The Legendary King Of War Returns 0082: Misjudged?
The Wilson's family members led the couple to the top floor. Even the elevator was broken so they had to use the stairs. When they walked into the conference room, Oscar Gray was sitting with Edward, grandfather Wilson and the gallery's directors."Niece, you finally arrived!" Edward was the first person to notice their arrival and quickly stood to welcome them.As others followed suit, Oscar's eyes gleamed with a knowing glint when he saw Kian. He felt a hint of joy that Kian had followed Savannah just like he predicted."Niece, this is the gallery's vice president, Mr Garcia," Edward introduced with a tone of indulgence, making it seem like he was close with Savannah."He owns branches of art galleries abroad and took an interest in this gallery when he returned to settle home. If it wasn't because of his generous contributions, Radiance Gallery would have gone out of business long ago."Edward appeared grateful to Oscar as he spoke, making his words more convincing. "You flatter
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0083: Most Welcome To Leave
Savannah and Kian looked in the direction of the door as the remaining gallery's staff scuffled in slowly. The receptionist was in the front, followed by some other unfamiliar people.Oscar Gray reclined in his chair and watched as the staff looked at Savannah; their expressions were unreadable but there was an obvious sense of hostility as they quickly looked away.They didn't make any attempt to sit down and lingered by the door, making Savannah feel awkward. But she forced a smile and greeted them first."Hello, please have your seats."Instead of responding to her greeting or even courteously welcoming her, they remained silent.Savannah was taken aback by their cold attitude and couldn't help wondering if something was wrong. She watched them exchange glances and whisper under their breath before they finally began to sit. The tension in the room only got heavier with every slow scrape of a chair being pulled back.Kian arched a brow at this but remained silent, just observing f
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0084: Exciting News
"Hey! Who are you? How dare you talk so insensitively?" One of the staff yelled at Kian. The latter didn't seem to take offense to his words and simply sat up casually."I'm actually curious... Where exactly are you getting all this information seeing as you are all pretty quick to judge?"The smug expressions on the faces of the gallery's staff faltered and they hesitated to speak. Kian didn't miss the way they exchanged a look as if unsure of how to respond.Oscar watched quietly, a dark expression forming on his face slowly as the staff were unable to refute Kian's words. His eyes locked with one of the staff and he gave the man a cold glaring signal.The man quickly stepped up and stuttered, "It’s just... Everyone’s been talking. We’ve heard things.""Things? Or rumors?"Silence settled in the room as the staff shifted uncomfortably in their seats. Oscar's smirk was now barely noticeable as he gritted his teeth.Kian tapped his fingers on the table loudly, making some of the staff
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0085: A Counterfeit!
Kian arched his brow. Exciting news? He had just started to type a response when another message popped up.[There's a price on your head]His fingers froze on the screen and he cursed under his breath. How was this exciting?[General, I’ve received word that the Sinclairs and the Grays have colluded and placed a bounty on your head. Anyone who captures you alive and delivers you to them will be rewarded with a staggering sum of seventy billion dollars]Kian's gaze hardened, and his face turned icy as a cruel smirk twisted his lips. How exciting!Those senile, old bastards. They were even daring to use money they had stolen from his own family to try and assassinate him.They will get what is coming for them! If he didn't pile the city's cemetery with their corpses, then he was a bastard![Keep an eye on them]Wesley on the other side was puzzled when he read this message. What does the general mean by this? Are there no instructions on how to deal with those people?If the general ga
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0086: Have You Suddenly Gone Deaf?
When Savannah heard the receptionist's words, she trembled and her face turned pale. The receptionist wasn't particularly quiet so some of the guests heard her also. The word quickly spread around and glaring gazes were directed in Savannah's expression. "What a great gallery you have found for me this time! You even dared to deceive other people!" The old man on the stage sneered, aggravating the situation. At this point, someone switched on the cam and everyone could hear and see what was going on in the lobby on the big screen. Savannah gasped slightly when she saw the angry crowd. They were not fifty! They were hundreds! "Why don't you let us in and give us our refunds?!" "Selling fake oil paintings as original at a more expensive price than the original. Aren't you people scared of having your bladders rotten from guilt?!" "I bought so many paintings the last time thinking I struck gold but they turned out to be fake. Pay up!" "Radiance Gallery, you owe so much mo
