“It’s not the strategic department. It’s someone called Kaze Lee. He’s the son-in-law of the Quints and also the abandoned son of the Lees,” said the tall man as he handed a stack of documents to Magnus. The West State branch of the Viper’s Den was able to gather every detail on Kaze from the moment his name popped up. Magnus went through the documents swiftly and his expression turned bitter. A useless man who married into a second-tier family was able to defeat Hannah, whom Magnus had high hopes for, and seized the Nether Viper Sword openly. How did it happen? Magnus was not overly concerned about Kaze being the abandoned son of the Lees. His men were mostly from wealthy families, and a lot of them were from the South River State. “Sir, what should we do now?” the tall man asked. Magnus gave the document back and said, “The Nether Viper Sword is our organization’s sacred weapon. Even though it’s just a replica, we cannot afford to let it be in someone else’s possessio

Soon, Trent arrived at the city council. He stood before the main entrance and started to reminisce about the past. He had been working in the city council for twenty-plus years and even after he retired, he missed the power that he used to own. He missed controlling the city with his own hands. When Johnson was in office, things were still peaceful because Johnson respected him and would visit during festive seasons. It made Trent feel like he was still relevant. However, when the young mayor took over, things changed. The young man did not show any respect to him. In fact, he had yet to meet the young mayor in person until now. Today, things would no longer be the same. “Master Fuller, w-what are you doing here?” Caleb and Lou came out when they got the news. They were surprised by the unannounced visit. “What’s the matter? I can’t visit now that I am no longer the mayor?” Trent showed no respect to Caleb and Lou, who he deemed were the young mayor’s loyal d

“President Quint?!” Astral was shocked when he saw Darcy. His eyes widened oddly as he stared at Pete. “Pete, don’t tell me the nice thing you were referring to is President Quint…” Just when Darcy was wondering why Pete would bring her to Landor Residence, she spotted Astral. She stared at Pete coldly and asked, “What is the meaning of this?”’ “You don’t know? You are the main dish tonight!” Pete grinned as he scrutinized Darcy from top to bottom. He then turned to Astral and scoffed, “Astral, I heard you got beef with Kaze Lee. I got his wife here and I’m sharing her with you. What do you say?” Darcy was infuriated by Pete’s diminishing words but her angry look aroused him even more. Astral glanced at Darcy’s stunning looks and voluptuous body. His heart raced for a moment before it skipped a beat when he thought of Darcy’s husband. “Pete, I have to give it to you. You really know how to court death.” Astral looked at Pete as if he was a corpse. Only those

“You fuck, you hit me?!” Astral covered his face, shouting at Pete. He did not expect someone who had been trying to impress and flatter him would slap him in the face. What gave him the nerve? Thump! Pete stomped on Astral’s face. “So what? Who do you think you are? The eldest son of the Glitter family? I’m scared. Hahaha! My family is a distant relative of Magnus Fuller. With him on our side, why the fuck should I care about you anymore? “I slapped you in the face because you deserved it! You stupid ass! Look at yourself in the mirror, you moron!” Pete continued stomping as he scolded Astral. The more submissive he had been in front of Astral, the more arrogant he was now. The moment he seized power, his arrogance skyrocketed. It reflected his character a lot. Throughout the entire process, the Viper’s Den agents watched with a grin on their faces. They looked down on Pete and the likes of him, but they did not want to intervene. Quite the opposite, they fel

“Stop it right there!” The Viper’s Den agents were alarmed and quickly stepped in to prevent Kaze and Darcy from leaving. Kaze frowned. Leaving immediately was no longer an option, so he tapped Darcy’s shoulder and said, “Conan is outside waiting for me, go.” “Be careful, Kaze… Ugh!” Darcy covered her mouth as her face turned pale. She nodded reluctantly and ran outside the building. Back at the abandoned factory in the suburbs, she saw many dead Zion mercenaries but she did not react this strongly because she did not see the wounds or cuts on the bodies. Pete’s case was different because the entire scene happened right before her eyes with the bloody arm falling off. After Darcy left the building, Kaze turned around to the agents and looked at them calmly. “You guys trying to make me stay?” “You cut someone’s arm off in front of us and you’re trying to walk away like nothing happened? What’s on your mind?” the leader of the group questioned Kaze. When he saw the Neth
