“Uncle Camry, Aunt Teresa, now that James is gone, let me take care of you. You can treat me as your own son. I will do whatever I can to take back Shangrila Group.” Kaze consoled the two of them. Camry and Teresa were happy enough to have their son’s friend visiting. As for taking back Shangrila Group, they never thought of it before and did not dare to rely on Kaze to do it. They knew the person that James offended was powerful, someone that they could not afford to mess with. After the little reunion with Kaze, Camry and Teresa realized the problem at hand had not been solved. “Kaze, you better leave now. Zenon’s boss is Scarface. He’ll definitely come back with more men!” Camry said anxiously. Before Zenon scuttled away, he said he would bring his boss back for vengeance. Scarface was the gangster boss who ruled the Old District for years. He had a dozen ferocious men working under him and he controlled the local strip clubs and bars. He even operated a loan com
A man with a grimace strutted into the front yard. There was a huge scar on the left of his face, from his temple down to his chin. The scar looked like a giant centipede crawling on his face, making him look vicious and scary. His presence alone was terrifying. The man was the notorious Scarface of the Old District. Scarface had a cigarette hanging in his mouth, his eyes narrowed as he glared at the elderly couple who came out from the house. “Camry White, where is that little shit that broke Zenon’s arm?” Camry and Teresa were frightened by his shout. Even though Kaze told them that he was a chairman of a big company and had gotten two other gangster bosses to deal with Scarface, they were still afraid of Scarface when they saw him in person. “Scarface, Kaze is my son’s classmate. He visited and thought Zenon was harassing us, that’s why he broke his arm. Please forgive him, we’ll pay for Zenon’s medical fee!” Camry bit the bullet and begged. “Medical fee? Do you ha
The alley was filled with people, from the house’s front yard to the end of the alley. There were around a few hundred people at first glance. Scarface and his men were stunned. Some of them were shaking and even peed themselves. “What the hell? Why are there so many people? Are they here for me?” Scarface wiped the sweat off his forehead. The men in the alley automatically split up, opening a path in the center. Two sets of hurried footsteps came. When Scarface saw the owners of the footsteps, his heart skipped a beat. He went up to them with flattery and said, “Gold Tooth, Dan, what are you guys doing here?” Scarface saw the two of them before during the gathering of the gangster bosses. After fifteen gangster bosses were arrested, Gold Tooth and Dan were the only ones left. He also heard that the two of them took over the properties and resources of the other gangs, making them invincible. “Who the hell are you? Get the hell out of my face!” Dan slapped Scarf
“Aunt Teresa, I’m not a gangster.” Kaze was amused, but it was difficult to explain the situation clearly to her. Fortunately, Gold Tooth read the situation and said, “Madam, it’s Master Lee who arrested the gangsters yesterday.” “Yeah. Master Lee is the commander of the anti-riot operation yesterday!” Dan echoed. Camry and Teresa were surprised. No wonder Gold Tooth and Dan were so afraid of Kaze. They could be arrested if they defy Kaze! Scarface and his men were mortified. Rumors of the fifteen gangster bosses were circulating the city. It was said that the fifteen of them would be executed. Kaze then looked at Scarface. “So, James owed you twenty thousand?” “No! No, Master Lee! I was wrong! James White didn’t owe me any money! This is a misunderstanding!” Scarface ordered Zenon to extort money from Camry and Teresa even though James did not owe anyone money. Two years ago, if James was still the chairman of Shangrila Group, Scarface would never dare. “No? Then
“Uncle Camry, Aunt Teresa, you are being too courteous,” Kaze said as he helped them into the house. “I said I will take care of you two on behalf of James now that he’s gone.” Camry and Teresa were thrilled to hear that. After losing their son, this would be the first time they felt truly happy. Kaze added, “The Old District environment is terrible. Brenda can’t grow up happily here, you guys can’t stay here anymore. I’ll buy a big house for you and you can move in with Brenda. I’ll hire a maid to take care of you all. “Aunt Teresa, you don’t need to wash clothes in the winter anymore.” “Kaze, that sounds… expensive. We are fine living here. Why don’t you just take Brenda away? The two of us are going to be okay.” Teresa’s hands were shaking when she rejected the suggestion. Kaze saw the cracks on her hands and it pained him. “Money is not that important to me. I’m more concerned about your health. Just leave it to me. I’ll let you know when everything is done.” “Kaz
A group of security guards rushed out and flanked the Quint family as if it were an ambush. “Jay, you traitor! Are you out of your mind? The Hilfinger Corporation belongs to the Quint family now. How dare you tell the security to throw us out!?” The Quint family was stunned and enraged. Jay scoffed, “The Quint family is shit. Who told you that Hilfinger Corporation is going back to the Quint family?” “My grandson-in-law, Kaze Lee! He was at the rebuilding ceremony yesterday and he saw the fall of the Hilfinger family!” Master Quint argued. Jay cackled. “Your useless grandson-in-law? You believed him? If he said Lilyrose City belongs to him, would you ask the mayor to give you his place” Irritated, Jay urged the security guards to throw the Quint family out. “Don’t just stand there, throw them all out!” All of them were thrown out of the lobby. "Get the hell out of here! Hilfinger Corporation is now under the control of the Everia, Golding, and Chapman families. The Quin
"He’s just the Quints’ son-in-law, why did the Lee family go to such an extent to warn him? They must have overestimated him," Eliot said with a scornful grunt. He was displeased with the Lee family because they used to hold the same rank as the top three families. Now, the Everia, Golding, and Chapman families had to take orders from the Lee family. Eliot was an ambitious man and he too wanted to push the Everia family to new heights. Frank said, “I heard he has the support of the Perfect World Group. After Roger Hilfinger killed himself, his body was sent back to the Lee family in a coffin.“He even gave the Lee family three weeks to apologize to him in person. The family was having a birthday party for Karina Lee when the coffin crashed their party. Then, George Lee asked us to deal with this little retard.” The top three families accepted the terms offered by the Lees. All they had to do was deal with a retard of a son-in-law and they could get Hilfinger Corporation. W
“Ms. Lowry, I didn’t hit Ben. He took my toy and he fell when he ran away!” Brenda stood with her hands behind her back in the corner of the office, crying her lungs out as she tried to defend herself. The boy named Ben was sitting in front of her. There seemed to be some blood stain below his nose, and he was also crying. Slam! Ben’s father, Ken, slammed the table and shouted, “You wretched girl! How dare you lie! Ben is a good boy, he has a lot of toys. Why would he take yours? No wonder you lie at such a young age, your parents didn’t teach you right!” Ben’s mother, Elsa, said coldly, “Ms. Lowry, Brenda White is obviously a badly educated child. I’m afraid Ben might be influenced by being in the same class as her. I’d suggest she gets expelled!” Brenda cried when she heard the boy’s mother threatened to expel her. “Sobs, no I don’t want! Ms. Lowry, please don’t expel me! I am a good girl, I didn’t hit Ben!” Ms. Arina Lowry was a fresh grad recently recruited as a tea
