The Resurgence Of The War King Chapter 1
"Roderick, I have a birthday gift for you."In the large living room of the Santos family, Clara Watson, Roderick's mother-in-law, said icily as she placed a package on the table before them.Next to her was a young, handsome man, Roderick Holmes, who was dressed in casual wear and had an apron on.Roderick's eyes lit up in surprise as he unwrapped the package with excitement. His gaze fell on a file inside the box, and he happily checked it out.After he flipped through it, the excitement on his face wiped away when he found out it was a divorce file."What is this?" he was stupefied by what he saw.Clara's face flushed with disgust. "Can't you see what it is? Today will be the end of the marriage between you and my daughter. Hurry up and sign the file and stop asking me unnecessary questions."Roderick paused, trying to understand this better, but he was unable to fathom it."Felicia and I have been happily married for two years, and we both love each other. Why do we have to divorc

As he was about to slide his phone back into his pocket, suddenly, a lady bumped into him. Roderick raised his head and saw Bella Roy, Felicia's secretary."Isn't it too early for you to be drowning in thoughts because you got dumped like the trash that you are?"Roderick didn't bother to give Bella a second glance as he ignored her and walked away.Bella was pained but headed into the living room with annoyance.Meanwhile, as soon as Roderick stepped out of the Santos Villa, a convoy of exotic and military cars hurriedly halted before him.An army of soldiers led by Tony Hoggs, a cold-looking lieutenant, along with a group of men dressed in well-tailored suits led by Paul Ashley, the chairman of Ace Company, jumped down from the vehicles.They all rushed towards Roderick and fell to their knees. "We honor you, Lord Roderick! Even on our last breath, we will never cease to serve you, The Invincible War King!"Roderick's face frowned as he stared at them all before turning to Tony, to

All the cars drove off in that direction.House of Majesty is a grand estate built in the most exclusive area of Glacia City, an area that is almost unreachable even for the big names of the city.Roderick wasn't just a great War King; he had also acquired so much wealth that he could afford whatever he wished regardless of how costly they might be.In a few moments, the cars were already close to the estate. Then, a large mansion was seen from afar, surrounded by lush gardens. Undoubtedly, the estate is a paradise on earth. From the modern architectural style to the ambience was all perfect. As they drove closer, Roderick was surprised to see, in front of his estate, four elderly men kneeling before expensive cars with their heads bowed.They all wore expensive suits, and their skin glowing and looking so rich. They all held heavy bowls of gifts in their hands as they bowed.Roderick's face frowned as he wondered who they were.The convoy of cars drove past them into the estate whil

It was already 3:55 PM when a black Mercedes Benz parked at Lily Garden.This part of the city is very calm and the quietest of the whole Glacia City. However, people only visit the beautiful garden occasionally.Inside the car were two young and pretty ladies—Kate Bolton and her secretary, Christina Smith.Kate was sitting in the passenger seat. Her demeanor was calm and classy. Her delicate skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were bright and shiny, sparkling like gemstones.Christina, who was occupying the driver's seat, cleared her throat, "Miss Bolton, you're so lucky to be finally meeting the miracle doctor after the long search."Kate smiled slightly, "It's indeed great luck. I appreciate your support throughout this long time.""That's not necessary, Miss Bolton. But I'm curious; out of all places, why did a doctor with such ability choose Lily Garden as a meeting place? I was expecting an invitation to a big hospital or a VIP lounge for a classy lady like you." Christina t

Kate was caught in the middle of the matter as she was at a loss for words.Christina's eyes bulged with anger. "Miss Bolton, my observation is accurate! I knew from the first sight that this dude was a con man. Now, he has proven me right!"Kate remained silent when Christina asked again, "Let's think about it. What correlation does dyspnea have with touching a patient's sensitive areas? That's a perfectly clear sign that he is nothing but a trickster!"Even though Christina's points seemed thoughtful, Kate had a different view on the matter. Moreover, Roderick had just informed her that the longer the sickness stayed in her body, the more dangerous it became.Then she said to her secretary, "Mr. Holmes seems to be responsible beyond such a thing. Also, you should know I won't spare him if it turns out that he only wanted to take advantage."Christina's face remained frowned as she was unsatisfied.This time, Kate turned to Roderick and said, "Please, you can continue with the treatm

Kate remained unfazed as she watched them come closer. They all had their faces covered with masks, except for their leader, who disguised his face with a scary tattoo.They were all holding all sorts of deadly weapons like baseball bats, crowbars, and the like. They were all alert and ready to attack in a call."How dare you cross my path?" Kate's voice had already turned cold and stern.The tattooed guy smirked and replied, "Miss Bolton, this is Glacia City, not River's, where you have so many bodyguards to protect you."Even though he had a valid point, Kate was never backing down. She took a step forward, her face tightened in anger. Then, she said, "If that's your thought. You have failed woefully.Kate was about to dial a number on her phone when the tattooed guy mocked, "Don't tell me you want to make a call. Haha! Have you forgotten how long it would take them to get to Lily Garden?"Kate's teeth gritted. "What exactly do you want?" she asked, her eyes turning red with anger.

