“Yeah, we are prepared for this. You’ll know what’s inside the boxes later.” Maxine gave Darcy a sly and meaningful wink. After Maxine and Patrick counted the gifts one last time, the emcee said, “Maxine and Patrick have prepared a number of gifts. “A painting from a famous painter in the 1890s valued at two million! “A hundred-year-old wild herbal ginseng, and a blessed bracelet from St. John Church, brought back by Patrick himself. Together, these gifts are intended to wish Master and Madam Otter good health and longevity.” The crowd applauded after the master of ceremony ended the announcement. Maxine and Patrick prepared three gifts for the elders. Each present easily surpassed the values of the gifts that came before them. The hundred-year-old wild ginseng and the blessed bracelet from St. John Church were meaningful gifts as their worth was not monetary but also their benefits. It represented Maxine and Patrick’s sincere respect and goodwill, something the others
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2640 Not Qualified
Maxine and Patrick planned this ahead to make Agnes and her family look bad. It explained why they jumped the queue when Agnes and Darcy started lining up. If Agnes and Darcy managed to present the gifts before Maxine and Patrick, they would not have been in such a difficult position. As soon as Darcy’s voice subsided, the emcee said loudly, “Next would be Agnes and her family, presenting gifts to… Huh?” The emcee had a look at the card and was surprised. He thought he got the wrong card. “Uh… Agnes and family have a painting valued at three hundred thousand, fifty-year-old ginseng, and a bracelet from St. Aeris Church.” The entire hall fell into an awkward silence. In order to dissolve the awkwardness, the emcee chuckled and said, “It’s not too bad. The gifts are the same as Maxine and Patrick’s but it’s the thought that matters, right?” His words made the air feel even more awkward. Countless pairs of eyes looked at Darcy and her family, mocking and making fun of th
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2641 Is He Gone?
The main issue was that Darcy's family held a weak position within the Otter family, making it inevitable for others to look down on them. Madam Otter could help once or twice but could not help them forever. “Yes, Mother…” Agnes and her family timidly stepped down and went back to their seats. She had the strongest urge to ram herself into the wall to put an end to the embarrassment. She was not only embarrassed, but also felt so ashamed and lost her dignity in front of her family, and she blamed it on Kaze. If Kaze were as capable as Patrick, her family would never be looked down upon. If Kaze was rich, they could just appear and people would swarm to them like bees to flowers. Agnes chose to blame Kaze instead of Maxine and Patrick, who obviously set a trap for them. “Kaze, it’s all because of you! You are a jinx! If not because of what you said out there, Maxine and Patrick won’t come after us like this!” She glared at Kaze with gritted teeth. Darcy frowned. “
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2642 Last Gift
People started to laugh, mocking Kaze and flattering Patrick at the same time. As Patrick’s girlfriend, she was happy and proud they were singing Patrick’s praises.By belittling Darcy and her family, she finally got back at Kaze for the slap.Patrick looked delighted as well but he humbly said, “Guys, come on. I believe Kaze has his own difficulties. “But it seems like I misunderstood him. There’s no last gift or whatever…” “No! You did not misunderstand anything, there is a last gift! A big one!” A voice came from a figure standing at the door, surprising everyone. Everyone looked at the door and saw Kaze, who they thought had left, standing there with black plastic bags in his hand. A lit cigarette was hanging in his mouth. His smug look might lead people to think that he was the one who got accepted into Flying Dragons, not Hanses. His frivolous appearance made Master and Madam Otter, who were usually meticulous about manners and politeness, frown. The plastic bag

Maxine scoffed, “You? If there’s something good that Grandmother likes in that stupid bag of yours, I’ll slap myself in front of everyone!” Hanses, the eldest grandson, also said, “Kaze, it’s enough. Let’s just sit down. The feast is starting and everyone is waiting.” He was also displeased by Kaze’s untimely interruption. Everyone was waiting for the feast to start yet Kaze barged in, insisting to present a “big gift”. Suddenly, Aegon said, “Madam Otter, why don’t we have a look at what Mr. Lee got there?” “Yeah. Maybe you will like it?” “I agree.” To everyone’s surprise, the quiet and strict Aruto and Brent suddenly spoke up and suggested checking the gift Kaze prepared. Everyone was taken aback, shocked that they chose to defend Kaze. What happened? Why would the three of them help Kaze? Could it be that they got upset about Kaze delaying the feast by making a scene and decided to let him make a fool of himself? Even Madam Otter was baffled, but she suppresse
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2644 The Best Present
“Grandmother, Kaze is a horrible person! He must be doing this because of what you said just now and he hated you for that! That’s why he’s trying to use these cheap cigarettes and wine to fool you! Just throw them away!” “Yeah, just throw them away!” Max and Maxine urged their grandmother to throw the gifts away. Then, Max tried to grab and throw them. “Wait!” Madam Otter bellowed. She then picked up the cigarettes and wine to have a better look. As she carefully examined the packaging and traced the black dragon insignia with her fingers, her expression grew serious. She turned to Aruto and Brent to ask, “General Wake, General Highland, you two are high-ranking military generals. Can you have a look at the cigarettes and wine and tell me where they are from? “As far as I know, the cigarettes and wine are only for soldiers serving in the military but I don’t recognize the black dragon marking.” Madam Otter was an old timer and had seen a fair share of strange and amu
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2645 Slaps in Front of Everyone
“What?! The cigarettes and wine are from the Battle Dragon Troops?!” Everyone was shocked by Madam Otter’s revelation. She happily said, “General Wake and General Highland literally just confirmed it, how could they be fake? These cigarettes and wine are unlike other military offerings. They rarely leave the military compound and even if you have the money or the connections, you might not get it. “Who would have thought that I could get to taste them today? This is great!” She could barely keep herself together as she was overwhelmed by joy. Everyone else looked at Kaze in disbelief. The son-in-law that even Agnes looked down on got his hands on some special offerings exclusive to the Battle Dragon Troops. Where did he get them? Max and Maxine were flabbergasted. They mocked Kaze earlier and did not hold back at all. Patrick was also in disbelief. He looked at Kaze, his gaze suspicious, wondering how Kaze did it. Madam Otter looked at Kaze properly for the first
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 2646 Flying Dragons War General
On top of that, Madam Otter refused to help Agnes and her family earlier because Kaze had no identity and Patrick was from the Weather family. Now that Kaze gave her the cigarettes and wine from the Battle Dragon Troops, presenting his value, Madam Otter was no longer biased. Moreover, she was displeased with Maxine and Patrick setting up Agnes and her family, so she refused to intervene this time. Slap! Kaze slapped Maxine in the face. “Ever since we came back here, you and your brother, and the others, have been giving us a hard time—previously and now. You really think we are that weak?” “You bastard! How dare you slap my daughter?!” Adam bellowed. Max and the others tried to stop Kaze. Slap! Kaze slapped Maxine once more and said indifferently, “This is what she promised and she is going back on her words. I am just helping her to keep her word. Of course, I’d slap her.” “You!” Adam bellowed with gritted teeth. He glanced at his mother and saw no reaction from h

“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
