Yaryn was delighted, assuming Rose would forgive her. To her dismay, the exact opposite happened. She nearly blew up. In the heat of the moment, she lashed out, “You’re a bitch, Rose! You pretend to be a saint, but the truth of the matter is, you’re petty as—” “Smack!” Jumbo slapped Yaryn, and the woman, her hair a falling mess, let out a shriek. Kaze glanced at Gavin’s group and yelled, “Do you want him to do it for you?” “Smack!” Gavin and the others shuddered and started whipping their faces without hesitation. Jumbo grabbed Yaryn by the hair and slapped her repeatedly. The sound of slapping went on. Soon, the group’s face was bruised and battered. “Hey, Billy. Has the loser given in yet? I hope you didn’t kill him.” A voice came from the stairwell. Taz swaggered up the stairs with a smile. He saw Billy kneeling on the ground and Gavin’s party slapping their own faces. Kaze, who was supposed to be in Billy’s position, sat on the couch, alive and well.
Taz’s unfinished words became agonized screams as Billy knocked him to the ground. “Wham!” Billy kicked Taz in the belly and yelled menacingly, “Kaze even attacked the heirs of the Lees. Your dad is just one of the Lees’ lapdogs. As if that counts for something.“I can’t believe you used me, bastard!” Kaze admitted to crippling Narian. That was the reason why Billy went after Taz. Come hell or high water, Kaze had Billy covered. Without any reservations, Billy punched and kicked Taz. He had nothing against Kaze. Due to Taz’s instruction, Billy got a beating from Kaze. Billy took out all his anger and resentment on Taz. Taz was covered in bruises in a minute. He did not even have time to catch his breath. “J-Just you wait! My dad will make you pay! The Lees will not turn a blind eye to this!” Even so, Taz did not yield to Kaze. Kaze was impressed with the boy’s tough act. He got up, drew close, crouched down, and patted Taz’s face. “You urged Billy to go after
Billy got a rise out of Taz passing out from the pain. It was a reminder to himself not to act cocky again. He might not be as lucky to escape Taz’s fate if he ran into a competent and discreet man like Kaze again. “Carry him out. Call the emergency line to pick him up and contact Lee Investment.” With the wave of Billy’s arm, the martial arts students held Taz up. Taz whimpered in pain from the bumpy ride of being carried out. Kaze had washed his hands clean and walked out of Bay Club. A crowd blocked the entrance. Close to a hundred martial arts students entered the club. Worried about a potential fight breaking out, the patrons ran out in fright so as not to be caught in the crossfire. They curiously looked inside and chatted among themselves. The incident happened on the second floor, so Kaze’s presence did not attract anybody’s attention. The crowd had no idea the ordinary man was the cause of the bloodshed tonight. Kaze’s keen senses picked up on Rose and
The young man got up from the ground and glared at Kaze. “You must be the loser son-in-law of the Quints Mr. Hobbs was talking about.” “Talk about an ambush. How dare you slap me.“Kneel before me and apologize, or Mr. Hobbs will kill you when he gets out,” the young man shouted at Kaze menacingly. Furrowing his brows, Kaze struck him again without another word. “Smack!” The young man was sent flying, coughing out blood. “Whack! Bam!” Wasting no time, Kaze slapped anybody, be it a man or woman, out of the way. The crowd wailed in pain. “You won't get just one hit if you block the way again,” Kaze said coldly and led Rose away. Landon followed them and asked in horror, “Where’s Taz, Kaze?” Before leaving the club, he saw Kaze instructing Billy to punch Taz. In Landon’s opinion, Kaze was done for. Taz’s father was the president of Lee Investment. Samson would surely make Kaze pay for hurting his son. However, Kaze exited the premises unscathed while Taz was now
Even though Kaze was clueless as to what happened, he took Rose and Landon home right away. The tension was thick at home. Agatha was chatting away with Agnes with a gloating smile. When she cocked her head back, she had no more reason to smile. “Jesus, Landon. What happened to you? Did you fall, or did someone hit you?” Agatha rushed over to hold her son. At closer inspection, Agatha noticed the handprints on both sides of his cheeks and his bloodied lips. Judging by the footprints all over his body, Landon must have taken a severe beating. “Oh, my poor Landon.” Agatha hugged Landon and cried. After the tear shed, she yelled at Kaze, “Landon went out with you, Kaze! How did he get injured on your watch?“You’re such a loser. You can’t do anything right. “I’ll make you pay if anything happens to Landon!” Kaze went to pour himself a drink, not wanting to waste his breath with her. He was blamed for not watching out for Landon. Yet, Agatha never taught Landon to re
“Uncle Adam is in Lilyrose, and he wants to see Kaze?” Darcy frowned and looked at Kaze in shock. She never got good vibes from her mother’s side of the family. The Otters disapproved of Agnes’ marriage to Hector. Hence, both families were in low contact. Darcy had only met her mother’s side of the family a handful of times. Only when Darcy got together with Kaze, the Otters suddenly wanted to be in the Quints’ lives. Following Kaze’s accident and Agnes’ subsequent firing due to a medical mishap, Caster, the head of the household, forbade Agnes from ever returning home, believing she had brought shame to the family name. In other words, Agnes was disowned by her family. The incident haunted Agnes for life. Both families had cut ties since then. Only Agatha’s family kept in touch with the Quints secretly. Darcy recalled that her uncle, Adam Otter, was the head of a healthcare system, and that was all she knew. “Don’t look at me, babe. I don’t know what’s going on.”
“Darcy, your Uncle Adam is a proud man. You better choose some good words in front of him and make him look good,” Agatha said to Darcy and Kaze. She even revealed that even though she was the youngest, which supposedly was the beloved child, her status was nowhere near her brother. Their father loved the son more than the daughters. “Got it, Aunt Agatha. Mom, we are going out.” After assuring her mother and aunt, Darcy brought Kaze out. She and Kaze went to Sky Ocean Corporation to choose a gift for Adam. The office was filled with expensive presents, given to them by other companies who worked with them. Darcy accepted the less expensive but decent ones. In the end, Darcy picked a branded pen as a gift for her uncle. She and Kaze then headed to Noble Hotel. Adam came to Lilyrose for a business trip. Delivering the message from the Lees, demanding Kaze to release Cosmo was purely out of convenience. He was working as the vice chief of the Sunrise City’s Ministry
The people surrounding Adam recognized Darcy immediately as she caught their attention. “Isn’t that Darcy Quint of Sky Ocean Corporation? She’s here for the party as well?” “Ms. Quint, I have heard a lot about Sky Ocean Corporation lately. Even Professor Whiteman agreed to be your ambassador for Mountain Dew Estate…” Darcy’s status in the business world skyrocketed ever since she acquired both Quartet Group and Sky Ocean Corporation. Even the influential figures in the medical field dared not take her lightly, let alone the representatives from the hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. All of them wished to form a connection with Darcy, the rising star in the business field. “Thank you everyone…” Darcy smiled and nodded at everyone politely even though she did not know any of them. Bang! While the people were trying to flatter Darcy, there was a loud bang from the closing car door behind. Kaze, in a set of handsome suits, came down from the car. His presence sil
