The Legendary King Of War Returns 0083: Most Welcome To Leave
Savannah and Kian looked in the direction of the door as the remaining gallery's staff scuffled in slowly. The receptionist was in the front, followed by some other unfamiliar people.Oscar Gray reclined in his chair and watched as the staff looked at Savannah; their expressions were unreadable but there was an obvious sense of hostility as they quickly looked away.They didn't make any attempt to sit down and lingered by the door, making Savannah feel awkward. But she forced a smile and greeted them first."Hello, please have your seats."Instead of responding to her greeting or even courteously welcoming her, they remained silent.Savannah was taken aback by their cold attitude and couldn't help wondering if something was wrong. She watched them exchange glances and whisper under their breath before they finally began to sit. The tension in the room only got heavier with every slow scrape of a chair being pulled back.Kian arched a brow at this but remained silent, just observing f
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0084: Exciting News
"Hey! Who are you? How dare you talk so insensitively?" One of the staff yelled at Kian. The latter didn't seem to take offense to his words and simply sat up casually."I'm actually curious... Where exactly are you getting all this information seeing as you are all pretty quick to judge?"The smug expressions on the faces of the gallery's staff faltered and they hesitated to speak. Kian didn't miss the way they exchanged a look as if unsure of how to respond.Oscar watched quietly, a dark expression forming on his face slowly as the staff were unable to refute Kian's words. His eyes locked with one of the staff and he gave the man a cold glaring signal.The man quickly stepped up and stuttered, "It’s just... Everyone’s been talking. We’ve heard things.""Things? Or rumors?"Silence settled in the room as the staff shifted uncomfortably in their seats. Oscar's smirk was now barely noticeable as he gritted his teeth.Kian tapped his fingers on the table loudly, making some of the staff
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0085: A Counterfeit!
Kian arched his brow. Exciting news? He had just started to type a response when another message popped up.[There's a price on your head]His fingers froze on the screen and he cursed under his breath. How was this exciting?[General, I’ve received word that the Sinclairs and the Grays have colluded and placed a bounty on your head. Anyone who captures you alive and delivers you to them will be rewarded with a staggering sum of seventy billion dollars]Kian's gaze hardened, and his face turned icy as a cruel smirk twisted his lips. How exciting!Those senile, old bastards. They were even daring to use money they had stolen from his own family to try and assassinate him.They will get what is coming for them! If he didn't pile the city's cemetery with their corpses, then he was a bastard![Keep an eye on them]Wesley on the other side was puzzled when he read this message. What does the general mean by this? Are there no instructions on how to deal with those people?If the general ga
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0086: Have You Suddenly Gone Deaf?
When Savannah heard the receptionist's words, she trembled and her face turned pale. The receptionist wasn't particularly quiet so some of the guests heard her also. The word quickly spread around and glaring gazes were directed in Savannah's expression. "What a great gallery you have found for me this time! You even dared to deceive other people!" The old man on the stage sneered, aggravating the situation. At this point, someone switched on the cam and everyone could hear and see what was going on in the lobby on the big screen. Savannah gasped slightly when she saw the angry crowd. They were not fifty! They were hundreds! "Why don't you let us in and give us our refunds?!" "Selling fake oil paintings as original at a more expensive price than the original. Aren't you people scared of having your bladders rotten from guilt?!" "I bought so many paintings the last time thinking I struck gold but they turned out to be fake. Pay up!" "Radiance Gallery, you owe so much mo
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0087: We'll Sue You To Court!
The debts left by the Wilson's family for Savannah to pay amounted to billions of dollars. At that moment, she was as cold as ice, realizing she would never be able to repay such an amount in a lifetime. Oscar who was being helped off the floor concealed his smile as he looked at the people yelling and demanding for refunds. This was the third condition he had given the Wilson's family. Every valuable piece in the gallery was to be swapped for a fake and sold at a cheap price that would attract a large crowd. Naturally, these people wouldn't want to admit that they bought forged paintings at a befitting price. They were greedy and wanted to make their own gain, thus demanding to be refunded the original amount the real painting is worth. There was no evidence to prove they purchased the paintings at a lower price anyway as every financial record has been doctored leaving behind only a trail of astronomical bills. As Oscar was commending himself secretly, Savannah suddenly
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0088: I'll Call You Dad!
