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

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,
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0020: The Talk Of Town
"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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0023: My Second Best Friend
"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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0024: Accommodate A Freeloader
Savannah walked into the room and emerged with an old blanket and a pillow. "You can sleep here," She told Kian as she dropped them on the floor. Just then, Ida walked out. Her eyes flashed with hatred when she saw Kian and she hissed. "The house is already so cramped and now we have to accommodate a freeloader. Is it me or does the sitting room seem even smaller now?" Kian rubbed his nose awkwardly, knowing she was referring to him as the 'freeloader'. "Mom," Savannah called out in a warning tone. Ida rolled her eyes, feeling more pissed with the entire situation the more she thought of it but her husband already decided. He was quite stubborn; once he decided on something, nothing or no one could change his mind. Her husband and her daughter may have accepted this dirtbag but she will never accept him. So she treated Kian like he was invisible and went directly to Savannah, "Your uncle, Douglas, just called." A frown appeared on Savannah's face. "What did he say?" "He a
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0025: Took Valoria Prime By Storm
The next morning, Valoria Prime was once again thrown into a state of frenzy. News spread out very quickly again that the mysterious business tycoon had added another two hundred billion to the investment and there were even rumors that it was promised that as long as one could attend the bidding event, one would be given a share of the pie regardless of whether you win a bid or not. Some people who had not planned to participate were now exhausting all the connections they had to try and get an invitation card. Some who had already given up due to their inability to get the invitation cards were reinvigorated and changed their minds. Even if they had to grovel at people's feet, they were determined to get the invitation cards now. As Kian went through the news on his phone, his eyes darkened thoughtfully. Now, the Grays and Sinclairs should be at least tempted, right? Four hundred billion investment wasn't a small thing to even the upper class but it was a drop in the bucket

