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 Legendary King Of War Returns 0054: He Meant... The Ultimate Boss
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. Even the customers who were gossiping loudly quietened."I have never met someone as stupid as you. Who hired you?" Margaret was dealt another heavy blow. This was the second time someone was calling her stupid today, not to
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0055: Don't Get Involved
"Give me that," Veronica snatched the phone from her son and read the bold words displayed on the phone screen, her eyes widening as she did this. Gasping slightly, she looked up, "Honey! It's true! Pinnacle Entertainment has indeed gone bankrupt."Douglas removed his reading glasses and remained silent. Julian ruffled his hair and spoke thoughtfully, "First, they didn't win the investment bid last night which was quite strange. And today, they have declared bankruptcy. Father, do you suspect foul play?"Douglas had the urge to shake his head at their curious gazes. Didn't they understand that all this is happening because someone from Pinnacle Entertainment must have offended a big shot at the investment bid last night?But who could the big shot be? There weren't many people in Valoria Prime city who could bring Langston down like this. And the only person that came to Douglas' mind was—Knock!Knock!The consecutive knocks on the door disrupted his thoughts. He looked up as his wif
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0056: What's The Big Occasion?
Even a raging storm couldn't be compared to the anger welling in Savannah's heart. These were people her father had dedicated his entire life to.Heck, she had even felt guilty all these years that she dragged the entire family into mud when her scandal broke out. These were the same people who ridiculed and mocked Kian the other day.Now their behaviors suddenly changed when they discovered he wasn't the useless son-in-law they thought he was. Their sudden familial affection was just a joke!A calm voice suddenly broke through her troubled thoughts. "We won't go if you don't want us to go."She looked up and the anger in her eyes faded when she saw Kian resting against the wall. She hadn't even heard him walk in. Why did he come after her?"How long have you been standing there?""Long enough to hear the invitation."Savannah sighed and suddenly felt ashamed of her grandfather's words. That old man was willing to bootlick his grandson in-law if it generated money."If you don't want

0309: One Man Down
"Attack!" Calvin's loud voice echoed across the square. At his command, several towering figures charged towards Kian simultaneously.The atmosphere was so tense and cold that even the online spectators watching trembled. Several martial arts masters of second tier sects in the alliance had joined their force to take down a young martial arts prodigy.The fifteen elders of the council excluding Augustus eagerly watched the face off. They really wanted to see if this masked man poses any threats to these masters who have far more experience than him. Being a prodigy in martial arts is one thing. Being able to use your talent carefully was another!SWISH!SWISH!SWISH!One could hear the deafening sounds of slices in the air as the martial arts masters moved in unison. Their action created an overwhelming sense of pressure. Everyone in the square trembled once again. But the target they were all rushing at remained in one spot. He didn't even move and there was not a single expressio
0308: No Matter The Cost...
His words 'Martial Arts Prodigy's weighed down on everyone heavily. Even ordinary civilians who have never practiced martial arts before in their entire life understood what this title means.He was a true master who was at the peak of martial arts and could even establish his own academy or alliance! In the history of martial arts, the only people able to achieve this level in the past were all respected elders of great virtue. But even the youngest and most talented one of those elders who achieved this level in history was in his mid thirties! Yet Ambrose Darkmore claims this masked man who looks like he is in his early and mid twenties was actually a martial arts prodigy?!It was simply astonishing and beyond comprehension!Apart from Ambrose Darkmore, the other elders including Silas Nightingale and Grimm were equally shocked. Their facial expressions turned stoic.Could they easily kill Peter and the other middle-aged man?Yes!But can they do it with a single strike like a ma
0307: A Fluke
It is important to note that Peter isn't just an ordinary leader of a second tier sect. Even among all the leaders of second tier sects, his combat strength was at least ranked among the top five!"No... It can't be!""Impossible!""This useless Peter must have let his guard down!""Yes, that's right. How could this have happened if he didn't?!"In the ring, the other leaders turned pale and staggered back in shock. Their faces were filled with disbelief. Their combat strength and abilities were on par with Peter's own. If this masked bastard could kill Peter with just one move, it means he could easily take them down as well but how is this possible?!Martial artists of the same martial arts level couldn't be killed so easily. Only a true martial arts prodigy could butcher them like chickens. But this masked man looked like he could be in his early or mid twenties. How could he possibly be a martial arts prodigy?As the spectators exchanged uncertain glances and murmured among them
0306: Horrifying!
