Kian watched Savannah turn away and walked off with his son. His fingers clenched by his side as he realized he had classified things as too simple. The suffering and humiliation she endured because of him couldn't be changed by his own will.
And the so-called compensation he offered just now was his own way of seeking peace of mind. If he didn't already have a son with her, it would be fine. But now, everything was too complicated. He got into his car and pondered on what to do. Then he took out a card from his pocket and handed it over to Wesley. "Find a way to give this card to Savannah and make sure she accepts it." "Yes sir," Wesley nodded and left the car promptly. He collected the car key and drove all alone to the capital prison in Valoria Prime city. If he wants to seek Savannah's forgiveness, he has to start with her parents. Her father had been framed because he had lost the protection of the Wilson's family. Saving him now might be a turning point. As soon as he got to the prison and parked his car, a middle-aged man with neatly combed hair and a chubby face walked up to him with two guards. At this hour, the warden, Jeff was supposed to be on a date but he received a call from his superiors at the last minute and has to wait for this young man who looks so reserved and haughty. His date was canceled and he couldn't help feeling resentful. But due to his relationship with his superiors, he feigned a smile and extended his hand to greet Kian. "I am Jeff, the warden of this prison. What brings you here, Mr Blackwood?" "Searching for someone," Kian gave him a curt reply calmly with his hands behind his back. Jeff awkwardly withdrew his hand with a hint of anger. In this prison, he is the boss! Even if someone has connections, they still have to be polite when coming here. This man with the last name Blackwood delayed his precious date and won't even give him face. How arrogant! "Well, Mr Blackwood, who have you come for?" His expression gradually turned cold and displeased. "Nathaniel Wilson." Upon hearing this name, Jeff's eyes widened and his brows knitted. There were more than five hundred prisoners in the entire prison and he could only remember a few of their names. Nathaniel Wilson happens to be one of those few. He was the second son of the Wilson's family and the former CEO of the family's company. He was later expelled by his family and arrested in connection to the deaths of some employees which had occurred while working on one of his projects. He was then imprisoned five years ago. On the day of his arrival, a certain big shot had paid Jeff $400,000 and asked him to make sure Nathaniel Wilson has a comfortable stay in the prison. So for the past five years, he had arranged for people to give Nathaniel a special treatment from time to time. Just two days ago, he had instructed them to brutally beat him up. Now he was lying on the floor of his cell with injuries all over his body. Jeff didn't expect this young man would actually request to see him. If he dares to offend that big shot, he won't be able to bear the consequences. Besides, he already accepted bribes from that person, so if he falls now, they will fall together. Under no circumstances will he allow this young man to see Nathaniel. So with a fake smile back on his face, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr Blackwood. That person is a high-risk prisoner specially assigned to our prison for supervision. No one is allowed to visit him." "I think you might have misunderstood my words," Kian looked at Jeff with a little, cold lopsided smile. "I'm not here to visit him. I am here to take him away." Jeff's smile disappeared and his face changed dramatically. "Mr Blackwood, this joke is too expensive! Nathaniel still has five more years left out of his ten-year sentence. How can he be released now?" If Nathaniel leaves that prison, he would not only lose his career but his life! "I don't care what connections you have, please leave now or don't blame me for being impolite!" The person who had tasked him to be in charge of Nathaniel was from the Gray's family, one of the two top families in the city. Compared to them, he would rather offend his superiors and as for this young man in front of him, he doesn't care! "You have..." Kian looked down at the clean cut wristwatch on his wrist. "—less than three minutes to bring Nathaniel Wilson to me." His tone was firm and left no room for questioning. "You are too shameless!" Jeff's face darkened and a sinister thought flashed in his mind. He pointed at Kian and shouted, "This man broke into the prison and tried to kidnap a prisoner. Arrest him for me!" At that instant, Jeff already had everything figured out. He was going to shift the blame and hand this man over to the Grays to deal with. He will understand what it means to mess with the wrong family next time and won't recklessly come to the prison again to take someone away. As the chief warden, it had become Jeff's instinct to detain people. Even if he could tell that this young man wasn't an ordinary person given the fact that he could make his superiors give him backdoor access to the prison and also drove an expensive car. So what? Such an unknown person can't be compared to the Gray's family. He couldn't be more powerful than them. Nathaniel was the one they had specifically asked him to take care of so he couldn't let this Mr Blackwood take him away. As for what would happen next, he didn't need to worry about it. CLICK! CLICK! The two guards standing beside Jeff raised their guns and aimed it at Kian.Latest Chapter
