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

As soon as the name Rupert Holloway was called in the video, an eerie silence descended in the loft. The fingers holding onto the phone shook violently. The face of the Holloway's patriarch turned deathly pale and his eyes widened with horror as the screen interface changed to display another video. This one was about the scene of the accident.In the overcrowded street, a body was lying quietly on a stretcher placed by the road side. Amidst the paramedics, the security officers and the onlookers, the Holloway's patriarch immediately recognized his son.Those clothes... He had personally given them to Rupert. He had similar apparel. Shocked at what he was seeing, he fell back to his chair. A lost and bewildered expression immediately graced his facial features."How could this be... Rupert... Why...""Father, give me the phone... Please stop scrolling down," The eldest son of the Holloway's family called out in a trembling voice.The patriarch heard him but his shuddering fingers wer
0213: No Body No Crime
The skyscraper was overcrowded by seas of pedestrians. The crowd was growing so that one could only see the heads of people that trailed on and on. The reason for the growing crowd was quite evident. A small car was parked on the roadside with a large dent of a collapsed roof and shattered glasses.Rupert Holloway was lying on top of the car, twisted and mangled. It was this scene that attracted the onlookers. And because the crowd was so occupied with the unknown body on top of the car, no one noticed the pitiful appearance of Dorian and the rest of the people from the provincial families as they left.Some of the people from the provincial families managed to catch a glimpse of the gruesome scene across the crowd. The bloodstain that splattered everywhere was horrifying.If you ask them now if Valoria Prime is still a small city and if the citizens of the city are still uncivilized barbarians to them, they would shake their heads.They shuddered again, filled with fear as they reca
0212: A Lasting Impression
To the ears of the people from the provincial families, the countdown was like a clock ticking, reminding them each second passing was one step closer to death!Wesley also chose that moment to casually rub the sharp dagger making a rustling sound that chilled their hearts. The pressure in the air was so heavy it pressed down on the hearts of everyone from the provincial families.Kian's condition was not difficult at all. All they had to choose was losing face and becoming a disabled person for the rest of their lives or keeping their dignity but losing their lives in return. It was just that no one wanted to die or lose face! "Three...""Two...""One...""I'll do it!" Dorian rushed forward anxiously just as Kian's countdown was ending. "I'll do as you have requested. An arm to call it even!"SWOOSH!Wesley casually threw out his dagger and it flew out. Immediately, it pierced through the table, the handle of the knife trembling as it stuck in a position.Dorian's eyes had already r
0211: Countdown
Everyone was stunned at Kian's words. Dorian was the most shocked one. His face turned white than a white background as he stuttered, "What... do... you... ?mean... by that?!""I won't repeat myself," Kian's smile disappeared and was replaced by a serious demeanor. "Everyone present here today from the provincial families has to leave one arm behind. Then we can call it even."BOOM!Kian spoke so casually but the words descended like a thunder storm and caused uproar among the crowd. "Kian Blackwood, aren't you going too far?!" Rupert Holloway snarled furiously, glaring at Kian with a strong killing intent. "Daring to offend the provincial families blatantly like this? You are really asking for death!""Holloway's family right?" Kian arched his brows. "I suppose we are old acquaintances."As he was speaking, he was walking towards Rupert Holloway, one step at a time. His boots echoed on the tiled floors of the conference room.Rupert Holloway's wrinkled face turned uglier as he took
0210: Not Enough