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0087: We'll Sue You To Court!
The debts left by the Wilson's family for Savannah to pay amounted to billions of dollars. At that moment, she was as cold as ice, realizing she would never be able to repay such an amount in a lifetime. Oscar who was being helped off the floor concealed his smile as he looked at the people yelling and demanding for refunds. This was the third condition he had given the Wilson's family. Every valuable piece in the gallery was to be swapped for a fake and sold at a cheap price that would attract a large crowd. Naturally, these people wouldn't want to admit that they bought forged paintings at a befitting price. They were greedy and wanted to make their own gain, thus demanding to be refunded the original amount the real painting is worth. There was no evidence to prove they purchased the paintings at a lower price anyway as every financial record has been doctored leaving behind only a trail of astronomical bills. As Oscar was commending himself secretly, Savannah suddenly
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0088: I'll Call You Dad!
Stunned silence settled over the hall as the crowds looked at each other in surprise. Did they hear him right? He wants to buy out all their companies? Haha! Every one of them present there were collectors for different distinguished art firms. These firms collaborated with prominent galleries and museums, not only in Valoria country but around the world. Now this nobody... A mere spokesman was talking so arrogantly, blatantly declaring that he was going to buy out their firms like it was a piece of cake. How ridiculous! "Bwahaha!" Laughter erupted in the hall as the crowd held their stomachs and looked at Kian like they were staring at a fool. To them, he was indeed foolish! "What did you say? You are going to acquire all our firms? How much do you get paid for being that man's spokesman?" Someone from the crowd snickered at Kian. "Wait... Is it because of the peanuts you are paid from that job that causes you to run off your mouth like this?" "If wishes were horses, ev
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0089: An Empty Shell
No one dared to refute Kian's words or dared to stay any longer. With their hearts in their throats, they tore the receipts and fled, their tails between their legs. In the twinkling of an eye, the hall was silent, only a trail of shredded papers was visible. Kian turned around to see Savannah and others looking at him in a daze. He rubbed his nose helplessly and almost facepalmed. Now he has to make up an explanation for his actions. Why didn't he think of this before acting so recklessly in front of them? "You... What just... How did you do that?" Savannah could barely construct a complete sentence. Still rubbing his nose, Kian explained without batting an eye, "Remember, my boss is an investor. He tasked me with finding more companies for him to invest into. So I simply recommended those firms to him." "Oh." It made sense. Only someone like that mysterious tycoon would act so recklessly and buy out those firms without any investigation. He was wealthy so he could aff

Ambrose Darkmore trembled all over. He raised his head with the last strength he could muster and locked eyes with the person who spoke. His eyes shook when he saw who it was—Roland Harrington.

0326: First In History!
At the ring, Ambrose Darkmore stared blankly at the chaos happening above. What's going on? How could this be happening? He hasn't done anything wrong, so why was he being shunned and labeled as a disgrace?!"It wasn't me! I didn’t do anything! I didn’t—" He roared, desperate to make one last attempt at fixing his ruined reputation.SWOOSH!SWISH!WHOOSH!...All he received in response was a barrage of shoes, water bottles, drink bottles, snacks, and other objects raining down on him."Boo!!!!" Some spectators even ridiculed him. They all witnessed the truth of what happened, didn’t they? There was such undeniable evidence against him, yet he was still trying to prove his innocence!

0325: Renounce
"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.

"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

0322: Should Never Have Underestimated Him
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
0321: Could He Be Putting On An Act?
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
0320: Crying Over Spilled Milk

0319: Their Beloved Hero
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
