Leigh’s villa sat on the hillside of Landor Lake. Located on high ground, the residential building offered a birds-eye view of the city. Rushing to the entrance, Leigh went ballistic upon seeing photos raining down from the city center above.It would be a social suicide for Darcy if the public viewed compromising photos of her. The woman, titled the hope of Lilyrose, would become the disgrace of Lilyrose. Leigh would destroy every last ounce of her dignity. Yet now, his private photos with Loren and others had become public instead. He was the one experiencing social suicide. Leigh was foaming. “Smack!” Snapping out of his thoughts, Leigh slapped Max, who joined him at the door, in the face.“Bastard! Call Loren, the bitch, now and ask her what’s going on!” Leigh shouted menacingly. Max teared up, knowing he was in for hell after the botched job. Leigh punched and kicked him as he recoiled in fear and pulled out his phone shakily to give Loren a call. His calls
The exposure of his private photos did not bother Leigh. He was only fuming because Kaze played him like a fiddle. That was all there was to it. Leigh stared at Kaze with chilling eyes. He said curtly, “You have two choices, Kaze. “Either break yourself, or your wife comes with me. “If you don’t make your choice, just imagine yourself as this chair. Leigh grabbed a chair and gave it a good kick. “Smash!” The wooden chair shattered, and its splinter scattered across the floor. Leigh was pretty fit. The chair was not made of solid wood, but no ordinary individual could crush it with a single kick. Leigh split the chair to intimidate Kaze. “That’s amazing, Mr. Glitter.” The members of the Four Ocean Commerce Guild applauded Leigh’s prowess. “Break your limbs to atone your sins to Mr. Glitter, Kaze.”“I heard you caused a scene on set. I should be honest with you that Loren’s bodyguards aren’t stronger than Mr. Glitter.” “Mr. Glitter is the student of Gar
“Bang!”As Kaze’s palm met Leigh’s fist, Leigh froze. The immense pain entered his knuckles and traveled across his arm to his brain. “Argh!” Before Leigh knew it, a cry escaped his lips. Kaze’s hand made its way straight to Leigh’s face. “Smack!” Leigh fell back on his butt and stared at Kaze in shock. His face went numb. “Uh…” Members of Four Ocean Commerce Guilt, who were clamoring before, were dumbfounded. Leigh was strong and the student of a great martial artist in Sunrise. He even smashed a chair with just one kick. All Kaze was, was a brute amateur. Yet, he was able to slap Leigh to the ground. They were not the only ones finding reality hard to accept. Leigh, sitting on the ground, flipped out. He was destroyed with a single slap after singing his own praises. Leigh was furious, to say the least. He got back up from the ground and glared at Kaze. “How dare you ambush me, Kaze!” Leigh could not accept the fact that Kaze took him, a highly traine
“Mr. Glitter, you’re the undefeated student of a great martial artist.“Why can’t you evade my sneak attacks? “I must say, I’m disappointed that you are so weak. “I thought you have been training since you were a child. Is that all you can do?” Kaze stomped on Leigh’s chest, pinning him to the ground while hurling insults to strip him of his dignity. He was simply returning the favor to Leigh after what he did to the officers. The words cut Leigh like a knife. “Why?“Who is your teacher? Who taught you to fight?” Leigh hissed through clenched teeth, his eyes fixating on Kaze. He could still lie to himself before. However, reality sunk in that he was no match for Kaze. Still, he was not convinced Kaze was powerful. Kaze must have learned from a skillful fighter. While there did not seem to be a rhyme or reason for his attacks, Kaze was able to strike where it hurt the most. “Sorry to disappoint, Mr. Glitter. I’m just an amateur. I didn’t learn from some great mar
Max could not sit by and do nothing. The Glitters would inflict pain on him if he allowed Kaze to break Leigh on his watch. Hence, Max pointed at Kaze and threatened, “Think twice before you do anything, Kaze. “I admit that you have power and connections here. It makes sense that Mr. Glitter lost to you. “But don’t forget who he is. “I have contacted Mr. Glitter’s father. Do you know that you have pissed him off? “The fact that you and your wife run a few companies and boss Don around is no reason to do whatever you want.“The Glitters will bury you.“You can’t afford to face their wrath,” Max said sternly. Realization struck the group from Four Ocean Commerce Guilt. Only the rich and powerful ruled. So what if Kaze could fight? The criminal bosses had combat skills, but they did all the labor for the affluent family. “You will be making the Four Ocean Commerce Guild an enemy too, Kaze.” “Don’t let your little wins go to your head. We’re not living in the age be
“Argh!” Leigh let out a harrowing cry. Kaze broke his arm. “What are you doing, Kaze? Stop!” The hair-raising scream scared Max, making him weak in the knees. He quickly flipped out. “Do you know what you’re doing? “I told you that the new police chief is almost here. I can’t believe you’d make things worse for yourself.” Kaze glanced at Max and said with a smile, “I’m curious. Are you feuding with the Glitters?“His life is in my hands, but you kept getting on my nerves anyway.“If I were you, I would kneel and beg, not stir the pot.” Kaze then lifted his foot for another stomp. He stepped on the same area, causing further damage to Leigh’s broken arm. “Kaze!” Max shrieked with fright. Leigh groaned and unleashed his anger. “You’re a bastard, Max! Are you trying to get me killed? “Didn’t you hear him telling you to kneel?” Thump! Max fell to his knees without another word. “K, bro, please. Don’t hurt Mr. Glitter anymore.” Despite his pleas, Max did not hi
