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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    Meanwhile, at the same time, Kian and Savannah had just arrived at another VIP ward in the hospital. When Savannah pushed the door open, she gasped at the haggard figure on the bed."Father!"She dropped her handbag and ran to the bedside, tears cascading down her face.For five years, her father had suffered so much that he now looked like a shell of his former self. He was almost unrecognizable. At that moment, she was filled with so much guilt."I almost didn't believe it when I got the call," her mother cried, also present in the ward. "Look at what they have reduced your father to."Nathaniel felt disheartened by their tears. His lips parted like he wanted to say something, but he was unable to speak."Mommy," Savannah looked down at Noah when he patted her leg. He had a frown on his face and looked like he was going to cry too.She bent and carried him. "Do you see him, Noah? That's your grandfather. Call him grandpa."She had given birth to Noah after her father was imprisoned,

Even ordinary civilians who have never practiced martial arts before in their entire life understood what this title means.He was a true master who was at the peak of martial arts and could even establish his own academy or alliance! In the history of martial arts, the only people able to achieve this level in the past were all respected elders of great virtue. But even the youngest and most talented one of those elders who achieved this level in history was in his mid thirties! Yet Ambrose Darkmore claims this masked man who looks like he is in his early and mid twenties was actually a martial arts prodigy?!It was simply astonishing and beyond comprehension!Apart from Ambrose Darkmore, the other elders including Silas Nightingale and Grimm were equally shocked.

    It is important to note that Peter isn't just an ordinary leader of a second tier sect. Even among all the leaders of second tier sects, his combat strength was at least ranked among the top five!"No... It can't be!""Impossible!""This useless Peter must have let his guard down!""Yes, that's right. How could this have happened if he didn't?!"In the ring, the other leaders turned pale and staggered back in shock. Their faces were filled with disbelief. Their combat strength and abilities were on par with Peter's own. If this masked bastard could kill Peter with just one move, it means he could easily take them down as well but how is this possible?!Martial artists of the same martial arts level couldn't be killed so easily. Only a true martial arts prodigy could butcher them like chickens. But this masked man looked like he could be in his early or mid twenties.

    "You little bastard! Come down here and die!" "Don't keep us waiting!""I won't let you go today!"The angry roars reverberated through the square once again. This time, Kian said nothing else. He simply collected a spear from Augustus Vane.Under the gaze of thousands spectators and several other online viewers as the site was already fixed, he held the spear upside down and descended down, heading into the ring!"Brother, what do you think of this man?"In the area originally designated for the Dark Legion sect which the members of the Harrington's family now occupy, Roland Harrington leaned in and asked an elderly man beside him as he watched Kian's tall figure."Arrogant, reckless and ignorant of his own limitations. In other words, incapable," The elderly man with hair full of white hair beside Roland snorted in an indifferent tone."What do you think the outcome of this battle will be then? How long will it last?" Roland Harrington reached forward to pluck a grape from the tray

    "Augustus, since you will rather save your face than that of your sect, I will gladly help you to care for that haughty punk beside—" The leader of the Iron Fist sect was growling arrogantly when Kian suddenly interrupted him."I have a question."He turned to Silas Nightingale and the other elders of the council when he said this, paying little or no attention to the man in the ring who in his own opinion was simply barking like a scared dog!"Go ahead," Silas Nightingale scowled at him coldly. "Let's have it."Kian's smirk disappeared and a serious expression masked his face. He looked almost innocent as he asked, "Is it okay if someone dies in this sect master battle?"PSST!A chorus of gasps filled the air as a wave of shock rippled through the spectators. This brat really has some nerves asking such a question!Silas Nightingale's face turned as dark as the bottom of a charcoal pot. His fingers itched by his side to slap Kian into silence! But after taking a deep breath and stru

