“Dad, I know I was wrong.” Clemont dropped to his knees without defiance, his head hung low in shame. “Oh? What exactly is your mistake?” Morris said indifferently while taking a seat on the sofa. Although he was angry, he kept it from showing on his face because he was curious whether Clemont really acknowledged his wrongdoing. Clemont was lost for words. It started because he could not stand Clarice. She and Kaze were the reasons he was insulted, and that was why he tried to get back at them. Yet, not even a professional hitman could take Kaze on.Clemont would not stand by Kaze threatening him despite knowing who he was. In fact, he saw no reason to take orders from Kaze. Driven by rage, Clemont knew he had to get even with Kaze. However, everything backfired on him. Clemont, under the influence of drugs, did the most ridiculous thing. He still had no idea what had happened yesterday. Only the shame lingered. Worst of all, Morris found out about the incident and sough

“Did you make breakfast?” Clarice was in disbelief. Was there anything Kaze could not do?“I picked up cooking growing up. I’d be stuck eating terrible food unless I cooked.” Kaze was amused by Clarice’s shock. The girl came from privilege. Though she did not have a great childhood, his uncle cared for her well. Of course, she would not understand why Kaze could cook. “But you’re great at fighting and everything else. I didn’t think cooking would be one of many skills.” Clarice knew a lot of people, but only a few could cook. Most wealthy families would not encourage the men to cook. Besides, her friends were well-educated and well-mannered, but none of them paused to take up cooking. That was why Clarice was surprised by Kaze’s cooking. “Here. Try the food.’ Kaze, thinking nothing of the matter, placed a plate of omelet in front of Clarice. “You caught a cold last night. You need to have breakfast and take your pills to get better,” Kaze said. He had arranged for th

Clarice found great support in Edmund since her father was not the most reliable person. However, her father had the power to decide who Clarice would have to marry. That was the dynamic of Clarice’s relationship with her father. Though things were complicated, they held leverage over each other. Despite picking up on the intimidation in Miles’ tone, Kaze played dumb. At times, hostility was not necessary in the pursuit of revenge. The point was to hurt the enemy when the moment was right. It was best not to express any animosity before the attack, as the enemy would become ready to avoid any direct hits. Understanding those principles, Kaze behaved normally. “I understand. If you’re not in a hurry, can you wait outside?” Kaze said tenderly and gave them a time. “We can do that. We’ll wait for you in the lobby. There are no other exits, so don’t keep us waiting too long,” Miles uttered. Miles and his crew had checked for escape routes to ensure Kaze would not get away.

It was the last thing Edmund expected. He even mocked the Siegfrieds for their poor family values, having raised a child like Clemont. However, as it turned out, Clarice was part of the story. Clemont had been trying to set up Edmund’s niece all along. Without Kaze’s witty help, Clarice would have been in a terrible situation last night. Even if Edmund assigned the Viper’s Den security detail to Clarice, they might not be able to keep Clarice safe. Edmund was relieved to have hired Kaze. It was a wise decision. “Say something, Uncle Edmund. I just need you to say the word. You’re in or out? These people are pushing too far.” Clarice was going to drop the whole thing. However, now that Morris was out to get Kaze, Clarice could not sit by and do nothing. She had to light a fire under her uncle’s ass. Edmund, on the other hand, was hesitant. Kaze belonged to the Butterworth branch, so there was no telling who he was working for. In fact, it was unclear whether Kaze would be of u

“When can we go?” Clarice could not wait. Observing her acting rather out of character, Edmund said, “I know how you feel about him, but you’re different now. You’re always blasé about everything. Since when do you get anxious?” He grew curious about the progress of Clarice’s relationship with Kaze. “Which doctor saw you last night?” Edmund was worried that Clarice and Kaze would go straight to become partners in bed. Sure, intimacy was common nowadays. However, Edmund did not wish for his niece to be in a vulnerable position. “Kaze got the doctor. He said the in-house doctor from the branch.” Clarice blushed shyly. “Kaze is a great guy. He didn’t take advantage of me. He always put me first. He sought vengeance for me.” Clarice was thrilled. Though fear gripped Clarice when looking back at the horrifying experience, Kaze’s presence soothed her. Edmund was shocked to see Kaze’s integrity shining through. He understood that Kaze meant a lot to Clarice, seeing that she had
