.The loud sound of the mighty bodyguard’s fist connecting with something resounded in the entire restaurant but the scene of Landon being punched to the ground did not happen.“W-What?!” The bodyguard’s eyes became widened.His fist was held in place in the air by a hand that was much smaller than his.Landon had easily caught his fist in the air like it was nothing.Now his body was standing still, with his fist still trapped by Landon’s smaller hand. It was almost like the bodyguard was struggling to move his fist but it did not move.The bodyguard’s eyes met Landon's gaze for a second only to notice the Crimson shimmer in Landon’s eyes, causing a cold shiver to go down his spine.At this point, Landon looked like the Devil.“What?!”“Did he really just stop the bodyguard that is way twice as big as him?”“That’s impossible! It can’t be! The poor guy does not look anything athletic at all!”“But that’s what is happening right now, he stopped the big bodyguard’s fist with only one hand?”Xander could see the scene in front of him, causing his eyebrows to furrow. “Scorpion! I don’t pay you to fool around! Deal with this dog and stop wasting my time!”Hearing his boss's angered tone, the bodyguard gritted his teeth and pulled his free arm back in an attempt to punch Landon with it.Slap!However, Landon slapped the bodyguard’s second arm away like it was nothing.“Ah!” The bodyguard yelped in pain.His free hand he used to try to assault Landon, who was still holding his right fist in place fell to the side. It felt like a steel rod had just hit his arm.Landon tightened his grip on the bodyguard’s arm which caused him to let out a groan of pain as he crouched down.Landon looked the bodyguard dead in the eyes with chilling coldness and commanded:“Kneel…”A chilling shiver went down the bodyguard’s body and before he knew it, both his knees were already touching the ground with a grimace of pain as Landon still held his fists.Crack! Crack!The bodyguard could hear the bones in his hand cracking.“So you know how to beg right?” Landon cold voice entered his ears.“No. No. No. please…” The bodyguard did not know when he became teary.Unfortunately, his plea fell on deaf ears. “This will be the last time you will use both your arms to hurt another person.”Crack!Without hesitation, Landon twisted the arm of the bodyguard into an unnatural angle and pulled it back, removing his arm from his shoulder sockets.“Aaaah!!!!”The shriek of pain resounded in the entire McDonald’s restaurant.It was truly a horrifying sight.As if that was not enough, another bone-crackling sound could be heard.“Ahhh!!!”The bodyguard screamed again as his other hand was broken.Landon followed up with a kick and then the next second the bodyguard's body was sent flying away like a kite whose string had been broken loose. He crashed into an empty table causing the entire table to shatter.At this point, the entire atmosphere was now quiet. It was so quiet that the sound of a pin falling to the ground could be heard.Almost everyone now had their gaze fixed on Landon, however, this time their expression displayed fear.Nobody wanted to be in the shoes of the bodyguard so they dared not say a thing.At this point, Landon’s cold gaze fell on both Xander and Tricia, causing both of them to flinch.“W-what…what just happened?”Then Landon looked at both his hands with an incredulous glint in his eyes.He had just beaten up Xander’s bodyguard and sent him flying like a trash. How the hell did he do that?!“What’s going on?”Just then four security men rushed into the restaurant with their Taser guns.“Security arrest this imbecile and call the police! He’s causing a nuisance for our customers!” The cashier lady roared with contempt when she saw that security officers had arrived.She had pressed the security alarm button a few minutes ago when she saw things going out of hand a second ago.“Yes, get this bastard out of here and have him arrested! He assaulted my bodyguard! Call the police! He must pay!” Xander roared, seeing that the security officers were now here his confidence was back.“Yes, officers! He’s the delinquent that attacked the young couple’s bodyguard!”“Exactly! This power bastard deserves to pay!”“Arrest him sirs and hand him to the police!”Seeing that, almost everyone in the shop was pointing against Landon they assumed he was the one at fault.“Can you come with us, sir?” One of the security officers said as they all took out their taser guns.“Oh my god! What’s that?!”