Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 1810 Hannibal Nectar
The womanโs voice was not fierce by any means but it felt pressuring. Her name was Morgana Powell, the governor of a certain state in the North State, sharing the same rank as Loid. Despite being a woman, she too was a regional commander in her own state, which was considered rare. Other than her outstanding capabilities, her family also played a big role in helping her advance her career. She was from the Powell family of the North State, which was one of the most powerful families there. The North State Powells were considered the strongest among all the other branches across Arcadia. Then, the middle-aged man beside Morgana said in a strong voice, โLoid, as colleagues, we do not want to force you against your will, but the mayor of Lilyrose has crossed the line. He practically enraged every Powell family branch in Arcadia, which led to the wrath of the foreign branch in Glowmoss. โWhen it comes to foreign affairs, itโs always serious. If Glowmossโ side voices out their

Hannibal Nectar, one of the five senior ministers of the cabinet in Arcadia. The cabinet had control over all the internal affairs of the country, which made them the strongest institute. It was even stronger than the Strategic Department and the Ministry of Justice. The five senior ministers of the cabinet, or elders, were the five of the most powerful people in the country. โElder Nectar, whatโฆ I seeโฆ I understandโฆ Yes.โ After the brief conversation, Loid's expression remained astonished for quite a while. Both Neegan and Morgana were curious about what the elder said on the phone. โLoid, was that Elder Nectar? What did he say?โ Neegan asked out of curiosity. Then, he realized his question was inappropriate, so he quickly explained, โIf itโs confidential, then just forget it.โ Loid stared at the two of them for a while before he said, โElder Nectar said Lilyrose will see a storm coming. The South River Governorโs Office is only responsible for managing the situation
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 1812 Turn a Blind Eye
Gunter scanned the men and women in front of him with a slight curl of his lip. They were the representatives sent here by the Powell family branches in Arcadia. Each of them represented their respective faction. Some from the government departments, some from the underworld, and some from the Strategic Department. With such a large force under his control, Gunter could do anything he wanted in Arcadia. โMorgana, Neegan, you guys are back!โ someone said. Almost a hundred representatives of different Powell family branches turned to the entrance; those who sat stood up. Among all the representatives, Morgana and Neegan held the most powerful positions as regional commanders and governors of their respective states. Everyone welcomed them back with open arms. The two of them went straight to Gunter without pause and nodded at the man. โUncle Gunter.โ Even the regional commanders had to behave properly before the high-ranking officer of Glowmossโ military. Sitting
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 1813 A Bland Send-Off
It was actually quite normal. Arcadia was no longer a weak country that was scared of global rivals. Most of the time, the officials would just ignore such comments or demands, turning a deaf ear or a blind eye at them. Why would the cabinet request the governor of the South River State to turn a blind eye to the matter? What exactly happened? Gunter could not figure it out. โMaybe the cabinet did not respond directly because they wanted to save face. They still pressured the South River State Governorโs Office to stay out of my wayโฆโ Gunter muttered to himself. With that, he laughed hysterically. โIt seems like the stars have aligned! Kaze Lee will die for sure this time!โ Gunter got up and looked at everyone in the hall. He raised his hand and said loudly, โTomorrow, we will march to Lilyrose and take Kaze Leeโs life!โ โAye!โโ Starting with Morgana and Neegan, all of them got up and bowed at Gunter. Gunter then asked Luis, โWhat are the replies from the Vikrom

Lou and Caleb knew Kazeโs plans, they had confidence in him. However, the plans were confidential, so many were doubtful if Kaze could survive this. The deputy mayors felt bad for him. Kaze was calm. He said, โI did my best while I was mayor. I really donโt care about people attending the send-off party or not. Letโs just get on with it. After this, I still have some other things to take care of.โ โฆCompared to the empty send-off party, Jade Estate was much more crowded and lively. A grand mourning hall was established at the estate, beside the lake. Sad music was being played and priests were praying. People in black suits filled the mourning hall. There were even multiple buff and tall men holding umbrellas around the premises, watching guards with a blank look. From a birdโs eye view, the place was painted in black as more than ten thousand people attended in suits. They were lining up to pay respect to the deceased. Only a number of them were from Lilyrose as

