“Yes, Mr. Glitter!” The three titans nodded and then moved closer to Kaze. “Kaze, on your knees!” The hundreds of guards moved a step closer as well. Rustle! Suddenly, loud rustling came from outside the artificial lawn, sounding like a thousand snakes wriggling closer to the building. It was so sudden and creepy that it gave everyone goosebumps. “What’s that?” Other than Kaze, everyone in the hall was surprised. As the rustling got closer and louder, they realized they were hurried footsteps on the grass. However, it was already too late when they realized it. Bang! A loud bang blasted the doors of Landor Residential Area to the ground. “Who the hell are you people? How dare you cause trouble at our place?!” The three titans turned around, shouting at the intruders. At a closer look, the three titans were stunned. An army of people gathered outside the mansion and were swarming inside. “Brother Kaze, a thousand of us are here! Not one less, not one mo
“For someone living in a cave, you think the sky's the limit. Now that you’ve seen what I can do, I believe you are a caveman living in seclusion, Astral,” Kaze said with a faint smile. Astral’s expression turned grimmer. He scoffed. “Kaze, you think you and your little army are enough to scare me? If they know who I am, do you think they will still listen to your command?” Even though Astral was surprised, he did not freak out like the others. His identity fueled his absolute confidence. “I’ll give you a chance to try,” Kaze teased. Astral scoffed. “You called forth a bunch of random guys and started to be pretentious in front of me. I just need one word and I can send them back where they come from!” He then walked past Kaze and went over to the entrance. Charlotte and the three titans followed him. When they walked past Kaze, they grinned and said, “Kaze, if you keep provoking Mr. Glitter, it will only accelerate your death!” Astral’s confidence infected them and r
Therefore, Astral never thought Conan would bring a thousand men to his property just to find trouble with him and it was all because of Kaze. He refused to believe it, so he chose to believe what was more likely to his belief, which was the Queens seeking war against the Glitters. Compared to Conan taking orders from Kaze, the family war sounded much more plausible. “War?” Conan laughed and said, “Astral, you are full of yourself. You think you can represent the Glitter family?” Astral’s expression showed anger. Conan was known to be a gangster despite his status, so he was always used as a negative example for all other rich families to educate their children. On the other hand, Astral was the elite of the elites. Conan had no right to look down on him! “Besides…” Conan ignored Astral and continued laughing. “Even if the Queens want to wage war against the Glitters, so what?” Astral scrutinized Conan and said contemptuously, “Conan, you should look in the mirror
In the blink of an eye, Tobias’ claw pierced through the air and approached Kaze’s neck fast. Kaze did not move. Tobias assumed he was terrified and could not react in time, which aroused his bloodthirstiness. It was then Kaze looked up at him with a calm and cold gaze. The gaze struck fear in Tobias’ heart. Then, Kaze raised his left hand for a forward swing. “Aargh!” On the other hand, when Rex and Paul got rid of two of Conan’s men and were ready to approach him, they heard an excruciating cry from behind. They instinctively turned around and were shocked by what they saw. “Tobias!” Tobias was sent flying away with blood spewing from his mouth. “Kaze! What did you do to Tobias? You’re fucking dead!” The two of them ditched Conan and jumped toward Kaze immediately, wanting to avenge Tobias. However, no matter how fast they moved, Kaze was faster. When the two of them were less than a meter away, Kaze swung his hand forward again. Astral was protected by
Astral straightened his back and stared into Kaze’s eyes fiercely. He had nothing to be afraid of. He had the entire Glitter family behind his back, which was his strongest support. “Die?” Kaze shook his head and said, “Astral, death is a sensitive word. If I were you, I wouldn’t use it so lightly, or else I would let you have a real taste of it.” Astral grinned. “Kaze, are you threatening me so that I will kneel? Too bad you got the wrong person!” He then looked at the men Conan brought and said, “I admit that I lost today but it’s because you caught me off guard. I didn’t expect you to get Conan and his men here with just one call.” Kaze raised a brow and looked amused. “What’s wrong? You don’t seem too happy about it.” “Don’t talk to me like that. It’s an insult. You really think I lost to you? If it wasn’t for Conan and his men, you would be in my shoes now!” Astral scoffed. If not Conan and one thousand of his men, reinforcing Kaze, there was no way Astral would
Before the men could react, Astral twisted his arm and grabbed their wrists. Crack! The men who seized Astral had their arms broken with just one twist! Even Conan was shocked by Astral’s sudden display of his power. Kaze raised his brows and looked amused. “Interesting.” He started to believe Conan. Based on what Astral just did, he was indeed stronger than the four titans. More precisely, he and the four titans were not the same. The four titans were more about brute strength, emphasizing muscles and raw power. Astral focused more on techniques and agility. Although his physique was slimmer than the four titans, his techniques gave him an upper hand. It somehow fit his image—a gentlemanly monster. Bang! Bang! Astral kicked the men away and then walked up to Kaze with a frosty look. “Kaze, dare to fight me fairly, one on one? If I win, I walk and you can’t do anything to me.” Kaze smiled. “If you lose? You take your own life?” “I won’t lose.” Astral narro
