"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

"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

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

At the City's Hospital: Ida walked into the ward with a big smile and a lunchbox. Nathaniel was sitting on the bed. The color was back in his face and he seemed to be recovering faster than expected. He was no longer looking bony as the first time and was starting to look more recognizable. He even gave Ida a smile as she walked in. "I see you are recovering quite well, old man. You look happy today." Nathaniel's smile widened. "It's because of the marvelous doctor father has gotten for me. Every one of his medical sessions leaves me rejuvenated. I can feel my bones again." Ida's smile disappeared and her head snapped up. "Father was here?" Nathaniel nodded with a big smile. That was when she noticed there were several bouquets of flowers hanging around the bedside. There was a big basket of fruits on the table too. How did she miss all these? Nathaniel even had an apple in his hand. "Look," He stretched out his arms. "The ointment the doctor applied has caused all my sca

0334: Pay Them A Visit Together
When Roland Harrington finally stopped, he was panting heavily while Tristan lay on the ground like a dog. His face was bruised and battered. His expensive tuxedo was also covered in different footprints. He was in a sorry state. "You worthless piece of trash!" Roland Harrington before wiping off the sweat on his forehead and turning to Kian.In an instant, the furious expression on his face changed as he turned around. What replaced it was a sweet, sickly smile. "Master... No, leader... I sincerely apologize for my grandson's ignorance," he apologized in a low and submissive tone. "He doesn't understand the rules, but I have already taught him a lesson. Please don't hold him to it."Master?Leader?Tristan was taken aback while Charlotte Lane was terrified. They were at the venue of the contests of the ancient martial arts alliance sects, so they understood perfectly what these titles mean.Is this some sort of joke?! Tristan stared at his grandfather baffled. This masked bastar
0332: Let's Catch Up
The spectators exchanged strange looks amongst themselves, with some holding back their laughter. The situation was hilarious. The famous, arrogant heir apparent of the aristocratic Harrington's family was on his knees. What a sight!Even Kian smiled behind his mask. Although people couldn't see his smile, they heard it in his voice as he spoke, "Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to greet me with such a grand gesture on our first meeting or what do you think, Tristan?"His sarcastic and mocking tone snapped Tristan out of his daze immediately. Who the hell does this bastard think he is? How dare he assume a whole heir like him would bow to a lowly bastard?!Tristan flared up immediately, his face turning a deep shade of red. "You bastard! Do you want to be taught a lesson?!"As he shouted, he forced himself to get back on his feet and throw a punch in Kian's direction. But just as he made a move again, a big palm clouded his vision.SMACK!Roland Harrington's wild swing sent Tristan stum
0331: Chose Tristan Over That Man...
Charlotte was still Tristan's girlfriend, and seeing her hurt like this was a huge slap on his face. So even if everyone present, including Charlotte, mistakes his anger for concern and his love for her, to Roland, his grandson's anger was justifiable."Just send someone to handle it. Do you really need to create such a scene here and ask me?'' Roland Harrington scoffed in exasperation."That guy has a strong background!" Charlotte, who had been silent, chose that moment to speak. Her voice was filled with grievance and anger. "Not only did he hurt me, he also nearly crippled the young master of the Faye's family!"The crowd gasped in surprise. What? There was someone that would actually dare to commit these atrocities without any fear for his life?!"Not only that," Charlotte hadn't finished speaking. "He also threatened to publicly humiliate the Faye's family, Smith's family and Hall's family in three days—"WHACK!"Shut up!" Tristan's facial features had hardened as he slapped her
0330: No Big Deal
The spectators immediately stepped back, distancing themselves from the young man who was saying awful things about Charlotte Lane's amputated hands earlier."I asked you to repeat what you said," the iciness in Tristan's eyes and voice deepened as he fixed his gaze on the young man."I... I... I..." The young man looked terrified out of his wits and stuttered, unable to utter a complete sentence.BANG!Footsteps echoed as the five muscular bodyguards in black surrounded him, giving him no room for escape!THUD!The young man trembled and collapsed to the ground on his knees with a loud thud. He bowed severally as he pleaded pitifully, "Tristan, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I spoke without thinking. Please...."His voice shook as he apologized, and his face had turned pale. But before he could complete his words, Tristand extended a leg with a vicious expression and kicked him!BANG!"Argh!" The young man clutched his stomach, howling in pain as he fell down flat. It didn't stop her
