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

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
