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
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0135: Doomed
More people ran over to the gallery to find out what was really going on. They discovered the gallery was still in place but it was locked. Then who was spreading the false news? Some people were more concerned about the whereabouts of the gallery's staff. Some tried to call Savannah but neither her number or that of any of the gallery's staff was going through. This left the citizens of Valoria Prime spiraling in total confusion. Meanwhile, Savannah was resting peacefully at home, unaware of the storm brewing in the city. Kian had suddenly asked her to take a break from the gallery's affairs for a few days. She didn't question his suggestion because she had worked hard since the exhibition event and their gallery had made more sales than expected. RING! Savannah raised her head from the puzzle book she had been solving with Noah when her phone rang. But before she could do anything, Kian had walked over and disconnected the call. "You... What are you doing? That might be
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0136: Violate The Dead
Alexander's eyes darted from his beautiful bride-to-be to his younger half-brother, Anthony who was glaring at him with resentful eyes. Alexander's lips curled up with a mocking smile. Anthony was now mute and although he was glaring resentfully, there was nothing the bastard could do! Now that Anthony was mute and utterly useless, Alexander's position as the future successor of the family was cemented. His competitor was out of the way once and for all! 'And I only have that bastard to thank for this,' Alexander's smile widened. This was all because of Kian. Alexander's eyes darted to his crippled legs. This injury was worth it. "Let the feast begin!" Thomas Sinclair laughed and waved his hands, gesturing to the servants. The courtyard soon echoed with happy cheers and laughter. After a while when the feast and celebrations had started, Jonathan raised his cup and cheered with Thomas. After draining the contents of the cup, he suddenly posed a question that's been trou
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0137: Forgotten Memories
"General, I have completed my investigation. The rumors are indeed true. On Friday, the Grays and Sinclairs are planning to invade the hall and dig up your parents grave." Kian's fingers, which had been gingerly swaying a golden cup, stopped. One couldn't see his facial expression as his head was lowered. But Wesley was fuming on his behalf. He has followed Kian for years. He knew his personality more than anyone else. Even if he was a cold general who killed people without batting an eye on battlefields, this man was only human and also knows how to feel wronged. This was the height of wickedness the Grays and Sinclairs could have ever shown. THUMP! Wesley fell to his knees and bowed. In a pleading tone, he asked, "Kian, you don't have to endure this any longer. Just say a word. I will wipe out those two families. Just an order from you is all I need... Please..." Kian didn't say a word but his fingers trembled slightly. Wesley rarely addressed him by his first name. W
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0138: Bloody Corpses To Honor You
There was a big armchair in one corner of the room by a bookshelf. The book shelf was broken and completely ruined. The chair itself was nothing to write home about. After years of neglect, it had been destroyed by moths and was in a miserable state. But Kian could still see a beautiful middle-aged woman sitting on the armchair. A pair of medicated glasses on her face, a teacup in one hand and a book in the other. 'Mom, are you reading one of those romance books again? You already have dad. Why do you still read about fictional men?' Kian would always tease his mother whenever he popped in from work and found her reading. 'I spent the best of my youth dating your father... I didn't have time to read these books. Now he has lost most of the manly charms I fell for. This is my only escape from reality.' Kian's lips twisted with a smile; he could still hear his mother's teasing response. And that was when his father would grumble, 'I heard that.' A bitter laughter escaped from
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0139: Only Weapon I Can Count On
"Who said that?" The arrogant man from earlier turned around and glared at the crowd. He was the only son of Thomas Sinclair and had been pampered from birth, explaining why he had a terrible attitude. The crowd were silent and no one dared say a word. He smirked and questioned them in a fierce tone, "Why don't you repeat yourself? Are you too scared to do that?" The crowd exchanged a look. A group of young men who couldn't stand his attitude, stepped out and criticized him. "Who do you think you are to—" BANG! BANG! BANG! Hardly had the first man finished speaking when the guards of Sinclair's family descended on, barraging them with kicks and punches. "Ow!" "Ah!" "Mom!" "Stop hitting my son!" "Don't kill my husband!" Painful cries echoed in the hall amongst the crowd until Sinclair's young master raised a palm causing the attacks to cease. The badly bruised young men limped away in fear. "If anyone speaks again, I'll order my men to kill you all! Don't u
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0140: If He Takes One More Step...
The remaining five guards were stupefied watching blood taint the rain water splatting on the ground and the head of their colleague rolling down the road.SLASH!Before they could recover from their shock, Kian already raised his blade and beheaded them all in a swift strike. They didn't even have to cry in pain or fight back as they succumbed to a silent death.Without flinching, Kian stepped on one corpse and another, heading into the hall through the gates which the guards had refused to grant him entry to before.Back in the hall, Jonathan Gray was already getting impatient. The guards haven't announced Kian's arrival yet and there was no sign of the little bastard either. Was that bastard such a coward he wasn't willing to show up even after knowing what is at stake? Will all their efforts today just be in vain?"Call the guards. Is that bastard still not here yet? Will he not show up today...""Uncle, don't get so worked up," Olivia smiled, walking up to him to pat his arm gen

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
