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
“Yes!” Rudy nodded. “Perfect World Group can’t do anything about it. I think the Construction and Material Society is making a comeback! “Now that the news of Darcy refusing to buy from the society and Dan Niners and his men working at our construction site has gotten out, the society would probably be embarrassed. This meeting would probably make us the common target.” Everyone in the family panicked. All the other families agreed to the Construction and Material Society’s terms except for the Quint family. Darcy was the person in charge of Passion Fragrance District and she was still trying to resist. If they attended the meeting tomorrow, Roger would definitely make an example out of them. “Father, we can’t escape from this anymore. If we don’t attend, Roger Hilfinger will have an excuse to target us. The problem is who shall attend the meeting.” Rudy then shot a gaze at his son, Samus. Samus said, “Grandfather, our family is not going. You should send the one who is
Hector was in his wheelchair and remained silent at his father’s scoldings. The others also shifted the blame on Hector. “Uncle Hector, if not for what you did back then, I would have already become one of the richest young men in the city! You really did drag us down!” Samus blurted his thoughts without qualms at the uncle that he respected the most when he was young. Deborah said, “Uncle Hector, you and your daughter are the same. Stubborn as a rock. And she’s going to drag us through the mud!” “You and your family are trying to drag us all down!” The other family members criticized Hector and vented their anger at him. Hector, Agnes, and Darcy were petrified as they were attacked by the merciless criticism. The extended family had been waiting for this for a long time. They had always wanted to blame Hector who ruined the company. Kaze felt terrible looking at his wife and in-laws being criticized yet unable to talk back. He then said coldly, “Roger Hilfinger? I’
Miru sounded delighted. Her attitude toward Kaze was totally different from yesterday. “Fine. I’ll buy you lunch.” Kaze was on the way to have lunch anyway. If he returned to Horizon Mirror now, Agnes would probably scold him again. He might not even enter the house, let alone having lunch there. “Where are you? I’ll go pick you up.” Kaze told Miru his location and she arrived after a while. Miru drove a Mercedes AMG that cost two million dollars and her arrival attracted much attention. A sweet lady driving such a big and sturdy car would easily turn heads wherever she went. Kaze opened the door and entered the passenger’s seat under the passersby's envious gaze. “Let’s go.” Miru drove off without asking Kaze, the one who was paying for lunch. At the same time, in the chairman's office of the Hilfinger Corporation, Roger leaned back in his chair as he spoke to Kelly, who was seated across from him.“How’s the preparation for tomorrow’s event going?” “Everythin
When Kaze came out of the car, he realized Lily Garden Hotel was decorated grandly today. The fiery red carpet rolled out to the front as if to welcome a VIP. Kaze was not concerned and headed in. With her slender long legs, Miru followed Kaze to the entrance. Manager Keegan was at the entrance talking to a group of hotel employees with his back facing them. “Manager, the boss is here. He’s with Ms. Miru Scarlet of the Lefteria Group,” notified one of the employees after Kaze and Miru were spotted. Miru was a regular at Lily Garden Hotel, or else she would not bring Kaze here to have lunch. The employees recognized the beautiful and rich lady. Manager Keegan immediately turned around when he heard the employee and led the others to bow at Kaze. “Mr. Lee, Ms. Scarlet, welcome.” Miru was surprised by the warm welcome. Despite being a regular at Lily Garden Hotel, the employees had never welcomed her with such courtesy, which caused her to overlook the fact that besi
Miru grunted in disdain. She tossed her car key to the chauffeur and walked inside. Kaze smiled without being concerned and followed her inside. The restaurant was located on the left side of the lobby. The two of them sat down at a quiet table. Miru picked up the menu and started ordering. First on her list was a bottle of wine that cost ten thousand, then air-flown caviar for two and some other dishes. The dishes she ordered cost around two hundred thousand. “That will be all.” Miru closed the menu and saw the bitter look on Kaze. “What’s wrong? The price scared you?” She thought Kaze was shocked by the price of the wine and the caviar, which delighted her. “Miru, I think you are just being rude. That’s all you ordered? It’s not even enough as an appetizer.” He was displeased by how few dishes Miru ordered. He took the menu and had a look himself. “A few more sets of caviar, and this, and this, this too. Make it double for all of them…” Kaze knew that high
