“Ms. Chapman, I’m sorry, but I can’t do it.” Ramsay sounded polite but the words infuriated Tiffany and turned her expression grim. “Ms. Chapman, South Bank has other units for sale. We have two more units that are more expensive and high-end than mansion No. 9. If you are interested, I can give you a personal discount.” Ramsay did not want to offend Tiffany, so he quickly came up with a suggestion and a discount. However, it did not soothe Tiffany’s anger. Slap! She raised her hand and slapped Ramsay on the face. “Ms. Chapman, this…” Ramsay covered his face in shock as he looked at Tiffany. He did not expect Tiffany to be this rude and arrogant. He was the newly appointed director of South Bank after all, not just any John Doe, yet the woman slapped him in public without any solid reasons. “Ramsay Scotch, listen carefully! The top three families owned this city!” Tiffany was loud. “You are just a lousy director! Who do you think you are? Your predecessors are our
“Jesse White is you? H-How is this possible?!” Tiffany looked at Kaze in shock and disbelief. She somehow believed Kaze was Jesse White. The top three families used their connections and network to run background checks on this mysterious person but they got nothing. It was like Jesse White appeared out of nowhere. The top three families suspected that Jesse White was just an alias. They continued searching James’ network and still did not find someone named Jesse White. However, they found out about James’ good friend during his university days. That person was Kaze. However, the top three families did not relate Kaze to Jesse. They looked down on him as being just a useless son-in-law of the Quints. Even though the Lee family of Sunrise City wanted to eliminate him, they did not take him seriously. Martin grunted and said, “Ms. Chapman, the top three families are afraid of a mere businessman? This shouldn’t be.” He might just be a commissioner, an average posi
“Kaze, are you going to use Dan’s generals to make me stay?” Tiffany grinned and scoffed. “Don’t forget about Commissioner Renslayer.” She was not afraid of Kaze. Even if Kaze called Jackal and the team over, Martin could have them arrested with just a word. “What generals?” Martin was from the army so he was quite sensitive to the term. Tiffany briefly explained who Jackal and the team were. “Huh? It seems like anyone can call themselves general nowadays. Only those who served the God of War have the right to call themselves generals. For example, Chief Commander Lang of Lilyrose Strategic Department is the God of War’s right-hand man!” Martin waved his hand contemptuously and said, “If those men show up, I can call the Tiger Fangs Militia and Garo Spec Ops Team to shoot them to death!” “Commissioner Renslayer, you are just the commissioner of the Logistic Division, do you have the authority to order them around?” Tiffany was not all that stupid. Martin said proudl
“Hahaha!” Martin and Tiffany cackled hysterically when they heard Kaze. They laughed at him for being ignorant and a fool. “Kaze, who do you think you are to reshuffle the Strategic Department? You are full of shit!” Tiffany mocked him. Even Ramsay, Jessica, Camry, and Teresa, who had the most trust in Kaze, did not believe him this time. Kaze did not say anything. He pulled his phone out and sent a voice recording to Draco. “Huh? What did the boss send me?” Meanwhile, at the chief commander’s office of the Lilyrose Strategic Department, Draco suddenly received a voice recording from Kaze. Baffled, he tapped on it. “Commissioner Renslayer, you are just the commissioner of the Logistic Division, do you have the authority to order them around?” “I might not have the authority but I am close with Shin Scarlet and Koga Atlas, both brigadier generals of the Tiger Fangs Militia and Garo Spec Ops Team respectively. I’m sure they would answer to my request.” Draco sweate
“If I’m not here, you would have gone out of control, Martin Renslayer! You will be charged at court martial!” Fred glared at Martin before he went up to Kaze. He saluted professionally and said, “God of War, Sir! Head of the Logistic Division of Lilyrose Strategic Department, Fred Wolfgang, reporting for duty!” Shin and Koga knew Kaze wanted to keep a low profile so they never called him the God of War, but Kaze did not reject it when Fred saluted, so they did the same. “God of War, Sir! Commander of the Tiger Fangs Militia, Shin Scarlet, reporting for duty!” “God of War, Sir! Commander of the main Garo Spec Ops Team, Koga Atlas, reporting for duty!” After all three of them called Kaze the God of War, everything went silent. The God of War was a prestigious title bestowed upon by Arcadia. It was the highest honor within the army and it was sought after by all. There were more than a hundred million people in the country but there might not be a God of War. The title
Martin confessed to his mistake in tears, keeping his head low in reverence. He was so full of himself moments ago, and now he lay near Kaze’s feet, begging for mercy with his tail tucked between his legs. Martin lost his spine. He did not carry the dignity of someone in the military. Kaze found Martin’s groveling behavior even more repulsive than his arrogance.Countless soldiers braved the harsh conditions of icy mountains and scorching deserts to defend their homeland. Many had given their lives on foreign battlefields. Martin, a disgrace to society, was perfectly content with occupying a high-ranking position while tarnishing the military’s reputation.“Boot him out of the military and dump him in a foreign war zone. He’ll have to fight his way back if he wants to survive.”Kaze had decided Martin’s fate. It was time for him to experience the harsh realities of the battlefield in person. Martin would be getting off lucky if he was arrested and put on trial. He s
Knowing who Kaze was, Tiffany had no guts to defy him. “I’ll clean the floor now.” She ran into the mansion. Getting down on her hands and knees, Tiffany started scrubbing. Kaze let Tiffany be because the woman knew better than to run away. “Keep my identity a secret,” Kaze uttered. Jessica and Ramsay knew Kaze was talking to them, so they nodded. They decided to keep it to themselves. No one would believe them if they were to say anyway. It was illogical to suggest that the God of War would marry into a wealthy family and face public scrutiny.Jessica and Ramsay would not believe it themselves if they had not seen the truth with their own eyes. Kaze left Jessica in charge of getting the necessities for mansion No. 9.Jessica was overjoyed. She knew she had made the right choice. At least, Kaze was open to accepting her atonement to the Whites. Jessica got right down to it. Ramsay excused himself and took off. Kaze, the Whites, and Snow were left at the mansi
Hades was filled with glee. “You’re a man of action, Hunter. That’s how it should be. Make the fool regret gloating.” “Hahaha!” The two men laugh out loud over the phone. It felt good to finally get their revenge.“Call Don and tell him to cordon off Hades’ casino, Snow.” Meanwhile, Kaze put down the phone and gave Snow instructions. He did not take Hades’ aggression seriously. In fact, Hades was not worth his time. Snow pulled out her phone to call Don. Kaze got a call from Sky. “Hurry back home, Kaze. Grandpa brought Samus, Deborah, and the others to give Darcy hell.” Sky said anxiously over the phone. The commotion could be heard from his background. Kaze had no idea what happened. He told Snow to drop him off at Skylar View District. With Logan taking the lead, the Quints stormed into Horizon Mirror Mansion, eager to demand answers. “Mr. Hunter from Taurus Automobiles expects the return of the three cars by the end of the day, Darcy. He is also expectin
“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
