"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 Legendary King Of War Returns 0026: Repeat Your Words
"Brother," Edward's face also appeared on the screen and he bowed. "I acted foolishly and unwise as an elder brother and no amount of apology can erase what I have done but I'm sincerely sorry." Nathaniel's face darkened and he didn't say a word. He appeared to try to say something but no words left his lips and he could only shake his head. "Alright... Alright... We won't disturb you any longer. Have a rest. We will come over to visit you and Edward will personally tender another apology to you," Grandfather Wilson broke the ice. "Father..." A frown appeared on Edward's lips as his face snapped up. He wanted to say something but the glare he received from his father shut him up. He watched as the phone was returned to Savannah and the call was disconnected. They had prepared such a grand feast solely because of Nathaniel and now, he wasn't even here. How will they ask him to drop the charges against him then? What was the use of putting up such a good show when his life was
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0027: Don't Interfere In Our Family's Affairs!
The terrifying expression on Kian's face subsided and he dropped the knife. Another table was arranged for him by the side and he sat down calmly. Everyone soon forgot about the argument and the feast started. They were surprisingly friendly to Ida and Savannah, making them feel at ease gradually. They even made small conversations and offered them the best of the delicacies laid out. Soon, a little smile appeared on Savannah's face. Although she held a grudge against them, she hasn't felt any familial affection for such a long time so she lowered her guard. Besides, her mother also seemed happy for a while. When the meal was drawing closer to the end, grandfather Wilson chose that moment to speak. "Ida, you and your family have suffered over the years. We all owe you an apology." The hall quietened when he spoke. "Yes, sister-in-law," Bridget gave her an apologetic smile. "My husband owes you and brother-in-law an apology. We are sorry." "I'm sorry," Edward stood and cho

Jasmine also felt proud. She linked her arm around Henry's arm and smiled shyly. "Grandfather, I'm sorry I couldn't visit you at the hospital. I was on a trip to Milan with Henry." The relatives turned envious at her words again. "Oh my God! Milan?" "He really spoils her." "Just look at how he dotes on her. How dreamy!" Some maids walked in just then, carrying different bags with designer logos. Everyone craned their necks to see what was in it as they laid them on the table. "Grandfather," Jasmine pointed at the bags. "Although I couldn't visit you at the hospital, Henry had these tonics and vitamin supplements flown from abroad for you. I heard they are very good for your health and will even make you feel younger." Grandfather Wilson's eyes curved as gasps rang out in the hall. He looked very pleased and proud of his grand-daughter. This is why she is his favorite. She is so thoughtful and intelligent unlike someone who chose to forgive and be with a jerk. "Not onl
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0029: The Gap Is Immeasurable
"Oh really," Jasmine's smile didn't fade and even widened. "Why have you been hiding it then? Show us what you have prepared." "Will it be as impressive as the one brother Henry brought?" One younger relative quipped. "Shut up. You think too highly of this wretched man. How can he present a gift more exquisite than the one Henry has brought?" Someone quickly cautioned him. Savannah frowned as she stared at Kian. She knew better than anyone that he didn't have money or the time to prepare a gift so how could he lie so confidently? Thinking of it, she remembered that she had seen a bag in his hands earlier but didn't pay any attention to it. She only remembered when he brought it out and placed it on the table. Seeing that he wasn't joking, all eyes focused on him as they were curious to see what the pauper had to offer. Right before everyone, Kian brought out an old, plain, undecorated box to the table. When he opened it, everyone could see the set of tea cups with cracked g
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0030: It's Just A Small Invite
Even though Kian sat down quietly as instructed, he still managed to draw attention to himself. Everyone laughed at him again and Ida felt tired. Maybe they should just save themselves some faces now and quietly leave. However, just as everyone was talking about the investment bid happily, Douglas raised a question. "Father, don't you think it's too strange that the mysterious tycoon chose Valoria Prime of all cities to begin his investment project? Valoria Prime is not a small city but it is only a second tier city. It is nothing compared to other Valorian cities" Voices quietened at his words and eyes were on him. "It is not a transportation center like the cities in Valoria east, a trade center like the cities in Valoria Central or an entertainment zone like the cities in Valoria West so why will a tycoon suddenly want to invest billions of dollars here?" "Are you insinuating that there might be a problem with the investment bid?" Grandfather Wilson's brows knitted. "Wha

"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
0260: I Have Faith In You
"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
