"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.

    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

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

    Kian's lips curled up with a mocking smile. When he first met Margaret at the bank, he had seen how despicable she could be. How could someone like that change so quickly?But he was currently idle. He could entertain her tricks and see just how long she could keep up her charade so he lowered his face and nodded.Margaret’s smile brightened, and she turned around, her voice sweet as honey. "Come in, Mr Blackwood. Let me get you something to drink."She didn't do this often but she could make an exception for him. Alas, let him have his last drink before his doom.Without waiting for Kian's response, she happily skipped to a desk and poured out a cup of water for him. As she did, her fingers deftly brushed against a hidden button under the counter.The cameras in the showroom instantly deactivated, the tiny lights on their bases flickering off. A small smile tugged at her lips as she turned back, carrying the cup of water."Here sir," She was overly courteous as she handed the cup to

    "Are you so dumb that you don't understand?" Margaret sneered at him scornfully. She clenched her fingers on her wrist and some bright red marks appeared instantly. "Molestation and now assault. Do you know how many years this can get you in prison?" Then she laughed mockingly. "Oh, I forgot... That place seems to be like home to you." Kian's eyes flashed coldly and he gave her a lazy gaze. "Is this all?" Margaret was stunned by his words again. He didn't seem scared even though he already knows her plans. This bastard! Will he not cry until he can see the end? "I have to say, you made a big mistake... Birdbrained women like you are not my type." Margaret's face turned red with embarrassment and anger. How dare this lowly scum talk trash to her face? Her fists clenched and she gritted, "Humph! If you think these CCTV cameras are going to help you, you will be disappointed to know I turned them off earlier. Let's see how you prove your innocence now." "Oh, I'm so scared,"

That place seems to be like home to you." "Is this all? I have to say, you made a big mistake... Birdbrained women like you are not my type." Margaret was dumbfounded when these voices suddenly resonated in the air. Kian was holding up a phone. She panicked and instantly forgot about covering herself. "Stop him!" But no one moved as the recording continued playing till the last bit of the conversation. Margaret didn't know where to hide her face. "Do you still want to call the police?" Kian looked at the stupefied men calmly. "I can prove my innocence. I'm afraid someone else will be getting into trouble instead." "I can't believe this," The manager was exasperated. Holding back his pain, he glared at Margaret angrily. So he suffered a broken wrist because this stupid woman wanted to use

    The year was drawing closer to an end and the weather was getting colder. Although it was as early as nine am, the air was cold. In front of a villa, a family of three were standing beside a black sedan with a moist surface."Kian, Cascadia is different from Valoria Prime. There are more prominent and influential people there. Even if the tycoon behind you is wealthy and powerful, it's best to steer clear of trouble and stay safe."Savannah was straightening Kian's trench coat as she advised him in a soft tone. Perusing her beautiful face, Kian smiled and nodded."I understand ma'am. Don't wear yourself out with worry. I'll stay out of trouble.""Good," Savannah was satisfied with his response. She stood on her toes and brushed the strands of his hair that were out of play. "Remember, that man has helped us out a lot. Repay his kindness and do a perfect job for him. Don't give him any reasons to complain. When you arrive at Cascadia, also give us a call."Kian nodded dutifully. He ha

She was the one antagonizing Kian and Savannah's marriage in the first place but now, she would lecture Savannah every day.Telling her to take good care of Kian and not channel all her energy into the gallery. She even occasionally brought her signature soup to the hospital for Kian whenever she came for a visit.Thus, Kian could live peacefully during this period and enjoy what he lost in the past: having a family.Whenever the word 'family' crossed Kian's mind, he remembers his parents' death.

Their pictures will be shown on the screen..."Immediately the news anchor gave his report, two pictures were displayed on the screen with a warning above, 'GRAPHIC IMAGE WARNING.'The pictures were blurry but everyone present in the hall immediately recognized the people on the screen.

