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.

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.

"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.

"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? You are really asking for death!""Holloway's family right?" Kian arched his brows. "I suppose we are old acquaintances."As he was speaking, he was walking towards Rupert Holloway, one step at a time.

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. My Montclair's family won't let you go after this!" Calista finally found her voice and managed to speak. But her face was deathly pale and her voice trembled as she spoke.Kian raised his teacup and slipped

Wesley's eyes turned cold and he sidestepped the middle-aged man's advance. Without hesitating, he stretched out his hand and swung the dagger forward.SQUELCH!"Ah!" Calista shrieked in shock as blood spouted out immediately. Her uncle clutched his bloodstained neck, staggering back in shock. His eyes filled with pain and fear."You bastard... What did you—" He tried to speak but ended up collapsing to the ground with a loud thud leaving a bloody trail beneath him. 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. The entire room was in shock."Ah!!!!""Argh!!!!"After some seconds, the people from the provincial families came to their senses and began to scream. Blood had splashed on some of the younger members of the Montclair's family so they were extremely terrified and shuddered uncontrollably.They had thought Wesley was simply threatening their uncle.

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.

"Who are you?" Kian smiled at the old man calmly without any trace of annoyance."My name is Rupert. I'm from the second provincial family, Holloway," The old man snorted scornfully."My apologies for not recognizing such an important figure," Kian lowered his head and bowed slightly."You uncivilized people from these small cities don't know a single thing about hierarchy or respect," Magnus sneered and pointed at Greg Kennedy. "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.
