The Legendary King Of War Returns 0282: It Might Be His Neck
At that moment, Charlotte began to doubt her decision. Did she misunderstand and jump into conclusion? Was that necklace some sort of priceless jewelry? "You... You bastard... How... How..." Franklin Faye has never been humiliated before so he was on the verge of losing his mind. Yet, he was unable to construct a complete sentence."The fly is so noisy. Get rid of him," Wesley swatted the air like he was trying to chase an annoying fly. "Yes sir," Kian clasped his hands together and nodded respectfully. He stood up straight and turned abruptly, swinging his fist.POW!Franklin was caught unaware by the hard punch. He staggered backwards and crashed into the table behind him.CRASH!Plate wares, wine glasses and wine bottles shattered under the hard impact of his terrible fall. The wooden table split into two directly. The guests gasped in shock. Their fingers flying up to their lips as their eyes widened. Sophia arched her brows and laid back to watch the show with a rare fascinati
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0283: Where's Garrett?
The nouveau riche thought to himself, 'I defended Charlotte and Franklin in front of everyone. If this masked man decides to come after me now, I won't survive!'Fearfully, he shrunk back into the crowd, trying to blend with the other guests. Tiffany was also beside herself with worry. She had been the one to provoke the crowd earlier and throw Kian's right into the limelight. If he decides to retaliate now, she definitely won't be spared! Just like the nouveau riche, she also tried to be invisible among the other guests. But Kian wasn't concerned about these people.There were more pressing matters at hand. After forcing Franklin to silence, he turned to Charlotte. "Have you received the money?"Charlotte, who was in a state of shock, could only nod. Kian didn't stop there. He smirked and asked, "With such a huge amount than you bargained for, are you satisfied?""Yes... Satisfied... Very... Satisfied..." Charlotte stuttered almost incoherently as she nodded again. "Good. Now it's
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0284: Dead Meat!
Kian's body trembled all over. His tight hold on the necklace eased. His eyes contracted with disbelief. "What did you just say?"Charlotte looked terrified beyond wits. She didn't dare hesitate and immediately repeated a tone that was only above a whisper, "Garrett is dead."When she confirmed her words, Kian stood frozen to the spot. His mind went completely blank. His hand that was holding onto the necklace shook so violently Wesley had to retrieve the necklace from him.Numerous memories flooded Kian's mind. Memories of his childhood friend, Garrett. In their duo, Garrett was usually the most mischievous and reckless one.Back then, Kian was more reserved but he always managed to get into trouble because of Garrett. They had exchanged letters for almost a decade now. Garrett shared everything that happened in his life in those letters. Kian wanted to pour out his own experiences personally because words could never describe them. But that person is actually dead?!When Kian first
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0285: Not A Sign Of Insincerity
No matter what happens, Charlotte cannot reveal the truth of that incident. At least, not now. She has to stall for time and delay the truth until this masked man decides to leave out of frustration.Charlotte thought to herself, 'As long as I can stall for time, I'll call Tristan to help me.'It doesn't matter the true identities of these strangers and how influential they may be. They could never compare to the aristocratic Harrington's family!As for the guests present, Charlotte had no concern for them. She wasn't scared that after this event they would go out and tattletale to the public.She was now publicly known as Tristan's partner and the future daughter-in-law of the aristocratic Harrington's family. Even if these people borrowed guts and courage, they wouldn't dare to offend her or soil her reputation except Sophia of course.But in a moment like this, Charlotte doesn't have the chance or time to worry about Sophia.With these thoughts in mind, Charlotte inhaled deeply an
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0286: Suicide... Or Not
The guests suddenly realized that Kian was looking in one direction. They were confused yet alarmed when he suddenly walked towards Franklin who was still sprawled on the ground.Only Franklin felt the shivers running down his spine. Fear etched his facial expression. He suddenly had a bad feeling and tried to move. But how could he do so when his arms were still pinned to the ground?!He could only lay helplessly and watch Kian cover up the distance between them. When Kian's towering figure loomed over him, he finally panicked.He lost all sense of rationality and yelled in a fearful tone, "You... What are you trying to—argh!"CRACK!Before he could complete his sentence, Kian had stomped his foot down hard. The sickening sound of bones breaking and a painful howl echoed in the hall.Franklin's five fingers on the left had been crushed to a bloody pulp. The excruciating pain made him feel like he was already in hell. Even the guests felt his pain and trembled at Kian's brutality. "T
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0287: Stop Him!
