Savannah had just finished her final class. Stretching her fingers and massaging her neck, she walked into her office. After grabbing her bag, she glanced out the window.

"Will I even find a taxi in this downpour?" she mumbled, reaching into her bag for her phone.

Instead of the phone, she pulled out a card and looked at it in confusion. It took a moment to remember that it was the bank card she had taken to the bank a few weeks ago.

She had been so busy she completely forgot about it. She was bugged with a question; 'Who owns this bank card?'

DING!

Her phone suddenly chimed, reminding her of her main purpose. She reached into the bag again and brought out her phone.

There were lots of messages displayed on the phone screen and when she went through them, her expression changed.

Each message was reminding her that she had borrowed a lot of money from people while trying to hire a good lawyer to secure her father's release.

Thinking of the last time that Noah had been

    Several hands reached out to grab Kian; the sharp tips of knives gleaming in the rain. Kian remained calm and a smile spread on his lips. "It's time to collect some long-overdue interest," Mumbling softly, he closed the umbrella and thrusted it backwards. SQUASH! The tip of the gray umbrella in his hand pierced through the throat of the bodyguard closest to him and blood splattered all over. It was a bloody sight. This action caused the other bodyguards to be surprised. They didn't expect Kian to have such good defensive reflexes so they were momentarily stunned. Benedict's eyes shook slightly and he raised his umbrella. He wasn't surprised at Kian's defensive skill rather he was shocked that he actually dared to touch people from the Blackwood's family. But in the next second, his surprise disappeared, replaced by a dark glint. "Are you all useless?" He yelled at the guards. "Attack together!" SQUELCH! Before he finished speaking, Kian had already acted quickly and his

    The rain had stopped falling heavily and was only drizzling now. Benedict's face had turned white and he laid still on the ground. His eyes were wide open, lifeless but filled with horror and disbelief.Kian took a step back and let go of the umbrella which was now tainted with blood. He wouldn't have resolved to this violence if they didn't start first.So what if Blackwood's family is one of the top aristocratic families in Valoria Central? He could overlook how they treated him and all their wrongdoings but threatening the safety of his family was not acceptable. If it means he has to personally send them all to heaven, so be it! The murderous expression on Kian's face faded quickly, replaced by strange calmness. He lifted his head and looked at Kyle who was sitting on the wet ground in shock.He was still clutching his injured arm and trembling but his gaze was fixed on Benedict's corpse and his face was white. If the young ladies of the capital city, his admirers saw him in this

    "Who are you?" Kian asked slowly. Victor mistook his reaction for fear but Wesley knew this was a sign he was about to explode. Even his throat was beginning to feel tight. For his own safety, he gulped and stepped backwards, away from Kian. "Your name is Kian, right?" Victor stroked his chin. "You don't need to know who I am but I'll tell you now, I'm going to have some fun with your wife! Haha!" THUMP! Wesley held his breath and cursed inwardly. Who was this fool? Was he trying to get himself killed? "See..." Victor flipped the camera again to display Savannah. His fingers darted to her blouse and he forcefully popped the upper button, displaying her flawless skin. "I was going to fuck her and record it for you but what's the fun in that? How about I give you a livestream instead?" Kian's face reddened with anger and his fingers closed around the phone. An oppressive aura of fury descended and Wesley tugged at his shirt's collar. Why was it getting so difficult to breathe

    "Understood sir," Wesley nodded, responding promptly. He opened his mouth to speak again when Victor coughed loudly with blood trickling out of his mouth.Although his internal organs were twisting uncomfortably and he was in excruciating pain, he managed to lift his head and yell weakly, "You... Who do you think you are? If you dare touch this property, the Sinclair's family won't let you go!"His words attracted Wesley and Kian's attention. The latter's face particularly turned dark. Sinclair's family?Victor saw his expression and misunderstood it for fear again. He became confident and continued, ''You heard me right! The Sinclair's family. They are the second biggest shareholder of this school. They won't spare you."Kian's eyes blazed in fury and Wesley shook his head at Victor pitifully. The latter thought he was saving himself but he had only dug a grave for himself.CRACK!"Argh!" As expected, Victor's painful shrieks flooded the room as Kian took a step forward and stomped

    Kian placed a pillow behind Savannah and helped her sit comfortably. When he pulled away, she looked up at him and touched her head. "Your head hurts?"She nodded without attempting to speak. She subconsciously checked her body and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Besides feeling a bit lightheaded, it didn't appear like that bastard, Victor got his way with her. What happened after she passed out? "You... Did you—""Don't speak yet. You'll hurt your throat. Here, drink this," Kian interrupted her and lifted a glass of warm water to her lips. She emptied the cup obediently and sat back. "You can take some painkillers after you eat. Mother should have finished preparing lunch. I'll go and have a look.""Wait," She held him back and squinted at him. What does he mean by lunch? What time is it now? How long has she been unconscious?Before she could voice out her questions, the phone on the bedside drawer rang. It was her phone and the call was from a colleague at work.She let go of

    "Mom," Savannah frowned and tried to speak but Ida's attention was solely on Kian. The latter smiled and nodded.Ida looked at the keys again and couldn't conceal her surprise. A house in Maplewood? A car? It felt like a dream. She could only imagine the looks on people's faces when they find out.Suddenly, the voices of Wilson's family mocking them the other day came to her mind and she snapped out of her surprise."You are not playing tricks on us again, are you?" She squinted at Kian suspiciously. "Are these keys authentic?""Mom!" Savannah was speechless. "Nevermind, I'll find out for myself," Ida brought out her phone. "I'll call the sales office of Maplewood to confirm.""Mom, will you stop all these? Why are you—" Savannah tried to stop her but she had already begun to dial the number. Savannah looked at Kian worriedly and he shook his head at her, gesturing for her to remain calm. There was nothing to fear and it was best to let Ida satisfy her curiosity.After a few words o

    Important members of the Wilson's family including Grandfather Wilson, Edward and Douglas were gathered, having a meeting. There was a stack of documents in front of grandfather Wilson. No one was speaking but their facial expressions were extremely ugly. Grandfather Wilson particularly looked furious as he picked up a document and— SLAP! He slammed it hard on the table. Looking at Edward fiercely, he pointed at the document and asked, "Edward, is this the report you could provide?!" All the documents stacked up were containing information of the companies their family owned and managed. They had about seven companies in total and all appeared to have been dwindling in debts and losses for the past few months. Even their most profitable business, Radiance Gallery, had incurred some losses due to mismanagement. If they hadn't borrowed a huge loan from the bank, every one of these companies would have had to close down! Now, taking a loan wasn't a problem. Repaying it was

    "Hey, don't look at me like I'm the enemy here," The young man waved dismissively and shrugged nonchalantly. "Obtaining your background information was a piece of cake." The man looked at grandfather Wilson and told him in a mocking tone, "At a time like this, instead of thinking of ways to save yourselves, you actually pinned your hopes on those people. Are you that hopeless or just stupid?" "Hey! How dare you?!" Edward and some other family members yelled. They won't stand and watch their father get insulted by a youngster like this. Only Douglas remained calm and watched silently. He was actually secretly pleased that someone had managed to voice out the words he had been dying to say for years. But he was also curious about the identity of the stranger. "Stop," Grandfather Wilson cautioned the younger family members who were prepared to charge towards the young man. Then he turned to the man and asked, "You said you are our family's savior? What do you mean?" The man didn't

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...

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

"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.

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

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.

    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

    "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
