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.

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.

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..."

Grimm and the other two elders who opposed the proposal had displeased and grim expressions on their faces. But Silas Nightingale paid them no attention. In his own opinion, the ten elders that chose to support his proposal and stand on his side were enough to completely defeat this masked man."Attack with no mercy!" Silas' eyes turned icy as he shouted fiercely. His words were a clear command to the other elders.Kill with no mercy!BOOM!Silas emanated a powerful murderous aura that was enough to make people tremble as he stormed towards Kian. He moved at such a lightning speed people could barely see his feet. Just then, something unexpected happened. Grimm had unsheathed his long sword and rushed down to the ring. The two other elders had also followed him down."Two of you, attack!" Grimm commanded in a low tone, brandishing his sword in the air.SWISH!The long blade surged forward and slashed at the throat of the nearest elder. The sound of slicing and piercing through fles

Ambrose Darkmore thought long and hard before speaking. Eventually, he raised his grim face and said, "I agree with Silas' proposal."As soon as he spoke, a member of the Divine Sword sect immediately countered his decision, "Master, this is not right. It is inappropriate to—"Ambrose Darkmore's face darkened, and he snapped back in an icy tone without even allowing the man to complete his words, "Shut up! You have no right to question my decision!"The man's face turned red and shrunk back into his seat. He dared not speak anymore. Just then, another elder raised his hand. "I agree with Silas' proposal. It is time to elect a new leader for the alliance."Another elder with a huge scar nodded and raised his head. The scar on his face widened as he looked down at the ring. "Kieran is powerful. His injuries are certainly not that serious. They shouldn't affect him much.""Silas, I agree.""I also agree.""..."Each of the elders spoke one after the other, and soon, the voting results w
0317: Underhanded Tactics
"Silas, why go to such lengths?" Roland Harrington suddenly stepped forward with a dark face. "The alliance does need a new leader but why the sudden rush?"His words filled the hearts of many of Kian's new supporters with joy. They didn't expect that someone from the aristocratic Harrington's family would suddenly speak up for Kian.Not just someone. The patriarch of the family himself. At least, the aristocratic family also saw the injustice unfolding. Meanwhile, in the tent allocated to the members of the Sacred Shadow sect, Wesley had a strange expression on his face as he looked straight ahead at the middle-aged man who had just spoken up.It was strange indeed. The aristocratic Harrington's family was actually pleading for the general?!If the old man from the aristocratic Harrington's family knew that the person he was trying to plead for and win over was Kian Blackwood, the same person most if not all the aristocratic families wanted to eliminate...Would he stand there tall
0316: Eager To Meet Their Ancestors
Slowly and gradually, voices rose in the square. Kian's previous performance had been so stunning. He had quickly captivated the hearts of many spectators. Now, there were a lot of people willing to support him and speak up for him. Even many disciples of the Heavenly Flame sect who were sitting behind Silas Nightingale had grim expressions, but no one spoke up.In the martial arts community, only strength is truly revered. Kian had already earned their respect through his actions. So, they were inadvertently dissatisfied with their leader's behavior. They looked at each other and began to whisper among themselves.Even if the elders see Kian as a threat and want to eliminate him, couldn't they have waited till Kian recovered, and then they could face him openly. "Silas, does it not seem a bit inappropriate to do this now?" Augustus Vane's facial expression had darkened as he questioned angrily. Even the members of the Sacred Shadow sect had all begun to glare at Silas. It wasn't
0315: If The Former Leader Was Alive...
While it may seem like the top aristocratic families of the Cascadia were equally powerful and reigning, only people at core positions like the patriarchs of the families including Roland knew the truth. The aristocratic Blackwood's family was not just the number one aristocratic family in Cascadia for nothing. They had long surpassed the other aristocratic families by a huge margin. Which was why even if some aristocratic families were offended with them regarding the attitude of that bastard from the Blackwood's family, they couldn't do anything much to harm the family. The patriarchs of all the aristocratic families also knew that it was only possible for the Blackwood's to be in this state because of the support of that mysterious force behind them. Roland Harrington had tried every means to extract information about those forces from the Blackwood's family. But that cunning old man, Mortimer Blackwood kept his mouth tightly short, refusing to reveal information about them
0314: The Real Top Tier Forces
Everyone could see Kian laughing carelessly and wiping the blood that was trickling down his mouth, but no one knew he was actually cursing inwardly. "Damn! If I knew acting was so exhausting, I would have asked Vivienne to give me some acting lessons," he mumbled to himself. With his physical strength alone, he could easily defeat Calvin and the other second tier leaders. Not only them, even if the elders of the council, including Silas Nightingale, Ambrose, and Grimm, decide to attack him simultaneously, he could still defeat them! After all, his martial arts level was that of a martial war god. A martial artist at the peak level of the war god was different from other levels and beyond human comprehension. But if this were to be revealed to the public, it would certainly cause uproar. Actually, Kian doesn't care if his identity is revealed to the elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance Council or the aristocratic families of Cascadia. What he truly cares about is find
0313: Master Is The Strongest
The entire square was in utter silence. The whole elders council and the spectators were stunned speechless. At that moment, Silas Nightingale and other elders at the elders' council gathering felt more apprehensive towards Kian. A sense of fear slowly crept into their hearts. An overwhelming sense of fear. Martial arts training was just like studying. Its practitioners have their own advantages, disadvantages, specialities, strengths, and weaknesses. Some martial artists were excellent at attacking with fierce ferocity and strength, but their defenses always tend to be weak. Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and Grimm all belonged to that set of martial artists. On the other hand, some martial arts masters like several others in the elders' council were superb at defense, but their attacking abilities weren't so good. It was important to note that among the second tier leaders that Kian just killed, one of them was a sect leader who was revered for his defensive specialt
0312: Not Just A Prodigy!
THUD! THUD! THUD! The lifeless bodies of the first three second tier leaders that were used as sacrificial lambs were sent flying in different directions. The bodies hit the ground, and blood quickly pooled beneath them. At the same time, the remaining second tier leaders attacked. Punches, palm strikes, swords, and even a staff; all weapons channeled with powerful forces descended down on Kian. "So what if you are a martial arts prodigy?" Calvin laughed as he attacked. "Today, I'll bring you down on your knees and turn the tables—" Before he could even complete the word 'tables', the smile on his face froze. A horrifying realization dawned on him. Shouldn't Kian be bleeding from all the weapons and pleading for mercy now? How could the masked bastard still be looking at him tauntingly?! "Tsk! You foolish old man! You think you know it all," Kian clicked his tongue and spoke loud enough for only the second tier leaders to hear him. Calvin's eyes dilated at his words. His compan
0311: As Good As Dead!
The remaining second tier leaders didn't hesitate to charge forward. They unleashed their full strength as they stormed towards Kian. The ring was big and wide but for these furious martial arts masters, closing the distance between them and Kian was easy. They moved swiftly, reaching him in a blink of an eye. SWOOSH! The sharp slice sounds in the air echoed as they threw their strongest punch, others kicks and some their weapons. At that moment, Calvin's eyes shone with a fierce glint. Just as he was reaching Kian, he slowed down his punch, twisted his body, extended a leg and delivered a powerful kick. BANG! BANG! BANG! The loud thud sounds resounded three times as the three closest second tier leaders to Kian including the female leader who had protested earlier were caught off guard and struck hard in the back! "Argh!" "Ah!" "Ugh!" They groaned consecutively and stumbled forward, directly into the path of Kian's spear! "Calvin, you old bastard!" "What are you doing