Stunned silence settled over the hall as the crowds looked at each other in surprise. Did they hear him right? He wants to buy out all their companies? Haha! Every one of them present there were collectors for different distinguished art firms. These firms collaborated with prominent galleries and museums, not only in Valoria country but around the world. Now this nobody... A mere spokesman was talking so arrogantly, blatantly declaring that he was going to buy out their firms like it was a piece of cake. How ridiculous! "Bwahaha!" Laughter erupted in the hall as the crowd held their stomachs and looked at Kian like they were staring at a fool. To them, he was indeed foolish! "What did you say? You are going to acquire all our firms? How much do you get paid for being that man's spokesman?" Someone from the crowd snickered at Kian. "Wait... Is it because of the peanuts you are paid from that job that causes you to run off your mouth like this?" "If wishes were horses, ev
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0089: An Empty Shell
No one dared to refute Kian's words or dared to stay any longer. With their hearts in their throats, they tore the receipts and fled, their tails between their legs. In the twinkling of an eye, the hall was silent, only a trail of shredded papers was visible. Kian turned around to see Savannah and others looking at him in a daze. He rubbed his nose helplessly and almost facepalmed. Now he has to make up an explanation for his actions. Why didn't he think of this before acting so recklessly in front of them? "You... What just... How did you do that?" Savannah could barely construct a complete sentence. Still rubbing his nose, Kian explained without batting an eye, "Remember, my boss is an investor. He tasked me with finding more companies for him to invest into. So I simply recommended those firms to him." "Oh." It made sense. Only someone like that mysterious tycoon would act so recklessly and buy out those firms without any investigation. He was wealthy so he could aff
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0090: Turn Valoria Prime To A Cemetery
However, Oscar quickly composed his expression and forced a smile, "Are you referring to the legendary artist, Zane Moreau?"Zane Moreau was a famous artist whose vibrant paintings have been showcased in prestigious galleries in Valoria country, even extending globally currently.His paintings had won several awards in international art contests and some of his artworks were proclaimed widely to have been sold for several millions.Although he was a hot topic in the art industry, Kian doesn't consider artists like him who only rose to fame in the past few years as legendary.He couldn't be compared to Jasper Caldwell whose artworks have been showcased in prominent museums in the world or Isla Monroe who has been holding a high record in the art industry for years.If Zane Moreau met these people, he still had to bow before them and call them masters. But Kian didn't voice out his thoughts and simply listened to their conversation."Yes, he is the one I am talking about," Savannah smil

0319: Their Beloved Hero
Grimm and the other two elders who opposed the proposal had displeased and grim expressions on their faces. But Silas Nightingale paid them no attention. In his own opinion, the ten elders that chose to support his proposal and stand on his side were enough to completely defeat this masked man."Attack with no mercy!" Silas' eyes turned icy as he shouted fiercely. His words were a clear command to the other elders.Kill with no mercy!BOOM!Silas emanated a powerful murderous aura that was enough to make people tremble as he stormed towards Kian. He moved at such a lightning speed people could barely see his feet. Just then, something unexpected happened. Grimm had unsheathed his long sword and rushed down to the ring. The two other elders had also followed him down."Two of you, attack!" Grimm commanded in a low tone, brandishing his sword in the air.SWISH!The long blade surged forward and slashed at the throat of the nearest elder. The sound of slicing and piercing through fles
0318: The Votes Result
Ambrose Darkmore thought long and hard before speaking. Eventually, he raised his grim face and said, "I agree with Silas' proposal."As soon as he spoke, a member of the Divine Sword sect immediately countered his decision, "Master, this is not right. It is inappropriate to—"Ambrose Darkmore's face darkened, and he snapped back in an icy tone without even allowing the man to complete his words, "Shut up! You have no right to question my decision!"The man's face turned red and shrunk back into his seat. He dared not speak anymore. Just then, another elder raised his hand. "I agree with Silas' proposal. It is time to elect a new leader for the alliance."Another elder with a huge scar nodded and raised his head. The scar on his face widened as he looked down at the ring. "Kieran is powerful. His injuries are certainly not that serious. They shouldn't affect him much.""Silas, I agree.""I also agree.""..."Each of the elders spoke one after the other, and soon, the voting results w
0317: Underhanded Tactics
"Silas, why go to such lengths?" Roland Harrington suddenly stepped forward with a dark face. "The alliance does need a new leader but why the sudden rush?"His words filled the hearts of many of Kian's new supporters with joy. They didn't expect that someone from the aristocratic Harrington's family would suddenly speak up for Kian.Not just someone. The patriarch of the family himself. At least, the aristocratic family also saw the injustice unfolding. Meanwhile, in the tent allocated to the members of the Sacred Shadow sect, Wesley had a strange expression on his face as he looked straight ahead at the middle-aged man who had just spoken up.It was strange indeed. The aristocratic Harrington's family was actually pleading for the general?!If the old man from the aristocratic Harrington's family knew that the person he was trying to plead for and win over was Kian Blackwood, the same person most if not all the aristocratic families wanted to eliminate...Would he stand there tall
0316: Eager To Meet Their Ancestors
Slowly and gradually, voices rose in the square. Kian's previous performance had been so stunning. He had quickly captivated the hearts of many spectators. Now, there were a lot of people willing to support him and speak up for him. Even many disciples of the Heavenly Flame sect who were sitting behind Silas Nightingale had grim expressions, but no one spoke up.In the martial arts community, only strength is truly revered. Kian had already earned their respect through his actions. So, they were inadvertently dissatisfied with their leader's behavior. They looked at each other and began to whisper among themselves.Even if the elders see Kian as a threat and want to eliminate him, couldn't they have waited till Kian recovered, and then they could face him openly. "Silas, does it not seem a bit inappropriate to do this now?" Augustus Vane's facial expression had darkened as he questioned angrily. Even the members of the Sacred Shadow sect had all begun to glare at Silas. It wasn't
0315: If The Former Leader Was Alive...