    When was the last time an elderly person nagged at him so tenderly like this? Kian's smile widened. Before this incident, Ida looked down on him. She wanted to kick him out of the house and their lives.Even though Nathaniel allowed him to marry Savannah, Kian always felt his father-in-law never truly accepted him. To them, he was more of an outsider than their son-in-law.But at that heartwarming moment, Kian didn't feel such discomfort anymore. Even though Ida was still nagging at him like always, he felt her resentment towards him had faded. It seemed as if the walls they had put up against him had completely broken down. "Remember all you just said next time," Nathaniel patted him with a smile.Kian nodded dutifully and looked at Ida, giving her doe-eyed expression. She scoffed and tried to hide her smile. But his expression was so persuasive that she gave in and patted him gently with a chuckle."Alright... Alright... Although you tend to not use your brain sometimes, you are qu

    Hours passed quickly and it was late in the night when the doors of the emergency room flew open. Kian was wheeled out by some doctors and taken to another VIP ward.In the ward, people like Savannah, Wesley, Magistrate Cody and others were already waiting for his arrival. Seeing that Kian was safe, everyone was filled with relief and joy.Savannah's eyes even began to tear up again. "Don't cry," Kian gave her a reassuring smile, seeing her tears. "They didn't manage... to get to... me thanks to that person.""Yes madam and we have conducted another test. He doesn't have any internal bleeding like was earlier suspected. We apologize for our incompetence," One of the doctors chimed in with a bow.However, thinking of the fact that Kian was almost abducted after how he suffered earlier made Savannah's nose sore and tears streamed down her face. She should have insisted on following the ambulance earlier. What would she have done if something really happened to Kian and he wasn't fortun

His palm hit the old man's fist and a terrifying force pressed down on the latter.Reginald's body trembled and he went still for a minute. He didn't get to retreat like before. His eyes widened as a shock rippled through his body. THUD!A wheezing gasp escaped his lips before he crumpled to the ground, clutching his chest as blood trickled from his mouth. This man... How could he simply be a powerful military martial artist? The power and force in just his strike was stronger than fifteen military martial artists combined together!The strike just one... Only a top tier ranked martial artist could perform it. The level at the peak of all martial arts was the War God level. And there was only one person ranked at the War God level in the entire Valoria country! That person was—Face contorted with pain, Reginald stuttered painfully, "You are... the... legendary king of war?!"In Valoria country, ther

Right before his horrified gaze, his right arm along the half broken piece of the surgical knife was cut off easily!It was as if Kian was handling meat. The fake doctor's face filled with fear and pain instantly! "You... How..."The metal pieces of the surgical knife were made from the same material so how could Kian do this easily? While the fake doctor was still dazed, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a severe pain in his throat. "Argh!" His eyes widened as his remaining fingers flew up to cover his throat while staggering right out of the ambulance. Looking at Kian, the disbelief, terror and hatred were evident in his eyes as blood spilled in between his fingers. THUD!He fell to the ground with a loud bang and convulsed all over but life immediately snuff out of him. Then his body laid still and stiff on the ground."Tommy!" The old man who had disguised as the driver howled in pain and

    Although the doctor's hands were covered with thin gloves, he could clearly feel that the doctor's palm was too rough. It was a norm that doctors who often need to hold surgical knives prioritize their hands the most.Some doctors even had expensive insurance specifically for their hands. This is because their hands are too rough, the control and flexibility will be affected which is forbidden for doctors.Kian laid still and focused on the feel of the doctor's hands. It seems to him as if the roughness of the hands was not due to lack of care. Rather, he would have said these rough hands were results of years of martial arts training!And just now, his colleagues were showing concern. At least, one would have thanked them. But the doctor was not only reluctant to speak and even insisted he was fine. Kian instantly became alert. This kind of person is suspicious... There is something wrong somewhere.

    Savannah's eyes widened at Kian's words and the red tinge in her cheeks deepened. She lowered her head shyly but after a minute of hesitation, she nodded. Under Kian's dazed look, she leaned in, closed her eyes and pressed her soft, pink lips against his bruised ones.This time, it was different from the last time that their lips simply brushed each other. Kian quickly regained his composure and kissed her passionately.The ward which had a medicinal air earlier seemed to be giving off romantic vibes. Kian only let Savannah go when she had almost run out of breath.She pulled back and panted softly: her face as red as tomato. However, she didn't take her eyes off Kian. Thus, he was able to notice how her eyes filled up with tears again. "Hubby, I'm sorry... I completely misunderstood you and even got you into so much trouble..." Her face was filled with guilt and remorse.However, Kian was taken aback. "You... What did you just call me?"Savannah was speechless and flushed furiously
