2024-07-17 15:22:20The 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 still holding the blood stained knife, went to the middle-aged man and asked him coldly, "Did you hit him?" "You... What do you want to do? Do you know who I am?" The man was terrified and immediately yelled. He retreated subconsciously but still threatened, "I am the godson of the Montgomery's family. If you dare lay a finger on me, my godfather will wipe out your entire family! I'm giving you a chance to leave now. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk away later!" Felix has nursed a desire for Savannah for a long time knowing she has no money or background. Even if she still had the power of the Wilson's family, they would still have to be humble before his godfather who was the current leader of the underworld. So these two cannot be Savannah's people. And the death of his bodyguard could be retaliated later as long as they take the bait. But as soon as the words left his mouth, Wesley slapped him hard across the face. His face contorted in pain as he was sent flying towards a nearby sofa. One side of his face was immediately swollen and he howled in pain. Seeing this, Kian covered the eyes of the little boy and instructed Wesley coldly, "Finish him off." "No! No! No! I won't bother that bitch again. Please spare me! I have a lot of money!" Felix cried out as he left but Wesley was unmoved and already walked up to him. "People like you don't deserve to be forgiven." Before Felix could comprehend his words, he lifted his hand and directly stabbed his crotch. Felix's eyes bulged out in pain and he screamed. His body convulsed at the agony. He knew at that moment that he was never going to be able to perform as a man again. In that excruciating pain, he passed out. _________ On the streets, Savannah was in a disheveled state. She was sweating and staggering. Her eyes were red with tears and her hair was all over the place. As soon as she heard her son had gone missing from school, she went to the station and reported. But the cops stopped the investigation saying foolishly that her son hasn't been missing for twenty four hours and might have wandered off to play. She was already used to such a situation so she impatiently left and resolved to search for her son by herself. For years, she has only had Noah. If anything bad happens to him, she won't be able to die peacefully. VROOM! Her steps halted when a Bentley stopped by her side. The door opened and Kian, who was carrying Noah, came out. Their eyes collided. "Mommy!" Noah cried out joyfully and reached for her but she was oblivious to his actions. She was staring at Kian with a strong hatred that would make one wonder why he hasn't dropped dead under her deadly gaze. "It's you! You bastard!" She snapped back to reality and snatched her son away from his hands. She stepped back like she couldn't bear to breathe the same air as him and tears streamed down her face angrily. "Five years ago, you publicly humiliated me and ruined my life. Now you want to take my son away from me. How evil can you be!" If it wasn't for this man in front of her, her future would have been bright and her life would have turned out differently. She hates him so much and wishes she could kill him with her own hands. She only controlled her resentment because of her son but now seeing him again brought back all those painful memories. "I'm sorry," Kian told her quietly. He felt guilty for what he had done to Savannah five years ago. If it wasn't for him, she would just be another stranger, pursuing her dreams. But instead, she had to raise their son all alone. "Shut up!" Savannah snapped and trembled with anger. "How dare you apologize now? If it wasn't because of you, my life wouldn't have been ruined now. My father wouldn't have been framed and sent to prison. Do you think saying sorry can fix all you have done?" "Don't think of getting close to my son. If you dare lay your hands on him, I swear even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off." Kian was stunned at the hostility in her voice. He only wants to make things right but she obviously doesn't want to give him a chance to do so. Just then, the boy who had been clinging to his mother's neck suddenly whispered to her, "Mommy, it wasn't this uncle that took me away. He saved me from those bad guys..." Savannah was taken aback by his words. She suddenly felt helpless and shattered. Because of this man, she has been abandoned by her family. But now hearing her son even speak up for him, she felt like she had been abandoned by the whole world. She burst into tears again and Noah was scared. He didn't understand how he had upset his mother but he hugged her tightly and tried to comfort her. "Mommy, I'm sorry. I won't make you angry again next time." Looking at this scene, Kian knew even if he wanted to tell the boy that he was his father, he couldn't do so recklessly without resolving Savannah's grievances and anger towards him. "Can you give me a chance to make it up to you? I came back this time to apologize for what happened that night." "Make it up to me?" Savannah flared up. "Who do you think you are? Get lost! I don't want to ever see you again!"

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

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.

"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..."

