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

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 Legendary King Of War Returns 0093: So-Called Legendary Artist
Suddenly slammed with those abusive words, Zane's face turned extremely ugly and he was quiet for a minute. But he had a thick skin because he quickly regained his composure and pointed at Kian. "Who are you referring to? Are you talking to me?" He was obviously stunned senseless. With his high prestige in Valoria Prime, a low-life like Kian dared to confront him. Even Savannah still had to lower herself before him. Who the heck is this riffraff?! "Get lost!" Kian didn't want to waste time with such a despicable person whose brain was obviously faulty as he doesn't think before speaking. Zane's outstretched finger clenched and he trembled angrily. He threw a cold gaze at Savannah and snickered, "If you don't want to work with me, just say! Why invite me here to be subjected to this kind of insult? Is this the kind of attitude your employees have? When I step out of this place today, I'll make sure no artist collaborates with your gallery!" Savannah panicked and shook her hea

His words made everyone's eyes light up. True to his words, that haughty man must have been well prepared. If one family tries to take him down rashly, they might incur a heavy loss.But if three top families unite to take him down, then there is confidence that they will succeed. The Faye's family patriarch pondered on this and thought it was reasonable.After a moment, he nodded and looked up at his second son. "Fine, let's do it your way this time. Don't let me down."The young man nodded with a smile, "You can count on me. You are so wise."His obvious flattery pleased the patriarch so much that he looked at the disabled on bed and thought, 'Why have I never noticed how capable this second son is?'What an irony! Up until that moment, he has always ignored this second son of his. He channelled all his attention and affection to his favorite son, Franklin.But now that Franklin was disabled and bedridden, he finally noticed his second son who has always been there all along. How hy

"How preposterous!" The Faye's family Patriarch kicked the person closest to him in fury. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the elderly doctor that just got up."Argh!" The poor doctor let out a scream of agony as he lost his balance and his head against the wall. Blood oozed out of his broken nose."How dare that bastard?! Who does he think he is to say such preposterous words?!" The patriarch roared like a provoked beast. He was shaking all over with fury.The atmosphere in the room dropped by several degrees. All the members of the Faye's family cowered and trembled fearfully.Like it was revealed earlier, the Faye's family is one of the top families in the capital city, Cascadia. They were just some ranks below the aristocratic families.Even at that, they held supreme authority and had an extraordinary status in the capital. When civilians encounter any of the Faye's family, they would bow in reverence and greet them respectfully. This was just how powerful they were.But now, n
0293: Can He Be Saved?
An hour had already passed and time was still running out. Under ordinary circumstances, it would be impossible to evacuate from such a huge five star hotel and restore things to their original state but when faced with a death ultimatum, the human brain has no limits.About an hour and half later, the entire hotel was completely empty. Everything that used to belong to Charlotte and the Lane's family had been taken out of the hotel. The five-star hotel was returned to its original state. The state it was in when Garrett was still in change. Kian and Wesley watched over the entire process. The staff didn't know who they were or why they had to follow their orders but after getting a wind of what had happened in the banquet hall earlier, they didn't dare question the new authority.[BREAKING NEWS...]Likewise the guests who had dispersed immediately spread the news. Soon the hot topic in the Blackwoods district was Charlotte's birthday celebration. Within a few hours, news reached t
0292: Just Take It Back
Sophia couldn't hide her fury this time. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and glared at Wesley red-faced. But before she could lash out at him, Alvin stepped in between them."Mister, I apologize if you misunderstood my mistress' intentions. We do not have any intention to resell the necklace if that is what you are afraid of. This necklace is really precious to my Mistress and we'll pay any fair amount as long as you let us have it."Wesley stroked his chin. He looked at Sophia who was trying to inhale and exhale in a bid to calm herself. Feisty...He suddenly had an urge to tease her so he did just that. "I'm pretty curious. Does this mean your Mistress will be willing to pay twice of what we paid just to have the necklace?"Alvin lost all respect for Wesley and he snapped, "That's outrageous! How—""Yes," Sophia intercepted the discussion and came forward. "You want me to pay eight hundred million dollars right? I'll do it right away as long as you don't back out on your w

"Ah!""Ah!""Ah!"With each slice of the knife, Charlotte shrieked in pain. Her agonized screams and the gruesome sight of her bloodied wrist sent chills down everyone's spine.CREAK!CREAK!Finally, the knife had hit the wrist bone. The sound was low but sharp. At this moment, Charlotte no longer had the strength to scream. She had completely lost all sense of pain and was just mindlessly slicing away at her wrist with the knife.A formerly beautiful diva like her using a table knife to saw through her own wrist. It was really horrendous. Many of the guests could no longer bear to watch. Some of the guests who were faint hearted had already turned their heads to the side and were beginning to retch! The hall which was beautifully decorated earlier had now turned to a bloody and disgusting mess.THUD!Finally, after what felt like eternity, Charlotte Lane finally managed to sever the remaining bit of her flesh and her bloodied palm fell off to the ground with a thud.Then she directl
0290: Saving Grace
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.

But to their disappointment, the bloody scene they were waiting for didn't unfold. Instead he crouched and stretche
