Soon, the manager led them all to the private room. He personally attended to them and served every dish himself, handling the whole affair with visible trepidation."Let me introduce you — this is Caelan, the new director of the Military Department's office here in Ironhaven City. Going forward, I'll be counting on you all to look out for him," Kieran said, making the introductions.Caelan hurried to greet them properly, and introductions went around the table.Victor Kane turned to Kieran. "So you came to inspect the office and just... took Gareth Xu down yourself?""He's dead," Kieran said simply.Everyone gasped and turned to look at him, baffled. Seeing their curious looks, Kieran stopped holding back and laid it all out — how the local office had been colluding with the Everlasting Martial Arts Hall, and how it had ended in several deaths.When they heard that he'd also killed Fu Shan and Reid Fallow, the three of them were shaken to their core. They suddenly felt like they shou

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
Chapter 287
In the courtyard, Caelan stood frozen, completely stunned by what he'd just witnessed. Three punches had killed an eight-star fighter, and his mind had simply gone blank.For a moment he doubted whether Reid had truly been a grandmaster at all. But reason told him otherwise — even if Reid had only recently broken through to eight stars, he had undeniably been a genuine grandmaster.When he looked toward Kieran, fear crept into his eyes. Earlier, talking with Kieran, he'd found him rather mild-mannered — nothing like the hardened, vicious look most frontline soldiers carried. But in this moment, that impression collapsed entirely.He now felt that Kieran was the most terrifying person he had ever met — more frightening than any mutant beast.Only when Kieran approached did Caelan finally snap out of it, stammering, "Kie— Lord Kieran!"Kieran clapped him on the shoulder. "Even off the front line, a soldier should carry himself like one. If this is enough to rattle you, you're not fit fo

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

He abruptly shifted his gaze to the men by the truck. Those men were responsible for transportation and were involved in this as well. The whistle-blower had to be one of them.Caelan, standing amidst the crowd, was visibly scared. He had thought that Kieran would have some other method to deal with Gareth. He hadn't expected him to march directly here to confront them head-on. Now he had to face not just Gareth, but also the many members of the Everlasting Martial Arts School.Nevertheless, he couldn't conceal himself any longer. Since he had chosen to betray, he had to side with Kieran.So he turned to Gareth and said, "Director Gareth, I can't agree with what you are doing. Every piece of gear could be a frontline soldier's life. They're defending the rear while we, in the rear, are engaged in such disgraceful activities. It's intolerable!"He may not have been well-versed in morality, but he did understand that such actions were unacceptable. If everyone acted this way, everyone w

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
