Chapter 1254 Not Quite There

Conan went limp on the floor.

He finally threw in the towel.

Not only did Conan lose any ounce of defiance in him, but he felt relieved to escape death.

He knew that Kaze could crush him easily.

Conan only survived today because he did not make things difficult for Darcy.

Getting on all fours, Conan crawled to kneel before Kaze.

He bobbed his head and said, "Thank you for not killing me, Kaze. I am your slave from here on out."

He loved being a thug, but he was no fool.

Mathias was the successor of the Butterworth Queens. He would need the approval of the family's core members to submit to Kaze.

The Queens would only do so if it benefited the family.

He wanted to get into Kaze's good graces.

For once, Conan was not stubborn and apologized to Kaze.

Mathias was relieved.

"You?

"You're not quite there."

Kaze did not look at Conan and strode confidently ahead. Without looking back, he said, "Tell those people to let my wife go."

"Of course."

Mathias went straight to work.

It was raining cats and dogs outside.

Darcy and the others were brought to an indoor space next to the bar.

"Mr. Mathias said you can leave now."

A subordinate of the Queens, put in charge of keeping watch, received a call, relayed the message, and left. "Yay!"

Greg, Lilian, and the others rejoiced in relief.

Since Mathias released them, they were saved.

Only Darcy stood alone in a comer without joining the celebration. She looked anxious.

"Are you worried about your loser husband, Darcy?"

"Don't worry. You'll see him soon. You need to prepare for his funeral after all."

Lilian's words ticked Greg pink. Greg lamented not witnessing Kaze's death.

Worried sick, Darcy teared up.

She exclaimed angrily, "Watch your mouth, Lilian. I called Mathias here."

"Who are you fooling? We saw Mr. Mathias arriving looking sullen. He's kind enough not to ruin your husband too, Faye said sarcastically.

"Why don't I call Mathias to ruin you?"

A chilling voice was heard in the back.

Everybody froze and looked back before crying in horror.

"Jesus Christ. You scared me, Kaze."

Darcy lifted her head and ran over to jump into Kaze's arms. She wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Are you alright, Kaze? I hope Mathias didn't put you through hell,"

Darcy cried tears of joy.

Kaze patted her shoulder to offer comfort. "That's if he has the guts to. Don't worry, babe."

As the couple shared a sweet embrace, the crowd grimaced.

It was a pity the Queen brothers did not end Kaze.

Not only did Kaze survive, but he escaped without a scratch on him.

"Oh, it's all my fault."

Suddenly, Greg stamped his foot. "I called Red Funds' higher management to ask for help. I forgot to get Kaze excluded.

"The Queens probably thought we were close and told Mr. Mathias to release him."