“Madam, there he is!” One of Genesis’ men pointed at Kaze with an ashened look. Genesis looked in the direction he pointed and immediately spotted Kaze standing among the crowd, looking at hers indifferently. She grinned and walked over to him. “Kaze Lee, you’re still here even though you know I’m coming? I have to give it to your boldness. Today, no Kent Synder or Ryken Santigo is here to support you. Do you think you can walk out of here alive?” Her words silenced the entire hall, even the air felt like it stood still. It was a surprise that the daughter of the Weather family acted even more ferociously than the long-haired young man, who beat up and crippled Blackie in Buckridge Lounge and that was already terrifying. Now with Genesis, she claimed that she wanted Kaze dead. Many of the guests stared at Kaze in shock, puzzled over what he could have done to provoke such intense hatred from her. Could the live-in husband wronged her somewhat and they were romanticall
“So what if I want to push it? You think I won’t slap you because of the Weather family, because of Casius Weather, and because of Genesis Weather? “I’m telling you, now and here! I won’t let this go so easily! Not you, not Genesis, not anyone can tell me otherwise! “I am in charge here!” The long-haired young man slapped Patrick in the face again and again, landing red slap marks on both cheeks. Patrick was pushed back by the force and his face quickly swelled up. He covered his face but could not cover his anger. He bellowed, “Hey, my cousin is almost here! Show some respect!” Slap! The long-haired young man slapped him once more, sending him to the floor. “Respect? Fine. I’ll wait for your cousin and see what respect she can get.” Spat! The long-haired young man spat on Patrick before he wiped his hands with a wet towel. “Where’s Kaze Lee?! Get the hell out here!” Suddenly, a woman’s sharp voice sounded from outside the establishment. A ferocious-looking wo
“You piece of shit! How dare you tease the woman I brought here!” Smash! The long-haired young man smashed Max in the head again with another beer bottle. Max collapsed on the floor, twitching uncontrollably as life exited his body. “Patrick, save Max! That guy is beating him to death!” Maxine tugged Patrick’s arm as her face turned pale. She noticed his face was also pale and he did not respond at all. Anxious, she turned to the long-haired young man and shouted, “Stop it! My boyfriend is from the Weather family! One of the Riverbank Seven, Casius Weather, is his cousin! “Even if you are not afraid of Casius, my boyfriend’s other cousin is in charge of Tiger’s Cave office here in Riverbank! Her name is Genesis Weather! “Judging from your looks, I know you are from the upper circle too. Aren’t you afraid of the Tiger’s Cave? And, my boyfriend’s cousin is on her way here now!” She got carried away by the anxiety and spilled the beans, revealing that Genesis was on her
“Smash!” The beer bottle smashed into Blackie’s jaw. With a resounding crack, his jaw split open and he let out an agonizing scream. “You fuck!” Blackie shook his head strongly to keep himself conscious. As rage took over, he extended his arms to seize the long-haired young man once more. An ordinary man would be smashed unconscious by the bottle but Blackie was still standing strong and was able to retaliate. His body was as strong as a beast. However, his towering physique did not overwhelm the long-haired young man. The long-haired young man, who looked rather scrawny, did not move or dodge. Instead, he threw punches forward to counter Blackie’s grab. “Crack!” Another loud crack sounded. Surprisingly, it was Blackie’s hand that was broken. He cried in pain once more. The long-haired young man did not even flinch. He went along with the momentum to grab Blackie’s wrist and then twisted it. “Crack!” Both Blackie’s arms were snapped just like that. The lon
