2024-07-17 15:24:42"It... was... Anthony, the second son of the Gray's family."
Jeff suddenly thought mentioning Anthony Gray's name would save him. After all, the family was a force to be reckoned with. Who would have expected Kian would flare up with a strong murderous intent, "Gray's family? I intended to give you all time but you keep digging your graves!" SPLAT! His foot rose and he stomped on Jeff's head viciously. A crack sound resonated as Jeff's skull was crushed by the foot. Blood and brain parts splattered all over. At that moment, Cody's soul left his body in horror. He has heard tales of the King of War's fury but has never witnessed it till today. This person, Nathaniel Wilson, must be very important to him. He gulped in fear and took a few steps backwards. He finally understands why some people call Kian a tyrant. __________ Kian's cold expression finally dissipated as he watched Nathaniel being wheeled into the operating theater. His body was in a terrible state and the doctor had to perform a surgery on him immediately. Cody could finally breathe peacefully and his heart was no longer hanging in his throat. He sat on a bench with an exhausted face. "Sir," Wesley slipped beside Kian quietly and bowed. "The bank card has been delivered to Miss Savannah." He paused for a second and then presented a document to Kian. "The reason why Nathaniel was also imprisoned has been investigated. He was indeed framed." Kian collected the document and skimmed through it casually. His eyes gradually turned frosty at what he saw. Not only Anthony Gray, some of the Wilson's family members were also involved in Nathaniel's downfall including the current head of the family who was Nathaniel's oldest brother, Edward. Anthony had gathered evidence of Edward's illicit deeds in the family's business and used it to threaten him to help him deal with Nathaniel. Edward already wasn't on good terms with his brother so he readily accepted the offer in a bid to save himself because if his wicked deeds were to be exposed to the public, he would be imprisoned. Thus, Nathaniel's family was expelled from the Wilson's family and then he was imprisoned. "We haven't found out the reason why Anthony did this," Wesley reported to Kian in a soft tone. "But we did find out there was some sort of undefined relationship between Anthony's mother and Nathaniel Wilson..." "It doesn't matter," Kian waved his hand dismissively. "There is no reason for being a scum neither will there be one for punishing them." "Yes sir," Wesley bowed respectfully but said nothing else. Kian's brows furrowed slightly as he began to feel guilty again. The state Savannah's family is in right now is due to his own actions. He owed her alot. Thinking of this, his expression became calm again and he looked up at Wesley, "Transfer all my assets abroad to the country and invest two hundred billion in Valoria Prime. Release the news and open bidding in three days." His gaze became resolute as he added, "I changed my mind. This time, I won't just kill people." This world only revolves around money and power. The two top families, Gray and Sinclair are no exception. Olivia and her family had destroyed his family because of money. He will also use that same money to destroy her and her family completely! Everyone involved won't be left unscathed. Seeing this scene and hearing his words, Cody's heart trembled with fear. "Yes sir," Wesley nodded and left almost immediately. Kian wasn't far behind too. Although he didn't want to, Cody insisted that he would be in charge of personally overseeing that Nathaniel was well taken care of so he had no other reason to remain at the hospital. Besides, he wanted to inform Savannah about this news personally, hoping it would ease her resentment. __________ At the bank, Savannah was waiting in line in front of a counter, holding her son's hand. She looked down at the bank card in her hand from time to time, feeling extremely nervous. An hour ago, she had ended a music class and was preparing to go home when she received a package. Besides the bank card in it, there was also a little note. [There is money in this card to sort your problem] There was no information of how much was in it, who sent it or why. No signature, no description, just those few words. But she was in desperate need of money. She needed to hire a good lawyer that would take up her father's case. Because of this, she had borrowed money several times in the past but still wasn't enough. Not long ago, she even dared to borrow a high interest loan of three hundred thousand from a popular loan shark, Felix who is also rumored to be the godson of the notorious Montgomery's family. But in the end, she not only failed to achieve her goal but also ended in debts and was almost forced to sleep with someone to repay the loan. She would never have accepted money from an unknown source but she was at her wit's end and had no time to consider anything. "Oh my, isn't this our campus beauty of Valoria National University?" Savannah frowned at these words and looked up in the direction where the voice had sounded from. A young woman in a pristine black suit with an insignia indicating her position as the bank manager walked towards her. There was a sneer on her face as she took in Savannah's physical appearance and cheap clothes. "Margaret?" Savannah's face turned cold. This woman was her coursemate but they never got along because Margaret always targeted and schemed against her. "I heard rumors that you were kicked out of your house because of a sex scandal? What business do you still have in our bank? Do you even have any money?" Margaret looked down at Savannah disdainfully. She didn't bother to hide her contempt. Back in college, Savannah was always favored by everyone. Every man pursued her and wished to be with her romantically because of her beauty. Not only that, she was also the academic genius in their entire university. The beauty with the brains. Naturally, people like Margaret got jealous. When news of Savannah's scandal first broke out, she was the happiest person that day and always wanted to ridicule her. Unexpectedly, this encounter gave her the opportunity to do so.

"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..." The little boy shrank in his mother's arms and sobbed out.Kian felt a tinge of pain in his heart and tried to comfort him, "Don't cry... I'm here now. I'll—""Why are you here?"

Greg knew if he didn't do something, not only would these two meet their end, they would also drag him down with them! So—PLAK!He lifted his palm fiercely and gave director Jones another hard slap. The latter was still shouting self-righteously and was caught unaware."Sir—" He fell to the ground in confusion and held his cheek. 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

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

"Oh, so he is that man involved in that scandal!""How can he still show his face here? 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. Savannah’s tears mixed with her anger as she wiped them away, staring at him defiantly."Anthony is going to save my fath

Before anyone could react to his words, Edward stood up with great difficulty and flared up. "What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you spurt out this rubbish here? Guards! Get this man out of here!"He was agitated and frightened. How could this lowlife know about Anthony's connection to Nathaniel's predicament? 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! All an old fool like you does is to bite the fingers that feed him!""What are you talking about?" Savannah pulled him, causing him to look down at her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock and disbelief."Why don't you ask your good uncle over there or your soon-to-be boyfriend? They will explain to you clearly how they worked together and put your father behind bars!"Edward's face turned ashen as all eyes redirected to him. He grew more anxious a
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0016: Exposed!
Now, Anthony was utterly humiliated. His face was darker than the night sky and he could have sworn he heard some people from the crowd laughing at him. He might be the prestigious second son of Gray's family. In front of Magistrate Cody, he was nothing! Cody was unconcerned with this and directly went to the Wilsons. He pointed at Kian and said, "I have proof that all his accusations are true." The hall was in uproar at his words. They barely had time to comprehend his words when he added, "I had my people investigate the incident that occurred years ago. Nathaniel was completely innocent. The employees did die while working on his project, but it wasn’t his fault. The real issue was that someone greedily siphoned off most of the funds and provided substandard infrastructure, which ultimately led to their deaths. It was all due to Edward and Anthony's manipulation." A shocked hush fell upon the hall. When Kian said it earlier, no one believed him. But this was Magistrate Cod

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? Why does it seem like contrary to what was expected, these people seem not to have an ounce of fear at all?There was no expression of fear on their faces.

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.

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
