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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0033: Are You From The Wilson's Family?
Savannah's face turned pale and she couldn't give an answer because there were no invitation cards with them. What had she been thinking, following Kian so mindlessly because he promised he was going to get them into the bidding event? He couldn't even get the invitation cards! Jasmine laughed at her lack of response. She quickly deciphered that something was wrong from her cousin's rare uneasy expression. "Cousin," She chuckled. "Do you not have any invitation cards? How do you want to get in then? Why did you waste so much time and money to come here? This isn't a place where ordinary people can just enter!" Ida's face turned taut with anger. "Shut up, you little brat. You should really learn how to respect your elders. How can you speak so ill in my presence?" After the dinner yesterday, Ida had decided that from the way the Wilson's family members treated them, it won't matter to her anymore if they accept them back or not! They were a bunch of selfish and greedy people.
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0034: Think Before Speaking
Savannah and Ida exchanged a look. They thought they were hearing things. Weren't the Wilson's family boasting a while ago? Why are they not suddenly allowed to enter? "Why can't we enter?!" Penelope was the first to regain her composure. The heavy make-up on her face couldn't conceal the paleness. "We have invitation cards and they were just verified so why do you suddenly say we can't enter?" "Yes, your invitation cards are indeed authentic," The soldier responded, his expression unwavering. "But we have received instructions from the higher-ups that none of the Wilson's family members is allowed to step into the conference center. Leave immediately to avoid further embarrassment." The faces of the Wilson's family members turned different shades of shame. They became anxious. How can this be? They got these invitations without any unscrupulous means so these soldiers must be playing tricks on them. Edward refused to let his family suffer this humiliation so he stepped forw
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0035: I Know A Way
The soldiers kept their weapons and saluted him. "Greetings, Magistrate Cody!" The Wilson's family members also looked over. Some of them had witnessed how Cody acted against Edward at the Opening Night Gala that day. He has no tolerance for nonsense. He will certainly kick Savannah and the others out once he finds out about what happened. But before any of the Wilson's family members could say anything, Cody looked at them grimly. "Get out! The Wilson's family members are not allowed in here!" His words were like a huge slap on their faces. They haven't even gotten a chance to introduce themselves yet. Cody didn't pay any more attention to them and looked over. Kian was standing calmly beside Savannah and Ida. Cody's eyes shone with a glint and he quickly walked over. But before he could speak, Jasmine called him, "Magistrate Cody, they are refusing to leave with us after the soldiers have given us the instructions!" Savannah's heart trembled and she clutched something

0214: Just Kill!
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
