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

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.

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

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

"Everyone present here today from the provincial families has to leave one arm behind. Then we can call it even."BOOM!Kian spoke so casually but the words descended like a thunder storm and caused uproar among the crowd. "Kian Blackwood, aren't you going too far?!" Rupert Holloway snarled furiously, glaring at Kian with a strong killing intent. "Daring to offend the provincial families blatantly like this?

He was in excruciating pain and couldn't make a sound. His entire body was convulsing and curling from the pain.Wesley threw him off and wiped his fingers with a box of tissues that he grabbed from the table, a disgusted look on his face."Killing someone is something but you guys are going too far.

He convulsed for some seconds before giving up a ghost.From the moment Wesley made a move to killing the middle-aged man, he only used about five minutes.

Before everyone, Kian casually flicked his fingers but only Wesley noticed the warning. He unclenched his fists and lowered his head, the killing intent immediately disappeared. However, a chilling expression appeared on his face."Please help yourself to some tea," Kian beckoned with his fingers, smiling gently. "Let's not waste any more time," Rupert Holloway sneered with a frown, obviously not moved by Kian's hospitality. "Hurry up and tell us how to contact that wealthy tycoon!""Yes, don't waste our time and don't try to beat around the bush. Whatever needs to be known will be discovered eventually," Dorian met Kian's eyes as he spoke. "Just tell us what we need to know and make everyone happy.""No, that's not right," Kian shook his head slightly, ignoring how they all exchanged a look.

"Especially that bald man.""You bastard..." Greg no longer had to restrain himself since the general was there. He stood and glared at Magnus, making a move to charge at him."See what I'm talking about? Barbarians!" Magnus snickered hatefully, making an expression at Greg that made him feel like a clown."Greg, don't be rude to our guests," Kian didn't make any move and simply met Magnus' eyes, calmly gesturing to Greg to sit.Greg Kennedy looked at Kian in shock. He was taken aback. These people from the provincial families are very arrogant and abusive. If

No one said a word.So the muscular man sat up and took over, "The Business Association is not being unreasonable so how about this, Magistrate Cody? We don't necessarily need to meet or see Kian Blackwood."Magistrate Cody arched his brows. What are these crafty people up to now? He didn't have to think further because the muscular man immediately explained."You all are more familiar with that mysterious investor. The tycoon who had helped you all get a share. Introduce that tycoon to the Business Association of the Southern region instead. We will discuss with him and then, we don't have to pursue the assets or properties left behind by those families.
