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 Legendary King Of War Returns 0031: Do One Thing For Me
A hush fell upon the hall as every eye turned to Kian's direction once again. The silence was only for a second before someone laughed. "Pfft!" The entire hall erupted with laughter and they all looked at Kian like he had gone crazy. Savannah couldn't hold back her anger any longer and yelled at him. "Have you gone completely crazy? Why don't you just sit quietly and keep your mouth shut? Haven't you said enough?" "I'm telling the truth. If I don't attend the event, the investment won't even take place," Kian answered firmly. Everyone was surprised at how he managed to remain so calm while telling a blatant lie. How could someone this shameless exist? "Wait, has penury gotten to your brain? Who do you think you are huh?" One relative snorted at him. "They need to beg you to attend the bidding event huh? Who are you? Why do you attach great importance to yourself?" "No, brother... I think he's being delusional now. He must think of himself as the tycoon that organized t
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0032: Divorce My Daughter And Leave!
Wesley's eyes clashed with the interior rear view mirror again as his brows arched. The Wilsons? Isn't that the family of the general's wife? Did they offend the general again? The latter looked furious. No matter how curious Wesley was, he didn't dare to ask questions and simply nodded, "Understood sir. I'll pass your information to the security team." Kian nodded and retracted his gaze. "If they try to create a scene, have them dealt with severely." "Yes sir!" "Drop me at the nearest stop to the house." When Kian returned to the house, Ida was waiting for him with a murderous expression. As soon as he walked in, she unleashed her fury. "How do you still have the guts to return to this house? You useless prick! This was our chance to reunite and return to our family but you ruined that for us! Who do you think you are to run your mouth off like that?" Savannah was silent but her beautiful face was gloomy. She was utterly disappointed by Kian's performance back there. Sh

0322: Should Never Have Underestimated Him
At this time, Kian had already staggered to the edge of the ring when he was hit with another fierce strike from Ambrose Darkmore. The blade slashed through his back and tore through his robe, revealing a trail of bloody line."Ugh!" He spewed a mouthful of blood and breathed laboriously. He was already critically injured. Seeing him in this state, Silas Nightingale was overjoyed and charged forward. "Keep it up! He's already at the end of his wits!"Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders were also delighted. They prepared to strike again and give Kian the final blow. Feeling the terrifying gusts of wind swirling around him, Kian arched a bloodied eyebrow. After being attacked for the nth time, he was now utterly battered. This act has been on for too long, it's time to put an end to it.So this time, he stood firm on the spot and didn't dodge. Panting heavily, he waited for Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders to close in on him. To the spectators, it appeared
0321: Could He Be Putting On An Act?
The central square was in a somber atmosphere. The crowd's emotions stirred because of Roland. But Wesley, who the show was for, simply looked at the middle-aged man speechlessly.He couldn't help but ponder, 'Did the general hire this old man to play this dramatic role and add more fuel to the fire? Why is he performing so enthusiastically?'In the ring, Kian, who was supposedly beaten to the brink of death, felt his face twitch severally. 'Who is this person that's acting so dramatic? I didn’t hire anyone...'Even the facial expressions of Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders in the ring changed. They threw Roland grim looks and scoffed,"Why are you shouting so dramatically? Are you really so sad?!"If one didn't know better, they would have mistook Kieran for Roland's first son with the way he was wailing.Everyone knows the presence of Harrington's family at the square today was to recruit powerful martial artists for their family, but even if Kieran dies at
0320: Crying Over Spilled Milk
BANG!BANG!BANG!Just as Kian was about to tumble out of the ring in a bloody mess, Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders struck him again. Two of them dragged him back to the center of the ring, leaving behind a large trail of blood, which made the hearts of the spectators bleed even more.They didn't stop there and immediately pounced on him. Within the few minutes that they began their assault, Kian was already drenched in blood. He looked motionless and utterly defeated.Meanwhile, at the area that had been designated for the Dark Legion sect, which was now occupied by the representatives of the aristocratic Harrington's family, Roland Harrington was seething furiouslyHe was on the edge and visibly frustrated. At any rate, the masked man will obviously not survive! How could he lose a gem when he just found it? His eyes instinctively trailed from the ring to the section in the tent of the Sacred Shadow sect where Wesley was sitting. At this point, he couldn
0319: Their Beloved Hero
