Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1758 An Even More Impressive Identity
“Old man, you’re really funny. When did I deceive you?”Kaze looked at Trent throwing a tantrum and mocked. “When you put on airs and told me to visit you at your home, I went personally, didn’t I? However, you didn’t believe me and drove me away.”At those words, Trent felt his strength drain away and lay there motionlessly.He regretted it.If he had known that Kaze was the mayor, he would not have gone out of his way to offend Kaze from the start.However, even if he knew, would Trent not have clashed with Kaze?That was a hard question to answer.Old habits die hard.The reason why Trent ended up in this situation had nothing to do with Kaze being the mayor. It was because of his arrogant nature.Everyone else looked at Trent’s miserable state and sighed in their hearts.Demanding Kaze to visit and then driving him away when he arrived...Just that action itself would have brought him bad luck.At that moment, a team of investigators from the Supervisory Bureau entered.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1759 Identity Revealed
“Okay.”Darcy let Kaze hold her hand, following him out of the banquet hall in a daze.Looking at their backs, various sighs filled the hall.Regret.They all looked down on Kaze and mocked him to curry favor with Andrew.Now, they realized that the real big shot was the man that they had disdained.However, it was too late for regrets.No matter how much they tried to apologize or fawn over him, Kaze had no intention of paying them any mind.He left all the business cards he received on the table, not taking back a single one.Kaze naturally would not hold grudges against these people, but he would not show them kindness either....At Horizon Mirror Mansion, the family sat on the couch in silence.The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.Agnes’ hands trembled slightly.Kaze felt uneasy at being stared at and said helplessly, “Honey, if you have any questions, just ask.”“When did you become the mayor? What’s going on?”Darcy took a deep breath and stared at Kaze inten
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1760 Planning to Step Down
Considering Master Quint’s character, it was clear why he was bringing the Quint family over.Kaze’s identity as the mayor was exposed.A young mayor like him was not unheard of in Arcadia, but it was certainly rare.He would surely have a bright future and endless opportunities in politics.Kaze was known to the outside world as the Quint family’s son-in-law.His name was tied closely to the Quints.In the past, Master Quint was worried that Kaze might cause trouble and drag the Quints into disaster.Now, those worries were gone.The Quints had a rising star now!Thus, Horizon Mirror Mansion was very lively that night.The Quints flattered Kaze relentlessly, and Master Quint was also grinning from ear to ear.Kaze was speechless at their behavior.Seeing that they were refusing to leave and kept trying to suck up to him, he finally could not hold back anymore.He suddenly said to Darcy, “Honey, I need to tell you something. I’m planning to step down as mayor.”“Huh?”Be
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1761 I’ll Avenge Gareth
“That’s right.”Cosmo nodded with a pale face. “Andrew is useless, and so is Harrison. Why were they so frightened by a mere mayor? Not only did they fail to complete the task, but they even exposed Kaze’s identity as well. Useless!”He had been expecting good news from Andrew. As long as Darcy handed over the shares, Samson would enter Sky Ocean Corporation’s board of directors under the name of Lee Investment Firm.Unexpectedly, he got this news instead.Just then, Samson’s phone rang.He listened to a few words, hung up, and looked at Cosmo with a frown, deep in thought.“What is it? Who called you?”Cosmo asked casually.Samson said in a low voice, “It was your dad. He said to stop Kaze from controlling the Lilyrose New City project. Otherwise, if he forms alliances with major forces, it’ll be a disaster for the Lee family! In other words, Kaze must die, but without involving the Lees...”“My dad? Why didn’t he just call me?”Cosmo was stunned. Then, he thought of somethi
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1762 If He Knows His Place
Soon, all the members of the Hornberg family were taken away.The Hornberg family assets were now converted into funds for Gunther’s revenge.Gunther did not care about their survival.Poor Gareth. He was a Grandmaster, yet he was bullied even after his death.Furthermore, it was by his senior who claimed to want to avenge him.Gunther’s student, Sonny, waved his hand, and Ethan’s corpse was taken away.At that moment, Niko entered the room, glanced at Ethan’s corpse, and walked up to Gunther expressionlessly.“Uncle Gunther, there’s news from Lilyrose regarding Kaze’s identity! His backer is the former mayor of Lilyrose, Johnson Brooks. Johnson is highly regarded by Loid Farland, the governor, and is about to be promoted, so he had Kaze act as the acting mayor.“Now, with the development of the Lilyrose New City, many forces in Arcadia want a share of the project. Kaze is using his position to curry favor with these forces.“All signs indicate that the reason for Kaze’s previ
