2024-07-17 15:20:23The magnificent building of a glamorous five-star hotel stood tall amongst the city skylines proudly. Tonight, it seems to be bustling with activities as people are entering and leaving every minute.
There was also a spectacular lineup of different brands of expensive cars outside the hotel. Sinclair's family has reserved the entire hotel for a special occasion tonight. They have also invited guests from all over as their eldest and most beloved daughter, Olivia Sinclair was getting married again. There were different airships hovering over the building carrying a banner that could be seen from miles away: "Wishing Miss Olivia Sinclair and Mr Alexander Gray a lifetime of love and happiness." Socialites and celebrities were gathered around the lobby of the hotel talking, toasting and laughing happily. The atmosphere was quite lively and lovely. "Now that the Sinclair's family and Gray's family are going to merge as one. They will be unstoppable and completely rule over our Valoria Prime city." "Yes... Yes... Yes... At this point, it is best to curry favors with them and not get on their bad side. I presume their enemies will have no good ending later." "Speaking of this reminds me of the Blackwood's family. They rose to fame years ago without any background and tried to overtake Sinclair's family which is a hundred years old with deep-rooted influence. How ridiculous of them to have thought they could succeed!" "But in the end, they all died miserably and everything they owned became Miss Olivia's." "And now everything will only belong to the Gray's family after this marriage is finalized." "Shh... Lower your voice. You will get not only yourself but everyone else into trouble." The socialites who knew the true inside story of what happened that night whispered amongst themselves with mixed reactions. After all, it wasn't a secret. It was just that no one dared to speak about it openly because of the power the Sinclair's family possessed. "Everyone, look! The soon to be couple are coming out!" Someone shouted and everyone's attention turned to the entrance. The hall quietened as Olivia who was dressed in a beautiful studded wedding dress which complemented her fair and delicate skin appeared. There was a handsome, young man by her side with an arrogant expression. He was Alexander Gray and as soon as they walked in, everyone began to gush happily. "A beautiful bride and a handsome groom. What better match could there be than this?" "They are truly a match made in heaven." "Olivia is so beautiful up close. She really deserves her title." "Alex isn't looking bad either. No wonder he's amongst the top on the list of the most eligible bachelors in the city." "But he won't be a bachelor for long." Olivia's smile grew wide when she heard everything they were saying. She clasped Alex's arms tightly as they walked forward. Amidst the happy atmosphere, a cold and calm voice suddenly spoke out, "I really commend someone who is willing to accept a lady whose previous husband encountered misfortune on their wedding night. Aren't you afraid the same fate will befall you, Alexander Gray?" The voice wasn't loud but was audible enough to drown out the noise and reach the ears of Alex and Olivia. "Silence!" Alex went berserk and yelled at the crowd. His originally handsome face distorted with anger. A hush fell upon the hall as the crowd were in shock. Who dared to cause trouble at such a high-end place? They all turned to the direction the voice had come from. Behind the crowd, Kian was staring at the couple with a sharp gaze. His hands were linked behind his coat and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned colder as if a few degrees of temperature had dropped. They were all so shocked that some even shuddered and those standing close to him took a few steps back. Who is this young man? Why does he have such a powerful aura? "Kian?" Alexander recognized him and exclaimed in shock. "Weren't you executed years ago? How can you still stand before me?" Back then, his family had spent a lot of resources and pulled some strings to have Kian sentenced to death. How did he survive? Why did he never know about this until now? Olivia was also shocked. Even with the heavy makeup on her face, the paleness was quite visible. But it was only for a minute before she quickly regained her composure and called out softly, "I didn't expect you to still be alive, Kian. Where have you been all these years? Why didn't you bother to contact me? Do you know how worried I have been and how I have cried myself to sleep every night?" She even reached for a tissue to dab at her face and wipe off nonexistent tears. Kian smiled coldly and his expression turned darker. If he didn't already know Olivia's true colors, he might have believed her. Who was she trying to fool? Did she forget how she stood by that day and watched her father ruthlessly order people to break his legs? Yes, their marriage was an arranged one but at that time, he had thought if she was just willing to plead to remain with him, he would find a way to sort out his troubles and get out of the prison. But she just stood by and watched him suffer. Since she wants to play, two can play the game. "Why then are you getting married again? Is your faith in me so fickle? Besides, I am back now. You don't have to marry that clown." Olivia's smile froze. How can Kian be so foolish? How could he blatantly insult Alexander in front of everyone? Does he know tides have changed in the city during his absence? "What did you just say?" Alex was enraged. He pointed a finger and stomped a foot on the stage in anger. "You pathetic rapist! You are nothing but a waste and you think you are worthy of being by Olivia's side." Kian's fingers clenched by his side but no change was observed on his expression. "Five years ago, you were at least a nouveau riche. Now, you are not even fit to be amongst the beggars in the slums. How dare you compare yourself to me? Kneel down and apologize right away!"

