Chapter 2989 The Importance of Riverbank

Author: Five Generals
“That’s right.”

Reiko nodded and added, “More precisely, we are after the ones behind Kaze Lee, like Hannah Delmore, the chief of the Viper’s Den South River Branch, and Kent Synder, the mayor of Riverbank.

“We tried helping Casius to get control of the South River Branch and then slowly infiltrate the West State Viper’s Den.”

Her words put a frosty smirk on Aiden but it faded quickly.

Reiko did not notice the unusual expression. She continued, “Too bad our actions fell short. We’ve been planning for so long and spent countless efforts, but Hannah recovered even after she was completely stripped of her powers. She made a comeback and became stronger than before.

“Yesterday, Casius was decapitated and Jude Gwake, the deputy chief of the South River Branch, was defeated. We lost big time…”

“Wait!”

Aiden interrupted her and asked, “Casius really died at Kaze Lee’s hands? If that’s true, then this guy is more than meets the eye. The so-called Riverbank Seven is a joke to the

    Reiko spoke those words with a smile on her face, yet her expression remained frosty. Even when she opened her mouth, her teeth glared coldly. Aiden said, “The Krad family doesn’t care, and neither do they want to care, what the Refined Blade Clan wants to do. I came to Riverbank just to deal with Kaze Lee. “How dare a live-in son-in-law lay his hands on the woman my brother fancies? He’s already dead! Even though Snow and my brother are not yet married, for the sake of my family, he must die! Only then can the true strength of the Krad family be demonstrated.” His tone was calm but the murderous intent was obvious. To the Krad family, killing Kaze was like squashing an ant. Reiko smiled and nodded. Her hand moved upward, subtly unbuttoned Aiden’s shirt, and then reached into his shirt to stroke his chest. “Your goal is aligned with ours. There’s a saying in your country that we should always pick on the weakest. We also have to crush Kaze Lee first, so we can flush out his

    There was only one mountainous path back to the city center from Emerald Bull Palace, and it was usually less crowded. After the car drove off and stopped tailing them, Kaze finally breathed a sigh of relief and got a shuteye.The Ghastly Thirteen Needles was indeed a powerful technique. He performed on Sasha yesterday and it consumed a lot of his energy. He had yet to recover fully after a whole day. Bang! Suddenly, a loud bang came from the front of the car, seemingly hitting something. The driver, assigned to Snow by St. Mary Hospital, immediately stepped on the brake and caused the car to screech to a stop. The car shook violently for a few moments before it stopped by the side of the road. “I’m sorry, Ms. Frost! Something suddenly appeared on the road and I couldn’t react in time. I think I hit it…” The driver turned around and apologized before he went out to check. When the driver had a better look at what happened, he was petrified on the spot, his face paled.

    Kaze’s phone rang. The call was from Snow in the car. He knew she was concerned about the situation, so he answered the phone and said, “It’s someone I knew. He was tortured and then tossed on the road. Stay in the car, and tell the driver to stay put.” Kaze realized someone set up a trap to keep him busy there. The mastermind behind this must be related to the person in the car that tailed them earlier. In other words, they might have been surrounded already. That was why he dared not let the driver drive Snow away. The driver was just an ordinary man, not a professional bodyguard. Based on his reaction to the crash, his mental state was fragile. If Kaze allowed the driver to drive Snow away, literally moving Snow away from his sight, it would only put her in danger. Kaze had to keep Snow close to himself. “Snow, call Conan. He’ll know what to do.” Kaze hung up the phone and took a pouch from his inner pocket. Inside the pouch was a set of silver needles. After per

