Earlier when Mauro called, one of the things he had revealed was that the person behind the abduction of Savannah and others was Margaret.

Kian's men had not been able to uncover the identity of the abductor yet because she had cleaned up her tracks pretty well.

It was Mauro's investigation that revealed that Margaret is the one behind the kidnapping. Not only that, she was also the one that orchestrated the entire scandal.

Kian was livid beyond imagination. That stupid woman. How many chances has he given her to live? Yet, she does not cherish her life. This time, she will pay for all her sins.

"Wesley," Kian turned to the people behind him. "Gather everyone and evacuate all the tourists. If within four hours, she refuses to surrender, sink this island!"

Everyone present and those hearing him from the microphone trembled in shock. Kian spoke as if he was deciding a trivial matter but the killing intent in it made everyone horrified.

S—sink the island?! Is Kian really going to sink th

    "Argh!" The manager groaned and stopped instantly as a low sound of gunshot rang out. The back of his clothes quickly turned red with blood.His eyes widened in despair and he tried to take another step in an attempt to escape but—BANG!"Ah!" Savannah shrieked as the manager dropped to the ground weakly and limp. The other salesmen who saw what happened were shocked and frightened!"Margaret, how dare you?!""You crazy bitch! We won't spare you!""We won't spare you!"THWIP!Margaret's eyes were cold and fierce as she pulled the trigger again without any hesitation. THWIP!THWIP!Low gunshots rang out and the salesmen fell to the ground. The last salesman beside Margaret silently took out a knife from his pocket.

Then... The cave was

    "Sister-in-law, five years ago, you remember what became of the Blackwood's family. Kian was set up and falsely accused. He had to go to jail and even forcefully sign a divorce that gave away all his assets to Sinclair's family. My aunty and uncle couldn't handle what had become of their son so they committed suicide," Vivienne began to speak; her eyes tearing up.Savannah was silent. She hadn't known much about the Sinclair's family years ago because she had been embroiled in troubles of her own. As a matter of fact, Kian had been the cause of her woes. But hearing Vivienne's words caught her off guard. How did she never know about all this? Perhaps, she had been so filled with hatred for Kian that she didn't pay attention to any news concerning him."Even Kian was sentenced to death. That day, my father had rescued him from the death gallows and brought him home. I have never seen anyone as battered and broken as him. Sister-in-law, his legs had been broken almost rendering him cri

    Nobody knew Kian was panicking for the first time in his life. Savannah, Noah and Vivienne are the only family he has left in the whole world. He doesn't want to see any of them ever get hurt.But now, Margaret was holding them captive and their lives were in danger. What if Margaret or her accomplices couldn't resist and hurt one of them? What if he really underestimated Margaret and after the four hours ultimatum he has given her, she doesn't release them? Kian's face was as calm as the sea but his heart was in turmoil. More thoughts flooded his mind, adding to his anxiety.Time passed by slowly and within a blink of an eye, three hours had passed. By now, several heavy machinery ships had already begun to circle around Jeju island. Everyone had been evacuated from the island and it was empty. The heavy machinery ships circled around like sharks surrounding their prey. Just one word from Kian, the island will be erased from existence!However, after so long, there was no response

    At the cave, Margaret was acting all gleeful. She knew waiting to see what happened would be worth it! That bastard couldn't hold on any longer and finally compromised. Very good!She casually tossed the gun in her hand and looked at Savannah whose face was ugly. Resentment flickered in her eyes as they darted to the three people sitting helplessly.Killing these three and then taking Kian's life would be the perfect revenge. But to think of it, will Kian really not retaliate like he promised? She doesn't believe that! However, he already promised. Seeing that, she couldn't touch his bottom line. Since her initial goal was Kian, what did it matter if she let Savannah and the others go?If she is able to kill Kian, it doesn't matter at all. Thinking of this, Margaret no longer hesitated and directly waved at the last salesman that had remained with her."Take them out but don't release them until you have captured that bastard!"The salesman's face visibly stiffened and he cursed inwa

    On a small ship not far away from Jeju island, Ian Sinclair laid comfortably on a chaise longue. He seemed to be in a merry mood, sipping wine and enjoying a massage from two sexy, scantily dressed women.He was watching everything that was playing out at Jeju island on a big tablet in his hand. When he saw Kian dragged into the island with life threatening injuries, he smoked a pipe happily.Kian was so badly injured it was evident he wouldn't survive! Haha! Until those criminals decide to take his life, he is currently useless and is like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered!Ian smiled smugly. The deaths of the imperial family members who died at the hall that day will be avenged today! But this time, they won't just be getting revenge, he even managed to exhort a large sum of money from Kian. That fool!"Set sail and let's head to Cascadia," He laughed as he waved his hands. As soon as he finished speaking, he drained the content of the wineglass and stood up. Taking the hands of

    The knife aimed at Kian's forehead halted midway as the phone's chimes filled the serene environment. Margaret hissed and dropped the knife as she reached into her pocket to retrieve the phone that was ringing.It was a disposable phone that she had gotten on a whim. It has never rang since the whole trouble started so Margaret was confused about who would be calling her and how they got her private number.Various thoughts flashed through Margaret's mind as she looked at the unknown number displaying on the phone screen. But just when the call was about to end, Margaret held her breath and answered the call."Margaret, do you want to escape a death sentence?" As soon as the call connected, an unfamiliar middle-aged voice came through the line.Margaret trembled slightly. She doesn't know the other party but they know her and from the looks of things, they have been searching for her.However, she remained cautious and didn't speak. Only her steady breathing could be heard by the othe

    "Go and prepare the other ammunition," Margaret turned to the salesman, obviously in a foul mood. "In an hour, we'll head out.""What about this guy..." The salesman pointed at the barely conscious Kian. "Let him be," Margaret waved her hands impatiently and sneered. "He's already in this state. It's impossible for him to run now."The salesman nodded helplessly then hurried to carry out her instructions. Together, they checked their ammunition, completely ignoring Kian.The latter laid on the ground with his eyes closed. From afar, one would think he was already dead considering the bloody pool he was in.But he was still breathing faintly. Although the bleeding has ceased now and he won't die in Margaret's hands, the same can't be said for later.The imperial families of Cascadia suddenly contacted Margaret. Their intentions were obvious. He definitely won't be able to escape death later. Those imperial families won't let him go.As Kian laid still, many ways of how those imperial

    Wesley had returned to the yacht and was watching the situation with a grim expression when his phone suddenly chimed.It was a cryptic message from an unknown sender which he quickly managed to decipher. [The imperial families of Cascadia want to intervene in the situation. Assign people to patrol the sea. Once the people from the imperial families are found, they must be killed immediately!]Wesley lifted his head and looked around quickly. Everyone was focused on the island. Who could have sent this message?It definitely isn't from the general as he is currently in the hands of those criminals and has no access to communication. So who could have—"Ay, Wesley, that's not the most important thing right now," Wesley facepalmed at his thoughts. Does it matter who sent the message? The utmost concern now was that the general was in greater danger. If the imperial families are coming to intervene, the general will never escape.Perhaps those sly people were the ones that orchestrated

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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
