“No, this is impossible! Mr. Statham lost? I don’t believe it!” “How did the monkey defeat Mr. Statham?! This isn’t real!” Mr. Statham’s followers finally regained their composure after a while and started to voice their disbelief. They could not accept what they saw. The students and the coaches of the martial arts school cheered loudly. Even the students who were hostile against Kaze were impressed and viewed him as a hero. Cough! Mr. Statham struggled to get up on his feet. Bang! A powerful stomp landed on his chest, pinning him to the ground. Kaze stepped on Mr. Statham’s chest and peered down at him. “It’s not so difficult to defeat you. You disappoint me. Now that you have lost, I think it’s time for you to acknowledge that you are a piece of trash.” Kaze said the same thing to Mr. Statham. “No way!” Mr. Statham glared at Kaze viciously. He had never been humiliated like this before. Kaze smiled and then broke a few ribs with his foot. He did not hav
“I beat my way in here.” Kaze went over to the two of them, not wasting another second. Lennon and Theo were scared. They saw Mr. Statham defeated Dwight with just a few punches. If Kaze defeated Mr. Statham, how strong could he be? Knowing that Kaze was coming after them, Lennon bellowed, “Stop right there! We still have the girl!”’ Sophie was less than a meter behind them. However, if Kaze was deterred by how close Sophie was to the two of them, then he would not be called the God of War. Without showing any expression, Kaze strode up to Lennon and grabbed the man by the arm. Crack! Following a loud crack, Lennon cried like a dying pig and was immobilized instantly. Kaze then tossed him on the ground and turned his attention to Theo. “I’ll fuck you up!” Theo drew his dagger and jumped on Kaze ferociously. Slap! Kaze slapped Theo, disabling him and sending him flying before he could even get close. “D-Don’t kill me!” Looking at Kaze coming closer to him
“If you don’t want people to know what you have done, don’t do it,” Kaze said to the unconscious duo on the ground. He then called Don to inform him of the situation. “I have a situation here that needs your attention.” Soon enough, Don and his men arrived at the scene. They arrested Lennon and Theo but since they were hurt and unconscious, they were sent to the hospital first. “Sophie, you should go with them to give your statement.” Kaze tapped on Sophie’s shoulder and sent her away with one of the officers. He then called Don over to tell him about the situation. “I understand, Mr. Lee.” As they walked out, they saw Mr. Statham and his men, who were apprehended by the students and coaches of the martial arts school. Kaze said, “Don, I think you should talk to our foreign friends here. I don’t want them coming after me.” He was not scared of them at all, he just did not want the trouble. “Yes, Sir.” When Don went over, Mr. Statham and his men clamored and trie
The investment should be made on a specific project or multiple projects, yet Danny and his team did not even propose anything or show any documents. It was Jem who had the contracts drafted and was eager to have them signed. Many employees were skeptical. “Mr. Tart, hold on. Does Mr. Lee know about this?” asked an employee from the investment department. He asked not out of respect for Kaze but he was scared that Jem jeopardized their future since they, the employees, would have to bear the consequences as well if things went south. Jem valued his status and power, so when the employee questioned him, he was irritated. He grunted but he did not lash out at the employee. He said, “We are just going through the content of the contract. As for the signing session, we will have to wait for Mr. Lee’s order.” He intended to make Kaze take the blame, so of course, he would never leave out Kaze. “When will Mr. Lee be here?” The employee remained worried. He was a local Lilyr
“I see you learned about Sophie being in danger, Jem. I supposed you know a little too much?” Kaze shot a meaningful gaze at Jem and grinned, causing the man to shiver. For some reason, Jem had a bad feeling rising from his heart. Jem scoffed and chose to stay quiet. Since he had decided to confront Kaze, he was not afraid of Kaze finding out about the truth. “If you don’t believe what I said, then I guess you guys would have to see it for yourself.” Kaze shook his head and then handed his phone to Leslie. “Leslie, can you cast my phone to the screen?” Leslie frowned and said arrogantly, “Why should I take orders from you? You can’t even take care of your own assistant. Don’t you know she’s being someone else’s sex toy?” Slap! Kaze slapped the woman and said, “You should be grateful that Sophie is safe or else I will make you take her place.” He sounded calm and casual but it struck fear in Leslie. She glared at Kaze as she covered her face. Reluctantly, she took
Jem then pushed the pen to Kaze, signaling him to sign the contract. Kaze shot a glance at him and said loudly, “Are you the CEO or I am the CEO?” Since the secrets were already exposed, Jem no longer bothered to conceal his intention. “Of course it’s you, Mr. Lee. Otherwise, I wouldn’t ask for your signature.” He sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, and leaned back. He smiled and said, “I wonder what your decision is on Sophie’s case of embezzlement? Do you want to bring in the authorities or settle it under the table?” Kaze sat down and crossed his legs as well. He said to Jem, “I see you are quite the decisive person. Why don’t you tell me what I should do?” Jem scoffed. “It depends on whether you sign the contract or not. If you sign it, we can work things out; if you don’t sign it, we’ll bring in the authorities and take legal measures. “But do remember that the company’s chairwoman, Ms. Scarlet, is your wife’s bestie and she is the one who made you CEO. If this
Jem assumed that Kaze would rather send his assistant to prison than compromise on his decision. All the employees were there to witness it. No one would side with a superior who would abandon his subordinate at a critical moment. Therefore, no matter what decision Kaze made, Jem assumed that Kaze had lost. Jem would soon abdicate Kaze’s position and Kaze would eventually kowtow to him. ‘I was just being impatient and worrisome,’ Jem thought to himself. He then got up and shook Danny’s hand. “Mr. Tulip, let’s go have steak. I know a restaurant that is famous for its sirloin.” “I like steak,” Danny answered with a bold laugh. The two of them ignored Kaze and walked toward the exit together. Kaze was still on his chair. Unfazed, he said, “Did I say you guys can leave?” “Mr. Lee, you want to join us too?” Jem scoffed. Kaze said with a grin, “I am just giving you a friendly reminder, Mr. Tart. If you are lucky, you might have that steak in less than ten years.” “Wha
“You should repent your mistakes behind bars.” Kaze kicked Jem away and said to the officer, “Other than the obvious ones, try to investigate if he is involved in other criminal activities. Hudson Investment Firm will fully cooperate with your investigation. We will not tolerate anyone who harms the company.” Jem turned upon hearing Kaze. He collapsed on the floor like a deflated balloon, his eyes looked void of life. He knew his career and life were over. He hated himself for being overconfident. He did not need to be personally involved. He thought he had the situation under control, so he did not prepare any backup plan for himself. Now that Kaze had taken care of Lennon and Theo, he called the cops and they exposed Jem of his involvement. It was too late for him to regret now. Jem was cuffed and taken away. The employees of Hudson Investment Firm sighed as Jem was taken away, and they were all impressed by Kaze's handling of the situation. “Now that Jem Tart has bee
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
