Kaze then drove off to the Vikrom family. Agnes did not believe him at all. Sky broke the legs of Howl and Daniel, the sons of the Vikrom and Logman families, not just any rando. She grabbed Darcy’s arms and cried, “Darcy, think of something. Sky is your little brother. He broke their legs because of you. Those two families will never spare him…” She dared not finish the sentence. Considering how vicious the Vikrom and Logman families were, breaking Sky's legs would be the least they could do. “Mom, calm down. Let me think…” Darcy’s mind was blank. The only help she could think of was Miru, but even she could not deal with two first-tier families combined. While she anxiously thought of a solution, she received a call from an unknown number. “Is this Ms. Darcy Quint? I am Eliot Everia. I heard your brother was taken to the Vikrom family. Maybe I can help get your brother back…” Eliot Everia? Darcy knew he was the first son of the Everia family, but she barely knew
The Chapmans informed the Vikrom and Logman families that Howl and Daniel were hospitalized. However, they did not tell them who thrashed Socialite Club. The Chapmans wanted it to remain a secret. A high-end club run by them got thrashed by a useless son-in-law of a second-tier family. The news alone was humiliating enough and they would not want others to laugh at them. Hmph! A member of the Logman family scoffed, “Are you kidding me? That useless brother-in-law of yours? If he was the one who thrashed the club, I’ll eat shit!” “This little bastard is trying to waste our time! He really thinks someone will save him. Hahaha…” The Vikrom and Logman families laughed at him. They did not believe a word Sky said. Vicky mocked him, “No one can save you now. Even if God is here, he won’t be able to take you away! You are doomed the moment you swing the bat at my brother’s leg.” “Make him kneel for a day and we’ll torture him later!” someone said. It was suicidal for a y
Kaze's shout was as loud as thunder, shaking even the entire Landor Residential Area. Vicky and the others who were closer to him felt an extreme pain in their ears. The shout was so powerful that it felt as if their souls were being blown out of their bodies. They stared at Kaze blankly, stunned by the sheer energy of the shout. Deep inside the mansion, Bernard was talking to Peter, the head of the Logman family, and they were discussing Howl’s and Daniel’s injuries. Suddenly, a terrifying roar resounded, shaking even their cups of tea on the table. Even though Bernard and Peter were seasoned family heads, accustomed to storms, they were paled by the bellow. What was even more terrifying was the name they heard. “Kaze Lee?” Bernard and Peter exchanged a quick look and saw the horror in each other’s eyes. The name left a strong impression on them. They saw the young man in person during the rebuilding of the new Construction and Material Society. They knew how power
The others from the Vikrom and Logman families knelt as well. They dared not stand while their heads of families were kneeling in fear of the young man, so it must mean he held the power to annihilate them easily. They had made a huge mistake! Kaze looked at Vicky and the others coldly. “That’s it? You think kneeling is enough? All of you slapped Sky right? Now slap yourself like how you slapped him just now!” Slap! Slap! Slap! Vicky and the others slapped themselves immediately and did not hold back. The continuous slaps sounded like a round of applause celebrating Sky’s innocence. When all of their faces were swollen, Kaze tapped Sky’s shoulder and brought him away. “Come on.” The two of them then left the mansion. The slaps continued for a little longer before they stopped. Other than Bernard and Peter, everyone else from the two families had swollen faces. “Vicky, you almost doomed us all!” Bernard shouted at his granddaughter. Peter lashed out at his fami
Kaze was infuriated. He exuded a ferocious aura that could frighten others easily. Agnes and Sky were terrified. Their faces turned pale. It was their first time seeing Kaze this angry. “Kaze, what happened?” Sky asked. Kaze went off without saying a word. He called Draco while driving out of the construction site. He said, “Tell Lone Wolf to bring his men. I want him to take over Nation Hotel as soon as possible!” He hung up the phone and drove off to the hotel. “Everia, if something happened to Darcy, I’ll drag every one of you to hell!” At the presidential suite of Nation Hotel, a handsome young man was seen drinking wine on the couch as Darcy stepped in. He looked relaxed but when he laid eyes on Darcy, a strange zeal and lust appeared in his eyes. Darcy felt uncomfortable while being stared at. “Mr. Everia, why did you change the location from the restaurant to the suite?” “I’ve heard Ms. Quint is a beautiful woman and now that I’ve seen you in person, you
“Eliot Everia, anything but this!” Darcy begged. “Then I’ll tell the Vikrom family to kill your husband.” Eliot picked up his phone and called Vicky. “The useless son-in-law of the Quint family, is he there at your place?” “Yeah, Eliot.” Vicky’s voice came from the phone. Eliot glanced at the pale-looking Darcy. “Kill him!” He sounded casual as if he was telling Vicky to kill an ant. “No! Please! No!” Darcy was devastated! How could Eliot kill someone at will? Why was there no one to punish him for his crimes? The call went quiet for a moment before Vicky said, “I’m sorry, Eliot.” Eliot was stunned. “Sorry? What do you…” “You don’t know? That’s because she dared not kill me.” An emotionless voice sounded all of a sudden. Darcy was startled. She turned around to the entrance and saw Kaze. “Kaze!” Eliot was surprised. “The hotel is filled with my men! How did you get in?” Eliot was shocked. He looked at Kaze anxiously and in fear. Not only did Kaze
“Yeah.” Kaze nodded. He was happy that Darcy would ask the question. Before this, she would never assume the possibility of him having such capability. When they came out of the hotel, the entrance was already surrounded by a police line with many bystanders who were watching curiously. There were also many reporters with cameras waiting for the scoop of the day. Vice Commander Jayden Belfast from Garo Spec Ops Team was answering the reporters’ questions. “We are from the main Garo Spec Ops Team. Our brother team, the Tiger Fangs, got ambushed while escorting a VIP to Nation Hotel. We believed villainous criminals were behind the attack. “The Strategic Department is highly concerned about this case, so we were sent here to wipe out the criminals. A few of them are killed on the spot.” The bystanders and reporters applauded loudly. “Ouch!” Kaze gasped in pain all of a sudden because his waist was pinched. “Hmph! You almost got away this time! You like to tease me!”
Edward Everia, Belarus Golding, and Flint Chapman. The three of them were said to be the real mayors of Lilrose. Mayor Johnson might be the mayor in the public’s eyes but every decision he made must go through them one way or another. Without their permission, no decisions would be made. The three of them were close and united. They advanced and retreated at the same time, and nothing could separate them. It was because of their union that they were able to control the city. “The events at Socialite Club and Nation Hotel happened on the same day, and both of them are related to the Quints. How strange.” Flint, the head of the only family that had not witnessed anything transpire, mumbled as he observed his partners' somber expressions. Rather than reveling in their misfortune, he was apprehensive about the unfolding events. “Especially Nation Hotel. This is terrifying. Even the Garo Spec Ops Team is there! I supposed the Everias lost a lot…” He looked at Edward who wo
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