The heavy silence in the hall was only broken occasionally by Franklin's grunts and howls of pain. But apart from this, no one even dared to do so much as squeak.At this moment, Kian was now surprisingly calm and more composed than his angry outburst earlier. But his calm demeanor only made everyone more frightened.Some guests began to curse inwardly, regretting that they ever considered attending Charlotte's birthday party. If they had known that such a brutal and terrifying scene like today was going to happen, they wouldn't have dared step foot in this hall!No one knew what he was thinking. Actually, Kian was pondering. From the moment he suspected that Charlotte Lane might have something or was related to Garrett's death, he already had an inkling of something like this.But now suspicion and confirmation were two different things. Now that he confirmed that his suspicions were right, he was disheartened. Kian's fingers clenched tightly and painfully when he finally comprehen
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0288: Stop Him ii
Besides, even if this man is a skilled martial artist, he is outnumbered. There are so many of them. Can he possibly take down all of them? At least, he would struggle to defeat them. Thinking of this, the guards made a decision. One of the guards shouted, "Let's go! We'll take him down together!"Gritting their teeth, the large group of security guards charged towards Kian. It was such a fierce sight most of the guests backed away in fear.Sophia grew worried and nudged at the bodyguard beside her. "Don't just stand here. Help—""Miss, there are too many of them. We won't stand a chance against. I only brought a few guards because you requested," The body explained to her hesitantly. Seeing that she was about to flare up, he quickly added, "It doesn't look like he needs help. He can handle them on his own."Sophia frowned and didn't say anything more. If she even instructed the guards to help now, they might do more harm than assist. So she could only watch as the guards stormed t
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0289: Blood For Blood
Despite the number of guards that had charged towards Kian earlier, they appeared to have reduced in numbers. Only a few guards remained standing unscathed.But at that moment, none of them wanted to make any more moves forward. Their knees were buckling, their legs were trembling and their faces were pale. The greed and desire that had clouded their minds some minutes ago vanished into thin air. They were replaced by a chilling sense of fear. Kian suddenly took a step towards them. They scrambled back, falling on each other as they tried to back away. They didn't dare to stop him any more.Three hundred thousand dollars might be insane and a once in a lifetime bonus but it wasn't at the expense of their lives. Their lives were still the utmost priority. Fine... It may take years to get such an amount but when there is life, there is hope. The guards immediately shrunk back, indicating that they surrendered. "Bunch of useless cowards! You..." Charlotte spat out angrily, her face p

His words 'Martial Arts Prodigy's weighed down on everyone heavily. Even ordinary civilians who have never practiced martial arts before in their entire life understood what this title means.He was a true master who was at the peak of martial arts and could even establish his own academy or alliance! In the history of martial arts, the only people able to achieve this level in the past were all respected elders of great virtue. But even the youngest and most talented one of those elders who achieved this level in history was in his mid thirties! Yet Ambrose Darkmore claims this masked man who looks like he is in his early and mid twenties was actually a martial arts prodigy?!It was simply astonishing and beyond comprehension!Apart from Ambrose Darkmore, the other elders including Silas Nightingale and Grimm were equally shocked. Their facial expressions turned stoic.Could they easily kill Peter and the other middle-aged man?Yes!But can they do it with a single strike like a ma
0307: A Fluke
It is important to note that Peter isn't just an ordinary leader of a second tier sect. Even among all the leaders of second tier sects, his combat strength was at least ranked among the top five!"No... It can't be!""Impossible!""This useless Peter must have let his guard down!""Yes, that's right. How could this have happened if he didn't?!"In the ring, the other leaders turned pale and staggered back in shock. Their faces were filled with disbelief. Their combat strength and abilities were on par with Peter's own. If this masked bastard could kill Peter with just one move, it means he could easily take them down as well but how is this possible?!Martial artists of the same martial arts level couldn't be killed so easily. Only a true martial arts prodigy could butcher them like chickens. But this masked man looked like he could be in his early or mid twenties. How could he possibly be a martial arts prodigy?As the spectators exchanged uncertain glances and murmured among them
0306: Horrifying!
"You little bastard! Come down here and die!" "Don't keep us waiting!""I won't let you go today!"The angry roars reverberated through the square once again. This time, Kian said nothing else. He simply collected a spear from Augustus Vane.Under the gaze of thousands spectators and several other online viewers as the site was already fixed, he held the spear upside down and descended down, heading into the ring!"Brother, what do you think of this man?"In the area originally designated for the Dark Legion sect which the members of the Harrington's family now occupy, Roland Harrington leaned in and asked an elderly man beside him as he watched Kian's tall figure."Arrogant, reckless and ignorant of his own limitations. In other words, incapable," The elderly man with hair full of white hair beside Roland snorted in an indifferent tone."What do you think the outcome of this battle will be then? How long will it last?" Roland Harrington reached forward to pluck a grape from the tray
0305: Is It Okay If Someone Dies...?