Kaze slapped Astral repeatedly like a whip. Astral’s fair and handsome face was swollen and covered in blood. He shouted, resisted, and tried to fight back, but his efforts were futile. The eldest son of the Glitter family was being slapped like a sore loser by Kaze. No matter how he moved or dodged the slap, Kaze’s slap would precisely land on his face without a miss. The most unacceptable thing was that Kaze did not overpower him with some superpowers but just a simple slap. “Aaargh!” Astral shouted, spewing blood from his mouth. He was internally hurt as well. Slap! Kaze slapped him again. “Astral, you said your family shouldn’t be humiliated. What was that phrase that came before it?” Kaze continued to tease him. Astral shut his eyes and stayed quiet, refusing to answer the humiliation. It would be the biggest joke if he tried to answer Kaze. “Playing dead are we?” Kaze smiled. He looked into the crowd and called someone over. “Max Kang, get over her
Astral was dragged to the helicopter like a pile of meat. He was tied under the helicopter after he was stripped down to his underwear. As the propeller started to spin, the helicopter rose to the sky and flew toward the city. Soon, Lilyrose was bombarded with the news. Many people saw a naked man being tied under the helicopter and flew around the city. Twenty minutes later, the helicopter returned to Landor Residential Area. “Kaze, I think I might have wasted my whole life. I only know how to use my fists and never thought of something this fun!” Conan dragged Astral over, looking extremely excited as if he had just finished a roller coaster ride. Kaze said, “If you do what I did, your Pops will definitely break your leg.” The Queens were a strict family. Even though Mathias and Conan had the looks of a playboy, they knew when to do the right things and never cross the line. “Hahaha, right…” Conan awkwardly laughed. Kaze looked at the unconscious Astral. Eve
“Kaze can pull the punches for sure. I mean, he has the Butterworth branch chief’s trust for a reason. “There has to be something for him to win the branch chief’s approval.” Edmund doubted there was depth to Kaze. After all, Edmund decided whether to take on a person based on their abilities. It made no sense to pay attention to losers, as he would hold them in contempt. Edmund had been impressed with Herman, who excelled in strategies and management. That was why Edmund bumped Herman up and made sure he stayed on top. “Got it.” Herman nodded and had one foot out the door. “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. There’s one more thing.” Edmund pointed at the table. Herman approached and stood on bent knees. Pleased with Herman’s submission, Edmund passed him a wine glass. Herman took the drink humbly before looking carefully at Edmund, awaiting his orders. “The wine was just airlifted from abroad. I can vouch for the taste. If you’re looking to sip on the finest, yo
Time went by, and a towering man in a suit showed up outside the door. Picking up on the noise inside the room, he knocked on the door. It was hard to tell whether the person inside could hear the knocking, so the man waited outside. The door was opened, and a woman, her face flawless with makeup, popped her head out and saw him. She cocked her head back at Edmund. “You have a guest, Mr. Witterson.” “Let him in,” Edmund instructed. He then leaned in to take the drink from the girl next to him with his mouth. The other girls cheered him on. The group was lost in their fun. The man, who entered the room, stood by the sofa respectfully. He kept his head down, his gaze staying low at the bottles of alcohol spread across the table. It was a bit of a wait before the man approached at Edmund’s order. “Tell me about Dwight.”While listening to the girls’ singing, Edmund turned to Herman. Herman rushed over as soon as Edmund called. He won a lot of money at poker toda
In this particular circumstance, Morris had to play it safe so that things would not get out of hand. The last thing he wanted was to be dragged into the mess. At least, he finally saw the Wittersons’ true colors. Morris’ friendly advice was met with disrespect and insult. However, the Wittersons were a force of nature, and Morris was not about to take them head-on. Despite his frustration, Morris had to walk away. Well, Edmund would soon face his downfall at the height of his power, and Morris would be there to enjoy the ride. Still, it did not sit well with Morris to have a young fella walk all over him. It had crossed his mind to keep the Wittersons in check, but there was only so much he could do. Morris had to be the one to back away as the Wittersons grew haughty. Morris believed there was more to Kaze’s visit to Westeros. Nothing major happened in Westeros recently. At least, there was nothing worth the other branch’s attention. However, a representative of the
