The Legendary King Of War Returns 0107: The Worm On His Hook
"Other people value wealth but that tycoon is different," Kian gave them a reassuring smile. "What he cares about the most is his reputation and connections. If he invests the required quantity of Celestium in your gallery and the exhibition is a great success, his reputation will also skyrocket." Savannah's eyes sparkled with excitement and she rushed forward with an expression that showed that she was having a hard time controlling her emotions. "Can you really convince him to make the investment? Will he agree?" Kian stroked his chin and pretended to think about it for a minute before nodding, "I can give it a try. If he decides to invest or not is up to him." "There is still hope," Savannah's happiness was undeterred. If Kian could really convince that billionaire tycoon to invest Celestium in her gallery, then more paintings like Timeless Beauty could be produced. When that happens, it will take the art industry by storm and her gallery is bound to climb heights. Mast
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0108: Blessing In Disguise
"Huh?" Wesley was confused. He has followed Kian for years but till date, some words the general say are like riddles. "Do you want to go fishing?" Kian wasn't offended by his slow-witted words and nodded, "Yes. I'll go human fishing." Wesley's eyes finally widened in understanding. If the general says human fishing, this means there was going to be blood. "Before, I was going to deal with the Blackwood's family in Cascadia after handling the pests in this city, but now, it seems I'll have to alter my plan. This time, I'll go after the main Sinclair's family first... What do you think?" Kian's smile widened with a hint of eeriness. Since the Gray's family planted Oscar in the gallery to keep tabs on him, those two old geezers must not have given up and still wanted to fight to the end. But he had already cut off all their means of help in Valoria Prime. So naturally, their only source of help would be to turn to Sinclair's family in Cascadia. "General, I understand what yo

The hall was silent. Mauro breathed in deeply before lifting up his face. He swept a gaze around the trembling men in the hall and stood. Raising two fingers, he told them, "You have just two days to find out who that man is... Just two days." Some of the men already began to nod when he suddenly added, "If none of you can provide substantial information, don't bother to show up in front of me again. Just go and jump off the bridge!" The heavily built men in the hall cowered at his words. They understood the underlying meaning of his statement. In order words, he was asking them to commit suicide which was a better choice than dying in his hands. Without needing a soothsayer, they all turned around and quickly scampered away. Their time was counting down. Mauro sighed and rubbed his aching temple. "I have no idea why I pay those fools so much and yet they can't do something so simple. How hard is it to find the identity of someone in my own city?" ___________ Thomas Sincl
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0110: Enough To Buy Top Families
The next day in front of Radiance Gallery was an astounding sight. Three heavy trucks headed into the storage facilities of the gallery. Kian, Savannah, Oscar and master Caldwell were watching them carefully. There was a look of astonishment on their faces, well except Kian. Savannah could hardly refrain from dropping her jaws. Just yesterday, Kian had assured her he was going to convince that billionaire tycoon and even get them supplies of Celestium pigments. Although she was slightly convinced by his confident words, inwardly she was a bit scared that he might just be bluffing. Not to mention, he even managed to convince that tycoon so quickly. But now as she watched these heavy trucks head to the storage facilities, she was momentarily dazed. BUZZ! The door of a storage room opened and the first truck drove in. Everyone watched in anticipation as the truck stopped and prepared to offload. They subconsciously held their breath as the truck driver shifted gears. The du

In a blink of an eye, some days had passed by quickly and it was almost half a month. Radiance Gallery was finally ready for the exhibition. It was the first public event the gallery would hold after the previous auction scandal.However, the gallery quickly ran into another trouble. Although they had already advertised the exhibition date, the number of the people that signed up was low.Savannah was currently staring at the register file the receptionist submitted to her. She rubbed her aching temple and sighed heavily."President," Oscar called out in a low tone. "If this continues, by the day of the exhibition, we may have more losses than the profits estimated."Savannah buried her face in her palms. She didn't need to be told twice. The exhibition was just two days away yet the number of the expected attendees isn't even up to fifty people. She could see the failure sign blaring in front of her. It seemed people were still wary of their gallery especially after the previous sca
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0112: We Struck Gold
Savannah couldn't sit still any longer and stood up abruptly. "Are you certain about what you are saying? Did you confirm it wasn't a prank call?" "President, I already carried out my investigation before calling you. Laurence Whitmore's official Tweeter page has announced it." Savannah no longer doubted the receptionist. She trembled with joy and instructed immediately, "Give them a positive answer immediately and make the necessary arrangements. This is a golden opportunity. Nothing must go wrong. We can't afford to mess up Laurence Whitmore's birthday banquet." "I understand, president. Nothing will go wrong," The receptionist assured and hung up the call. When Savannah dropped the telephone, she couldn't contain her joy. She walked around the table and told Oscar, "Mr Garcia, you don't need to worry about the exhibition anymore. It has been sorted out. Laurence Whitmore is going to hold his seventieth birthday right here in our gallery, during the exhibition." Oscar

Jasmine's face contorted, feeling very insulted. She used to be her grandfather's favorite grand-daughter. But after the incident with that scum Henry and her inability to manage the gallery, her grandfather has gradually grown distant from her."It's about Radiance Gallery. Didn't Oscar assure us that with his well proof plan, that gallery wouldn't last a week. Look at this," She slammed her phone on the desk angrily.Grandfather Wilson was incredibly displeased at her rude attitude but he still reached out and picked up the phone since he was the closest to it.He adjusted his glass frame and read the words displayed on it. His wrinkled eyes widened in disbelief. "What? How is this...""Father, let me see that," Edward frowned and collected the phone. Soon, his brows also furrowed after reading the news."Shouldn't the gallery have shut down by now? How could it be hosting Laurence Whitmore's seventieth birthday banquet?" Jasmine didn't bother to hide her hatred.This gallery shou

A hush fell upon the hall as the veil was pulled off, revealing a picturesque painting. The guests in the hall were completely entranced by the dazzling and serene painting that inexplicably filled them with calmness.They felt even if this painting was to enter a national contest, it would directly beat every other painting in the world and make history. They had never seen anything like it before."Is that really a painting? I want one too!""Master Caldwell announced his retirement some years ago. Who expected he would make a comeback with such an ethereal painting?""Did Master Caldwell really paint that in this gallery? It seems I have to purchase more paintings. I don't mind paying triple the price for something like that!"Murmurs filled the hall as the guests pointed excitedly at the painting. Laurence Whitmore also looked pleased with this gift. As a matter of fact, it was the best birthday gift one could have given him."Very good... I expected nothing less from a master li

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
