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.

    "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

    "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

    "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

    "Alas," Vivienne sighed and placed a palm over her forehead dramatically. "My life is so pitiful. Everyone treats me like a tool. Even this man."Kian gaped at her and wondered why he even thought of asking her for help in the first place. But then, he needed her assistance so he gritted and folded his palms."Vivienne, I invited you to lunch not only to question you but because I missed you... Please, help me out.""You missed me?" Vivienne's face lit up and she rested her head on her hands. "It doesn't sound very sincere though."Kian hissed and grabbed a fork. "I'll poke your eyes out if you continue looking at me with that doe-eye expression. It's creepy."Vivienne rolled her eyes and grumbled, "He can't even handle a small joke. He needs my help but can't ask politely."Kian dropped the fork and facepalmed. He mumbled some incoherent words in frustration but when he raised his head, there was a mysterious expression on his face."Fine... I'll fulfill anything you want as long as

    Margaret stood motionlessly as she watched the duo talking excitedly some distance away from her. She gnashed her teeth in anger and her fingers clenched around her phone as she looked down at the picture she had just taken.The moment she met Kian, her life had been cursed. She not only fell from grace to grass but was now subjected to a difficult living.She used to be a revered bank manager but now, she was reduced to the level of a lowly dishwasher!If it wasn't for Kian, she wouldn't have been fired from the car dealership store the same week she was hired. Since then, her life has never been the same.No other businesses wanted to hire her. The store manager also constantly sent people after her in order to avenge the loss she had caused him.She had to run for her life and was now living in and out of cheap motels around the city.

    Savannah looked at the folder sent by a mysterious email address and her brows furrowed. The mouse cursor hovered over the folder as she hesitated for a minute. But then her furrowed brows eased and she clicked mouse. The cursor pressed into the folder and within a second, several pictures were displayed on the desktop's screen.Her eyes widened as she took in the explicit scene displayed on the desktop. She quickly recognized the two main characters of the pictures. Kian and a young woman were smiling beautifully at each other. She had seen him smile every now and then since they got closer. Each time, it always caught her attention. But the way he smiled at her was nowhere close to how he smiled at the woman in the pictures. He looked at ease with her. Savannah's facial expression turned cold and her fingers trembled slightly as she moved the mouse around, scrolling down. In every single picture, the smile never left Kian's face. There was a particular picture where their heads

    [Very good... I'll contact you soon and give you more information. Don't forget what I told you. No matter how wild the matter spurns, don't release a statement or meddle in it]Savannah was now calmer than when she first got the first mail. But her eyes were red and had traces of tears. Her lips were also trembling but she breathed in deeply and looked down at the keyboard to type a response.[Understood. I'll wait for your instructions]In the restaurant backroom, Margaret's lips curled up when she saw Savannah's mail. She snickered as she went through their emails.This fool actually fell for her words. She didn't even suspect it was a trap. Margaret snorted at herself with a pleased expression."That bastard will pay for what he has done. I will make him pay. Let's see how he makes his way out of this one," Margaret pointed at the door and swore, "Kian, I will leave your reputation in shambles. Mark my words! It will be worse than the scandal that year. I will make sure that you

    Kian's expression darkened as he pulled out his phone and quickly opened the browser. He only had to input Valoria Prime to see the trending topic.

    The Wilson's family were not the only ones fuming at the news report. In the imperial Blackwood's family house located in Cascadia, some people were also watching the news report with dark expressions."At the time of this report, it has been revealed that the two thugs that attacked Kian Blackwood are from Cascadia. Their pictures will be shown on the screen..."Immediately the news anchor gave his report, two pictures were displayed on the screen with a warning above, 'GRAPHIC IMAGE WARNING.'The pictures were blurry but everyone present in the hall immediately recognized the people on the screen.

    When was the last time an elderly person nagged at him so tenderly like this? Kian's smile widened. Before this incident, Ida looked down on him. She wanted to kick him out of the house and their lives.Even though Nathaniel allowed him to marry Savannah, Kian always felt his father-in-law never truly accepted him. To them, he was more of an outsider than their son-in-law.But at that heartwarming moment, Kian didn't feel such discomfort anymore. Even though Ida was still nagging at him like always, he felt her resentment towards him had faded. It seemed as if the walls they had put up against him had completely broken down. "Remember all you just said next time," Nathaniel patted him with a smile.Kian nodded dutifully and looked at Ida, giving her doe-eyed expression. She scoffed and tried to hide her smile. But his expression was so persuasive that she gave in and patted him gently with a chuckle."Alright... Alright... Although you tend to not use your brain sometimes, you are qu

    Hours passed quickly and it was late in the night when the doors of the emergency room flew open. Kian was wheeled out by some doctors and taken to another VIP ward.In the ward, people like Savannah, Wesley, Magistrate Cody and others were already waiting for his arrival. Seeing that Kian was safe, everyone was filled with relief and joy.Savannah's eyes even began to tear up again. "Don't cry," Kian gave her a reassuring smile, seeing her tears. "They didn't manage... to get to... me thanks to that person.""Yes madam and we have conducted another test. He doesn't have any internal bleeding like was earlier suspected. We apologize for our incompetence," One of the doctors chimed in with a bow.However, thinking of the fact that Kian was almost abducted after how he suffered earlier made Savannah's nose sore and tears streamed down her face. She should have insisted on following the ambulance earlier. What would she have done if something really happened to Kian and he wasn't fortun

