The guests were ready to dig in.“Are you people for real going to eat now? All of you—leave the Ocean Hall immediately!” Ren came back a different person and started chasing everyone out while stomping angrily. The guests put their cutleries back on the table. Agnes hesitantly asked, “Ren, what happened? I thought you got rid of the gangsters!” “I couldn’t! So you people have to leave now!” Ren said impatiently. He was frightened. He wanted the guests to leave and could not be bothered to be patient with Agnes. Agnes stared at him for a few seconds and realized he was not joking. “Let’s go, everyone. I am sorry for this. This party is a disaster. If I have another chance, I’ll make it up to everyone. I’m so sorry.” Agnes apologized to her guests with tears rolling down her cheeks. The guests got up, feeling helpless and confused. They were here for the party but got chased out before they ate anything. “Mom, the party continues. We don’t need to leave.” Kaze sto
Oh? Kaze was amused by Gold Tooth’s reaction. “So, you’re saying that with all that meat and fat on you, you’re still empty?” “Master Lee, if you don’t mind, I can give you all my meat and fat. I dare not defy you. I will do whatever you want me to do.” Gold Tooth was delighted. It might be a good thing if he could serve Kaze. “You are not worthy.” Kaze knew exactly what the man was thinking. He shook his head and said, “Leave something and you can walk away.” He sized up the fat man from top to bottom. Gold Tooth was shaking but he dared not defy Kaze. “Master Lee, name whatever you want. Even if it's my arm or leg, I’ll give it to you!” “Today is an auspicious day, I don’t want bloodshed. How about getting rid of your shining gold teeth? It’s annoying,” Kaze said. “Huh?” Little did Gold Tooth expect Kaze to have him extract his signature golden teeth. The pair of golden teeth had become his trademark in the gang. “Yes, of course, Master Lee!” He clenched his t
Jack Joestar was Ren’s father, the second-generation leader of the Joestar family. “You idiot, how dare you say that about my father?!” Ren glared at Kaze when he heard Kaze calling his father by name. Agnes was also agitated. “Kaze, mind your words! What do you mean he’s not worthy? Darcy is younger than Mr. Joestar, so how is he unworthy to receive her toast?” Kaze shook his head helplessly when he saw Agnes trying to argue again. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have.” If Agnes’ enjoyment was not Kaze’s priority, he would have called Jack immediately and asked him to apologize. “You spineless coward!” Ren sneered right after Kaze surrendered to Agnes. He ignored Kaze and continued to flatter Agnes. He could tell that Agnes was in charge of the family, not even Hector had a say in anything. If Agnes viewed him as her son-in-law, then Darcy would have to divorce Kaze and he would be able to marry Darcy soon. No matter what Darcy said to refuse him, her mother would force her
Ren was delighted when he saw Darcy raise the toast. He knew Darcy had no intention to do so but she would comply if Agnes ordered her to. His plan of flattering Agnes worked perfectly. If he could manage the narrow-sighted stupid woman, she would then send her daughter to his bed. He poured a glass of wine for his father but then he realized his father was petrified. “Father, Darcy is raising a toast to you, what are you thinking?” “Huh?” Jack recovered his composure and saw the glass Ren gave him. The glass of wine was like a burning piece of coal and he immediately let go of it. Crank! The glass fell and shattered on the floor. Agnes was shocked. She thought Jack was unhappy with her daughter’s actions, so she shouted, “Darcy, what are you doing? I asked you to toast to Mr. Joestar and look what you made him do. Go get another glass for Mr. Joestar!” Jack was terrified. He knew Agnes had misunderstood him. “No, no! NO! Stop, don’t offer any toast!” The more h
Jack, who was already mortified, turned pale when he heard his son call Agnes a stupid woman. The little bastard was trying to get him killed! Slap! He got up immediately and slapped Ren in the face. Ren cried painfully and covered his face. “Father, why did you slap me!?” “I don’t just want to slap you, I want to strangle you! You little bastard!” Jack punched and kicked Ren mercilessly. Ren curled up like a shrimp while being beaten up by his father. His face was swollen after a few punches. “You little bastard! Kneel!” Jack dragged Ren over to Agnes and kicked his son behind his knees, forcing him to kneel. “Apologize to Mrs. Quint! Tell her what you did and be honest!” “What? What did I do?” Ren refused to submit. Jack was furious. He slapped his son again and shouted, “Tell her why you ordered Manager Brent to throw her on the street yesterday!” Agnes was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what Jack was referring to. “Ren, you were the one wh
“You knew?” Agnes looked at Kaze. “Mom, Ren made a love confession to Darcy yesterday afternoon, but Darcy rejected him. After I discovered what happened to you later at night, I knew Ren approached you just to get closer to Darcy.” Kaze felt relieved now that the misunderstanding had been cleared. “Kaze, you’re so smart!” Darcy praised him. She felt aggrieved when her mother blamed Kaze for everything. Now that Kaze had done something commendable, she wanted him to receive the credit. This way, her mother would take her husband seriously and not dismiss him as a boastful and useless man. “It’s just quick wit, it’s nothing special.” Agnes glared at Kaze coldly and said, “Kaze, how could you be such a coward? You knew the truth but didn’t expose that bastard! You just stood there and watched your wife suffer.” Darcy found Agnes’ words to be inappropriate. “Mom, it was you who sided with Ren and made me do it, Kaze had nothing to do with this.” Agnes was left embarrasse
Gold Tooth was honest about who made him extract his own golden teeth. It was not embarrassing if it was Kaze, he even felt proud about it. “Master Lee? Who is this Master Lee? I’d like to meet him.” Dan was intrigued. Gold Tooth recalled the terrifying encounter and said, “Dan, if you don’t want to get yourself killed, don’t even go near him.” Dan’s expression shifted and grunted unwillingly. He used his vicious fists to rise in the ranks and made himself known in Lilyrose City. He was not afraid of anyone when it came to being ruthless. “Gold Tooth, I think you overestimated that son-in-law of the Quint family. Master Lee? I think he’s just a useless garbage who loves to brag,” Roger said as he walked into the room with several of his men. “Mr. Hilfinger? You know Master Lee as well?” Dan and the others were intrigued by Roger’s words. Gold Tooth grunted and sneered, “Not only that, his son went after Master Lee’s wife and got castrated!” Roger was infuriated wh
After giving her order calmly, Darcy closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair. She rubbed her swelling temples. Having no idea what the protestors wanted yet, she was anxious. Kaze frowned while driving. Soon, they arrived at the construction site of Passion Fragrance District. The main entrance was blocked and the car could not go in. Kaze was forced to stop the car. “I’ll go have a look.” Darcy got out of the car. Kaze shot a glance at the two Tiger Fangs soldiers, signaling them to temporarily stop following her. He then called Draco. “Bring the Tiger Fangs to Passion Fragrance District construction site,” he said as he stared at the protestors at the main entrance. “I am the COO of Quintessential Group, Darcy Quint. I am in charge of this site, let me go in and talk to my employees. I will come out with a satisfying answer,” Darcy shouted when she arrived before the protestors. The protestors immediately surrounded her when they heard her. “Let her in, s
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
