The hall with two thousand people was dead silent. However, in places that the ears could not hear, people’s hearts were pounding rapidly. They breathed heavily and some even forgot to breathe. Shocking! Astonishing! Unbelievable! Not a single word or all of them combined could describe their feelings. The abandoned son of the Lee family, the son-in-law of the Quint family, the retard who had been locked up in the psychiatric ward for five years, the trash that everyone looked down on, was the main commander of the anti-riot operation?! The mayor, the brigadier generals, and the chief of police all listened to his command. Then, under everyone’s blank gaze, Kaze, who had been sitting for a while, finally got up. He looked at Roger, whose face had turned pale and his eyes had turned blank. He smiled and said, “Roger Hilfinger, what do you think of this?” Roger asked him a similar question when he was on stage. Now, Kaze wanted to return the favor. Roger’s expressio
“Kaze, I was wrong. I shouldn’t oppose you! Please let me go, please spare my family…” Roger knelt before Kaze, prostrating and hitting his head on the ground. He knew he was finished when he found out Kaze was the main commander of the operation. The Construction and Material Society was over, and so was the Hilfinger family. Based on what he did to Kaze, there was no reason for Kaze to spare him. Even the Lee family from the capital could not protect him anymore. He did not know who Kaze was, but as someone who could order the army around, he was someone so powerful that not even the Lee family could offend him. The massive anti-riot operation, involving tens of thousands of police and soldiers, managed to go unnoticed by the Lee family, despite having their men all over the city. It was the best proof that Kaze was more powerful than the Lee family! Kaze scoffed and said, “You went after my wife, do you think I’ll let you go that easily?” Roger shuddered. He regret
After most of the guests had left Universal Tower, another group of people came in from the Sky Cloud Tower, which was opposite the building. “It’s Ray Forrester and the people from Perfect World Group!” “The chairman’s assistant, Snow Frost, is also there!” Everyone made way for the group as they strutted into the Universal Tower. They entered the building proudly as if they had just won the war. “I finally know what is going on! The Construction and Material Society has been snatching their employees yet they didn’t respond at all. It’s not that they don’t care or are scared, they are preparing for something big!” “Mr. Forrester is known for being calm and patient. We are fools to think that Perfect World Group is over. Now they are delivering the final blow to Roger Hilfinger!” “Yeah! Roger Hilfinger even said Ray Forrester dared not attend the ceremony. Look what’s happening now!” “We are the clowns, and so is Roger Hilfinger…” The guests dispersed gradually, mockin
“You don’t need to worry about that. The core business of Hilfinger Corporation was originally a division of Quintessential Group that got separated. Now it’s time to return it to its rightful place.” Kaze then looked at Roger. “Tell your employees to clear out the company’s properties and possessions. Tomorrow, my wife will come to take over your company. If you agree, your son lives.” He made it clear that only Henry would be spared, not Roger. It was the most he could offer. Henry got what he deserved, so his life did not matter anymore. Roger, however, must die. It was a little present that Kaze prepared for his family back in the capital. Man proposed, and God disposed. Roger pulled his phone out and called the general manager of Hilfinger Corporation, Jay Buster, and delivered Kaze’s instructions. Kaze pulled a chair over and sat down. “Now, let’s talk about what happened five years ago. Other than the Lee family and the Hilfinger family, who else is involved in
Roger finally understood the situation. Aside from Kaze’s current status and power, his previous identity must be prestigious and dignified as well. Henry simply bullied Kaze during his university days and because of that, the Hilfinger family received so much benefit that they grew larger. Kaze looked at the gangster bosses kneeling on stage. “What about you people?” “Mr. Lee, we have no idea as well. We were just goons a few years back. Mr. Quint is someone that we could never get close to.” All fifteen of them immediately confessed. They had no grudges against Kaze. Even if they were apprehended, the worst punishment would only be jail time. If they were somehow related to Hector’s car crash, then they would lose their lives. Ray then said, “Mr. Chairman, if they are the culprit, I would have dealt with them a long time ago. Based on what I know, it might be related to a few former underworld bosses who had either retired or left the underworld. “However, it’s a
When Kaze saw the substitute, he saw himself. When he was locked up in the psychiatric ward for the first year, his condition was exactly like the substitute. However, Kaze had it worse than the substitute. 24 hours a day, every minute and every second of his life was recorded and he had to pretend to be a retard in front of the camera. He would never forget it for the rest of his life. The screen showed James visiting the substitute. James accompanied him patiently, talked to him, and played with him. “When was this?” Kaze asked. Ray said, “Two years ago, before James White got into the car crash.” James visited the psychiatric ward that day and wanted to bring Kaze out to a better place for treatment. However, the substitute was under constant surveillance and the Lee family would never allow him to take the substitute out. James failed in the end. After that, James never visited because of the car crash. Then, after the problems with his company, he jumped
A huge commotion erupted in the Lee family’s living hall. Someone presented them with a coffin on Karina’s birthday? Some of them even thought they heard it wrongly. In the next second, two men led a group of four carrying a huge coffin into the hall. The six of them were Dan’s men, the veteran soldiers who came back from the battlefield. The entire hall was silenced. Every single one of the Lee family was stunned. After a momentary silence, Narian stood up and bellowed, “Who are you? Why did you send the coffin here?” “Didn’t you hear me? The coffin is from Kaze Lee of Lilyrose!” The leader of the men said coldly and then waved at his men, “Unload it!” Bang! The heavy coffin was dropped on the ground, shaking the entire hall a little. The coffin lid was not nailed down, so upon landing, it slid off. A pungent smell of blood assaulted the lively atmosphere instantly. “Arh! There’s a body inside!” The Lee family was on stage when they saw the body inside th
From the day Perfect World Group made its debut in the industry, the Lee family had been investigating its young chairman but to no avail. The reason why the Lee family supported Roger in rebuilding the Construction and Material Society was to test the young chairman’s capabilities. Although now that they had gotten the result, it was far beyond their expectations. They even lost Roger, a loyal follower. The Lee family felt relieved knowing that it was not Kaze. Back then, they were merciless toward Kaze. If Kaze had grown this strong, it would put them in a difficult situation. Geoffrey said, “But Kaze has sided with Perfect World Group, so it’s not good news to us. What should we do, George?” Everyone looked at the coffin at the entrance. They were infuriated. Ever since the Lee family became a top family, they had never been insulted this badly. This would surely make the headlines of Sunrise tomorrow. “He used Perfect World Group to send us a coffin, trying to s
