“Chief Commander Draco Lang?!” Dan finally recognized Draco and his legs turned weak. Draco’s identity was more shocking than the fact that he single-handedly defeated six ferocious men. The chief commander was a renowned figure who fought at the borders! One word from him and Dan could die ten thousand times over! Dan then stiffly turned his head to Kaze. He clearly remembered Kaze calling Draco his best general. Kaze’s true identity became obvious from that point. Thump! Dan collapsed under pressure and fell to his knees. He prostrated in fear as he said, “God of War! I was wrong! I shouldn’t have disrespected you! I should be punished!” He kowtowed repeatedly. The God of War’s authority was unchallenged and it could kill Dan like a dog. Dan knew he might die on the spot. If the God of War was merciless, the disrespect alone was enough for him to wipe out Dan’s entire family. “So, are you willing to come work at the construction site?” Kaze asked. Dan look
After Miru left the construction site, she went back to Lefteria Group to get some hitmen and headed to La Familia Club. The slap on Dan was indeed revenge but her priority was to help Darcy settle the problem. “Madame Miru, I dared not cause trouble at Ms. Quint’s construction site anymore. I won’t…” Dan kowtowed as he begged for forgiveness. Darcy was the God of War’s wife. “That’s more like it. Let’s go.” Miru grunted and wanted to bring her men away. Kaze then said, “Dan, bring your men along and start working at the site.” He did not want to waste all the free manpower. “Kaze, you really know how to seize the moment. If I didn’t come here with my men, would you still have the nerve to ask Dan Niners to work at the site?” Miru sneered. She had never liked Kaze and after what happened, she looked down on him even more. She turned to Dan and said, “It’s a good idea. Bring your men to Passion Fragrance District construction site and work for a month!” With a gang
“Darcy, how dare you ignore grandfather’s order? Do you still regard him as your grandfather?” “I think she doesn’t want to apologize to Dan Niners and simply wanted to drag us all down! She wants us all dead! Fire her immediately!” Samus and Deborah fanned the flames, further pressuring Darcy on her mistake. They had been holding their anger back for two days now. Ever since their father, Rudy, was dismissed, Darcy took charge of Passion Fragrance District. The whole company thought Rudy and his family were losing power and Darcy would eventually rise to the top. Therefore, no one took them seriously anymore. The executives who used to flatter them for benefits avoided them like the plague now. The feeling of losing power was terrible. They wanted Darcy out of Quintessential Group and regain control over the company. However, they could not locate Jean, Rudy’s ex-secretary, anywhere and the Hanser family could not do anything either. No matter how aggrieved Samus and D
“Mr. Niners, we’ll send back the fifty men working at our site. It was Tiger Fangs who sent them here, we had nothing to do with this!” Tiger Fangs helped Quintessential Group yet Master Quint showed no appreciation for that. He even criticized the Tiger Fangs for their intervention and forced Dan’s men to work for free at the construction site. Dan sounded even more polite when he found out that it was Master Quint he was talking to. “Master Quint, we are really here to work. Just let us in. Me and my men deserved this. The Tiger Fangs are right to reeducate us through labor work.” The Quints were more afraid than ever when they heard Dan. To them, Dan was speaking sarcastically. Samus went up to Dan and said with a trembling voice, “Mr. Niners! Darcy is in charge of the site. She agreed for your men to work here, we had nothing to do with this.” Nothing to do with this? Dan was slightly surprised. It seemed like the God of War’s wife was not too close with her extende
Dan got up and stared at Samus. “Get this little shit out of here! How dare he threaten Ms. Quint!” Samus was thrown out of the construction site despite his begging and crying. Master Quint and the others were shocked as well. They were afraid that Dan would toss them out, so they quickly left the scene. Dan led two hundred of his men into the site. Together with Manny and his men who had started working, almost three hundred gangsters were working there. Darcy did not know whether to be afraid or laugh at the scene. What gave Miru the idea to make Dan and his men work at the construction site for free? If the news got out, people would think Darcy was a mob boss. Inside a VIP ward at Lilyrose Prime Hospital, Henry was still bedridden. “Dad, am I a eunuch now? Does it mean I can’t fuck women for the rest of my life?!” Henry stared blankly at the ceiling and spoke lifelessly. He did not move for three days after he realized he lost his penis. Roger felt terrib
Roger looked at Kelly coldly. The reason he allowed Kelly to live was because Henry had sex with her before he was castrated. If Kelly got impregnated, then Roger would allow her to live until she gave birth to the child. If not, she would have two more months to live. Therefore, Roger recruited her to the new Construction and Material Society and made her the new chief secretary. Kelly was living the life of her dreams. If she could bear Henry’s seed, then she would become the daughter-in-law of the Hilfingers and strengthen her position in the family.Little did she know, she was already dead in Roger’s eyes. “What is it?” Roger put the vicious gaze away and asked in a normal expression. “Mr. Chairman, Dan Niners turned on us. I just got the news that he and his men are working at Darcy’s construction site!” Kelly said with a hint of disappointment on her face. She wanted Darcy and Kaze to suffer but even a gangster boss like Dan would submit to them. Roger was i
“Sir, I am still investigating James White’s death, but I found out that the Lee and Hilfinger families were behind his expulsion from university…” Kaze remembered James’ expulsion like it was yesterday. James was on the verge of graduating with his degree course but then someone accused him of plagiarism and got expelled from the university. He was aspiring to be a scientist and the incident ruined his future. It put him in a slum for quite a long time. Kaze knew James’ character well enough to know that he would never plagiarize. Someone must have framed him, so he planned to help his friend. However, James was afraid of confronting the university about the incident and he told Kaze to stay out of it. Before Kaze knew it, James had gone south to start a new career. Snow informed Kaze that the one who reported James to the university was a student named Jessica Summer. She had a group of friends as witnesses as well and they were Haiden Ludgram, Wayne Gerome, Zack Centau
“Yes!” Rudy nodded. “Perfect World Group can’t do anything about it. I think the Construction and Material Society is making a comeback! “Now that the news of Darcy refusing to buy from the society and Dan Niners and his men working at our construction site has gotten out, the society would probably be embarrassed. This meeting would probably make us the common target.” Everyone in the family panicked. All the other families agreed to the Construction and Material Society’s terms except for the Quint family. Darcy was the person in charge of Passion Fragrance District and she was still trying to resist. If they attended the meeting tomorrow, Roger would definitely make an example out of them. “Father, we can’t escape from this anymore. If we don’t attend, Roger Hilfinger will have an excuse to target us. The problem is who shall attend the meeting.” Rudy then shot a gaze at his son, Samus. Samus said, “Grandfather, our family is not going. You should send the one who is
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