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1763 The Top Legatus
The Three Great Legati with Gunther were the ace soldiers of Zion Mercenaries.They each had their own background.Niko did not know the background of the top Legatus, Mosiah, but he was familiar with the other two.The second Legatus, Antovan, was a martial arts genius proficient in jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and karate. His unarmed combat skills were unmatched in Zion Mercenaries.Antovan’s nickname in Zion Mercenaries was White Python.It was well known that prey entangled by a python would be strangled to death.Antovan was just as terrifying. Once he got close, his opponent was as good as dead!The third Legatus, Gustav, was nicknamed Kodiak in the Zion Mercenaries.He came from Eastern Gyro and was naturally strong. It was said that during special training, Gunther sent him to a black jail in Sivelia.There, Gustav killed most of the prison guards and inmates, then successfully broke out!As for the top Legatus, Mosiah, he was very mysterious. Not only did Niko have no unde
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1764 Blind Date
Niko was confused by those words.However, Sonny gasped. “Do you mean the one who defeated the armies of the five strongest nations on the foreign battlefield, the lord of the God of War Palace?”“Yes, I’m talking about the God of War!”Gunther nodded with a hint of fear in his eyes. “The God of War donated the entire ten billion bribe from the top three families to Lilyrose for investment, which indicates he has some interest in Lilyrose.“Therefore, be sure to restrain yourselves when you act in Lilyrose. Don’t be too aggressive, lest you attract his attention.“If Mosiah is sent there and causes a bloodbath, no one will be able to save you—not even me. Remember that!”“Understood!”Hearing that, Sonny and Niko, who originally did not take it seriously, became solemn.Even the proud Gunther was saying such words.It seemed that the legendary God of War was truly formidable.The two felt some pressure.After a few more instructions from Gunther, they left Hornberg Manor.“
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1765 Shield
“So, you want me to be your shield? Use your brain and think about it. I’m a notable figure in Lilyrose. The guy will easily find out if he investigates. You’re rich anyway, so just hire someone else.”Pretend to be Miru’s boyfriend for a blind date? What a joke.He was the mayor of Lilyrose now and needed to maintain his dignity.Furthermore, he was not in the mood to play with her.“It doesn’t matter if the guy knows. I just need to ruin the blind date.”Miru pursed her lips and said, “Hiring someone won’t work. That guy is a young master from a major foreign family. People like him usually have bad tempers. If he gets physical...”“What do you mean?”Kaze’s expression instantly darkened. “You mean he might get violent, so you don’t want to endanger anyone else.”It was obvious that finding a shield for a blind date was incredibly distasteful.Even an ordinary man would not be able to hold back his anger, let alone a young master.Miru felt uneasy when Kaze saw through her

“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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3745 It's Done
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3744 Not That Easy
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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3743 Target Appeared
“Tsk. Hold on.” Vexed, the man clicked his tongue and then waved at his colleague. “Come here. Someone fainted. Help me get him out.” The man wanted to take the professor out of the container. Manson’s heart pounded as he listened to the man. He was afraid he might be exposed, but there was no turning back now—he had to play along. Kaze stood behind the door, calming his breath down to lower his presence. “Get back. Stay away from the door. If anyone gets close, don’t blame me for being rough,” said the man as he unlocked the container. He opened the door and saw a number of hostages still sleeping. He then looked at the professor on the floor. He went closer to nudge him but did not get a response. It seemed like the professor needed medical attention. “Come on. Help me get him out.” The other man outside the container was on edge, looking as if he would pull the trigger at the slightest movement. “Why don’t we do it?” Callahan and Miguel volunteered. “You two
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3742 Leave the Rest to Me
