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
“Darcy, it’s not that Master Hudson didn’t keep his promise. It’s just that no one knows what would happen to the victims of the Twin Ghosts.” “You know Dan Niners and Gold Tooth, right? I watched when the Twin Ghosts broke all their bones. Hahaha!” Darcy’s face turned pale as she continued to listen. ‘Kaze, please be alright!’ She prayed hard in her heart. She was prepared to see Kaze lose all his limbs or even be crippled like Dan or Gold Tooth. All she hoped for was that he would stay alive. The group finally reached the fifth floor. When they arrived at the room, they saw Zenny, unconscious in his own puddle of blood. “This guy is hurt too? It seems like a fight broke out here. Stupid idiot.” Dexter and the others were surprised to see Zenny hurt and unconscious but were not overly bothered. Kaze obviously challenged the Twin Ghosts and they assumed he would not end well. “There are two bodies on the floor! It must be Kaze and the driver he brought!” Jake had
“Miru Scarlet! How dare you! Not even your godfather dares to disrespect me!” Hudson shouted angrily. Miru quickly snatched the contracts from his hand and tore them to pieces. She scoffed. “The Twin Ghosts are two piles of dead meat now and you are still raising your voice? Others are afraid of the Vinland family, but not me! I’ll get my men here and fuck you up!” She pulled her phone out. Dexter, Jake, and the others were horrified upon hearing Miru. “Master Hudson, we must leave now! We can’t stay here in Lilyrose anymore!” “We’ll get her in the future!” Hudson was frightened as well. He feigned reluctance as the others dragged him downstairs. Soon, the cars at the entrance drove off. “That old dog is good at running.” Miru put her phone down and scoffed. She was just trying to scare off Hudson. Hudson was a Vinland. If she called her men on him and hurt him, it would mean declaring war with the Vinland family. “Strange. Who beat up the Twin Ghosts? Kaze? Doesn
As they arrived, they saw a dozen expensive cars parked outside. The customer base was relatively stable as the establishment was targeted at the upper class. The people lining up at the club were young men and women of ordinary background. All were allowed inside Absolute Zero with an entrance fee. Since this would be a chance for ordinary people to meet and interact with the upper-class elites, they cherished it and tried their best to look good. Even movie producers and scriptwriters came to the club, seeking investments or a role in movie production. It was a shortcut to reach out to the upper crust after all. Yet they were just a bunch of fresh graduates with no resources and connections, so the club was their only chance at achieving something great. Dwight would never understand how rare the opportunity was, as he was narrow-sighted. He had never experienced power and wealth before, so he lacked the understanding of how things worked in society. “I never thought
With that in mind, Dwight checked his outfit. His black leather jacket brought out his height and wild side. He then observed Kaze. The latter was dressed casually. Dwight was worried that they would not be allowed into Absolute Zero because of their attire. Nevertheless, he could not let slip that he had never been to Absolute Zero. Without a word, Dwight led Kaze down the apartment building. Kaze could pick up on Dwight’s nerves. While in the elevator, Dwight could not stop straightening out his clothes. It was clear that he was nervous. Even so, Kaze said nothing and pretended not to notice. They got into the car and drove to an alley. The area was not huge, but there were stands selling street food. “The food is great here. Since it’s early, we can grab a bite.” Dwight was not being tight with money. As their destination was a bar, there was no need to get a proper meal. “I’ll get a skewer then.” Kaze did not have much of an appetite anyway. “Okay. I’ll or
“You’re the guest. I should be hosting you, but I don’t seem to be doing a good job.” Dwight knew he had to do better. “It’s okay. I don’t have much to do. It’s just a delivery anyway.” Kaze bought a lot of stuff online. All they had to do was wait for the delivery. Once the items arrived, they could head out. Dwight talked about taking him to a bar under the Viper’s Den’s umbrella. It was a great opportunity for Kaze to check out the scene. He had heard that the Wittersons were tied to all the Viper’s Den’s business operations.Kaze would not meet Edmund and Morris in person, but he would grasp all information related to them. Then, Kaze would stir things up between them and sit back while reaping the benefits. Kaze had it all planned out. He simply had to take his time in playing the long game. Nevertheless, it was important for him to remain discreet. At the very least, he should not show them what he was made of. It was easy to execute his plan when everybody
