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
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

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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0051: A Clown's Performance
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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0052: Call The Cops!
"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,"

"Yes! I was just— ah, what are you doing?!" "Are you so dumb that you don't understand? Molestation and now assault. Do you know how many years this can get you in prison? Oh, I forgot... 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 sound of the horror you feel just before your death. That one you made just now—" Kian grinned like he had just saved the world. "—was my favourite sound. It's the sound I love to hear the most."Kian stepped closer and crouched till he could look the dying man directly in the eye. He patted his hair which appeared to be the only place that survived the metal shards."Ugh!" Axel groaned and convulsed painfully. But Kian's grin only widened as he informed him in a chilly tone, "Be rest assured. You are not alone. Brax and his fellow disciples will be waiting for you on the way to hell when you close your eyes. It's not good to keep them waiting as they have been waiting for a long time."Axel trembled all over after hearing this. Even at his time of death, he wondered, 'Who is this monster?'"Go on. Also, don't forget to extend my greetings to them," Kian's words felt like the last decree told to someone about to be executed.The moment he stopped talking, Axel's head tilted and
0267: Who Are You?!
Wesley and Kian exchanged a look. The former got weird vibes from Axel's sinister gaze. 'Huh, general, I think I need saving.'Axel didn't miss a step forward as he continued, "First, the soft moans of a woman, then the pleasurable groans of a man and lastly, the helpless cries of someone in despair.""Hahaha!" Axel's men threw their heads back and laughed. They all understood his words. Their boss seems to have found his new boy toy.Jackal's lips curled into a frown as he looked at the men laughing. Axel's words sounded weird for some reason. The pleasurable groans of a man?"Ah," He gasped softly when realization dawned on him. His eyes narrowed in disgust. He knew Axel had a reputation for being lustful but he never knew he had this dirty nature.But then Jackal shrugged. It doesn't matter as long as Axel keeps his own end of the deal. As long as he makes these two bastards pay for what they have done, it doesn't matter even if he imprisons Wesley to be his boy toy.Axel's eyes wr
0265: Sounds I Love To Hear
Jackal gulped in fear, feeling less convinced with his own words. Working with someone like Axel was like going into the lion's den.He knew that Axel will really do as he has just said and hang up his severed head at the town square if those people never show up. Although the Martial Arts Alliance had set some rules that prohibited martial artists from killing ordinary citizens, Axel doesn't seem to care about those rules.To a martial artist, accidentally killing someone or more people would only warrant at most a minor punishment. The lives of martial artists were more important to the Alliance than that of ordinary citizens."Axel, don't worry. I promise you they'll show up," Jackal's voice trembled slightly as he tried to assure Axel.The latter nodded and wanted to pass instructions to his men when two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. Jackal's eyes widened with recognition. It was the men from the food street walking side by side! "Axel, look, it's them,
0265: Ruthless Slayer
When Kian and Wesley got out of the sect, the town was still bustling with activities although it was still very early in the morning. "We'll head to Garrett first. I remember he told me he runs a hotel. We could stay there first and then also ask him about the wedding date," Kian suggested as they walked into the town. Wesley nodded without objections and quickly followed his lead. Meanwhile, in a dimly lit alley, there were several men armed with weapons like knives, guns and even clubs. They were all huddled in one corner and all seemed to be asleep except a few of them.Among them, a man wrapped with thick gauze all over was assisted to the front by another man. The bandaged man was the thug, Jackal. The one Cyprus had beaten up, leaving him broken at the food street earlier that day.With all the bandages wrapped around him like a mummy, Jackal was barely recognizable and he looked ridiculous. His dark eyes watched straight out of the alley without blinking. They were filled wi
0264: He Beat Me Up... Again
"Cough! Cough!" Wesley choked and quickly grabbed a cup of water. When he regained his composure, he turned to Kian with eyes as wide as saucers.He couldn't believe there was actually someone that beat up the general. Well, that was when he was younger but still—"He probably didn't know about your identity, right?""No," Kian shook his head. "He only found out the next day after I cried to my parents to have his family thrown out of our rental home."Wesley laughed smugly and winked, "Then, he must have come to grovel at your feet and plead."The smug smirk on Wesley's face was wiped off by Kian's words, "No. He actually beat me up again."Wesley's jaws dropped. He turned off the stove because the soup was starting to burn and turned around abruptly. "What?"Kian laughed at the recollection of the past. "Yes, he beat me up again and then dared me to go running to my parents to kick his family out of Valoria Prime this time since we were so powerful."Now Wesley held his stomach and

