The Legendary King Of War Returns 0042: Langston's Promises
"Hey, lower your voice. Don't get us into trouble," Someone from the group cautioned the person that had just spoken."Hasn't Langston always been stealing the resources of Luminary Films? He wants them out of business. Besides, that company hasn't produced any award-winning movies since it was established. They don't have any notable artistes.""Hush... Don't say that if you don't know the full story. I heard Langston wanted to buy out the company but the CEO refused and even offended him. Since then, he has been stealing away all their resources and even artistes. The old geezer even had his way with some of the female actresses and those who dared to refuse him, he tarnished their images causing Luminary Films to plunge into despair and debts.""That old man, Langston, is really a bastard. Even though he's on his third wife, he's slept with almost all his female artistes. No wonder they’re always in the limelight and at the peak."Kian's frown deepened. He wasn't knowledgeable abou

"Kian," Savannah stood up and looked down at his hand anxiously. Although Langston was a despicable man, his influence was not lesser than that of the Grays and Sinclairs. It was unwise to go against him like this. She tugged at his sleeve, silently pleading with him to let go. Reluctantly, Kian released his grip. "Ow!" Langston howled in pain, clutching his wrist. He could barely feel his hand. This bastard was looking a bit scrawny but his grip was surprisingly so strong. Besides, Savannah was standing so close to him. "Hey! Whose family son are you? How dare you act so audaciously?" One tycoon banged his palm on the table and pointed at Kian. Langston, who was still nursing his injured wrist, demanded, "Do you know him?" His eyes bore into Savannah. "He..." Savannah looked at Kian and was lost of words. She appreciated Kian stepping in to defend her, but she wasn't ready to reveal their relationship to these people. "She's my woman," Kian pulled her closer, leaving no

Outside the Imperial Summit Pavilion, Jasmine hurried to the waiting SUV, her smile wide and triumphant. As she slid into the back seat, her family leaned in, eager for news. "Elder sister, were you able to report them successfully?" Penelope's eyes were gleaming with anticipation "What do you expect?" Jasmine's smile widened, full of pride. "Turns out, my former coursemate is now a Major in the military." "Wow. That bastard Kian won’t stand a chance against such power," Penelope clapped excitedly. "Exactly," Jasmine's eyes sparkled. "Magistrate Cody tried to protect them, but Gabriel confronted him head-on. He said even if the president himself showed up, he wouldn’t be able to save those low lives." Grandfather Wilson and Edward Wilson exchanged pleased looks, their faces brightening at her words. Sensing their satisfaction, she continued, her voice tinged with mock regret. "Even the Grays and Sinclairs showed up. Seems like that scum Kian offended them too. I really can’t un
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0045: It Must Be Fake!
"His clothes seem to be the same as that scum," Edward's voice trembled when the camera lingered around the mysterious tycoon on the television but still didn't show his face. The entire Wilson's family must have held their breath in shock as they had the same weird thought. Could the tycoon be— How is that possible?! It just doesn't add up. At the same time on the live broadcast showing on the television, the tycoon stepped on the podium. Slowly, he lifted his head and smiled. The camera zoomed in as he addressed them politely, "Congratulations to everyone who managed to attend this bidding event." "Kian?!" Someone from the Wilson's family shrieked. "My goodness!" "How is this possible?" "How can the mysterious tycoon that took Valoria Prime city by storm be this lowlife?!" "Am I dreaming? Someone wake me up!" The Wilson's family were shocked and unable to move. Well, not everyone... Douglas was staring at the television screen with a thoughtful expression. He w
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0046: Find A Solution
On the large screen, people were talking but the Wilson's family couldn't hear a word they were saying. The ex-convict and scum they looked down upon was really the one behind the billion-dollar investment. Thinking of the way he had bragged that the event wouldn't even hold if he wasn't present there, how he managed to get in without an invitation card, why he was so familiar with Magistrate Cody, all these were enough to make the Wilson's family dumbfounded. "Grandfather," Julian suddenly looked up from his phone with a wide-eyed expression. He lifted his phone. "Look at this, the set of porcelain tea cups he brought that day were really dynasty!" "What?" Another wave of shock descended. Grandfather Wilson snatched the phone away from Julian's hands and peered at the screen. His old, wrinkly eyes widened when he saw that even the web couldn't give an exact amount of the tea cups were worth. But there was an estimation that they were worth several billions. This alone was
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0047: My Good Son-in-law
"Mom?" Savannah was worried. Did the shocking revelation make her mother go crazy? She didn't know what to say to Kian as she still didn't know what to think but she was concerned about her mother. Ida shook her head and wiped out the tears from the edge of her eyes. "I'm fine... It's just— Do you know how everyone looked at me tonight before we left?" "I am very popular at that smelly grocery market but tonight, for the first time, those wealthy people at the hall wanted to serve me! It's just so—satisfying!" Upon hearing this, a small smile tugged at Savannah's lips. All these years, she has endured people's humiliation and mockery. But tonight, she became the focus of everyone's attention. Thousands of people looked at her with envy and jealousy. The feeling was overwhelming. "Mother-in-law," Kian had an awkward smile and looked like he wanted to tell them something but Ida was having none of it. "My good son-in-law, come. Have a seat," Her behavior towards him took

"Some days ago, rumors spread that the heir apparent of the family, Keaton, is terribly ill and needs an urgent bone marrow transplant," Colonel Marcus spoke slowly, watching Kian's expression. He wasn't surprised to see the coldness displayed in Kian's eyes as he spat, "How does this concern me, Colonel?" Colonel Marcus knew Kian was fuming now as he had switch to formalities. But the matter was urgent and although he was risking his life, he had to let Kian know. "Don't you understand? Your cousin is on the verge of death," Seeing Kian's impassive gesture, he continued, "The family needs a suitable bone marrow donor. And the most suitable donor happens to be..." "Me?" Kian cut his words with a bone chilling laughter. "Why? Isn't the heir apparent the most precious one? Can't the Blackwoods sacrifice one of their own to save him?" Colonel Marcus rubbed his suddenly aching temple and shook his head. "It is not that they can't use one of their people. It is just that they are
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0049: An Old Friend
Kian was in good spirits the next day. Although he hadn't made much progress in his relationship with Savannah, she and her mother were treating him a bit more fairly than before. He even got a duvet last night. Now he just has to figure out a way to tell them the truth.Today, he had to meet with Maximilian Hart as he owed the latter a meal for making him rush back to the country for the Opening Night Gala and put Anthony in his place.Currently, they were sitting in a private room of a luxurious restaurant. The table was filled with several delicious dishes. "Thank you for the other night," Kian raised a glass of wine in his direction."It's nothing. What are friends for?" Maximilian returned his smile and raised his own glass. "I'm still peeved that you returned to the country and didn't even let me know."Kian's fingers played with a fork as he lowered his eyes. "I don't think we are close enough to share that kind of information."Maximilian was speechless. They are not close en

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

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
