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
Trent was able to maintain power in the political scene for many years because of his awareness. He did not accept Samson’s offer right away. Instead, he tried to challenge the new mayor in multiple public appearances, trying to oppress the young one with his experience. It was all because he wanted to test how Kaze would react. After testing for a few times, Kaze remained silent, hence Trent’s conclusion. “Bring them in. We’ll see if he can continue to be the mayor after this meeting,” Trent said to his secretary. Kan’s eyes gleamed. If Trent had decided to pull Kaze down from the position, he might get a chance to be the successor. “Yes, Master Fuller.” Kan nodded and went to the gate. At the gate, Kan frowned at what he saw. A young man in his late 20s was smoking outside the gate. How could he be so unruly and disrespectful when paying a visit to Master Fuller’s mansion? He did not even wear a formal suit. He wore a set of jerseys and a pair of running sho
Trent’s expression turned grim. Kaze’s appearance reminded him of the embarrassment that happened at Leigh’s place. “Hmph! I was deceived by that useless and deceitful guy! I’ve checked his contact at the Lilyrose Strategic Department and there’s nothing about him. I bet he’s just a nameless soldier or whatever.” He was frightened away by Draco the other day and his grandson, Pete, also got a slap. It became a stain in his life. “Master Fuller, calm down.” Kan calmed the man down and then switched the topic. “Master Fuller, Sieg Lyfe of the Lyfe family from Geranium City contacted me and said he wanted to visit you.” “The Lyfe family from Geranium? The young man who took control of Rove as soon as he arrived in Lilyrose?” Trent’s anger was replaced by curiosity. Kan nodded. “Yes. Young Master Sieg said on behalf of his family, he wanted to talk to you about the new projects in Lilyrose.” “I see…” Trent knew how much the construction projects held in profits. O
“Hi, I am Darcy Quint.” Darcy slightly frowned but she was not surprised at Corax's reaction. She politely said, “I heard that Mr. Durant is from Geranium, so to show our Lilyrose hospitality, I have told the restaurant to prepare some local specialty. “Let’s have a drink after the meal as well.” As soon as Darcy’s words subsided, she saw Corax’s face turn pale. Slam! Wanda slammed the table and bellowed, “Ms. Quint, are you doing this on purpose? You still want to drink with Young Master Corax? Alcohol is poison to us!” She might sound fierce but when she mentioned alcohol, there was an obvious fear on her face. Darcy’s expression turned heavy. She wondered why they were so rude. The first thought that rushed into her mind was to walk away. However, she soon realized Corax and Wanda were not angry at her. It was because she used the wrong words and it reminded them of something unhappy. Darcy noticed Corax’s sickly face. One of his followers even handed him a piece o
One man versus a dozen in a game of drinking and single-handedly knocked them all out. In the end, all of them were sent to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. If it made the headlines, Corax and his followers would be the biggest joke in their social circle. Not only would they be the biggest joke, but no one would sympathize with them because they got it coming. Grievance built up in them but they had no place to vent it out. “Ms. Quint, let’s skip the chatters.” Corax ignored Darcy’s question and said coldly, “Since we are already there, we must solve this one way or another. “I have two conditions.” Corax put his fingers out. “First, Kaze Lee must kneel before me and I will break his leg. “Second, you and Rose shall sleep with me tonight. “If you agree to these two conditions, I will forgive your husband about last night. Or else, I shall let you have a taste of despair.” Corax sounded like he already had the situation in the bag. Darcy was shaking out of an
“One sexy and one adorable! Young Master Corax is in for a treat tonight! Hehe…” Jorge and the others laughed pervertedly. “Corax Durant, you bastard!” Darcy flushed strongly. She swung a slap at Corax’s face. She had always been a peaceful person yet even she could not tolerate the insult and swing a slap at the bastard. She was truly irritated. Thuck! Corax caught her by the wrist and grinned. “Bastard? I’m a monster in bed! Do you want to give it a try? “Darcy, I know you and your husband are quite influential in Lilyrose. I heard that even Leigh Glitter can’t get his way with you two, but I’m not as stupid as him. I wouldn’t fight a losing war. I come to you means I have absolute confidence. “Before our meeting, Trent Fuller was having tea at my cousin’s place. He has been in power for twenty years. You should know how influential and powerful he is. “Be it wealth or power, you and your husband are no match for me. If I were you, I would just give in and sleep wit
