Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 3131 - Bab 3140

“It’s like a fish in water, a tiger in the woods. To the Steelclaw Guild, at least in Riverbank, no one can stop them if they want to leave.” Kaze nodded, agreeing to Leron’s explanation. He quickly put the thought of pursuit aside. The Steelclaw Guild had been around for many years and its existence and strong influence became answers to many questions. “Let’s go back to Riverbank,” Kaze said to Darcy. Darcy looked hesitant. She carefully looked around and asked, “We’re just going back like that? Should we call the bodyguards or something?” She was terrified about what just happened and she still had not completely calmed down. She became aware of her surroundings and cautious of the people who appeared before her, assuming that they were people with malicious intentions. Kaze knew that she was under high pressure and anxiety for the past two days, especially after what happened. Siberian’s assassination attempt only made her condition worse. It all started with Aiden’

“Aiden Krad? Why is a man like you threatening a woman? You call that capable?” Kaze took the phone and said, “Tomorrow at the auction, I will make you kneel and beg in front of me.” “Kaze Lee?” Aiden was taken aback for a moment before he realized he was speaking to Kaze. “How dare you speak to me like that? You must have a death wish.” “Fuck off.” Kaze hung up the phone immediately. “Don’t worry about that.” As he handed the phone to Darcy, he tapped her shoulder and said, “Tomorrow, Aiden Krad won’t even have the tears to shed.” Darcy might or might not have listened to Kaze. Her brows remained furrowed along the way back. She got a few calls during the journey but she did not answer them all. Kaze’s phone rang a few times as well. One was from Agnes, but since he did not know what his mother-in-law was up to, he refused to answer. When they almost reached Sky Ocean Corporation, Darcy slowly regained her composure and senses. “Ring!” Darcy’s phone rang

“Hmph! You’re trying to hide it? How long do you think you can keep this up?” Joan crossed her arms and scoffed. “Everyone in Riverbank knows that you’ve offended the Krads and are being sanctioned right now. “The bank cut off your loans and the suppliers refused to work with you. Sky Ocean Corporation is in a huge financial crisis and might be facing bankruptcy!” Darcy frowned. “Joan, Sky Ocean Corporation’s financial status is none of your business.” “Yeah, but it’s Madam Quint’s business!” Joan scoffed. “Darcy, don’t you forget that you are the branch head of the Quints and your duty is to make money for the family. “Madam Quint came all the way here to Riverbank from Ridgesouth because she is representing the family to inspect your work! Yet look what you've done! Why don’t you look in the mirror and see who you are? How dare you offend Aiden Krad and oppose the Krads? You’re ignorant! “One word from them and Sky Ocean Corporation is facing bankruptcy! Don’t forget th

“Why do you think the Krad family sanctioned Sky Ocean and did not eliminate it entirely? It’s because of the Quint family!” Phoenix spoke with utmost righteousness, as if Sky Ocean Corporation belonged to the Quint family. “Is that so?” Kaze shook his head and said, “If Aiden Krad knows Sky Ocean belongs to the Quint family, would he even try to stop us by using dirty tricks? “Can I also assume that in Riverbank, or in the entire West State, no one actually takes the Quint family seriously?” His words silenced the entire meeting room. Kaze was practically challenging the entire Quint family. Phoenix was stunned by the disbelief and anger. She raised her shaking hand and pointed at Kaze, shouting, “Y-You! How dare you! The Ridgesouth Quints are one of the top ten families in Arcadia! You shall not insult us!” Kaze chuckled. “Me? I am not insulting you—it’s Aiden Krad and his family. He knows my wife is a Quint but he still threatened her to drop out of the auction. “G

“Aaaaagh!” Phoenix cried in shock, her voice carried a sense of fear. Everyone else was startled by the loud crack, but they quickly realized that the whip had not struck Phoenix. It was merely a blank snap! Yet it was enough to terrify Phoenix, reducing her to tears. Realizing the whip did not hit her, Phoenix was stunned for a moment before she regained her composure. She looked at Kaze in shock, her body shaking as she stammered, “Y-You…” She was furious and horrified, embarrassed and aggrieved. She really thought Kaze would whip her. “Grandaunt, it’s just a joke. I respect my elders, why would I hit you with the whip? If I scared you, I apologize,” Kaze said with a smile. He even bowed to show his sincerity. He then straightened up and tossed the bloody whip away. He looked straight into Phoenix’s eyes and said, “Sky Ocean belongs to my wife, Darcy Quint. The Quint family had not provided any help in its expansion and growth. “Therefore, whatever decision Darcy
