"Brother-in-law, please, you have to help me! I have no one else to turn to. Don't turn my family and me out during this trying period."In the Sinclair's family home, Langston was kowtowing in front of Thomas Sinclair. His wife, a similarly fat woman with undesirable facial features, was kneeling beside him.Langston looked nothing like his previously haughty self. He seemed to have lost weight overnight. Not to mention the rough stubble on his face and his modest appearance. For him to have lowered himself in front of his brother-in-law, the situation must be dire."Langston, you couldn't even handle a small family business. What do you want me to do?" Thomas frowned. Not many people know that Pinnacle Entertainment was a subsidiary company of the Sinclair's family business. It was given to Langston after he married Thomas' younger half-sister. "Brother-in-law," Langston reached forward to touch Thomas' feet. "I didn't do anything, I swear! The business was thriving well under my

"Mom—" "And you have to do as I have said tomorrow morning," Ida cut Savannah off. "I'm giving you two till tomorrow to get divorced and put an end to this sham—" "Mom!" Savannah shouted coldly, interrupting her mother's words. Her beautiful face had a dark expression as she spoke. "Just be quiet. He's my husband and that is never going to change. I won't divorce him so stop making so much noise. You'll frighten Noah." Ida was so furious she couldn't come up with words to say. When she did, she spurted, "You, fool! It's for your own good. Are you so blind you—" "Shut up!" Nathaniel finally intervened. "I don't want to hear another word from you." Ida stormed off angrily, grumbling as she left. She even slammed the door behind her loudly. Noah shook and burrowed into his mother's embrace. "Father—" "I'm tired. Please, take me to bed," Nathaniel didn't give Kian any face. It was clear he didn't want to speak to him. Savannah dropped Noah but still held him tightly as she wh
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0063: Memories Of The Past
The next morning, Kian took Noah to school because the little one kept clinging to him and refused to let him go, much to Savannah's displeasure. However, she didn't complain because it meant she could make it to the dance school earlier than usual. Kian never noticed he had garnered some female fans until he dropped Noah off. He was heading for the gate when a beautiful, young lady approached him."Hello. Good morning," She greeted politely. Kian looked down at her and then at the group of ladies standing some distance away. He nodded without speaking. Seeing his apathetic attitude, the lady smiled, "I'm Marie. I don't think I have seen you here. Is this your first time coming? Are you also dropping a nephew or niece like me?"Kian looked down at her outstretched hand and wide smile. He wasn't a fool to not notice she was hitting on him but he had somewhere important to go."I was dropping off my son and I don't think my wife will appreciate me entertaining conversations with stra
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0064: I'll Teach You A Lesson!
It was Margaret. She had come to cafe a while ago to seek a job. Although, there was a signboard at the door of the cafe, she was told that the cafe wasn't in need of more staff. This was the fourth place she would be given the same response. She was getting frustrated. At this rate, it was evident she was going to starve to death. But just as she was leaving, who knew she would see the one behind her problems? From the moment Kian stepped into the cafe, she had noticed him, unable to control the anger that welled up inside her. But then, a strange, beautiful woman approached him. Margaret swiped her fingers on her phone screen, looking through the pictures she had taken. There was one where Vivienne had hugged Kian. There was another where he was laughing heartily. There was also one where he was patting her hair with a smile. The pictures were taken at such great angles that it would be difficult for one not to mistake Kian and Vivienne as a couple. A sense of satisfactio
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0065: Shameless Pairs
Kian's expression hardened and his eyes dimmed with coldness as he reached out and countered Dorian's attack. Within a second, he caught Dorian's wrist and forced his palm on the table. SWISH! Dorian only heard the sound of the knife in the air before it settled in between his fingers. If Kian had miscalculated, the knife could have landed directly on his palm and perhaps even cut off a finger, rendering him useless. Dorian broke into cold sweat and trembled. He swallowed hard and his legs wobbled in fear. How could he feel so much pressure from this trash? No, it's unacceptable! Vivienne was still watching. How could he lose face so easily? No matter who this man is, Vivienne can only belong to him! Thinking of these, Dorian stopped trembling and summoned courage. Gritting his teeth, he snapped, "You bastard! Are you trying to disfigure me? Do you know who my uncle is? I won't let you off!" Kian's lips curled up and he moved his fingers. "It seems you are not frightened en
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0066: He Calls The Shots, Not You!
"Do you think you are one kind of big shot just because you are a famous director? Usually, people like you wouldn't even be able to breathe the same air I breathe!" A lop-sided smile tugged at Kian's lips. As expected of a general's daughter, Vivienne was showing off her sassy nature. Martin and his nephew were no match for her so Kian didn't feel any need to even meddle with these foolish pairs. Director Martin's face reddened with anger and veins bulge on his face. He felt so insulted he was trembling with anger. How could a lowly actress humiliate him in front of so many people? "Uncle, did you see that? This is the kind of habit Luminary Films artistes have! They won't show up on set early. Their acting skills are mediocre and they lack manners!" Dorian spat, aggravating the situation. "You..." Martin raised a trembling finger at Vivienne and swore, "If I don't show you just how big my ego is today, I'll retire from the movie industry!" Actresses and actors nearby who w
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0067: Bring His Head To Me
In Gray's family house:Alexander Gray sat on the bed, covered in cast. Some senior family members were standing around him. The atmosphere was extremely tense and no one spoke.Their family had encountered a series of misfortunes this month. First, Alexander was beaten up to a pulp on his own wedding day in front of so many guests. Then, Orlando was brutally murdered and their second son, Anthony Gray was rendered dumb. As if that wasn't enough, the one behind their misfortune also turned out to be the billionaire behind the investment bid they were eyeing. All of these were almost enough to drive the Gray's family crazy."Greetings, old master," A guard walked into the room and bowed to Jonathan Gray. "I have news."Jonathan raised his bloodshot eyes and gestured for him to speak. "As a result of the investigation, we discovered that Colonel Marcus commands several provinces in the Central Valoria region and leads over a million troops in the Valorian army."The expression on the
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0068: What If He Doesn't Comply?
Fifteen sleek Lamborghini Urus cars drove in a perfect line on the highway. They all had an identical emblem of a silver phoenix emblazoned on the hood, catching the light. This convoy turned heads with every mile, drawing curious stares from passing drivers who couldn't help but wonder what the big occasion was and who the fancy entourage was for. In the leading car, a young man sat at the backseat, draped in a richly embroidered cloak that had an eye-catching insignia: a stylized crest of a rising phoenix. His expression was calm but there was an undeniable air of authority about him. And as the convoy sped forward, he gazed out of the window, fully aware of the attention they were drawing, yet remained unbothered. "Uncle Benedict, what sort of man do you think my cousin has grown into?" A scorn appeared on the middle-aged man with a gray goatee behind the wheels. "A coward like his father." The young man stroked his chin at this response and raised another question. "Do

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
0212: A Lasting Impression
To the ears of the people from the provincial families, the countdown was like a clock ticking, reminding them each second passing was one step closer to death!Wesley also chose that moment to casually rub the sharp dagger making a rustling sound that chilled their hearts. 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