The mourners were talking about the Powells. The familyโs strength shocked and scared many people at the scene. Before this funeral, the Glowmoss Powells were just a foreign faction with noble roots. They might be powerful and hold a prestigious status but they did not have a strong foundation in Arcadia. A faraway enemy was not as terrifying as the local families. The threats they used to pose were near to nothing. Now, they were all proven wrong by the sheer display of strength. When Gunter stepped up and gathered all the scattered Powells in Arcadia, they immediately became a powerful force that should be reckoned with. Their combined strength could easily crush even the strongest family in Arcadia, yet they gathered because of Kaze. Even if Kaze was the mayor of Lilyrose and his wife had a few sizable companies, it was still an overkill. Some even said they were squashing an ant with the elephantโs foot. Many knew the display of strength was not just to target

โI, Gunter Powell, represent the Powell family of Glowmoss and all the other family branches in Arcadia, hereby declaring war! โIf the city council stands in my way, I will run them down; if the South River State Governorโs Office stands in my way, I will tear them down!โ Gunterโs fierce declaration shocked everyone at the scene. He was ready to run down the city council and tear down the governorโs office! No one else but him had the nerve and audacity to speak so boldly. Both the governors of different states, Morgana and Neegan, looked at Gunter with an enthusiastic gaze. They were governors themselves and knew better than anyone what the position of governor meant. Gunter had the audacity to disregard the governorโs office. His boldness and confidence convinced Morgana and Neegan that following their distant relatives from another country was the right choice. With his lead, the Powells and their career would welcome a bright future. In short, their personal gains

The Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families came to the funeral. Behind them was a group of eighteen men, carrying an expensive and large casket. What was the casket for? Was it an act of provocation? As the attendees pondered, Gunter, at the forefront, said coldly, โVikrom, Logman, Joestar, you are late, but since youโve prepared an expensive casket for Sonny, Iโll spare your lives. โNow, come up here and get on your knees!โ Gunter had known since yesterday that the three families bought an expensive gilded agar wood casket. He simply thought the three families were late because of the delivery of the casket. Despite that, he insisted that they kneel and pay respect to Sonny in front of the other attendees because they were Kazeโs loyal followers. With them on their knees, it would send a message to the others, thus deterring and scaring them. As Gunter spoke, the other participants were struck with realization.

The incident did not sit well with Kaze, so he left them out to dry. After much searching, Kaze came across a cafรฉ. Kaze bought a cup of coffee. Cupping the drink between his hands, Kaze sipped slowly. Many passengers swarmed the arrival hall in the airport, dragging along their luggage or pulling out their phones to get a pick-up. They all had a destination, a place they had to be in a rush. Intrigued, Kaze followed the crowd out. Kaze turned on his phone, and a text message from his airport pick-up came in. He glanced at the message, curious about who the person was. Nevertheless, Kaze trusted that the Westeros Branch members would not set him up out in the open. At most, they would pull little stunts to mess with him. Kaze was not the type to sweat the small stuff. However, he would not tolerate any extreme behavior. He had been keeping a low profile back in Butterworth, keeping the limelight off him. The purpose was to handle Jet without unnecessary complicati

