Magistrate Cody had to part ways with Kian and his family when they got into the conference center as he had to attend to other guests. So Kian naturally led the way like he was familiar with the environment.

The hall was noisy as there were a lot of people hanging around. The hall itself was decorated with the finest and most elegant designs.

All of the guests in the hall were also wealthy tycoons, socialites and other influential people who were well known all over Valoria Prime. This grand scene caused Savannah and her mother to feel anxious.

They walked cautiously, afraid of even touching something to avoid breaking it as they wouldn't be able to afford it. Kian smiled when he noticed their nervousness.

"Relax. It's nothing. Don't overthink this," He gave Savannah's palm a gentle, reassuring squeeze.

That was when she realized she had been holding his hand all along. Her face flushed slightly and she quickly snatched her hand away while giving him a nod.

Even if she w

    Just as the soldiers moved to apprehend Kian and his family, a fierce voice came from behind, "I dare you to take another step!" Cody walked over and the soldiers exchanged a look. They stepped back, appearing to be hesitant. Cody might not hold any power or authority in the army but he was still a powerful magistrate. They couldn't act so rashly towards him. Gabriel Steel arched a brow and sneered at Cody, "I was wondering why these people could act so recklessly. Turns out, they had the protection of the Magistrate." "What are you trying to insinuate?" Cody squinted coldly. Gabriel Steel held an important position in the army and was doing well but his rank was still lower than that of Cody's. But they were not in the same industry. Military and civilian were two different worlds so Micheal was under Cody's rule and was not intimidated. The mindset of most militants was that people who fought on the battlefields all day, killed enemies and shed blood were the powerful

    "You vile human who only reason with his lower part. What do you take me for?" Savannah was irritated. Her harsh words wiped off the smug smile on Anthony Gray's face. "Dare to touch me and see if I won't cripple that thing in between your thighs!" "You..." Anthony seethed and wanted to charge forward. How dare this slut insult him? What or who gave her the courage to speak like this? She wasn't this fearless in the past. "Savannah..." Ida trembled fearfully and gently pulled her daughter. If they offended these people, they won't be able to pay the price till they are buried six feet below the ground! "Hey," Jonathan Gray cautioned his son just before he descended on Savannah and gestured for him to move backwards. Turning to others, he informed them, "We have a private matter to settle. Leave for the main hall immediately." The underlying meaning in his words was obvious. Kian and his family were going to be severely dealt with, privately! No one would even know how they will

    "Do you know how your father looked when I chopped off his legs?" Orlando gave Kian a cruel grin. He was in a good mood. The Montgomery's family which was the leading force in the underground world was currently shaken and distracted because someone had dared to lay a hand on their beloved godson and even left him half dead! Well, leaving someone unable to reproduce for the rest of his life was practically killing the person. Orlando was certain his time was drawing closer and he would soon be able to usurp Montgomery's family. He just needed to find the one who was daring enough to go against Montgomery’s family. Yes, find him and get him on his side. That was the plan. "No, uncle, why don't we tell him how pitiful his father was when he watched his wife's dead body hanging to the fan with her tongue pushed out and saliva trickling just like this," Anthony laughed and made a gesture with his tongue. "Did you know there was a rumor that your mother was pregnant from an affa

    "As for me," Jonathan Gray raised a trembling finger. "I will personally make you feel hell on earth. You will beg for death when I—" Before he could finish speaking, a loud thud resounded in the room as a figure flew into the room and crashed heavily on the ground. There was silence in the room as everyone looked over. Eyes widened when they realized who it was. Gabriel Steel was lying on the floor, battered and bloody in a completely miserable state. It was a huge contrast to the man who had a face off with Magistrate Cody earlier. This Gabriel Steel was almost unrecognizable. The hearts of the Grays and Sinclairs families chilled at this scene. "Colonel Marcus!" Gabriel wobbled and got on his knees. His voice attracted people's attention to the huge man at the door. The man had distinct facial features. There was a long scar that trailed on his stern face but did nothing to diminish his attractiveness. He had striking blonde short hair and a heavily built physique that i

    When Kian walked out of the lobby, his steps faltered. His eyes shook slightly as he noticed Savannah pacing back and forth anxiously. His lips curled up in a faint smile and he wondered, 'Is she worried about me?'Ever since they met each other again, Savannah has been nothing but hostile to him. Seeing the usually cold woman pacing around worriedly stirred a strange feeling in Kian's heart.As he stood quietly and watched her with a small smile, she suddenly looked up and their eyes met. He didn't miss the way her chest rose as she heaved a sigh of relief."Are you worried about me?" He walked over to her with a knowing look, but she snorted and turned her face away."Don't misunderstand me. It's quite noisy and rowdy inside. I had to step out. It was just too stuffy."Though her voice was cold and she fanned her face as if to show that the only reason she had come outside was because it was stuffy, Kian noticed the tips of her ears turning red.He decided not to pursue the matter f