0388: The End
The explosion echoed throughout the hall like a clap of thunder. BOOM! The terrifying shockwave swept through the venue, rattling tables and sending countless spectators stumbling backward. Many instinctively covered their ears, their expressions filled with horror. THUD! THUD! THUD! Kian's feet scraped violently across the marble floor before he finally regained his balance. His chest churned. A metallic taste surged into his throat. "Pfft!" A mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips as his face turned deathly pale. His entire right arm trembled uncontrollably. Every movement sent sharp pain shooting through his bones. It felt as though the impact had fractured his arm. Across from him, the three Draven elders merely took two steps backward before stabilizing themselves. The difference was obvious. Ever since leaving the Southern Borders, Kian had never fought with his full strength. Today was the first time. Yet despite going all out, he had still been suppressed. These thr
0387: Cold-blooded Grandfather
Mortimer's lips parted the moment he entered the hall, but the first words out of his mouth weren't directed at anyone in particular."Where is Tobias?"David's expression stiffened. Without saying a word, he pointed toward the crumpled figure lying a few meters away.Mortimer's gaze followed his finger. The familiar black robe came into view. His footsteps halted."Tobias...?"For a brief second, he thought the young man was merely unconscious. But when he saw Tobias' bloodied body, torn robes, and deathly pale face, the color drained from his own.His pupils contracted violently. Impossible... His heart skipped a beat.Throughout the whole of Cascadia, Tobias had always stood at the pinnacle of martial arts. Countless experts had challenged him over the decades, yet none had ever managed to push him into a corner.So who... Who could reduce Tobias to such a miserable state?"...Is he dead?" Mortimer's voice trembled ever so slightly. "What happened?"For the first time in years, the
0386: Secret Collaboration

Some were drenched in sweat and others had even peed on themselves.The countdown was almost over and not one of their patriarchs have arrived. Are those old men really going to sacrifice them and let them die?Even the spectators had begun to whisper amongst themselves. It seems these members of the aristocratic families will just have to pay for their sins today.However, just as the clock's hand ticked past the ninth mark—BOOM!The heavy doors of the hall swung open with a loud crash. A crowd flooded the hall. At that moment, thousands of eyes turned towards the entrance.At the forefront of the crowd, four imposing figures were leading the way, striding in confidently.They had different stature but all shared a common aura, one that commanded respect.These four figures were the patr

Zeke's sycophantic behavior drew some displeasure from the other aristocratic families. Even though the Sterling's family isn't the top aristocratic family in Cascadia, they are still among the top eight families.And this Zeke is the heir apparent of the family. How could he act so submissive towards a commoner? His actions were a disgrace to their noble lineage!"Zeke, you—" his uncle wanted to speak and oppose his actions but another young man from the aristocratic Sinclair's family, who could no longer hold back his anger, shouted angrily."Zeke, as the rightful heir apparent of the Sterling's family, I must say, you are such a disgrace! How can—"SWOOSH!Before the young man could complete his statement, a sharp sound erupted and a shard of glass cut through the air, piercing his chest deeply!THUD!He clutched his chest and staggered backwards. Blood oozed through his fingers. "Argh!" His heart-wrenching cry filled the air."Continue screaming and it will pierce your heart," Ki
0384: Learn The Hard Way
"And the rest of you," his gaze casually swept over all the aristocratic families that had stepped forward earlier to support Vaughn Sinclair except the Hathaway's family who remained on their seats and the Harrington's family."If any of your patriarchs isn't present here, I want all of them to be here in ten minutes time!"What?!All the people who had been sighing in relief earlier were startled. Their hearts sank and they froze in shock."Orion," Grandfather Hathaway whispered to his grandson from where they were sitting. "Thank goodness I listened to you and didn't stand up earlier.""Grandfather, you should trust me more," Orion smirked smugly, patting himself.On the other side, Zeke Sterling looked up at the stage and met his grandfather's regretful gaze.The old man wasn't speaking but everything he wanted to say seemed to be written on his face.'Zeke, I should have listened to you earlier and sat back.'Although Zeke felt a bit sympathetic, his facial expression hardened an