โAlright. I will work hard to be the manager of the Northborn Group. You need to show me the ropes and teach me about management.โ Leah looked at Katie with a smile. She believed Katie had not lost her mind. Katie simply had her memory mixed up. โYou need to keep your people in line and reward those who deserve it. It all boils down to profits. โYou need to work toward managing your people and working with rivals. Youโve got to keep the balance, and nobody loses out. โYou need to build your own system when it comes to working together. Donโt be led around by the nose.โ Hearing that Leah would start work soon, Katie imparted her knowledge. โDonโt worry too much about things. Joey is nice. You can go to her for help,โ Katie said earnestly. Katie seemed to be herself at the moment. Leah wondered if Katie faked her insanity to escape the punishment. โWhat have become of you? Did they do something to you? โDid you really betray Kaze?โ Leah whispered while leaning close
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3756 Mental Disorder
Leah kept working on her knowledge until late into the night. Just as she was about to hit the sack, she got a message from Snow. Learning was a hard enough process. The text message came out of the blue. Leah did not expect Snow to contact her at night. The message was strange as well. Leah could not understand why Snow would give her the address of a nursing home. Leah was determined to turn things around. She strived to become stronger instead of being a burden. She was grateful for Kazeโs help. At least, she had a job now. However, her gratitude was not extended to Snow. She believed Snow had gone too far. Snow left her feeling powerless. Leah did not think much about the message. She assumed that the text was not meant for her. Since Leah did not respond to the text, Snow put the matter aside and went to bed. Leah called Snow the next day. โWhy did you send me an address?โ Leah went straight to the question. She had been equipping herself with knowledge before
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3755 Nursing Home
Snow could not believe her eyes. Katie suddenly went quiet and behaved like the CEO she was.However, Katie did not look like she was right in the mind earlier. โWhatโs going on? She seems to have gone insane.โ Snow turned to the warden, still digesting the change. Katie had lost touch with reality before the Viperโs Den did anything to her. โHow did this happen? She has been taking her meals. Just days earlier, she nagged about getting out because she was worried about her daughter. As usual, we didnโt respond to her requests.โ The warden found the whole thing peculiar too. Just a few days ago, Katie demanded her release. Now, she kept to herself and abided by the rules. Out of the blue, Katie went nuts. Things had gotten complicated. Snow wanted to keep Katie behind bars due to her betrayal. However, Kaze decided against pursuing the matter for Leahโs sake. Katie would be let go soon enough, but she would lose her job at the Northborn Group. Katieโs presence woul
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3754 If You Show Any Remorse
It was quiet in the office. Snow sorted the last bit of paperwork before picking her head up in exhaustion. Her initial plan was to delegate the tasks. However, Katie was controlling. Previously, she personally oversaw many matters. Snow could not distribute the responsibilities because the employees had no experience in handling them. They came to Snow for every tiny, little thing, and Snow really got her hands full. Despite her frustration, Snow could let things go as Katie was locked up. โI should pay her visit.โ Snow decided to see Katie. Some things should not be left unsaid. Leah would be working for the Northborn Group soon, and the mother and daughter should meet to tie up loose ends. The truth would put Leah to shame, and her guilt would stop her from ever betraying Kaze. After a quick bite, Snow drove to the prison. Katie was furious when she was imprisoned. She was one step away from victory. She was so close to leaving Butterworth to head to Westeros
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3753 Everythingโs Gone
โWhy do you want to sell the properties? Do you need money? Donโt you have some saved?โ Joey had a good understanding of Leahโs finances since she ran all the paperwork. โMy mother is being held, and I need money to ask favors. Maybe I can get her out.โ Leah was not thinking much. Money could always be replaced, but not her motherโs freedom. โDonโt be silly. This is not the way to go.โ Though Joey did not have the details, she observed that things were not as simple as Leah thought. Kaze was safe now, but the fact that Katie had betrayed Kaze and revealed his whereabouts remained unchanged. Katie had broken the Viperโs Denโs rules. Even if she got out, she would be a wreck. With Snow running the Northborn Group, Katie would remain a failure. Either way, Katie would not get away with it. Even if Leah offered all her assets, Katieโs situation would not change. It was a waste of money and resources for Leah to save her mother. Nothing would come out of it. โBut I
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3752 Have You Decided?
โGive me an answer. Are you taking the job? If you are, you should sort out your affairs. Donโt bring your personal feelings to work.โ 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. โI didnโt know things would happen.โ 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. โWhy is this happening? My good friends have gone MIA, and Iโm getting silence from those who have been trying to connect.โ Sitting on the couch, Leah looked out the window in despair. She tried to seek help with her motherโs search, but her efforts were futile. She could do nothing for her mother. All al
Guardian-In-Lawย ย ย Chapter 3750 Take Over Northborn
โI have to work hard starting today. But before that, I have to get some sleep.โ 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. Katieโs 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
