"Mom!" Savannah facepalmed. Do they need to do this now? Ida gave her a look that spelt, 'What? Let me speak.' RING! But before anyone could say a word, Savannah's phone rang. She lifted the phone and her smile disappeared when she saw the caller ID flashing on the phone screen. Without wanting to give away any sign, she forced a smile and excused herself, "I'll be right back. I have to answer this call... Mom, don't go overboard." "You..." Ida lifted her palm but Savannah already hurried away. "This silly child. Am I going to scare your husband off? I just have to let him know— Hey, where are you going?" She was surprised when Kian suddenly went after Savannah. Earlier when the latter raised her phone, he caught sight of the name on the screen. His brows furrowed as he wondered, 'What does the Wilson's family want now?' "That brat!" Ida snorted, oblivious to what was going on. "I haven't fully given away my daughter to him yet he can't stay away from her for a minute. How
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0081: Sit Back And Watch The Show
When Kian woke up, a small smile made its way to his lips as he stared straight at the beautiful chandelier in the room. He had wanted Ida and Nathaniel to occupy this master bedroom. But although Ida seemed excited with his offer, Nathaniel was reserved and quickly cautioned his wife, stating, 'Staying in a beautiful house was enough, they didn't have to stay in the most beautiful room.' Kian sat up on the sofa bed and stared at the king-size bed some distance away from him. His brows furrowed when he saw it was empty. He could hear a noise coming from the bathroom so he stood up. When he got to the doorway, Noah was in front of the sink, humming happily to himself as Savannah brushed his teeth. The little boy was the first person to notice his father's reflection in the mirror and shouted happily, "Daddy!" Kian smiled in response but his eyes darted to Savannah. They exchanged a look wordlessly and he rested against the door frame, watching them quietly. At that moment, K

The Wilson's family members led the couple to the top floor. Even the elevator was broken so they had to use the stairs. When they walked into the conference room, Oscar Gray was sitting with Edward, grandfather Wilson and the gallery's directors."Niece, you finally arrived!" Edward was the first person to notice their arrival and quickly stood to welcome them.As others followed suit, Oscar's eyes gleamed with a knowing glint when he saw Kian. He felt a hint of joy that Kian had followed Savannah just like he predicted."Niece, this is the gallery's vice president, Mr Garcia," Edward introduced with a tone of indulgence, making it seem like he was close with Savannah."He owns branches of art galleries abroad and took an interest in this gallery when he returned to settle home. If it wasn't because of his generous contributions, Radiance Gallery would have gone out of business long ago."Edward appeared grateful to Oscar as he spoke, making his words more convincing. "You flatter
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0083: Most Welcome To Leave
Savannah and Kian looked in the direction of the door as the remaining gallery's staff scuffled in slowly. The receptionist was in the front, followed by some other unfamiliar people.Oscar Gray reclined in his chair and watched as the staff looked at Savannah; their expressions were unreadable but there was an obvious sense of hostility as they quickly looked away.They didn't make any attempt to sit down and lingered by the door, making Savannah feel awkward. But she forced a smile and greeted them first."Hello, please have your seats."Instead of responding to her greeting or even courteously welcoming her, they remained silent.Savannah was taken aback by their cold attitude and couldn't help wondering if something was wrong. She watched them exchange glances and whisper under their breath before they finally began to sit. The tension in the room only got heavier with every slow scrape of a chair being pulled back.Kian arched a brow at this but remained silent, just observing f
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0084: Exciting News
"Hey! Who are you? How dare you talk so insensitively?" One of the staff yelled at Kian. The latter didn't seem to take offense to his words and simply sat up casually."I'm actually curious... Where exactly are you getting all this information seeing as you are all pretty quick to judge?"The smug expressions on the faces of the gallery's staff faltered and they hesitated to speak. Kian didn't miss the way they exchanged a look as if unsure of how to respond.Oscar watched quietly, a dark expression forming on his face slowly as the staff were unable to refute Kian's words. His eyes locked with one of the staff and he gave the man a cold glaring signal.The man quickly stepped up and stuttered, "It’s just... Everyone’s been talking. We’ve heard things.""Things? Or rumors?"Silence settled in the room as the staff shifted uncomfortably in their seats. Oscar's smirk was now barely noticeable as he gritted his teeth.Kian tapped his fingers on the table loudly, making some of the staff
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0085: A Counterfeit!
Kian arched his brow. Exciting news? He had just started to type a response when another message popped up.[There's a price on your head]His fingers froze on the screen and he cursed under his breath. How was this exciting?[General, I’ve received word that the Sinclairs and the Grays have colluded and placed a bounty on your head. Anyone who captures you alive and delivers you to them will be rewarded with a staggering sum of seventy billion dollars]Kian's gaze hardened, and his face turned icy as a cruel smirk twisted his lips. How exciting!Those senile, old bastards. They were even daring to use money they had stolen from his own family to try and assassinate him.They will get what is coming for them! If he didn't pile the city's cemetery with their corpses, then he was a bastard![Keep an eye on them]Wesley on the other side was puzzled when he read this message. What does the general mean by this? Are there no instructions on how to deal with those people?If the general ga
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0086: Have You Suddenly Gone Deaf?