Greg knew if he didn't do something, not only would these two meet their end, they would also drag him down with them! So—PLAK!He lifted his palm fiercely and gave director Jones another hard slap. The latter was still shouting self-righteously and was caught unaware."Sir—" He fell to the ground in confusion and held his cheek. Before he could speak further, he was barraged with kicks from all directions till he was all beaten up and could barely speak.Seeing this scene, Margaret's face turned pale and her knees wobbled in fear till she knelt.Then Greg wiped off the sweat from his brows and went to Kian. "Mr Blackwood, what should I do with these two?"Everyone was stunned. Greg had just addressed Kian respectfully, in an almost submissive tone. They looked at Kian with one question on their minds;'Who is this man?'Savannah was equally surprised. She looked at Kian with a complex gaze. To her, he was the man that ruined her life and violated her. A complete scumbag.But twice n
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0012: Tip Of The Iceberg
Upon hearing this, Savannah wavered a bit but there was still a bit of reluctance. Anthony must have felt this because his smile disappeared and he reminded her. "Your father's crime isn't something that can be easily overlooked with the help of a good attorney. We are talking about murder here. There are many people involved." Savannah's fingers clenched around the phone. No matter what they all say, her father is innocent. He doesn't deserve this. Anthony's intentions towards her aren't pure and he wouldn't do something like this without asking for something in return. But at that moment, Savannah decided if this could save her father, she would do anything. Kian, who was behind her, frowned. His expression turned cold as he had just everything the bastard said over the phone. Nathaniel Wilson had already been rescued from the prison so there was no way Anthony could help Savannah. He wanted to tell her just this. "Savannah—" "Shut up!" Before he could even start, he w

Anthony's eyes roamed over her sleeveless dress that draped elegantly over her body and accentuated her curves. His heart raced with desire. If his plan goes well, he will have this beauty writhing under him tonight. Just the thought of this was enough to make him feverish. He raised his palms and clapped. Right before everyone, a staff member stepped forward with a designer bag. The female socialites immediately recognized it as part of a recently released collection, priced over $100,000 for pre-order. "Here," Anthony collected the dazzling handbag and stretched it to Savannah. "This is for you... Will you be my girlfriend?" He didn't even get down on his knees. In his own opinion, the pianist he hired and this bag was already more than she was worth. Every other lady would jump at this opportunity to be his companion. "Isn't that Savannah Wilson from that middle class family? The one that was involved in that scandal. Didn't her family even kick her out after that incident

At this time, Kian had already staggered to the edge of the ring when he was hit with another fierce strike from Ambrose Darkmore. The blade slashed through his back and tore through his robe, revealing a trail of bloody line."Ugh!" He spewed a mouthful of blood and breathed laboriously. He was already critically injured. Seeing him in this state, Silas Nightingale was overjoyed and charged forward. "Keep it up! He's already at the end of his wits!"Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders were also delighted. They prepared to strike again and give Kian the final blow. Feeling the terrifying gusts of wind swirling around him, Kian arched a bloodied eyebrow. After being attacked for the nth time, he was now utterly battered. This act has been on for too long, it's time to put an end to it.So this time, he stood firm on the spot and didn't dodge. Panting heavily, he waited for Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders to close in on him. To the spectators, it appeared

The central square was in a somber atmosphere. The crowd's emotions stirred because of Roland. But Wesley, who the show was for, simply looked at the middle-aged man speechlessly.He couldn't help but ponder, 'Did the general hire this old man to play this dramatic role and add more fuel to the fire? Why is he performing so enthusiastically?'In the ring, Kian, who was supposedly beaten to the brink of death, felt his face twitch severally. 'Who is this person that's acting so dramatic? I didn’t hire anyone...'Even the facial expressions of Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders in the ring changed. They threw Roland grim looks and scoffed,"Why are you shouting so dramatically? Are you really so sad?!"If one didn't know better, they would have mistook Kieran for Roland's first son with the way he was wailing.Everyone knows the presence of Harrington's family at the square today was to recruit powerful martial artists for their family, but even if Kieran dies at

BANG!BANG!BANG!Just as Kian was about to tumble out of the ring in a bloody mess, Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders struck him again. Two of them dragged him back to the center of the ring, leaving behind a large trail of blood, which made the hearts of the spectators bleed even more.They didn't stop there and immediately pounced on him. Within the few minutes that they began their assault, Kian was already drenched in blood. He looked motionless and utterly defeated.Meanwhile, at the area that had been designated for the Dark Legion sect, which was now occupied by the representatives of the aristocratic Harrington's family, Roland Harrington was seething furiouslyHe was on the edge and visibly frustrated. At any rate, the masked man will obviously not survive! How could he lose a gem when he just found it? His eyes instinctively trailed from the ring to the section in the tent of the Sacred Shadow sect where Wesley was sitting. At this point, he couldn

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
