The Legendary King Of War Returns 0154: Don't Get Involved!
Mortimer Blackwood struggled to keep up a composed front but his mind was racing. His expression turned gloomier as the courtyard fell silent. Everyone was waiting for his response.Each passing minute was like a step closer to doom. After a while, Mortimer finally spoke again in a cold tone."Very good... Since this is what you all want to do, instead of wasting resources and fighting against each other, why not join forces?"The four elderly patriarchs exchanged a look. They weren't scared that Mortimer had figured out the plan on their mind, rather, they were confused. What did he mean by join forces?"You... What are you talking about?" The Patriarch of Russell's family questioned with a snort.Mortimer Blackwood snickered and mused inwardly, 'Didn't you start this riot, old man? Why pretend to be puzzled now?'"I mean, let's join forces and get rid of that bastard once and for all!"Mortimer Blackwood patted his chest and announced, "My family will take the lead! Are you all sati
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0155: Don't Regret Your Decision In Future
Grandfather Hathaway was startled. "Orion, are you certain of what you are—""Yes," Orion nodded frantically. "So please, let's not provoke him and incur his wrath.""What the heck!" Before the patriarch of Hathaway's family could speak, Grandfather Sinclair slapped the table furiously. Pointing at Orion, he fumed, "You... Are you looking down on my family?!"But Orion hurriedly bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, grandfather Sinclair. That was not my intention. Please don't misunderstand me."Even though Orion lowered his head and was seemingly apologizing sincerely, he was mocking the old man inwardly.Foolish old man! That person is not someone even the imperial families of Cascadia could mess with. They simply couldn't afford to provoke him. But if they refuse to back out and still carry on with their plan, they would meet their end soon!If Orion mentions his real thoughts, it would sound absurd but he had an inkling his thoughts weren't exactly wrong. "How can our aristocratic fa

"But Cascadia is our territory. If he dares to come here, we won't let him off!" Grandfather Sinclair retorted hatefully. He could almost see Kian in front of him. If that bastard really comes here, he was done for!But the Patriarch of Russell's family was confused. "Didn't you all say we have lie low and not act rashly? Why—""You..." Mortimer Blackwood facepalmed helplessly. Has this old man always being this stupid? "That bastard didn't only offend us. So even if he comes to Cascadia, we might not have to take any action at all before he ends up dead!"Grandfather Russell frowned as his confusion deepened. But then, he suddenly thought of something and sat up, "The children did report that the bastard killed Master Theo. I was unwilling to believe it before... Are you talking about the people of the Underworld Emperors?""Finally, you get it," Mortimer sighed. "Kian killed the leader of the Underworld Emperors. Do you think they will let him go scot-free?""But..." The patriarch o

There was silence once again as the two other patriarchs exchanged a look. This only lasted for a minute before they turned back to Grandfather Windsor. The expressions on their faces clearly showed that they weren't convinced.Grandfather Windsor snorted and rolled his eyes before finally spilling the beans, "Okay... Okay... I'll tell you two old men since you are so eager. I got some news. That boy's identity is not as simple as it seems."The other two patriarchs exchanged a look again. "What did you hear? Why didn't you tell us before?""Well, I don't know for sure as the details are sketchy. So don't ask me," Grandfather Windsor waved dismissively "However, you two need to know that you shouldn't provoke that boy at all unless you want to end up like those five other imperial families!"The patriarchs of Harrington and Carrington were shocked. Their eyes widened in fear as they comprehended the underlying meaning of his words."Do you mean something will happen to those imperial
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0158: A Non-Existent Acquaintanceship
Many mass media companies who did not want to miss out on the news quickly sent out their reporters to investigate the houses of the two families, Sinclairs and Grays.Early that morning, crowds swarmed toward the buildings, eager and relentless. After clamoring outside for some time, some of the reporters managed to push their way inside. But once they did, they discovered something unexpected—the buildings were completely empty. There was not a single soul in the buildings.The members of the Gray's and Sinclair's seemed to have left overnight. This sparked another interesting speculation. Did the two families perhaps commit a huge crime that caused them to scurry away like thieves in the middle of the night? Every headline was carrying the same hashtag. [THE SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE OF THE TWO MAJOR FAMILIES OF VALORIA PRIME]While this commotion was still going on, another piece of news broke out and it was related to the famous Radiance Gallery.[AFTER SOME DAYS OF CLOSURE, RADIAN
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0159: Getting All Worked Up
"Who was it? Was it someone from the gallery?" Savannah asked as soon as he returned. She noticed his dark expression and his frown. She was worried, thinking the call might be related to the gallery as everything had been going quite too well for the past days that she still felt surreal.But Kian smiled, his gloomy expression disappeared like it was just an illusion. "No... It was a personal call. I took care of it. Let's round off our grocery shopping and go home. It's getting late."As if on cue, Noah pouted and whined, "I'm hungry."Savannah laughed and nodded, quickly forgetting about her worries. "Fine. I'll just grab one or two vegetables and then we can go home."As Kian pushed the cart behind her with a smile, he made a mental note to send a message to Wesley later. He needed to find out why the Montgomery's family were spying on him.The next day, Kian dropped Noah off at school and headed to the gallery. Unlike the first few days when the gallery reopened, there were no l
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0160: Human Heads
"Tut-Tut!"The call was immediately answered just after the first ring and Wesley's emotionless but respectful voice came through the line, "General?""Come to the gallery," Kian paused and thought something before he quickly added, "Immediately."Wesley's ears perked up. Immediately? He has accompanied Kian for years and he can confidently say the word 'immediately' was rarely or never used by the general. What could be so urgent?Even when Valoria country's border was invaded by a large army of terrorists one time, Kian was as calm and composed as ever.But this time, he asked him to come to the gallery immediately. The urgency could be heard from his voice. It was strange. Something must be wrong!Thinking of this, Wesley squinted fiercely but before he could speak, Kian called out to him with a puzzled tone, "Wesley, are you there?""Yes sir. I heard you and we will be there in some minutes."Before Kian could ask what Wesley meant by 'we', a 'tut-tut' sound resounded from the pho
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0161: You Look Like A Hamster
"General," Wesley noticed something was wrong and called out. With arched brows, he asked, "Is the human head not enough? Should I have added something else?" Kian facepalmed helplessly. What was he thinking asking this cold-blooded machine for advice? Wesley might seem normal sometimes but he actually wasn't a sane person. When Kian began to make a name for himself in the Valorian army years back, Wesley was introduced to him by the old general. He had quite a pitiful background story. His ancestors ranked till his parents had all been soldiers. They breathed the air on battlefields all their lives and Wesley was just a baby when his parents were killed on the border. He had therefore been raised on the battlefield. Although he didn't choose to become a senior in the army even if he was capable of it, he ran menial jobs. He had killed so many people too. So Kian wanted to kick himself right now for thinking that a man who only knows killing and shedding blood might have som

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
