The Legendary King Of War Returns 0011: The Opening Night Gala
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

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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0013: Why Is It You Again?
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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0014: Dregs And Elites
"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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0015: Get Out Of My Way
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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0017: If You Ever Need Our Help—
Anthony had second thoughts and wanted to salvage the situation. He forced a small smile at Maximilian Hart. "I tried to contact you, but your assistant informed me you were out of the country. I couldn't propose to my girl without a pianist as planned so I hired someone with only a little bit of skills. I shouldn't have done this. I'm sorry." He bowed slightly with a sincere expression, but both Maximilian Hart and the con artist sneered. The former was indeed out of the country on a tour but all it took was one phone call from that person for him to return. Meanwhile, the con artist felt disdainful at Anthony's attitude and words. He was content performing on the streets when Anthony approached him. The man was almost groveling in front of him to get him to dress and play the piano like the real Maximilian Hart. Had it not been for the promised payment which was more than he typically earned on the streets, he wouldn't have accepted. But now that the truth was exposed, this
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0018: You're Under Arrest
"Why did those people help you?" After much contemplation, Savannah arrived at a decision and asked Kian as soon as he got to her.Although she couldn't hear their conversation from where she stood, she had noticed their respectful and submissive demeanor towards Kian.Why did Magistrate Cody, a powerful figure, suddenly appear at the Opening Night Gala and assist Kian in exposing her uncle? What could he gain from helping a fallen heir? Could it have been a coincidence? The more she thought of it, the stranger it felt."They were good friends with my father," Kian answered curtly without batting an eye.It was indeed true. His father had been business acquaintances with some of them, although their relationships were strictly professional. Until Savannah completely forgives him, he can't reveal his real identity to her."I see," Savannah frowned slightly, her confusion easing.It made sense now. Back then, Blackwood's family was at their prime and at the top. Their influence was powe

"The Divine Sword sect is here!"At that moment, the noisy and bustling central square fell silent. The members of the lower tier sects looked up in awe.

Their faces immediately bore serious expressions as they turned to the direction of the sudden noise.The Divine Sword sect was one of the top fifteen sects of the Martial Arts Alliance.

Meanwhile, back at the fourth district, as soon as dawn broke, a large crowd had gathered at the central square. At the square, a gigantic arena had been set up.It was finally the day of the second stage of the contest the Ancient Martial Alliance set up which is the 'Sects Masters battle.'

The central square was quite massive and wide. But even so, it was densely packed. If one looked around, it was easy to see that apart from the central arena and some exclusive areas for the various sects competing, the square was filled with a sea of heads,

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! Up until that moment, he has always ignored this second son of his. He channelled all his attention and affection to his favorite son, Franklin.But now that Franklin was disabled and bedridden, he finally noticed his second son who has always been there all along. How hy

"How preposterous!" The Faye's family Patriarch kicked the person closest to him in fury. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the elderly doctor that just got up."Argh!" The poor doctor let out a scream of agony as he lost his balance and his head against the wall. Blood oozed out of his broken nose."How dare that bastard?! Who does he think he is to say such preposterous words?!" The patriarch roared like a provoked beast. He was shaking all over with fury.The atmosphere in the room dropped by several degrees. All the members of the Faye's family cowered and trembled fearfully.Like it was revealed earlier, the Faye's family is one of the top families in the capital city, Cascadia. They were just some ranks below the aristocratic families.Even at that, they held supreme authority and had an extraordinary status in the capital. When civilians encounter any of the Faye's family, they would bow in reverence and greet them respectfully. This was just how powerful they were.But now, n
0293: Can He Be Saved?
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. The staff didn't know who they were or why they had to follow their orders but after getting a wind of what had happened in the banquet hall earlier, they didn't dare question the new authority.[BREAKING NEWS...]Likewise the guests who had dispersed immediately spread the news. Soon the hot topic in the Blackwoods district was Charlotte's birthday celebration. Within a few hours, news reached t
0292: Just Take It Back
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! How—""Yes," Sophia intercepted the discussion and came forward. "You want me to pay eight hundred million dollars right? I'll do it right away as long as you don't back out on your w
0291: You Lost Your Chance
"Ah!""Ah!""Ah!"With each slice of the knife, Charlotte shrieked in pain. Her agonized screams and the gruesome sight of her bloodied wrist sent chills down everyone's spine.CREAK!CREAK!Finally, the knife had hit the wrist bone. The sound was low but sharp. At this moment, Charlotte no longer had the strength to scream. She had completely lost all sense of pain and was just mindlessly slicing away at her wrist with the knife.A formerly beautiful diva like her using a table knife to saw through her own wrist. It was really horrendous. Many of the guests could no longer bear to watch. Some of the guests who were faint hearted had already turned their heads to the side and were beginning to retch! The hall which was beautifully decorated earlier had now turned to a bloody and disgusting mess.THUD!Finally, after what felt like eternity, Charlotte Lane finally managed to sever the remaining bit of her flesh and her bloodied palm fell off to the ground with a thud.Then she directl
0290: Saving Grace
The hall got quieter than it already was. A chill ran through the crowd. Kian's strong killing intent made it almost impossible for people to breathe.Charlotte Lane and Franklin Faye were petrified. Their bodies shook like leaves. This masked stranger is powerful and ruthless. His actions are brutal. He also seems to have had a good relationship with Garrett before his demise.A dreadful thought crossed Charlotte and Franklin's mind simultaneously. They certainly won't be able to escape alive today!They were so horrified that despair tore away at their hearts slowly. Is this the end? Disregarding the watchful gazes of the terrified onlookers, Kian casually picked up a buffet knife from the nearby table.Charlotte was now powerless to resist. She could only sit helpless and watch blankly as the sharp knife glinted in the light. People held their breath as Kian halted. But to their disappointment, the bloody scene they were waiting for didn't unfold. Instead he crouched and stretche
