“You’re supposed to be the chief instructor of Glowmoss Foreign Legion. I’m disappointed.”Kaze kicked Gunter away in disgust before turning to Niko. “Your uncle is kneeling before me, Niko.“What’s your pick? “Are you going to beg me on your knees or take me down with you?” Kaze sneered. The mutual destruction was a joke. Several hundred Zion Mercenaries could not possibly take him down. “I… I…” As beads of sweat rolled off his forehead, Niko was at a loss for words. He was under immense pressure from Kaze. Even in the face of the strongest Glowmoss military, he had never been put in the spot. The urge drove him to kneel before Kaze. Truth be told, the same drive stirred within many at the reveal of Kaze’s identity. Niko was able to keep it together until now owing to his persistence. That was enough to set him apart from his peers. The ego in Niko was the only thing stopping him from kneeling and pleading. “I’d rather die than kneel to you.” Though he fel
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1837 The Powells’ Survival
Three days later, the turmoil that rocked South River State gradually subsided. Those with the inside scoop of the incident at Jade Estate kept mum. Those uninvolved would never know the truth. However, the outcome was for all to see. Kaze carried on living life like before. Though he was no longer the mayor of Lilyrose, Shangrila Group and Sky Ocean Corporation operated as usual without any disruptions. Those who sided with the Powells were in for it. Gunter disappeared into thin air. Rumor had it that Gunter was sealed in a coffin alive and delivered back to the Glowmoss Powells upon his death. No one had any way of validating the matter. The Powells all across Arcadia, save for the dozens who left Lilyrose alive, vanished without a trace too. It would be shocking if that amount of people died in Lilyrose. Still, nobody knew where they went. A handful of people assumed from the choppers emerging above Jade Estate during the funeral that Lilyrose Strategic Dep
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1838 Sanwell Finances
For the Glowmoss government, 200 million Uleania dollars was not much. The point was that the five hundred-odd individuals successfully snuck into Arcadia through the operation of several major Glowmoss organizations. The loss would be immeasurable if the root cause was not addressed. Besides, the Glowmoss government was insulted with the matter blowing up in their faces; they were furious, to say the least. The Powells, responsible for the incident, were bound to face the wrath of the government and the people. The Glowmoss government could possibly play the blame game and make a scapegoat out of the Powells. With that in mind, Ian shuddered. “You’re right, Uncle Ivan. This concerns the survival of the family. We need to save ourselves.” Ian bowed before Ivan. “I hope to seek your guidance.” After much contemplation, Ivan said, “First, we need to disassociate ourselves from Gunter and pin the whole thing on him. He started it anyway, so he should take responsibilit
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1839 Mayoral Candidates
Ivan flew to Cousbank, an island nation, to meet with the leader of Sanwell Finances. Sanwell Finances got down to business right away. The corporation agreed to swap businesses with the Powells. … It was Kaze’s first visit to the mayor’s office since he stepped down. Nevertheless, he was not there for business. He came to collect his personal items from the office. Kaze even stored the Nether Viper Sword from the Viper Queen. Despite being merely a replica, the sword served as the badge of office for the West State branch leader of the Viper’s Den. Trouble would stir if the sword fell into the wrong hands. “Have you finalized the mayoral candidates?” Kaze asked Caleb and Lou who were moving boxes behind Kaze. Caleb replied, “Due to the city upgrade, the running for the next new mayor has become intense. “We can expect to see many powerhouses. Heck, the deputy mayors from cities in South River State and Butterworth put their names in too.” Due to the military
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1840 Miru Goes Blind-Dating Again
Caleb said, “Because of the incident with the Glowmoss Powells, Lee Investment pulls out of Lilyrose and wants to take over their businesses. “Samson came to the mayor’s office to ask if the local council wants to take over the few private hospitals. “I think Samson is trying to show you where his loyalty lies.” Kaze paused and smiled amusedly. “Oh, are the Lees scared now?” Since Cosmo lost his manhood, Kaze had no doubt that George, Cosmo’s father, would lose it. Isaac assigned seasoned internal security officers to protect Darcy, Winnie, and the others. Gunter’s death spooked the Lees, banishing their thoughts about revenge. That was not the only thing. Lee Investment immediately pulled out of Lilyrose. Multiple entities had gathered in Lilyrose, hoping to get a share of profits in the Lilyrose New City project. Yet, the Lees chose to do the exact opposite. It appeared the Lees had withdrawn from the competition and given up on securing a share. “Let the intere