"The sound of the horror you feel just before your death. That one you made just now—" Kian grinned like he had just saved the world. "—was my favourite sound. It's the sound I love to hear the most."Kian stepped closer and crouched till he could look the dying man directly in the eye. He patted his hair which appeared to be the only place that survived the metal shards."Ugh!" Axel groaned and convulsed painfully. But Kian's grin only widened as he informed him in a chilly tone, "Be rest assured. You are not alone. Brax and his fellow disciples will be waiting for you on the way to hell when you close your eyes. It's not good to keep them waiting as they have been waiting for a long time."Axel trembled all over after hearing this. Even at his time of death, he wondered, 'Who is this monster?'"Go on. Also, don't forget to extend my greetings to them," Kian's words felt like the last decree told to someone about to be executed.The moment he stopped talking, Axel's head tilted and
0267: Who Are You?!
Wesley and Kian exchanged a look. The former got weird vibes from Axel's sinister gaze. 'Huh, general, I think I need saving.'Axel didn't miss a step forward as he continued, "First, the soft moans of a woman, then the pleasurable groans of a man and lastly, the helpless cries of someone in despair.""Hahaha!" Axel's men threw their heads back and laughed. They all understood his words. Their boss seems to have found his new boy toy.Jackal's lips curled into a frown as he looked at the men laughing. Axel's words sounded weird for some reason. The pleasurable groans of a man?"Ah," He gasped softly when realization dawned on him. His eyes narrowed in disgust. He knew Axel had a reputation for being lustful but he never knew he had this dirty nature.But then Jackal shrugged. It doesn't matter as long as Axel keeps his own end of the deal. As long as he makes these two bastards pay for what they have done, it doesn't matter even if he imprisons Wesley to be his boy toy.Axel's eyes wr
0265: Sounds I Love To Hear
Jackal gulped in fear, feeling less convinced with his own words. Working with someone like Axel was like going into the lion's den.He knew that Axel will really do as he has just said and hang up his severed head at the town square if those people never show up. Although the Martial Arts Alliance had set some rules that prohibited martial artists from killing ordinary citizens, Axel doesn't seem to care about those rules.To a martial artist, accidentally killing someone or more people would only warrant at most a minor punishment. The lives of martial artists were more important to the Alliance than that of ordinary citizens."Axel, don't worry. I promise you they'll show up," Jackal's voice trembled slightly as he tried to assure Axel.The latter nodded and wanted to pass instructions to his men when two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. Jackal's eyes widened with recognition. It was the men from the food street walking side by side! "Axel, look, it's them,
0265: Ruthless Slayer
When Kian and Wesley got out of the sect, the town was still bustling with activities although it was still very early in the morning. "We'll head to Garrett first. I remember he told me he runs a hotel. We could stay there first and then also ask him about the wedding date," Kian suggested as they walked into the town. Wesley nodded without objections and quickly followed his lead. Meanwhile, in a dimly lit alley, there were several men armed with weapons like knives, guns and even clubs. They were all huddled in one corner and all seemed to be asleep except a few of them.Among them, a man wrapped with thick gauze all over was assisted to the front by another man. The bandaged man was the thug, Jackal. The one Cyprus had beaten up, leaving him broken at the food street earlier that day.With all the bandages wrapped around him like a mummy, Jackal was barely recognizable and he looked ridiculous. His dark eyes watched straight out of the alley without blinking. They were filled wi
0264: He Beat Me Up... Again
"Cough! Cough!" Wesley choked and quickly grabbed a cup of water. When he regained his composure, he turned to Kian with eyes as wide as saucers.He couldn't believe there was actually someone that beat up the general. Well, that was when he was younger but still—"He probably didn't know about your identity, right?""No," Kian shook his head. "He only found out the next day after I cried to my parents to have his family thrown out of our rental home."Wesley laughed smugly and winked, "Then, he must have come to grovel at your feet and plead."The smug smirk on Wesley's face was wiped off by Kian's words, "No. He actually beat me up again."Wesley's jaws dropped. He turned off the stove because the soup was starting to burn and turned around abruptly. "What?"Kian laughed at the recollection of the past. "Yes, he beat me up again and then dared me to go running to my parents to kick his family out of Valoria Prime this time since we were so powerful."Now Wesley held his stomach and
0263: A Childhood Friend
[SAVANNAH]Kian's fingers hovered over the caller ID that was displaying on his phone's screen. He opened up the call record and realized there were two calls from his wife just some hours ago.The last call seemed to have gone on for some minutes. Kian's fingers flew to his lips and he facepalmed. "My goodness, what did you say?" He whispered to himself. He couldn't recall anything from his conversation with Savannah but he must have been very drunk when he answered her call.He was scared of what he might have said to her but he couldn't even remember what he said. Not only did he forget to give her a call when he arrived in the imperial capital city, he also spoke to her while he was a drunken mess."Kian, what did you do?" He slapped himself on the face. Just as he was pondering, the voice came again.'I hope you are assailed with loads of hangovers tomorrow!'He jolted up like he had been electrocuted. Realization dawned on him and his eyes widened. Now he knows why he felt that
0262: Drunken Mess ii
By the time Kian managed to bring out the phone, it had stopped chiming. He shook his head and sighed. But he was too drunk to think of where exactly to press on the screen so he gave up trying and wanted to return to the table when—RING!RING!RING!A frown etched on his face when the phone started chiming again. He answered the call without checking the caller ID, not like he would be able to read the words if he could."Kian," A strange yet familiar melodious voice came through the line. Kian paused, his heart suddenly filled with so much sweetness that was threatening to overtake the sadness in it. "Hello.""You promised to call... We waited all day," The melodious voice seemed to be nursing a grudge.Kian was confused. He sniffled and asked, "Call? When... When... did... I...""You..." The lady sounded exasperated. "Are you drunk?"Kian suddenly felt like he was a little boy about to be scolded. The urge to lie arose and he succumbed. "N...no... I'm... not... drunk... I... I...

"I must say Kian, you have really grown. I'm so proud of you," Augustus grinned as he patted Kian's back. "Back then, I used to fantasize with Doug on how we were going to treat you when you were born. I was looking forward to a particular moment. The time you would wet your bed and I would try to rescue you from your parents as a good godfather."Kian's jaws almost dropped at Augustus' words. Wesley on the other hand choked, trying to hold back his laughter."Cough! Cough!"He used to think the general was the most flawless person in the world but just thinking that the general might have also wet the bed when he was younger was hilarious."Ahem," Kian cleared his throat and stroked his nose, feeling embarrassed. "Uncle, what are you saying? I don't have any memories of wetting the bed or my pants.""Look at you," Augustus laughed. "How would you remember? You must have been so young then. Listen, Doug used to wet his pants when we were younger so I expect nothing less from you."Ki

"If that person indeed decides to mobilize supreme masters of martial arts, even if they are lacking in combat skills, they will still be formidable opponents." Augustus Vane’s expression turned grave as he spoke. "So we can't take any risks. At least until we find out the background of the other person, it's inadvisable to act rashly."Kian nodded, lowering his head in thought. He understood Augustus' concerns well. This was the exact reason he had come to the capital city—to uncover the truth behind what really transpired between his parents and the Blackwood family all those years ago.Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to conceal his identity, choosing instead to travel as Wesley’s chauffeur and bodyguard? If it were merely about revenge, wouldn't it have been simpler to reveal himself as the legendary King of War and annihilate everyone involved?Augustus exhaled, relieved to see Kian's agreement. "It's good that you’re willing to listen to me. But what do you plan to do
