“You two followed May around, causing trouble, but Jet isn’t holding you two responsible. He let you two come to Lilyrose with me so this is a chance for you two to make things right. “Yet you two took Snow away! Are you trying to challenge Jet?” Bass barely reacted but Dove was shaking, and her face turned pale. She knew her life was in their hands. “Mr. Winchester, this is a misunderstanding! Why would I bring Snow away?” Dove strode over immediately and bowed apologetically at Wind. “As a matter of fact, when Snow tried to run away, I was afraid that she would take extreme measures if I stopped her, so I followed her just to keep an eye on her. “That’s why I have been texting you along the way! Mr. Winchester, I am not with Snow, I am loyal to Jet and you! You know that! I will do whatever you ask me to do!” She even switched to a flattering tone toward the end, wrapping her arms around Wind’s and nuzzling against him. She would throw herself on the bed if he asked.
Dove had been waiting for this. She was surprised and delighted. “Thank you, Mr. Winchester, I will do my best!” She continued to speak coquettishly, especially when she emphasized the word “do”. Those who knew what she meant knew what she would do. Wind then looked at Bass with a grim expression. He said coldly, “Bass, Dove said you insulted me and Jet in the car.” Bass stepped up and stood in front of Snow. He looked at Wind confidently and said, “Wind, I am just speaking the truth, it’s not an insult at all. “Jet did not only frame Madam May, but he also usurped the family’s power. Aren’t you helping him with that? You are just an outsider he put in charge, yet you helped him hurt the lives of the family members.” He pointed at Wind and bellowed, “Wind Winchester, don’t forget your place! You are just a servant to Jet and Snow here is the direct descendant! “You are a servant and she is the master! Yet you brought this many men here to stop us—this is insubordination! Wh
“The old man, Thadeus Frost, is going down and the family belongs to Jet now. No one can save you and your mother anymore! “Even if I fuck you now, no one in the Frost family would say a word! Don’t even bother to test it! Sleep with me and I will speak for you in front of Jet, making sure he releases your mother!” Wind might be a short man but the arrogance he carried was massive. Snow’s expression turned grim. She said heavily, “Wind, you really think Jet can take full control of the family? It won’t last! The truth will prevail, my mother is innocent! Once Jet loses power, what are you going to do?” Wind scoffed with disdain, “Snow, you really think Jet is going to give you a chance to turn things around? “Oh, I forgot to tell you that the two guys from your family that I arranged to keep an eye on you are killed. I bet it was Bass who did it. “The two of them are your family members and you killed them just so you can run. You are as ruthless as your mother!” Snow’s e
“Snow!” Shocked, Bass moved to shield Snow and simultaneously flicked a pebble from his hand with a sharp motion. The pebble struck Wind’s wrist. The pain stung him and slightly changed the shot’s trajectory. Bang! Bass was shot in the stomach. He cried in pain as he fell to the ground, seemingly disabled. “Damn it! The old man is fast!” Wind rubbed his bruised wrist and said angrily, “But that’s all you can do! You are fast, but not as fast as a bullet! The expert who served the Frost family was shot down by me!” He went closer to Bass and stepped on the wound, causing the stomach to bleed profusely. “Wind, stop it! Don’t hurt Bass!” Snow shouted as her eyes teared up. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and in this case, Bass. Compared to Dove, who turned on Snow, Bass protected her with his life. “What’s wrong? Feeling bad? It’s easy trying to deal with old fools like him. No matter how strong he is, all I need to do is shoot you and this loyal dog will jump i
“I like a feisty woman! It makes me feel great when I conquer your body!” As he spoke, Wind got up and tried to reach out to Snow with his rough hands. “What are you doing?!” Snow immediately retreated, afraid and angry. “What am I doing? I want to fuck you, that’s what! Don’t run, or I will smash Bass’ head into pieces!” Wind said fiercely. Upon hearing his words, a few of his men pulled their guns out and aimed at Bass. Snow was stunned on the spot. Her face turned pale as her eyes showed nothing but despair. “Hahaha!” Seeing that Snow seemed to have accepted her grim fate, Wind burst into wicked laughter. His hands grew impatient and eager. “I assure you if your paws touch her, you will die immediately!” Right before Wind could lay his hands on Snow, a frosty voice came from beyond the crowd. The moment Snow heard the voice, her body shook and her pounding heart finally rested. She regained her confidence because she knew she was safe when he arrived. Wind fr
The burly men all around and Dove, who was on the ground, were horrified. Kaze was powerful. He shut them up as soon as he arrived.Dove watched as Kaze walked over to her. She lifted her chin with a struggle and cried desperately, “Mr. Winchester, he is Kaze! Snow came here to seek his help. “Bass has nothing on him. May is counting on him to make a comeback. “You know, Venom, ranked second on the hitman’s list? He can get him here with one phone call.“Quick! Kill him! “Otherwise, none of us will walk out of here alive.”A man of action, Wind drew his weapon and pulled the trigger on Kaze. “Bang!” The moment the barrel fired, Kaze shifted slightly, then came a scream. One of Wind’s minions had a gaping hole in his chest. The minion fell back headfirst. Furious and shocked, Wind let out an angry cry and fired another shot. “Bang!” By then, Kaze was in Wind’s face. He slapped the firearm out of Wind’s hand and smacked him away. Wind crashed into his minion, tak