When Savannah heard the receptionist's words, she trembled and her face turned pale. The receptionist wasn't particularly quiet so some of the guests heard her also. The word quickly spread around and glaring gazes were directed in Savannah's expression. "What a great gallery you have found for me this time! You even dared to deceive other people!" The old man on the stage sneered, aggravating the situation. At this point, someone switched on the cam and everyone could hear and see what was going on in the lobby on the big screen. Savannah gasped slightly when she saw the angry crowd. They were not fifty! They were hundreds! "Why don't you let us in and give us our refunds?!" "Selling fake oil paintings as original at a more expensive price than the original. Aren't you people scared of having your bladders rotten from guilt?!" "I bought so many paintings the last time thinking I struck gold but they turned out to be fake. Pay up!" "Radiance Gallery, you owe so much mo
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0087: We'll Sue You To Court!
The debts left by the Wilson's family for Savannah to pay amounted to billions of dollars. At that moment, she was as cold as ice, realizing she would never be able to repay such an amount in a lifetime. Oscar who was being helped off the floor concealed his smile as he looked at the people yelling and demanding for refunds. This was the third condition he had given the Wilson's family. Every valuable piece in the gallery was to be swapped for a fake and sold at a cheap price that would attract a large crowd. Naturally, these people wouldn't want to admit that they bought forged paintings at a befitting price. They were greedy and wanted to make their own gain, thus demanding to be refunded the original amount the real painting is worth. There was no evidence to prove they purchased the paintings at a lower price anyway as every financial record has been doctored leaving behind only a trail of astronomical bills. As Oscar was commending himself secretly, Savannah suddenly

But Sophia was wiser. Her eyebrows had wrinkled beautifully as her eyes darted to Kian. The host seemed to have seen something on the machine's screen that knocked the breath out of his lungs."Master Franklin, this is not a hotel card!" Sophia looked up when the host finally spoke. He was trembling as he held the POS machine forward."This is really a bank card! It is an ATM card and the machine has a full display of its balance!"A hush fell upon the room. The guests who had been jeering at Kian and Wesley. Franklin and Charlotte were also taken aback.But Franklin wasn't too surprised. Instead, he asked casually, "How much exactly is in the card? Nine thousand dollars or nine dollars?"The host swallowed hard and shook his head. "One billion! Nine zeros in total!"As soon as the host's words fell, a wave of silence washed over the hall again. Everyone stared at the host blankly, stupefied beyond belief.Only Sophia wasn't as surprised as others. She arched her brow at Kian. Althoug
0280: Dig Their Own Grave Eagerly
The nouveau riche was grinning from ear to ear as he hurried forward to present the card to Franklin Faye. The latter collected the card and examined it closely. Then he glanced up at the card in the host's hands. Apart from the slightly different black design, there was really no other difference at all!A cruel smirk graced his lips. The cards were nearly identical! One could easily see they were almost the same. One could almost think that the nouveau riche's card was the original one while Kian's card was a fake! Haha!"You bloody fool!," He snickered at Kian scornfully. "Do you think this function is child's play? How dare you try to pull such a trick?"Charlotte Lane saw what was happening and was livid. Her face turned red and she glared at Kian. "Guards, kick him out of here!"The guests brimmed with excitement and immediately fell into a chatter of gossip. "I knew it! He looks so ordinary. How could he possibly afford four hundred million dollars?""Ridiculous! That kind of
0279: Identical Cards
As soon as the host finished speaking, Franklin's cold voice rang out, "Pay up! Don't you dare try to run now!"Charlotte nodded in agreement to his words.The host snapped out of his daze and packed up the necklace. Then he brought the POS machine forward, walking towards Kian unsteadily."Sir, I... need... to swipe your card to... complete the payment," he stuttered.Everyone in the room was focused on him and Kian. It made the former feel a bit nervous. If this masked man is indeed unable to pay, he may have to bear the brunt of Charlotte's anger later.Franklin and Charlotte had a similar cold but smug smirk on their faces. Subtly, they waved their hands in the air.To other people around, this was a simple gesture but Sophia was quick to notice the armed men in black that quickly sealed off the entrance and exit. They were undoubtedly guards from the Lane and Faye's families respectively.They looked as if they were ready to pounce out anytime Kian dared to make a funny move. It w
0278: Leave Your Limbs Behind
