2024-07-17 15:22:59Kian 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 to the prison and parked his car, a middle-aged man with neatly combed hair and a chubby face walked up to him with two guards. At this hour, the warden, Jeff was supposed to be on a date but he received a call from his superiors at the last minute and has to wait for this young man who looks so reserved and haughty. His date was canceled and he couldn't help feeling resentful. But due to his relationship with his superiors, he feigned a smile and extended his hand to greet Kian. "I am Jeff, the warden of this prison. What brings you here, Mr Blackwood?" "Searching for someone," Kian gave him a curt reply calmly with his hands behind his back. Jeff awkwardly withdrew his hand with a hint of anger. In this prison, he is the boss! Even if someone has connections, they still have to be polite when coming here. This man with the last name Blackwood delayed his precious date and won't even give him face. How arrogant! "Well, Mr Blackwood, who have you come for?" His expression gradually turned cold and displeased. "Nathaniel Wilson." Upon hearing this name, Jeff's eyes widened and his brows knitted. There were more than five hundred prisoners in the entire prison and he could only remember a few of their names. Nathaniel Wilson happens to be one of those few. He was the second son of the Wilson's family and the former CEO of the family's company. He was later expelled by his family and arrested in connection to the deaths of some employees which had occurred while working on one of his projects. He was then imprisoned five years ago. On the day of his arrival, a certain big shot had paid Jeff $400,000 and asked him to make sure Nathaniel Wilson has a comfortable stay in the prison. So for the past five years, he had arranged for people to give Nathaniel a special treatment from time to time. Just two days ago, he had instructed them to brutally beat him up. Now he was lying on the floor of his cell with injuries all over his body. Jeff didn't expect this young man would actually request to see him. If he dares to offend that big shot, he won't be able to bear the consequences. Besides, he already accepted bribes from that person, so if he falls now, they will fall together. Under no circumstances will he allow this young man to see Nathaniel. So with a fake smile back on his face, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr Blackwood. That person is a high-risk prisoner specially assigned to our prison for supervision. No one is allowed to visit him." "I think you might have misunderstood my words," Kian looked at Jeff with a little, cold lopsided smile. "I'm not here to visit him. I am here to take him away." Jeff's smile disappeared and his face changed dramatically. "Mr Blackwood, this joke is too expensive! Nathaniel still has five more years left out of his ten-year sentence. How can he be released now?" If Nathaniel leaves that prison, he would not only lose his career but his life! "I don't care what connections you have, please leave now or don't blame me for being impolite!" The person who had tasked him to be in charge of Nathaniel was from the Gray's family, one of the two top families in the city. Compared to them, he would rather offend his superiors and as for this young man in front of him, he doesn't care! "You have..." Kian looked down at the clean cut wristwatch on his wrist. "—less than three minutes to bring Nathaniel Wilson to me." His tone was firm and left no room for questioning. "You are too shameless!" Jeff's face darkened and a sinister thought flashed in his mind. He pointed at Kian and shouted, "This man broke into the prison and tried to kidnap a prisoner. Arrest him for me!" At that instant, Jeff already had everything figured out. He was going to shift the blame and hand this man over to the Grays to deal with. He will understand what it means to mess with the wrong family next time and won't recklessly come to the prison again to take someone away. As the chief warden, it had become Jeff's instinct to detain people. Even if he could tell that this young man wasn't an ordinary person given the fact that he could make his superiors give him backdoor access to the prison and also drove an expensive car. So what? Such an unknown person can't be compared to the Gray's family. He couldn't be more powerful than them. Nathaniel was the one they had specifically asked him to take care of so he couldn't let this Mr Blackwood take him away. As for what would happen next, he didn't need to worry about it. CLICK! CLICK! The two guards standing beside Jeff raised their guns and aimed it at Kian.

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.

"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.

"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

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

Has his brain stopped working?""What a shameless scum!""Is the standards of Horizon Gallery dropping to the extent that anyone can just waltz in?"The crowd's voices grew louder, pointing fingers and openly criticizing. Savannah’s face turned paler with each word, her eyes reddening with anger and humiliation. She turned to Kian with a fierce look."Who is your woman? If Anthony doesn't have the right to covet me, who does? You?"Her voice shook with fury as she stepped closer, her words harsh and filled with bitterness."Do you still not understand? You ruined my life! I am at the lowest point today all because of your actions. My mother can’t show her face in society, and my father is locked up. It is all because of you, bastard!"Kian’s jaw clenched, but he remained silent.