Calista, Dorian, Rupert Holloway were all shocked. They all trembled in fear. Even Magistrate Cody, Greg Kennedy and others who witnessed this brutal scene couldn't help but twitch slightly.As expected of someone who has been associated with the general for a while, Wesley was simply too ruthless. Just imagining the force that might have been in his knee stroke made people's hearts hammer against their rib cages.DRIP!DRIP!DRIP!Blood continued to drip from the young man's crotch. He was in excruciating pain and couldn't make a sound. His entire body was convulsing and curling from the pain.Wesley threw him off and wiped his fingers with a box of tissues that he grabbed from the table, a disgusted look on his face."Killing someone is something but you guys are going too far. My Montclair's family won't let you go after this!" Calista finally found her voice and managed to speak. But her face was deathly pale and her voice trembled as she spoke.Kian raised his teacup and slipped
0209: Mannerless Barbarians
Wesley's eyes turned cold and he sidestepped the middle-aged man's advance. Without hesitating, he stretched out his hand and swung the dagger forward.SQUELCH!"Ah!" Calista shrieked in shock as blood spouted out immediately. Her uncle clutched his bloodstained neck, staggering back in shock. His eyes filled with pain and fear."You bastard... What did you—" He tried to speak but ended up collapsing to the ground with a loud thud leaving a bloody trail beneath him. He convulsed for some seconds before giving up a ghost.From the moment Wesley made a move to killing the middle-aged man, he only used about five minutes. The entire room was in shock."Ah!!!!""Argh!!!!"After some seconds, the people from the provincial families came to their senses and began to scream. Blood had splashed on some of the younger members of the Montclair's family so they were extremely terrified and shuddered uncontrollably.They had thought Wesley was simply threatening their uncle. They thought it was a
0208: Kill Him If You Want
Before everyone, Kian casually flicked his fingers but only Wesley noticed the warning. He unclenched his fists and lowered his head, the killing intent immediately disappeared. However, a chilling expression appeared on his face."Please help yourself to some tea," Kian beckoned with his fingers, smiling gently. "Let's not waste any more time," Rupert Holloway sneered with a frown, obviously not moved by Kian's hospitality. "Hurry up and tell us how to contact that wealthy tycoon!""Yes, don't waste our time and don't try to beat around the bush. Whatever needs to be known will be discovered eventually," Dorian met Kian's eyes as he spoke. "Just tell us what we need to know and make everyone happy.""No, that's not right," Kian shook his head slightly, ignoring how they all exchanged a look. "Everyone has some tea first."Dorian and the other provincial family members exchanged an amused look. Fine, they will have some tea. Let's see how long Kian can continue to make up excuses to
0207: Fake It Till You Make It
"Who are you?" Kian smiled at the old man calmly without any trace of annoyance."My name is Rupert. I'm from the second provincial family, Holloway," The old man snorted scornfully."My apologies for not recognizing such an important figure," Kian lowered his head and bowed slightly."You uncivilized people from these small cities don't know a single thing about hierarchy or respect," Magnus sneered and pointed at Greg Kennedy. "Especially that bald man.""You bastard..." Greg no longer had to restrain himself since the general was there. He stood and glared at Magnus, making a move to charge at him."See what I'm talking about? Barbarians!" Magnus snickered hatefully, making an expression at Greg that made him feel like a clown."Greg, don't be rude to our guests," Kian didn't make any move and simply met Magnus' eyes, calmly gesturing to Greg to sit.Greg Kennedy looked at Kian in shock. He was taken aback. These people from the provincial families are very arrogant and abusive. If
0206: Their True Intention
"But we also know that Magistrate Cody and the rest of you have spent hefty prices to get a share of the assets and properties of the Gray's and Sinclair's families so we can understand the unwillingness to hand them over."Magistrate Cody exchanged a look with the remaining confidantes sitting at the table. No one said a word.So the muscular man sat up and took over, "The Business Association is not being unreasonable so how about this, Magistrate Cody? We don't necessarily need to meet or see Kian Blackwood."Magistrate Cody arched his brows. What are these crafty people up to now? He didn't have to think further because the muscular man immediately explained."You all are more familiar with that mysterious investor. The tycoon who had helped you all get a share. Introduce that tycoon to the Business Association of the Southern region instead. We will discuss with him and then, we don't have to pursue the assets or properties left behind by those families. What do you think?"Magis
