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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0091: My Time Is Precious
Thomas Sinclair and Jonathan Gray exchanged a look. They didn't expect that little bastard would have also offended Maddox. Very good! This time, he won't be able to escape. "Maddox, we won't pry into private affairs but you should know he has some connections with Colonel Marcus who is a great commander in the Central Valoria region," Jonathan Gray explained somberly. "Yes," Thomas Sinclair nodded in affirmation. "He is also a spokesman of the billionaire tycoon that caused a wave in our city sometime ago. Besides, he is not so ordinary himself. He has some skills." Maddox stopped twirling the knife around suddenly, making the other Sinclair's family scared. They gasped as he looked up and smiled eerily. "Are you two trying to give me a warning?" Jonathan and Thomas exchanged a look again. This man was quirky and a bit scary. But they forced a smile on their faces to hide their feelings. "We are just trying to inform you that the brat might be a bit difficult to deal wit
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0092: Noise Pollution
That was exactly why Savannah thought of him first when she needed help. Why was he acting so obnoxiously then? Seeing his attitude, Savannah was disappointed. But because she was the desperate one here and the one in need of help, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile. "Master Zane, I'm still grateful that you honored my invitation indicating that you are willing to work with me." Zane remained unmoved by her sentimental words and blatantly asked her, "How much are you willing to pay?" Savannah was taken aback by his straightforwardness but she quickly regained her composure. "Our gallery has faced some setbacks and is currently in a difficult spot. We have to start from the scratch and really don't have a lot. But I hope you'll consider our previous relationship," she paused, watching his expression. Seeing the sneer on his face, she quickly explained, "Let's do this. Mr Zane, we will pay four million dollars for the artworks you are willing to let us feature in the

The hall got quieter than it already was. A chill ran through the crowd. Kian's strong killing intent made it almost impossible for people to breathe.Charlotte Lane and Franklin Faye were petrified. Their bodies shook like leaves. This masked stranger is powerful and ruthless. His actions are brutal. He also seems to have had a good relationship with Garrett before his demise.A dreadful thought crossed Charlotte and Franklin's mind simultaneously. They certainly won't be able to escape alive today!They were so horrified that despair tore away at their hearts slowly. Is this the end? Disregarding the watchful gazes of the terrified onlookers, Kian casually picked up a buffet knife from the nearby table.Charlotte was now powerless to resist. She could only sit helpless and watch blankly as the sharp knife glinted in the light. People held their breath as Kian halted. But to their disappointment, the bloody scene they were waiting for didn't unfold. Instead he crouched and stretche
0289: Blood For Blood
Despite the number of guards that had charged towards Kian earlier, they appeared to have reduced in numbers. Only a few guards remained standing unscathed.But at that moment, none of them wanted to make any more moves forward. Their knees were buckling, their legs were trembling and their faces were pale. The greed and desire that had clouded their minds some minutes ago vanished into thin air. They were replaced by a chilling sense of fear. Kian suddenly took a step towards them. They scrambled back, falling on each other as they tried to back away. They didn't dare to stop him any more.Three hundred thousand dollars might be insane and a once in a lifetime bonus but it wasn't at the expense of their lives. Their lives were still the utmost priority. Fine... It may take years to get such an amount but when there is life, there is hope. The guards immediately shrunk back, indicating that they surrendered. "Bunch of useless cowards! You..." Charlotte spat out angrily, her face p

Besides, even if this man is a skilled martial artist, he is outnumbered. There are so many of them. Can he possibly take down all of them? At least, he would struggle to defeat them. Thinking of this, the guards made a decision. One of the guards shouted, "Let's go! We'll take him down together!"Gritting their teeth, the large group of security guards charged towards Kian. It was such a fierce sight most of the guests backed away in fear.Sophia grew worried and nudged at the bodyguard beside her. "Don't just stand here. Help—""Miss, there are too many of them. We won't stand a chance against. I only brought a few guards because you requested," The body explained to her hesitantly. Seeing that she was about to flare up, he quickly added, "It doesn't look like he needs help. He can handle them on his own."Sophia frowned and didn't say anything more. If she even instructed the guards to help now, they might do more harm than assist. So she could only watch as the guards stormed t
0287: Stop Him!
