“Myra, no!” Kent and Jane cried in shock. They knew if Myra killed Pastor Angelo, the girl would also lose her life. “Old man, even if you are compassionate, you shouldn’t really do this, risking your life and such.” As the knife swung down at Pastor Angelo, a strong hand extended from behind and grabbed the pastor by the back of his collar. He was then dragged backward and tossed to the couch, like how Kaze saved Kent earlier. Kaze finally intervened. “You!” The clergies reacted with anger but swiftly realized Kaze was saving the pastor. However, they disapproved of his rough method. Ignoring the horrified crowd, Kaze looked at Myra who swung the knife at him. He took a quick deep breath and shouted, “OUT!” Everyone else in the room was shocked. What did he just do? Myra was swinging the knife at him, yet he shouted at Myra. Myra did not even hold back when it came to the clergies or the bodyguards, and she even tried to kill Pastor Angelo. What gave Kaze t
“What the…” “Is Kaze Lee that terrifying?” “Impossible! He is just a charlatan, a liar! How could he be more powerful than Pastor Angelo?” Cole fell on his butt and cried like a wimpy boy. He never would have thought that Myra, who almost killed Pastor Angelo, would run away like a terrified little girl in front of Kaze. It sounded ridiculous. Kent was baffled as well. Even though he knew Kaze was capable of solving this matter because he saved his life back on the train, it was still unbelievable that one shout was all it took for him to scare Myra away. “Holy shit, is he the real God or what?” Professor Wilson widened his eyes in shock as well. He looked down on Kaze earlier because of the misleading first impression and how he argued with a professional like himself. He urged Kent to send Kaze away last night. Now, after getting hurt by Myra, he was looking miserable and did not do anything useful. On the other hand, Kaze simply shouted and seemed to have sol
Fwoosh! The quiet bushes suddenly rattled loudly and a dark and scrawny figure jumped out, running toward the tall walls at lightning speed. The dark figure might be fast but Kaze was faster. He tiptoed and then boosted himself into the air. He appeared behind the dark figure like a phantom and then punched him to the ground. Bang! The dark figure almost reached the top of the wall but was punched back to the ground. He left a deep crater when he crashed and blood spewed from his mouth. “Fuck! How dare you ruin the plan of the Ninja Clan! No matter who you are, you are already a dead man!” The dark figure got up and shouted at Kaze. The eyes that he did not cover up gleamed coldly. “So you are from Ryokan.” Kaze asked coldly, “Ninja Clan? Can you represent the whole Ninja Clan of Ryokan? Not even Daiso Kailan whom I killed had the nerve to make that claim.” The ninjas of Ryokan, also generally known as the Ninja Clan, had more than a hundred branches. The dark fig
“We never thought that the Ryokan ninja would target Myra. It completely slipped us.” Kent reacted grimly to the situation. “It’s not that easy for them to cast the curse either. There should be a medium they use and it should be around the target. I’ll check around later.” Kaze had a look at the pale and delicate Myra in her parents’ arms. “Myra has been cursed for a while now and it’s inevitable that her mental and physical states are damaged. “But it’s no big deal. Find a good doctor and give her some medicine to regulate her condition. Three to six months later, she should recover fully.” “I see. Thank you!” Kent finally was able to smile happily. He quickly ordered his men to find the best doctor in town. As the mayor and a member of the Synder family, he knew many good doctors, so Kaze did not have to worry about that. The body of the dead ninja was bagged and taken away. No one dared to question Kaze anymore. The issue that had plagued the Synder family for s
After Harken was done with Myra’s treatment and left the room, he heard that Pastor Angelo was also in the house so he visited the parlor to meet him. Coincidentally, he saw Pastor Angelo apologizing to Kaze, which made him take a second look at Kaze’s face before walking away. Since Pastor Angelo was already of old age, the clergies had to help him exit the room and leave the mayor’s residence. After Myra took the medicine and rested, only then did Kent get the time to settle down and thank Kaze in person. “Kaze, Dr. Otter has checked Myra and as you said, three to six months later, she will recover. “I can’t thank you enough. You saved my life and my daughter’s life. I am truly in your debt. Don’t worry, I am a man of my promise.” He bowed respectfully as he thanked Kaze. Kaze helped him up and said, “It’s no big deal. But if you trusted me earlier, Myra wouldn’t have to go through all that.” Kent looked guilty. “I am truly sorry for not trusting you and almost got My
