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
Darcy and her family finally understood why the CEOs of different social media platforms would come all the way to Lilyrose just to apologize to them. The God of War found out someone was using his name to cause a disturbance, so he intervened and stopped it. “The God of War is wise! All the social media platforms are calling Kaze the impersonator but only the God of War saw through Taylor’s stupid trick!” Rose’s eyes were gleaming with infatuation. She somehow became the God of War’s biggest fan. “Stop it!” Nelson stopped his daughter from being overly obsessed. He then looked at Kaze and said coldly, “Even though the God of War stepped in this time, you got Rose in trouble because you impersonated him and we all got into trouble because of you. I think Darcy should consider leaving you.” He had always wanted to matchmake Darcy with Kiev and this incident gave him another opportunity. His words increased the tension in the living room. Kaze looked at Nelson coldly. “Yo
Nelson was frightened, but fortunately, it was not that bad or else his career would be ruined. “Kaze that jinx! He was right!” The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He called his wife, Agatha, and berated Kaze on the phone. Agatha felt bad for her husband knowing that his hand hurt badly after copying the manual one hundred times. She wanted to help her husband, so she called Kaze over to scold him. “Kaze, can you watch your mouth? Nelson called me and told me he was punished to copy the confidentiality manual a hundred times! You are such a jinx!” The others were confused. “Kaze, are you a prophet or something? What you said came true and it’s not just once or twice.” Rose was annoyed as well. Kaze was scolded by his relatives but he did not argue back. Back at Lilyrose Strategic Department, Nelson received a call from his wife, telling him that she had scolded Kaze. He felt an instant relief. “That idiot. How dare he lecture me! I’ll make Darcy di
Kaze parked his car by the side of the road in front of Shangrila Group’s office building. He watched the crowd at the entrance coldly before he turned his car into the underground parking lot. When Kaze went up and met with Winnie, he learned that the crowd in front of the building was hired by the top three families. “Since morning, the crowd has been getting mineral water and food. They even got umbrellas when the sun was too hot. “I sent one of our employees to disguise as one of them and he’s invited into some strange chat group. He even said that they are paid five hundred a day and will continue this tomorrow. “The top three families are really rich. Many people can’t even earn five hundred a day!” Winne grumbled. She was disgusted by how dirty the top three families were. “The crowd is making noise and it’s disturbing our employees. When our employees went out for lunch, those people would follow them around and scold them. The employees are scared and they dare n
A place for retired folks to exercise. A bottle of water would be provided every day at no cost. It sounded too good to be true. The elderly men and women on the basketball court were intrigued and excited. They grabbed their things and went over to the square instantly. “We’ll help to carry the water!” The regular players of the court were thrilled as well as they finally got their court back. “Shangrila Group! Apologize!” “Terrible company! Apologize to Taylor!” More than a hundred protesters with banners and signage were shouting in front of the office’s entrance. Then, a bunch of elderly folks came over. The crowd thought the elderly folks were here to join them, which somehow fueled their passion. “Move out of the way! Move! We are going to exercise here!” However, the elderly folks started to push the protesters away to seize the place for themselves. They did not care about the protestors as they had already gotten permission from Shangrila Group. The s
The incident did not sit well with Kaze, so he left them out to dry. After much searching, Kaze came across a café. Kaze bought a cup of coffee. Cupping the drink between his hands, Kaze sipped slowly. Many passengers swarmed the arrival hall in the airport, dragging along their luggage or pulling out their phones to get a pick-up. They all had a destination, a place they had to be in a rush. Intrigued, Kaze followed the crowd out. Kaze turned on his phone, and a text message from his airport pick-up came in. He glanced at the message, curious about who the person was. Nevertheless, Kaze trusted that the Westeros Branch members would not set him up out in the open. At most, they would pull little stunts to mess with him. Kaze was not the type to sweat the small stuff. However, he would not tolerate any extreme behavior. He had been keeping a low profile back in Butterworth, keeping the limelight off him. The purpose was to handle Jet without unnecessary complicati
“Alright. I will work hard to be the manager of the Northborn Group. You need to show me the ropes and teach me about management.” Leah looked at Katie with a smile. She believed Katie had not lost her mind. Katie simply had her memory mixed up. “You need to keep your people in line and reward those who deserve it. It all boils down to profits. “You need to work toward managing your people and working with rivals. You’ve got to keep the balance, and nobody loses out. “You need to build your own system when it comes to working together. Don’t be led around by the nose.” Hearing that Leah would start work soon, Katie imparted her knowledge. “Don’t worry too much about things. Joey is nice. You can go to her for help,” Katie said earnestly. Katie seemed to be herself at the moment. Leah wondered if Katie faked her insanity to escape the punishment. “What have become of you? Did they do something to you? “Did you really betray Kaze?” Leah whispered while leaning close
