“G-Guys, we are all in the business together. Why don’t we sit down, have some beer, and talk…” Gold Tooth forced an ugly smile on his face knowing that he was dealing with the notorious Twin Ghosts of Chrysant. Even his voice was shaking. He tried to stall the Twin Ghosts while figuring out a way to request help from Kaze. Otherwise, Dan and him would surely die at the hands of the Twin Ghosts. His loyal man, King Kong, was just killed before his eyes! “Twin Ghosts, that old fag is just stalling. Don’t fall for it!” A wicked voice came from the door. It was Dexter, Lyn’s father. Jake and the others were also there, all staring at Gold Tooth and Dan. Dexter, Jake, and the others resented Gold Tooth and Dan for slapping them in front of everyone back at Wuthering Pavilion. Gold Tooth’s and Dan’s expressions turned bitter. They should have slapped them to death back at Wuthering Pavilion and this would not happen. “I know he is stalling,” said Dawn, the elder brot
The Twin Ghosts came to Lilyrose with a bunch of gangsters from Chrysant. With the two monsters taking the lead, Gold Tooth and Dan’s territories were all swept. Some of their men escaped to save their own lives, while some turned on Dan and Gold Tooth and sided with the Twin Ghosts instead. In less than one night, the underworld of Lilyrose had completely changed. Lefteria Group already lost the battle with the Twin Ghosts at Melrose and Miru was still recovering. They could not do anything to stop the Twin Ghosts from taking over. With their ferocity and brutality, no one in Lilyrose’s underworld was able to stop them. On the next morning, while Darcy was having breakfast, Miru called her to give her a warning. “Darcy, stay at home and don’t go out for the next two days. Hudson Vinland had lost his mind. He brought the Twin Ghosts here to Lilyrose. Even Dan and Gold Tooth were hospitalized. I think the Twin Ghosts will go after you soon.” “Miru, you have to be careful
“I’ll inform Albert right away.” Draco then called Albert. Then, the heads of the Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families came to visit. The three of them had masks and glasses on to cover their faces. Kaze frowned. “Why are you people looking like you are here to steal stuff?” “Mr. Lee, Chief Commander Lang!” The three of them took off their masks and glasses and bowed respectfully. Bernard said bitterly, “Mr. Lee, the Twin Ghosts came to Lilyrose, and Gold Tooth and Dan were attacked. We are just scared.” Other than Dan, Gold Tooth, and Johnson, they were the ones who sided with Kaze back at Wuthering Pavilion. Now that Gold Tooth and Dan almost got killed and Johnson almost lost his mayor’s position, they were terrified as well. They were afraid that the Twin Ghosts would go after them. Peter sighed and said, “No one knows who is next in line but the three of us would probably suffer. I don’t dare to let my family go out either.” “Yet even at our own house, we a
Kaze was worried about Darcy, so he went home after the hospital visit. Before he left, he asked Professor Whiteman to try his best to help Dan and Gold Tooth. At the same time, Hudson transferred his base of operation to another mansion. The mansion’s developer was from Sunrise City and the boss was close with Hudson. The guards would carefully check every visitor at the entrance and only then Hudson could enjoy peace of mind. As Kaze suspected, Hudson was afraid that Kaze would locate him using the underworld’s connection and then called the police on him. Even though he still looked down on Kaze, he admitted that he had underestimated the idiot. Kaze’s connection in Lilyrose was far wider than expected. He even transferred Yume and Alfred back to Chrysant. “Next would be the Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families,” Hudson said viciously as he sat on the couch. “Master Hudson, we just got news that the Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families had police officers at thei
Zenny resented Kaze. Speaking of Kaze’s name made his expression bitter. Hudson nodded. “Very well, I’ll realize your dream. Do you have any idea how to get Winnie Souffle and her daughter?” Zenny pondered. He might have a way to trick Winnie but Brenda was never close with him. If he asked Winnie to bring Brenda along, Winnie might suspect something. Therefore, he had to go after Brenda first. “Master Hudson, Winnie’s daughter is attending kindergarten at Golden Sun Kindergarten and it’s time for me as a father to pick her up from school,” Zenny said wickedly. Hudson waved and told his men to bring Zenny away. …When Camry went to the kindergarten to pick up his granddaughter, he saw Zenny coming out with the girl. Brenda looked timid, seemingly afraid of Zenny. “Zenny?” Camry was surprised to see Zenny picking up Brenda for the first time. “Camry, I’m here to pick Brenda up. Just leave it to me.” “Oh, okay…” Camry watched as Zenny took Brenda away. On s
