The Legendary King Of War Returns 0119: Undermine Other Aristocratic Families
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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0120: Give Them A Grand Welcome
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. "Have you two heard about the Celestium min
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0121: Not Something To Easily Covet
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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0122: The Arrival Of The Imperial Families
It was late afternoon in Valoria Prime and the airport was usually busy at this hour. But surprisingly, it was quiet. Besides some airport staff moving around, there were no signs of passengers which was strange.However, if one looked further, one would be able to see the reason. Outside the airport, a hundred heavily armed soldiers were positioned in two straight-line formations, creating an imposing barrier.One could also see the armored cars parked nearby. The atmosphere was filled with a solemn tension. It seems like a very important person or rather people were visiting Valoria Prime today."Listen up!" a uniformed man barked, catching the attention of the other soldiers. "The heirs and representatives of the five greatest imperial families from Cascadia will arrive in eight minutes!"The soldiers exchanged a look while waiting for the next instruction which came very quickly, "We have received orders from above to ensure their safety! Block the airport entrance and exit until
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0123: Their Grand Welcome Ceremony
"Long time no see Zeke Sterling.""Oh! Young master Christopher and Miss Charlotte are here too...""..."Orion greeted them with a warm smile. Some people responded while others like the Blackwoods gave him a cold shoulder. "Aiyo!" Orion clutched his chest playfully. "Why are you acting so cold? Aren't we all here to discuss investing in Radiance Gallery? Who knows? We might be partners in the future. Let's be more amiable."Some people scoffed. What investment? Hypocrite! They all knew what their goal in Valoria Prime was and contrary to what Orion is saying, they will be competitors not partners so it was better not to get friendly with the enemy!Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly turned cold, Orion didn't continue speaking and kept quiet with a sly smile dancing on his lips.As the members of the Imperial families all descended and proceeded to leave, the commander suddenly glanced at Cody who was still standing still without making any attempt to welcome the imperial famil
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0124: The Sinclairs Really Lost Face
The armed uniformed men surrounded everyone. Their heavy guns were pointed at all their heads!CLICK!The soldiers acted quickly and also cocked their guns, aiming back and waiting for instructions to make a move. But they were completely outnumbered by the other uniformed men.The faces of all the imperial families changed and they looked horrified. At this moment, Cody's smile had completely disappeared and he no longer needed to put on an act."So what if you are an heir apparent of the central region aristocratic family?" He asked Thorne with an aloof facial expression. "This is Valoria Prime and I am the county magistrate. Here, my words are the rules!"THUD!Taking a step forward, Cody's eyes narrowed as he added, ''Even if you are the governor of the Valoria Central region, in this city, you'd better watch your behavior. Apologize now, or I'll personally see to it that they take you away!''"Magistrate Cody!" This time, Thorne's uncle, Vaughn, completely lost it. "Are you seeki
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0125: Master Theo Of The Underworld Emperors
Seeing that Thorne refused to take his hand, Cody retracted his outstretched palm and sighed, "I apologize, young master. I am just a small county magistrate whereas you are a mighty imperial heir apparent. I am not worthy of your handshake." What the heck! Everyone's faces twitched and they cursed at him inwardly. Does this man have a limit to his shamelessness? Cody on the other hand didn't give a damn about their thoughts. He deftly changed the topic and gestured, "Let's not waste anymore time. I have prepared my humble home for you all. Let's leave." Everyone exchanged a look but no one attempted to move. Cody arched a brow but acted oblivious to their reluctance. With a happy smile, he told them, "I know you have all come to Valoria Prime this time for the sole purpose of investing in Radiance gallery so I negotiated with the president of the gallery beforehand. I have booked the top floor of the Imperial restaurant so you can meet with the president of the gallery tonig
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0126: Building Castles In The Air
"Hello young masters and mistresses. It's my pleasure to meet you all," Master Theo lifted his head and gave them a smile that seemed harmless but filled them with fear.No one responded to his greetings. They were partially still reeling in shock. The Blackwoods actually managed to invite someone like Theo. No wonder Charlotte had spoken so confidently earlier.With someone like master Theo behind them who was the leader of the underworld emperors and also managed to eliminate a mighty general in the past with just five strikes, the Blackwoods didn't have to fear facing Kian.Master Theo could easily take Kian down with just one move. He could also force Kian to reveal the true identity of the mysterious tycoon behind the Celestium mine.But then, the other imperial families exchanged looks. With master Theo assisting the Blackwoods, how would they compete with them for the Celestium mine later?The other imperial families sighed secretly. Their heads suddenly ached thinking of this.

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
