“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
“Thump!” Behind Harrison, a dozen of his crew kneeled together with him. “Um…” The spectacle threw everybody else for a loop. It was unbelievable. Harrison, the consul of Paladia, kneeled before Kaze instead of getting even with him. Many rubbed their eyes, wondering if their eyes deceived them. “That’s impossible!” Danny yelled horrifically, and his despair was clear in his voice. His life was over at that point. Harrison was a national hero. As the consul, he represented Paladia.Yet, he was quick to kneel before Kaze. “How could that be? How did it happen? Who the hell are you?” Sherry freaked out. Paladia was the land she had always wanted to be in. Her biggest dream was to get a green card and immigrate there. She did not believe Arcadian men were good enough for her. Sure, Sherry was involved with some men, but she only saw them as tools for her own gains. Yet now, Kaze crushed Danny, the pseudo-aristocrat, while Harrison, a consul, groveled at Kaze
“Argh!” Danny yelled in agony. No Arcadians on the scene pitied him. If not for Harrison, they would not have known that Danny turned to Arcadia to scam the people because he could not make a living in Paladia. Their cheeks burned with shame as they defended Danny when Kaze called him trash. Adam was upset. He sucked up to Danny moments ago. Smack!Bam!Harrison roughed Danny up, only stopping once he believed Danny had enough. Danny sank to the ground without the energy to scream anymore. His eyes bulged resentfully at Kaze. Danny could not understand why Harrison would revere Kaze. He was not the only one puzzled. No one could figure the situation out. Everybody wondered if Kaze was more than he let out to be. Nevertheless, the fact that Harrison, the Paladian Consul General, was so intimidated by Kaze and considered him to be on the same level as the Queen of Paladia was beyond the imagination of those present.“Are you happy with that, sir? If not, I don’
Harrison represented Paladia, and the last thing he wanted was for the embarrassing incident to become public knowledge. Besides, Harrison knew how to take a hint. Since no one seemed to be aware of Kaze’s identity, Harrison understood that Kaze preferred to keep a low profile. Hence, Harrison was sure Kaze would not want word to get out either. Everybody was too scared to make the incident public. They would not be able to make the consul apologize on his knees like Kaze. Once Harrison was gone, the crowd was relieved and looked at Kaze with complex emotions. The man who took his wife’s last name sure gave everybody something to think about tonight. “I’m sorry, Mr. Lee, Ms. Quint. I want to apologize for my earlier disrespect. I shouldn’t have been so quick to judge. I hope you can forgive me.” Many who took jabs at Kaze and Darcy moments earlier came seeking forgiveness. Those who took things too far even kneeled on the ground. The consul of Paladia had dropped to
Adam’s mind wandered back to the recent event. Sure enough, Kaze said something vaguely on the phone which scared Harrison to apologize on his knees. The whole thing was absurd and defied common sense. Besides, Darcy tried to drag Kaze to take cover in Horizon Mirror in case of an act of revenge. The chief commander placed the area under heavy guard. Chief Commander Lang was the God of War’s right-hand man. In other words, Darcy’s family had gotten into the habit of using the God of War’s name to get what they wanted. “That bastard! How dare he lie to me!” Adam was furious to be fooled. “Do you get it now, Adam?” George burst out laughing and said, “Just turn up the heat on the idiot to release Cosmo and make a personal apology. “He has less than an hour left in the three-day time limit. “We will not allow the idiot to ask for more time. “I will try and get in touch with Harrison to expose Kaze’s lies.“My family and I won’t have to lift a finger because the
“You’re asking for it, bastard!” Adam heaved angrily because Kaze was not in despair despite his exposed lies. “I’m telling you now, Kaze. The Lees are in contact with Harrison about you posing as the God of War.“If you don’t want Harrison to kill you, you should wise up in letting Cosmo go and apologizing to the Lees in person. “They might just save you since you were part of the family.” Adam then turned to Darcy. “Your idiot husband can’t think straight. You should talk some sense into him before he harms your entire family.” “Kaze, maybe you should release Cosmo.” Darcy gave Kaze a yank. She did not want to see Kaze confront a mammoth presence like the Lees. Harrison was a terrifying figure, but he was a foreigner without strong ties to Arcadia. The Lees were a different story. As an affluent family, the Lee family was well-established and connected. They had many ways to hurt them. Kaze sighed. “I don’t want to fight the Lees, but they won’t get off my back
Adam was stunned. Kaze’s way of thinking was too complex for Adam to grasp.Before Adam could say anything, Kaze told Johnson, “Ask Harrison for a little favor, Johnson. “You work for the government, so it won’t look good on you to take the law into your own hands.” Adam smirked in rage. “Kaze, the Lees have exposed your lies to Harrison. I can’t believe you expect Harrison to do your bidding. “He might be on his way back to kill you.” “We shall wait and see.” Kaze smiled. Back in Lilyrose Detention Center, Harrison went through the formalities for Jason’s and his crew’s release. He received a phone call when leading them out of the detention center. “Hello, Mr. Ford. I’m George, the head of the Lee family.” Knowing who George was, Harrison said courteously, “What can I do for you, Mr. Lee?” “Here’s the thing. I need to tell you something, Mr. Ford.“The young man you met at the hotel tonight is Kaze Lee. You thought he was the God of War and kneeled before him.
