Reading the aggression in Billy’s tone, Rose knew the whole thing had blown out of proportion. She looked at Kaze worriedly and pulled out her phone. “I’ll call the cops, Kaze.” “Call the cops? I can promise you that his limbs will be broken before the cops get here.” Billy scoffed, scaring Rose to tremble and nearly drop her phone. “It’s okay. Trust me. Everything will be okay.” Kaze patted Rose’s shoulder before walking toward Billy. “Haha! The loser is wimping out. He’s about to kneel.” “Hurry up and do it! He’s better off crawling on his knees toward Billy.” Gavin and the others whistled with thrill. They got a rise out of seeing the arrogant moocher kneel. “I guess the slap didn’t help you get back to your senses, Billy,” ignoring the other annoying voices, Kaze approached Billy and said. Billy did not get what Kaze was saying at first. As Kaze raised his hand, Billy shouted angrily, “Don’t you dare!” He put his hand up to block Kaze. Kaze’s earlier attac
Billy was confused. He had been exposed to martial arts at a young age, and no opponent could ever beat him. The street gangs were no match for him. However, Billy could not evade Kaze’s attacks. “Move!” He shooed his students away, his body staggering. His ego was the only reason he was still standing. Gritting his teeth, Billy looked at Kaze. “I don’t want you to beg on your knees now.” Billy grabbed a beer bottle from the nearby table. “Wham!” The beer bottle fractured into fragments all over the floor. “Break those bottles now.” Billy pointed at Gavin and his people. Though unsure of Billy’s intention, they did as they were told. Shards of glass scattered across the floor in front of Billy.Billy looked at Kaze and pointed at the floor. “See that? I want to beat you up and make you kneel here all night.” “That’s creative, Billy.” “That’s right. The loser should kneel on the broken glass. That would show him for being stubborn.” Gavin and the others w
With Billy losing it, everybody knew that Billy had gone to the deep end. After the call, Billy glared at Kaze. “Just you wait, Kaze. I told Jumbo to bring backup from the martial arts school. You better pray that you live to see another day.” Jumbo was vice principal of Tensor Martial Arts School and Dwight’s right-hand man. Every time Billy stirred up trouble, Jumbo would be there to sort out the issues without alerting Dwight. Snapping out of their trances, Gavin and his group were back in high spirits. “Hear that, loser? Billy called his people at the martial arts school. They are all his father’s students. You’re done for.” “Kneel on the broken glass and beg for forgiveness. Maybe Billy might show you mercy.” “It’s pointless to beg and plead now. You’re dead meat for pissing Billy off.” The group sneered and looked at Kaze like he was a dead man. With Billy out for blood, Rose became terrified and tugged on Kaze. “You should leave, Kaze. Just leave us.” “It’s
Kaze said with a smile, “Yeah. He’s as obnoxious as you when you stirred trouble at Shangrila Group. You’re family for sure.” “Oh, Mr. Lee. Don’t be so quick to shut me down.” Startled, Dwight made his stance known. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lee. The bastard should’ve known better. “Could you pass the phone to him? I promise to rip into him and make him apologize to you.” Judging by Billy’s tone, he must be feuding hard with Kaze. Dwight was afraid Kaze would incapacitate Billy in a fit of rage. Furthermore, Billy was Dwight’s only son. “Apologize? If the matter could have been resolved with an apology, I wouldn’t have called you.” Kaze scoffed and terminated the call. Dwight called Kaze back several times, but the calls went unanswered. With Kaze putting down the phone, Billy clamored, “Go on. Make that phone call of yours. One call isn’t enough. I’m giving you time to make several more phone calls.” “I’m good.” Kaze shook his head. “One phone call is enough to crush y
A group of young men in martial arts uniforms showed up on the second floor. There must have been hundreds of them. The leader was a strong, burly, middle-aged man. His cold and severe eyes, which glinted with a hint of cruelty, could send shivers down everybody’s spine.He was Jumbo, the vice principal of Tensor Martial Arts School. “Over here, Jumbo!” Billy cried. He cocked his head back to face Kaze and said with a smirk, “See that, Kaze? They are from my dad’s school. They are less than a tenth of our members, but they should be enough to crush you.” Jumbo led the students into the place. Rose and Landon’s minds went blank in horror. On the contrary, Gavin, Yaryn, and the others got on their high horses. Billy pointed at Kaze. “Where are your people? Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Tell them to get here now. I’m going to destroy them all too.” With reinforcements by his side, Billy was cocky to no end. Not the least bit intimidated, Kaze said with a pr
No one saw that coming. Even Billy sat there dumbfounded. It took a while before he could reel in from the shock. He lifted his head and shouted at Jumbo exasperatedly, “Have you lost it, Jumbo? “I told you to hit Kaze. Why did you attack me?” Billy lost his respect for Jumbo. Anger and humiliation washed over him. Billy called Jumbo over to take care of Kaze. However, Jumbo slapped him to the ground instead. He must look silly and funny, sitting on the ground holding his face. “Huh? Didn’t Billy call you here? Why are you fighting among yourselves? “What’s going on here?” As if the situation was not bad enough, Kaze acted confused and asked with a smile. Kaze’s comment got Rose, who was nervous as hell, in stitches. She quickly closed her mouth in fright, her face blushing as she held back the laughter. “Ahh! You bastard! I’ll destroy you today, or my name isn’t Billy!” Billy went ballistic. Since he could not throw a tantrum at Kaze, Billy got up from t
The people around heard Dwight’s voice loud and clear from the phone’s loudspeaker. They turned to Kaze in disbelief. Dwight was well-known in the martial arts community. In fact, he was an influential figure in that respect. Yet, he showed Kaze with utmost courtesy and respect. He even sounded careful in his speech.Everybody thought Kaze was nothing but a moocher. Gavin, Yaryn, and the others scowled, their limbs shaking. It did not take them much to figure out that they had messed with the wrong guy. Fortunately, Billy was there to take the brunt. “Principal Tensor, your son didn’t just offend me.”Sinking his back against the couch, Kaze said indifferently, “He threatened the cousin of my wife that he would crush me unless she slept with him. “Even when he was rejected, he forced her to get with him. “It’s not a minor misbehavior. He’s committing a crime.” Dwight trembled, nearly dropping the phone. “Bastard! You make me so angry.” Dwight lashed out. Kno
Billy could not feel any worse. Despite the urge to swear, Billy held his tongue. “Is there anything I can do for you, Kaze?” Dwight asked. Dwight dropped the formalities to get closer to Kaze. “You did all the talking for me, Principal Tensor. I have nothing else to say.” Pleased with Dwight’s attitude, Kaze said, “That’s decided then. I’ll discipline your son on your behalf.” “Thank you, Mr. Lee.” Dwight thanked Kaze before shouting over the phone, “You better listen to Mr. Lee now, bastard. He’s only hitting you for your own good. “If you stir any more trouble, I will come in a wheelchair and skin you alive.” After tearing into his son, Dwight hung up. Kaze smiled at Billy and said cheekily, “Is there anything you want to say, boy?” Anger consumed Billy. Billy gritted his teeth, his veins popping. No word escaped his lips. “You look resentful.” Kaze got up, approached Billy, and slapped him to the ground. That was the sixth time Kaze hit him that nigh
