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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0036: Show Me Your Invitation Card
Magistrate Cody had to part ways with Kian and his family when they got into the conference center as he had to attend to other guests. So Kian naturally led the way like he was familiar with the environment. The hall was noisy as there were a lot of people hanging around. The hall itself was decorated with the finest and most elegant designs. All of the guests in the hall were also wealthy tycoons, socialites and other influential people who were well known all over Valoria Prime. This grand scene caused Savannah and her mother to feel anxious. They walked cautiously, afraid of even touching something to avoid breaking it as they wouldn't be able to afford it. Kian smiled when he noticed their nervousness. "Relax. It's nothing. Don't overthink this," He gave Savannah's palm a gentle, reassuring squeeze. That was when she realized she had been holding his hand all along. Her face flushed slightly and she quickly snatched her hand away while giving him a nod. Even if she w

0228: Service F*e
Whenever the cops manage to raid Jackal's group, they are usually released at most three days after the raid. He always got away with everything he does. So everyone, including the traders and citizens were all terrified of him. No one dares to provoke him or get on his bad side.In the midst of the terror and commotion, Kian stood calmly with his hands behind his back. His expression was extremely calm and bored, like he was looking at a clown.He doesn't want to get involved with a lowlife like this thug in front of him. But the thing is, no matter how he tries to avoid trouble, trouble comes dancing his way."Go, take down the two of them and have them tightly bound for me," Jackal waved his hands at his lackeys."As you wish!"About ten of them or more grinned and approached the two men, one step at a time. Slowly, they surrounded them. Two against ten or more. It was obvious who was going to win.The onlookers were stunned that Kian still didn't react. He simply continued standin
0227: Bandits Leader
These onlookers are just there to watch the show. They are all talk, no action. There was no point arguing with these people. Besides, if they want to persecute someone, they should go after the real culprit.Kian's gaze fell on the shameless man still wailing and he uttered two words calmly, "Get lost."The man was so astonished he forgot to cry anymore. He stood up, keeping some distance away from the two of them. His kind was racing. This masked man is most certainly a martial artist. Will he dare to lay his hands on him in broad daylight!The sleazy middle-aged man was a bit scared but then he thought, ' How can I rip these two off without taking any risk myself?'Thinking of this, a sinister glint shone in his eyes and he quickly shouted again, "Did you all hear him? See his attitude! Humph!"As soon as he finished speaking, he doubled over, crouched and clutched his chest. "Ow! That kick must have fractured some of my ribs! It hurts badly! My family relies on me for a living. Ho
0226: Scums In Our Society
"Fried dumplings! Fried dumplings!""Get your steamed buns here!""You'll never find a better grilled corn than mine!""Mister... Mister, would you like to buy fried rice balls?""I have bubble tea here!""..."The melodious voices of the road side traders coupled with their cute accent filled the snack streets. Not to mention the mixed delicious aromas and different colourful snacks. Each trader also tried to get anyone who walked into the streets on their sides.Familiar memories swarmed Kian as they walked through the streets. When he was on the borders, they had mostly had to live on street foods. The roadside food trader he had loved visiting the most was a middle-aged woman who was still unmarried and childless.This was because she had been engaged to the love of her life when she was a youth. But suddenly, a war broke out and young men had to enlist in the army to assist the country. Her beloved was also deployed. He promised that when he returned they would get married.But t
0225: The Betrothed
Inhaling for a few seconds, Kian regained his composure. "The elder we are going to visit now was one of the people that saved my parents back then. My father used to say he also put his life on the line to allow them escape out of the imperial capital's borders. He was also the one that gave my father some money to enable my parents to survive during their first days of living in Valoria Prime."Wesley was silent. He suddenly thought, wouldn't the imperial Blackwood's family have found out about that elder's heroic behavior. Would he still be alive now?"General, that elder back then, is he still..." He trailed off, unable to complete his words but Kian quickly guessed what he was trying to say."Back then, those people had to help my parents secretly. When my father's other friend was killed on the borders, it was that elder that fought off those martial artists himself and killed many of them, scaring the rest into running away. He hid his identity pretty well also. The imperial Bl

