Chapter 4

Looking at Kaze’s confident face, Darcy hesitated. She thought of her family’s current financial situation and it gave her no choice. She bit the bullet, got up, and said, “Grandfather, I’ll go and recover the debt.”

“You stupid girl! Are you crazy? What if that gangster ripped your face apart? Henry wouldn’t want you then!”

Agnes panicked.

The others were shocked, including Master Quint. No one expected Darcy to take up the task.

Samus and the others gloated at her. He then took a five-dollar bill and tossed it at Darcy. “This is for your bravery and for you to take the bus back.”

Deborah crossed her arms and said with raised brows, “You agreed to go yourself. If anything happens to you, don’t blame us.”

Kaze glared at the few of them coldly. He did not even want to argue with them because they were simply clowns.

He held Darcy’s hand and left the mansion.

Meanwhile, Darcy’s parents were giddy with anxiety. Agnes gritted her teeth, “We must ask Henry to help us, he’s our only hope.

Henry has always liked Darcy...”

...

Meanwhile in Loco Town, Darcy held two bags of fruit in her hands as she reminded Kaze, “Remember, mind your words, don’t speak if you don’t know what’s going on. Don’t anger the man.”

Kaze nodded. Darcy was slightly relieved.

Just when they wanted to knock on Pietro’s office door, a series of hurried honks sounded behind them.

A pink Porsche stopped beside the two of them. The window wound down to reveal Deborah’s mean face.

“Geez, you two are really here to recover the debt? I thought you were just bluffing.”

“Deborah? What are you doing here?” Darcy frowned and questioned her impatiently.

“I’m here to buy a car. Unlike you two who are stupid enough to come here knowing that the guy will beat you up.”

Deborah had a pair of sunglasses on and it amplified her arrogance. “After you two left, Grandfather distributed the bonus to all of us. We got an extra two million this year, and I’m buying myself a new car as a birthday present. Unlike you who can’t even afford a better restaurant on your birthday.”

Darcy’s fists clenched upon hearing Deborah. She was slightly shaking.

Kaze grinned and scoffed, “Deborah, it’s just two million, what’s there to show off? Sky High Investment Group hates people who like to show off the little money they have, like you. Don’t even think about getting the investment.”

“You!”

Deborah was furious. She scoffed and said, “You retard, you can really speak now. I hope you can keep it up when you ask Pietro for the money.”

She got out of the car and strutted into Pietro’s office.

Darcy and Kaze followed her inside.

They entered a spacious office with a man wearing a flamboyant golden necklace. He had a saleswoman sitting on his lap and his hands were all over her voluptuous body.

The terrible scar on his face could easily scare people off.

The uninvited guests made Pietro angry. He shouted, “Who the f*ck are you? Get the hell out! Can’t you see I’m in the middle of something?”

The man was as fierce as rumored.

Pietro’s shout made Deborah sweat nervously. She stammered, “P-Pietro, I’m Deborah. Vincent recommended that I buy a car here.”

Upon hearing Deborah, Pietro raised his brows and switched his annoyance for a wide smile. “Deborah Quint? I see. Welcome.

Please have a seat.”

He did receive a call from Vincent informing him of Deborah’s arrival. Since it was a request from a first-tier family, he had to oblige.

He usually served customers with a strong background or reputation himself, which was one of his tactics of creating a connection with the powerful and wealthy.

“And these two are...” Pietro asked when he saw two more people at the door.

Seeing Pietro’s drastic change of attitude, Deborah felt relieved.

She spoke as if she was seeking attention, “Pietro, remember the debt you owe the Quint family? These two are here to collect the debt from you. But don’t worry, I have nothing to do with this, I’m just here to buy a car.”

“I see.”

Pietro nodded upon hearing Deborah. He leaned back in his seat and stared at Darcy and Kaze with his sharp eyes. “I did not expect such audacity from the two of you, to come down here to Loco Town to collect the debt. You two must have a death wish.”

Darcy shuddered when she saw Pietro’s frosty glare. She instinctively took a step back and said, “Pietro, we really need the money back. Please, give us the money back or my family and I won’t make it.”

“What does your family’s situation have to do with me?” Pietro said and scoffed.

He continued scornfully, “The land that Loco Town is built on is mine. On my turf, if I say I ain’t paying, then I ain’t paying. What you gonna do about it, huh?”

Darcy bitterly curled her lips, her eyes were overflowing with despair.

Then, Kaze spoke, “Since when do you have total control over Loco Town’s land, Pietro Beneli?”

Pietro was surprised when Kaze called his full name. He grinned coldly and said impatiently, “Punk, do you have any idea what you are saying?”

Deborah joined Pietro and scolded Kaze, “You retard. Pietro is the owner of Loco Town, of course he’s in charge. Kneel down and apologize!”

Darcy turned pale. She tugged Kaze’s sleeve anxiously, signaling him to stop talking.

Kaze was not afraid of the threats. He continued, “Am I wrong? This land actually belongs to Giovani Beneli, and you are just a watchdog.”

On the way here, Kaze had received Pietro’s background information on his phone.

Pietro was working for Giovani, and Giovani once served under Draco.

Pietro was infuriated by the disrespect, but he forcefully suppressed the anger. His brows furrowed as he asked, “You know my boss?”

“I don’t,” Kaze said. He did not need to know someone who served under his men.

“No? Are you fucking with me?!” Pietro bellowed as his expression turned vicious.

Deborah then fanned the flames from the side, saying, “Pietro, how could he even know Giovani? He’s Kaze Lee, a useless retard who married into our family.”

A guy who married into the Quint family?

Pietro widened his eyes in astonishment.

At the next moment, his anger erupted as if he was insulted.

He cracked his fists as he glared at Kaze viciously.

“Very well.” Pietro clenched his teeth. “It has been years since someone tries to fuck with me!”

Deborah could not hold back her delight when Pietro got mad. She thought this would be the end of the retard.

“Pietro, please, calm down...”

Darcy was at a loss for action. She tried her best to talk some sense into Pietro, “Kaze didn’t mean it. Please don’t mind...”

Pietro did not listen to her. He raised his hand and more than a dozen men rushed into the office.

Each one of them looked vicious and tough.

Darcy could barely stand still when the men rushed in.

Fortunately, Kaze held her up.

“Pietro, you scared my wife.”

A killer aura appeared when Kaze furrowed his brows.

Pietro did not notice it at all. He shouted, “So what if I did? You f*ck with me, so don’t think about getting out here in one piece!”

He glared at Kaze viciously. The men were waiting for an order to charge at Kaze.

Suddenly, Pietro’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and was shocked. He ran to the corner immediately and picked up the phone.

The viciousness on his face was replaced by a strange look of obedience and timidity.

“Boss? What is it? A man and a woman at my place? One of them has the family name of Lee?”
