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

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

He also seems to have had a good relationship with Garrett before his demise.A dreadful thought crossed Charlotte and Franklin's mind simultaneously. They certainly won't be able to escape alive today!They were so horrified that despair tore away at their hearts slowly. Is this the end? Disregarding the watchful gazes of the terrified onlookers, Kian casually picked up a buffet knife from the nearby table.Charlotte was now powerless to resist. She could only sit helpless and watch blankly as the sharp knife glinted in the light. People held their breath as Kian halted. But to their disappointment, the bloody scene they were waiting for didn't unfold. Instead he crouched and stretche

What a joke!Nevertheless, the rumours that have been circulating for years were finally confirmed. One of the top fifteen sects of the Ancient Martial Alliance, the Sacred Shadow sect which was once powerful had truly fallen from grace!

"The Divine Sword sect is here!"At that moment, the noisy and bustling central square fell silent. The members of the lower tier sects looked up in awe.

The central square was quite massive and wide. But even so, it was densely packed. If one looked around, it was easy to see that apart from the central arena and some exclusive areas for the various sects competing, the square was filled with a sea of heads,

His words made everyone's eyes light up. True to his words, that haughty man must have been well prepared. If one family tries to take him down rashly, they might incur a heavy loss.But if three top families unite to take him down, then there is confidence that they will succeed. The Faye's family patriarch pondered on this and thought it was reasonable.After a moment, he nodded and looked up at his second son. "Fine, let's do it your way this time. Don't let me down."The young man nodded with a smile, "You can count on me. You are so wise."His obvious flattery pleased the patriarch so much that he looked at the disabled on bed and thought, 'Why have I never noticed how capable this second son is?'What an irony! Up until that moment, he has always ignored this second son of his. He channelled all his attention and affection to his favorite son, Franklin.But now that Franklin was disabled and bedridden, he finally noticed his second son who has always been there all along. How hy

"How preposterous!" The Faye's family Patriarch kicked the person closest to him in fury. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the elderly doctor that just got up."Argh!" The poor doctor let out a scream of agony as he lost his balance and his head against the wall. Blood oozed out of his broken nose."How dare that bastard?! Who does he think he is to say such preposterous words?!" The patriarch roared like a provoked beast. He was shaking all over with fury.The atmosphere in the room dropped by several degrees. All the members of the Faye's family cowered and trembled fearfully.Like it was revealed earlier, the Faye's family is one of the top families in the capital city, Cascadia. They were just some ranks below the aristocratic families.Even at that, they held supreme authority and had an extraordinary status in the capital. When civilians encounter any of the Faye's family, they would bow in reverence and greet them respectfully. This was just how powerful they were.But now, n
0293: Can He Be Saved?
An hour had already passed and time was still running out. Under ordinary circumstances, it would be impossible to evacuate from such a huge five star hotel and restore things to their original state but when faced with a death ultimatum, the human brain has no limits.About an hour and half later, the entire hotel was completely empty. Everything that used to belong to Charlotte and the Lane's family had been taken out of the hotel. The five-star hotel was returned to its original state. The state it was in when Garrett was still in change. Kian and Wesley watched over the entire process. The staff didn't know who they were or why they had to follow their orders but after getting a wind of what had happened in the banquet hall earlier, they didn't dare question the new authority.[BREAKING NEWS...]Likewise the guests who had dispersed immediately spread the news. Soon the hot topic in the Blackwoods district was Charlotte's birthday celebration. Within a few hours, news reached t

Sophia couldn't hide her fury this time. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and glared at Wesley red-faced. But before she could lash out at him, Alvin stepped in between them."Mister, I apologize if you misunderstood my mistress' intentions. We do not have any intention to resell the necklace if that is what you are afraid of. This necklace is really precious to my Mistress and we'll pay any fair amount as long as you let us have it."Wesley stroked his chin. He looked at Sophia who was trying to inhale and exhale in a bid to calm herself. Feisty...He suddenly had an urge to tease her so he did just that. "I'm pretty curious. Does this mean your Mistress will be willing to pay twice of what we paid just to have the necklace?"Alvin lost all respect for Wesley and he snapped, "That's outrageous! How—""Yes," Sophia intercepted the discussion and came forward. "You want me to pay eight hundred million dollars right? I'll do it right away as long as you don't back out on your w
0291: You Lost Your Chance
"Ah!""Ah!""Ah!"With each slice of the knife, Charlotte shrieked in pain. Her agonized screams and the gruesome sight of her bloodied wrist sent chills down everyone's spine.CREAK!CREAK!Finally, the knife had hit the wrist bone. The sound was low but sharp. At this moment, Charlotte no longer had the strength to scream. She had completely lost all sense of pain and was just mindlessly slicing away at her wrist with the knife.A formerly beautiful diva like her using a table knife to saw through her own wrist. It was really horrendous. Many of the guests could no longer bear to watch. Some of the guests who were faint hearted had already turned their heads to the side and were beginning to retch! The hall which was beautifully decorated earlier had now turned to a bloody and disgusting mess.THUD!Finally, after what felt like eternity, Charlotte Lane finally managed to sever the remaining bit of her flesh and her bloodied palm fell off to the ground with a thud.Then she directl