    In the ring, the facial expression of the leader of the Iron Fist sect darkened instantly. Not only him, several others too."Who are you?" Silas Nightingale of the number one top sect, Heavenly Flame questioned coldly with a grim look.Kian tilted his head up at him and casually told him, "The new leader of the Sacred Shadow sect, Kieran.""Haha!" The leader of the Iron Fist sect in the ring laughed maniacally. "This useless, old bastard Augustus has already given up and accepted defeat. You are just a—""When did I ever say I was giving up or admitting defeat?" Augustus' calm voice interrupted him before he could complete his words.A hush fell over the crowd as they processed Augustus' words. Then there was a collective gasp as realization dawned on them. Augustus had truly never said such a thing!He never accepted defeat or gave up. They simply assumed based on his cowardly action and he actually let them misunderstand... This man!"This battle is the second stage of the sect's c

    To the elders of the alliance council, the duty of a martial artist is to defend the honor of their sect, no matter the circumstances. Even if the martial artist was severely injured... Even if he could barely move... Even if he had lost his strength to fight. Even if he was on death bed!As long as there was still life in them, they should fight to protect the honor of their sect with their very last breath! And a sect leader? He should be even more resolute!However, Augustus' cowardly attitude before the battle has severely contradicted their principles. To call him a disgrace to the martial community was even an exaggeration. He is condemnation to mankind! Among all the spectators present today, apart from the sects, there were at least tens of thousands of ordinary civilians. Not to mention the countless cameras and drones that were rolling and circulating, broadcasting the sect contest live!This contest must be watched by several hundreds or even thousands of viewers now.

    These opportunities were unimaginable. They have to give this contest their best. While they were thinking about the wealth ahead, the members of the aristocratic Harrington's family took their seats.They occupied the empty area that was initially designated for the Dark Legion sect. No one even cared about the absence of that sect. Just then, the result of the lot drawn between Calvin and the other qualified leaders of the second tier sects was announced.Unexpectedly, the first leader to challenge Augustus Vane was the leader of a second tier sect known as the Iron Fist sect. He was already at the peak level of a martial grandmaster. The sect master battle officially began since the lots were drawn."Let the contending sect master step into the arena," Silas Nightingale who was the host of the contest announced in his booming voice. The leader of the Iron Fist sect stomped his feet on the ground and within a few minutes, he was already in the arena which was the center of the squ

  • 0301: An August Visitor

    The central square gradually grew silent with chatter occasionally rising from different ends as people waited for Calvin and the other leaders to draw lots in order to choose the one that would challenge the leader of the Sacred Shadow sect, Augustus Vane.Just as they were impatiently waiting, a hearty, thunderous laughter resounded from the crowd around the entrance. "It looks like I'm just in time as the battle hasn't started yet!"Silence washed over the square as people looked in the direction of the loud voice. Crowd parted ways, revealing a vigorous man in an exquisite, golden coloured robe. He strode into the square confidently.Behind him was an entourage of dozens of men and women. They were all also dressed sophisticatedly, exuding a powerful aura of wealth and nobility."My goodness!" Gasps rose in the crowd like a symphony."That's... That's... That's..." This spectator choked, seemingly unable to complete her words."That's the patriarch of the aristocratic Harrington'

    When it was Augustus Vane's turn to speak, he opened his mouth. But just as he did this, Silas Nightingale interrupted him."Fine, since you all agree for the sect master's battle to begin early, the elder council have accepted your request!" His calm voice rang out, directly cutting Augustus off.Instantly, everyone exchanged a look with their neighbors. They all saw what Silas just did. They saw how he dismissed Augustus as unimportant and didn't even let him speak! Wow, the elders council seems to really be cutting Augustus off.The formerly revered leader of the Sacred Shadow sect was now a walking disaster! At that moment, many gleeful and mocking gazes turn in the direction of the Sacred Shadow's tent.But when they saw the reactions of the members of the sect, they were taken aback. The twenty or more disciples, with a few injured ones, looked so calm and surprisingly unfazed by Silas' words.Even Augustus who had just been publicly humiliated showed no signs of anger and was e
