“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.
Jason was still limping from his injuries, but that did not stop him from dealing with a defenseless man like Cosmo. He lifted Cosmo and broke his legs. “Argh! Save me, Dad!” Cosmo’s harrowing screams filled the air. George observed his son’s dismal fate on the phone, his eyes bulging. “Watch this.” Back at the hotel, Kaze handed his phone to Adam which played a video sent by Harrison. Adam took the phone for a look, and soon, he grimaced. Harrison went through with breaking Cosmo’s legs. That was the last thing Adam expected from Harrison. Adam dumped the phone back to Kaze. He said angrily, “Idiot! Do you think the Lees will let you get away with it? They will make you pay! Just you wait!” Adam refused to believe that Kaze was the God of War. It was likely that the Lees did not manage to get a hold of Harrison. “Since you work for the Lees, you can let them know that the punishment on Cosmo is my final warning. They have one month to comply with my demands
Adam’s words did not sit right with Sam. Sam was lured under the false pretense of discussing the healthcare market, only to find himself expected to provide medical treatment.Seeing that Adam, a high-ranking officer in the health department, was enlisted to help, the patient must be wealthy and important. Sam could not stand patients who pulled strings to get what they wanted. Nevertheless, saving lives was still Sam’s priority. He asked patiently, “Who is the patient?” “Sam, the patient he’s talking about is likely Narian, and now Cosmo too,” Kaze said curtly. Kaze was surprised that the Lees had not given up on getting Sam to treat Narian. He turned to Adam and said indifferently, “You might not know, but I am the one who fractured Narian’s legs.“You can leave now. Sam will not treat any member of the Lee family.” Adam was stunned. Word that Narian was crippled had gone around the privileged community of Sunrise City. Adam did not expect the assailant to be Ka
Adam had pissed Kaze off for the last time. He had been pushing his luck the whole night. Kaze would have smacked anyone else a long time ago. However, he let it go because Adam was Darcy’s uncle. Yet now, Adam threatened that Agnes would not be allowed back with the family unless Darcy divorced him. That was where Kaze drew the line. Kaze narrowed his eyes and headed straight toward Adam. “Kaze!” Darcy pulled him back and shook her head with worry. She was concerned that Kaze’s drastic response would stir more trouble. With Kaze staying put, Darcy turned to look at Adam. She took a deep breath before uttering, “Get over yourself, Uncle Adam. “No one can step into my marriage to Kaze, not even my parents.” Darcy’s tone was firm and resolute. She then took off together with Kaze. Adam stood there, his face ashen. Kaze and Darcy humiliated him tonight. Adam did not believe he had done anything wrong. In fact, Kaze and Darcy had been aggressive all night. “