Roderick was dumbfounded and speechless. He never expected the Ice Queen of River City to be such a shameless flirt.Undeniably, Kate's beauty could make a man lose his composure and act inappropriately. She's blessed with an effortlessly charming aura that could keep a crowd drooling.Not even Felicia's beauty could compare to hers. If Felicia's beauty is a breeze, Kate's beauty is a hurricane.Roderick exhaled and said, "Miss Bolton, you don't have to worry about returning the favor. Let's just keep things in business."Kate smiled slightly and pinched her nose. She never expected Roderick to be able to escape her sultry gaze.For that reason, Kate concluded in her mind that Roderick was beyond being human. Only an immortal being could resist such an alluring offer."No problem, Mr. Holmes. Things are still under control," Kate smiled softly.Roderick maintained his composure, trying his best to avoid the stare of the heavenly seductress.Meanwhile, Christina's mind was burning with

It was time for the Ace Company Charity dinner in the evening. A very large crowd was gathered before a massive building called The Prestige. This included onlookers who had come to feast their eyes and the media present to cover the grand entrance of the celebrities.The Prestige building exudes elegance and class, from its modern architectural style to its breathtaking appearance.This building is one of the Ace Company's grand properties that commands a lot of respect.Just then, a black BMW drove into the parking lot, and a slender, pretty leg of a lady was seen stepping out of the car.This caught the attention of the crowd, and they were astounded when they saw the lady's full figure next to the car.She was wearing a black evening dress with sleeves designed in silver.The dress looked perfect on her body as it accentuated her curves. Indeed, she was blessed with beauty that turned heads."What a beauty!""She looks like she stepped out of a painting.""Oh my, isn't she the CEO

Roderick was mesmerized as he looked at the display from where he sat. Not that he didn't have the resources to get such a display for himself, but he was surprised that Kate took his birthday so personally and to this extent.Despite finding out about his birthday late, she still took the time to prepare such a bewildering present.Roderick understood the stress and money the display must have cost. Then he said to her, "Miss Bolton, we met just yesterday. Don't you think this present is too extravagant for me to accept?"Kate’s eyes lit up instantly. "Come on, Mr. Holmes. Nothing is too expensive for you, as long as it’s for you."She walked briskly to Roderick and asked, "Be honest with me, Mr. Holmes. Didn’t you like what you saw? How about I order more sets of all the accessories right away?"Roderick was mind-blown and left speechless as Kate said all that. He couldn’t fathom what was before him, yet she was talking about ordering more. Isn’t that too much?He slowly waved his h

The next day, Roderick was in his room at the House of Majesty when he saw a message pop up on his phone.He hadn't paid attention to his phone since last night. Then, he slowly picked up the phone and gazed at the screen. He was surprised to see that it was a message from Kate."Good morning, Mr. Holmes. I found out that you left the dinner party early last night and went to an exclusive medicinal plant auction. Possibly, you might need more rare roots. I have a source that can be of help."Reading this message, Roderick's interest was instantly piqued. He couldn't think of anything else at that moment but how to reach the source Kate was talking about.After getting the Dragon's Breath root last night, he had been thinking about where to find the rest of the items he needed.It had never crossed his mind that Kate could have a source to help him out. This was because he thought the aged calestrus he received from the lady previously was an item kept by Bolton's forefathers, given ho

They were all extremely dumbfounded as they stared at the stone in Roderick's hand.Edmund began to wonder how it happened that it was only Roderick who was able to know that the stone was precious. Given how old and faded the stone was, no one could ever think that it was a sunstone.He was so sure of this due to the price tag attached to the stone by the auctioneer.Also, the auctioneer only referred to the item as a Regal Stone to give it some honor. Little did he know that it was the expensive sunstone.Edmund was very sure that the auctioneer never had an idea of the value he sold off for a penny.If he had known that it was a sunstone, he would never have sold it for such an amount.This time, Edmund was blaming the auctioneer inwardly for being ignorant of the item he brought up for sale. He had been in search of the rare stone for a very long time.This made the celebrity herbalist regret not purchasing the stone, even though the auctioneer personally offered it to him.The mo
Chapter 36
After the auctioneer presented the Regal Stone before the crowd, Roderick secretly took his time to delve into his inner knowledge to find out about the stone's usefulness.Realizing what it was worth, he instantly went for it.Since the auction was now over, the crowd began to leave the hall one after another.Tony was walking closely behind his boss as they headed to the parking lot.Upon reaching their car, the Dragon's Breath root was safely stowed away.Roderick was about to get into the car when he heard contemptuous laughter nearby.The War King never cared about it, and he was about to enter his car when he heard a voice ask, "Isn't it surprising that an ant like you was sent to challenge me?"Instantly, Roderick paused as the voice was very familiar. Raising his head, he was surprised to see Edmund Ash and his entourage approaching.Roderick wondered what the man wanted and what he meant by his words."Would you willingly tell me who sent you, or do you want me to teach you s