These people just throw money around like its water! Meanwhile, after hearing Franklin Faye's words, Charlotte was relieved. It seems she was worried for nothing. Thinking of the current bidding price of the necklace, her heart raced with excitement. Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that the useless necklace Franklin gave her would actually be worth this much."You fool! Can you see now that young master Franklin shouldn't be belittled?" Tiffany snorted mockingly at Kian. It was clear whose side she had chosen. "Think twice next time before you can try to show off in front of young master Frank.""What an ignorant fool!" One of the other guests also chimed in. "He foolishly messed with the Lane and Faye's families. He's done for! There is no escape route from this today.""What are you saying? He won't see the light of day.""How pitiful! It seems he isn't from around here. He should have stayed in his lane.""..."The banquet hall quickly turned noisy with the g
0277: Two Can Play
Could this masked man really be capable of providing a hundred million dollars on spot? Who is he? Where is he from? Who even invited him? Thinking of all these, Charlotte Lane was really hesitant and doubtful. Without bothering herself, she quickly made a decision. This masked stranger is probably just stirring up trouble. He probably can't afford a hundred million dollars not to mention buying a second hand necklace for that amount.At that moment, Franklin Faye also snapped back to reality. His face changed different shades of green, purple and finally red as he glared at Kian coldly.If looks could kill, Kian would have been killed a hundred times from the way Franklin was looking at him resentfully! 'Who the heck is this bastard?' Franklin gritted. Just like Charlotte, he also believes Kian is just stirring up trouble. A hundred million dollars for a necklace? What a joke!But Franklin was also feeling humiliated. Even if this masked bastard wants to raise the bidding price, c
0276: I Give Up
At this point, the bidding price had already reached thirty five million dollars. "I'll add another million to make it thirty six million," Master Hank announced with a somber face before looking up at Sophia and Franklin."But if you two bid further, I'll withdraw automatically."Franklin crossed his leg casually and shook his head with a smile. "But I'll add another five hundred thousand dollars to make it thirty six million, five hundred dollars."Meanwhile, Sophia didn't even look up as she informed them, "I'll make it forty million dollars."Franklin's eyes widened in surprise at her words. Master Hank's facial expression darkened and he clasped his hands together."Fine, I give up," He stepped back from the bidding war. As much as he wanted to collaborate with the Harrington's family, he couldn't possibly waste so much money. And he couldn't compete with these two. One has a powerful yet obscure background, the other has a similarly powerful background. Although regretful, Mast
0275: Even If You Are The Last Bidder...
Actually, he had purposely stood up earlier and raised the price. His words were meant to intentionally provoke others and it worked. The price of the necklace skyrocketed by several millions.This way Charlotte Lane will make more money than she estimated on her necklace and the best part was that he doesn't even have to spend a dime to win her favour.The nouveau riche grinned at himself proudly and patted himself subtly. He was a freaking genius!The other guests immediately understood his intentions. While cursing him inwardly, they also regretted not thinking about his tactic fast. If they had acted first, they would have been the ones noticed by Charlotte!But there was no use crying over spilled milk now. They also couldn't back down now. The nouveau riche had already stolen the lead, they had no choice but to play along and continue raising the bidding price.After all, the necklace held a strategic value. Even if they don't win it in the end, they still had to raise the price
0274: Final Price
"Eight hundred thousand dollars!" The husband of the socialite raised his placard and directly increased the price. This action however got the other bidders excited. "Eight hundred and Fifty thousand dollars!""Nine hundred thousand dollars!""One million dollars!""..."Among the guests, Tiffany leaned on Wesley again and advised him, "Don't be fooled by the host. A used jewelry is a used jewelry. Why would one have to buy it at such an expensive price when you could easily get a brand new customized one at a cheaper price?"Tiffany shook her head at the guests excitedly bidding away. "Tsk... Tsk... These people really have money to waste. I would have missed this show if I stayed at home. Thankfully, I came."Wesley had seized the opportunity to create some distance between them. He was really uncomfortable with the way this woman was constantly clinging to him. He almost couldn't breathe because of her perfume.Thinking of this, Wesley looked in Kian's direction. He was startled
0273: Eterna Amor
The first item put up for bidding was only meant to excite the guests and warm them up. The host and the other organizers certainly didn't expect the value of the customized cufflinks to skyrocket. The guests were so excited that the customized cufflinks which were only worth thirty thousand dollars were sold at an astonishing price of fifty five thousand dollars to a businessman. "Sold!" As soon as the host announced this, the hammer fell to indicate that the item was off sale. Sitting amongst the first row designated for special guests was the star of the show herself, Charlotte. When she saw the price the customized cufflinks were sold for, her face lit up with a bright smile. The atmosphere in the banquet hall was particularly lively at the moment. The host quickly seized the opportunity and put up the remaining items for bidding. Second item sold! Third item sold! Fourth item sold! Fifth item sold! One after the other, the items auctioned were sold at a dozen tim