Leah kept working on her knowledge until late into the night. Just as she was about to hit the sack, she got a message from Snow. Learning was a hard enough process. The text message came out of the blue. Leah did not expect Snow to contact her at night. The message was strange as well. Leah could not understand why Snow would give her the address of a nursing home. Leah was determined to turn things around. She strived to become stronger instead of being a burden. She was grateful for Kaze’s help. At least, she had a job now. However, her gratitude was not extended to Snow. She believed Snow had gone too far. Snow left her feeling powerless. Leah did not think much about the message. She assumed that the text was not meant for her. Since Leah did not respond to the text, Snow put the matter aside and went to bed. Leah called Snow the next day. “Why did you send me an address?” Leah went straight to the question. She had been equipping herself with knowledge before
Snow could not believe her eyes. Katie suddenly went quiet and behaved like the CEO she was.However, Katie did not look like she was right in the mind earlier. “What’s going on? She seems to have gone insane.” Snow turned to the warden, still digesting the change. Katie had lost touch with reality before the Viper’s Den did anything to her. “How did this happen? She has been taking her meals. Just days earlier, she nagged about getting out because she was worried about her daughter. As usual, we didn’t respond to her requests.” The warden found the whole thing peculiar too. Just a few days ago, Katie demanded her release. Now, she kept to herself and abided by the rules. Out of the blue, Katie went nuts. Things had gotten complicated. Snow wanted to keep Katie behind bars due to her betrayal. However, Kaze decided against pursuing the matter for Leah’s sake. Katie would be let go soon enough, but she would lose her job at the Northborn Group. Katie’s presence woul
It was quiet in the office. Snow sorted the last bit of paperwork before picking her head up in exhaustion. Her initial plan was to delegate the tasks. However, Katie was controlling. Previously, she personally oversaw many matters. Snow could not distribute the responsibilities because the employees had no experience in handling them. They came to Snow for every tiny, little thing, and Snow really got her hands full. Despite her frustration, Snow could let things go as Katie was locked up. “I should pay her visit.” Snow decided to see Katie. Some things should not be left unsaid. Leah would be working for the Northborn Group soon, and the mother and daughter should meet to tie up loose ends. The truth would put Leah to shame, and her guilt would stop her from ever betraying Kaze. After a quick bite, Snow drove to the prison. Katie was furious when she was imprisoned. She was one step away from victory. She was so close to leaving Butterworth to head to Westeros
“Why do you want to sell the properties? Do you need money? Don’t you have some saved?” Joey had a good understanding of Leah’s finances since she ran all the paperwork. “My mother is being held, and I need money to ask favors. Maybe I can get her out.” Leah was not thinking much. Money could always be replaced, but not her mother’s freedom. “Don’t be silly. This is not the way to go.” Though Joey did not have the details, she observed that things were not as simple as Leah thought. Kaze was safe now, but the fact that Katie had betrayed Kaze and revealed his whereabouts remained unchanged. Katie had broken the Viper’s Den’s rules. Even if she got out, she would be a wreck. With Snow running the Northborn Group, Katie would remain a failure. Either way, Katie would not get away with it. Even if Leah offered all her assets, Katie’s situation would not change. It was a waste of money and resources for Leah to save her mother. Nothing would come out of it. “But I
“Give me an answer. Are you taking the job? If you are, you should sort out your affairs. Don’t bring your personal feelings to work.” Snow was not the type to go easy on fragile women. If Leah did not have what it took, she could be forced to leave the company. Nevertheless, Katie had left a lot of assets to Leah. Even without work, Leah could very well survive. The girl would have trouble keeping the wealth, seeing that she was without power or connections. If Leah had a job, she would have the resources to hold onto her assets. Leah had seen the best and worst of mankind. She was once the center of attention, and now, everybody avoided her. It dawned on Leah that it was over for Katie. If Leah could not even keep a job, she would lose everything. “I didn’t know things would happen.” Leah never thought that Katie was capable of stabbing Kaze and her in the back. The thought of betrayal put Leah in distress. Kaze was a great guy who helped Leah a lot. Feeling ete
Leah got dressed and was ready to leave, but she did not know who to turn to. She thought about going to her wealthy friends to see if they could uncover anything through their connections. However, Leah could not get a hold of them. It dawned on Leah that loyalty would fade when power was gone. Even though Katie was just missing, intel spread around Butterworth very quickly. These people must have found out and have chosen to stay away. Leah had always been treated like royalty. Nobody had ever avoided her like the plague. Nevertheless, she had not been in touch with these friends since her injury. Now, in her attempt to contact them, she could not reach them. “Why is this happening? My good friends have gone MIA, and I’m getting silence from those who have been trying to connect.” Sitting on the couch, Leah looked out the window in despair. She tried to seek help with her mother’s search, but her efforts were futile. She could do nothing for her mother. All al
“I have to work hard starting today. But before that, I have to get some sleep.” Snow remembered that Kaze punished her to get some sleep. He said her face looked tired and pale, signs of how hard she had been working. It felt great being cared for. It was because of his kindness, Snow fell for Kaze uncontrollably. Yet she understood not all things were meant to be. After she returned home, she went to sleep immediately without talking to anyone. She only woke up in the afternoon after a comfortable and easy sleep. Next, she would have to work on many things, first being taking over Northborn Group. Katie’s disappearance had the company shaken, but it gave many others a chance. They tried to calm their subordinates down and contact the higher-ups for more information, hoping that they could replace Katie as the new CEO. Little did they know, their preparations would eventually fall short. Snow and her secretary arrived at Northborn Group in the afternoon, and her a