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1841 Lordship
In high society, sons from established and prominent families were typically addressed formally. However, lordship was reserved for the truly powerful house, carrying the weight of a significant legacy to be inherited. While there were no written rules in the social hierarchy concerning lordship, those who valued tradition and lineage tended to adopt these distinctions. Even within the elite families, not everybody was considered for lordship. Only those groomed from a young age as potential leaders, destined to take over the family’s vast holdings, were positioned for this title.These very people were destined for a life at the top. They were born with a silver spoon. Privilege was written in their stars. “Did that scare you?” Miru pouted at Kaze’s expression. “Well, I don’t blame you. Lordship is beyond any commoner’s reach. “Heck, a life of wealth is unattainable for many anyway. “One out of thousands might be talented and lucky enough to be successful.“Lords
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1842 My Aunt Wants to See You
“That woman is capable. She managed to pull the family through uncertainty years ago. “Albert was able to become the chief commander of South River Strategic Department because of her. “The family eats out of her hand. “Since she wants to marry me off, apparently for my own good, the other family members don’t see why they would object to it.” It appeared that Miru’s stepmother had her ways. Despite being the woman Miru’s father married after his divorce, she managed to secure power in the family. The Hidens were a prominent family. Yet, the woman was able to seize control. “But why did you call me here? “I doubt I’m a good listener,” Kaze said, shrugging. Kaze did not mind stepping in to help Miru if she did not want to walk down the marriage path. Miru was Darcy’s best friend after all. No one could make Miru do anything on his watch. Miru glanced at him and said, “Someone wants to meet you.” “Me? Who?” Kaze was taken aback. Miru replied, “My aunt. She’s
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 1843 Take it as an Insult
“That’s right.” Kaze nodded with a smile. “That’s what friends do. I was just being a friend.” “What did you say? Being a friend?” Something Kaze said triggered Fanny off as she stared Kaze down. “The nerve of you. “Don’t you know you made Miru a joke? “Aren’t you the moocher? “You are giving my family a bad name by behaving like Miru’s boyfriend.” Fanny then shot an angry look at Miru, reproaching her for her poor choice. The smile on Kaze’s face disappeared. He realized that Miru probably got her sharp tongue from her aunt. Fanny put a label on him right away. Kaze was only courteous because Fanny was Miru’s aunt. Since Fanny did not play nice, Kaze could drop the act. Kaze said in a flat tone, “So I’m giving the Harrowdale Hidens a bad name by acting as Miru’s boyfriend? “So what do you call a woman who forces her daughter to marry for the sake of business?” Fanny furrowed her brows and said furiously, “How dare you insult my family, boy? Who do you t

“Kaze can pull the punches for sure. I mean, he has the Butterworth branch chief’s trust for a reason. “There has to be something for him to win the branch chief’s approval.” Edmund doubted there was depth to Kaze. After all, Edmund decided whether to take on a person based on their abilities. It made no sense to pay attention to losers, as he would hold them in contempt. Edmund had been impressed with Herman, who excelled in strategies and management. That was why Edmund bumped Herman up and made sure he stayed on top. “Got it.” Herman nodded and had one foot out the door. “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. There’s one more thing.” Edmund pointed at the table. Herman approached and stood on bent knees. Pleased with Herman’s submission, Edmund passed him a wine glass. Herman took the drink humbly before looking carefully at Edmund, awaiting his orders. “The wine was just airlifted from abroad. I can vouch for the taste. If you’re looking to sip on the finest, yo
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3769 Keep Tabs
Time went by, and a towering man in a suit showed up outside the door. Picking up on the noise inside the room, he knocked on the door. It was hard to tell whether the person inside could hear the knocking, so the man waited outside. The door was opened, and a woman, her face flawless with makeup, popped her head out and saw him. She cocked her head back at Edmund. “You have a guest, Mr. Witterson.” “Let him in,” Edmund instructed. He then leaned in to take the drink from the girl next to him with his mouth. The other girls cheered him on. The group was lost in their fun. The man, who entered the room, stood by the sofa respectfully. He kept his head down, his gaze staying low at the bottles of alcohol spread across the table. It was a bit of a wait before the man approached at Edmund’s order. “Tell me about Dwight.”While listening to the girls’ singing, Edmund turned to Herman. Herman rushed over as soon as Edmund called. He won a lot of money at poker toda