    "Hey, lower your voice. Don't get us into trouble," Someone from the group cautioned the person that had just spoken."Hasn't Langston always been stealing the resources of Luminary Films? He wants them out of business. Besides, that company hasn't produced any award-winning movies since it was established. They don't have any notable artistes.""Hush... Don't say that if you don't know the full story. I heard Langston wanted to buy out the company but the CEO refused and even offended him. Since then, he has been stealing away all their resources and even artistes. The old geezer even had his way with some of the female actresses and those who dared to refuse him, he tarnished their images causing Luminary Films to plunge into despair and debts.""That old man, Langston, is really a bastard. Even though he's on his third wife, he's slept with almost all his female artistes. No wonder they’re always in the limelight and at the peak."Kian's frown deepened. He wasn't knowledgeable abou

    "Kian," Savannah stood up and looked down at his hand anxiously. Although Langston was a despicable man, his influence was not lesser than that of the Grays and Sinclairs. It was unwise to go against him like this. She tugged at his sleeve, silently pleading with him to let go. Reluctantly, Kian released his grip. "Ow!" Langston howled in pain, clutching his wrist. He could barely feel his hand. This bastard was looking a bit scrawny but his grip was surprisingly so strong. Besides, Savannah was standing so close to him. "Hey! Whose family son are you? How dare you act so audaciously?" One tycoon banged his palm on the table and pointed at Kian. Langston, who was still nursing his injured wrist, demanded, "Do you know him?" His eyes bore into Savannah. "He..." Savannah looked at Kian and was lost of words. She appreciated Kian stepping in to defend her, but she wasn't ready to reveal their relationship to these people. "She's my woman," Kian pulled her closer, leaving no

    Outside the Imperial Summit Pavilion, Jasmine hurried to the waiting SUV, her smile wide and triumphant. As she slid into the back seat, her family leaned in, eager for news. "Elder sister, were you able to report them successfully?" Penelope's eyes were gleaming with anticipation "What do you expect?" Jasmine's smile widened, full of pride. "Turns out, my former coursemate is now a Major in the military." "Wow. That bastard Kian won’t stand a chance against such power," Penelope clapped excitedly. "Exactly," Jasmine's eyes sparkled. "Magistrate Cody tried to protect them, but Gabriel confronted him head-on. He said even if the president himself showed up, he wouldn’t be able to save those low lives." Grandfather Wilson and Edward Wilson exchanged pleased looks, their faces brightening at her words. Sensing their satisfaction, she continued, her voice tinged with mock regret. "Even the Grays and Sinclairs showed up. Seems like that scum Kian offended them too. I really can’t un

    "Aren't you afraid that this old man will suddenly turn on you all also?!" Kian shouted in desperation.The faces of the three elders contorted into a cruel grin, and one of them retorted, "We are more concerned about seeing you dead first!"Then, the four elders ignored him completely and launched their attacks relentlessly! SWISH! Ambrose Darkmore thrusted his sword forward. His attack was so fierce that his blade pierced right through Kian's left shoulder!But at that same time, another elder was attacking Kian from behind. Kian's eyes curved in a mysterious manner as he reached out and—A strange force seemed to erupt from the masked figure, gripping Ambrose Darkmore's wrist so tightly that he couldn't move!His sharp blade glinted in the light, almost blinding one's eyes. Suddenly, the hair of the elder attacking from behind stood on the end as he screamed in horror, "No!"But before his voice could fade, the sword that had seemingly pierced Kian's left shoulder drove into his

    "No! It's not what you are all thinking. You've got me wrong! It wasn't me!" Ambrose Darkmore's loud roar traveled across the square. "I swear I didn’t kill him!"Ambrose Darkmore's voice was filled with extreme anger and deep grievance. Though he was known in the capital city as a 'Sword Maniac', he always wore a flowing robe and presented himself with an air of elegance and grace.But now, with his disheveled grey hair and bloodshot eyes, he emanated a fierce and violent aura. He completely lost any trace of his usual refined demeanor."You've all got it wrong! I didn’t kill Silas Nightingale!" He was extremely frustrated as he shouted severally, but no one responded to him. The spectators gave him strange expressions that portrayed all their thoughts.'Do you think we are fools?!'Thousands of people had witnessed the entire scene and watched him split Silas Nightingale's brain open with his long sword!Now, the delusional man was screaming and claiming that he wasn't the one who d

    The square was filled with silence. Ambrose Darkmore's long sword struck down heavily just as Silas Nightingale fell unconscious, his life hanging on a thread.The sharp blade gleamed menacingly, poised to sever Kian's head in one strike. But the latter suddenly moved. His movement was so swift in that split second that Ambrose Darkmore couldn't catch up.CLANG!Kian held the tip of the sword, not caring about the damage it did to his fingers.

