Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 1111 - Bab 1120

The mayor, who was less than 30 years old, was meant for greater things in the next decade or so. Pierce suspected the mayor was Kaze. He had to stop his mind from going down the rabbit hole. It was at that moment he decided not to make things difficult for Kaze anymore. The last thing he wanted was to be caught in the crossfire. Pierce could get himself killed for clashing with the new mayor. As sweat rolled off his forehead, Pierce stole a glance at Kaze, who kept a blank face, and put away his gun like nothing ever happened. He then turned around and said, “Mr. Hicks, I need to attend to an emergency now. I believe you are more than capable of handling the situation.” All Pierce wanted was to stay on the sidelines without offending either party. He could not afford to get involved in a conflict of this level. “An emergency?” Lyon scowled and said in a chilling voice, “What could be more urgent than working for Mr. Glitter?“Don’t you want to be the police chie

“Oh? And who is this VIP?” Raising a brow, Kaze looked at Lyon with intrigue. He found it interesting. The Glitters were indeed a prestigious family with an extensive network. They kept sending people his way. Pierce, the deputy chief, came first, and now a VIP was on their way to the premises. However, Kaze was not bothered by the supposed VIP. He would knock all of them back. Today, Kaze was determined to hit the dignity out of Leigh. Sensing Kaze’s unconcerned demeanor, Lyon said with a smirk, “You’ll wipe that smirk off your face soon, Kaze.“The individual who is nearly here might not be some heavyweight to the Glitters. “But the individual is someone huge in a small city like Lilyrose.” Lyon got a call from Pierce, who had left a moment ago. Pierce said that he contacted an individual after leaving who could potentially get Leigh out of the situation. The person lived in another villa in the area. His name was Trent Fuller. Lyon knew who he was from the

“The new mayor of Lilyrose will show the old guy the utmost respect?” Kaze looked at Trent with a pretentious smile. “Oh, really? Who is he? I know nothing about him.” He found Pete’s statement hilarious because he was the new mayor. “You’re cocky, young man. Who are you?” Trent grimaced. Pierce called Trent for two reasons. In a way, this was his way of apologizing to the Glitters and making up for walking away when Kaze scared him. He also wanted Trent to find out who Kaze was. Hence, Pierce left out the information that Kaze might be the new mayor. Heck, he did not even let Trent know anything about Kaze. Trent knew nothing about Kaze. Lyon said angrily, “You’re the son-in-law of the Quints, Kaze. You were lucky to be the chairman of Shangrila Group thanks to your wife’s help. “I don’t know how you managed to seek Johnson’s favor. So you have a friend in high places. “Do you think you’re untouchable? “I’ll be honest with you. Your connections and social stat

Apart from Kaze and Draco, everybody else in the villa pricked up their ears. They wanted to know Johnson’s response. Maybe Trent’s stern tone pressured Johnson for an answer. The latter did not keep the crowd waiting for long. Johnson replied eagerly, “Why do you ask, Trent?“No, I’m not his friend in high places.” The urgency in his tone gave the impression of his keenness to dissociate from Kaze. Mocking gazes fell on Kaze. “Yesterday’s news?” “Now you know the extent of Mr. Fuller’s influence. Your friend dropped you without hesitation.”“Who do you think you are to be rude to Mr. Fuller? You’re asking for it.” “Mr. Fuller can crush you without lifting a finger.” Lyon and members of the Four Ocean Commerce Guild were left frustrated since Kaze’s arrival. Finally, Trent broke the cycle. They attacked Kaze with taunts and jeers to blow off steam. Trent turned to Kaze and said callously, “What do you have to say for yourself?” He expected to see Kaze turnin

“Johnson just hung up on you. Shouldn’t you learn your lesson by now, old man?” Kaze shook his head. Despite his age, Trent was stubborn and refused to admit he was wrong. “Hmph! Do you think I care about Johnson?” Trent said curtly, “He was only the mayor for a couple of years. He didn’t even get the hang of the job yet. “I’ll show you whose voice carries weight on the council.” Trent stubbornly thought Johnson was Kaze’s friend in high places. Johnson’s statement about not getting in Kaze’s business was just his way of washing his hands of the matter and humiliating Trent. Kaze was not powerful and well-connected as Johnson hinted. Otherwise, Kaze would not marry into an upper-middle-class family and take his wife’s last name. “I can say the word and make the Quints the public enemy, boy,” Trent threatened grimacingly. He would not let the matter go until Kaze yielded to him. Kaze furrowed his brows. He was disinterested in going around in circles with Trent.
