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
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
"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
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
"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 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
When the laughter ceased, Kian swatted away the wet hair strands that had clung to his forehead so he could fix his cold gaze on the members of Gray's and Sinclair's families. "I underestimated your courage. You people are very brave. Even after death, you still aren't willing to let my parents rest." Kian's appearance was as calm as his voice. He didn't look as repentant and scared as the Grays and Sinclairs expected. This irked them. "Shut your mouth!" Olivia Sinclair sneered at him coldly. "Any sane man would attempt to plead when they are about to be killed but you... You are about to die yet still know how to run your mouth. As expected, you didn't disappoint me, Kian." Olivia's face displayed the deep seated hatred she felt towards him. She would never forget that the first thing this bastard had done after his return was to crash her wedding banquet ceremony and even cripple her groom! Then he had uttered words that added to her humiliation. There were so many of her s
At that moment, Thomas had completely forgotten how Thorne acted towards him on the phone before. After reporting the Celestium mine to the imperial families, they must have earned their trust!Yes... This was the only explanation. Thomas' smile bloomed even more and he views again."Don't worry, young masters and mistresses. We will deal with this small matter quickly and not keep you waiting."'You fools!'The imperial families trembled all over and looked at Thomas like he was a fool. Of course, he didn't notice. The imperial families turned white like they had seen a ghost and they all cursed inwardly.'You godforsaken geezers! Who asked you to bow to us? Stop acting like we are closely acquainted. Don't get us killed!'The imperial families snuck a glance at Kian and almost wanted to cry on the spot. The young man remained calm in the same spot but the look in his eyes... The strong murderous intent couldn't be hidden!The imperial families cursed at Jonathan and Thomas once more