“If you don’t give me an explanation, this won’t end well for you! “What’s the matter? Playing dumb?” The young man with the long hair grinned. “You did it but you don’t have the balls to stand up for it? “Who was it?” He glanced at the woman covering her face. The woman stepped up and pointed at Max standing in the crowd. Her expression darkened as she said, “It’s him! He teased me and slapped me twice in the face!” Everyone looked at Max with a strange look. He teased the woman and then slapped her twice? What a jerk! Maxine and Patrick’s expressions turned ashen as embarrassment rose. Max was family, so all they could do was stare at him. “Nonsense! She slapped me first!” Max flushed with emotions. He knew it was embarrassing but he did it already, so his plan was to shift the blame. “You pretended to be drunk and teased her, you should be slapped.” The young man with the long hair looked at Blackie. “So you’re Blackie, Everett Techman’s man and also th
“Which asshole threw the bottle?!” Blackie scanned around the place to look for the culprit. His anger erupted as he bellowed, “Get the hell out here and kneel before me! Don’t let me find you, or else you won’t even know how you’ll meet your end!” His shouts echoed across the lobby. “Who was it?!” “How dare you do this in front of Blackie?! I am Patrick Weather and this is my party! You’re dead when I catch you!” Patrick and the others were also looking for the culprit. Patrick was infuriated. He booked the place for his party and he saw himself as the master of the event, yet someone threw a bottle at them, splashing beer all over him and his friends. “Hmph. Patrick Weather? Are you from the Weathers? The same family with Casius Weather? Bunch of losers! No wonder you have the balls to tease the woman I brought in.” Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a calm and lazy voice came from behind. Then, a group of men and women, dressed in hip-hop style, swaggered over. A f
“Kaze?!” Surprised, Rose turned around and realized it was Kaze who snatched her bottle. “Don’t you even try. I don’t need a little girl to drink on my behalf just so we can walk out,” Kaze said, and then he tossed the bottle away. “Crash!” The bottle shattered and the beer splashed onto Blackie’s pants. His expression turned dark. Meeting Blackie’s frosty gaze, Kaze said, “I said, I am not drinking and no one can make me. “Blackie, was it? A piece of advice, don’t fall for the distorted facts and pressure someone you don’t even know. It will get you into trouble, and it might even drag your boss into this mess. “And, I said I didn’t know Everett Techman, not because I don’t respect him, it’s because before today, I didn't even know his name at all. “Don’t tell me everyone in Riverbank must know his name. Your boss is from the underworld and if he’s doing illegal stuff, then keep a low profile. You can't expect to profit from illegal dealings and still demand respect an
“Hmph!” Blackie was slightly taken aback. As his gaze turned colder, he scoffed. “Interesting. I did not expect defiance in Buckridge Lounge. It seems like you Otters are not afraid of death.” His lips curled into a dangerous grin as he glanced at Maxine, his expression frosty and ruthless. Maxine shivered instantly. Her face paled as she shouted, “Kaze Lee! Blackie is ordering you to drink! Drink them or you will die! “You are the one who disrespects Mr. Techman! You started this! Shouldn’t you deal with the matter? Mr. Techman is merciful enough not to teach you a lesson himself, or else you will be beaten to death, if not crippled for life, before being thrown out of this place!” She was furious as she shouted, eagerly pressuring Kaze to apologize. She was afraid that Blackie might hold her family responsible. Technically speaking, Kaze was part of the Otters despite not being well-received internally, but others might not share the same opinion. “You guys talk it out
As he spoke, Blackie went up closer and grabbed a bottle of beer from the table. Usually, the beer bottle looked huge in a normal person’s hand but in his hand, it felt like a little torchlight. “Flick!” With a flick of his thumb, the cap was flung out. “If you finish every bottle of beer here, down to the last drop, you can walk,” Blackie said coldly as he shoved the bottle of beer forward. Rose gasped in shock. She glanced at the long table in front of the booth and saw the row of beer, whiskey, and all kinds of other alcoholic beverages. There were fifty bottles of beer. She knew how good of a drinker Kaze was. He was a lot stronger than the ordinary, but if he had to drink every bottle to the last drop, he might suffer from alcohol poisoning. Patrick, Maxine, and the others were initially disappointed when they thought Blackie was not going to teach Kaze a lesson. Now, they gloated at Kaze happily. If Kaze drank all the beers, he would certainly end up in the