“I am Wind Winchester, Mr. Lee. I am a loyal subordinate.“A few members of the Frost family have died, and the evidence is pointing at Ms. Frost’s mother. Hence, we put her under house arrest while we launched an internal investigation. I was sent to Lilyrose to watch over Ms. Frost too. “We are all acting on Jet’s orders. I wouldn’t disrespect Ms. Frost under other circumstances.” “Jet?” Kaze fell into contemplation. “Have you heard of Mr. Frost’s good name too, Mr. Lee?” Overjoyed, Wind said, “He is part of the Riverbank Seven. “Mr. Frost returned to the family to get on top of the family issues. He is currently in power. “He has gained more authority than what he holds in Riverbank.” Kaze stood there without a word while Wind went on. “I have to admit that you’re one of the strongest I’ve met. “But you need to get one thing straight. Strength alone won’t get you anywhere. “It’s all about family connections, wealth, and power. “I’m sure you have heard about Le
“What makes you think I’ll let you take Snow away?” Kaze asked nonchalantly while slapping Wind on the same cheek. “You!” Wind’s eyes widened. The mention of Jet’s name was not enough for Kaze to release Wind. Instead, Kaze refused to back down and even insulted him. Feeling the sharp pain on his skin, Wind gritted his teeth. Dove drew close and said sternly, “Let Mr. Winchester go now, Lee! “Sure, you can fight, but you can do squat since you took your wife’s last name.“Who are you to be rude and attack Mr. Winchester?“If you don’t want to get you and your wife’s family killed, you better get down on your knees and apologize to Mr. Winchester. Let him do his job and take Snow away.“By refusing to do so, no one can save—” Before Dove could finish, Kaze snapped an icy look that made her blood run cold. It struck Dove that Kaze was no doormat. He single-handedly defeated them all, not hesitating to pull the trigger on a dozen men. “I remember you.” Kaze said, “Y
“Do ask around,” Kaze said without being overly concerned. Since he was with Dwight, if they got any news, it would attract even more attention. However, if they did not ask around for more after causing a scene, it would also be strange. Therefore, Dwight’s little investigation was a great cover. “I have to use the toilet. Wait for me here,” Kaze said as he got up. Dwight nodded at Kaze as he was going to make a call. “Sure. If you want to leave, just give me a heads up.” He then sat down on the couch, took a sip of beer, and leisurely watched girls dancing on the dance floor. After seeing Dwight’s casual reaction, Kaze lowered his guard against him. He had been observing Dwight since the start and now he finally knew the man well enough. Dwight never saw Kaze as an outsider or some VIP guest. He was thoughtful and kind and never harbored any ill intentions. “He’s really a simple guy.” Kaze headed to the toilet as he muttered to himself. On the way there, he sa
“She’s quite capable but this will cost her.” Kaze thought Rosie was not being rational enough. If a customer crossed the line, she would have every reason to throw him out. There was no need to endure him or suck up for the sake of a little business. Rosie might seem to be the boss of the club but she often had to endure ridiculous requests for the sake of the well-being of the establishment. Dominic’s words made many uncomfortable, especially the waiter and the security guards. They were ready to throw him out. If he continued to be rude, they would not mind being physical with him. When Dominic calmed down, he would realize what he had done. After all, when one was drunk, one would not have total control over his or her actions, which would lead to making mistakes. Such mistakes would easily slip due to the person being drunk but it only worked when the person could not remember or was not conscious at all. If a person remained sane and could act logically, then be
“I’ll let this slip but you guys can’t always ruin my fun,” Dominic said with a frown. His plan of having fun was foiled before anything could happen. Rosie’s expression turned bitter. “That girl is just an innocent lady, our customer. You can’t just force yourself on her.” Dominic was not deterred. He believed that with his status and how much he had spent at the club, he could do anything he wanted. Yet the boss interrupted his plan and even let the girl go. It fueled his resentment. “Since when is Absolute Zero scared of anything? That girl is just some random girl, and even if I drag her to my bed, nothing bad will happen,” he said confidently. He even moved closer to Rosie, putting his chubby hand around her waist. Dwight was surprised as he had never encountered such a situation before. Dominic acted like he owned the club. He tried to force a girl against her will and now he put his dirty hand on the boss of the club. He was just the boss of a company who
