“What did you say? You think too highly of yourself, you bastard!” Cole was amused by Kaze's words. He had never seen such a shameless person before. Buffy curled her lips into a smirk, her eyes had nothing but contempt for Kaze. Professor Wilson could no longer tolerate Kaze questioning his profession. He looked at Kent and said, “Mr. Synder, are you going to let this conman keep questioning me? I said I can cure your daughter, I am confident but I don’t want some random guy to mess up my treatment. “If you don’t make him leave, then I will assume that you are with him and you are also questioning my profession. I will leave instead.” He feigned walking away. Cole quickly held him back and said, “Professor, wait! My uncle doesn’t mean it!” “Uncle Kent, say something! If Professor Wilson walks, Myra might not recover anymore!” Jane held Kent’s arm. “Kent, I don’t know why you trust this young man but we finally see some progress in Myra’s treatment. Are you just going
Nevertheless, Cole was still alarmed by Kaze’s presence. He could not accept that Kaze simply laid his hands on Myra using the excuse of checking on her condition. His cousin was the subject of his sexual fantasy. First of all, Myra was adopted and she was not related to him by blood. He was so obsessed with her looks and body that his view of her started to get twisted. Even while he slept with other women, he would fantasize about her. More importantly, if he married Myra, he could inherit all the resources and wealth from Kent and no longer have to work hard in this lifetime. Therefore, he could not accept Kaze laying his fingers on Myra. “I have to find a way to remove him once and for all.” Cole narrowed his eyes. He walked to the corner and started texting. …“Mr. Lee, the mayor wants me to apologize on his behalf. You are here to help and he appreciates your gesture, but Myra’s condition is their priority now. As a parent, Mr. Synder didn’t want to give up o
Another voice message followed after the video. This time, it was Ryna’s voice. “What’s wrong, feel bad? I’m telling you, we are going to use all the herbs you give us and you can’t do anything about it! Hahaha, tens of millions worth of foot spa, not even the rich and powerful can live our life now…” Kaze sighed at Ryna’s provocation. He replied helplessly, “As long as you are happy.” Ryna sent several more voice messages to provoke Kaze but he was smart enough to ignore all of them. Meanwhile, at the Yemens’ family home, Ryna was annoyed that she did not get a reply. “Lock, is this how your student should behave? He’s not replying. Where are his manners?” Ryna was so annoyed that she did not get a reply. She tossed the phone to the side and complained to Lock. She was hinting at her husband to not accept Kaze, and it was best for him to cut all ties. Lock helplessly said, “If you want respect, you should learn how to respect others first. You are just being petty.”
“Cyan, my daughter Nadia just got a boyfriend. The guy just returned from studying abroad and his family gave him fifty million as a startup fund. “His startup is on the rise and he even gave Nadia a company for her to manage. I already take him as my future son-in-law. He said Nadia can do whatever she wants with the company and he can take care of the rest. “It’s not easy for Nadia to find such a rich and kind boyfriend. We as parents do not need to worry about her anymore.” Claudia sounded proud when she bragged about her daughter’s boyfriend, her lips were so wide that the corners almost touched her ears. Cyan looked slightly jealous. “Oh ya, I saw Nadia’s post the other day and she received a company from her boyfriend. She is also famous on social media.” Wesley was also trying to pursue her by giving her gifts but not to the point of gifting a whole company. Claudia said happily, “Really? I heard from our other neighbor that you are also an influencer right? I heard
Heath had a bloated figure and when he smiled at Lock, it made him look amusing. “Lock, my future son-in-law went on a business trip a while back and got a hundred million investment. He brought some wild ginseng from Mt. White back for me. “It’s considered the highest grade and can cost up to a million. I made some liquor with it, so I thought of bringing it over to have a drink with you.” Ryna was speechless when they heard Heath, their eyelids twitching. Before Heath revealed the price of the ginseng, she wanted to say the ginseng liquor was nothing because Wesley gave her the blood bird’s nest that cost two hundred thousand a piece. However, when she learned of the price, she felt embarrassed and was smart enough not to speak about it. Lock instantly understood that Heath came over to his house just to show off the ginseng liquor. He said indifferently, “Wild ginseng that cost a million? Are you kidding me? Heath, you deal in herbs, I hope you are right about this. If i
