Mathias was here to return the debt of gratitude. Kaze once requested the Queens to purchase Taurus Automobiles for him as a gift. Matthias talked to his family but his family declined it. Even though the Queens had money, it was their hard-earned money. They could not satisfy Kaze’s request of more than a hundred million and it was at that moment that the Queens realized how greedy Kaze was. They wanted nothing to do with him. Therefore, the Queens told Mathias to stay in Lilyrose to return the debt of gratitude so that they could cut ties with him once and for all. When he heard about the Quints’ situation, Mathias knew it was a great chance to repay Kaze, so he came over immediately. The Quints were overwhelmed to see Mathias. The young master of a wealthy family came to them with a helping hand. How amazing! “Mr. Queen, really? Are you going to help us with anything?” Master Quint asked excitedly. Mathias was disgusted by Master Quint’s less courteous request.
“Kaze visited me at the hospital. Do you want to see him, Mr. Queen? I’ll call him over immediately,” Master Quint said. “It’s okay. I’ll contact him myself.” Mathias was fed up with Master Quint and the Quints’ flattery. He quickly left the mansion. Master Quint watched as Mathias disappeared beyond his sight. He then regained his composure and sighed. “Who would have thought it was Kaze who saved us.” He had mixed feelings and he believed it was time to view Darcy and her family differently. Now that Kaze had gotten close to the Queens of Butterworth, he was no longer the useless son-in-law. No wonder he sounded confident when he said he would make the Hansers return the company. They did not believe him at first, yet Mathias helped them get the company back with just one call. The others were jealous of Kaze. The idiot was extremely lucky to save the daughter of the Queens. After Mathias left Master Quint’s place, he contacted Kaze who was at the lawyer’s office
“What? Who do you think you are?!” Mathias took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He grunted heavily and left. For Sandy’s sake, he did not argue with Kaze. After he left the lawyer’s firm, Mathias called his uncle, the current head of the Queens and also Sandy’s father, Matthew. “Uncle Matthew, I’ve repaid Kaze. I’ll bring Sandy back to Butterworth today.” Mathias told his uncle what he did. Matthew grunted and said, “Nicely done, Mathias, but you can’t come back to Butterworth today.” “What? Why?” Mathias was confused. He wanted to stay in Lilyrose because Snow lived in this city. Unfortunately, the woman he adored did not care about him and focused on taking care of the chairman’s trivial matter, willingly. Mathias did not feel good watching Snow humble herself like that, so he wanted to go back to Butterworth. Matthew said, “I think you’ve heard of Albert Hiden, the new chief commander of South River State, right? His inauguration ceremony will be held in L
Han asked Kaze for instruction. Kaze hummed and said, “Alright. I’ll go to the Hansers. Be prepared and wait for my order.” Due to Mathias’ intervention, he already planned to visit the Hansers after he sent Darcy home. He had to get the company back for Darcy before the Hansers returned the company to Master Quint and the others. “Yes, Sir. I’ll be waiting for your order,” Han said respectfully. After the call, Kaze said he had to go out. He drove the car out of Skylar View District. Meanwhile at the Hansers’ place, everyone was shadowed by a looming depression. They had yet to recover from the two hundred million they gave away. Before they could catch a breath, another terrible news arrived. They received a call from Flint Golding, the representative of the top three families, who ordered them to return the company to the Quints. The Hansers panicked. The top three families were their main support in going against the Quints. They even used their connections to
“You stupid idiot, what do you mean? Are you cursing us?” Vincent shouted at Kaze. “Enough, Vincent. Why are you being so riled up by an idiot?” Liam stopped his grandson and then looked at Kaze coldly. “Go back and tell Logan that we will give him back the company. Just be patient.” “I am not here to take the company back for the Quints.” Kaze shook his head. Vincent was upset. “Then why are you here? To laugh at us?!” “I am here to make a deal with the Hansers.” “What deal?” Liam frowned. What could a useless son-in-law possibly propose? Not even his own family took him seriously. Kaze flung a coin into Vincent’s face. When the coin slid off Vincent’s face and fell on the floor, Kaze said, “I am acquiring Quartet Group with one dollar.” Vincent had the mark of the coin on his face. It hurt when the coin struck his face. He shouted, “You fuck! How dare you flung the coin in my face… Wait, what? What did you say? You want to acquire Quartet Group with one doll
“You? You won’t see that day coming because I’ll dig your eyes out!” Bronik was a ferocious man and he was not scared by verbal threats. He pulled his dagger out and charged at Kaze. Bang! A deafening bang sounded behind Kaze. What happened? Where did the bang come from? The Hansers were shocked. Before they realized what happened, Bronik’s dagger fell off his hand. Clank! “Argh! My leg!” He fell to the ground and held his leg in pain. His forehead was covered in sweat as he shuddered painfully. Bronik was shot in the leg and the hole in his thigh looked gory. The Hansers were stunned when they realized Bronik was shot. All of them dared not move a muscle. “Protect Mr. Lee!” A loud voice came from the entrance. Han, armed with his gun, then dashed into the house. If the God of War was hurt before his eyes, not even his superior’s superior could bear the responsibility, let alone him. "He can't hurt me," Kaze said. He pointed at Bronik and said, "Add a char
“No! Why are you people arresting me?! No!” Tom shouted and resisted the officers when he was being cuffed. The rest of the Hansers were shocked. Bronik was arrested because they thought Kaze teamed up with Han to get him. They must have gotten evidence of Bronik's crimes. Why would they arrest Tom? The family realized something was not right. Could it be that what they did secretly was exposed? Han grunted. “You can choose to remain silent but what you said will be used against you in court!” Tom was devastated and stopped struggling. Han was from the state police and he would not simply arrest people. If he ordered an arrest, he must have gotten important evidence. “Liam Hanser, how about my proposition of acquiring Quartet Group?” Kaze asked all of a sudden. Liam looked at Kaze. He was fuming to the point that his cheeks twitched. “Stop dreaming! I will never sell Quartet Group to an idiot!” he shouted. He believed Kaze was extorting him and forcing him to co
“Oh? I was wrong. I didn’t know Liam Hanser is a law-abiding citizen.” Kaze chuckled. Liam looked bitter but silenced. There was no point for him to argue anymore at this point. Kaze was terrifying. He even got Han from the state police to work with him. Who exactly was the son-in-law of the Quints? “Liam Hanser, I will tell my wife to bring her people over to take over Quartet Group. Remember, only my wife can take over the company.” Kaze did not give Liam the chance to ask any question and left the house. Sam, Tom, and the other Hanser family members were taken away by Han. Of these, Bronik’s crimes were undoubtedly the most serious and he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison. As for the others, their sentences would be determined after careful investigation. The news of the core members being arrested soon spread across Lilyrose. Everyone was shocked. The arrest was devastating to the Hansers. In addition to their schemes to usurp Quintessenti
“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
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
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
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
“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
“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
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,
“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
“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