“Thank you, Mr. Lee! You are a god to me!” Professor Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Kaze for his mercy. Kaze protected his reputation and also his source of income, so it was not exaggerating for the professor to view him as a god. Professor Wilson was escorted out while he cried and cheered for Kaze. Kent then looked at Cole coldly. Cole gulped and lowered his head. He knew his uncle wanted him to apologize to Kaze. If he could not get Kaze’s forgiveness, then his uncle would punish him severely. With all options exhausted, Cole went over to Kaze and lowered his head. “Kaze, I am sorry. I hereby apologize for what I have done. I shouldn’t have looked down on you or offended you. “As for what happened last night, I had it coming. It was not your fault, and I guarantee that I won’t take revenge or anything. Please forgive me.” Kaze was expressionless. He said, “You are saying that I am afraid that you are going to come after me for revenge?” “I…” Co
Had Cole not been his nephew, Kent would have strangled him. After Cole left, Kaze said to Kent, “Mr. Synder, it’s not that I want to badmouth Cole but he has ulterior motives for Myra. Do keep an eye on him. Just don’t let Myra marry him.” Kent was surprised. As he quickly connected the dots, he understood what Kaze was talking about. He got agitated. “That bastard! How dare he!” “You don’t need to be so angry. Just keep it to yourself and don’t let them get together,” Kaze said. It was Kent’s family affair and Kaze had no right to be nosy about it. However, he was quite fond of the girl and did not want a bastard like Cole to ravage her, hence the friendly reminder to Kent. Kent nodded. He calmed down and said awkwardly, “It’s embarrassing that I don’t know my own family affair…” Kaze shook his head without being concerned. He said, “Mr. Synder, can I have a word with you alone?” “Give us the room,” Kent said to Hamlin. Hamlin nodded and then led everyone out of t
Sanwell Finances was one of the top four conglomerates in Ryokan. The other three would be the world-renowned Tosiba, Sohny, and Hoda. Unlike the others, Sanwell Finances was not solely owned by a royal family but a collective group operated by many families in Ryokan. Some were royal families, while others were natives from the Edo period, and the rest were families that had risen to prominence lately. In order to control the businesses better, the families formed K Division, making it the highest authoritarian body. The families possessed authority and power within K Division based on their shares. It was like a massive board in a company; a conglomerate that had been operating for hundreds of years and owned businesses all across the world. One could only imagine how complicated the conflict of interest within the board and how fierce the competitions were. The Well family had a strong position in K Division, which was also proof of their own strength. Kaze was not ove
Morris was in his study, wiping a plaque of commandments that was covered in dust. Due to his commitment to the Viper’s Den, he had neglected his family for years and left his son in his wife’s care. Morris regretted doing so. Unaware of the impending danger, Clemont enjoyed drinks with his friends. They were having fun, playing drinking games. Losing the game, Clemont downed a glass of liquor. Things could get far and exciting in a game. It was then that the door swung open. Clemont’s driver entered the room. “Young Master Siegfried, the master is waiting for you at home,” the driver said, noting the complexity of the situation. The only thing on his mind was to take Clemont away. Tipsy from the drinks, Clemont waved his arm. “Let him wait. What’s the rush to get home?” Clemont’s friends were shocked. Nothing scared Clemont like his father. However, Clemont toughened up for once. “Young Master Siegfried, why don’t you call it a night?” “Yeah. I’m sur
