The Legendary King Of War Returns 0127: Who Said You Could Leave?
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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0128: The Tycoon Is Me
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 Legendary King Of War Returns 0129: Our Imperial Families Won't Let You Go!
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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0130: Who Is Really Acting Recklessly?
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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0131: Are You Appeased Now?
The imperial families felt really aggrieved but they didn't dare voice out their grievances. However, Orion didn't remain silent like the rest. "Brother," He laughed nervously. "You completely misunderstood our intentions. Although we were interested in the Celestium mine, we were not planning to snatch away or use force. We already decided to bargain with the owner." He turned to the other imperial families and asked them with a warning tone, "Right?" "Yes... Yes..." The imperial families chorused and answered. "Bargain?" Kian snorted not one bit convinced by their attitudes. "If I had given in to your threats earlier tonight, were you still going to try to bargain with me peacefully?" The imperial families' faces reddened with embarrassment. Of course not! They were never planning any sort of negotiation. Didn't their threats say it all earlier? Kian sneered at their silence and told them in a cold tone, "The owner of the Celestium mine never mentioned that he wanted to
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0132: Finest Specimen
Charlotte and Christopher Blackwood were startled. Kian's mocking smile was terrifying. It appeared like he was taunting them. Charlotte's beautiful eyes turned red with anger and she remained silent. Veins popped on the forehead of her brother. He was quite unwilling but he couldn't handle such pressure so he lowered his head and gritted out, "My Blackwood's family announces withdrawal. We won't interfere in the mine's affairs anymore." "Brother!" Charlotte wanted to protest but Christopher held her back and shook his head. Her face shone with resentment but due to her brother's warning gaze, she didn't speak anymore. "Okay... Your actions and words are sincere enough. I'll hold you all to your words," Kian swept his gaze around the room and nodded with a smile. The imperial families heaved a sigh of relief but their relief was short-lived when he suddenly told them, "However, Valoria Prime isn't a city anyone can enter and just leave as they please. You have all made
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0133: Stay Put For Three Days
"Six billion?!" Someone choked in disbelief. Kian nodded with a seemingly innocent smile, ignoring the gobsmacked expressions on their faces. "Didn't you all come to Valoria Prime to invest in the Radiance gallery? You have already wasted my time tonight. Compensate for that with your investment." Someone coughed violently. Six billion wasn't a small sum! Even if they were from the imperial families and could afford it, how could such a huge amount go to waste?! Kian didn't actually need their money. But thinking of how excited Savannah had been earlier when she found out that five of the imperial families in Cascadia wanted to invest in her gallery, he felt guilty. It was his fault she was roped into his personal affairs. She deserves to be compensated for that. "Brother, six billion dollars..." Someone trailed off. Six billion was too much for compensation. "Well, I won't be collecting your money for nothing," Kian informed them with a serious demeanor. "Of course, sh
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0134: Don't Call Me That
As soon as Kian walked out of the reserved room, the strong murderous aura over him disappeared without trace. Footsteps reverberated in the hallway as someone approached him. "Keep an eye on those imperial families," He instructed the person in a casual tone, his gaze flicking back to the room he had just exited. "If anyone attempts to escape, kill them!" "Yes sir," Wesley nodded and retreated. Kian walked out of the restaurant lost in thoughts but his steps faltered when he caught sight of someone pacing to and fro in front of the restaurant. Savannah hadn't noticed him and was still mumbling something to herself. Her beautiful face was filled with anxiety. Didn't he tell her to go home? Was this woman so worried the imperial families would deal with him she couldn't leave? She stood all alone outside the restaurant in this cold... He suddenly regretted getting his jacket soiled. He could have draped it over her delicate shoulders. Nevertheless, he walked forward with a

0322: Should Never Have Underestimated Him
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
0321: Could He Be Putting On An Act?
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
0320: Crying Over Spilled Milk
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
0319: Their Beloved Hero
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