“Hmph! Look at you defending him and shit. I know you let him get under your pants and I don’t want his money! He fucked my wife and made me look like a fool! I’ll skin him alive if I have the chance!” Zenny bellowed with the most ferocious look. “Y-You sick bastard! Kaze and I are clean!” “I don’t care whatever he sticks inside you anymore! I want him dead today and before he dies, I’ll make him kneel before me!” Meanwhile, the soldiers escorting Winnie had noticed the commotion inside the car. “Someone is trying to abduct Ms. Souffle. Stop the car!” Just as the soldiers wanted to stop Zenny’s car, several other cars rammed into their car and stopped them on the spot. The doors opened and a group of thugs, armed with metal pipes, came down. Clank! These metal pipes were dragged across the asphalt road, causing irritating clanks. The leader of the group was Kurt Ulanzi. Angered, the soldiers got rid of the thugs in the shortest time possible but the car carrying Win
Being a diligent man, Hudson always preferred to secure an escape plan. He was afraid of his location being exposed, so he did not tell his men to bring Winnie and Brenda to the mansion. “No, Sir.” “Great.” Hudson then called in the Twin Ghosts and gave them the tablet. “You two have done a lot for me and I won’t just ask for your service for free. The mother and daughter here are yours for the night. After that, take care of Kaze Lee for me. I want you to torture him.” The Twin Ghosts were not just merciless killing machines, but they were also psychotic sexual predators. When they went after Steve Lee at Melrose, they raped and tortured Sully’s wife before killing her. The moment they saw Winnie and Brenda, they shrieked excitedly. “Thank you, Master Hudson!” They bowed and then left for Wuthering Pavilion. When they arrived, the driver, who drove Winnie and Brenda earlier, welcomed them. “Where’s the mother and daughter?” Dusk wore a wicked grin on his pale
“Get away from me!” Winnie cried as loud as she could and tried to resist. “Godfather! Aaaaah!” Brenda sobbed louder as fear consumed her. Neither of their cries could soften the hearts of those two monsters. Quite the opposite, their distressed cry aroused them. They giggled as they approached the mother and daughter. “You two are dead!” Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a bang. The loud bang frightened Zenny. He felt like his soul was scared out of his body. However, to Winnie, it was the horns of the cavalry arriving. “Kaze!” she cried. “Kaze? Kaze Lee?” The Twin Ghosts paused and turned around stiffly, staring at Kaze and Albert with their creepy eyes. Dusk grinned and said, “He’s here.” Dawn widened his eyes and said, “Master Hudson said we must torture him, so don’t kill him just yet.” Dusk widened his grin. “Why don’t we break every bone in his body? I like to listen to people scream,” he said ferociously. Winnie was horrified when she hea
Dwight gave some suggestions. “But I’m worried about being a nuisance to your family.” Kaze remained hesitant, torn between decisions. “No, you won’t. I usually live alone. They stay somewhere else. They barely visit. I’ll just let them know not to visit for now,” Dwight replied. Dwight figured out what was in it for him. He could not let Kaze leave. “I don’t want to put your family in an awkward position.”Kaze was still considering the matter. “Relax. They don’t live with me anyway. The room I have for you is tidy. No one has stayed there before.“I’ll hire some help to freshen up the place. I can guarantee you an experience no less than at the hotel.” Dwight spoke with great confidence. “We should finish our food and doggie-bag the rest. I’ll take you to my place.” Dwight was ready to get things going. Kaze took the offer and nodded. “I’ll be in your care then.” Kaze was glad that his plan went through. Dwight had no idea that he got played. Nevertheless,