"You little bastard! Come down here and die!" "Don't keep us waiting!""I won't let you go today!"The angry roars reverberated through the square once again. This time, Kian said nothing else. He simply collected a spear from Augustus Vane.Under the gaze of thousands spectators and several other online viewers as the site was already fixed, he held the spear upside down and descended down, heading into the ring!"Brother, what do you think of this man?"In the area originally designated for the Dark Legion sect which the members of the Harrington's family now occupy, Roland Harrington leaned in and asked an elderly man beside him as he watched Kian's tall figure."Arrogant, reckless and ignorant of his own limitations. In other words, incapable," The elderly man with hair full of white hair beside Roland snorted in an indifferent tone."What do you think the outcome of this battle will be then? How long will it last?" Roland Harrington reached forward to pluck a grape from the tray
0305: Is It Okay If Someone Dies...?
"Augustus, since you will rather save your face than that of your sect, I will gladly help you to care for that haughty punk beside—" The leader of the Iron Fist sect was growling arrogantly when Kian suddenly interrupted him."I have a question."He turned to Silas Nightingale and the other elders of the council when he said this, paying little or no attention to the man in the ring who in his own opinion was simply barking like a scared dog!"Go ahead," Silas Nightingale scowled at him coldly. "Let's have it."Kian's smirk disappeared and a serious expression masked his face. He looked almost innocent as he asked, "Is it okay if someone dies in this sect master battle?"PSST!A chorus of gasps filled the air as a wave of shock rippled through the spectators. This brat really has some nerves asking such a question!Silas Nightingale's face turned as dark as the bottom of a charcoal pot. His fingers itched by his side to slap Kian into silence! But after taking a deep breath and stru
0304: Absurd And Unacceptable!
In the ring, the facial expression of the leader of the Iron Fist sect darkened instantly. Not only him, several others too."Who are you?" Silas Nightingale of the number one top sect, Heavenly Flame questioned coldly with a grim look.Kian tilted his head up at him and casually told him, "The new leader of the Sacred Shadow sect, Kieran.""Haha!" The leader of the Iron Fist sect in the ring laughed maniacally. "This useless, old bastard Augustus has already given up and accepted defeat. You are just a—""When did I ever say I was giving up or admitting defeat?" Augustus' calm voice interrupted him before he could complete his words.A hush fell over the crowd as they processed Augustus' words. Then there was a collective gasp as realization dawned on them. Augustus had truly never said such a thing!He never accepted defeat or gave up. They simply assumed based on his cowardly action and he actually let them misunderstand... This man!"This battle is the second stage of the sect's c
0303: Seal All Exits!
To the elders of the alliance council, the duty of a martial artist is to defend the honor of their sect, no matter the circumstances. Even if the martial artist was severely injured... Even if he could barely move... Even if he had lost his strength to fight. Even if he was on death bed!As long as there was still life in them, they should fight to protect the honor of their sect with their very last breath! And a sect leader? He should be even more resolute!However, Augustus' cowardly attitude before the battle has severely contradicted their principles. To call him a disgrace to the martial community was even an exaggeration. He is condemnation to mankind! Among all the spectators present today, apart from the sects, there were at least tens of thousands of ordinary civilians. Not to mention the countless cameras and drones that were rolling and circulating, broadcasting the sect contest live!This contest must be watched by several hundreds or even thousands of viewers now. Yet
0302: A Waste Of Existence
These opportunities were unimaginable. They have to give this contest their best. While they were thinking about the wealth ahead, the members of the aristocratic Harrington's family took their seats.They occupied the empty area that was initially designated for the Dark Legion sect. No one even cared about the absence of that sect. Just then, the result of the lot drawn between Calvin and the other qualified leaders of the second tier sects was announced.Unexpectedly, the first leader to challenge Augustus Vane was the leader of a second tier sect known as the Iron Fist sect. He was already at the peak level of a martial grandmaster. The sect master battle officially began since the lots were drawn."Let the contending sect master step into the arena," Silas Nightingale who was the host of the contest announced in his booming voice. The leader of the Iron Fist sect stomped his feet on the ground and within a few minutes, he was already in the arena which was the center of the squ