    Kaze scoffed, “You Ryokanians really love using cheap tricks to cover yourselves. It’s not really that hard to locate you.” “You bastard!” The owner of the voice was furious. Suddenly, the car door opened and Snow came over with an anxious look. “Mr. Chairman, we must go now…” Swoosh! Before Snow could even finish, black gas erupted from the woods, forming the face of a monster. The cloud of gas shaped like a monster’s face approached Kaze rapidly before dispersing and shrouding the entire area with it. The dark color of the gas became lighter as it covered more ground. Surprised, Kaze turned to Snow and shouted, “Get in the car and lock the door!” He then quickly took a deep breath, using a special technique to keep himself conscious. He grabbed Patrick on the ground and rapidly retreated. Snow had unconditional trust in Kaze, so she quickly went back into the car and locked the door. The driver had exited the car as well and wanted to help Kaze bring Patrick in,

    “Old bastards? They made you the scapegoat?” Kaze narrowed his eyes. He did not expect to get something useful out of Patrick. Based on what Patrick said, the elders of the Weathers wanted Patrick to take the blame, so they gave him to the Ryokanians. If that was true, then someone else in the family was working for the Ryokanians, not just Casius alone. Even the entire family might be involved. However, it was not a good time to ponder the question as Kaze had to deal with the imminent danger first. As the gas spread, the black color became lighter, ultimately turning into nothing. Kaze did not lower his guard. He gestured at the nervous Snow to stay in the car. Fortunately, they were halfway down the mountain and the wind was able to dissipate the gas. “Hehehe, you’re lucky, but you can’t escape!” The eerie voice came from the woods again. This time, Kaze got a clear visual of the ninja. The ninja dressed in a camouflage outfit, revealing only his eyes, was squa

    Snow was right under Kaze when the gas hit the ground. The sizzling noise and the melted asphalt road shocked her, turning her face pale. Kaze frowned, and his expression turned serious as well. The poison that the Ryokanians used was indeed vicious. If not for his quick reaction, the poison would easily burn off Snow’s face or skin, turning a beautiful lady into a monster. Snow could barely keep herself together due to the intensity of the situation. Her face was as pale as paper. She was not hit by the poisonous gaze because of Kaze’s protection but the dust particles remained in the air. Taking in even a little made her sick and her heart raced. Kaze narrowed his eyes. He pulled a silver needle from his pouch and poked it into Snow’s head. Then, he opened the door and shoved her into the car before closing it. Kaze then slowly stepped away but after a few steps, his body started shaking and moments later, he collapsed on the floor and started to twitch uncontrollab

    “Little bastard, regret talking to me like that already?” The ninja looked at Kaze sinisterly and said, “If you just kneel and beg me for mercy, I might consider letting you go, but you have to get up to do that. Hahaha…” He laughed hysterically. In his eyes, Kaze was like a piece of meat on the chopping board, entirely at his mercy. He was sent to Arcadia to carry out assassination missions and the first target was Kaze. There were some others assigned the same mission, but to his surprise, he was the first to act and effortlessly secured the target. All he needed to do was cut Kaze’s head off and claim his reward. He felt that the mission was too easy, like taking candy from a baby. “Hehe, before I came, that woman from the Hara family told me to be careful. She said you are an expert and don’t die. Now it seems she was misinformed. “After I kill you and claim the credit, I’ll report it to the top brass and request them to punish that woman. Best if they could let m

    “Aaargh! You sneaky bastard! You ambushed me?! You were not poisoned?! How?!” The ninja got up on his feet with a frontal flip. He could barely balance his body but his eyes were burning with anger as he glared at Kaze. Rage quickly consumed him. Kaze rubbed his face to ease the numbness from pretending to be poisoned. “The poison you Ryokanians used is nothing compared to the Tyban’s Scorpion Clan, so why would I be poisoned in the first place?” “You were faking it?!” The ninja was furious. With gritted teeth, he shouted, “You sneaky bastard! You’re shameless!” “Shameless? Are you talking about yourself?” Kaze was amused by the ninja’s word choice. He said, “I pretended to be poisoned to test you and see how many more accomplices are there. Now it seems like you are alone. That puts my mind at ease.” The ninjas of Ryokan might not be a formidable foe but they were known for their unrivaled patience. During the warring period in Ryokan, the ninjas could hide in a tiny

    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

  • Guardian-In-Law   Chapter 3796 You're Not Going?

    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
