The man appeared to be in his forties. Kieran glanced at the badge hanging at his chest — he worked in the transportation department, and his name was Caelan Tong.Upon hearing Kieran's inquiry, Caelan's body trembled involuntarily, and then he shook his head. "No. Nothing!"Kieran frowned — he could tell that this man certainly had something he wished to speak about, yet seemed somewhat fearful."If there's something, just tell me. With me here, nobody will dare do anything to you," Kieran seriously expressed.Caelan raised his head. At this very moment, he felt an inexplicable pressure originating from Kieran, as well as that formidable aura."Since you've decided to find me, don't hesitate anymore. If it's the inspector's responsibility, I will naturally do it!" Kieran continued speaking, noticing that he was still hesitating.He guessed that the other party must have some important matter.Taking a deep breath, Caelan seemed to have finally made up his mind, and he pulled out thre

Before Gareth could reply, he continued. "It means he probably noticed something wrong from the last time. And if he found out so quickly, there is only one possibility — someone among you betrayed us the moment he arrived!"Upon hearing this, Gareth's face changed instantaneously. Gradually, he started to grasp the situation. "You're making sense!"The moment Kieran arrived, he suspected that something was wrong. And this was the biggest problem. There wasn't a single Inspector who would become suspicious before even looking at any documents. There was only one possibility — someone had squealed, which led Kieran to doubt and even personally attend this matter."That Inspector — it's not just suspicion. I think he might have already gathered evidence, which is why he decided to come here suddenly. If he truly has evidence, you're done for!" Ryker continued to speak.Seeing Gareth's changing facial expressions, Ryker laughed and said, "However, there is one more solution."Gareth look

When Ryker heard Kieran's words, he didn't say a thing. He was shivering but did not dare to budge, fearing that he would be killed on the spot.Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in the Everlasting Martial Arts School's practice uniform entered from the main gate. He emitted an aura of high prestige. Entering the room and finding the floor dotted with corpses, his brows furrowed. Only when he saw Ryker lying limp next to Kieran did he breathe a sigh of relief."You, the Military Inspector, have come to my Everlasting Martial Arts School and committed murder. Isn't that inappropriate?" Leading off, Reid Fallow attempted to put Kieran on the defensive by labeling him as a transgressor.Kieran looked at him and slowly said, "Dean Reid, your aura is indeed impressive. Are you truly unaware, or just pretending? It's fine — you can continue to pretend. If you think I'm disrespecting the rules, feel free to take a stab at me."Kieran's calm demeanor caused Reid's face to subtly change.After g

Caught off guard, the manager stammered, "Yes, yes — they're all here. President Kane and Lord Pembroke are right over there," pointing toward the hotel entrance.Spotting Lord Pembroke and Victor Kane, Sebastian asked, "Where's Kieran?""Huh?" The manager stood there, dumbfounded. He had no idea who Kieran was.Shaking his head, Sebastian realized the manager simply didn't know who Kieran was, and walked on toward Lord Pembroke and Victor Kane."Sebastian, you're here too? It's my turn to host this time — you weren't even on the guest list," Lord Pembroke laughed as he saw him approach.Sebastian stayed impassive. "I'm not here to eat. I came to give you face."Lord Pembroke chuckled, but Sebastian's expression didn't change, leaving the exchange rather flat.At that, Victor Kane cheerfully changed the subject. "That kid Kieran seems to have come back from the war zone on urgent business, and now he's about to head out again — hence this sudden little gathering.""Can you believe it

As one of Aldric Fenn's personal guards — a man who had served him for over a century — this was the first time he had ever seen his master shake his head over a disciple's fate. He knew Aldric Fenn had taken only three personal disciples in all his years, and this was the third. The first two, talented as they were, had both met unexpected ends despite their relatively modest cultivation. This time, having taken Warren Griffin on the moment he reached nine stars, the guard could sense that Aldric Fenn didn't want anything to go wrong with this one.The phantom lingered a moment longer, shook its head once more, and slowly faded from where it stood. A personal guard moving on the Martial Saint's behalf meant a major conflict was brewing.After leaving the tower, Warren Griffin made straight for Westport City, the nearest city to the West Sea. From there, he went straight to the local branch of the Everlasting Martial Arts Hall. His arrival sent the entire Hall scrambling to greet him
