Master Quint got up from the floor and looked at the apology letter in excitement and utter disbelief. “T-This means they will prioritize us over the other companies? In other words, Lefteria Group promised to protect us?!” “With Lefteria Group’s influence in the underworld, other than the top three families, no one would dare to stand against us in Lilyrose anymore!” The other family members were over the moon when they learned the news. With the support of Lefteria Group, they could do whatever they wanted in Lilyrose! “Master Braford said Kaze requested this apology letter from Lefteria Group. Is it true?” someone asked suddenly. “Kaze, is it really you?” Master Quint asked excitedly. Kaze said, “I told you already yet no one believed me. I made four requests to Lefteria Group: one, Leo takes his own life; two, the elders of the company apologize; third, Alan Cummingham apologize in person and lastly, the company released an apology letter to the public. They answered
The Quints were upset compared to the disappointment when they left. They barged in ferociously and glared at Kaze. They thought Kaze would panic but they were disappointed by his nonchalant expression. “Oh? Draco went to the River Watcher Inn, and then?” he asked calmly. “You still don’t want to admit what you did?!” Deborah shouted, “You are bragging again! You must have said that you are neighbors with the chief commander, that’s why Lefteria Group satisfied all your demands!” “If not for the chief commander, you would be the one who slit your throat!” The Quint family members regained their arrogant air. Master Quint said furiously, “You are just a useless piece of shit! Other than lies and bluffs, you are good for nothing!” Recalling how frightened he had been when Sieg and the others forced him to kneel and slap himself, and then witnessing Sieg and the others kneeling before Kaze, Master Quint felt extremely embarrassed. He could not help but wish that Kaze wou
Kaze had gotten used to Miru’s self-righteous attitude so he did not bother to argue with her. He took the box, opened it, and glanced at the watch. Miru was quite generous as the watch cost more than a million dollars. Though Kaze had seen more expensive watches than this one, he was not overly surprised by this. He simply wore it on his wrist. “Take care of this! It’s expensive!” Miru said before letting him go. Agnes then said, “Miru, I heard you became the chairwoman of Lefteria Group. Congratulations! You can work together with Darcy and achieve even more!” “Of course! We’ll work together like sisters and we’ll definitely succeed in the business world!” Miru then sat down on the couch beside Darcy and curled her arms around Darcy’s hand. She pouted and added, “The only downside is that Lefteria Group will be joining Perfect World Group as its subsidiary, so there will be someone above me.” “Someone above you? You mean the mysterious chairman of Perfect World Grou
“Kaze, when I see my boss tomorrow, I’ll definitely tell him about you! I’ll tell him that some stupid guy always uses his name to brag in front of others. I wonder how my boss would react. Would he be mad or would he laugh at you?” Miru glared at Kaze, seemingly threatening him. “Miru, don’t tell your boss about him!” Kaze was unfazed but Darcy got nervous. She did not want Kaze to get into trouble again. “Kaze, apologize! With that mouth of yours, you won’t even know what kills you!” Agnes scolded him as well. She blamed Kaze and his mouth for getting them into trouble again and again. “Kaze, apologize to Miru now!” Darcy nudged Kaze and urged him in an upset tone. Kaze sighed and apologized to Miru. Miru accepted it and then said condescendingly, “Since Darcy is my best friend, I’ll tell my boss to spare you, but you’ll have to learn from the lesson too! Watch that mouth of yours! Don’t simply spew nonsense that will get you and Darcy in trouble!” After a while,
“I am terribly sorry, Ms. Scarlet. The chairman won’t be meeting you today. He said even though Lefteria Group has joined Perfect World Group, it is still an independent entity and we will not be intervening with your operations.” Snow delivered Kaze’s message to Miru. Miru was upset knowing that she would not be seeing the chairman. She dressed up formally for the meeting and waited for an hour just to be told that the meeting was canceled.Given her hot temper, she would probably lash out on the spot, but her godfather’s words echoed in her mind and she forced herself to calm down. “I see. Thank you, Ms. Frost. Please tell the chairman that I will see him another day.” Miru then strode out of the waiting room. The flames of wrath were burning strong in her eyes. “You just saw the chairman yesterday,” Snow murmured, trying to hold her laughter back. Back at Horizon Mirror, right after he had the last bite of his breakfast, he received a call. It was from Brenda. “Br
