you think you are? I see through you right away! I’ve seen a lot of
Frustrated, Leah tried to shake her mother’s hand off, but Katie tightened the grip and did not let it happen. The more the girl resisted, the more Katie felt challenged. She felt that her authority was being shaken by her daughter’s defiance. “Stop it! I told you before that if you don’t listen to me, I will make you regret it! And, don’t let me catch you with this bastard anymore, or he won’t have a future here in Butterworth!” Katie shouted at the girl to silence her. Leah could resist her mother and defy her, but not at the expense of her friend’s well-being. She knew her mother always meant what she said, and once those words were spoken, she would certainly take action against Kaze. Therefore, she quickly fell silent and let her mother take control of the situation. Katie glared at Kaze resentfully. “Stay away from my daughter or I will make you pay!” she bellowed. She then dragged Leah to her car and told the girl to get in. Right after she closed the door, s
Without further ado, Katie stormed out of the car and dashed over to them. “Leah!” she shouted, startling her daughter. When Leah saw her mother, she knew doomsday was upon her. She was frightened and stunned on the spot. Kaze was surprised by the coincidence as well. He was not afraid of the woman but she was charging at them like a ferocious monster. “I told you not to be with this guy! Why didn’t you listen to me?!” Katie could not tolerate her daughter’s defiance. She saw it as a direct challenge to her authority and bottom line. She stepped up and dragged her daughter away. “I told you not to see this poor bastard. Why didn’t you listen to me?” She was consumed by rage and paid no attention to her choice of words. All she cared about was the fear that her daughter had nearly fallen into a stranger’s hands. Leah disliked her mother being unreasonable. She had no idea what changed her mother into an unreasonable wretched hag. “Mom, what are you talking about?” “W
“Katie’s daughter dined at my restaurant and she met the man Katie intended to match her with, yet Katie knew nothing and even threw a tantrum at the door. Why do you think that happened?” Master Fuller shook his head helplessly and poured himself a glass of beer. The last guest of the day had left and he could enjoy his rest peacefully. However, the last guest of the day was a rather interesting pair. “Isn’t it a little contradicting? She’s trying to get Mr. Lee to marry her daughter but she’s asking for trouble at the same time.” The woman was surprised but also found it interesting. “Do I have to deliver the meals to Mr. Lee?” “Let my disciple do it. Don’t you get involved in this, it’s better to stay away from trouble.” Master Fuller wanted to get back at Katie, yet he did not need to do anything because the woman was actively bringing trouble upon herself. The woman did not say anything and simply gazed into the distance. The wooden door at the entrance was ope
“It’s getting late. Let’s get you back.” Kaze knew that Leah had snuck out of the hotel, so it would not be good to let her stay out too late. Katie was a tough mother to deal with. If she found out her daughter snuck out without her permission and spent dinner with him, she would lose her mind. Kaze was not afraid but Leah would have to suffer her mother’s wrath. “It’s getting late. We have to go back.” Leah liked the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant. She felt free of restraints while on the premises, but time flew by quickly, leaving her with little time to savor the experience. She wished she could enjoy more moments of peace and quiet while indulging in good food. “Do visit if you have time. We usually open at night only,” Master Fuller said when he noticed the heavy look on the girl’s face. “Great. I’m definitely coming again!” Leah then got up and headed out. Kaze then pulled his wallet out and wanted to pay for the meal. “Mr. Lee, what are you doing here?
Passersby would spare an extra glance at the expensive car but dared not pause to inspect further. The woman in the car looked anxious as she relentlessly tapped her fingers on the steering wheel. Katie was still waiting, hoping to find out who Master Fuller’s guests were. Her patience was thinning by the second. Since she picked up her daughter, everything had gradually slipped out of her control, and she hated the feeling. Back at the restaurant, Master Fuller and his guests were still chatting over delicious dessert. Kaze had a bite and was amazed by the taste. As expected of a national-level chef, his culinary skills could turn the simplest ingredients into the most amazing delicacy. “I thought this was just a normal sweet potato but there’s something else added inside.” After an enjoyable dinner, Leah finally had the chance to taste the final dish—the dessert, which appeared to be an ordinary sweet potato. When she peeled the skin and took a bite, she realized
