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

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,

"Yes," Kian nodded firmly. "Give me your permission to marry your daughter." Nathaniel was silent for a few minutes before he finally sighed, "Fine. You two should get your marriage registered tomorrow morning." Kian's tensed brows eased, but this relief was short-lived as Nathaniel looked at him coldly and snorted. "I am not going to forgive you so easily. I’m only doing this because my daughter's reputation has been ruined thanks to you. You have to bear the consequences of your actions. My daughter shouldn’t have to suffer anymore for your mistakes." Kian's face hardened as he solemnly swore, as if taking an oath on the military grounds. "I'm making a promise to you now that I'll protect your daughter with my life." Nathaniel's expression remained unchanged, but he pointed an unsteady finger at Kian. "I may not be as powerful as you are, but if you ever try to hurt my daughter in any way, I won’t let you off, even if it’s the last thing I have to do!" "There won't be

"Wesley," Kian frowned and looked up when he received no response. He held up the marriage certificate and questioned again, "Tell me, does the camera angle look weird?""Ah... No, sir," Wesley shook his head and lowered the certificate while looking around quickly. People were entering and exiting. Even if they didn't know Kian's real identity, he still felt cautious."Are you—" Kian was still not convinced and wanted to speak but Wesley sighed inwardly, 'What's the use of saying anything now? You already got the certificate and of course you look great but sir, I think it would be shocking if the news got out!'"Sir," He pulled out his phone. "You should see this."This momentarily distracted Kian and he put the certificate away before collecting the phone."Just like you instructed, every media channel has spread the news and it has entered the top ranking of hottest news category. The public tender will be available in two days.""Good," Kian's soft expression disappeared and his

"You think so too? It's simply too strange," Thomas stroked his gray beard with a thoughtful look. "But don't worry. I've sent some of my people to investigate the matter. If the investment bid is genuine, then we will consider joining. It's a rare opportunity."Jonathan's tense expression eased and he smiled, "Great. Then we'll just wait and see what happens for the next few days."Thomas picked up the bowl of fruits and stretched it towards Jonathan with an amicable smile. "As for the invitation cards, It's no problem... We can get those easily. Let's just confirm the news first."They were not concerned about the investment bid itself. In this city, no one could compete with their families for investment. They just needed to verify the authenticity of the news before making any moves."It's been a while since we played chess together. Have you improved since that time? Remember, I completely floored you," Thomas chuckled, changing the topic."Do you think you can win against me ag

"Don't come any closer," Grandfather Wilson quickly warned him. "Turn on the TV for me." "Yes father," He nodded obediently and turned around only to see the cold look on Douglas' and Veronica's faces. He snorted smugly and walked past them to pick up the remote thinking, 'It doesn't matter if you are a son of this family. In the end, you can only be a messenger and even run around to secure my bail as father requested. You will always remain under me where you belong.' "Good day to the people of Valoria Prime," A newscaster with a bright smile came up on the television as soon as it was turned on. "I'm sure the business world already knows what the buzz in the city is all about. If you don't already know which is unlikely, well, we have great news for you!" Edward stood back and focused on the television attentively. What news was causing a buzz in the business world? What did he miss while he was locked up? "In just two days, Valoria Prime City will host a major event as a

0308: No Matter The Cost...
His words 'Martial Arts Prodigy's weighed down on everyone heavily. 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. Their facial expressions turned stoic.Could they easily kill Peter and the other middle-aged man?Yes!But can they do it with a single strike like a ma
0307: A Fluke
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. How could he possibly be a martial arts prodigy?As the spectators exchanged uncertain glances and murmured among them
0306: Horrifying!
"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
0305: Is It Okay If Someone Dies...?
"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
0304: Absurd And Unacceptable!
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
0303: Seal All Exits!
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. Yet
0302: A Waste Of Existence
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'
0300: Brutal And Spectacular!
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
