Magnus was familiar with the voice, yet even with his status and position, he had only heard it a few times. The voice made a strong impression on him from the first time he heard it; it was seared into his soul. He could never forget the voice. Magnus’ mind went blank all of a sudden. He stiffly looked at Kaze, unable to believe what just happened. How did Kaze get this person’s number? Why would this person answer Kaze’s call? Ignoring Magnus’ inconceivable gaze, Kaze spoke into the phone, “It’s me, Kaze Lee.” “Kaze Lee?” The woman’s voice on the line sounded frosty, somewhat angry. It was as though she did not know who Kaze was and was annoyed by the anonymous phone call. Kaze smiled and explained, “Viper Queen, you must be too busy lately. I just received a huge gift from one of your people.” He was referring to the woman who gave him the Dallas Black Card after winning the auction. “It was you?” The woman paused for a moment before she asked, “I wonder if

Kaze spoke strongly, his voice echoed across the hall. Everyone in the hall, including Magnus on his knees, widened their eyes. They did not hear what the Viper Queen said but they heard Kaze clearly. No one thought Kaze would berate the Viper Queen and diminish the Viper’s Den. He even wanted the Viper’s Den to dissolve itself. If the news got out, all thirty-five branches of the Viper’s Den would view Kaze as the common enemy and they would certainly come after his life. “God of War, what really happened? If it’s really the Viper’s Den's fault, I will make sure you get your explanation,” the Viper Queen asked calmly after a slight pause. Kaze said, “I believe you already knew what happened today. I don’t want to go into details but now, your West State Branch Leader, Magnus Fuller, had his agents surround me and wanted to kill me, before going after my family, and my assets. “I was planning to kill him but since you already knew about this, I called to ask. Does Magnus

Kaze wiped his hand with the tissue and smiled at Magnus. “Never thought I knew the Viper Queen, right? I called her to put you in your place, you must feel indignant now, am I right?” “No, I dare not!” Magnus lowered his head, afraid to reveal his hatred and grievance toward Kaze. A wise man knew where he stood based on the circumstances. Losing the battle did not mean he would lose the war. Only those who prevailed would win in the end. After today, he would do anything necessary to take revenge on Kaze. He swore to return the insults he received a hundredfold. That was what he said to himself as he conceded the battle. “Look at me,” Kaze said. Magnus concealed the hatred in his eyes and looked at Kaze pitifully. Kaze stared into his eyes and said, “Branch Leader Fuller, you are quite the character, able to adapt to circumstances. You might have hidden it well but I still spotted the deep-seated hatred in your eyes.” “No, I dare not hate you, Mr. Lee!” Magnus sa

“We can’t be sure if it was him.” The young woman knew that Autumn was talking about Kaze. She said, “Kaze let Magnus go after incapacitating him. “A sniper killed Magnus’ driver when he was on his way to Lilyrose airport. The car lost control and caused a big pile-up on the highway.“By the time Magnus’ men got him out of the car, Magnus was long gone.” “The local police force determined through the bullet trajectory that the sniper stayed high a mile and a half away. So far there are no leads.” Autumn said with a straight face, “That’s quite a precision for a sniper to shoot a moving target a mile and a half away. The enemy knows a lot about Magnus. The distance wouldn’t have put him on high alert. “The world-class sniper can be military trained.” The young woman was taken aback, “Are you saying that Albert got rid of Magnus for Kaze?” Autumn shook her head. “You don’t understand that guy in Lilyrose. If he wanted to kill Magnus, he would have killed him there and then

“Alright then. Go back and tell Autumn that I’ll lead the West State branch for now.” Kaze could not watch as the five strongest nations stirred up trouble in Arcadia. The Viper Queen sure knew him like the back of her hand. Relieved, Scarlet excused herself and left the mayor’s office in Lilyrose. Kaze summoned Caleb and asked, “Does Don have any progress on Gareth’s case?” “Nothing so far.” Caleb said with a wry smile, “The perpetrator covered their tracks well. With Magnus dead too, the police are feeling the strain.” “I have their backs. Just tell Don to keep digging.” Kaze waved his arm. He got up and left the office. “Are you Kaze?” Kaze walked out of the mayor’s office, only to be surrounded by a group. The group, who were dressed in black, looked callous. When Sirius brought his team to block anyone from leaving the mayor’s office, Kaze sliced off the arm of each individual. Kaze did not expect them to lay another siege. He sized up the unwelcome g