In Valoria Prime city, Gray's family was one of the top two leading families. Over the years, their connections and wealth had accrued so immensely they now had a nearly unshakable influence.So even if anything happens to Kian now, no one will hold them to it. And since Kian dared to cause trouble at Alexander's wedding, he definitely won't let him off."Your family has created such a grand scene today," Kian effortlessly waved his fingers at the well decorated hall. "But unfortunately, you are still not worthy enough to be by Olivia's side.""Tsk," Alex shook his head and looked at him like he was looking at the greatest fool in the world. He turned around and walked back to the stage proudly."You are so ignorant that you don't know during your absence, my family has gradually grown more powerful in Valoria Prime. We are akin to a god now and you..."He turned to Kian and pointed at him arrogantly, "—you are just a lowlife! A wretched criminal! It is only right that you bow to me!"

Kian took long strides towards the Bentley Continental GT that was parked outside the hotel. In a profound voice, he asked, "What happened?" "Sir, my men have found the whereabouts of that lady," Wesley began to report to him carefully. "Her name is Savannah Wilson. She is the daughter of a third-class family in Valoria Prime." 'Savannah?' Kian repeated inwardly. He couldn't remember much about the lady from that night as he had never met her before until that unfortunate day. "After that incident," Wesley continued. "The Wilson's family were afraid of being implicated so they disowned Savannah's family and removed them from the family lineage." "Not long after, her father was accused of a misfortune that happened at the family's company and claimed the lives of some employees. He is in prison now and her mother could only make ends meet by selling groceries at the local market." "Miss Savannah herself is now a music teacher at a local school. But just now, her son was abdu

The next second, Kian walked in and his aura was so overwhelming, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a sense of fear and he took a few steps back."W—who are you?" He stuttered but no one responded.Kian's eyes fell on the little boy in the cage who was still stunned and frightened.His heart trembled again. The eyes... The hair... The face... The boy looked as if they had been made from the same mold. He looked just like his younger self!Kian didn't need a soothsayer to tell him the boy was his. But when his eyes trailed to the fingerprints on the red spot on his cheek, his eyes shook coldly.He quickly went to the edge of the dog cage, fiddled with the lock and opened it. Then he stretched a palm and spoke in a soft tone he has never used before,"Come... No one will hurt you. I'm here now."Maybe because Noah felt that although this man had a hard facial expression, he didn't look as cruel as that old geezer over there, so he took the palm and let Kian lead him out.Wesley, who was

Kian watched Savannah turn away and walked off with his son. His fingers clenched by his side as he realized he had classified things as too simple. The suffering and humiliation she endured because of him couldn't be changed by his own will. And the so-called compensation he offered just now was his own way of seeking peace of mind. If he didn't already have a son with her, it would be fine. But now, everything was too complicated. He got into his car and pondered on what to do. Then he took out a card from his pocket and handed it over to Wesley. "Find a way to give this card to Savannah and make sure she accepts it." "Yes sir," Wesley nodded and left the car promptly. He collected the car key and drove all alone to the capital prison in Valoria Prime city. If he wants to seek Savannah's forgiveness, he has to start with her parents. Her father had been framed because he had lost the protection of the Wilson's family. Saving him now might be a turning point. As soon as he got

Kian's face changed slightly and he shook his head at them coldly. "No one dares to point a gun at me in this country. Not even you. You won't be able to bear the consequences of your actions!"He has fought tirelessly for the peace of this country for five years and now he is being held at gunpoint in his own hometown. How ironic!"Who do you think you are to act so recklessly in prison? I have never seen anyone as arrogant and ignorant as you are," Jeff sneered. "Daring to threaten me with consequences? You really have a big ego!"He raised two fingers at Kian and went on to say, "Attempting to break into the prison and assaulting an officer, these two charges will get you killed. You worthless piece of waste, get him!"The two guards took out handcuffs and charged towards Kian, ready to apprehend him. The latter's eyes darkened with anger and he was just about to take action when—VROOM!A luxurious car with an official license plate drove in at a great speed. It came to a stop bes

I intended to give you all time but you keep digging your graves!"SPLAT!His foot rose and he stomped on Jeff's head viciously. A crack sound resonated as Jeff's skull was crushed by the foot.

