“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
“Aaagh! Fuck!” Dusk cried in pain on the ground. His ferocity was replaced by fear that everyone shared when hurt. “Dusk!” Dawn shouted angrily, his eyes bloodshot. The two of them relied on their fists and ferocity to reign in the underworld and kill all who got in their way. Yet Dusk did not even last a hit in front of Albert and was crippled. It was more terrible than killing him off. Dawn’s heart was bleeding. For the first time in his life, he felt fear and it was from Albert. “It’s your turn now.” Albert pointed at him. The tables had turned. The predator became the prey. Dawn clenched his teeth and said, “Wait, I’m sorry. We were wrong! Please let us go and we assure you this will be over! We won’t come after you anymore!” His ferocity was completely gone and was replaced by a calm and sane look. “You brothers aren’t as crazy as rumored. It seems like you are just pretending to satisfy that sick fetish of yours.” Albert strode over to Dawn and said
“Hahaha! Darcy must have found out that her husband is in your hands, so she’s calling to beg for mercy!” “That bitch caused Lyn to be disfigured! When she’s here later, I’ll make her kneel before us!” Dexter and the others laughed loudly as if they had gotten their revenge. “Very well. I want to meet her as well. Tell Darcy to come here,” Hudson said to his man. His frosty eyes looked ambitious. His target was never Kaze but the companies that Darcy owned. Now, he was one step closer to achieving his original goal. “Winnie Souffle is in my hand, so Shangrila Group is mine as well. So are Quartet Group and Sky Ocean Corporation. Not bad.” Even with his usual calm disposition, he could not help but be delighted by the outcome. “Granduncle Hudson.” Darcy came to Wuthering Pavilion with Miru, who wore a heavy look on her face. She originally did not want to take the risk because the Twin Ghosts traumatized her. However, since her friend decided to risk it all to save K
“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
“Worried about the mercenaries? I’ve taken all of them out and anyone with a sane mind would know by now not to come after me. Why would they make the same mistake again?” Kaze killed all the mercenaries. There was no one else the mastermind could send after him anymore. Even if there were, they would have to reconsider it after what had happened. Taking out the mercenaries in silence was a strong showcase of his strength. Once the mastermind found out, he or she would definitely stay away. Besides, Kaze had decided to continue his journey to Westeros without telling anyone. He could board a random flight to his destination, and no one would ever know. “Take me to the airport,” Kaze said to the driver. He and Snow were in the rear seat. “When you go back to Butterworth, don’t rush things. Now that Katie has made a mistake and is forced to step down, you can take over Northborn Group,” Kaze said. “Speaking of Katie, after I locked her up, her daughter, Leah, came to me
Miguel stated his strength so that Kaze and Snow would look at him differently. “That doesn’t mean we have to choose you.” Snow saw nothing stellar in him. Snow’s harsh words surprised Miguel and left him deeply displeased. Yet when he looked at Kaze, he dared not say a word. “I can work hard. Even if I am not qualified now, I can work toward that goal.” “Of course, you are not qualified now. You need to improve yourself to meet the basic requirements. Then we’ll talk about you joining us.” Snow just wanted to get this matter over and done with, so she handed Miguel her name card. “When you think you are qualified, you can give me a call.” Since she would eventually take over the largest force in Butterworth, she needed to build a team of her own—one she could truly trust. Miguel might just be an ordinary man who looked fierce but he was courageous and had the potential to be better. “Can I follow him instead?” Miguel took the name card and learned Snow’s name. He
“You did well,” Kaze praised Miguel. It was not easy for someone to fire a gun and take a life, even when he had basic training. Though without the proper technique and training, the shot was nothing stellar. “Really?” Miguel was thrilled by the praise. He might be tall and fit and have arms full of tattoos, but he had never gotten into a fight before. He was happy that someone he admired praised him. It made his day even more than escaping alive. Kaze wanted to continue but the cars had arrived. He walked forward and revealed himself in front of the headlights. The hostages were scared. They stepped back, some of them entered the hangar once more and tried to shut the door. Miguel stood in their way and stopped them from closing it up. “What are you doing? Kaze is still here and help has arrived. Stop hiding,” he said. He detested their selfish behavior. Kaze saved them but they did not even thank him. They even continued to suspect Kaze’s identity. Their be
“How dare those men hijack the plane and take Kaze. They must be punished…” Despite her grumbles, Snow grew anxious. “Given Mr. Lee’s capabilities, he won’t be hurt.” The agents around her tried to comfort her. They believed she was being too nervous. “I know, but we as subordinates have failed him by allowing this to happen. We have to do our best to make up for the mistake, and not rely on Mr. Lee to get out because he can.” Snow drowned in self-blame and regretted not being able to help. It was her negligence that allowed the hijacking to happen. “But there’s nothing you can do now. It’s late. Even the hijackers need to rest. They won’t do anything yet.” “It’s because the hijackers need to rest that we have to hurry and beat them to it. That’s the only way to solve this matter!” “But we’ve searched high and low and didn’t find anything. No one knows where they have gone. Even if they transported the passengers via buses, we didn’t see any tracks.” The agents discu
Kaze breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly went over to Miguel and pressed his hands with the gun down so that it would not misfire. “Good job.” “Thanks.” Miguel curled his lips into a nervous smile. He frequently trained in the gym and mixed martial arts but had never encountered any real-life incident before, thus being inexperienced. Fortunately, his mentality was stronger than the others and allowed him to act accordingly. “I’ll be taking the gun. This is self-defense, you won’t be charged and you won’t need to take responsibility,” Kaze said. Miguel’s pale face looked relieved. “What should we do now? Are there more of them?” Miguel dared not let go of the gun, worried there might be more enemies. “I’ve counted the numbers and this guy here should be the last one.” He then took the gun from Miguel’s hands. “Really? Gosh! That was crazy! I was so terrified!” Miguel finally loosened up and let his instinct take over. His heart was pounding so fast that it
Manson came over and saw the mercenaries lying in their own puddle of blood. The gore shocked him and made him sick. He tried his best to hold back the urge to throw up as it would attract attention. “Don’t look if you can’t take it! Don’t make things worse!” “Yeah! Professor! Grow a pair of balls!” “I have never seen dead bodies like this before!” he explained with a flush of embarrassment on his face. “Can we go out now and run away?” The hostages were eager to leave as things had settled down outside. They thought the danger was over. A dead mercenary was inside the container with them and they were still horrified. Once the others found out about this, the hostages would be shot to death. “If you want to die, be my guest. The moment you step out, you’ll be shot!” Callahan said as he looked at the others scornfully. One of the hostages had already put his hand on the handle of the door and was ready to dash out, but he quickly pulled his hand back after listening