The heavy silence in the hall was only broken occasionally by Franklin's grunts and howls of pain. But apart from this, no one even dared to do so much as squeak.At this moment, Kian was now surprisingly calm and more composed than his angry outburst earlier. But his calm demeanor only made everyone more frightened.Some guests began to curse inwardly, regretting that they ever considered attending Charlotte's birthday party. If they had known that such a brutal and terrifying scene like today was going to happen, they wouldn't have dared step foot in this hall!No one knew what he was thinking. Actually, Kian was pondering. From the moment he suspected that Charlotte Lane might have something or was related to Garrett's death, he already had an inkling of something like this.But now suspicion and confirmation were two different things. Now that he confirmed that his suspicions were right, he was disheartened. Kian's fingers clenched tightly and painfully when he finally comprehen
0286: Suicide... Or Not
The guests suddenly realized that Kian was looking in one direction. They were confused yet alarmed when he suddenly walked towards Franklin who was still sprawled on the ground.Only Franklin felt the shivers running down his spine. Fear etched his facial expression. He suddenly had a bad feeling and tried to move. But how could he do so when his arms were still pinned to the ground?!He could only lay helplessly and watch Kian cover up the distance between them. When Kian's towering figure loomed over him, he finally panicked.He lost all sense of rationality and yelled in a fearful tone, "You... What are you trying to—argh!"CRACK!Before he could complete his sentence, Kian had stomped his foot down hard. The sickening sound of bones breaking and a painful howl echoed in the hall.Franklin's five fingers on the left had been crushed to a bloody pulp. The excruciating pain made him feel like he was already in hell. Even the guests felt his pain and trembled at Kian's brutality. "T
0285: Not A Sign Of Insincerity
No matter what happens, Charlotte cannot reveal the truth of that incident. At least, not now. She has to stall for time and delay the truth until this masked man decides to leave out of frustration.Charlotte thought to herself, 'As long as I can stall for time, I'll call Tristan to help me.'It doesn't matter the true identities of these strangers and how influential they may be. They could never compare to the aristocratic Harrington's family!As for the guests present, Charlotte had no concern for them. She wasn't scared that after this event they would go out and tattletale to the public.She was now publicly known as Tristan's partner and the future daughter-in-law of the aristocratic Harrington's family. Even if these people borrowed guts and courage, they wouldn't dare to offend her or soil her reputation except Sophia of course.But in a moment like this, Charlotte doesn't have the chance or time to worry about Sophia.With these thoughts in mind, Charlotte inhaled deeply an
0284: Dead Meat!
Kian's body trembled all over. His tight hold on the necklace eased. His eyes contracted with disbelief. "What did you just say?"Charlotte looked terrified beyond wits. She didn't dare hesitate and immediately repeated a tone that was only above a whisper, "Garrett is dead."When she confirmed her words, Kian stood frozen to the spot. His mind went completely blank. His hand that was holding onto the necklace shook so violently Wesley had to retrieve the necklace from him.Numerous memories flooded Kian's mind. Memories of his childhood friend, Garrett. In their duo, Garrett was usually the most mischievous and reckless one.Back then, Kian was more reserved but he always managed to get into trouble because of Garrett. They had exchanged letters for almost a decade now. Garrett shared everything that happened in his life in those letters. Kian wanted to pour out his own experiences personally because words could never describe them. But that person is actually dead?!When Kian first
0283: Where's Garrett?
The nouveau riche thought to himself, 'I defended Charlotte and Franklin in front of everyone. If this masked man decides to come after me now, I won't survive!'Fearfully, he shrunk back into the crowd, trying to blend with the other guests. Tiffany was also beside herself with worry. She had been the one to provoke the crowd earlier and throw Kian's right into the limelight. If he decides to retaliate now, she definitely won't be spared! Just like the nouveau riche, she also tried to be invisible among the other guests. But Kian wasn't concerned about these people.There were more pressing matters at hand. After forcing Franklin to silence, he turned to Charlotte. "Have you received the money?"Charlotte, who was in a state of shock, could only nod. Kian didn't stop there. He smirked and asked, "With such a huge amount than you bargained for, are you satisfied?""Yes... Satisfied... Very... Satisfied..." Charlotte stuttered almost incoherently as she nodded again. "Good. Now it's
0282: It Might Be His Neck
At that moment, Charlotte began to doubt her decision. Did she misunderstand and jump into conclusion? Was that necklace some sort of priceless jewelry? "You... You bastard... How... How..." Franklin Faye has never been humiliated before so he was on the verge of losing his mind. Yet, he was unable to construct a complete sentence."The fly is so noisy. Get rid of him," Wesley swatted the air like he was trying to chase an annoying fly. "Yes sir," Kian clasped his hands together and nodded respectfully. He stood up straight and turned abruptly, swinging his fist.POW!Franklin was caught unaware by the hard punch. He staggered backwards and crashed into the table behind him.CRASH!Plate wares, wine glasses and wine bottles shattered under the hard impact of his terrible fall. The wooden table split into two directly. The guests gasped in shock. Their fingers flying up to their lips as their eyes widened. Sophia arched her brows and laid back to watch the show with a rare fascinati
