“I supposed we can’t just go home empty stomach, am I right?” Kaze said with a smile. Corax chose not to argue with Kaze now. He had not revealed his vicious fangs, how could he let Kaze go? He would not want Kaze to leave without settling the score. Kaze held Rose’s hand and went over to the table that could seat more than thirty people. He sat down in the center and waited for the waiter to serve him delicious food. Corax said with a smile, “Kaze, I told the bar owner to order this delicious food from a Michelin star restaurant. I hope you can forget about our little misunderstanding.” “Hmmm. Not bad.” Kaze grabbed a drumstick and started eating. He did not care about how others looked at him. Jorge and the others chuckled softly. No one would choose to eat at a bar, except for this retard. He might be strong but he was still a useless retard. While Kaze was munching on his food, the bar’s waiter delivered a few cases of wine. The entire area was filled with t
However, the more resistant Rose was, the stronger Corax’s desire for her body. He lifted his glass and said to Kaze, “Kaze, I am so sorry about what happened earlier. Jorge and the others shouldn’t have given you a hard time. As the organizer of this gathering, I am responsible as well. I hereby apologize to you. “I’ll take three shots first to show my sincerity.” Then, Corax finished three glasses of wine in one go. Wanda then said, “Kaze, Young Master Corax apologized and drank three glasses to show his sincerity. Shouldn’t you do the same?” The others tried to persuade Kaze to drink, which was exactly what Corax was after. Kaze was a problem as long as he stayed. If Corax and the others were not able to take down Rose, they decided to go after Kaze first. Kaze glanced at everyone before he looked at Corax. He said with a curl of his lips, “I guess you’re right. If you already apologized and even took three shots, I should do the same.” He then picked up his glass
Corax found Kaze’s reaction to be completely normal. Kaze would be drunk in no time. Until then, Corax would have more time to make a move on Rose. Corax was delighted that his plan was progressing smoothly. He shot a gaze at his followers. “Come on, you guys disrespected Kaze as well. You should drink with him and ask for forgiveness.” The other guys went up to Kaze immediately. “Kaze, we were sorry. Don’t mind us. Here, cheers!” The guys tried to flatter Kaze as much as they could. Kaze did not reject them at all. He drank whenever someone proposed a toast to him. Glass after glass, he drank the wine as if it were water. Rose got nervous as she watched the others trying to get Kaze drunk. “Kaze, you are going to hurt yourself!” Kaze was already on a drinking spree. No matter what Rose said, Kaze refused to stop and continued to drink with them. Rose felt bad. She regretted not leaving with Kaze earlier. She wanted to stay, so Kaze was forced to drink on her
However, when Wanda saw Corax beside her, she knew she could not slap Kaze, or else the consequences would be severe. She was forced to endure the uncomfortable feeling. After the toast, she finally freed herself from Kaze’s vicious claws. However, Kaze did not have enough. He moved his palm and said, “Ms. Wanda, your body is amazing. Your back is so smooth. That explains why you are a dance teacher.” Everyone at the table was silenced. The environment was dim so no one noticed Kaze’s hand was touching Wanda’s back. It was when he spoke that everyone looked at Wanda strangely. “Kaze!” Rose looked at Kaze angrily. Kaze had always been a mature and serious person but now that he got drunk, he started to misbehave. However, Kaze did not look at her or talk to her. All she could do was continue to sulk alone. “I…” Speechless, Wanda blushed. Not only did Kaze take advantage of her, but he even spilled the beans! “Yeah… Dancing is great for toning the body. It als
“Kaze, cheers!” Corax dared not let the ladies go near Kaze anymore. He took his glass and went over himself. “Corax, I’m damn happy today! Cheers!” Kaze tapped Corax’s shoulder and then extended his empty glass to Corax, signaling him to fill the glass. Corax was slightly speechless when he realized he had to pour wine for Kaze. He took a breath and filled the empty glass with wine. “Of course. If you like to drink, we can drink until morning!” “You said it! If you don’t drink enough, you are a little pussy!” Kaze finished the glass of wine in a few gulps. Corax slowly sipped on his glass as he gloated at Kaze. Based on his experience, Kaze was almost at his limit. A few more glasses and Kaze would be out cold. He assumed Kaze would not stop now just because he wanted to act cool in front of everyone. “Jorge, I think you have to call an ambulance for Kaze. A few more glasses and wine would be flowing in his veins instead of blood. It’s not appropriate for him t
To everyone’s surprise, even though Kaze finished an entire bottle of whiskey and looked even more drunk than before, he did not pass out. Rose got so nervous that she teared up. She tried to stop Kaze but her efforts were futile. Kaze continued to drink with Corax and Jorge. After another case of whiskey was gone, Corax, Jorge, and the others could barely stand anymore. Their faces were as red as apples. Their heads felt heavy and could not think straight. They had been taking turns to drink with Kaze but they never skipped their rounds. They drank wine and whiskey together and they were considered amazing for lasting this long. However, they ran into an alcoholic monster that was Kaze. “Come on! Don’t stop!” Kaze opened up the second case of whiskey and brought a bottle over to Jorge, who was trying to catch his breath. “Jorge, come on. Let’s drink! Don’t just sit there.” Jorge had a bitter look on his face as his stomach continued to torment him. “K-Kaze, I c
Two more rounds later, all the young women, including Wanda, were knocked out on the couch. Their stomachs were burning and their organs felt like they had switched places. “Come on, I haven’t had enough and you guys are out already. What a bummer…” Kaze said as he pouted. Rose’s eyes widened as she was speechless. It was not Corax and his friends who could not drink, it was Kaze who seemed to be immune to alcohol! One man versus a dozen of them and he managed to single-handedly outdrink them all. It was already a superhuman feature! “Corax, come on. One more glass!” Kaze wobbled his way over to Corax. Corax leaned his head on the table. His eyes were barely open. Kaze pulled his hair and lifted his head. Corax was so drunk that he could not feel the pain. He begged, “Kaze, I’m done. I can’t drink anymore!” His head was dizzy but he realized what just happened. He and his friends seemed to have fallen into Kaze’s trap. He felt weak and could barely focus.
Bonk! Kaze knocked Rose on the head. “What does that mean? You want Darcy and I to argue?” “Hmph! Forget it!” Rose’s reply sounded nervous. She then said angrily, “Kaze, why didn’t you tell me? I was worried about you! I didn’t know you were faking it! “Don’t you try to misbehave again. If you harass other girls, I’ll tell Darcy!” The girl stared at Kaze like an angry puppy, whose eyes were round and big. The blush on her face made her look adorable. Kaze laughed. “I was just trying to protect you. Your dance teacher is trying to sell you away. I was just teaching her a lesson.” A while later, Sky arrived in his Ferrari. Kaze and Rose got into the car and went home. Before they left, an ambulance arrived and paramedics came down from the vehicle. After they had a look inside the bar, they realized one ambulance was not enough. “I told Corax that one ambulance is not enough.” Kaze smiled as he shook his head. He did not care how drunk Corax and the others wer
“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