Dynasty Hotel was not just equipped with the best rooms and service. It also had professional printers for their daily promotional use. A while later, the owner came back with a stack of printed photos. “Have a look.” Kaze grabbed a stack and scattered them across the room. The room was raining with photos, scattering across the table. The colors in the photo looked vivid and bright. One of the photos showed Jorge sitting in his own vomit with his eyes rolled back. One of the photos showed Wanda curling her arms around one of Corax’s followers. There was even a photo with Corax covering his head on the table like a scared puppy, puking and peeing himself. …The photos captured their embarrassing moments in high definition. When they got drunk, their dignified images were gone. “Kaze Lee! You bastard! How dare you take pictures of us!” “You fucker!” Everyone in the room cried in shock. They picked up the photos nervously and tore them into pieces. Once the
“Give me an answer. Are you taking the job? If you are, you should sort out your affairs. Don’t bring your personal feelings to work.” Snow was not the type to go easy on fragile women. If Leah did not have what it took, she could be forced to leave the company. Nevertheless, Katie had left a lot of assets to Leah. Even without work, Leah could very well survive. The girl would have trouble keeping the wealth, seeing that she was without power or connections. If Leah had a job, she would have the resources to hold onto her assets. Leah had seen the best and worst of mankind. She was once the center of attention, and now, everybody avoided her. It dawned on Leah that it was over for Katie. If Leah could not even keep a job, she would lose everything. “I didn’t know things would happen.” Leah never thought that Katie was capable of stabbing Kaze and her in the back. The thought of betrayal put Leah in distress. Kaze was a great guy who helped Leah a lot. Feeling ete
Leah got dressed and was ready to leave, but she did not know who to turn to. She thought about going to her wealthy friends to see if they could uncover anything through their connections. However, Leah could not get a hold of them. It dawned on Leah that loyalty would fade when power was gone. Even though Katie was just missing, intel spread around Butterworth very quickly. These people must have found out and have chosen to stay away. Leah had always been treated like royalty. Nobody had ever avoided her like the plague. Nevertheless, she had not been in touch with these friends since her injury. Now, in her attempt to contact them, she could not reach them. “Why is this happening? My good friends have gone MIA, and I’m getting silence from those who have been trying to connect.” Sitting on the couch, Leah looked out the window in despair. She tried to seek help with her mother’s search, but her efforts were futile. She could do nothing for her mother. All al
“I have to work hard starting today. But before that, I have to get some sleep.” Snow remembered that Kaze punished her to get some sleep. He said her face looked tired and pale, signs of how hard she had been working. It felt great being cared for. It was because of his kindness, Snow fell for Kaze uncontrollably. Yet she understood not all things were meant to be. After she returned home, she went to sleep immediately without talking to anyone. She only woke up in the afternoon after a comfortable and easy sleep. Next, she would have to work on many things, first being taking over Northborn Group. Katie’s disappearance had the company shaken, but it gave many others a chance. They tried to calm their subordinates down and contact the higher-ups for more information, hoping that they could replace Katie as the new CEO. Little did they know, their preparations would eventually fall short. Snow and her secretary arrived at Northborn Group in the afternoon, and her a
“Worried about the mercenaries? I’ve taken all of them out and anyone with a sane mind would know by now not to come after me. Why would they make the same mistake again?” Kaze killed all the mercenaries. There was no one else the mastermind could send after him anymore. Even if there were, they would have to reconsider it after what had happened. Taking out the mercenaries in silence was a strong showcase of his strength. Once the mastermind found out, he or she would definitely stay away. Besides, Kaze had decided to continue his journey to Westeros without telling anyone. He could board a random flight to his destination, and no one would ever know. “Take me to the airport,” Kaze said to the driver. He and Snow were in the rear seat. “When you go back to Butterworth, don’t rush things. Now that Katie has made a mistake and is forced to step down, you can take over Northborn Group,” Kaze said. “Speaking of Katie, after I locked her up, her daughter, Leah, came to me