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3768 No Problem
In this particular circumstance, Morris had to play it safe so that things would not get out of hand. The last thing he wanted was to be dragged into the mess. At least, he finally saw the Wittersons’ true colors. Morris’ friendly advice was met with disrespect and insult. However, the Wittersons were a force of nature, and Morris was not about to take them head-on. Despite his frustration, Morris had to walk away. Well, Edmund would soon face his downfall at the height of his power, and Morris would be there to enjoy the ride. Still, it did not sit well with Morris to have a young fella walk all over him. It had crossed his mind to keep the Wittersons in check, but there was only so much he could do. Morris had to be the one to back away as the Wittersons grew haughty. Morris believed there was more to Kaze’s visit to Westeros. Nothing major happened in Westeros recently. At least, there was nothing worth the other branch’s attention. However, a representative of the
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3767 Your Choice
Morris suggested entertaining Kaze well. Things would not be good for the branch if Kaze got dirt on them. That was where Edmund disagreed with Morris. His idea was to send someone to sound Kaze out. Edmund was smug because Morris’ decision was wrong. “You shouldn’t do that. Kaze is here on behalf of the Butterworth branch. You don’t want tension between both branches.” Morris looked at things from a wider perspective. Edmund believed Kaze was just a doormat of little importance. “You just overthink things, and it’s not good for your age. You’re getting senile.” Edmund did not take Morris’ advice seriously. He believed he was right. “You’re not getting it. Kaze is from Butterworth. Even if he doesn’t hold a high position there, we were in the wrong. We did not keep our tracks clean either. “Now that he’s back, I’m worried that he’ll cause us harm.” Morris was only giving a heads-up because the whole branch was at stake. Edmund was young. Due to his lack of judgmen
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3766 Worried for Nothing
“We should be generous to our guest from Butterworth. You can arrange as you see fit. Please don’t house him in a messy home. Hire cleaners to tidy up the place. “You can report back to me if you need more money, but it’s not a reason for you to misuse the funds.” Herman wanted to hang up. The money was now in Dwight’s bank account, so he was washing his hands off the matter. The plan was to keep Kaze happy. He was just an insignificant member of the Butterworth branch anyway. The whole thing would blow over soon enough, so long as Kaze kept to himself without taking things too far. Herman would figure out a way to get him out quickly anyway. Maybe Herman and his friends did not have to do anything to get rid of Kaze. “Got it. I’ll be a good host, Herman. I won’t let you down. I’ll keep you in the loop.” Dwight was over the moon to get the notification about the money transfer. “Just play by ear and arrange what you see best.” Herman hung up and continued playing pok
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3765 Good Hospitality
“It’s becoming a hassle now. Are you going to inform the Viper’s Den about the change of accommodation?” After much hesitation, Kaze nodded to take up the offer. Dwight was thrilled. It only hit Dwight that he had to communicate with the Viper’s Den. Kaze was booked for a hotel stay, and Dwight’s job was to take him to the destination. Yet now, Dwight took him to his home. “I’ll tell my superior and see what he has to say.” Dwight was not sure whether the change was appropriate. Nevertheless, he did not want to pass up on a great opportunity. He simply grabbed the bull by the horn. If Kaze stayed at his place, the Viper’s Den members had to respect Kaze’s request even if they had a problem with it. “But when they ask, you can say that you’re getting along well with me. Living together just makes work more convenient.” Feeling unsettled, Dwight tried to get their stories straight with Kaze. Hopefully, the Viper’s Den would not come after them. “Aren’t we friends? I k
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3764 Dwight’s Home
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,
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3763 Accommodation
“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
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3762 My Treat
“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