Kaze rose to his feet and took something out of his bag. Putting on his jacket, he was on his way out. Dwight was out of his room, too. He left his room for a glass of water and waited for Kaze to get out of the room after his nap. Dwight had a drink in the kitchen. He took an apple and chomped on it. Looking at the fruit on the table, Dwight grabbed a plate to arrange it neatly.He took out his phone to pass the time while waiting for Kaze. Kaze emerged from the room and saw Dwight. “You’re up at last. You’ve slept half the day away. Are you still tired? I can wait if you need to catch some sleep.” Dwight kept Herman’s memo to look after Kaze. “A little. I didn’t get any sleep last night. I was waiting to get on the plane.” Kaze took the red-eye flight yesterday. Dwight allowed time for Kaze to rest, knowing his travel schedule. “I know. Did you manage to get some good sleep? If you haven’t, you can go back to bed. I can grab some food for you.” Dwight’s plan
“Your main responsibility is to entertain Kaze. You will be rewarded for good work,” Herman said. Dwight nodded incessantly. “Thank you for thinking of me, Herman. I won’t forget this.” “I’d be grateful so long as you stay out of trouble. “Just focus on what you should do and take good care of Kaze.” Herman worried that Dwight might get ahead of himself and forget his primary duties. Dwight’s priority was Kaze’s well-being. The whole thing would be over if Dwight kept to himself and served Kaze until he was gone. There would be a problem if something were to happen. Without Edmund’s instructions, Herman would never have assigned a job to Dwight. It could be a good thing, though. At least, a job might keep him on the straight and narrow. “Relax. You can count on me,” Dwight said with glee.That was a nice surprise. Dwight did not see it coming. It was just incredible. Herman still could not shake off his worry. However, he had said his piece. It was pointless t
Herman’s smile vanished. His red, irritated skin was playing up. Due to alcohol in his system, Herman could not see straight. He had to grit his teeth to hold back the urge to retch. Herman was not one to drink. Yet, he would have to go through Edmund’s loyalty test every time, and he was reaching a boiling point. However, he understood that he needed to suck it up to gain Edmund’s trust. “You must be Herman. Mr. Witterson. Should I take the things to your car, or should I deliver them to your home?” asked a uniformed server who approached. “Put them in the car and get me a designated driver,” Herman replied. He headed to the lobby while propping himself against the wall. “Okay. There will be a driver out front, ready for your service.” The server tried to help Herman up, but was declined. Herman saw the cartons of alcohol and cigarettes in the lobby. Edmund had always been generous in giving out stuff like this. “These are from Mr. Witterson. You’re lucky to work for
“Kaze can pull the punches for sure. I mean, he has the Butterworth branch chief’s trust for a reason. “There has to be something for him to win the branch chief’s approval.” Edmund doubted there was depth to Kaze. After all, Edmund decided whether to take on a person based on their abilities. It made no sense to pay attention to losers, as he would hold them in contempt. Edmund had been impressed with Herman, who excelled in strategies and management. That was why Edmund bumped Herman up and made sure he stayed on top. “Got it.” Herman nodded and had one foot out the door. “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. There’s one more thing.” Edmund pointed at the table. Herman approached and stood on bent knees. Pleased with Herman’s submission, Edmund passed him a wine glass. Herman took the drink humbly before looking carefully at Edmund, awaiting his orders. “The wine was just airlifted from abroad. I can vouch for the taste. If you’re looking to sip on the finest, yo
Time went by, and a towering man in a suit showed up outside the door. Picking up on the noise inside the room, he knocked on the door. It was hard to tell whether the person inside could hear the knocking, so the man waited outside. The door was opened, and a woman, her face flawless with makeup, popped her head out and saw him. She cocked her head back at Edmund. “You have a guest, Mr. Witterson.” “Let him in,” Edmund instructed. He then leaned in to take the drink from the girl next to him with his mouth. The other girls cheered him on. The group was lost in their fun. The man, who entered the room, stood by the sofa respectfully. He kept his head down, his gaze staying low at the bottles of alcohol spread across the table. It was a bit of a wait before the man approached at Edmund’s order. “Tell me about Dwight.”While listening to the girls’ singing, Edmund turned to Herman. Herman rushed over as soon as Edmund called. He won a lot of money at poker toda
In this particular circumstance, Morris had to play it safe so that things would not get out of hand. The last thing he wanted was to be dragged into the mess. At least, he finally saw the Wittersons’ true colors. Morris’ friendly advice was met with disrespect and insult. However, the Wittersons were a force of nature, and Morris was not about to take them head-on. Despite his frustration, Morris had to walk away. Well, Edmund would soon face his downfall at the height of his power, and Morris would be there to enjoy the ride. Still, it did not sit well with Morris to have a young fella walk all over him. It had crossed his mind to keep the Wittersons in check, but there was only so much he could do. Morris had to be the one to back away as the Wittersons grew haughty. Morris believed there was more to Kaze’s visit to Westeros. Nothing major happened in Westeros recently. At least, there was nothing worth the other branch’s attention. However, a representative of the