“Stop causing problems!” The security guards gained on Kaze and Dwight, trying to get them out of the club. Dwight was also a hot-tempered person and he could not allow injustice to happen, especially to himself. “It’s that fat prick who started it! Why aren’t you guys throwing him out? The girl has made it clear that they don’t know each other! Why are you two gaining on us?!” He was not weak and could easily take down two security guards, but he remained resentful. They tried to help a girl but the situation turned on them. “You can’t be sure. Maybe the girl is playing hard to get. This is not Mr. Jarbosky’s first time here, and he will never break the rules here,” the security guard said. His words attracted even more attention, but they dared not speak up. Vivi’s face turned pale. She wanted to explain but nothing came out of her mouth. Her explanations seemed weak. Everyone seemed to believe that she seduced Dominic, but she was the victim. “No! It’s not like t
“Kaze, you might not know since you are new here but he’s the boss of Dominion Group, Dominic Jarbosky. We can’t offend him. His company works closely with the Viper’s Den.” Dwight came over and whispered into Kaze’s ears. He just wanted to inform Kaze to rethink his decision. The girl might be in danger but she had it coming. Coming to a club in a skimpy outfit was certainly a bad idea. Since Dominic had his eyes on her, and she did not want his company, then it was up to her to break free. Dwight thought that by explaining Dominic’s status to Kaze, the conflict would be resolved. “I said, it’s time for you to stop,” Kaze said once more, his tone colder than before. Dominic frowned after being interrupted once more. He finally got his eyes on a young girl who looked beautiful and innocent, thinking he could release his sexual desires on her for the entire night, yet someone poked his nose into his business. “What do you have to do with this? Are you into this girl as w
“Seems like there’s nothing to see here.” Kaze was slightly disappointed. He came here just to find out more about the club’s operations and the person running the place. Yet there was nothing he found, or maybe he did not get the right chance. Clubs were loud and messy, fights even broke out occasionally. Men would fight over a woman, and once the fight broke out, the person in charge of the club must step up to resolve the conflict. Kaze just needed to wait patiently for the chance to arrive. With alcohol involved, people tended to be impulsive and physical once the girls rejected them. Dwight continued to test his luck but got turned down every single time. A few minutes later, a void formed around him with no girls wanting to be close to him. He was annoyed. He was tall and handsome, yet no girls wanted to be with him. He saw other men, who were shorter and looked normal, surrounded by girls. The only difference was the watches and branded outfits they wore.
As they arrived, they saw a dozen expensive cars parked outside. The customer base was relatively stable as the establishment was targeted at the upper class. The people lining up at the club were young men and women of ordinary background. All were allowed inside Absolute Zero with an entrance fee. Since this would be a chance for ordinary people to meet and interact with the upper-class elites, they cherished it and tried their best to look good. Even movie producers and scriptwriters came to the club, seeking investments or a role in movie production. It was a shortcut to reach out to the upper crust after all. Yet they were just a bunch of fresh graduates with no resources and connections, so the club was their only chance at achieving something great. Dwight would never understand how rare the opportunity was, as he was narrow-sighted. He had never experienced power and wealth before, so he lacked the understanding of how things worked in society. “I never thought
With that in mind, Dwight checked his outfit. His black leather jacket brought out his height and wild side. He then observed Kaze. The latter was dressed casually. Dwight was worried that they would not be allowed into Absolute Zero because of their attire. Nevertheless, he could not let slip that he had never been to Absolute Zero. Without a word, Dwight led Kaze down the apartment building. Kaze could pick up on Dwight’s nerves. While in the elevator, Dwight could not stop straightening out his clothes. It was clear that he was nervous. Even so, Kaze said nothing and pretended not to notice. They got into the car and drove to an alley. The area was not huge, but there were stands selling street food. “The food is great here. Since it’s early, we can grab a bite.” Dwight was not being tight with money. As their destination was a bar, there was no need to get a proper meal. “I’ll get a skewer then.” Kaze did not have much of an appetite anyway. “Okay. I’ll or
“You’re the guest. I should be hosting you, but I don’t seem to be doing a good job.” Dwight knew he had to do better. “It’s okay. I don’t have much to do. It’s just a delivery anyway.” Kaze bought a lot of stuff online. All they had to do was wait for the delivery. Once the items arrived, they could head out. Dwight talked about taking him to a bar under the Viper’s Den’s umbrella. It was a great opportunity for Kaze to check out the scene. He had heard that the Wittersons were tied to all the Viper’s Den’s business operations.Kaze would not meet Edmund and Morris in person, but he would grasp all information related to them. Then, Kaze would stir things up between them and sit back while reaping the benefits. Kaze had it all planned out. He simply had to take his time in playing the long game. Nevertheless, it was important for him to remain discreet. At the very least, he should not show them what he was made of. It was easy to execute his plan when everybody