“Such exotic cars!”The entire hall changed when everyone in the restaurant spotted a convoy of luxurious Royce Rolls cars that obviously cost more than a million dollars parked in front of the McDonald’s restaurant.The doors opened to reveal huge men in all-black suits. One of them walked to one of the luxurious Royce Rolls and opened the door.An elegant English woman stepped outside. She was wearing a green blazer over a white shirt. Her blazer was buttoned over to below her chest with an exquisite female belt over her waist all around the blazer, causing her figure eight to be visible even with her blazer on. Her upper clothing matched with her green trousers that hugged her skin, showing the figures on her lap. Her brown knee-high boot completed her English outfit along with her brown gloves and brown handbag on her hands.Everything about her gave off luxury and she looked so beautiful that it seemed as if time had stopped as everyone stared at her in a daze.The lady was absolutely walking inside when the cashier's voice rang out again:“Get this pauper out here! We don’t want him scaring away our luxurious customers!” The young lady acting as a cashier yelled, breaking the security guards from their daze.She did not know what was going on but it seemed to be her lucky day. She had just gotten a $500 tip from Xander. Maybe she might get a higher tip if she attends to this beautiful lady who looks richer than the young man who had tipped her!“Sir come with us!” One of the security officers said seriously.From the looks in their eyes, they were prepared to fire taser guns if Landon displayed any action of resistance.“Why should I come with you guys when I haven’t done anything wrong? I was the one who was attacked. I did what I had to do in self defense.” Landon frowned.“Come with us sir or we will deal with you!” The security man yelled.At this point, Landon realized that the security officers are not willing to listen to a word he’s about to say so there’s no point in trying to convince them.“Why don’t you go ahead and try!” Landon's eyes flashed with coldness.“Okay you brought this on yourself f-““Don’t you dare fire your Taser gun if you four want to still live!”Just before the security officers could fire their taser guns a firm beautiful female voice stopped them.It was the beautiful English lady who had just stepped out of the Royce Rolls.The security officers did not know who the lady was but they knew they did not dare disobey the lady’s order.This lady with so many bodyguards and luxurious cars did not look like a simple person at all.The English lady ignored everyone’s gaze as if they did not exist. She walked up to Landon and then bowed.“Young master. Sorry if I may have taken too long!”Everyone gaped in shock as they heard the beautiful lady’s voice. Even Xander’s mouth was so wide open that an egg would fit into his mouth.Meanwhile, Tricia had a look of disbelief on her face as her heart thumped fiercely. Why is such a high-status beautiful lady bowing to someone like…Landon? Isn’t Landon a pauper? How can someone so amazing be bowing down to him?Her eyes shudder in confusion, not being able to comprehend what was going on at the moment.Just like her Xander was also confused. How can a beautiful lady who looked extremely rich be bowing down to that pauper? This is just simply insane. This lady was simply one of the most beautiful ladies he had seen in his eyes yet she was bowing down to a nobody like Landon.Just the thought of the sight of it made him extremely jealous!“What…the hell is going on here?” Xander did not know when he mumbled out his confusion.Meanwhile, the cashier lady was also confused as well. She could tell that the young man in front of her was actually poor at a glance so why was this high-status lady bowing to him?“Why is the beautiful goddess bowing to him?”“Is he someone important?”“Seems like he’s a humble rich heir.”“I can’t believe it!”Everyone had incredulous expressions on their face as they stared at the scene.Even Landon himself was shocked. He was expecting a lady with an English accent to come meet him here but he did not expect one as beautiful as this. To top it all off, she’s goddamn rich! Just look at those many cars! Just one can buy people's generation!‘W-What the hell…is going on here?’..Landon was stunned.What the hell is really going on?!‘No…this has to be a joke right..’To be honest, since yesterday things are so strange that he has so many questions to ask but he did not expect his mysterious caller to be like this. First of all how did she know she had seen a mysterious crimson silhouette? Who is she? How did she get his number?At first he had thought that his encounter with the crimson silhouette was a dream but this lady before him is making him think otherwise…and to top it all of he didn’t expect his mysterious caller to turn out like this.“Are you the one who called me?” Landon asked.“Yes, young master. You can call me Eve.” Eve looked around and understood the current situation going on so she took action. “Young master, why don’t we go somewhere private so that we can talk?”Then why the hell does she keep referring to him as young master?!Landon was still stunned but he nodded. He was sick of this place already.Eve turned around as they walked