"They are the Windsors, Harrington and Carrington families," Kian stroked his chin with one hand, focusing the rest on controlling the steering wheels. "These families have been oppressed by the other top imperial families in the past but it's a surprise they managed to remain calm till now."Wesley's lips parted again in an 'O' shape and he wanted to ask a question but felt too ashamed to do so. However, Kian knew he was curious as usual so he told him,"These families don't participate in the activities that the other imperial families are fully involved in. The other day, neither of their people were among the imperial families that came to Valoria Prime."Kian met Wesley's eyes in the interior rear view mirror as he shrugged, "I do not know what these families are planning or thinking but we will find out when we enter the city."Wesley nodded quietly, taking notes of the information for future reference. They were not going to Cascadia for sightseeing. In the future when they hav
0223: The Overlord Of The War Zone Domain
Thinking of his parents made his eyes glaze over for a minute. But then, Kian regained his composure and tightened his fingers around the steering wheel.'Father... Mother, it doesn't matter if you are unable to witness this glorious moment. But your son will spill the blood of your enemies and mourn you in heaven!'VROOM!The engine of the black sedan roared and then it raced towards the outline of the city ahead. Some minutes later when the car was getting closer to Cascadia, Kian looked up into the interior rear view mirror."Wesley.""Sir?" Wesley jolted from his curiosity and snapped his eyes to the interior rear view mirror. He had almost had his face plastered to the windows just now looking outside with intense curiosity.Kian would have facepalmed if his fingers weren't on the steering wheel. This man... What's with the sir? Shouldn't he learn to shed formalities now so it'll be easier when they arrive at Cascadia?Regardless, Kian overlooked this little slip up and pointed o
0222: Nostalgia
Those people will definitely be frightened and panicked by Kian's arrival in Cascadia. Then this won't be fun anymore. His plan is to mess with them mentally and in any other way possible!Plotting against his father and stripping off his position was one thing. Kicking his parents out of Cascadia with no means of survival was another. If it were just these offenses, Kian could easily overlook the imperial family's faults and let bygones be bygones.But the involvement of those people in the deaths of his parents was simply unforgivable! Even the heavens pleaded on behalf of those people, he won't ever let them go unscathed.It was too easy to just end the lives of those imperials as easily as they ended his parents' lives. The imperial Blackwood's family and the imperial Sinclair's family... Death would be an easy escape route for them.No, Kian won't grant them that opportunity. When he gets his way, there are many things he wants to accomplish. First, he will torture them to his he
0221: Mr Chauffeur
"From now on, I prohibit any of you from stepping into Valoria Prime! If you defy my orders, not only will you have to face the wrath of the commanding officer, you and your family's name will be removed from our genealogy forever!" The old patriarch's reddened eyes and loud voice was one to remember.The commanding officer finally smiled in satisfaction and waved his fingers dismissively again, "This incident must not be leaked to the public. Find a way to keep this away from the media or the consequences will be severe on your family.""Yes sir!"___________At the time that the Holloway's family admitted defeat and withdrew their plans to invade Valoria Prime, the same thing was also happening with the remaining four major provincial families of the Southern region.The four provincial families had been intercepted by the soldiers acting on the orders of the commanding officer before they could venture into Valoria Prime.The news that if any of them dared to step out of their home
0220: The War God
Isn't Kian the small-time son-in-law of a middle-class family? Isn't he just a mere spokesperson to that mysterious tycoon? Right, the tycoon! Could he be the one behind all this?Because the old patriarch couldn't believe the fact that Kian might be acquainted with this superior commander and also requested him to do this. However, now wasn't the time to ponder over those matters."I, the patriarch of the Holloway's family, pay my respect to the commanding officer of the Southern region!" The old patriarch shouted in a loud voice, then lowered his head and bowed right before his stunned relatives.Everyone was stupefied and confused. So this haughty officer is actually the famous commanding officer of the Southern region!Those who had spoken ill of the officer and disrespected him earlier were immediately paralyzed on spot in fear.THUD!THUD!THUD!One after the other... Row by row, everyone in the courtyard began to fall to their knees. The loud sound continued until hundreds of p
