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

    "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 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

    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

    "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.

    As the men pushed the heavy doors open, the delicious aroma of many delicacies wafted to the doorway. There was a huge banquet table in the middle of the room ladened with different appetizing meals and wines of every kind. There were many unfamiliar people sitting around the table. When Savannah, Kian and Oscar walked in, all eyes turned to them.THUD!The door slammed shut behind them and without noticing the sinister look exchanged, Savannah walked forward."Good evening everyone. I am Savannah, the president of Radiance gallery. I am honored to welcome you all to Valoria Prime."Savannah was very excited and even bowed to them severally. The first person to speak was Orion Hathaway. He stood up with a warm smile."One shouldn't really believe what rumors say. I see Miss Savannah is not only a business whiz but also an exceptional beauty. It's nice to finally meet you."He was about to make a move forward to give her a handshake when someone hissed loudly in the room, "Oh, shut up

    Charlotte Blackwood glared at him, knowing he was saying the truth. This bastard!"Kian..." Savannah's facial expression changed and she tried to speak but Kian looked down at her and shook his head."Just trust me, okay?" He patted her hand gently as he spoke. Savannah's troubled heart subconsciously eased after hearing his words. After some minutes of silence, she slowly nodded. "I'm quite impressed, bastard. You are actually loyal to her," Charlotte sniggered and then to Savannah, she waved her hands dismissively. "Get out right now!"The person they had all come for was Kian. It doesn't matter if his wife escapes now. Charlotte would pretend to agree with Kian for now but once they have gotten what they want, she will go after his bitch and kill her! Anyone who was related to Kian in Valoria Prime won't be let off!Savannah was quite reluctant to leave, feeling incredibly anxious for her husband but Kian leaned down and whispered some comforting words into her ears until she fin

    The wooden table split into two. Dishes and bowls shattered. Food splattered all over and expensive wine bottles were ruined!The imperial families stood up with a start and retreated in shock. Master Theo was lying on the broken table in a pitiful state. His palm had been twisted from the right angle and he was writhing in pain.He had also suffered some injuries from the crash and was starting to bleed. The imperial families watched him in horror.This was Theo, the leader of the Underworld Emperors who had once put an end to the life of a mighty general with just five moves. Unexpectedly, he had been defeated by a single move?!Master Theo however was in a daze as he stared at Kian with a small hint of fear. Grappled with excruciating pain, he struggled to sit up. But there was one question burning in his mind: 'Who the heck is this man?' Even the best martial artist in Valoria Prime couldn't counter his hand combat. It was a technique he had developed himself. But with just one

    Kian took in their faces which had gone completely white from fear. He shrugged nonchalantly, "I don't like it when someone threatens me." No one could refute his words. Not even Master Russell who was grieving his son and was filled with resentment had the courage to speak. Kian swept his gaze around the room until his eyes landed on one young master who was hiding away. "You called me a stray bastard earlier, didn't you?" "No!" The young man trembled and shook his head. He didn't hesitate to point fingers at Preston's corpse. "He was the one who said it, not me." "But you did call me a bastard, didn't you?" As Kian asked, he walked towards the young man. "I... No... I... Didn't..." The man stammered but before he could complete his words, SWISH! Another knife had already cut through the air and pierced his chest, stabbing his heart. He staggered backwards and hit the wall. As he slid slowly to the ground, he left a bloody trail on the wall. "You bastard, I'll kill

    At this time, Kian had already staggered to the edge of the ring when he was hit with another fierce strike from Ambrose Darkmore. The blade slashed through his back and tore through his robe, revealing a trail of bloody line."Ugh!" He spewed a mouthful of blood and breathed laboriously. He was already critically injured. Seeing him in this state, Silas Nightingale was overjoyed and charged forward. "Keep it up! He's already at the end of his wits!"Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders were also delighted. They prepared to strike again and give Kian the final blow. Feeling the terrifying gusts of wind swirling around him, Kian arched a bloodied eyebrow. After being attacked for the nth time, he was now utterly battered. This act has been on for too long, it's time to put an end to it.So this time, he stood firm on the spot and didn't dodge. Panting heavily, he waited for Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders to close in on him. To the spectators, it appeared

    The central square was in a somber atmosphere. The crowd's emotions stirred because of Roland. But Wesley, who the show was for, simply looked at the middle-aged man speechlessly.He couldn't help but ponder, 'Did the general hire this old man to play this dramatic role and add more fuel to the fire? Why is he performing so enthusiastically?'In the ring, Kian, who was supposedly beaten to the brink of death, felt his face twitch severally. 'Who is this person that's acting so dramatic? I didn’t hire anyone...'Even the facial expressions of Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders in the ring changed. They threw Roland grim looks and scoffed,"Why are you shouting so dramatically? Are you really so sad?!"If one didn't know better, they would have mistook Kieran for Roland's first son with the way he was wailing.Everyone knows the presence of Harrington's family at the square today was to recruit powerful martial artists for their family, but even if Kieran dies at

    BANG!BANG!BANG!Just as Kian was about to tumble out of the ring in a bloody mess, Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders struck him again. Two of them dragged him back to the center of the ring, leaving behind a large trail of blood, which made the hearts of the spectators bleed even more.They didn't stop there and immediately pounced on him. Within the few minutes that they began their assault, Kian was already drenched in blood. He looked motionless and utterly defeated.Meanwhile, at the area that had been designated for the Dark Legion sect, which was now occupied by the representatives of the aristocratic Harrington's family, Roland Harrington was seething furiouslyHe was on the edge and visibly frustrated. At any rate, the masked man will obviously not survive! How could he lose a gem when he just found it? His eyes instinctively trailed from the ring to the section in the tent of the Sacred Shadow sect where Wesley was sitting. At this point, he couldn

    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

  • 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

    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