While it may seem like the top aristocratic families of the Cascadia were equally powerful and reigning, only people at core positions like the patriarchs of the families including Roland knew the truth. The aristocratic Blackwood's family was not just the number one aristocratic family in Cascadia for nothing. They had long surpassed the other aristocratic families by a huge margin. Which was why even if some aristocratic families were offended with them regarding the attitude of that bastard from the Blackwood's family, they couldn't do anything much to harm the family. The patriarchs of all the aristocratic families also knew that it was only possible for the Blackwood's to be in this state because of the support of that mysterious force behind them. Roland Harrington had tried every means to extract information about those forces from the Blackwood's family. But that cunning old man, Mortimer Blackwood kept his mouth tightly short, refusing to reveal information about them
0314: The Real Top Tier Forces
Everyone could see Kian laughing carelessly and wiping the blood that was trickling down his mouth, but no one knew he was actually cursing inwardly. "Damn! If I knew acting was so exhausting, I would have asked Vivienne to give me some acting lessons," he mumbled to himself. With his physical strength alone, he could easily defeat Calvin and the other second tier leaders. Not only them, even if the elders of the council, including Silas Nightingale, Ambrose, and Grimm, decide to attack him simultaneously, he could still defeat them! After all, his martial arts level was that of a martial war god. A martial artist at the peak level of the war god was different from other levels and beyond human comprehension. But if this were to be revealed to the public, it would certainly cause uproar. Actually, Kian doesn't care if his identity is revealed to the elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance Council or the aristocratic families of Cascadia. What he truly cares about is find
0313: Master Is The Strongest
The entire square was in utter silence. The whole elders council and the spectators were stunned speechless. At that moment, Silas Nightingale and other elders at the elders' council gathering felt more apprehensive towards Kian. A sense of fear slowly crept into their hearts. An overwhelming sense of fear. Martial arts training was just like studying. Its practitioners have their own advantages, disadvantages, specialities, strengths, and weaknesses. Some martial artists were excellent at attacking with fierce ferocity and strength, but their defenses always tend to be weak. Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and Grimm all belonged to that set of martial artists. On the other hand, some martial arts masters like several others in the elders' council were superb at defense, but their attacking abilities weren't so good. It was important to note that among the second tier leaders that Kian just killed, one of them was a sect leader who was revered for his defensive specialt
0312: Not Just A Prodigy!
THUD! THUD! THUD! The lifeless bodies of the first three second tier leaders that were used as sacrificial lambs were sent flying in different directions. The bodies hit the ground, and blood quickly pooled beneath them. At the same time, the remaining second tier leaders attacked. Punches, palm strikes, swords, and even a staff; all weapons channeled with powerful forces descended down on Kian. "So what if you are a martial arts prodigy?" Calvin laughed as he attacked. "Today, I'll bring you down on your knees and turn the tables—" Before he could even complete the word 'tables', the smile on his face froze. A horrifying realization dawned on him. Shouldn't Kian be bleeding from all the weapons and pleading for mercy now? How could the masked bastard still be looking at him tauntingly?! "Tsk! You foolish old man! You think you know it all," Kian clicked his tongue and spoke loud enough for only the second tier leaders to hear him. Calvin's eyes dilated at his words. His compan
0311: As Good As Dead!
The remaining second tier leaders didn't hesitate to charge forward. They unleashed their full strength as they stormed towards Kian. The ring was big and wide but for these furious martial arts masters, closing the distance between them and Kian was easy. They moved swiftly, reaching him in a blink of an eye. SWOOSH! The sharp slice sounds in the air echoed as they threw their strongest punch, others kicks and some their weapons. At that moment, Calvin's eyes shone with a fierce glint. Just as he was reaching Kian, he slowed down his punch, twisted his body, extended a leg and delivered a powerful kick. BANG! BANG! BANG! The loud thud sounds resounded three times as the three closest second tier leaders to Kian including the female leader who had protested earlier were caught off guard and struck hard in the back! "Argh!" "Ah!" "Ugh!" They groaned consecutively and stumbled forward, directly into the path of Kian's spear! "Calvin, you old bastard!" "What are you doing