“What’s that supposed to mean? When have I ever made a mistake?” Morris heard nothing of that sort. It could only mean that his people had done nothing wrong. However, Edmund could not possibly get aggressive on the phone. Something must have happened, and he simply had no idea. Morris felt unsettled like something big was about to happen. “You seem to be lax when managing your people. You don’t seem to know what goes on around your house.“Is your age getting to you? Is that why you can’t handle most of the work? If you can’t get your own house in order, how will you ever manage the Viper’s Den Westeros Branch?” Edmund called to say his piece. It was his way to make Morris step down. Though it was likely that Morris would resign, Edmund could at least make things unpleasant for him. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Morris was completely in the dark, but Edmund must hold some secret to act so cocky. Despite his troubled feelings, Morris kept his cool and calmly aske
Since it was a rare opportunity, Edmund had to settle the score with them properly. He knew opportunities like this were hard to come by so he had to seize them well. “I understand. I will take care of the guest,” Rosie said. She was glad that her information was useful to her boss. After Edmund hung up the phone, Rosie then looked at the unconscious Kaze. “You are indeed more useful than I thought. Hardly anyone has ever managed to impress Edmund.” She did not feel sorry for Kaze, believing that everything happened as it was meant to. She knew that to climb higher, she had to please her superior. With the Wittersons on the rise, now was the perfect time for her to pledge her loyalty to Edmund. When the Wittersons truly took over the Westeros Branch, she would become one of the most powerful people in the city, second only to them. She was looking forward to that day. Since Kaze was fast asleep and no arrangements could be made, Rosie went out to call her men and
“If you are not here to have fun, then why did you come to Westeros?” Rosie asked. Kaze looked like he had one glass too many and could barely keep himself awake. When he looked up at Rosie, he felt lightheaded and could not keep his balance. “I am here to c-complete my mission.” Kaze could not even speak clearly, seemingly already drunk. Rosie let out a breath of relief. She then took his glass away. Kaze fell onto the couch lazily and adjusted himself into a comfortable position. He even had a hiccup. Rosie did not mind Kaze passing out in front of her. She got up and then squatted in front of him. “What is your mission here in Westeros?” She did not expect to fish out useful information from Kaze, but now she could bring this information to Edmund and exchange it for a reward. “I am here to solve the problem. Something happened here in the Viper’s Den and I am here to find out more. After that, someone else will take over,” Kaze muttered as he closed his eyes.
Rosie’s charm and beauty were reasons why she was able to run the club smoothly. No matter what happened, she possessed the capabilities to solve it without exacerbating it. All those aspects made Edmund choose her. A qualified employee trusted to run a business did not need to be a genius. One only needed to carefully operate the business and not cause trouble for the employer. That alone would be enough. “There’s indeed someone powerful who gave me a chance but I want to use my own strength to win their recognition.” Rosie was well aware that due to her beauty, many often looked down and underestimated her. She had to stay sharp and clear-headed to avoid unnecessary trouble. “That might be a little difficult but I believe you got what it takes,” Kaze said with a serious tone as if he knew Rosie well. “Thank you for your kind words. I hope everything turns out as expected.” She did not have to worry about that because Edmund fully trusted her and put her in charge of m
Clemont let out a breath of relief when he saw that his friends were not saying anything more. He brought them somewhere else to party. He spent a lot in a single night but he finally gained the respect that he longed for. Back at the club, after Clemont and his friends left, the corridor to the VIP section finally quieted down. The waiters cleaned up the place and then returned to their work. Kaze stayed back and looked at Rosie, waiting for her response. “Thank you for today. I would be hurt if not for you,” she said, expressing her gratitude. She was surprised that Kaze intervened but she was truly grateful for his help. “It’s nothing.” Kaze waved his hand nonchalantly and then wanted to return to his own room. “Why don’t I take care of the bill for you tonight? Consider it as a token of gratitude since you saved me from getting hurt,” Rosie said. Her interest in Kaze was piqued, wondering who he really was. She knew he was from Butterworth and had heard that
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
