2024-07-17 15:23:39Kian'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. The latter's eyes darkened with anger and he was just about to take action when— VROOM! A luxurious car with an official license plate drove in at a great speed. It came to a stop beside Kian and the doors flew open. A middle-aged man with a lean figure and sharp features jumped out of the car in a hurry. He looked anxious and exceeded an aura of authority which made him appear imposing. Upon seeing this man, Jeff trembled all over and his eyes widened incredulously. He quickly walked up to him with a fawning expression. "Senior Magistrate Cody! You should have sent a message to inform me in advance so I would have made arrangements for your arrival." Jeff's attitude towards this man was a complete contrast to how he had just treated Kian. After all, this man was Cody, the top Magistrate in the entire Valoria Prime city. Jeff has never seen him before in person aside from his appearances on the television. Cody always travels with a large entourage so he couldn't help but wonder why he has come to the prison alone. "Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?" Cody ignored him and shot a cold look at the guards behind. Jeff was confused and frightened upon hearing his words. In Valoria Prime, Cody was like a god. If he got angry, Jeff wouldn't have a place to bury himself. Before he could comprehend what was happening, Cody rushed over to Kian and knelt down on one knee. He bowed and apologized in a fearful tone, "Your highness, I have just learnt that you came to Valoria Prime and was even too late to escort you. Please punish me." Your highness? Jeff froze and his eyes bulged. Cody, the top magistrate, was actually kneeling in front of a man in his twenties and calling him 'Your Highness.' How could this be? When did such a strange title begin to exist in Valoria Prime? Could Cody have been deceived? "S—sir! Are you sure you have the right person?" Jeff jumped to conclusion. "This kid broke into the prison privately and tried to take a prisoner away unlawfully. I was just about to have him arrested." SMACK! Before he finished his sentence, Cody already slapped him hard. He had an expression that showed he was furious and would have eaten Jeff alive if it was possible. "You blind fool! Are you seeking death? How dare you forcefully accuse the war king of Valoria's army, Kian Blackwood? Has your brain stopped functioning?" The... The... Legendary King of War?! Jeff's face turned different shades of purple, red and then white as he turned as pale as a ghost. His uniform was immediately drenched with sweat. The guards beside him fell to their knees and dropped their guns. "Please forgive us, your highness!" They cried out in shock. Who didn't know the legendary king of war of Valoria army? The Valoria army was the country's ultimate weapon and the foundation of the entire nation. And the king of war... He was an existence that made the world tremble! These two famous titles were like thunderbolts from the sky that made Jeff's head spin in circles. He suddenly understood why Cody had knelt down. It wasn't because he was deceived or mistaken. It was because he had met the one with the greater power and authority! And he, Jeff, a lowly employee of the city's prison dared to slander Kian maliciously and attempted to arrest him. What a joke! There was only one punishment for his stupid mistake— death penalty. Jeff's legs wobbled and he fell to his knees. With tears streaming down his face, he cried, "Your highness, I deserve to die. I am so foolish and blind. I'll have Nathaniel brought out immediately." He had no courage to defend himself and could only pray inwardly that Kian wouldn't lower himself to his level and there would be a way for him to redeem himself. Kian didn't respond. His face was expressionless but he was holding a grudge. The issue with Savannah already made him annoyed. If it wasn't for Wesley sending Cody over, Jeff would already be a dead man. Soon, Nathaniel was brought out on a stretcher, looking almost unrecognizable and wrapped in bloody bandages. Cody's face changed and a shiver went down his spine. "What's going on?" "He... he... was... beaten by the head inmate... in the prison," Jeff trembled and stammered. He would never dare to say the truth. But how could Kian be so easily deceived? He has fought countless battles, met many people with different characters and already faced death severally so he could see through Jeff's lies. His eyes fell on Nathaniel's scarred body and he spat out coldly, "Who asked you to do this?" Before he came to the prison, the prison judge already informed the appropriate authorities. But this warden obstructed him, resorted to slandering him and even attempting to arrest him. This isn't something a mere warden would do unless... there was someone behind him. "I... I... I..." Jeff laid face flat on the ground, shuddering all over with extreme fear at the thought of death. There was this feeling that told him it was over for him and he had no more strength. But he managed to stutter, "It... was..."

"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

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.

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

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 words made everyone's eyes light up. True to his words, that haughty man must have been well prepared. If one family tries to take him down rashly, they might incur a heavy loss.But if three top families unite to take him down, then there is confidence that they will succeed. The Faye's family patriarch pondered on this and thought it was reasonable.After a moment, he nodded and looked up at his second son. "Fine, let's do it your way this time. Don't let me down."The young man nodded with a smile, "You can count on me. You are so wise."His obvious flattery pleased the patriarch so much that he looked at the disabled on bed and thought, 'Why have I never noticed how capable this second son is?'What an irony!

An hour had already passed and time was still running out. Under ordinary circumstances, it would be impossible to evacuate from such a huge five star hotel and restore things to their original state but when faced with a death ultimatum, the human brain has no limits.About an hour and half later, the entire hotel was completely empty. Everything that used to belong to Charlotte and the Lane's family had been taken out of the hotel. The five-star hotel was returned to its original state. The state it was in when Garrett was still in change. Kian and Wesley watched over the entire process.

Sophia couldn't hide her fury this time. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and glared at Wesley red-faced. But before she could lash out at him, Alvin stepped in between them."Mister, I apologize if you misunderstood my mistress' intentions. We do not have any intention to resell the necklace if that is what you are afraid of. This necklace is really precious to my Mistress and we'll pay any fair amount as long as you let us have it."Wesley stroked his chin. He looked at Sophia who was trying to inhale and exhale in a bid to calm herself. Feisty...He suddenly had an urge to tease her so he did just that. "I'm pretty curious. Does this mean your Mistress will be willing to pay twice of what we paid just to have the necklace?"Alvin lost all respect for Wesley and he snapped, "That's outrageous!