Biomedical used to be Shangrila Group’s core business. Winnie planned to reactivate it and use it as an opening to seize the market share from the top three families. “Nice. Your thoughts are clear. You just need to continue the hard work and if you run into problems you can’t solve, just come to me.” Kaze was relieved to hear her update. Winnie was not just a woman with a pretty face. She used to be the founder and also the pioneer of the old Shangrila Group, and she was capable. With her helming Shangrila Group, Kaze believed the company could return to its former glory of two years ago, or even reach new heights. Winnie was happy to win praise from Kaze. After a while, she left for work. “Winnie looked even more tired after she regained control of the company. I wonder if she sleeps and eats well,” Camry said. The elderly couple were worried about her. Even though Winnie was no longer their daughter-in-law, they viewed her as their own daughter. “She’s got a goal
“My son’s ashes have been stored here for two years and it cost two million bucks?” “It’s absurd!” Camry and Teresa were anxious when the woman demanded that much money from them just to retrieve James’ urn. “Expensive? If you think that’s expensive, don’t store it here. Just sprinkle the ashes into the air and that’s it,” the woman argued. Her disrespect and harsh words upset the elderly couple. “You better watch your mouth!” Kaze said coldly. The woman shot a glance at him and scoffed back coldly. She was obviously not afraid of him. “It’s not that I want that much. My boss said that James White is bad luck. If others know that his ashes are stored here, they won’t store their family ashes here anymore. My boss went through a lot to agree to let you keep his ashes here, so the storage fee is a million a year.” Bad luck? What kind of nonsense was that? “My son was a decent man! What do you mean that he’s bad luck?!” Camry was upset. “What do I mean? You have to ask
Upon hearing the veteran, Camry’s hand froze and he looked up in shock. Everything went silent for a moment. The woman and the man from the funeral home were also stunned. There was a hint of nervousness in their eyes. Before anyone could react, the woman shouted, “Who the hell are you? What makes you say it isn’t? Who the hell didn’t close the door? You piece of shit, get the hell out!” The veteran was an honest man and he did not know how to react to the situation. He flushed and stammered, obviously nervous. Kaze said, “Calm down, don’t be afraid. Tell us what happened.” “Sir, have a look at this!” The veteran was not good with his words, so he simply gave his phone to Kaze. He recorded what the male staff did in the storage area. When Kaze took the phone, he played the video. A few seconds later, Kaze’s eyes turned grim. Even his veins were popping on his forehead. He was livid. “Kaze, what’s on the phone?” Camry and Teresa wanted to have a look but Kaze
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
“Then what should we do?” “What else? Give him a VIP room and try to hold him down.” Rosie was displeased but she had to handle the matter herself. Clemont was a proud man. If he felt embarrassed in any way, he would certainly cause more problems. Rosie was afraid that he would do something rash once provoked. He was a man with a background. Even if he made a mistake, his father could cover up for him. However, if the club’s business was affected, Edmund would hold her responsible. That was why Rosie saw Clemont as a problem. “But they are heading to the suite already,” the bouncer said, looking worried. He had a premonition of something bad happening. “What are you guys doing?!” Rosie glared at the bouncer. They were usually smart and quick-witted so she did not have to worry about many things. Yet they let Clemont through?! “There are too many customers today. All the rooms are booked, so we have to make new arrangements.” “The other bouncer at the entranc
