Bang! Mosiah’s body, covered in blood, crashed on the ground. The point of impact left a massive crater behind and the cracks further extended outward. “Aaargh!” Under everyone’s horrified gaze, including Gunter, Mosiah groaned in pain. His arm literally exploded into bits and pieces. His body was badly damaged like a boulder hit him right in the chest. Blood spread across his body, resembling a web of cracks on his face and torso. “Mosiah!” Gunter growled loudly. His most valuable man was beaten up with just one punch, leaving the arm torn and his body badly damaged. The pain must be excruciating and it was not something an ordinary man could handle. Even Mosiah, a seasoned veteran who had seen life and death on the battlefield, could not do anything else but groan in pain like an ordinary person. “Your body is badly damaged. Even if you can survive this, you will be crippled. Why don’t I end your misery?” Draco said as he strolled over to Mosiah. “Kill me!”
“This is over! It’s over!” As the gangsters and killers surrendered, the other Powell family members were horrified. Their hands and feet turned cold and their faces turned ashen. No matter how stupid they were, they finally realized this whole thing was a trap set specifically for them. It was to wipe out the entire Powell family and its branches at one go. They were the stupid ones who stepped into the trap willingly. “No! Fuck!” Gunter shouted at the top of his lungs, his expression ferocious. His Three Great Legati were killed. The other men whom he brought from Glowmoss were targeted and wiped out. Almost ten thousand gangsters and killers were either killed or surrendered. It was not exaggerating to say that Gunter had lost everything. He had nothing left but himself and it was all because of Kaze. The live-in husband and son-in-law whom everyone looked down upon was a master hunter, pretending to be the prey to lure them in. When Gunter realized it, it w
“Bro, that old bastard is calling for help!” Conan spotted Gunter talking on his phone and quickly reported it to Kaze. Kaze raised his hand and smirked. “It’s fine. Let him call whoever he wants. We are done with the appetizer, let’s move on to the main course.” Eliminating Zion Mercenaries in Arcadia was Kaze’s true goal. If it was just to deal with some gangsters and killers, he would not have requested the Dragon’s Edge and the Battle Dragon Troops to be involved. Therefore, he simply turned a blind eye to Gunter calling for help and continued to ‘cleanse’ the battlefield. “On your knees!” “Put the gun away and let me see your hands!” The soldiers quickly suppressed and subdued the remaining nine thousand surviving gangsters and killers, forcing them to raise their hands in the air. There were almost ten thousand of them but only a few hundred died, less than one percent of the number. Yet one percent was all it needed for the army of gangsters to surrender, whi
Zion Mercenaries adopted the foreign legion’s system. The mercenaries would only take commands from their direct superior. Even though Gunter was the chief instructor, the mercenaries only complied with Ezekiel's commands. Therefore, when Gunter saw Ezekiel, he made his best offer, attempting to coax his nephew. He did whatever he could to maximize the chances of him escaping alive. Looking at his uncle who looked horrified and clutched to him as if he was a lifeline, Ezekiel was slightly disappointed. His uncle had lost it. The man was no longer the chief instructor who ruled with an iron fist. However, no matter what became of Gunter, Ezekiel was determined to take him away. His uncle could help him take control of the Powell family and he could inherit the connections and resources of the Glowmoss military. He nodded at Gunter and then went over to Kaze. “Hold it right there!” the captain of Dragon’s Edge bellowed. Ezekiel stopped several meters away from Kaze. H
If Kaze had the confidence to say it, then it meant that he was prepared to take out Zion Mercenaries. Otherwise, he would not be so calm and composed as if he had already won. “Kaze Lee, you can’t!” Morgana, the governor, shouted, “They are foreign visitors who came to our country via legitimate means. Some of them are security guards, some of them work for big companies, and some even work for foreign trust funds! “If you go after them, it will cause a series of diplomatic problems! The other countries will never let this go!” She was right. It was almost impossible for so many foreign visitors to stay in Arcadia without legitimate means, or else they would have to live like rats in the sewer without a life. Therefore, the mercenaries were safe as the authorities, or Kaze in this case, had no valid reasons to kill them, at least openly. The way Morgana called the mercenaries foreign visitors and talked about Arcadia being pressured by other countries made Kaze sick.
