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

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..."

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

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.

They hid their tracks so well so how did he find out?Kian squinted at him; only a fool wouldn't see that he was acting like he was trying to hide something.His lips curled up coldly and he sneered, "Shut your mouth!

THUD!THUD!THUD!Each step Brax's disciple took forward made the ground tremble and the stones on the grass clattered against each other. It was almost like when a giant was walking.Not to mention that this disciple is very sturdy and heavily built, the sword on his shoulder must weigh more than a hundred pounds.He really gave off an oppressive aura that was certain to scare the enemy. After all, he was also a martial arts expert who was no less weaker than Theron.However after taking a few steps forward, he suddenly came to a stop. His brows furrowed in confusion as he looked at the people in front of him.Aren't these people of the Sacred Shadow sect supposed to be cowering in fear now? Isn't this weak, an old bastard supposed to be on his knees pleading for his life to be spared?

Although the faces of their assailants were hooded that unfortunate day, the disciple could remember there was something familiar about the leader of the hoodlums. Now he knows why. The leader of those hoodlums the other day was none other than Brax!"You old bastard, how dare you talk so arrogantly?!" The disciple couldn't hold himself back and directly yelled at Brax.There was no proof or evidence but he was very certain the leader of the assailants that day was this evil Brax!Brax turned to his direction when he heard his angry words. He arched a brow and sneered, "Theron, I heard you have some difficulty training and you are critically injured. Seeing you standing now, I assume your injuries are almost healed now?"The provocation in his words was obvious.

0249: Rules Are Meant To Be Broken
Then if a low level sect which has previously won the first stage also goes ahead to win the second stage which is the battle of the sect masters, they will replace the high level sect that lost and even have the chance to take over the sect.This was a huge opportunity for the low level sects. Who didn't want to climb up the ladder and become prominent? Thus, the low level sects began preparations.Eyes fell on the Sacred Shadow sect which was already a topic of rumours. According to the rumours, it was the weakest and easiest target for the low level sects. But if any of the low level sect was to go against Augustus Vane, their sect must have first won the sect disciples battle. Because of this, days after the announcement of the Sects contest spread, the remaining twenty five disciples of the Sacred Shadow sect were ambushed and attacked.Only Cyprus, who was too occupied taking care of Augustus Vane and rarely stepped out of the sect, was spared. The remaining disciples of the s
0248: A Friendly Sects Contest
In the past, in a bid to cover up the truth about the sect's condition and his illness, Augustus had agreed with his disciples not to receive any guests into the sect.They simply refused all guests. So this unexpected and sudden visit from Brax was bad news. Usually, the disciples guarded the main entrance of the sect hall day and night to prevent intruders.Of course, people who might have been suspicious might have tried to break in but thinking about the fact that what if the sect's master Augustus Vane wasn't injured like the rumours say, it would cause huge trouble for them and their sect.It was because of the fear of bringing trouble upon themselves that Augustus' illness had managed to remain a secret for ages and only spread as little as the rumours could go without proof.But today, because of Kian's display and teaching, most of the disciples who were supposed to be guarding the sect were attracted and distracted. Therefore, there was no one guarding the sect as usual whic
0247: The Dark Legion Sect
Fine, he said he joined the military but at the least, he would have just achieved the rank of a Sergeant now. But reaching the apex of martial arts and achieving the war god level seemed very unbelievable?Augustus sighed as he thought of this. He might have been bedridden for more than a decade but he had once been at a peak level also. He is a grandmaster himself. He knows how hard it is to level up in the martial arts world.Augustus is not a genius and it took him more than forty years to become the grandmaster he is now. It will take a genius half of those years to achieve the same rank.What about the former leader of the Martial Arts Alliance that was killed? He was a supreme Heavenly Warrior. He looked like he was seventy and had so much vigor but he was already over eighty years old.Among the other well-known heavenly warriors also, the youngest one was at least forty years old. The Legendary King of War however was already at the war god level. This level is similar to the
0246: A Weak Scholar
To think that they would be able to see that supreme figure with their own eyes like this was shocking. The disciples of the Sacred Shadow sect were in disbelief as they looked at Kian in a daze. It felt surreal.Cyprus, who was standing beside Augustus Vane, couldn't control his emotions. He trembled in joy. He just had a duel with Kian and was even fortunate to receive guidance from him.If what Master Augustus just said is really true then the fight with Kian would be the greatest honor Cyprus has ever received in his life.There was silence in the yard as all the disciples watched Kian eagerly, impatiently waiting for a response. A confirmation... Anything...But Kian remained calm and gave no response. Their patience gradually wore out. They exchanged a look amongst themselves. What's going on?After a moment of contemplation, Kian turned to Wesley, "Do me a favor and run an errand for me."Since he was going to expose his identity, he needs to provide some convincing evidence so
0245: He Was Supreme
Although everyone had just witnessed the strength of Kian's combative power, they still found it hard to believe that he could have actually attained such rank at a young age."Haha! A heavenly warrior?" Wesley suddenly burst into laughter as if he had just heard the funniest joke of the century.Everyone exchanged a look amongst themselves wondering what was so funny. Wesley laughed until tears came out from the corner of his eyes. Finally, he stopped, holding his stomach that was beginning to hurt from laughing too much."My Lord, His Majesty has personally killed at least ten heavenly warriors!"AH!Gasps echoed in the courtyard. The disciples looked at Kian like he was a demon and they all shuddered. Wesley's sentence was as light as a gentle breeze but the force behind it was not one to be reckoned with.Normally, it is difficult to kill even someone who has achieved the peak rank of the Martial Battle Master level which was even a lower rank compared to Martial Battle Warrior, M
0244: Recite The Oath
"Master, please don't talk like that. I'll really feel bad!" Someone from the crowd shouted."Since the moment we enter this sect, we have pledged our allegiance to you.""Yes, who will recite the oath with me?"Kian looked up in surprise as the disciples stepped forward and placed their left palms on their chest. Their loud voices echoed in the courtyard as they recited their oath."We have become the disciples of the Sacred Shadow sect today! To live or die together! To advance or retreat together! To defeat or surrender together!"The disciples dropped their hands with a smile. Someone chose that moment to say, "Master is our teacher for a day but our father for a lifetime!""Yes!" Everyone behind him cheered.Kian was pleasantly surprised and relieved. It's good to know that all this time that Augustus has been suffering, he has never been alone. He's got loyal people around him to bear and carry the weight of his pain with them. All these years, these people supported and formed
0243: Sexual Orientation
To think that from the beginning to that moment, Kian only used his physical strength. He didn't even use any internal energy. He has been suppressing his internal energy. He had suppressed his strength and internal energy, lowering himself to Cyprus' rank.However, even then, Cyprus still couldn't resist at all. He didn't even get the chance to touch a hair on Kian's head and was completely defeated.What kind of rank has Kian attained exactly? What was the true level of his strength? Cyprus dared not even imagine or think of it.Not only him, everyone else in the courtyard except Wesley were in a daze. They were reflecting and analyzing Kian's moves. They were also trying to comprehend his definition of the true nature of the spear techniques.Needless to say, even Augustus Vane who had been practicing martial arts for decades has learnt and benefited greatly from Kian's teaching."I, Cyprus of the Sacred Shadow sect, pay my respects to you!"Cyprus, now in a pitiful state, suddenly