Several men in police uniform entered the residence. A rugged middle-aged man led the group of police officers. He was Pierce Woodcock, second-in-command in the city police force. Another group walked into the residence after Pierce’s team. The group was built like tanks. It was clear they were trained for combat. The middle-aged man with a ruddy appearance was the leader of the group. With his hands clasped behind his back, he exuded a dangerous aura.He set foot into the living room and frowned at the people kneeling. His eyes narrowed menacingly when he saw Leigh under Kaze’s foot. “There you are, Lyon. Save me. I’m so angry. I will destroy this guy!” lying on the ground, Leigh shouted excitedly.The middle-aged man was Lyon Hicks, the Glitters’ highly-paid aide. Wealthy families would hire aides for security and problem-solving. The rich and powerful would employ many aides to safeguard the family from harm. Lyon was more than an aide to the Glitters, thoug
Leigh’s cries could not drown out Kaze’s nonchalant speech. Lyon felt for Leigh. It was shocking enough that Leigh, a wealthy heir, was trampled under Kaze’s foot. Though faced by Lyon, one of the four titans in Sunrise City sent by the Glitters, Kaze continued to torture Leigh like no one else’s business. Kaze’s behavior was more than arrogant. He was taunting the Glitters in their faces. He had never seen the Glitters as a threat right from the start. Even Lyon was speechless. He thought that he could make Kaze surrender and resolve the issue quickly just by showing up. His identity spoke for itself. However, things had gotten out of hand. “You are cocky, boy.” Lyon looked coldly at Kaze, his eyes menacing. “But your attitude had better reflect your competence. “You are stepping on the heir of the Glitters. “His father, Zel, has power that can rival the head of the household. “He is also a council member of the Four Ocean Commerce Guild. He has sway over
Morris was in his study, wiping a plaque of commandments that was covered in dust. Due to his commitment to the Viper’s Den, he had neglected his family for years and left his son in his wife’s care. Morris regretted doing so. Unaware of the impending danger, Clemont enjoyed drinks with his friends. They were having fun, playing drinking games. Losing the game, Clemont downed a glass of liquor. Things could get far and exciting in a game. It was then that the door swung open. Clemont’s driver entered the room. “Young Master Siegfried, the master is waiting for you at home,” the driver said, noting the complexity of the situation. The only thing on his mind was to take Clemont away. Tipsy from the drinks, Clemont waved his arm. “Let him wait. What’s the rush to get home?” Clemont’s friends were shocked. Nothing scared Clemont like his father. However, Clemont toughened up for once. “Young Master Siegfried, why don’t you call it a night?” “Yeah. I’m sur
“What’s that supposed to mean? When have I ever made a mistake?” Morris heard nothing of that sort. It could only mean that his people had done nothing wrong. However, Edmund could not possibly get aggressive on the phone. Something must have happened, and he simply had no idea. Morris felt unsettled like something big was about to happen. “You seem to be lax when managing your people. You don’t seem to know what goes on around your house.“Is your age getting to you? Is that why you can’t handle most of the work? If you can’t get your own house in order, how will you ever manage the Viper’s Den Westeros Branch?” Edmund called to say his piece. It was his way to make Morris step down. Though it was likely that Morris would resign, Edmund could at least make things unpleasant for him. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Morris was completely in the dark, but Edmund must hold some secret to act so cocky. Despite his troubled feelings, Morris kept his cool and calmly aske
Since it was a rare opportunity, Edmund had to settle the score with them properly. He knew opportunities like this were hard to come by so he had to seize them well. “I understand. I will take care of the guest,” Rosie said. She was glad that her information was useful to her boss. After Edmund hung up the phone, Rosie then looked at the unconscious Kaze. “You are indeed more useful than I thought. Hardly anyone has ever managed to impress Edmund.” She did not feel sorry for Kaze, believing that everything happened as it was meant to. She knew that to climb higher, she had to please her superior. With the Wittersons on the rise, now was the perfect time for her to pledge her loyalty to Edmund. When the Wittersons truly took over the Westeros Branch, she would become one of the most powerful people in the city, second only to them. She was looking forward to that day. Since Kaze was fast asleep and no arrangements could be made, Rosie went out to call her men and
“If you are not here to have fun, then why did you come to Westeros?” Rosie asked. Kaze looked like he had one glass too many and could barely keep himself awake. When he looked up at Rosie, he felt lightheaded and could not keep his balance. “I am here to c-complete my mission.” Kaze could not even speak clearly, seemingly already drunk. Rosie let out a breath of relief. She then took his glass away. Kaze fell onto the couch lazily and adjusted himself into a comfortable position. He even had a hiccup. Rosie did not mind Kaze passing out in front of her. She got up and then squatted in front of him. “What is your mission here in Westeros?” She did not expect to fish out useful information from Kaze, but now she could bring this information to Edmund and exchange it for a reward. “I am here to solve the problem. Something happened here in the Viper’s Den and I am here to find out more. After that, someone else will take over,” Kaze muttered as he closed his eyes.