Miguel stated his strength so that Kaze and Snow would look at him differently. “That doesn’t mean we have to choose you.” Snow saw nothing stellar in him. Snow’s harsh words surprised Miguel and left him deeply displeased. Yet when he looked at Kaze, he dared not say a word. “I can work hard. Even if I am not qualified now, I can work toward that goal.” “Of course, you are not qualified now. You need to improve yourself to meet the basic requirements. Then we’ll talk about you joining us.” Snow just wanted to get this matter over and done with, so she handed Miguel her name card. “When you think you are qualified, you can give me a call.” Since she would eventually take over the largest force in Butterworth, she needed to build a team of her own—one she could truly trust. Miguel might just be an ordinary man who looked fierce but he was courageous and had the potential to be better. “Can I follow him instead?” Miguel took the name card and learned Snow’s name. He
“You did well,” Kaze praised Miguel. It was not easy for someone to fire a gun and take a life, even when he had basic training. Though without the proper technique and training, the shot was nothing stellar. “Really?” Miguel was thrilled by the praise. He might be tall and fit and have arms full of tattoos, but he had never gotten into a fight before. He was happy that someone he admired praised him. It made his day even more than escaping alive. Kaze wanted to continue but the cars had arrived. He walked forward and revealed himself in front of the headlights. The hostages were scared. They stepped back, some of them entered the hangar once more and tried to shut the door. Miguel stood in their way and stopped them from closing it up. “What are you doing? Kaze is still here and help has arrived. Stop hiding,” he said. He detested their selfish behavior. Kaze saved them but they did not even thank him. They even continued to suspect Kaze’s identity. Their be
“How dare those men hijack the plane and take Kaze. They must be punished…” Despite her grumbles, Snow grew anxious. “Given Mr. Lee’s capabilities, he won’t be hurt.” The agents around her tried to comfort her. They believed she was being too nervous. “I know, but we as subordinates have failed him by allowing this to happen. We have to do our best to make up for the mistake, and not rely on Mr. Lee to get out because he can.” Snow drowned in self-blame and regretted not being able to help. It was her negligence that allowed the hijacking to happen. “But there’s nothing you can do now. It’s late. Even the hijackers need to rest. They won’t do anything yet.” “It’s because the hijackers need to rest that we have to hurry and beat them to it. That’s the only way to solve this matter!” “But we’ve searched high and low and didn’t find anything. No one knows where they have gone. Even if they transported the passengers via buses, we didn’t see any tracks.” The agents discu
Kaze breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly went over to Miguel and pressed his hands with the gun down so that it would not misfire. “Good job.” “Thanks.” Miguel curled his lips into a nervous smile. He frequently trained in the gym and mixed martial arts but had never encountered any real-life incident before, thus being inexperienced. Fortunately, his mentality was stronger than the others and allowed him to act accordingly. “I’ll be taking the gun. This is self-defense, you won’t be charged and you won’t need to take responsibility,” Kaze said. Miguel’s pale face looked relieved. “What should we do now? Are there more of them?” Miguel dared not let go of the gun, worried there might be more enemies. “I’ve counted the numbers and this guy here should be the last one.” He then took the gun from Miguel’s hands. “Really? Gosh! That was crazy! I was so terrified!” Miguel finally loosened up and let his instinct take over. His heart was pounding so fast that it
Manson came over and saw the mercenaries lying in their own puddle of blood. The gore shocked him and made him sick. He tried his best to hold back the urge to throw up as it would attract attention. “Don’t look if you can’t take it! Don’t make things worse!” “Yeah! Professor! Grow a pair of balls!” “I have never seen dead bodies like this before!” he explained with a flush of embarrassment on his face. “Can we go out now and run away?” The hostages were eager to leave as things had settled down outside. They thought the danger was over. A dead mercenary was inside the container with them and they were still horrified. Once the others found out about this, the hostages would be shot to death. “If you want to die, be my guest. The moment you step out, you’ll be shot!” Callahan said as he looked at the others scornfully. One of the hostages had already put his hand on the handle of the door and was ready to dash out, but he quickly pulled his hand back after listening