Morris suggested entertaining Kaze well. Things would not be good for the branch if Kaze got dirt on them. That was where Edmund disagreed with Morris. His idea was to send someone to sound Kaze out. Edmund was smug because Morris’ decision was wrong. “You shouldn’t do that. Kaze is here on behalf of the Butterworth branch. You don’t want tension between both branches.” Morris looked at things from a wider perspective. Edmund believed Kaze was just a doormat of little importance. “You just overthink things, and it’s not good for your age. You’re getting senile.” Edmund did not take Morris’ advice seriously. He believed he was right. “You’re not getting it. Kaze is from Butterworth. Even if he doesn’t hold a high position there, we were in the wrong. We did not keep our tracks clean either. “Now that he’s back, I’m worried that he’ll cause us harm.” Morris was only giving a heads-up because the whole branch was at stake. Edmund was young. Due to his lack of judgmen
“We should be generous to our guest from Butterworth. You can arrange as you see fit. Please don’t house him in a messy home. Hire cleaners to tidy up the place. “You can report back to me if you need more money, but it’s not a reason for you to misuse the funds.” Herman wanted to hang up. The money was now in Dwight’s bank account, so he was washing his hands off the matter. The plan was to keep Kaze happy. He was just an insignificant member of the Butterworth branch anyway. The whole thing would blow over soon enough, so long as Kaze kept to himself without taking things too far. Herman would figure out a way to get him out quickly anyway. Maybe Herman and his friends did not have to do anything to get rid of Kaze. “Got it. I’ll be a good host, Herman. I won’t let you down. I’ll keep you in the loop.” Dwight was over the moon to get the notification about the money transfer. “Just play by ear and arrange what you see best.” Herman hung up and continued playing pok
“It’s becoming a hassle now. Are you going to inform the Viper’s Den about the change of accommodation?” After much hesitation, Kaze nodded to take up the offer. Dwight was thrilled. It only hit Dwight that he had to communicate with the Viper’s Den. Kaze was booked for a hotel stay, and Dwight’s job was to take him to the destination. Yet now, Dwight took him to his home. “I’ll tell my superior and see what he has to say.” Dwight was not sure whether the change was appropriate. Nevertheless, he did not want to pass up on a great opportunity. He simply grabbed the bull by the horn. If Kaze stayed at his place, the Viper’s Den members had to respect Kaze’s request even if they had a problem with it. “But when they ask, you can say that you’re getting along well with me. Living together just makes work more convenient.” Feeling unsettled, Dwight tried to get their stories straight with Kaze. Hopefully, the Viper’s Den would not come after them. “Aren’t we friends? I k
Dwight gave some suggestions. “But I’m worried about being a nuisance to your family.” Kaze remained hesitant, torn between decisions. “No, you won’t. I usually live alone. They stay somewhere else. They barely visit. I’ll just let them know not to visit for now,” Dwight replied. Dwight figured out what was in it for him. He could not let Kaze leave. “I don’t want to put your family in an awkward position.”Kaze was still considering the matter. “Relax. They don’t live with me anyway. The room I have for you is tidy. No one has stayed there before.“I’ll hire some help to freshen up the place. I can guarantee you an experience no less than at the hotel.” Dwight spoke with great confidence. “We should finish our food and doggie-bag the rest. I’ll take you to my place.” Dwight was ready to get things going. Kaze took the offer and nodded. “I’ll be in your care then.” Kaze was glad that his plan went through. Dwight had no idea that he got played. Nevertheless,
“I’m new to the place, so I don’t know much. Can you show me around when you’re available?” “No problem, but I usually have some stuff to take care of. I can’t be there 24/7. “Why don’t you propose to the branch that you want me to be your guide and attendant?” Dwight suggested. There was no telling whether Kaze would accept his proposal, but it was an opportunity to prove himself. He was never involved in the core operation. Often enough, he was the branch members’ punching bag. Though Dwight was aware that he was not good enough for the big stuff, he still wanted to succeed. Kaze was the trusted aide of the Butterworth Branch chief. He was in Westeros for a reason. By joining Kaze, Dwight would come across the major players. Kaze saw through Dwight’s plans. “Sure. I’ll do that.” Kaze did not mind the request. “Great. I’ll let them know on your behalf. I’ll be responsible for your needs while in the city.” Dwight was overjoyed at the opportunity. “So you live
“You must be rich. I often see rich people picking tabs for everybody. Talk about extravagance.” The tension in the air was lifted when Kaze offered to pay for everything. “I’m not. Consider it an apology,” Kaze explained, not wanting to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. He did not see the point of continuing the conversation. Dwight’s angry screams came from outside. “What the hell is this? I only ordered a bunch of stuff. Why am I being charged an exorbitant amount?“What do you mean my friend is paying for everybody? That’s throwing money away,” Dwight said while storming his way over. “I know you have money, but you shouldn’t do this, Mr. Lee.” Dwight did not approve of this type of generosity. “You rubbed them the wrong way. It was only right to apologize. Besides, it’s not a lot of money.” Kaze looked at the bill and handed a bank card to Dwight. “It’s my treat.” The consumption was barely a dent in Kaze’s savings. The meal did not cost more than his us
