The Laime couple was furious when they saw Darcy come back with a new car, which she should not have bought and instead used the money to save their son.“We cleared your son’s debt last night and now you want us to save him again? Do you think we’re your personal ATM?” Darcy argued. “Yes, you are our fucking ATM! Your mother killed my daughter!” Lance argued righteously. “Darcy, I told your mother to take care of Larry in the hospital but she let Hades take him away! You have to bring him back!” Naomi climbed up the car and threw a tantrum like an uncivilized little girl. Darcy frowned. She asked Kaze, “What did Hades say when he took Larry away? He wants us to pay him again?” Kaze would not let the same thing happen twice. “Hades did not ask for money this time. He simply wanted Larry to do labor work at his casino and he would let the big baby back when he’s done.” Lance and Naomi’s reaction shifted when they heard Kaze. “How could Hades force Larry to do labor work
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Darcy asked. Sky said Agnes had been praising Kaze on the way back but based on what Darcy saw, her mother’s attitude toward Kaze did not change at all. Agnes looked upset. She said, “Your aunt just called and scolded me! She said Kaze snatched Samus and Deborah’s car! “They booked it for five million! Then, Kaze made the seller give it to him because he knew someone powerful!” Karen, Samus and Deborah’s mother, was a feisty woman. She had never taken Darcy and her family seriously and always bullied Agnes when she got the chance. Karen heard about the car from Samus and Deborah so she called Agnes and scolded her for being cheap. Darcy then realized it was not Miru but Kaze who brought back three expensive cars. “Mom, Samus used the money he got from selling our house to book the car. Kaze was just taking back the car!” Darcy defended Kaze. Sky adhered, “Yeah, Mom! You were not there at Taurus Automobiles! Samus and Deborah were frustrating! They l
Sky was shocked. Given Darcy’s temper, she might really thrash his new car; especially since she became the CEO of Quintessential Group, her aura got stronger, and she could do things she never did before! Being her brother, Sky felt scared and guilty. “Just think about what you want to do after you graduate.” Kaze tapped his shoulder and walked away. Sky squatted in front of his new car and pondered. Then, a Maybach stopped by the house’s entrance. Jessica, who accused James of plagiarism back in the day, was in front of the car. She just found out that Kaze stayed at Horizon Mirror. When Kaze came out, she went up to him immediately. “Kaze, have you eaten lunch? Why don’t we go to lunch?” “I had lunch,” Kaze simply said and walked past her. Jessica dared not speak another word and went up to her car to open the door for him. “Are we going to Springville District?” Jessica got into the driver’s seat and asked as she fastened her seatbelt. The White family’s
Dagon’s words scared Jessica. She dared not associate herself with Kaze, so she quickly explained, “Mr. Conery, this is my friend. I am buying the mansion for him.” Jessica knew Kaze wanted to keep a low profile, so she did not reveal his identity as the chairman of Perfect World Group, or else Dagon would be shocked. Dagon felt relieved. He sized up Kaze carefully and noticed there were no branded items on him. He immediately looked down on Kaze. How could a poor person like Kaze afford the mansion? It must be a joke. Could he be Jessica’s sugar baby? He might. Jessica might look like a virtuous and professional lady but it seemed like she was quite playful in private. Dagon grew more confident in getting into her pants. “Well then, let’s go in and have a look.” Dagon brought them into the mansion. After a brief tour, Kaze was quite happy with what he saw. The mansion was idle for two years but it was well maintained and cleaned regularly. All the decoratio
“What are you talking about, Mr. Conery!?” Jessica frowned. She was not an idiot and immediately sensed his perverted gaze on her. As a beautiful woman in the business world, she had encountered many perverts like Dagon. All of them looked at her as if she was the juiciest prey in the jungle. She did not expect Dagon to use the mansion to approach her. “Ms. Summer, we are all players here. You don’t need to act in front of me. One night with me and you can take the mansion for eighty million. “One night and you save seventy million. You are a successful businesswoman and you should know it’s a bargain,” Dagon said with an evil grin. His perverted gaze sized up Jessica again. He even started to breathe heavily. “Mr. Conery, I am not a child!” Jessica stepped backward and glared at Dagon. “The price of his mansion is only eighty million, and that’s the price your bank gave you!” Dagon raised the price to 150 million because he wanted to use it to sleep with her and th
The mansion was the home of James and his family. Now the man in charge of selling it, Dagon, threatened Kaze to sell it to some Tom, Dick, and Harry for orgy parties. He had definitely crossed Kaze’s line. Kaze’s expression turned grim. He went over and kicked the man again. “You are just the person in charge of this place. If I want to buy this mansion, even your director would have to hand it over to me without questions,” Kaze said coldly. Ptooey! Dagon spat the blood on the floor and covered his mouth. His gaze turned grim as he bellowed, “You piece of shit! You are just a sugar baby, what are you talking about?!” Kaze called Snow immediately. Meanwhile, in a coffee shop, Snow was having coffee with Mathias. “Snow, you are the eldest daughter of the Frost family, why did you come all the way here to this city just to become someone’s assistant? With your background and capabilities, you can be the chairwoman of Perfect World Group.” Mathias was sitting opposite
Meanwhile in the mansion, Dagon was still acting arrogantly. “Jessica Summer, let me fuck you and I’ll let this piece of shit go! Or else I will make him pay for hitting me!” Jessica did not even look at him. She did not want to inform Dagon that Kaze commanded the Tiger Fangs and the police department to arrest all the gangsters in the city. She also did not want to tell him that Kaze was the mysterious chairman of Perfect World Group. In terms of power and money, Dagon was nothing before Kaze. Dagon was challenging Kaze’s patience by threatening her or him. Then, the director of South Bank, Ramsay, arrived. “Director Scotch? What are you doing here?!” Dagon got up on his feet and went over to his director. He pointed at Kaze and grumbled, “Director, this guy here beat me up! Look at this, I’m bleeding…” Ramsay looked at Kaze. He had never seen Kaze in person but since there were only three people in the house, Kaze must be the mysterious Mr. Lee. “Bleeding? I’ll b
Jessica felt her soul shaking! Kaze was targeting the top three families who had rooted themselves deeply in Lilyrose City! Even if Kaze was the chairman of Perfect World Group, would he be able to overthrow the top three families’ rule? “Mind your own business.” Kaze shot a warning gaze at her. He did not want the top three families to know he was Jesse White. The name Jesse White was a deterrent to the top three families and it alone was enough to make them anxious. He even asked Draco to forge an identity for Jesse White. The identity of Jesse White became legitimate with all the necessary documents. Even if the top three families ran background checks on him, they would not be able to find any clues. “I understand!” Jessica straightened her body and swore to take the secret to her grave. Ramsay was smart enough to follow Jessica. He pledged his loyalty and swore to never spill a word. Kaze shot a glance at Dagon. Dagon shivered as he looked at Kaze in fear
“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