0329: The Favored Heir Apparent
But then Kian thought about it. Now that he is in the imperial capital, his ultimate goal is to uproot those forces behind the aristocratic Blackwood's family that are hiding in the dark.To make headway, he would need a weighty position in the capital. The position of the ancient martial arts alliance leader fits that perfectly. And if things get too complicated, he could just hand over the affairs of the alliance to Augustus Vane. With this thought in mind, Kian's lips curved beneath his mask delightfully. He no longer hesitated. His pale face gained some colors as he clasped his hands in gratitude to the crowd's cheers and bowed.His humble acceptance made the crowd go wild and cheered even louder. He raised his head and stumbled off the ring.As soon as he got out, Rolad Harrington rushed over with a group of some other members and quickly surrounded him."Congratulations, alliance leader!" Roland Harrington was beaming with a smile as he clasped his hands once again. "Thank yo
0328: The New Alliance Leader
Upon hearing the spectators' jeers and mockery, the faces of the remaining elders in the ring turned darker than a gloomy cloud. They all had the same thoughts in their minds. This is all because of this old rascal Grimm. Why did he suddenly withdraw from the contest without a reason?! The position of the ancient martial arts alliance leader was something they all wanted to vie for, although not through unscrupulous methods like Silas Nightingale and his allies. But now, with the public's current opinion, how could they possibly fight for it? If someone were to truly defeat all of them and become the leader, then they would have to endure the disdain of the public's disdain for the rest of their lives! "I also withdraw from the contest!" Another female elder who had been in alliance with Grimm and was fighting back Silas Nightingale's allies earlier raised her voice just before jumping out of the ring. "I won't compete either!" Another elder declared in agreement to her words
0327: Shortsighted
Ambrose Darkmore trembled all over. He raised his head with the last strength he could muster and locked eyes with the person who spoke. His eyes shook when he saw who it was—Roland Harrington. The latter scoffed and shrugged calmly, "Don't give me that look. I'm just making a reasonable expression."'Damn it!' Ambrose Darkmore was so furious his chest was about to burst open. His frustration surged so that his heart ached more. He spat out a mouthful of blood helplessly before—THUD!His lifeless body collapsed on the ground with a dull thump. The sword held up his motionless body in a gory sight.The martial arts prodigy that had made a name as the 'Sword Maniac' in the martial arts community of the imperial capital was literally driven to death not by his sword but rage!The masked figure raised his head in the direction where the members of the aristocratic Harrington's family were occupying and arched his eyebrows at Roland Harrington. What a great assistance!This patriarch of
0326: First In History!
At the ring, Ambrose Darkmore stared blankly at the chaos happening above. What's going on? How could this be happening? He hasn't done anything wrong, so why was he being shunned and labeled as a disgrace?!"It wasn't me! I didn’t do anything! I didn’t—" He roared, desperate to make one last attempt at fixing his ruined reputation.SWOOSH!SWISH!WHOOSH!...All he received in response was a barrage of shoes, water bottles, drink bottles, snacks, and other objects raining down on him."Boo!!!!" Some spectators even ridiculed him. They all witnessed the truth of what happened, didn’t they? There was such undeniable evidence against him, yet he was still trying to prove his innocence! He is truly shameless to the core!In the ring, Ambrose Darkmore's face turned ashen once more. He froze in a spot, not even trying to dodge. He just let the objects hit him.At that moment, he was filled with an overwhelming sense of despair. The reputation of his sect was already in tatters as everyon
0325: Renounce
"Aren't you afraid that this old man will suddenly turn on you all also?!" Kian shouted in desperation.The faces of the three elders contorted into a cruel grin, and one of them retorted, "We are more concerned about seeing you dead first!"Then, the four elders ignored him completely and launched their attacks relentlessly! SWISH! Ambrose Darkmore thrusted his sword forward. His attack was so fierce that his blade pierced right through Kian's left shoulder!But at that same time, another elder was attacking Kian from behind. Kian's eyes curved in a mysterious manner as he reached out and—A strange force seemed to erupt from the masked figure, gripping Ambrose Darkmore's wrist so tightly that he couldn't move!His sharp blade glinted in the light, almost blinding one's eyes. Suddenly, the hair of the elder attacking from behind stood on the end as he screamed in horror, "No!"But before his voice could fade, the sword that had seemingly pierced Kian's left shoulder drove into his
