Taylor’s words stirred an uproar. It went crazy online. The God of War was more popular than any A-list celebrity. Alisa did not have to throw money into publicity to make the issue a huge deal anymore. Taylor was trending on social media for crying to the God of War on her knees. Her name and other keywords were trending. The usual breakups, divorces, and scandals that the public loved to hate were no longer going viral. “The God of War’s buddy, James White, assaulted Taylor.”“The God of War’s face exposed.” All terms related to the incident occupied the top ten hashtags. All of Arcadia had their attention at the press conference. The server of all social media platforms went down. The network engineers were summoned late into the night to fix the servers urgently. The press put in the extra shift to publish articles about the press conference. They could expect huge traffic on their sites. “Taylor, are you going to apologize to Shangrila Group and pay your r
That night, the Internet broke. Kaze became famous overnight.“He’s just a loser who takes his wife’s family name. How dare he impersonate the God of War! Who does he think he is?” “This is an insult to the God of War and all citizens.” “I don’t approve of you voicing your opinion for all of us, but I agree that the guy should be executed.” “Kaze doesn’t represent all men who take their wives’ names, but I agree that he should be executed.” Such comments went rampant online. Most of the public spent their night in a rage. They were filled with kindness and a sense of justice. The public could not stand to have the God of War, the national hero, insulted and discredited by a mere son-in-law of a somewhat wealthy family. A petition was set up that night itself. Millions of citizens signed the petition, calling for punishment for Kaze. Some had expressed that they had bought flight tickets to Lilyrose. They summoned the public to protest the city government today
Everybody glared at Kaze. The Quints found themselves blameless for once. Trouble came looking for them when they did nothing at all. For no reason, the public tore into them because of Kaze. “The idiot has ruined our family. He must separate from Darcy now.” “Darcy shouldn’t just divorce. She needs to throw the idiot out. It’s the only way to save our family.” The Quints clamored. They rushed over to force Kaze to cut ties with the Quints. “Don’t think you can talk your way out of it this time, Darcy. Either you divorce the fool, or I’ll have to disown you too,” Master Quint said ruthlessly. “Just do it, Darcy. Why are you still hesitating?” Agnes and Agatha urged. Only Sky and Rose did not want Darcy and Kaze to separate. Nevertheless, their opinions did not matter because they were not taken seriously being the youngest in the family. “Alright. I have made up my mind.” Darcy turned to Kaze with a heart-wrenching smile. “I’ve decided to leave the family wit
“You want me to apologize to the God of War publicly? Did I hear that right?” Kaze was shocked. Was he supposed to issue a public apology to himself? That was dumb. “What? What’s wrong with apologizing to the God of War?” Sky said with pursed lips, “I know you’re badass, Kaze. You’re not a loser like everybody claims you are, but compared to the God of War… “Just forget it. The God of War is in a whole different realm.” Kaze turned to Rose. “Do you think so too, Rose?” “Yeah.” Rose nodded. “I didn’t know much about the God of War before, but after this incident, I realized how terrifying the God of War’s influence is. “Let’s not talk about Taylor, but A-list celebrities like Andrew and Liv can’t compare to the God of War.” The girl uttered with thrill, and at the end of her speech, she solemnly announced, “I’ve announced that the God of War will be my only idol.” “Forget it. I don’t want fans.” Kaze waved his arm. Rose rolled her eyes. Kaze must be out of
The next day, a commotion invaded the quiet area of Skylar View District first thing in the morning. Both families in the villa were woken up by the noise. “Oh, no. Don’t tell me the God of War wants him arrested.” Agnes glared at Kaze anxiously and walked out. Everybody followed suit to see what was going on. Once at the neighborhood entrance, they noticed the gate was crowded.A few Tiger Fang Militia soldiers on duty kept watch of the gate, not letting anybody in. “I’m sorry, Ms. Quint. These people showed no intention of attacking, and they were outside the district. We did not take measures to tighten the security.” With Darcy’s family approaching, the leader of the security team explained. “It’s alright. Sorry to trouble you.” Darcy sighed. Being neighbors with the chief commander had its perks. The area enjoyed enhanced security thanks to the military presence.Otherwise, these people would have broken into the place. Darcy walked over and peeked through
“Help! The idiot slapped him!” “What the hell is wrong with this idiot?! He pretended to be the God of War and now he’s slapping people?” “Damn! He’s quick! But he slapped someone on live! He’s dead meat!” “GGWP!” As the famous influencer cried and screamed, both the live comments and the entrance outside the residential district went crazy. Someone even recorded the scene and posted it on different social media platforms. The incident soon went viral and was trending on different platforms. The live welcomed a surge of viewers and the comments flooded the screen as a reverse waterfall. All the other influencers were excited. All the cameras were pointed at Kaze. “You see that?! That stupid idiot slapped me and he impersonated the God of War! He slapped me on my live stream!” The poor influencer forgot to scream as he showed the injuries on his face. He could not even speak properly after the slap. “Shut up!” A foot stomped on his face. Thump! The famous i
Terry’s followers continued to rise and it was all because of the God of War. He was no one but a side character at the press conference, yet he became famous overnight on the Internet! A ton of sponsors were already messaging him. If everything went well, he could start racking in a huge load of money starting from this moment. His father, Wester, was also a rich man with a few hundred million worth of assets, but it was due to his hard work of more than a decade. Terry, his son, became famous and earned as much as him in one night. God of War was indeed the hottest topic on the Internet and in real life! “Kaze, you are done for! I’ve captured everything you’ve done live and no one can save you now!” Terry shouted excitedly as he raised his selfie stick. “Do you have any idea how many viewers are watching my live? Fifty million! And the numbers are rising! It’s going to reach a hundred million soon! And it’s all thanks to you! It’s all because of you that I got so many
Violation? What violation?! “Impossible! I’m a national star right now! I defended the God of War’s name! What’s with the violation?!” Terry almost lost his mind. He shouted at the people behind him, “Go contact the company! Give me back my account! Or I will go to another platform and go live! They will lose a megastar for good!” It had just been one night and Terry already got a team of assistants. His assistant quickly contacted the platform that got him banned. After a while, the assistant put her phone down and looked at Terry with disbelief. “Boss, the platform said they were ordered by some special government department to ban your account. Not only you but everyone who talked about the God of War or did duets on the topic was all banned, or at least shadowbanned. “The accounts who spread false news about the God of War are also banned, not just on one platform but across every single social media platform. The severe ones are even arrested!” As the assistant rep
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
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
