“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
The people who arrived before the gate were the CEOs of respective social media platforms. All the influencers were thrilled to see them as if they were some superstars. They forgot about Kaze and went up to the CEOs. Terry rushed to the front and went up to Mega Dance’s Alonso. “Mr. Anderson! I am Terry Zolda, the one who exposed Kaze yesterday! Why did the platform ban my account? Tell your men to give me back the access…” “Get out of my face!” Alonso bellowed and glared at Terry before he could finish. The other influencers were pushed away as well. When the CEOs saw Kaze standing further away, their expressions shifted slightly. They nervously strode up to him. “Mr. Lee! We are here to apologize!” More than a dozen CEOs of famous social media platforms bowed before Kaze en masse. Be it Terry and the influencers or Darcy and her mother, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. They were shocked by the scene before their eyes. What happened? The CEOs le
“We were cyberbullied because those people, in order to gain views and attention, fueled the flames from behind.” Kaze grunted angrily and added, “Just making them apologize is going easy on them.” If he did not agree to the strategic lie, he would not let those people off the hook so easily. Each one of them would have to pay for what they did. Darcy comforted him. "It's over now. Calm down. Thank God we got away this time. It's all Taylor Swan's fault! She looks innocent on the outside, but underneath she's a vicious person. She almost got us into trouble!" Darcy was also irritated by what happened. “Don’t worry. That woman will pay. She can’t run,” Kaze said coldly. At Dynasty Hotel. “Alisa, you’re amazing! This is what you call killing with a borrowed knife! Kaze and his family are being cyberbullied and I became the victim and won the netizens’ compassion! I went on X and saw my name trending behind the God of War and the stupid idiot! After this, I’ll be famous an
“Calm down! Calm down!” Alisa said to Taylor, but she was also comforting herself. She was always smarter than others and due to her pride, she refused to accept defeat just like that. “Mr. Willis, is there any way around this?” “Yes! Based on reliable information, four days later, the chief commander of South River Strategic Department, Albert Hiden, will hold an inauguration ceremony here in Lilyrose. “Albert Hiden used to train under the God of War, so the God of War will be invited to attend the event. You two can seize the chance and apologize to him and everything will be solved.” Alisa and Taylor reignited their flames of hope upon hearing Mr. Willis. However, to meet the God of War, they would have to spend one billion to purchase an entry. Since most of the invited guests were military personnel, only a small number of entries were open to the public. The top three families of Lilyrose had spent a billion each to secure their entry slots. “Mr. Willis, can the
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
