"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 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

"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 customers began to point accusing fingers at Kian and also started murmuring. Nicholas' face darkened and his cold gaze rested on Margaret.He didn't know who this employee was as she was just a small employee who wouldn't have been privileged to even meet him if it wasn't because he had to rush over after receiving Wesley's call.He wanted to personally welcome Kian and appreciate him but he didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as he arrived. No wonder Margaret was still unknown, someone like her was bound to die from ignorance!CLAP!A loud sound resounded in the showroom as Nicholas slapped Margaret. Her face immediately swelled up like that of a pig and she stumbled, falling to the ground.The sales attendants were shocked and no one dared to speak.

This was the second time someone was calling her stupid today, not to

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
