Rudy carefully asked, “You must be King Kong. What did my son do wrong that you had to beat him up?” King Kong glared at everyone in the house and grunted coldly. “It seems like you people are trying to get me killed! You want me to take back Kaze Lee’s house while Skylar View District has been listed as a restricted area because of Chief Commander Lang. “When we went there, Kaze called the Tiger Fangs Militia on us and we almost died there!” “What? Is Skylar View District a restricted area? We had no idea!” Master Quint and the others were shocked. “So you’re saying that I’m lying? Look at this, I broke my arm at Horizon Mirror!” King Kong then shouted, “I want twenty million as compensation!” One broken arm for twenty million? He might as well rob the bank! “King Kong, we have already paid you five million and you promised to get the house! Now you’ve failed to take the house so you should give us back the money! How dare you ask us for compensation?” Master Qui
Meanwhile at Horizon Mirror, Darcy was stunned when she received her grandfather’s call. However, she did not have the ten million to offer, nor did she know to accept or reject the offer. After the phone call, she talked to Kaze about this. The next morning, the two of them arrived at the meeting room in Quintessential Group Headquarters. Master Quint and the other executives of the company, plus Rudy’s family, were there. "Let us begin. I hereby announce that Darcy will be appointed COO of Quintessential Group, with full authority to run the company's operations.” For the sake of ten million, Master Quint directly made Darcy the COO, which proved that he was ready to go all out with this bet. Fortunately, many including Rudy and family breathed a sigh of relief when he did not make Darcy the CEO.If the strict and honest Darcy became the CEO, the vermins in the company would be exterminated. It seemed Master Quint was cautious against Darcy and not handing her the ke
Since when did this start? It started the day Kaze came back to the Quint family. Master Quint resented him. Darcy knew her grandfather was not satisfied with her. She felt helpless but chose to remain silent. Then, Samus came over and said fiercely, “Darcy, don’t you dare think you can make all the decisions in the company just because you have a position now. Don’t forget that the company’s executives are all my father’s men, who he had handpicked and promoted himself.” “Yeah. Besides, the person in charge of Passion Fragrance District project, Randal Song, is a man with a short temper. Be careful or else he’ll ruin your pretty face,” Deborah said with a grin. Passion Fragrance District used to be a project by Quintessential Group but it ended up in Darcy’s hands because it had been losing money. Kaze said coldly, “I don’t mind ruining your pretty face first, Deborah.” Deborah covered her face immediately. “I’m just offering a piece of advice! You ungrateful bastard!”
Darcy looked disheartened when she heard Ren badmouthing Kaze. Ren then pointed at the roses behind him and said, “Look at the 99,999 roses, I prepared them for you! If you look closely, you can even see your name.” Darcy got a closer look and actually saw her name in the color gradient on the petals. The workers must have arranged it without her knowing but she was not impressed at all. Ren’s method would work if he was trying to make some little girls happy. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Joestar, but I can’t accept them. Please leave.” Darcy shook her head and looked even more disheartened. “Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!” “Be together! Be together! Be together!” The crowd started cheering. They saw Darcy blushing and shaking her head, so they thought she was too shy to accept the confession, so they began the chant.Ren used the opportunity and said, “Ms. Quint, look. They want you to say yes. Why don’t you say yes first, otherwise it might look shameful on me.” I
Darcy bought the Audi A4 with her own money she earned from starting a company. It was her family’s only car during the financial crisis. It was her family’s blood and sweat yet Ren made it sound like trash, which was an insult to her effort. She walked to the Audi A4 without saying a word. Ren was confused. “Ms. Quint! What is better in that Audi A4 than my car?” Kaze was annoyed by the buzzing bug. He let go of Darcy’s hand and walked up to Ren. “Do you know why Darcy doesn't like your car? It’s because it’s not safe enough!” Ren was stunned before he laughed loudly as if he heard the funniest joke. “Do you even know anything about cars? You are saying that my car worth two million is not as safe as your thirty thousand dollar car…” Kabaam! A loud thump stopped Ren’s sneers. Kaze punched the Maserati Quattroporte’s hood and black smoke erupted from the engine. The back of the car bounced up before it fell back down. Ren’s expression was frozen, and so was the
After Darcy and Kaze went to Quintessential Group Headquarters in the morning, Agnes went out as well. As mentioned the other day, she wanted to hold a housewarming party and invite her old friends to dinner. She went out to find a good venue to host her friends. Cloud Nine was certainly off the list, so she went for the second option, Lily Garden Hotel, which was one of the better hotels in the city. The fee to host a party in Lily Garden was $5,000 per table. She was planning on having at least 20 tables for the party, so the price would rake up to $100,000, excluding food and drinks. Since her friends and neighbors were all middle-aged people, she planned to invite some performers or live bands as entertainment. After a rough calculation, she would need at least $200,000 to cover all the costs. Agnes did not want to spend that much money, so she wanted to look for a more affordable option. Then, she bumped into her former colleague from the hospital where she used
Agnes was skeptical but before she saw the final outcome, she would never simply deny Kaze. Kaze had proven himself many times that he was well connected to a lot of powerful and influential friends who would come to his aid at critical moments. Darcy chose to believe in Kaze as well. “Alright. Kaze, can you accompany Mom to Lily Garden Hotel later? I have a site visit.” “Not a problem.” Kaze nodded. He went out of the house and summoned two Tiger Fangs’ soldiers. Since yesterday afternoon, Tiger Fangs had taken over the security of the residential district. Kaze handed them a cigarette each and said, “My wife is going out. Follow her and protect her, but don’t let her know. If anything happens, deal with it. If it’s beyond your control, call me.” He had to accompany Agnes to Lily Garden Hotel later and could not be by Darcy’s side. Worried about Darcy’s safety, he put the two men in charge of protecting her. He noticed yesterday that the entire Tiger Fangs Militia
Hellen saw Agnes pacing back and forth at the hotel entrance earlier and dared not enter. She believed Agnes was just pretending to have the money. She turned to her son-in-law and said, “Sam, let’s go make the deposit. It’s a waste of time trying to argue with someone who doesn’t even dare to go into the hotel. Only money makes the world go round.” “Alright. I'll make the necessary reservation.” Sam Faye did not even look at Agnes or Kaze and headed into the hotel. “Agnes, toodle-oo.” Hellen strutted into the hotel. Agnes was upset by Hellen’s sneers. She tugged at Kaze’s arm and said, “My dear son-in-law, let us go and book the tables that are worth twenty thousand each!” “Yes, ma’am!” Kaze brought Agnes into the hotel as Hellen and her family were already talking to the hotel staff. Sam said, “Hello, we came earlier and wanted to book Fortune Hall for tomorrow. The sign says it’s still available for booking, right?” “Yes, Mr. Faye. Fortune Hall is still availab
