“Darcy Quint, your useless husband is dead!” Sherry’s voice was sharp and vicious. Danny grinned at Kaze in silence. After being insulted twice, Danny grew smart. He used his connections to hire bodyguards to protect him. Everyone else gasped in shock when they heard Sherry. One bodyguard was more than enough to take down a common man, yet there were more than ten of them. Everyone could already picture the devastating end for Kaze with his limbs torn and bones broken, begging Danny for forgiveness. They gloated at him. Darcy was afraid as well. She tugged Kaze’s sleeve and whispered, “Kaze, stop offending that man. There’s no point in winning the argument here. We have to figure a way out of this. Don’t worry, I won’t let him make you kneel. I’ll just find a way to compensate him, with money or whatever.” Darcy knew Kaze had a stubborn personality and would never bow to violence. Before Kaze could speak, she got up and apologized on his behalf. “Mr. Danny Tulip,
“Ms. Quint, actions have consequences. Your husband chose to oppose me and challenge Tulip Corporation, so you have to prepare for retaliation.” With bodyguards around, Danny was extremely confident and arrogant. He grinned and said, “Of course, you can choose not to accept my terms, but I hope you and your husband can bear the consequences.” He waved his hand at his bodyguards and they took a step forward. Even though they were wearing shades, Darcy could feel their ferocious gazes ripping her and Kaze to pieces. A murderous aura filled the room, the kind of intense air unique to veterans who had been on the battlefield. It did not only scare Darcy but also pressured all the other guests. The atmosphere in the hall grew so tense that it felt like a huge fight would break out at any moment. ‘Offending Danny had severe repercussions,’ a thought shared by many in the hall. “Darcy, don’t worry.” Kaze went to stand in front of Darcy casually, blocking the murderous aura
Danny’s voice was ferociously cold, and his anger made his teeth chatter. Many other guests were deterred and scared because they knew Danny was being serious. Splash! Sherry grabbed a glass of wine from the table and splashed Kaze’s face. “You useless piece of trash! Danny has agreed to spare your life yet you are still challenging him? Kneel and apologize or you will be destroyed!” she bellowed fiercely. “Hey! You! This is too much! Kaze didn’t even offend you!” Darcy argued. She quickly grabbed some napkins to wipe the wine off Kaze’s face and suit. Sherry crossed her arms and looked at Darcy proudly. “You stupid woman. You married a useless man and got yourself into this. You will only dirty Danny’s bed even if you’re allowed on it. You better worry about the consequences of offending Danny before coming after me.” She berated Darcy because she wanted Danny to lose interest in Darcy. “You!” Darcy pointed at Sherry angrily. Her personality and background would
Other than the embassy, Paladia’s highest authority in a foreign country would be the consulate in Arcadia. There were a few consulates of Paladia across Arcadia and one of them was in South River State. The consulate represented Paladia, yet Kaze demanded the consul to kneel and apologize to him. It was insane. “Trash, do you know who is the consul of Paladia in South River State? He is the strongest diplomat of Paladia, a soldier who has fought on the foreign battlefield, and you want him to apologize to you? Do you have a death wish?!” Adam was infuriated. He was gasping for air due to his anger. If he knew Kaze would be this audacious to challenge not only Danny but the consulate as well, he would never have let Darcy bring Kaze to the welcoming party. He could already picture how things would fall apart if those words reached Consul Harrison Ford and the consequences that would follow. A diplomatic disaster would ensue. As the main person of the welcoming party,
“Darcy Quint, I think you better start preparing your husband’s funeral!” Sherry could already picture Kaze’s funeral. Darcy’s face turned as white as a sheet upon hearing that. “Enough!” Danny stopped Sherry. He glared at Kaze and bellowed, “You Arcadian monkey! You have made a huge mistake by insulting Consul Harrison Ford! Before he arrives, I should do something on his behalf!” He then waved at his bodyguards. “Get this son of a bitch! He insulted the consul, Paladia, and me! Break his limbs!” The bodyguards looked at Kaze. The fear they felt from Kaze earlier discouraged them at first but as Kaze continued to spew unbelievable claims, the fear was replaced by anger. “Mr. Ford is our superior on the battlefield and he’s the future of Paladia! No one can insult him!” “Die, Arcadian monkey!” As the first bodyguard shouted, the others jumped at Kaze. “Kaze, run!” Scared, Darcy tried to pull Kaze away but Kaze darted in front of her and pulled her behind him.
Slap! Danny was sent to the ground. He felt numb and could not feel his face at all. Kaze did not let him go just yet. He grabbed Danny by the collar and broke the calf with a powerful stomp. “Aaaaargh!” Danny cried excruciatingly and fell on his knees before Kaze. Sherry was terrified when she noticed Kaze’s gaze on her. “W-What are you trying to do?” Kaze grabbed her and slapped her to the ground. He then lifted his foot and said, “I said I would make you lick the wine off my shoes.” “Y-You rubbish! What gives you the right? I’ll kill you!” Sherry shouted like a madwoman. However, after another slap, she was silenced and reluctantly moved closer to Kaze’s shoes. Danny, a member of the Paladian royal family, was on his knees while Sherry, a financial news anchor, was licking Kaze’s shoes clean. Everyone was shocked by the scene. What happened?“Kaze, do you know what you have done? How dare you slap Mr. Tulip and his plus-one? Are you declaring war against h
“Mayor Brooks, Jason Statham served Paladia with his blood and spirit! You have to hand over the culprit and let us sanction him, or else you will be hearing from the officials of Paldia!” At Lilyrose Detention Center, a man with a golden mane and beard was shouting at Johnson, exerting his superiority over the mayor. The man was Harrison Ford, the consul of Paladia. It was right then he received a call from Danny. Harrison was stunned when he heard Danny’s plea before he shouted back angrily. “Danny, you fucking bastard! You must have gotten in trouble and said those words to piss me off! An Arcadian monkey wants me to kneel and apologize? You fucking liar, I will kill you!” Harrison did not believe a word Danny said because it was impossible. “Harrison, stop shouting with that mouth of yours. Do you want to be the first consul of Paladia who dies in Arcadia?” Then, another voice came through the phone. The person gave him a death threat, which ignited the explosive
“Darcy, that’s what you get for indulging that idiot. He’s putting your whole family in trouble now. “If I were you, I would cut ties with him right away,” Adam told Darcy curtly.Pale in the face, Darcy said desperately, “Come on, Kaze. Let’s just go back to Horizon Mirror.” That was the only solution she could think of. With the chief commander’s guards on duty, Harrison, consul or not, would think twice before barging into the area. Nevertheless, that was just a quick fix to buy time before the entire issue was resolved. “Don’t be scared, babe. We’re not going anywhere. We will wait here for Harrison’s apology,” Kaze said with a smile while squeezing her hand. Darcy was lost for words. To think Kaze still smiled after landing himself in hot water. Gritting her teeth, she stayed put with Kaze. She was the chairman of two major corporations, and Kaze was the CEO of Hudson Investment firm. They were not vulnerable or powerless. In the worst-case scenario, they would