To many youngsters, Absolute Zero was a mysterious place. Young men and women from a better background were forbidden to set foot into the club. It was not because of the environment, but because of the human relationship within the establishment. The club was a gateway to the underworld and once exposed, the youngsters might thread onto the wrong path. Clemont was not allowed to go to Absolute Zero. However, he knew the club belonged to the Wittersons, which was his father’s rival. Therefore, he had been planning to help his father. He often used his father’s name to spend money at the club to annoy them. He brought his friends here today to show off his wealth and power. He wanted to let his friends know that he, too, was capable. “Young Master Siegfried! You’re awesome!” While surrounded by flattery, Clemont walked down the stairs to the entrance with his friends. The bouncers knew Clemont, so when he arrived, they quickly informed the management. They dared no
Kaze finally got some surprising news: Edmund had booked a room at Absolute Zero tomorrow for a business talk. In addition, Morris’ son was a regular at the club. Edmund and Morris were rivals but they looked peaceful in the open. No one knew how fierce the competition was under the table. Morris wanted to put his son in charge of the Viper’s Den but was unsure if his son could handle the matter. According to Zeeny, Morris’ son was a trust fund baby. His only ability was to make friends over alcohol. Maybe the young man liked being surrounded and flattered by people. Due to his father’s position, he was always flooded with friends and people interested in his resources. His so-called friends were just drinking buddies. None of them were any help to his career. It was the reason why Edmund did not take the son seriously. Kaze had a feeling that tomorrow would bring something interesting. They left later than usual tonight and he tipped the girls as usual. Even Dw
Kaze took a glass of beer from the girl and had a sip. “It’s okay that you still haven’t decided on your future.” He suddenly felt like a joke. He came to the club yet he tried to convince them to leave the environment without bothering to know their difficulties. “Let’s play dice!” The girl, Zeeny, smiled brightly and took the dice on the table. She was trained on how to make customers happy. Kaze did not ask the difficult questions anymore. Everyone enjoyed themselves with the games. Those who lost must drink. There were a few who sang while the others played, filling the room with joyous melody. Kaze enjoyed himself as well and slowly got to know each other better. At the same time, he learned more about the girls’ backgrounds, even though most of them were made up. To let customers tip them more, they would fabricate a pitiful background. Kaze’s goal was to fool Rosie, so he just had to enjoy himself now and nothing else. Dwight was overwhelmed by the beer
When Kaze entered the club, he saw that the place was clean and the lights were on. It was indeed not open for business yet. There were no customers inside. He could have a clear look over the entire establishment. “You guys are too early, so we had nothing prepared for you. I’ll bring you guys to the VIP room. When the music starts later, you guys can come out and have some fun, or you can call in some girls to accompany you,” Leeny said. She then pointed at a few girls walking toward her. All of them were in heels and sexy outfits. Their smiles rivaled the brightest sun and each of them had their unique charisma. All the employees of Absolute Zero were carefully handpicked. The way they dressed emphasized their personal charms. One would definitely ask for more after a glance. “Can we ask the girls to come to our room?” Dwight asked. His eyes were gleaming with interest. “Of course. This is your room. The girls will drink with you. We do provide some special service,
“I didn’t get anything from them. They just said Rosie is a dangerous woman.” “I told you to go back to see your colleagues and befriend them. Having no news is actually a good thing,” Kaze said. He might be slightly disappointed but it was expected, so he was not bothered. “Really? I thought I was quite useless.” Dwight thought he could finally get the recognition that he was waiting for but he was turned away by his boss. He was never taken seriously at the Viper’s Den, which was the reason why he disliked his colleagues and his superiors. However, he had to stay with the organization for the sake of staying alive. Ever since he met Kaze, his life changed. He thought he could improve himself but the others still did not take him seriously. Dwight was still willing to trust Kaze. “Don’t be affected by their opinions. You know better than anyone what you can do. Just focus on what you need to do and things will be alright,” Kaze said with a hint of encouragement. “Y