    SLAP!Kian's palm collided with the old man's palm, slapping it away horizontally. His palm hit the old man's fist and a terrifying force pressed down on the latter.Reginald's body trembled and he went still for a minute. He didn't get to retreat like before. His eyes widened as a shock rippled through his body. THUD!A wheezing gasp escaped his lips before he crumpled to the ground, clutching his chest as blood trickled from his mouth. This man... How could he simply be a powerful military martial artist? The power and force in just his strike was stronger than fifteen military martial artists combined together!The strike just one... Only a top tier ranked martial artist could perform it. The level at the peak of all martial arts was the War God level. And there was only one person ranked at the War God level in the entire Valoria country! That person was—Face contorted with pain, Reginald stuttered painfully, "You are... the... legendary king of war?!"In Valoria country, ther

    CLANG!A shrill sound rang out as metal clashed. The fake doctor's face changed drastically! Right before his horrified gaze, his right arm along the half broken piece of the surgical knife was cut off easily!It was as if Kian was handling meat. The fake doctor's face filled with fear and pain instantly! "You... How..."The metal pieces of the surgical knife were made from the same material so how could Kian do this easily? While the fake doctor was still dazed, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a severe pain in his throat. "Argh!" His eyes widened as his remaining fingers flew up to cover his throat while staggering right out of the ambulance. Looking at Kian, the disbelief, terror and hatred were evident in his eyes as blood spilled in between his fingers. THUD!He fell to the ground with a loud bang and convulsed all over but life immediately snuff out of him. Then his body laid still and stiff on the ground."Tommy!" The old man who had disguised as the driver howled in pain and

    Although the doctor's hands were covered with thin gloves, he could clearly feel that the doctor's palm was too rough. It was a norm that doctors who often need to hold surgical knives prioritize their hands the most.Some doctors even had expensive insurance specifically for their hands. This is because their hands are too rough, the control and flexibility will be affected which is forbidden for doctors.Kian laid still and focused on the feel of the doctor's hands. It seems to him as if the roughness of the hands was not due to lack of care. Rather, he would have said these rough hands were results of years of martial arts training!And just now, his colleagues were showing concern. At least, one would have thanked them. But the doctor was not only reluctant to speak and even insisted he was fine. Kian instantly became alert. This kind of person is suspicious... There is something wrong somewhere. SKIP!While Kian was dwelling on those thoughts, the tires of the ambulance suddenl

    Savannah's eyes widened at Kian's words and the red tinge in her cheeks deepened. She lowered her head shyly but after a minute of hesitation, she nodded. Under Kian's dazed look, she leaned in, closed her eyes and pressed her soft, pink lips against his bruised ones.This time, it was different from the last time that their lips simply brushed each other. Kian quickly regained his composure and kissed her passionately.The ward which had a medicinal air earlier seemed to be giving off romantic vibes. Kian only let Savannah go when she had almost run out of breath.She pulled back and panted softly: her face as red as tomato. However, she didn't take her eyes off Kian. Thus, he was able to notice how her eyes filled up with tears again. "Hubby, I'm sorry... I completely misunderstood you and even got you into so much trouble..." Her face was filled with guilt and remorse.However, Kian was taken aback. "You... What did you just call me?"Savannah was speechless and flushed furiously

    "Argh!"Gunshots rang out, blood splattered, Margaret and her accomplice screamed in horror as the bullets cut through their calves.They fell to the ground writhing in pain. What is going on? Are these officers not from the imperial families? Are they not on their sides?THUD!Thunderous footsteps resounded as the officers walked forward and immediately surrounded them. "Drop your weapons and put your hands on your heads!""If any of you attempt to move again, you will be shot to death on the spot!"Faced by several gun barrels, Margaret and her accomplice froze, completely paralyzed with fear. Their faces turned ashen as realization dawned on them.These officers are really here to capture them. They are really not from the imperial families! Shit!At the same time, Magistrate Cody and his companions were relieved. If it turned out that the officers were really in cahoots with those criminals, the Valorian government would have completely lost face.Not to mention, there were hundr

    Four small yachts floated on the sea some kilometers away from Jeju island. It was evening and coupled with the facts that all their lights had been turned off, the yachts were shrouded with darkness.The yachts swayed slightly with the waves. The bright clouds gave way for the gruesome sight of the dark sea waters. Beneath the yachts, the sea waters had turned bloody red. It was a tragic scene! Not far away from the spot, several shark fins had begun wading in the water, having been alerted by the strong smell of blood.The sharks soon began to tear and fight for food. The waves surged, carrying severed arms and limbs!"You... Who are you?! You can't kill me!" A terrified scream suddenly rang out from one of the yachts. In the yacht, a man was kneeling on the deck. His two arms had been cut off cruelly and there was blood everywhere.Several armed and masked men surrounded him, standing silently. Like ghosts, they just stared at him without saying a word.Their silence was even mor