"Augustus, since you will rather save your face than that of your sect, I will gladly help you to care for that haughty punk beside—" The leader of the Iron Fist sect was growling arrogantly when Kian suddenly interrupted him."I have a question."He turned to Silas Nightingale and the other elders of the council when he said this, paying little or no attention to the man in the ring who in his own opinion was simply barking like a scared dog!"Go ahead," Silas Nightingale scowled at him coldly. "Let's have it."Kian's smirk disappeared and a serious expression masked his face. He looked almost innocent as he asked, "Is it okay if someone dies in this sect master battle?"PSST!A chorus of gasps filled the air as a wave of shock rippled through the spectators. This brat really has some nerves asking such a question!Silas Nightingale's face turned as dark as the bottom of a charcoal pot. His fingers itched by his side to slap Kian into silence! But after taking a deep breath and stru
0304: Absurd And Unacceptable!
In the ring, the facial expression of the leader of the Iron Fist sect darkened instantly. Not only him, several others too."Who are you?" Silas Nightingale of the number one top sect, Heavenly Flame questioned coldly with a grim look.Kian tilted his head up at him and casually told him, "The new leader of the Sacred Shadow sect, Kieran.""Haha!" The leader of the Iron Fist sect in the ring laughed maniacally. "This useless, old bastard Augustus has already given up and accepted defeat. You are just a—""When did I ever say I was giving up or admitting defeat?" Augustus' calm voice interrupted him before he could complete his words.A hush fell over the crowd as they processed Augustus' words. Then there was a collective gasp as realization dawned on them. Augustus had truly never said such a thing!He never accepted defeat or gave up. They simply assumed based on his cowardly action and he actually let them misunderstand... This man!"This battle is the second stage of the sect's c
0303: Seal All Exits!
To the elders of the alliance council, the duty of a martial artist is to defend the honor of their sect, no matter the circumstances. Even if the martial artist was severely injured... Even if he could barely move... Even if he had lost his strength to fight. Even if he was on death bed!As long as there was still life in them, they should fight to protect the honor of their sect with their very last breath! And a sect leader? He should be even more resolute!However, Augustus' cowardly attitude before the battle has severely contradicted their principles. To call him a disgrace to the martial community was even an exaggeration. He is condemnation to mankind! Among all the spectators present today, apart from the sects, there were at least tens of thousands of ordinary civilians. Not to mention the countless cameras and drones that were rolling and circulating, broadcasting the sect contest live!This contest must be watched by several hundreds or even thousands of viewers now. Yet
0302: A Waste Of Existence
These opportunities were unimaginable. They have to give this contest their best. While they were thinking about the wealth ahead, the members of the aristocratic Harrington's family took their seats.They occupied the empty area that was initially designated for the Dark Legion sect. No one even cared about the absence of that sect. Just then, the result of the lot drawn between Calvin and the other qualified leaders of the second tier sects was announced.Unexpectedly, the first leader to challenge Augustus Vane was the leader of a second tier sect known as the Iron Fist sect. He was already at the peak level of a martial grandmaster. The sect master battle officially began since the lots were drawn."Let the contending sect master step into the arena," Silas Nightingale who was the host of the contest announced in his booming voice. The leader of the Iron Fist sect stomped his feet on the ground and within a few minutes, he was already in the arena which was the center of the squ
0301: An August Visitor
The central square gradually grew silent with chatter occasionally rising from different ends as people waited for Calvin and the other leaders to draw lots in order to choose the one that would challenge the leader of the Sacred Shadow sect, Augustus Vane.Just as they were impatiently waiting, a hearty, thunderous laughter resounded from the crowd around the entrance. "It looks like I'm just in time as the battle hasn't started yet!"Silence washed over the square as people looked in the direction of the loud voice. Crowd parted ways, revealing a vigorous man in an exquisite, golden coloured robe. He strode into the square confidently.Behind him was an entourage of dozens of men and women. They were all also dressed sophisticatedly, exuding a powerful aura of wealth and nobility."My goodness!" Gasps rose in the crowd like a symphony."That's... That's... That's..." This spectator choked, seemingly unable to complete her words."That's the patriarch of the aristocratic Harrington'
0300: Brutal And Spectacular!
When it was Augustus Vane's turn to speak, he opened his mouth. But just as he did this, Silas Nightingale interrupted him."Fine, since you all agree for the sect master's battle to begin early, the elder council have accepted your request!" His calm voice rang out, directly cutting Augustus off.Instantly, everyone exchanged a look with their neighbors. They all saw what Silas just did. They saw how he dismissed Augustus as unimportant and didn't even let him speak! Wow, the elders council seems to really be cutting Augustus off.The formerly revered leader of the Sacred Shadow sect was now a walking disaster! At that moment, many gleeful and mocking gazes turn in the direction of the Sacred Shadow's tent.But when they saw the reactions of the members of the sect, they were taken aback. The twenty or more disciples, with a few injured ones, looked so calm and surprisingly unfazed by Silas' words.Even Augustus who had just been publicly humiliated showed no signs of anger and was e