“Lock, you used these herbs for foot spa?! What a damn waste! You ungrateful bastard!” Heath shouted at Lock, expressing his grievance. His eyes were burning with the flames of rage, wishing that he could tear Lock apart. Everyone else was stunned, including Lock. “Are the herbs that I used expensive?” Ryna was not stupid. Based on Heath’s reaction, she realized something and her eyes had been fixated on him since. Even Cyan started to breathe hurriedly. “Expensive?” Heath scoffed angrily. He shouted, “The herbs in your stupid massage pail cost at least ten million! “You dumb idiot, you mindless bastard! Did you rob a bank? Not even the rich and powerful are so wasteful. What is wrong with you?” He was deeply agitated. He bragged about his ginseng liquor but Lock used tens of millions of herbs as ingredients for a foot spa. The liquor that he drank was not even one-tenth of the herbal solution that Lock used to soak his feet. Of course, he was annoyed and mad.
“Lock, why don’t you call Kaze again and ask if there are more of the valuable herbs? “If there’s more, ask for it. Just tell him to bring them to you as a token of respect. “Did you see Heath’s reaction just now? If we can give the herbs away to the rich and powerful, we can get ourselves a lot of connections and resources!” Ryna stared at her husband with widened eyes filled with anticipation. Lock’s expression stiffened. “Nonsense! I will not do such a shameless thing! I used to be a teacher and I… Hey! What are you doing?!” Before he could finish, Ryna snatched his phone away and called Kaze directly. “Mr. Yemen, what is it? It’s late already.” Kaze’s voice came from the phone when the call got through. He was still in Conan’s car going back to the hotel when he received the call. If it was from Ryna or Cyan, he would not answer the call but the caller ID showed Lock’s number, so he answered it. “Kaze, hi. It’s me, Ryna. I want to ask if you still have those her
A thug with a baseball bat in his hand pointed at Conan, threatening him. “Put it away,” Kaze said indifferently. He then looked at the thug and asked, “Who are you guys?” Conan put his phone away immediately. His men were capable enough to deal with the thugs. In other words, they did not pose a threat to Kaze. “You will find out real soon.” The thug glanced at Kaze and then took his phone out. “Mr. Libra, we got the punk here in the parking lot of the five-star hotel.” “Great. Nicely done. I’m on my way! Keep him busy! I want to teach him a lesson that he will not forget. I want him to know who he can mess with and who he cannot. “After tonight, I want him to be terrified of Cole Libra for the rest of his life!” A few minutes later, a Mercedes drove into the parking lot, drifting to a stop in front of Kaze and the other thugs. Then, several more jeeps followed in through the entrance. A dozen more thugs came down from the jeeps and some of them even had a female
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
“Then what should we do?” “What else? Give him a VIP room and try to hold him down.” Rosie was displeased but she had to handle the matter herself. Clemont was a proud man. If he felt embarrassed in any way, he would certainly cause more problems. Rosie was afraid that he would do something rash once provoked. He was a man with a background. Even if he made a mistake, his father could cover up for him. However, if the club’s business was affected, Edmund would hold her responsible. That was why Rosie saw Clemont as a problem. “But they are heading to the suite already,” the bouncer said, looking worried. He had a premonition of something bad happening. “What are you guys doing?!” Rosie glared at the bouncer. They were usually smart and quick-witted so she did not have to worry about many things. Yet they let Clemont through?! “There are too many customers today. All the rooms are booked, so we have to make new arrangements.” “The other bouncer at the entranc
