"Uncle, I don't understand. If they were so powerful, surely they should have been able to wipe everyone out with just a strike," Kian stroked his chin.The meal on the table was completely forgotten. However, Wesley was continuously eating to his heart content. He might be intrigued by Kian and Augustus' conversation but he was famished."Yes, they should," Augustus nodded, looking confused himself. "But they couldn't. It was almost like a bunch of kids wielding and playing around with heavily dangerous weapons but having no clue what to do with them. Just like a group of amateur fighters."Augustus presented an assessment that was gathered from his years of investigation. He looked up at Kian and grinned slightly, "Then, although it was difficult and we lost lives, we managed to take them down in the end."Recollecting the scene all those years, Augustus' grin widened. Taking on so many high level martial artists who were around the same rank as him back then was a great achievement

"I must say Kian, you have really grown. I'm so proud of you," Augustus grinned as he patted Kian's back. "Back then, I used to fantasize with Doug on how we were going to treat you when you were born. I was looking forward to a particular moment. The time you would wet your bed and I would try to rescue you from your parents as a good godfather."Kian's jaws almost dropped at Augustus' words. Wesley on the other hand choked, trying to hold back his laughter."Cough! Cough!"He used to think the general was the most flawless person in the world but just thinking that the general might have also wet the bed when he was younger was hilarious."Ahem," Kian cleared his throat and stroked his nose, feeling embarrassed. "Uncle, what are you saying? I don't have any memories of wetting the bed or my pants.""Look at you," Augustus laughed. "How would you remember? You must have been so young then. Listen, Doug used to wet his pants when we were younger so I expect nothing less from you."Ki

[SAVANNAH]Kian's fingers hovered over the caller ID that was displaying on his phone's screen. He opened up the call record and realized there were two calls from his wife just some hours ago.The last call seemed to have gone on for some minutes. Kian's fingers flew to his lips and he facepalmed. "My goodness, what did you say?" He whispered to himself. He couldn't recall anything from his conversation with Savannah but he must have been very drunk when he answered her call.He was scared of what he might have said to her but he couldn't even remember what he said. Not only did he forget to give her a call when he arrived in the imperial capital city, he also spoke to her while he was a drunken mess."Kian, what did you do?" He slapped himself on the face. Just as he was pondering, the voice came again.'I hope you are assailed with loads of hangovers tomorrow!'He jolted up like he had been electrocuted. Realization dawned on him and his eyes widened. Now he knows why he felt that

When Kian and Wesley got out of the sect, the town was still bustling with activities although it was still very early in the morning. "We'll head to Garrett first. I remember he told me he runs a hotel. We could stay there first and then also ask him about the wedding date," Kian suggested as they walked into the town. Wesley nodded without objections and quickly followed his lead. Meanwhile, in a dimly lit alley, there were several men armed with weapons like knives, guns and even clubs. They were all huddled in one corner and all seemed to be asleep except a few of them.Among them, a man wrapped with thick gauze all over was assisted to the front by another man. The bandaged man was the thug, Jackal. The one Cyprus had beaten up, leaving him broken at the food street earlier that day.With all the bandages wrapped around him like a mummy, Jackal was barely recognizable and he looked ridiculous. His dark eyes watched straight out of the alley without blinking. They were filled wi

Wesley and Kian exchanged a look. The former got weird vibes from Axel's sinister gaze. 'Huh, general, I think I need saving.'Axel didn't miss a step forward as he continued, "First, the soft moans of a woman, then the pleasurable groans of a man and lastly, the helpless cries of someone in despair.""Hahaha!" Axel's men threw their heads back and laughed. They all understood his words. Their boss seems to have found his new boy toy.Jackal's lips curled into a frown as he looked at the men laughing. Axel's words sounded weird for some reason. The pleasurable groans of a man?"Ah," He gasped softly when realization dawned on him. His eyes narrowed in disgust. He knew Axel had a reputation for being lustful but he never knew he had this dirty nature.But then Jackal shrugged. It doesn't matter as long as Axel keeps his own end of the deal. As long as he makes these two bastards pay for what they have done, it doesn't matter even if he imprisons Wesley to be his boy toy.Axel's eyes wr
