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.

    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

    When Savannah wandered off the group to get a drink, she instinctively looked over and was surprised to see Kian standing alone. The woman from earlier was nowhere to be seen. She frowned and headed towards him. He sensed her displeasure and was confused. "What's wrong? Did something happen again?" Didn't the advertisement go well just now? Why does she look a bit unhappy? Moreover, she was looking around him as if searching for someone. Although Kian was a great general who made decisive decisions on the battlefield, he seemed to be low on EQ and was completely oblivious to the reason she looked irked. Besides, the possibility of Savannah feeling a bit uneasy about Vivienne would never have crossed his mind. Seeing his expectant expression, Savannah regained her composure and felt she was overreacting. Should it matter if he and that unfamiliar woman were close with each other? "Nothing... It's just... You've been standing here alone for a while. Don't you need to come up

    "Father, why do you have to hit him to make your opinion known?!" Bridget was unhappy that grandfather Wilson seems to take pleasure in hitting her husband frequently nowadays. She signaled to a servant to get her the first aid kit. Grandfather Wilson snorted and turned his face away. "Would I have to smack him with the little energy I have if he wasn't so foolish? Why do I have to teach him every single thing?!" Edward gritted his teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved but before he could speak, grandfather Wilson continued, "The children are right. We have to take that gallery back or snatch it away if possible!" Penelope, Julian and Jasmine all nodded in satisfaction at their grandfather's words. Edward clenched his fists and ignored the blood streaming down his face as he retorted, "Do you all think we can easily take away the gallery from that girl after it has projected to fame? Will she agree to it? Besides, we signed a contract, giving away that gallery ourselves." "W

    The fake smiles on the faces of the Wilson's family froze as they stared at Savannah's cold, distant expression in disbelief. Had she really just called them beggars? Had she really just ordered the security guards to throw them out? Grandfather Wilson's ears twitched. Savannah had never acted so unruly toward him before. In fact, she had always endured the ill treatment he inflicted on her five years ago and had never once questioned his decisions. How could she speak to him so rudely now? No... It couldn’t be. He must be growing too old, surely he had heard wrong. THUD! THUD! THUD! Only after hearing the heavy footsteps of the security guards approaching did they come to their senses. Several security guards surrounded them, ready to make a move. The entire Wilson family trembled with humiliation and embarrassment, their faces twisting into expressions of discomfort and shame. "You unfilial grand-daughter!" Grandfather shouted furiously, tapping his walking stick on

    "You actually dare to be so rebellious! Can you bear cutting off ties with us?" Julian scoffed angrily. Why was this bitch acting so high and mighty because of a small fortune?"Hey! Let me go!'' Penelope screamed as a security guard grabbed her roughly, yanking her roughly. The rest of the Wilson family also faced the same treatment.Grandfather Wilson could no longer hold on and directly pulled his last trick. "You rascal! Even if you cut ties with me, your father will still recognize me! He is his father's son, he will listen to me!"His words made Savannah stop in her tracks. Her expression faltered and her body trembled. This reaction was because grandfather Wilson's words were right.Her father valued the Wilson's family more than anyone else. He cherished their family ties otherwise he wouldn't have willingly drop the charges against Edward and forgive him.She was the only one who knew how great his desire to return to the family was.

    In a family hall, people from the two top families Gray and Sinclair had gathered for a meeting. Some people assembled to give the reports from their investigations. "Greetings... My men have gathered news that the Timeless series paintings have garnered a lot of orders from many influential people all over Valoria country.""Yes... People from the capital Valoria region have begun to demand for it," another affirmed the previous information. "Yes... I also have news that word has gotten out of Valoria and orders have begun to flow in from overseas," Another stepped up. "Old master," the last man standing came forward with a veiled painting and a smug smile. "I spent a lot to acquire this painting from a third party."Thomas Sinclair and Jonathan Gray exchanged a happy look. The latter collected the veiled painting and tore off its veil. His eyes widened as he caressed its surface. It was indeed a beauty to behold."How much did it cost?" Thomas Sinclair also arched a brow in surpr

    Mortimer Blackwood was having lunch with two of his grandchildren. The ones he had called out from the meeting the other day. They were Christopher and Charlotte Blackwood, the children of Mortimer's fourth son whom he secretly had outside marriage years ago. The dining room was filled with silence as they ate peacefully. Christopher occasionally exchanged a look with his sister. His grandfather suddenly called them to dine with him which was surprising and suspicious. The old man hasn't been in a good mood since the last meeting the other day. They also haven't been able to contact Master Theo which made his mood worsen. But today, he suddenly asked them to eat with him. In the past, didn't the old man only dine with Keaton, the heir apparent and their second cousin, Kyle? But Keaton was terribly sick and could no longer accompany their grandfather. Kyle on the other hand had a fallout with the old man due to the previous incident.

    On a luxurious golf course in Cascadia, three old men walked together, talking and laughing heartily as they made their way to the starting point of their game. A young caddy followed closely behind, assisting them with their equipment."Alright old men," The tallest amongst them tipped his hat when they got to the first tee. "Let's see who still has a good swing in them.""Don't be so confident, old man Carrington. I've been practicing," The second old man chuckled as he selected a driver from his bag.He took a practice swing, the sound of the club slicing the air sharp and controlled. The young caddy handed him the ball, and he stepped up to the tee, positioning it with care.His friends watched as he pulled back for a full, powerful swing. The ball soared into the clear blue sky, sailing far down the fairway before landing smoothly, rolling for several more yards.With a smirk, he turned to his friends. "Beat that."Next up was the patriarch of Windsor. He was the eldest of the th

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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
