Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 4831 - Bab 4840

“Why are you doing this? Let’s just talk about it,” Kaze said, trying to calm Lyra down. There was no need for them to fight or go to such extreme measures. Moreover, they had a ticking time bomb in front of them. He must be careful not to trigger her. “Talk? Of course, we can talk, but you will have to tell me who the Westeros branch leader is. He’s been toying with me, and I want to know who he really is. How can he see through my plan so easily?” Lyra said as she glared at Kaze resentfully. If not for her failures, she might not be in this situation. She was still the young branch leader of the North State, commanding power and immense wealth. Yet, she lost everything she owned. Most of her men were dead, and the rest were missing. Even her partners were all defeated. She could not accept that she had been left alone. She refused to watch everything she had vanish, to face the darkest days of her life.Meanwhile, Kaze was stalling for time, waiting for Edmund and his men

Lyra refused to accept defeat or die here, but she wanted to use the chance to turn the tide around. Her men were useless. None of them was able to get a hold of Kaze. Instead, they were killed in the process, leaving her completely alone. If she had a chance to do it over, she would find more capable men to serve her. She might not know who Kaze really was, but she acknowledged his strength. If he could serve her, she would be unstoppable. “Who says you don’t have a choice? You have a lot of choices.” Lyra smiled, looking confident. She had not activated the bomb on her yet, but once it detonated, the entire building would be demolished. She held the black remote control tightly in her hand, preventing anyone from getting close. Her finger was just millimeters away from the trigger. That was her protection but also her greatest threat.“What do you mean? What choices do I have?” Kaze asked, feigning ignorance. “You have a choice. If my plan worked, I would be in command o

Kaze did not want to waste any more time. He felt the matter was already settled, and that Lyra had seen him before she took her last breath, so at least she would not die with regrets. Her death was not unjust, and her loss was not undeserved. If anyone was to blame, her pride was the reason why she looked down on people, and her arrogance was what made her careless. “You tricked me, and I never even suspected you once,” she muttered as she glared at Kaze. She did not want to lose or give up. “You started it. I have nothing to do with it,” Kaze replied, still cold and unbothered.He did not want to explain himself; there was no point. For a moment, Lyra laughed hysterically. She coughed, and blood bubbled from her mouth. Kaze could not bear to watch her anymore. Lyra was a beautiful woman, but she was what they called a femme fatale. Now, she lay on the cold concrete, sinking into a pool of blood. There was a tragic, almost poetic look to it that made people uneasy. Kaz

“It’s diffused. There’s no need to worry anymore,” Kaze called out to Edmund and the others in the distance. Hearing the commotion, Edmund ran over to Kaze. When he saw that the time stopped at the very last second, he immediately ordered his men to disarm it and get rid of it as quickly as possible. With Edmund’s help, Kaze got up on his feet. Not far away, he caught sight of Darcy. A small, relieved smile appeared on his face. Some things did not need words. Just one look was enough for them to understand each other.When he walked over to her, he saw a smile on her face as well, but it looked stiff. She also looked rather pale and sickly.His heart sank. Something was wrong. He rushed forward in time to catch her before she collapsed. Darcy looked at him weakly; her eyes could barely open. Panic shot through Kaze. He did not know what had happened to her. She was fine a while ago. Why had she suddenly collapsed?“Darcy? Hey, look at me! Are you okay?” As he spoke, he c

“We’re just curious since we’ve never seen him in person before. Since this hospital is under the Viper’s Den, it’s only normal for us to greet him,” said Director Verstappen. He sounded earnest and made his position clear. He did not mean anything else—just that he wanted to visit. “That I can’t decide,” Ryan repliedHe cast a glance at the closed door behind him. He knew Kaze would not want to see any of them. “Why don’t we step aside and talk?” Ryan suggested firmly. “The branch leader is here to visit a friend, and he doesn’t want to be disturbed.” He looked at the doctors, determined to keep them from disrupting the patient inside, and even more determined not to allow any noise or commotion. Director Verstappen hesitated for a moment, but he eventually nodded and walked to the side with Ryan. “Ryan, be honest with me. What is the branch leader doing here? He isn’t hurt, is he? Should I send someone to check on him?” he asked. He was afraid he had failed his duty to