“It’s freaking troublesome.” “Boss, don’t worry about it. We’ll get an update tomorrow.” “Yeah. It’s late. Get some rest.” Tiguan’s men told him to get some rest and not worry so much. A few of them were already snoring on the chair. Tiguan sighed and killed the cigarette. He then closed his eyes to get some rest, too. The container that Kaze was in fell into silence once more. No one dared to make any noise but they all looked at Kaze, hoping to find out about his plans. Kaze’s eyes remained fixed on the window and showed no intention of revealing his thoughts. Miguel and Callahan were annoyed by the other hostages. “If you people want to get out of here alive, you better cooperate or come up with your own idea. No one is responsible for saving you.”“Yeah. I don’t want you guys to turn on us after we do all the heavy lifting. It will cost us our lives and you people won’t even be grateful.” Miguel’s tone was sarcastic because he disliked how the others looked at t
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3741 Better Be Wrong Than Miss the Target
Kaze read the hostages’ minds and refused to be used. He wanted to leave but not under such circumstances. “That’s not true. We just don’t have the skills for this kind of situation. You guys are stronger, of course, you should be in the front,” said the man in glasses and a suit. A hint of sharpness gleamed in his eyes. Miguel knew what the man was planning, either. “That’s some plan you have there. You are just trying to use us to escape this place and no matter what happens, you’ll win.” “That’s not it! I just want everyone to stand together and get out of this place. I’ve never thought of using anyone!” the man argued, trying to look innocent. Even a monkey knew what he was planning, yet no one dared to speak up because they would benefit from it too. “Why don’t you guys think of something? If you need our help, we’ll help,” said another middle-aged gentleman who looked more just and fair, as if he could lead the group. “Then what is your plan?” Kaze suddenly wante
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3740 No Plan
The hostages were locked up in the containers. Some of them were elites in their own field while some were ordinary people with average income, yet all of them got into trouble when they boarded the plane. Most of them could not accept their fate. Yet they dared not defy or resist the mercenaries. When things started to calm down, they broke down in tears, weeping in silence as resentment consumed them. Kaze sat down at a clean corner that allowed him to look outside the window. The window was dirty but at least he could see outside. The space inside the container was filled with people sitting closely, offering comfort to one another. They were aware they were just temporarily safe in this container. No one knew what the mercenaries would do to them at the next moment. “My parents must be worried. I said I would call them when I land but now I can’t even get in touch,” Barney muttered as he sat beside Kaze. He too looked outside the window, his feelings mixed. He watc
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3739 Need A Hero
Kaze thought of what he had overheard in the toilet. If he told the hostages about that, they would probably panic. “It’s nothing. They are just going to separate us into different rooms or containers. They said the buses would be disposed of,” he said. He did not want to reveal too much because it would cause panic. Once the hostages knew their lives were on the line, things might spiral out of control. The mercenaries could kill a few of them to make an example, and none of the hostages would dare to cause problems anymore. Kaze kept it a secret because he wanted to protect the people. “That’s it?” “Is there anything else? How many men are there? What is their plan? Who are they looking for?” “We want to know because we want to survive. This isn't our problem—we just got caught up in it.” The hostages looked at Kaze, their eyes filled with worry. They felt aggrieved because they should not be caught in such a huge problem. “I don’t know either.” No matter how m
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3738 Another Way
“There’s a room there. Get in.” The mercenary pointed his gun at the mother and son, which led them to look at Kaze nervously, seemingly asking for help. “What do you want?” The mother was nervous. She clutched her son’s hand tightly, nearly making him cry, but she reacted quickly enough to cover her son’s mouth to prevent him from doing so. “All women must go into that room. You go in now,” the mercenary explained. He did not want the woman to get the wrong idea. “You people won’t hurt me, right?” the mother asked, worried that she might be ravaged. “We are not into MILF,” said the other mercenary who was escorting Kaze, indirectly assuring the mother. Kaze shot a glance at the mother and nodded at her. “They told us they were going to separate us, so there’s nothing to worry about,” he said, worried that the mother and son would not cooperate. The mother then carried her son and followed the other mercenary into the room. It was called a room but it was actually ju