Grimm and the other two elders who opposed the proposal had displeased and grim expressions on their faces. But Silas Nightingale paid them no attention. In his own opinion, the ten elders that chose to support his proposal and stand on his side were enough to completely defeat this masked man."Attack with no mercy!" Silas' eyes turned icy as he shouted fiercely. His words were a clear command to the other elders.Kill with no mercy!BOOM!Silas emanated a powerful murderous aura that was enough to make people tremble as he stormed towards Kian. He moved at such a lightning speed people could barely see his feet. Just then, something unexpected happened. Grimm had unsheathed his long sword and rushed down to the ring. The two other elders had also followed him down."Two of you, attack!" Grimm commanded in a low tone, brandishing his sword in the air.SWISH!The long blade surged forward and slashed at the throat of the nearest elder. The sound of slicing and piercing through fles
0318: The Votes Result
Ambrose Darkmore thought long and hard before speaking. Eventually, he raised his grim face and said, "I agree with Silas' proposal."As soon as he spoke, a member of the Divine Sword sect immediately countered his decision, "Master, this is not right. It is inappropriate to—"Ambrose Darkmore's face darkened, and he snapped back in an icy tone without even allowing the man to complete his words, "Shut up! You have no right to question my decision!"The man's face turned red and shrunk back into his seat. He dared not speak anymore. Just then, another elder raised his hand. "I agree with Silas' proposal. It is time to elect a new leader for the alliance."Another elder with a huge scar nodded and raised his head. The scar on his face widened as he looked down at the ring. "Kieran is powerful. His injuries are certainly not that serious. They shouldn't affect him much.""Silas, I agree.""I also agree.""..."Each of the elders spoke one after the other, and soon, the voting results w
0317: Underhanded Tactics
"Silas, why go to such lengths?" Roland Harrington suddenly stepped forward with a dark face. "The alliance does need a new leader but why the sudden rush?"His words filled the hearts of many of Kian's new supporters with joy. They didn't expect that someone from the aristocratic Harrington's family would suddenly speak up for Kian.Not just someone. The patriarch of the family himself. At least, the aristocratic family also saw the injustice unfolding. Meanwhile, in the tent allocated to the members of the Sacred Shadow sect, Wesley had a strange expression on his face as he looked straight ahead at the middle-aged man who had just spoken up.It was strange indeed. The aristocratic Harrington's family was actually pleading for the general?!If the old man from the aristocratic Harrington's family knew that the person he was trying to plead for and win over was Kian Blackwood, the same person most if not all the aristocratic families wanted to eliminate...Would he stand there tall
0316: Eager To Meet Their Ancestors
Slowly and gradually, voices rose in the square. Kian's previous performance had been so stunning. He had quickly captivated the hearts of many spectators. Now, there were a lot of people willing to support him and speak up for him. Even many disciples of the Heavenly Flame sect who were sitting behind Silas Nightingale had grim expressions, but no one spoke up.In the martial arts community, only strength is truly revered. Kian had already earned their respect through his actions. So, they were inadvertently dissatisfied with their leader's behavior. They looked at each other and began to whisper among themselves.Even if the elders see Kian as a threat and want to eliminate him, couldn't they have waited till Kian recovered, and then they could face him openly. "Silas, does it not seem a bit inappropriate to do this now?" Augustus Vane's facial expression had darkened as he questioned angrily. Even the members of the Sacred Shadow sect had all begun to glare at Silas. It wasn't
0315: If The Former Leader Was Alive...
While it may seem like the top aristocratic families of the Cascadia were equally powerful and reigning, only people at core positions like the patriarchs of the families including Roland knew the truth. The aristocratic Blackwood's family was not just the number one aristocratic family in Cascadia for nothing. They had long surpassed the other aristocratic families by a huge margin. Which was why even if some aristocratic families were offended with them regarding the attitude of that bastard from the Blackwood's family, they couldn't do anything much to harm the family. The patriarchs of all the aristocratic families also knew that it was only possible for the Blackwood's to be in this state because of the support of that mysterious force behind them. Roland Harrington had tried every means to extract information about those forces from the Blackwood's family. But that cunning old man, Mortimer Blackwood kept his mouth tightly short, refusing to reveal information about them
0314: The Real Top Tier Forces
Everyone could see Kian laughing carelessly and wiping the blood that was trickling down his mouth, but no one knew he was actually cursing inwardly. "Damn! If I knew acting was so exhausting, I would have asked Vivienne to give me some acting lessons," he mumbled to himself. With his physical strength alone, he could easily defeat Calvin and the other second tier leaders. Not only them, even if the elders of the council, including Silas Nightingale, Ambrose, and Grimm, decide to attack him simultaneously, he could still defeat them! After all, his martial arts level was that of a martial war god. A martial artist at the peak level of the war god was different from other levels and beyond human comprehension. But if this were to be revealed to the public, it would certainly cause uproar. Actually, Kian doesn't care if his identity is revealed to the elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance Council or the aristocratic families of Cascadia. What he truly cares about is find