The celebrity herbalist mocked Roderick and called him broke after he acquired the Astragalus root without anyone competing with him, which made him think highly of himself.This time around, the War King fooled him by making absurdly high bids against him until he spent a staggering sum of fifty million dollars on a highly toxic rare root.The fact that Edmund was only concerned about public validation made him so blind that he failed to notice he had just wasted millions.The crowd was still engaged in private discussions about how Edmund spent such a huge amount of money on a rare root without batting an eyelid.In the end, they all concluded that the celebrity herbalist knew more about the usefulness of the rare roots that were unknown to them for splurging such a breathtaking amount on it.At that moment, Edmund was in his seat, feeling like a king as his entourage and the crowd showered praises on him.From that point on, he managed to secure a prominent position in the hall abo
Chapter 34
The crowd was trying hard to fathom if Roderick understood what forty million dollars was.They believed that if he did, he wouldn't mention it so casually.Spending a whopping forty million dollars on a rare root is beyond what can be discussed.While they were all in the midst of this shock, their gaze shifted to Edmund Ash. They were all waiting to see what his next move would be.Meanwhile, the celebrity herbalist's head was buzzing with anger as he stared at Roderick. He couldn't understand why the fool was usually interested in everything he bids for.Aside from needing the rare root, the respect and honor surrounding him in the hall earlier meant a lot to him.He just couldn't lose to Roderick again this time.Then, he said to Roderick with a smug smile, "Kid, are you sure you’re ready for this?"Roderick scoffed and replied nonchalantly, "Is that question really meant for me? I think you’re supposed to ask yourself that."The crowd's faces widened in surprise. They couldn't un

Roderick's calm response made Edmund feel skeptical about his view of the young man.Taking a second thought about it, he concluded that Roderick was only trying to save face from embarrassment in public with his response.Then, Edmund said to him with a smug expression, "There's nothing wrong with accepting defeat. Knowing your place now would only save you from deeper embarrassment."However, Roderick didn't say a thing in reply as he didn't even have the time to prove his worth to them.The crowd misunderstood his silence as acceptance of defeat, which was why he never bothered to argue with Edmund."This is the best you can do for yourself. Competing with Master Ash is like sending yourself to an early grave.""I commend you for being reasonable enough to back down after realizing Master Ash is way beyond your league."Edmund's entourage was making continuous mocking comments at Roderick, but his gaze remained bland as everything they were saying had nothing to do with him.As the
Chapter 32
The crowd was still in doubt about Roderick's purchasing power, given how ordinarily he was dressed. Furthermore, because of his ridiculous increase in bidding, they felt it was all a bluff.However, since he would be making payment for the item now, they couldn't wait to mock him after his payment was declined.Edmund Ash and his entourage's attention was on Roderick, too. They were all waiting for him to be gravely embarrassed.Just then, the auctioneer's assistant came over to Roderick with a wireless credit card machine."Mr. Holmes, you can make your payment for the Dragon's Breath root now," he said calmly.Roderick nodded slowly and then signaled Tony to make the payment.The lieutenant bowed slightly to his boss and then brought out a sleek black card, which caught everyone's attention.Their eyes widened in shock, leaving them confused about what comment to make. Even though most of them had no idea about anything concerning the card, they couldn't understand why they felt it

Not only was Edmund staring coldly at Roderick, but his entourage was included as well.The reading on their faces said nothing but that they wished they could grab Roderick by the neck right away and teach him a lesson."Master Ash, please give the order. This kid looks so ripe for some punishment," one of Edmund's entourage said in rage.However, the celebrity herbalist had something else in mind. A smug smile appeared on his face as he responded to his boys, "I think the kid is longing for attention. Let's see how long he can survive competing with me."Roderick didn't even look fazed or bothered by their stares. Instead, he was waiting for what they had planned next.The crowd was already gossiping about how Roderick was endangering his life by competing with the celebrity herbalist.Edmund turned his smug face away from Roderick and continued the bid."Ten million dollars!"Roderick's voice followed next."Fifteen million dollars."The crowd's faces were wide in shock. They wonde