"It has nothing to do with you," Savannah responded tautly. Her face was cold with anger and she wanted nothing more for the line to move quickly so she could get out of that place.Margaret chuckled slyly and twirled some hair strands between her fingers. "I am the bank manager. How can it have nothing to do with me?""And I'll tell you this. People like you have no right to be here. You have no money yet you still stand in line and delay other important customers. I have the right to kick you out! Besides, everyone knows you were raped."Savannah's chest heaved with anger as she covered Noah's ears. How can this stupid woman have no regard for a child and still say such vulgar words? That too in the public!Margaret noticed her actions and rolled her eyes. With a false smile, she raised her tone, "I am only being concerned as an old coursemate. Why don't you know how to appreciate good people?"Savannah's face turned pale. That topic was a sore wound in her heart that has never heal

All eyes turned to the entrance immediately. At the same time, a sharp and piercing sound resounded in the air.PLOP!"Argh!" the security guards let out heart-wrenching screams as two ballpoint pens pierced their hands accurately and blood oozed out. They staggered back instantly.Amidst the shocked gaze of the crowd, Kian walked in."Who is he?""He looks quite familiar.""Wait!" Someone shouted. "Isn't he the same man that was involved in that sex scandal with Savannah?""Yes, that's him. Why is he here?""I even attended his wedding banquet with the Sinclair's daughter," someone whispered amongst the crowd."Uncle..." The little boy shrank in his mother's arms and sobbed out.Kian felt a tinge of pain in his heart and tried to comfort him, "Don't cry... I'm here now. I'll—""Why are you here?"

THUD!THUD!THUD!Each step Brax's disciple took forward made the ground tremble and the stones on the grass clattered against each other. It was almost like when a giant was walking.Not to mention that this disciple is very sturdy and heavily built, the sword on his shoulder must weigh more than a hundred pounds.He really gave off an oppressive aura that was certain to scare the enemy. After all, he was also a martial arts expert who was no less weaker than Theron.However after taking a few steps forward, he suddenly came to a stop. His brows furrowed in confusion as he looked at the people in front of him.Aren't these people of the Sacred Shadow sect supposed to be cowering in fear now? Isn't this weak, an old bastard supposed to be on his knees pleading for his life to be spared? Why does it seem like contrary to what was expected, these people seem not to have an ounce of fear at all?There was no expression of fear on their faces. If he didn't know better, he would say they w