Maximizing profit and gains was the way of the mercenaries. After Ezekiel clearly expressed the intention of working together to earn money, what other reasons did Kaze have to move against them? It would do Kaze no good at all. “Well then, Mr. Lee, can we leave?” Ezekiel asked with a smile. Kaze emotionlessly answered, “No.” “What is the meaning of this, Mr. Lee?” Ezekiel’s confident smile froze. He looked at Kaze with furrowed brows. Why would Kaze refuse to let them go? Ezekiel had made it clear, yet Kaze refused to cooperate. Kaze ignored Ezekiel’s question. He stood with his hands behind his back and said without looking back, “Draco, tell him. Do I, Kaze Lee, have the right to represent Arcadia to wage war against Glowmoss?” After the words escaped his mouth, Draco stepped forward and under everyone’s curious gaze, he removed his ridiculous sunglasses. The moment he showed his face, Gunter, Ezekiel, Morgana, Neegan, and everyone else was astonished. “D-Dra
With a look of doubt and grievance, the mercenary plunged to the ground, lifeless. It was shocking that Draco would fire the gun without saying a word. Everyone was horrified by the chief commander’s resolute action. “YOU!” Ezekiel’s expression turned ashen. He glared at Draco with anger and fear. Draco put his gun down and said coldly, “You want war right? Now you just got yourself a valid excuse. “I’ll give you a chance to call Glowmoss military and ask them whether they dare to declare war against the God of War!” A phone was tossed into Ezekiel’s hands. He got so nervous that he could barely catch it. He dared not make the call. He simply stared at Kaze and asked timidly, “Y-You are really the God of War?” It was not a question but a statement. Be it Draco or the Dragon’s Edge and the Battle Dragon Troops, all the soldiers looked at Kaze with utmost respect and admiration. It was like the men saw God in person and started worshiping him. On the other hand,
Before this, Gunter was somewhat unconvinced by the God of War. He thought of training a few capable men, hoping to have a chance to challenge the legendary man in the future. Mosiah was one of his most successful talents. However, Gunter realized he did not even have the strength to stand straight before the God of War. What happened before his eyes cleansed him of his unrealistic fantasy. Kaze did not even need to move and Draco had already destroyed Mosiah with just one punch. “Gunter Powell, do you think you still have a future?” Kaze asked as he looked at the man. He continued, “You are originally an Arcadian. I don’t blame you if you don’t like this country and want to leave, but you don’t have to hurt it. “Look at what you have done now. To prove your loyalty to your master in Glowmoss, you led the foreign legion to wage war against Arcadia many years ago. “After you were discharged, you continued to serve the enemy. You even used your status to gather the Powell
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
Kaze observed as the jeep took off further off course, past the towering buildings to a run-down neighborhood. “This is where I usually reside. My home is not too far away, but I think you might have trouble adapting to this place.” Dwight did not forget to book Kaze a hotel. Kaze could not possibly stay with him. The hotel was around the area anyway. “Didn’t you say that you haven’t tried the local cuisine? I’ll take you out for a bite. “The barbecue ribs here are to die for. We’ve got the dry-rubbed and saucy kind.” Dwight parked the car and hopped out right away. Opposite the parking lot was not the cleanest food joint. Looking in from the outside, Kaze realized that the place was packed. Kaze understood that the restaurant must be known for some kind of dish. The customers were from all walks of life, so the food must be great. “There’s not much to see here, but the food is tasty. If you don’t mind, we can order something inside.” Kaze was not particularly con
Dwight was surprised and curious as to who Kaze really was. From what he gathered, Kaze was a confidante of the Butterworth Branch chief. The purpose of Kaze’s visit was to learn and share. Dwight worked on the fringes, so his access to information was limited. Nevertheless, he got the feeling that Kaze was just an ordinary guy just like him. The only difference was that Kaze was lucky to rub shoulders with important people. Dwight did not get chances like that. “Who are the most influential people in the Viper’s Den Westeros Branch?” Kaze asked in the car. Dwight was taken aback by the question. Still, he had an answer to that. “So you don’t know much about the situation?” Dwight suddenly felt important. “Well, I’m new to the city. I will be running into them soon, so I need to make sure I get my facts right,” Kaze said humbly. This was Dwight’s shot, and he needed to present his best. “Relax, Kaze. I’ll tell you everything I know.” Dwight would reveal some info
Kaze glanced at the flowers. There was a card for well-wishes too.Curious, Kaze reached out to read the card. It was written, “To my eternal lover and sweetheart.” Dwight grabbed Kaze’s bag. Since the sign in his hand was getting in the way, Dwight tossed the placard in the trash can. As Dwight turned his head back, he saw Kaze reading the card that came with the flowers. He tried to stop Kaze, but it was too late. Dwight had not attended to a guest of high importance before. The task was assigned to him at the last minute. In the past, Dwight was usually on the sidelines, never getting close to major matters. He would always get the small, insignificant jobs. Dwight often bought drinks for his superiors to build connections. However, he had always been kept out of the loop. Now that an opportunity had fallen onto his lap, Dwight was not about to let it slip. He wanted to show what he could do. When Dwight arrived at the airport for the pick-up, most people car
The incident did not sit well with Kaze, so he left them out to dry. After much searching, Kaze came across a café. 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
“Alright. I will work hard to be the manager of the Northborn Group. You need to show me the ropes and teach me about management.” Leah looked at Katie with a smile. She believed Katie had not lost her mind. Katie simply had her memory mixed up. “You need to keep your people in line and reward those who deserve it. It all boils down to profits. “You need to work toward managing your people and working with rivals. You’ve got to keep the balance, and nobody loses out. “You need to build your own system when it comes to working together. Don’t be led around by the nose.” Hearing that Leah would start work soon, Katie imparted her knowledge. “Don’t worry too much about things. Joey is nice. You can go to her for help,” Katie said earnestly. Katie seemed to be herself at the moment. Leah wondered if Katie faked her insanity to escape the punishment. “What have become of you? Did they do something to you? “Did you really betray Kaze?” Leah whispered while leaning close
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 Kaze’s 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. “Why did you send me an address?” Leah went straight to the question. She had been equipping herself with knowledge before
