Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 4861 - Bab 4870

Darcy looked at her mother with disappointment and shook her head helplessly. She glanced at the door guiltily, realizing that she should not have dragged Kaze into this, much less cause him trouble.Seeing the look on Darcy’s face, Kaze turned to the doctors and nurses standing by the door.“There’s nothing for you here. You can go,” he said casually.The doctors and nurses had been eager to leave and were just waiting for an excuse. Therefore, with that, they all hurried away.Agnes did not expect Kaze’s words to carry such weight. It only confirmed what the nurse had said earlier.Someone she had always dismissed as a nobody turned out to be a big shot, and one who was so close to them. Most importantly, his relationship with her daughter was far more intimate than she had imagined. She should not have disturbed them.“I told you to calm down. I would’ve explained it all to you. Why must you be so unreasonable?”Darcy looked at her mother, feeling a headache coming on. She di

“Yeah, we’ve been waiting for so long, but no one has come to explain the situation to us. How much longer do we have to wait before we can see the Viper Queen?”The others spoke up, their voices impatient.Now that they knew Nevin’s identity and also his background, they were naturally wary of him.“I just arrived and haven’t seen the Viper Queen either, so I have no answers to your questions.” Nevin sat down, looking arrogant. He clearly thought himself different from the others.The others thought he would bring news. However, when they learned that he was also in the dark, they were displeased. Some of them even ignored him.Nevin noticed their change but did not take it to heart. Instead, he revealed a mocking smile.The branch leaders may seem uninformed, but they had gathered news behind the scenes. At least, they knew something of each other’s identities.Kaze, having just arrived at the Midstate branch of Viper’s Den, walked into the scene as soon as he entered the lo

“Maybe the Viper Queen really is gravely ill. That’s why all these arrangements are necessary. Or maybe they’re just being cautious in case something happens,” someone said naively.However, the truth was that anyone in their position was far from ordinary. Even without weapons, they were not defenseless. They could protect themselves if things went wrong. That was why they were willing to comply.As they passed the checkpoint, they all handed over their weapons, sealed them up, and left them behind. Hence, when they walked through the scanners, no alarms went off, drawing no one’s attention.Kaze, however, was different. He did not produce anything. Instead, he joined the queue, watching as the others pulled out their weapons without the slightest reaction.“You really are funny. Why bother hiding in a situation like this? It’s better to hand them over. Otherwise, it’ll be humiliating when you set off the alarm later,” Nevin, who believed Kaze was deliberately making trouble, coul

“I don’t know about the kind of influence you have in the West State, but I’ll be straight with you. If you don’t seek allies, you’ll be in for a rough time,” Christian said eagerly. Typically, that revelation would throw anyone into a sense of urgency and panic. Kaze needed to work with Christian right away. “I don’t understand.” Kaze played dumb as if he were oblivious to the situation. “That’s beside the point. If you want to live and not get caught in the middle, you should form an alliance. I’m happy to offer you a spot on my team. Why don’t you join us?” With his patience running thin, Christian spoke desperately. “But once the Viper Queen finds out, we will be punished. I just got promoted. I don’t want to cause any trouble.” Kaze let out a look of resignation. He wanted to keep his distance and not be part of their schemes. Of course, Kaze knew exactly what Christian was up to. Christian would have approached Kaze sooner if an alliance had been the intention

Kaze was not naïve enough to think that the woman was interested in him. In fact, he suspected that she must be someone important. Nevertheless, Kaze stayed still and acted as if he had not noticed anything. Kaze’s glass was empty. Since he had been at the event for a while, he had drunk quite a bit. Still, his mind was clear. Others would assume that Kaze was intoxicated from the amount of drinking. However, Kaze understood that he was not a lightweight. “Do you need a refill, sir? I can bring you another glass.” A gentle voice crept up from behind Kaze, and he looked up. “I’m fine. I’ve had a bit too much to drink. Can I set this glass down on the tray?” Kaze said with a straight face and handed over his glass. Autumn was pleased with her disguise. She loved to play the vulnerable while closing in on her target and got a thrill when people fell for her disguise. “Why don’t you talk to your friends? It’s a bit sad to see you alone here,” Autumn said while taking the