..At this point Landon was confused.“I’m the only one to have heard the Crimson’s figure’s voice other than Marcus my ancestor?”“Yes..” Eve answered, still having an incredulous expression on her face.“You said I’m the only one to have heard the Crimson figure’s voice apart from Marcus without dying? I still don’t understand…”From the way Eve had spoken about this mysterious Crimson figure, Landon assumed that this being had been in contact with his family for many centuries now…with Marcus King, being the first person to come in contact with it…so how is it that he is the only person apart from Marcus King to have heard this Crimson figure’s voice? So many things still don’t make sense.First of all…what kind of a relationship does this mysterious being have with his family? Then why does it seem like this being’s voice can kill a person?“Yes, you are the only one to have heard the Crimson figure's voice without dying after Marcus King…The Crimson figure has been with the King
..Landon was stunned.“My father was murdered?” Landon asked.“Yes.”“Was my father ever the leader of the family?”“Yes. Your father was the last leader of the King family before you became the next heir after his sudden death.”This made Landon to be very curious so he could not help but ask:“Wait…I thought you said the Crimson figure worked hand in hand with every family leader if that’s the case then my father should have been powerful…he should have had supernatural powers just like me…then how is it that he was murdered?”This was a part Landon was very curious about. He could feel that he had grown more powerful so how was it his father was suddenly murdered? If his father had such a power and if his family is as powerful as Eve says they are then how did his father lose his life?Eve understood Landon’s question clearly so she proceeded to answer him immediately:“Remember I told you the Crimson figure is not the only one of its kind?”“Yes..” Landon nodded. He remembered E
..100 billion dollars? Landon was so shocked that his mind immediately went blank.‘Did she just say that there’s 100 billion dollars in this card?’Landon quickly held the black card with both hands like an egg he could not allow to fall off his hands.“W-wait…did you just say there’s a 100 billion dollars in this card?” Landon asked, still unwilling to believe Eve’s last statement.“Yes, young master. Inside that card is 100 billion dollars. Manage it for now. I did not have enough time to pull out enough funds into the card but don’t worry if it’s not enough I’ll be sure to triple the amount or make it to whichever amount you want me to!” Eve replied as if she was agitated.“No...no, it’s not that!” Landon hurriedly gestured. “It’s just that…”Landon did not know how to even explain it but 100 billion dollars?! 100 billion dollars?! How can Eve call such an amount of money little?!Landon has not even seen 100 thousand dollars not to mention 100 billion dollars. That fact Eve ref
..“What was that for?” Landon was very annoyed right now.Landon had said he would give her money in a couple of minutes. He just needed to withdraw and that would be all but instead, he got slapped by Elena.“Are you stupid?! Really a few minutes?! So is that the lie you want to tell me so that I will let you go away and I won’t see you again for a while?! You are a very terrible human being! Was I a bad person to borrow you some money?! Tell me?! You are not only poor but the worst person ever!” Elena yelled.“But I said I just need to withdraw so that I can pay you so why do you have to slap me?!” Landon was fuming right now.“Oh really?” Elena replied unwilling to believe him. “You want a few minutes to go withdraw the money huh?! Who do you take for a fool? If you want to pay me my money you will ask for my account details and make a transfer! You don’t need to go withdraw away to go make a withdrawal you imbecile! Just admit it you want to ditch me without paying me today!”“Th