Although the faces of their assailants were hooded that unfortunate day, the disciple could remember there was something familiar about the leader of the hoodlums. Now he knows why. The leader of those hoodlums the other day was none other than Brax!"You old bastard, how dare you talk so arrogantly?!" The disciple couldn't hold himself back and directly yelled at Brax.There was no proof or evidence but he was very certain the leader of the assailants that day was this evil Brax!Brax turned to his direction when he heard his angry words. He arched a brow and sneered, "Theron, I heard you have some difficulty training and you are critically injured. Seeing you standing now, I assume your injuries are almost healed now?"The provocation in his words was obvious. Theron's face reddened with anger and he growled, "Brax, are you seeking death?!"CLING!Without waiting for a response, Theron grabbed a beautifully crafted steel spear from the weapons rack and fiercely thrusted the weapon t
0249: Rules Are Meant To Be Broken
Then if a low level sect which has previously won the first stage also goes ahead to win the second stage which is the battle of the sect masters, they will replace the high level sect that lost and even have the chance to take over the sect.This was a huge opportunity for the low level sects. Who didn't want to climb up the ladder and become prominent? Thus, the low level sects began preparations.Eyes fell on the Sacred Shadow sect which was already a topic of rumours. According to the rumours, it was the weakest and easiest target for the low level sects. But if any of the low level sect was to go against Augustus Vane, their sect must have first won the sect disciples battle. Because of this, days after the announcement of the Sects contest spread, the remaining twenty five disciples of the Sacred Shadow sect were ambushed and attacked.Only Cyprus, who was too occupied taking care of Augustus Vane and rarely stepped out of the sect, was spared. The remaining disciples of the s
0248: A Friendly Sects Contest
In the past, in a bid to cover up the truth about the sect's condition and his illness, Augustus had agreed with his disciples not to receive any guests into the sect.They simply refused all guests. So this unexpected and sudden visit from Brax was bad news. Usually, the disciples guarded the main entrance of the sect hall day and night to prevent intruders.Of course, people who might have been suspicious might have tried to break in but thinking about the fact that what if the sect's master Augustus Vane wasn't injured like the rumours say, it would cause huge trouble for them and their sect.It was because of the fear of bringing trouble upon themselves that Augustus' illness had managed to remain a secret for ages and only spread as little as the rumours could go without proof.But today, because of Kian's display and teaching, most of the disciples who were supposed to be guarding the sect were attracted and distracted. Therefore, there was no one guarding the sect as usual whic
0247: The Dark Legion Sect
Fine, he said he joined the military but at the least, he would have just achieved the rank of a Sergeant now. But reaching the apex of martial arts and achieving the war god level seemed very unbelievable?Augustus sighed as he thought of this. He might have been bedridden for more than a decade but he had once been at a peak level also. He is a grandmaster himself. He knows how hard it is to level up in the martial arts world.Augustus is not a genius and it took him more than forty years to become the grandmaster he is now. It will take a genius half of those years to achieve the same rank.What about the former leader of the Martial Arts Alliance that was killed? He was a supreme Heavenly Warrior. He looked like he was seventy and had so much vigor but he was already over eighty years old.Among the other well-known heavenly warriors also, the youngest one was at least forty years old. The Legendary King of War however was already at the war god level. This level is similar to the
0246: A Weak Scholar
To think that they would be able to see that supreme figure with their own eyes like this was shocking. The disciples of the Sacred Shadow sect were in disbelief as they looked at Kian in a daze. It felt surreal.Cyprus, who was standing beside Augustus Vane, couldn't control his emotions. He trembled in joy. He just had a duel with Kian and was even fortunate to receive guidance from him.If what Master Augustus just said is really true then the fight with Kian would be the greatest honor Cyprus has ever received in his life.There was silence in the yard as all the disciples watched Kian eagerly, impatiently waiting for a response. A confirmation... Anything...But Kian remained calm and gave no response. Their patience gradually wore out. They exchanged a look amongst themselves. What's going on?After a moment of contemplation, Kian turned to Wesley, "Do me a favor and run an errand for me."Since he was going to expose his identity, he needs to provide some convincing evidence so
0245: He Was Supreme
Although everyone had just witnessed the strength of Kian's combative power, they still found it hard to believe that he could have actually attained such rank at a young age."Haha! A heavenly warrior?" Wesley suddenly burst into laughter as if he had just heard the funniest joke of the century.Everyone exchanged a look amongst themselves wondering what was so funny. Wesley laughed until tears came out from the corner of his eyes. Finally, he stopped, holding his stomach that was beginning to hurt from laughing too much."My Lord, His Majesty has personally killed at least ten heavenly warriors!"AH!Gasps echoed in the courtyard. The disciples looked at Kian like he was a demon and they all shuddered. Wesley's sentence was as light as a gentle breeze but the force behind it was not one to be reckoned with.Normally, it is difficult to kill even someone who has achieved the peak rank of the Martial Battle Master level which was even a lower rank compared to Martial Battle Warrior, M
0244: Recite The Oath
"Master, please don't talk like that. I'll really feel bad!" Someone from the crowd shouted."Since the moment we enter this sect, we have pledged our allegiance to you.""Yes, who will recite the oath with me?"Kian looked up in surprise as the disciples stepped forward and placed their left palms on their chest. Their loud voices echoed in the courtyard as they recited their oath."We have become the disciples of the Sacred Shadow sect today! To live or die together! To advance or retreat together! To defeat or surrender together!"The disciples dropped their hands with a smile. Someone chose that moment to say, "Master is our teacher for a day but our father for a lifetime!""Yes!" Everyone behind him cheered.Kian was pleasantly surprised and relieved. It's good to know that all this time that Augustus has been suffering, he has never been alone. He's got loyal people around him to bear and carry the weight of his pain with them. All these years, these people supported and formed
0243: Sexual Orientation
To think that from the beginning to that moment, Kian only used his physical strength. He didn't even use any internal energy. He has been suppressing his internal energy. He had suppressed his strength and internal energy, lowering himself to Cyprus' rank.However, even then, Cyprus still couldn't resist at all. He didn't even get the chance to touch a hair on Kian's head and was completely defeated.What kind of rank has Kian attained exactly? What was the true level of his strength? Cyprus dared not even imagine or think of it.Not only him, everyone else in the courtyard except Wesley were in a daze. They were reflecting and analyzing Kian's moves. They were also trying to comprehend his definition of the true nature of the spear techniques.Needless to say, even Augustus Vane who had been practicing martial arts for decades has learnt and benefited greatly from Kian's teaching."I, Cyprus of the Sacred Shadow sect, pay my respects to you!"Cyprus, now in a pitiful state, suddenly
