Lee?
Pietro looked at Kaze, baffled. “There is a man named Kaze Lee, and I’m trying to teach him a lesson.”
A loud thud could be heard from the other end of the line.
Pietro asked, “Boss, are you alright?”
Then, a thunderous roar from the man was blasted into Pietro’s ear through the phone.
“Alright? I’m not f*cking alright! Are you trying to f*ck with me now?! I’m warning you, whatever that
man tells you to do, you f*cking do it, understand? He is a God from now on!”
Pietro was stunned. He had never seen Giovani this scared for as long as he worked for him.
He instinctively asked, “Boss, are you mistaken? He’s just some trash who married into the Quint
family.”
“Pietro, are you trying to get yourself killed? You and I are like flies to him. One swat and we are all
dead, crushed! You understand me?!”
“Boss, I…” Pietro got nervous.
“Last warning. That man is someone that not even I can mess with, you better take care of your own
a*s!”
The call ended abruptly.
Pietro was stunned. When he regained his composure, he realized he was drenched in his own sweat
and his legs were shaking.
Deborah noticed Pietro’s lack of response. She went up to him and asked, “Pietro, are you okay?
Teach the two of them a lesson!”
“Teach? I’ll teach your a*s!”
Pietro shouted and swung a slap at Deborah’s face.
Slap!
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
The strong slap sent Deborah faltering, and her delicate cheek swelled immediately.
She covered her cheek in disbelief. Her eyes teared up as she cried, “Pietro, I’m here to buy a car, why
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdid you hit me? Hit them!”
“I’m hitting you because you are a bitch! If not for Vincent Hanser, I would have slapped you to death.
Get the hell out of my face!”
Deborah was speechless but she dared not argue with the man. She glared at Darcy and Kaze before
she stormed out of the office.
When she walked past Kaze, she warned him, “You f*cking retard, just you wait!”
She blamed Kaze for her getting slapped.
Darcy instinctively tugged Kaze’s sleeve, asking softly, “Kaze, let’s go…”
Before Kaze could say a word, Pietro strode over to him.
Darcy was more scared than ever.
To her surprise, Pietro gave a ninety-degree bow and said with a trembling voice, “Mr. Lee, Ms. Quint, I
am so sorry for my manners. Please do not mind what I said…”
What happened?
Darcy was shocked.
Pietro was like a different person after he answered the call.
“So are you going to pay us back?”
Kaze was not surprised by Pietro’s sudden change in attitude. Draco must have settled the matter.
Pietro nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes! Yes, of course. I’ll make it happen right away!”
A while later, Darcy and Kaze left Loco Town with a bank check in hand.
Darcy still could not comprehend what just happened. She looked at Kaze from time to time, wondering
if he did something to the man.
At the same time in a mansion somewhere in the city, the infamous Giovani Beneli was on his knees
before a tall man in a formal suit.
Draco said coldly, “Giovani, nicely done. It seems like you’re not stupid at all. If something happens to
my boss, you will be locked up behind bars forever.”
“Thank you for the mercy, Chief Commander.”
Giovani breathed a sigh of relief after escaping the sentence. He bowed and begged, “I have no idea
that the God of War himself is in Lilyrose and he got into a conflict with my men. I wonder if I can set up
a feast for the God of War to make up for my men’s mistake.”
“I’ll deliver the message.”
“Thank you, Chief Commander!”
…
Lily Court was an old district in Lilyrose City and where Darcy and his parents’ shabby house was
located.
The sky was dark upon Darcy and Kaze’s return.
When they arrived at the entrance, Agnes and Hector darted out immediately.
“Darcy, are you alright? Did that gangster hurt you?”
“Mom, I’m fine. Thanks to Kaze, we actually recovered the debt.”
Darcy then looked at Kaze.
“What? What did he do? You really believed this retard can perform miracles?”
Agnes glanced at Kaze contemptuously and explained, “It was us who asked Henry to help us, or else
you would never be able to get the money back.”
It was Henry?
Darcy was slightly surprised upon hearing her mother.
Kaze subtly narrowed his eyes. It was not the first time he heard the name Henry.
“Darcy, you have to thank Henry for his help. I gave it a try and called him, and he agreed to help as
soon as he learned what happened. He even wanted to bring us out for dinner. You can’t reject him
anymore.”
Darcy wanted to reject the offer. “Mom, can I pass? Kaze just recovered, shouldn’t we celebrate it?”
Agnes rolled her eyes. “What is there to celebrate about this retard’s recovery? Henry helped us
overcome this crisis, you have to come with us to thank him!”
Hector nodded in agreement. He adhered, “Your mother is right. You have to come with us tonight.”
Darcy looked at Kaze with a troubled expression. She said, “If we are going to dinner, what about
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKaze?”
“Stop thinking about him!”
Agnes grabbed Darcy’s hand and pushed her up the stairs. “Go change into something nice and
remember to dress up properly.”
Darcy kept turning around but her mother continued to push her upstairs.
Kaze frowned.
“Kaze, what’s with that look on your face? Get the hell out of our house. You are not welcomed here,”
Hector bellowed with displeasure.
It was then a Land Rover stopped in front of the house.
A slender and beautiful woman came out of the car.
She was Miru Scarlet, Darcy’s longtime friend.
“Hector, Agnes, where’s Darcy? Henry told me to pick you guys up.”
Suddenly, Miru noticed Kaze and it shocked her. “Kaze? What are you doing out of the hospital?”
Agnes grabbed her hand and explained what happened.
Struck with realization, Miru looked at Kaze with disgust.
Three years ago, Kaze disappeared on his wedding night and made Darcy the laughingstock of the
city.
He came back as a retard and gave the Quint family nothing but trouble.
Miru had no respect for her friend’s retarded husband.
“Kaze, now that you’ve recovered, why are you still here? If you are a man, stay away from her, and
don’t stop her from chasing her own happiness.
“Henry is the next in line to inherit his family’s business. His father, Roger Hilfinger, is the Chairman of
the Construction and Material Society. He has total control over the construction business in the city.
Henry can provide Darcy with a good life.
“Look at you, other than insults and suffering, what can you give Darcy?”
Agnes and Hector nodded in agreement.
Kaze calmly said, “Miru, what I can give Darcy is not something a peasant like you could ever imagine.”
