"Slandering and attacking a military personnel without reason is a serious offense," The officer's stern tone rang out as he lifted his foot again.BANG!As soon as he finished speaking, he struck another assassin. This one like the other was instantly crushed to death on the spot. "Disobeying the official orders of the military is even a greater offense!"BANG!The third assassin died on the spot and then, the fourth... The fifth... Until there was one remaining assassin. This last one was already paralyzed with fear seeing his colleagues die so easily.Now that it was his turn, the fear of death suddenly disappeared. It was inevitable anyways. He only laid helplessly in wait for his final moment.The officer stopped in front of the last assassin standing. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the old patriarch standing on the podium. A smile spread on his lips, scaring the old man out of his wits before—THUD!He viciously stomped on the assassin's head with his boots forcing i

"From now on, I prohibit any of you from stepping into Valoria Prime! If you defy my orders, not only will you have to face the wrath of the commanding officer, you and your family's name will be removed from our genealogy forever!" The old patriarch's reddened eyes and loud voice was one to remember.The commanding officer finally smiled in satisfaction and waved his fingers dismissively again, "This incident must not be leaked to the public. Find a way to keep this away from the media or the consequences will be severe on your family.""Yes sir!"___________At the time that the Holloway's family admitted defeat and withdrew their plans to invade Valoria Prime, the same thing was also happening with the remaining four major provincial families of the Southern region.The four provincial families had been intercepted by the soldiers acting on the orders of the commanding officer before they could venture into Valoria Prime.The news that if any of them dared to step out of their home

Thinking of his parents made his eyes glaze over for a minute. But then, Kian regained his composure and tightened his fingers around the steering wheel.'Father... Mother, it doesn't matter if you are unable to witness this glorious moment. But your son will spill the blood of your enemies and mourn you in heaven!'VROOM!The engine of the black sedan roared and then it raced towards the outline of the city ahead. Some minutes later when the car was getting closer to Cascadia, Kian looked up into the interior rear view mirror."Wesley.""Sir?" Wesley jolted from his curiosity and snapped his eyes to the interior rear view mirror. He had almost had his face plastered to the windows just now looking outside with intense curiosity.Kian would have facepalmed if his fingers weren't on the steering wheel. This man... What's with the sir? Shouldn't he learn to shed formalities now so it'll be easier when they arrive at Cascadia?Regardless, Kian overlooked this little slip up and pointed o

Inhaling for a few seconds, Kian regained his composure. "The elder we are going to visit now was one of the people that saved my parents back then. My father used to say he also put his life on the line to allow them escape out of the imperial capital's borders. He was also the one that gave my father some money to enable my parents to survive during their first days of living in Valoria Prime."Wesley was silent. He suddenly thought, wouldn't the imperial Blackwood's family have found out about that elder's heroic behavior. Would he still be alive now?"General, that elder back then, is he still..." He trailed off, unable to complete his words but Kian quickly guessed what he was trying to say."Back then, those people had to help my parents secretly. When my father's other friend was killed on the borders, it was that elder that fought off those martial artists himself and killed many of them, scaring the rest into running away. He hid his identity pretty well also. The imperial Bl

These onlookers are just there to watch the show. They are all talk, no action. There was no point arguing with these people. Besides, if they want to persecute someone, they should go after the real culprit.Kian's gaze fell on the shameless man still wailing and he uttered two words calmly, "Get lost."The man was so astonished he forgot to cry anymore. He stood up, keeping some distance away from the two of them. His kind was racing. This masked man is most certainly a martial artist. Will he dare to lay his hands on him in broad daylight!The sleazy middle-aged man was a bit scared but then he thought, ' How can I rip these two off without taking any risk myself?'Thinking of this, a sinister glint shone in his eyes and he quickly shouted again, "Did you all hear him? See his attitude! Humph!"As soon as he finished speaking, he doubled over, crouched and clutched his chest. "Ow! That kick must have fractured some of my ribs! It hurts badly! My family relies on me for a living. Ho