Rosie’s charm and beauty were reasons why she was able to run the club smoothly. No matter what happened, she possessed the capabilities to solve it without exacerbating it. All those aspects made Edmund choose her. A qualified employee trusted to run a business did not need to be a genius. One only needed to carefully operate the business and not cause trouble for the employer. That alone would be enough. “There’s indeed someone powerful who gave me a chance but I want to use my own strength to win their recognition.” Rosie was well aware that due to her beauty, many often looked down and underestimated her. She had to stay sharp and clear-headed to avoid unnecessary trouble. “That might be a little difficult but I believe you got what it takes,” Kaze said with a serious tone as if he knew Rosie well. “Thank you for your kind words. I hope everything turns out as expected.” She did not have to worry about that because Edmund fully trusted her and put her in charge of m
Clemont let out a breath of relief when he saw that his friends were not saying anything more. He brought them somewhere else to party. He spent a lot in a single night but he finally gained the respect that he longed for. Back at the club, after Clemont and his friends left, the corridor to the VIP section finally quieted down. The waiters cleaned up the place and then returned to their work. Kaze stayed back and looked at Rosie, waiting for her response. “Thank you for today. I would be hurt if not for you,” she said, expressing her gratitude. She was surprised that Kaze intervened but she was truly grateful for his help. “It’s nothing.” Kaze waved his hand nonchalantly and then wanted to return to his own room. “Why don’t I take care of the bill for you tonight? Consider it as a token of gratitude since you saved me from getting hurt,” Rosie said. Her interest in Kaze was piqued, wondering who he really was. She knew he was from Butterworth and had heard that
Clemont was born with a silver spoon and raised like a prince as he was the youngest in the family. He knew his father’s current situation, which explained why he behaved arrogantly. He thought his actions could help his father but little did he know, they were causing a huge trouble. Kaze made it verbal but the spoiled brat did not appreciate the warning and simply felt annoyed. “What do I mean? I guess you have to ask your father about it.” Kaze looked at Clemont coldly. There was no way a useless trust-fund baby could achieve anything great under the protection of his family. Every action that Clemont took was causing damage to his family. Kaze initially intended to use the Siegfrieds to his advantage, which explained why he did not act immediately. Now that Clemont had come under his radar, Kaze ought to use the chance. He managed to showcase his strength to Rosie earlier and what he said to Clemont would surely raise more suspicion in her. Kaze must come up wit
Rosie was shocked. She almost got kicked by some spoiled brat. She was not happy about it. She revered Clemont’s background and had been tolerant with the brat but he stepped over the line when he decided to be physical. Rosie looked up to Kaze who was hugging her. He was just outside the crowd and decided to step in when he heard the commotion. She did not expect him to save her. It was a surprise but it allowed her to see his capabilities. The man from Butterworth had been hiding his abilities from everyone all along. Rosie smiled at him before getting back up on her feet. “Thank you for your help,” she said softly. “It’s nothing. It’s the right thing to do,” Kaze said. Kaze was the type of person who could never stand seeing the weak being bullied. “Who the hell are you? What do you think you are doing?” Clemont bellowed. He was outraged and needed to vent his emotions. Since Kaze had intervened, it gave Clemont a chance to lash out at him. “Stop causing a
“I told you this is my club! They have to listen to me! Now open the damn door!” Clemont was furious after being questioned. He started to kick the door like a madman. The waiters were worried but they dared not do anything. “Young Master Siegfried, there are guests inside! VIP guests!” the waiter added. He dared not reveal the identity of the guest inside. Zidane informed all employees earlier that no one shall reveal the VIP guest’s identity or even mention that the suite was booked by Edmund. It was to keep things low. Therefore, the waiter dared not speak any of it even to Clemont. Unfortunately, Clemont stubbornly believed the waiter was lying to him. “What guests?! You’re lying to me! You said there were guests inside but even after I kicked the door, there was no answer! Open it up. Don’t be stupid!” he shouted. He cared not about the others when he shouted. He was impulsive at nature. “Young Master Siegfried, there are guests inside. You can’t do this,” the