    At this time, Kian had already staggered to the edge of the ring when he was hit with another fierce strike from Ambrose Darkmore. The blade slashed through his back and tore through his robe, revealing a trail of bloody line."Ugh!" He spewed a mouthful of blood and breathed laboriously. He was already critically injured. Seeing him in this state, Silas Nightingale was overjoyed and charged forward. "Keep it up! He's already at the end of his wits!"Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders were also delighted. They prepared to strike again and give Kian the final blow. Feeling the terrifying gusts of wind swirling around him, Kian arched a bloodied eyebrow. After being attacked for the nth time, he was now utterly battered. This act has been on for too long, it's time to put an end to it.So this time, he stood firm on the spot and didn't dodge. Panting heavily, he waited for Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders to close in on him. To the spectators, it appeared

    The central square was in a somber atmosphere. The crowd's emotions stirred because of Roland. But Wesley, who the show was for, simply looked at the middle-aged man speechlessly.He couldn't help but ponder, 'Did the general hire this old man to play this dramatic role and add more fuel to the fire? Why is he performing so enthusiastically?'In the ring, Kian, who was supposedly beaten to the brink of death, felt his face twitch severally. 'Who is this person that's acting so dramatic? I didn’t hire anyone...'Even the facial expressions of Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders in the ring changed. They threw Roland grim looks and scoffed,"Why are you shouting so dramatically? Are you really so sad?!"If one didn't know better, they would have mistook Kieran for Roland's first son with the way he was wailing.Everyone knows the presence of Harrington's family at the square today was to recruit powerful martial artists for their family, but even if Kieran dies at

    BANG!BANG!BANG!Just as Kian was about to tumble out of the ring in a bloody mess, Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders struck him again. Two of them dragged him back to the center of the ring, leaving behind a large trail of blood, which made the hearts of the spectators bleed even more.They didn't stop there and immediately pounced on him. Within the few minutes that they began their assault, Kian was already drenched in blood. He looked motionless and utterly defeated.Meanwhile, at the area that had been designated for the Dark Legion sect, which was now occupied by the representatives of the aristocratic Harrington's family, Roland Harrington was seething furiouslyHe was on the edge and visibly frustrated. At any rate, the masked man will obviously not survive! How could he lose a gem when he just found it? His eyes instinctively trailed from the ring to the section in the tent of the Sacred Shadow sect where Wesley was sitting. At this point, he couldn

    Grimm and the other two elders who opposed the proposal had displeased and grim expressions on their faces. But Silas Nightingale paid them no attention. In his own opinion, the ten elders that chose to support his proposal and stand on his side were enough to completely defeat this masked man."Attack with no mercy!" Silas' eyes turned icy as he shouted fiercely. His words were a clear command to the other elders.Kill with no mercy!BOOM!Silas emanated a powerful murderous aura that was enough to make people tremble as he stormed towards Kian. He moved at such a lightning speed people could barely see his feet. Just then, something unexpected happened. Grimm had unsheathed his long sword and rushed down to the ring. The two other elders had also followed him down."Two of you, attack!" Grimm commanded in a low tone, brandishing his sword in the air.SWISH!The long blade surged forward and slashed at the throat of the nearest elder. The sound of slicing and piercing through fles

    Ambrose Darkmore thought long and hard before speaking. Eventually, he raised his grim face and said, "I agree with Silas' proposal."As soon as he spoke, a member of the Divine Sword sect immediately countered his decision, "Master, this is not right. It is inappropriate to—"Ambrose Darkmore's face darkened, and he snapped back in an icy tone without even allowing the man to complete his words, "Shut up! You have no right to question my decision!"The man's face turned red and shrunk back into his seat. He dared not speak anymore. Just then, another elder raised his hand. "I agree with Silas' proposal. It is time to elect a new leader for the alliance."Another elder with a huge scar nodded and raised his head. The scar on his face widened as he looked down at the ring. "Kieran is powerful. His injuries are certainly not that serious. They shouldn't affect him much.""Silas, I agree.""I also agree.""..."Each of the elders spoke one after the other, and soon, the voting results w

    "Silas, why go to such lengths?" Roland Harrington suddenly stepped forward with a dark face. "The alliance does need a new leader but why the sudden rush?"His words filled the hearts of many of Kian's new supporters with joy. They didn't expect that someone from the aristocratic Harrington's family would suddenly speak up for Kian.Not just someone. The patriarch of the family himself. At least, the aristocratic family also saw the injustice unfolding. Meanwhile, in the tent allocated to the members of the Sacred Shadow sect, Wesley had a strange expression on his face as he looked straight ahead at the middle-aged man who had just spoken up.It was strange indeed. The aristocratic Harrington's family was actually pleading for the general?!If the old man from the aristocratic Harrington's family knew that the person he was trying to plead for and win over was Kian Blackwood, the same person most if not all the aristocratic families wanted to eliminate...Would he stand there tall