..Landon got out of the cab in a fashion street in Dimvale city.If he’s going to find anything to get for Kara, he should see something here.Landon looked at all the stores around until his eyes fell on a Gucci store that caught his attention.Without much thought, he decided to enter the Gucci store.The moment Landon entered the Gucci store what caught his eye was nothing but luxury. This was his first time being in a high-end store like this. ‘Wow…’There were both beautiful male and female clothes hanging around the shop.Not knowing what to buy Landon decided to seek assistance by approaching the counter with a lady sitting over it.“Hello, Miss. I’d love to buy something for a lady.”The lady looked at Landon and then contempt flashed in her eyes. Landon did not look like a person who could buy anything from this store from his appearance so she sighed tiredly. ‘Not now…’She was in no mood to deal with customers like this. Since this was a high-end luxury store, some custo
..After slapping Landon, Lisa forcefully dragged the Link to Love platinum necklace from his hand.“Why did you hit me?!” Landon was fuming with rage.He was slapped just because he’s trying to get a necklace?!This is the third slap he has received today for no good reason and he was fed up with it. After receiving, a slap, it was as if a nut had gotten loose in his brain because he threw his rational reasoning right out the window.There’s no way he’s letting this embarrassment slide by this time!“I tired of you wasting my time?! You are simply the worst! Just because we let you low life enter the store does not mean you can cause issues for real customers! Just get out of here since you can’t afford anything here.” Lisa replied harshly. Her irritation towards Landon had reached the limit.Meanwhile, both Fernando and Elena burst out into laughter as they watched Landon being humiliated.“Just get out of here you imbecile! You can’t afford anything here so there’s no need to keep
..The moment Mr. David identified Landon’s last name a cold shiver ran down his entire spine. He quickly understood what was going on immediately.This young man is from the family of the shadows! The King Family!Although the King family was not a well-known family to the public, Mr. David who was a man who had connections rooted to the very core of Dimvale City was one of the lucky renowned individuals who knew about the King family. The King family is one of the most powerful families in the world.All the most powerful families in Dimvale City were nothing but ants to them. Even he was much smaller than an ant compared to the King family. Most people do not know about the existence of the King family but Mr. David knew that most of the powerful families he dared to not mess with were the King family’s puppets. He could die just from mentioning their name carelessly in public. That was how ruthless the King family was.Mr. David had still not recovered from the terror he was f
. . "That’s because I found myself entangled in a perilous situation—the most dangerous kind of all..." Quincy said, his face pale and marked by an expression of deep-seated fear, as though reliving a terrifying memory. His voice quivered slightly, but his tone carried the weight of someone who had been through a harrowing ordeal. "Danger?" Landon’s curiosity intensified as he leaned forward, hanging on Quincy’s every word. "What kind of danger are you talking about?" Quincy took a deep breath, his shoulders sagging slightly under the burden of the story he was about to tell. "You see," he began, "I’ve been under surveillance by the King family’s people for years now—at least as far back as I can remember." His voice dropped lower, as though afraid the shadows around them might be listening. "It all started after my adopted parents were killed five years ago. My adopted parents, as it turns out, were members of a royal family embroiled in a vicious internal power struggle. In thei

..Landon was at a complete loss for words as he stared at the young man before him. The declaration he had just heard seemed so unbelievable that his mind struggled to process it. He stood frozen, trapped not by the remnants of the glowing chains that had bound him moments ago, but by the sheer shock of the situation. He had already been grappling with the mystery of the strange, glowing white chains that had immobilized him. Their appearance alone was enough to throw him into confusion, yet now he was being dragged into an entirely new layer of uncertainty—one far more personal. Big brother? “Wait…” Landon finally managed to speak, his voice tinged with disbelief. “What did you just say?” He needed to hear it again, just to make sure he hadn’t misunderstood. The young man in front of him smiled, his expression calm and confident. “I said…I’m Quincy, your younger brother.” He spoke as though this revelation was the most natural thing in the world. As he spoke, he continued w