“I’m new to the place, so I don’t know much. Can you show me around when you’re available?” “No problem, but I usually have some stuff to take care of. I can’t be there 24/7. “Why don’t you propose to the branch that you want me to be your guide and attendant?” Dwight suggested. There was no telling whether Kaze would accept his proposal, but it was an opportunity to prove himself. He was never involved in the core operation. Often enough, he was the branch members’ punching bag. Though Dwight was aware that he was not good enough for the big stuff, he still wanted to succeed. Kaze was the trusted aide of the Butterworth Branch chief. He was in Westeros for a reason. By joining Kaze, Dwight would come across the major players. Kaze saw through Dwight’s plans. “Sure. I’ll do that.” Kaze did not mind the request. “Great. I’ll let them know on your behalf. I’ll be responsible for your needs while in the city.” Dwight was overjoyed at the opportunity. “So you live
“You must be rich. I often see rich people picking tabs for everybody. Talk about extravagance.” The tension in the air was lifted when Kaze offered to pay for everything. “I’m not. Consider it an apology,” Kaze explained, not wanting to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. He did not see the point of continuing the conversation. Dwight’s angry screams came from outside. “What the hell is this? I only ordered a bunch of stuff. Why am I being charged an exorbitant amount?“What do you mean my friend is paying for everybody? That’s throwing money away,” Dwight said while storming his way over. “I know you have money, but you shouldn’t do this, Mr. Lee.” Dwight did not approve of this type of generosity. “You rubbed them the wrong way. It was only right to apologize. Besides, it’s not a lot of money.” Kaze looked at the bill and handed a bank card to Dwight. “It’s my treat.” The consumption was barely a dent in Kaze’s savings. The meal did not cost more than his us
Kaze observed as the jeep took off further off course, past the towering buildings to a run-down neighborhood. “This is where I usually reside. My home is not too far away, but I think you might have trouble adapting to this place.” Dwight did not forget to book Kaze a hotel. Kaze could not possibly stay with him. The hotel was around the area anyway. “Didn’t you say that you haven’t tried the local cuisine? I’ll take you out for a bite. “The barbecue ribs here are to die for. We’ve got the dry-rubbed and saucy kind.” Dwight parked the car and hopped out right away. Opposite the parking lot was not the cleanest food joint. Looking in from the outside, Kaze realized that the place was packed. Kaze understood that the restaurant must be known for some kind of dish. The customers were from all walks of life, so the food must be great. “There’s not much to see here, but the food is tasty. If you don’t mind, we can order something inside.” Kaze was not particularly con
Dwight was surprised and curious as to who Kaze really was. From what he gathered, Kaze was a confidante of the Butterworth Branch chief. The purpose of Kaze’s visit was to learn and share. Dwight worked on the fringes, so his access to information was limited. Nevertheless, he got the feeling that Kaze was just an ordinary guy just like him. The only difference was that Kaze was lucky to rub shoulders with important people. Dwight did not get chances like that. “Who are the most influential people in the Viper’s Den Westeros Branch?” Kaze asked in the car. Dwight was taken aback by the question. Still, he had an answer to that. “So you don’t know much about the situation?” Dwight suddenly felt important. “Well, I’m new to the city. I will be running into them soon, so I need to make sure I get my facts right,” Kaze said humbly. This was Dwight’s shot, and he needed to present his best. “Relax, Kaze. I’ll tell you everything I know.” Dwight would reveal some info
Kaze glanced at the flowers. There was a card for well-wishes too.Curious, Kaze reached out to read the card. It was written, “To my eternal lover and sweetheart.” Dwight grabbed Kaze’s bag. Since the sign in his hand was getting in the way, Dwight tossed the placard in the trash can. As Dwight turned his head back, he saw Kaze reading the card that came with the flowers. He tried to stop Kaze, but it was too late. Dwight had not attended to a guest of high importance before. The task was assigned to him at the last minute. In the past, Dwight was usually on the sidelines, never getting close to major matters. He would always get the small, insignificant jobs. Dwight often bought drinks for his superiors to build connections. However, he had always been kept out of the loop. Now that an opportunity had fallen onto his lap, Dwight was not about to let it slip. He wanted to show what he could do. When Dwight arrived at the airport for the pick-up, most people car
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