To many youngsters, Absolute Zero was a mysterious place. Young men and women from a better background were forbidden to set foot into the club. It was not because of the environment, but because of the human relationship within the establishment. The club was a gateway to the underworld and once exposed, the youngsters might thread onto the wrong path. Clemont was not allowed to go to Absolute Zero. However, he knew the club belonged to the Wittersons, which was his father’s rival. Therefore, he had been planning to help his father. He often used his father’s name to spend money at the club to annoy them. He brought his friends here today to show off his wealth and power. He wanted to let his friends know that he, too, was capable. “Young Master Siegfried! You’re awesome!” While surrounded by flattery, Clemont walked down the stairs to the entrance with his friends. The bouncers knew Clemont, so when he arrived, they quickly informed the management. They dared no
Kaze finally got some surprising news: Edmund had booked a room at Absolute Zero tomorrow for a business talk. In addition, Morris’ son was a regular at the club. Edmund and Morris were rivals but they looked peaceful in the open. No one knew how fierce the competition was under the table. Morris wanted to put his son in charge of the Viper’s Den but was unsure if his son could handle the matter. According to Zeeny, Morris’ son was a trust fund baby. His only ability was to make friends over alcohol. Maybe the young man liked being surrounded and flattered by people. Due to his father’s position, he was always flooded with friends and people interested in his resources. His so-called friends were just drinking buddies. None of them were any help to his career. It was the reason why Edmund did not take the son seriously. Kaze had a feeling that tomorrow would bring something interesting. They left later than usual tonight and he tipped the girls as usual. Even Dw
Kaze took a glass of beer from the girl and had a sip. “It’s okay that you still haven’t decided on your future.” He suddenly felt like a joke. He came to the club yet he tried to convince them to leave the environment without bothering to know their difficulties. “Let’s play dice!” The girl, Zeeny, smiled brightly and took the dice on the table. She was trained on how to make customers happy. Kaze did not ask the difficult questions anymore. Everyone enjoyed themselves with the games. Those who lost must drink. There were a few who sang while the others played, filling the room with joyous melody. Kaze enjoyed himself as well and slowly got to know each other better. At the same time, he learned more about the girls’ backgrounds, even though most of them were made up. To let customers tip them more, they would fabricate a pitiful background. Kaze’s goal was to fool Rosie, so he just had to enjoy himself now and nothing else. Dwight was overwhelmed by the beer
When Kaze entered the club, he saw that the place was clean and the lights were on. It was indeed not open for business yet. There were no customers inside. He could have a clear look over the entire establishment. “You guys are too early, so we had nothing prepared for you. I’ll bring you guys to the VIP room. When the music starts later, you guys can come out and have some fun, or you can call in some girls to accompany you,” Leeny said. She then pointed at a few girls walking toward her. All of them were in heels and sexy outfits. Their smiles rivaled the brightest sun and each of them had their unique charisma. All the employees of Absolute Zero were carefully handpicked. The way they dressed emphasized their personal charms. One would definitely ask for more after a glance. “Can we ask the girls to come to our room?” Dwight asked. His eyes were gleaming with interest. “Of course. This is your room. The girls will drink with you. We do provide some special service,
“I didn’t get anything from them. They just said Rosie is a dangerous woman.” “I told you to go back to see your colleagues and befriend them. Having no news is actually a good thing,” Kaze said. He might be slightly disappointed but it was expected, so he was not bothered. “Really? I thought I was quite useless.” Dwight thought he could finally get the recognition that he was waiting for but he was turned away by his boss. He was never taken seriously at the Viper’s Den, which was the reason why he disliked his colleagues and his superiors. However, he had to stay with the organization for the sake of staying alive. Ever since he met Kaze, his life changed. He thought he could improve himself but the others still did not take him seriously. Dwight was still willing to trust Kaze. “Don’t be affected by their opinions. You know better than anyone what you can do. Just focus on what you need to do and things will be alright,” Kaze said with a hint of encouragement. “Y
