The Legendary King Of War Returns 0259: Unforgivable Offense
"Uncle, I don't understand. If they were so powerful, surely they should have been able to wipe everyone out with just a strike," Kian stroked his chin.The meal on the table was completely forgotten. However, Wesley was continuously eating to his heart content. He might be intrigued by Kian and Augustus' conversation but he was famished."Yes, they should," Augustus nodded, looking confused himself. "But they couldn't. It was almost like a bunch of kids wielding and playing around with heavily dangerous weapons but having no clue what to do with them. Just like a group of amateur fighters."Augustus presented an assessment that was gathered from his years of investigation. He looked up at Kian and grinned slightly, "Then, although it was difficult and we lost lives, we managed to take them down in the end."Recollecting the scene all those years, Augustus' grin widened. Taking on so many high level martial artists who were around the same rank as him back then was a great achievement
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0260: I Have Faith In You
"If that person indeed decides to mobilize supreme masters of martial arts, even if they are lacking in combat skills, they will still be formidable opponents." Augustus Vane’s expression turned grave as he spoke. "So we can't take any risks. At least until we find out the background of the other person, it's inadvisable to act rashly."Kian nodded, lowering his head in thought. He understood Augustus' concerns well. This was the exact reason he had come to the capital city—to uncover the truth behind what really transpired between his parents and the Blackwood family all those years ago.Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to conceal his identity, choosing instead to travel as Wesley’s chauffeur and bodyguard? If it were merely about revenge, wouldn't it have been simpler to reveal himself as the legendary King of War and annihilate everyone involved?Augustus exhaled, relieved to see Kian's agreement. "It's good that you’re willing to listen to me. But what do you plan to do
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0261: Drunken Mess i
"I must say Kian, you have really grown. I'm so proud of you," Augustus grinned as he patted Kian's back. "Back then, I used to fantasize with Doug on how we were going to treat you when you were born. I was looking forward to a particular moment. The time you would wet your bed and I would try to rescue you from your parents as a good godfather."Kian's jaws almost dropped at Augustus' words. Wesley on the other hand choked, trying to hold back his laughter."Cough! Cough!"He used to think the general was the most flawless person in the world but just thinking that the general might have also wet the bed when he was younger was hilarious."Ahem," Kian cleared his throat and stroked his nose, feeling embarrassed. "Uncle, what are you saying? I don't have any memories of wetting the bed or my pants.""Look at you," Augustus laughed. "How would you remember? You must have been so young then. Listen, Doug used to wet his pants when we were younger so I expect nothing less from you."Ki

By the time Kian managed to bring out the phone, it had stopped chiming. He shook his head and sighed. But he was too drunk to think of where exactly to press on the screen so he gave up trying and wanted to return to the table when—RING!RING!RING!A frown etched on his face when the phone started chiming again. He answered the call without checking the caller ID, not like he would be able to read the words if he could."Kian," A strange yet familiar melodious voice came through the line. Kian paused, his heart suddenly filled with so much sweetness that was threatening to overtake the sadness in it. "Hello.""You promised to call... We waited all day," The melodious voice seemed to be nursing a grudge.Kian was confused. He sniffled and asked, "Call? When... When... did... I...""You..." The lady sounded exasperated. "Are you drunk?"Kian suddenly felt like he was a little boy about to be scolded. The urge to lie arose and he succumbed. "N...no... I'm... not... drunk... I... I...
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0263: A Childhood Friend
[SAVANNAH]Kian's fingers hovered over the caller ID that was displaying on his phone's screen. He opened up the call record and realized there were two calls from his wife just some hours ago.The last call seemed to have gone on for some minutes. Kian's fingers flew to his lips and he facepalmed. "My goodness, what did you say?" He whispered to himself. He couldn't recall anything from his conversation with Savannah but he must have been very drunk when he answered her call.He was scared of what he might have said to her but he couldn't even remember what he said. Not only did he forget to give her a call when he arrived in the imperial capital city, he also spoke to her while he was a drunken mess."Kian, what did you do?" He slapped himself on the face. Just as he was pondering, the voice came again.'I hope you are assailed with loads of hangovers tomorrow!'He jolted up like he had been electrocuted. Realization dawned on him and his eyes widened. Now he knows why he felt that
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0264: He Beat Me Up... Again
"Cough! Cough!" Wesley choked and quickly grabbed a cup of water. When he regained his composure, he turned to Kian with eyes as wide as saucers.He couldn't believe there was actually someone that beat up the general. Well, that was when he was younger but still—"He probably didn't know about your identity, right?""No," Kian shook his head. "He only found out the next day after I cried to my parents to have his family thrown out of our rental home."Wesley laughed smugly and winked, "Then, he must have come to grovel at your feet and plead."The smug smirk on Wesley's face was wiped off by Kian's words, "No. He actually beat me up again."Wesley's jaws dropped. He turned off the stove because the soup was starting to burn and turned around abruptly. "What?"Kian laughed at the recollection of the past. "Yes, he beat me up again and then dared me to go running to my parents to kick his family out of Valoria Prime this time since we were so powerful."Now Wesley held his stomach and
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0265: Ruthless Slayer
When Kian and Wesley got out of the sect, the town was still bustling with activities although it was still very early in the morning. "We'll head to Garrett first. I remember he told me he runs a hotel. We could stay there first and then also ask him about the wedding date," Kian suggested as they walked into the town. Wesley nodded without objections and quickly followed his lead. Meanwhile, in a dimly lit alley, there were several men armed with weapons like knives, guns and even clubs. They were all huddled in one corner and all seemed to be asleep except a few of them.Among them, a man wrapped with thick gauze all over was assisted to the front by another man. The bandaged man was the thug, Jackal. The one Cyprus had beaten up, leaving him broken at the food street earlier that day.With all the bandages wrapped around him like a mummy, Jackal was barely recognizable and he looked ridiculous. His dark eyes watched straight out of the alley without blinking. They were filled wi
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0266: Sounds I Love To Hear
Jackal gulped in fear, feeling less convinced with his own words. Working with someone like Axel was like going into the lion's den. He knew that Axel will really do as he has just said and hang up his severed head at the town square if those people never show up. Although the Martial Arts Alliance had set some rules that prohibited martial artists from killing ordinary citizens, Axel doesn't seem to care about those rules. To a martial artist, accidentally killing someone or more people would only warrant at most a minor punishment. The lives of martial artists were more important to the Alliance than that of ordinary citizens. "Axel, don't worry. I promise you they'll show up," Jackal's voice trembled slightly as he tried to assure Axel. The latter nodded and wanted to pass instructions to his men when two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. Jackal's eyes widened with recognition. It was the men from the food street walking side by side! "Axel, look,

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
