Kian originally intended to use his identity as the new leader of the ancient martial arts alliance to get clues about those forces behind the aristocratic Blackwood's family. But now, if his status rises the more Roland Harrington puts more effort into his gestures, he will undoubtedly attract more attention and reach greater heights.In the blink of an eye, three days have already passed, and it was finally the day of the fashion show. Roland Harrington arrived once again at their suite.Kian could barely contain his curiosity and excitement. What kind of people would those mysterious forces be? He had so many questions but no possible answer. He could only hope his curiosity would be satisfied at the show.The second district in the imperial capital was owned and ruled by the aristocratic Sinclair's family. It was located in the heart of the central Valoria region. The economy might lag behind the Blackwood's District and it may be smaller than the first, largest district in the

Kian turned his gaze away temporarily and looked past David Blackwood. There were several younger members of the aristocratic Blackwood's family behind the middle-aged man. Each one had a haughty expression and exuded an arrogant air. Kian easily circled out familiar faces among them.But as he assessed these people, an odd, pricking feeling suddenly rose in him. A feeling of being watched, as if someone was scrutinizing him closely.His brows arched, and his eyes darted in the direction the intense stare was coming from. Standing some meters away from the members of the aristocratic Blackwood's family was a young man.He was standing, arms crossed over chest with an expression of indifference. Just as Kian was assessing the members of the aristocratic Blackwood's family, he was also scrutinizing Kian. He appeared to be the same age as Kian. Unlike the flashy haircuts of the other young masters, he had a clean, low cut, and he was dressed in an all black robe. The moment Kian set h

When Kian saw the shocked expression on Roland's face, he arched his brows and adjusted his clothes. With a composed and relaxed look, he asked, "Roland, you really didn't think that guy could hurt me, did you?"A look of surprise appeared on Roland's face. He initially thought the masked man was just putting on a brave front to save his face but looking at him closely, he really seems unfazed. It was as if the scene earlier never happened. Roland Harrington cleared his throat and forced a smile. "How could that be? Of course not, master. I have faith in you."Inwardly, he was overjoyed. He hadn't misjudged the masked man! But then, he was also puzzled. If this masked man really isn't injured and he is part of those mysterious forces, why didn't he confront Tobias earlier? After all, he had the ability to retaliate right then and there.Kian seemed to have sensed his confusion because a mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes as he grinned. "Do you not know the most satisfying way to

It took a little effort from the host Kate to get the excited crowd to keep calm, and then she continued, "Now I declare the 10th International Fashion Show officially open!"The crowd cheered again but not loudly this time so her voice could echo through, "Please, let's all welcome contestant number one, the Celestè Couture to present their work, Swan of the Night!"As soon as Kate made the announcement, all lights suddenly went out. The curtains were drawn. The entire venue was plunged into total darkness.The audience began to murmur amongst themselves, but in the very next moment, the hundred meter long runway in the center of the venue lit up!The specially designed runway lit with a beautiful royal blue glow. It suddenly looked like a trail of royal blue tracks in the middle of darkness.An ancient style of music played out softly from the background, and five tall, beautiful models gracefully stepped onto the runway."Wow!" The audience gasped at their dreamy appearances. They
