Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 1631 - Bab 1640

Even though Sirius could claim ten billion from Kaze and his assets, he could not fork out that much money to get the Nether Viper Sword. Frustrated, he sat down and stared at the woman, saying, “Ten billion? Fine, the sword is yours. But do you even have that much money?” The woman did not care about Sirius’ sarcastic remark. She shot a frosty glance at him and said, “Shut up. Don’t speak if you are poor, you useless trash! The Nether Viper Sword is the sacred weapon of the Viper’s Den. Is ten billion really that much?” The moment Sol, Ruth, and the others heard the woman, they almost burst out in laughter. Sirius flushed, drowning in his own embarrassment and frustration. As a member of the Glitters, he was called useless trash by a nameless woman in public! Kaze did not laugh at him. He focused on the woman instead as thoughts ran through his mind. “Ten billion once.” “Ten billion twice.” “Sold! To the lady in the back!” Following the smack of the mallet, the Net

The woman put the Nether Viper Sword away and said, “Fool. A gun is not the most lethal within a short distance. Your gun is meaningless in front of a true expert.” After berating Sirius, the woman shot a meaningful glance at Kaze before she left. Sirius stared at the exit blankly, speechless. Kaze curled his lips into a meaningful grin. It was an interesting exchange. The woman was not mocking Sirius. It would seem more appropriate that she was lecturing him. Kaze had an extra glance at Sirius, whose face was gloomy. He wondered if the fool could grasp the wisdom. After the woman left, all the guests in the auction hall regained their senses. What happened in that brief moment overwhelmed them. Sirius also slowly regained his composure and his mind cleared up. He wiped the blood off his forehead and then looked at Kaze coldly. “Mr. Lee, I don’t care what master she serves, you are going to die today!” The mysterious woman might have shocked everyone at the auct

“Chief Commander Hiden, without the uniform, you are just a common citizen. I, as the branch leader of Viper’s Den, do not need a warrant to arrest suspects or criminals. “You hit someone in the open and you question my authority to arrest you?” Albert scoffed. “Even without my uniform, or my title, you and your little den can’t arrest me!” “Young man, don’t speak too soon.” Magnus clasped his hand behind his back and shook his head. He said with a smile, “I know you come from a reputable noble family, the Harrowdale Hidens, whose history dates back a thousand years. “You are what they call a noble. Young masters from other wealthy families are like kids to you. Common authorities might not have the nerve to arrest you because of your privileged background.“But have you heard? Even the king must be punished according to the law when he commits a crime. Others might not dare to arrest you, but not the Viper’s Den!” The king would be punished according to the law when he co

Albert’s eyes burned with rage. “Trivial?” To him, protecting Kaze was not just his duty, it was his priority. If not for Kaze, his instructor who guided him on the battlefield and allowed him to seize all the war achievements, his family’s resources alone would not have been enough to make him the chief commander at such a young age. Yet Master Agar made it sound like something unimportant. Though he knew Master Agar served the madam, which also meant his words reflected the madam’s will. “Is it not?” Master Agar asked righteously. Losing his patience, Albert stepped forward and bellowed, “Go back and tell her…” “Albert!” Finally, Kaze intervened by calling Albert, stopping him. “You can leave now. Go back to the strategic department.” Kaze could tell that the madam that Master Agar referred to had absolute power in the Hiden family. Kaze did not want Albert to oppose the madam because of him, and he did not want Albert’s family to punish him either. “But I…”

Magnus’ eyes were burning with anger. He had never hated a person this much. It was not his first time meeting an arrogant young man; Albert was a great example. However, Albert was from a prestigious family, so his background justified his arrogance. What about Kaze? He was a useless guy who took his wife’s family name. Yet Kaze had the nerve to talk to Magnus like they were equals, bluffing without considering the consequences. What a fool! Kaze was unfazed by Magnus’ growls. He clasped his hands behind his back and said, “If you don’t want to reason with words, then skip the chatters. Let’s talk with our fists. Are you going to fight me one-on-one or with your team of vipers?” Kaze started to roll his sleeves. “Uh…” Magnus was left speechless. His words were stuck in his throat. Sirius bellowed, “Branch Leader, do it! Kaze Lee is not just challenging you, he’s challenging the entire Viper’s Den. He disregarded our authority, disregarded the law—even if you ki