[SAVANNAH]Kian's fingers hovered over the caller ID that was displaying on his phone's screen. He opened up the call record and realized there were two calls from his wife just some hours ago.The last call seemed to have gone on for some minutes. Kian's fingers flew to his lips and he facepalmed. "My goodness, what did you say?" He whispered to himself. He couldn't recall anything from his conversation with Savannah but he must have been very drunk when he answered her call.He was scared of what he might have said to her but he couldn't even remember what he said. Not only did he forget to give her a call when he arrived in the imperial capital city, he also spoke to her while he was a drunken mess."Kian, what did you do?" He slapped himself on the face. Just as he was pondering, the voice came again.'I hope you are assailed with loads of hangovers tomorrow!'He jolted up like he had been electrocuted. Realization dawned on him and his eyes widened. Now he knows why he felt that
0262: Drunken Mess ii
By the time Kian managed to bring out the phone, it had stopped chiming. He shook his head and sighed. But he was too drunk to think of where exactly to press on the screen so he gave up trying and wanted to return to the table when—RING!RING!RING!A frown etched on his face when the phone started chiming again. He answered the call without checking the caller ID, not like he would be able to read the words if he could."Kian," A strange yet familiar melodious voice came through the line. Kian paused, his heart suddenly filled with so much sweetness that was threatening to overtake the sadness in it. "Hello.""You promised to call... We waited all day," The melodious voice seemed to be nursing a grudge.Kian was confused. He sniffled and asked, "Call? When... When... did... I...""You..." The lady sounded exasperated. "Are you drunk?"Kian suddenly felt like he was a little boy about to be scolded. The urge to lie arose and he succumbed. "N...no... I'm... not... drunk... I... I...

"I must say Kian, you have really grown. I'm so proud of you," Augustus grinned as he patted Kian's back. "Back then, I used to fantasize with Doug on how we were going to treat you when you were born. I was looking forward to a particular moment. The time you would wet your bed and I would try to rescue you from your parents as a good godfather."Kian's jaws almost dropped at Augustus' words. Wesley on the other hand choked, trying to hold back his laughter."Cough! Cough!"He used to think the general was the most flawless person in the world but just thinking that the general might have also wet the bed when he was younger was hilarious."Ahem," Kian cleared his throat and stroked his nose, feeling embarrassed. "Uncle, what are you saying? I don't have any memories of wetting the bed or my pants.""Look at you," Augustus laughed. "How would you remember? You must have been so young then. Listen, Doug used to wet his pants when we were younger so I expect nothing less from you."Ki
0260: I Have Faith In You
"If that person indeed decides to mobilize supreme masters of martial arts, even if they are lacking in combat skills, they will still be formidable opponents." Augustus Vane’s expression turned grave as he spoke. "So we can't take any risks. At least until we find out the background of the other person, it's inadvisable to act rashly."Kian nodded, lowering his head in thought. He understood Augustus' concerns well. This was the exact reason he had come to the capital city—to uncover the truth behind what really transpired between his parents and the Blackwood family all those years ago.Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to conceal his identity, choosing instead to travel as Wesley’s chauffeur and bodyguard? If it were merely about revenge, wouldn't it have been simpler to reveal himself as the legendary King of War and annihilate everyone involved?Augustus exhaled, relieved to see Kian's agreement. "It's good that you’re willing to listen to me. But what do you plan to do