His expensive tuxedo was also covered in different footprints. He was in a sorry state. "You worthless piece of trash!" Roland Harrington before wiping off the sweat on his forehead and turning to Kian.In an instant, the furious expression on his face changed as he turned around. What replaced it was a sweet, sickly smile. "Master... No, leader... I sincerely apologize for my grandson's ignorance," he apologized in a low and submissive tone. "He doesn't understand the rules, but I have already taught him a lesson. Please don't hold him to it."Master?Leader?Tristan was taken aback while Charlotte Lane was terrified.

Although people couldn't see his smile, they heard it in his voice as he spoke, "Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to greet me with such a grand gesture on our first meeting or what do you think, Tristan?"His sarcastic and mocking tone snapped Tristan out of his daze immediately. Who the hell does this bastard think he is? How dare he assume a whole heir like him would bow to a lowly bastard?!Tristan flared up immediately, his face turning a deep shade of red. "You bastard!

So even if everyone present, including Charlotte, mistakes his anger for concern and his love for her, to Roland, his grandson's anger was justifiable."Just send someone to handle it. Do you really need to create such a scene here and ask me?'' Roland Harrington scoffed in exasperation."That guy has a strong background!" Charlotte, who had been silent, chose that moment to speak. Her voice was filled with grievance and anger. "Not only did he hurt me, he also nearly crippled the young master of the Faye's family!"The crowd gasped in surprise. What? There was someone that would actually dare to commit these atrocities without any fear for his life?!"Not only that," Charlotte hadn't finished speaking.

The young man looked terrified out of his wits and stuttered, unable to utter a complete sentence.BANG!Footsteps echoed as the five muscular bodyguards in black surrounded him, giving him no room for escape!THUD!The young man trembled and collapsed to the ground on his knees with a loud thud.

But then Kian thought about it. Now that he is in the imperial capital, his ultimate goal is to uproot those forces behind the aristocratic Blackwood's family that are hiding in the dark.To make headway, he would need a weighty position in the capital. The position of the ancient martial arts alliance leader fits that perfectly. And if things get too complicated, he could just hand over the affairs of the alliance to Augustus Vane. With this thought in mind, Kian's lips curved beneath his mask delightfully. He no longer hesitated. His pale face gained some colors as he clasped his hands in gratitude to the crowd's cheers and bowed.His humble acceptance made the crowd go wild and cheered even louder. He raised his head and stumbled off the ring.As soon as he got out, Rolad Harrington rushed over with a group of some other members and quickly surrounded him."Congratulations, alliance leader!"

This is all because of this old rascal Grimm. Why did he suddenly withdraw from the contest without a reason?! The position of the ancient martial arts alliance leader was something they all wanted to vie for, although not through unscrupulous methods like Silas Nightingale and his allies. But now, with the public's current opinion, how could they possibly fight for it? If someone were to truly defeat all of them and become the leader, then they would have to endure the disdain of the public's disdain for the rest of their lives! "I also withdraw from the contest!" Another female elder who had been in alliance with Grimm and was fighting back Silas Nightingale's allies earlier raised her voice just before jumping out of the ring. "I won't compete either!"

Ambrose Darkmore trembled all over. He raised his head with the last strength he could muster and locked eyes with the person who spoke. His eyes shook when he saw who it was—Roland Harrington.

His frustration surged so that his heart ached more. He spat out a mouthful of blood helplessly before—THUD!His lifeless body collapsed on the ground with a dull thump.

He hasn't done anything wrong, so why was he being shunned and labeled as a disgrace?!"It wasn't me! I didn’t do anything! I didn’t—" He roared, desperate to make one last attempt at fixing his ruined reputation.SWOOSH!SWISH!WHOOSH!...All he received in response was a barrage of shoes, water bottles, drink bottles, snacks, and other objects raining down on him."Boo!!!!" Some spectators even ridiculed him. They all witnessed the truth of what happened, didn’t they? There was such undeniable evidence against him, yet he was still trying to prove his innocence! He is truly shameless to the core!In the ring, Ambrose Darkmore's face turned ashen once more. He froze in a spot, not even trying to dodge.

SWISH! Ambrose Darkmore thrusted his sword forward. His attack was so fierce that his blade pierced right through Kian's left shoulder!But at that same time, another elder was attacking Kian from behind.