..Out of the six transfer students, this particular male stood out. He didn’t bother to hide his curiosity or disguise the fact that he was observing Landon. Even when their eyes met, the boy held his gaze, unflinching. Rather than engage in a staring contest, Landon chose to look away. It wasn’t out of intimidation but rather a calculated decision. His current persona as a miserable, unremarkable student didn’t align with the idea of locking eyes confidently with a stranger. Maintaining his cover was more important than asserting dominance in this situation. The rest of the school day proceeded without incident, and soon enough, Landon was done with his classes. As he prepared to leave campus, Kara approached him. “Landon, are you okay?” she asked gently. Her voice was filled with genuine concern, though she seemed hesitant to bring up the events of yesterday directly. Landon smiled warmly and reassured her, “I’m fine, Kara. Don’t worry about me.” Though they exchanged on
..It was the next day, and classes had resumed as if nothing had happened. The bustling halls of Cradle Valley University were alive with the usual sounds of chatter, laughter, and hurried footsteps. Students moved from one building to another, clutching textbooks and exchanging cheerful greetings. Even Landon, who was making his way to class, noted how ordinary everything appeared. Looking around, he observed how everyone was preoccupied with their own affairs, going about their routines without a second glance at him. It was almost surreal. Considering the dramatic events of yesterday, one would expect the university to be in complete disarray, struggling to recover from the attack. Yet, to Landon’s surprise, today felt like any other mundane school day. By the time Landon arrived at his classroom, he felt a shift in the atmosphere. The moment he stepped through the door, he could feel every pair of eyes fixate on him. For a brief moment, the room fell eerily silent, and all a
..After spending a grueling few hours in the detention center, the students and staff of Cradle Valley University had reached a breaking point. They were exhausted, both physically and mentally, and were willing to do almost anything to regain their freedom and return to their normal lives. The cold, confining walls of the detention center had stripped away their usual composure, leaving them desperate and eager to comply with any demands that might lead to their release.The relief that washed over their faces when they learned the authorities had found them innocent was palpable. It was like the first taste of water after being stranded in a barren desert. They clung to the promise of freedom with a fervent determination, as if their very lives depended on it. Each individual was delighted, grateful to escape the harsh reality of imprisonment. Among the entire group, Tricia stood out as the most visibly relieved. She had spent her time in the detention center cursing Frank under h
. . “Then, if no one in your family inherited the Blue Silhouette, who did?” Solace asked, his voice resonating with palpable confusion. Despite being a Sovereign, even he found it difficult to comprehend Nathaniel’s statement. Nathaniel, however, understood the Sovereigns’ reactions all too well. Their disbelief mirrored his own when he first discovered the truth. Yet, his words were unshakably honest. “We don’t know who inherited the Blue Silhouette,” Nathaniel replied firmly, his tone steady despite the weight of his admission. “But rest assured, we are currently working to locate this individual.” “Didn’t you just claim that all of the Blue Sovereign’s descendants were killed?” the Yellow Sovereign interrupted, his voice sharp with suspicion. “By that logic, either you or one of your children should have inherited the Blue Silhouette. So how is it that nothing of the sort has happened yet? Are you certain the Blue Sovereign didn’t father a child in secret?” “We have no knowl
..“How?” Landon was utterly shocked when Eve’s words reached his ears. Landon was certain he had not killed the Blue Sovereign, so how could the Blue Sovereign be dead? The news baffled him. He had already caused significant chaos by taking the life of the Orange Sovereign, but he had never anticipated that this turmoil would somehow lead to the death of the Blue Sovereign. The revelation filled him with intense curiosity.‘What could have possibly led to the Blue Sovereign’s death?’Only a few hours ago, Frank had been on the verge of sending a signal to the Blue Sovereign, and Landon had intervened to stop him. It wasn’t that Landon lacked the will to face the Blue Sovereign in battle—on the contrary, he was eager for that confrontation. However, he preferred to choose the terms of such a fight. Besides, taking on the Blue Sovereign in the middle of school grounds had seemed like a reckless idea. Yet now, mere hours after his encounter with Frank, the Blue Sovereign was reportedl
