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

However, Oscar quickly composed his expression and forced a smile, "Are you referring to the legendary artist, Zane Moreau?"Zane Moreau was a famous artist whose vibrant paintings have been showcased in prestigious galleries in Valoria country, even extending globally currently.His paintings had won several awards in international art contests and some of his artworks were proclaimed widely to have been sold for several millions.Although he was a hot topic in the art industry, Kian doesn't consider artists like him who only rose to fame in the past few years as legendary.He couldn't be compared to Jasper Caldwell whose artworks have been showcased in prominent museums in the world or Isla Monroe who has been holding a high record in the art industry for years.If Zane Moreau met these people, he still had to bow before them and call them masters. But Kian didn't voice out his thoughts and simply listened to their conversation."Yes, he is the one I am talking about," Savannah smil

Thomas Sinclair and Jonathan Gray exchanged a look. They didn't expect that little bastard would have also offended Maddox. Very good! This time, he won't be able to escape. "Maddox, we won't pry into private affairs but you should know he has some connections with Colonel Marcus who is a great commander in the Central Valoria region," Jonathan Gray explained somberly. "Yes," Thomas Sinclair nodded in affirmation. "He is also a spokesman of the billionaire tycoon that caused a wave in our city sometime ago. Besides, he is not so ordinary himself. He has some skills." Maddox stopped twirling the knife around suddenly, making the other Sinclair's family scared. They gasped as he looked up and smiled eerily. "Are you two trying to give me a warning?" Jonathan and Thomas exchanged a look again. This man was quirky and a bit scary. But they forced a smile on their faces to hide their feelings. "We are just trying to inform you that the brat might be a bit difficult to deal wit
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0092: Noise Pollution
That was exactly why Savannah thought of him first when she needed help. Why was he acting so obnoxiously then? Seeing his attitude, Savannah was disappointed. But because she was the desperate one here and the one in need of help, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile. "Master Zane, I'm still grateful that you honored my invitation indicating that you are willing to work with me." Zane remained unmoved by her sentimental words and blatantly asked her, "How much are you willing to pay?" Savannah was taken aback by his straightforwardness but she quickly regained her composure. "Our gallery has faced some setbacks and is currently in a difficult spot. We have to start from the scratch and really don't have a lot. But I hope you'll consider our previous relationship," she paused, watching his expression. Seeing the sneer on his face, she quickly explained, "Let's do this. Mr Zane, we will pay four million dollars for the artworks you are willing to let us feature in the
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0093: So-Called Legendary Artist
Suddenly slammed with those abusive words, Zane's face turned extremely ugly and he was quiet for a minute. But he had a thick skin because he quickly regained his composure and pointed at Kian. "Who are you referring to? Are you talking to me?" He was obviously stunned senseless. With his high prestige in Valoria Prime, a low-life like Kian dared to confront him. Even Savannah still had to lower herself before him. Who the heck is this riffraff?! "Get lost!" Kian didn't want to waste time with such a despicable person whose brain was obviously faulty as he doesn't think before speaking. Zane's outstretched finger clenched and he trembled angrily. He threw a cold gaze at Savannah and snickered, "If you don't want to work with me, just say! Why invite me here to be subjected to this kind of insult? Is this the kind of attitude your employees have? When I step out of this place today, I'll make sure no artist collaborates with your gallery!" Savannah panicked and shook her hea
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0094: I'll Chop Off Your Fingers!
Zane was just about to speak when he was suddenly caught off guard by the kick that sent him sprawling on the floor again. He writhed in pain and looked at his master, not understanding what was going on. Shouldn't Kian be the one receiving the beating instead? Master Caldwell sneered after seeing the clueless look on his face. This fool was bound to die of ignorance! As a matter of fact, Master Caldwell was well acquainted with the top echelons of Valoria country and naturally knew who Kian was. Besides, the latter once saved his life. He was fearful and grateful to this king of war so how could he watch his former student act so disrespectful to him? "From today henceforth," Master Caldwell gave Zane a cold glare that sent a bone chilling feeling down his spines. "Our relationship is severed. I am no longer your master." Zane's eyes widened and he struggled to hold his pain as he scrambled to his feet to plead. He knew the consequences of being disowned. It was unimaginable!
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0095: He's As Good As Dead
Savannah smiled and read through the contract agreement in her hands again, still in disbelief. Master Caldwell had really agreed to work with her gallery. He promised to provide as many artworks as she wanted and even told her a secret. He had other artworks which have never been revealed to the public. They were going to cause a buzz once they were displayed in the gallery during the exhibition. And all that was free. Savannah was giddy with joy as she held the document carefully, treating it like it was fragile. She was so lost in thoughts, she didn't notice when Kian returned to the office. He and Oscar had accompanied the old man out earlier. "Are you that happy?" Kian tapped her desk to grab her attention. She looked up at him and her smile widened. Dropping the document, she walked round the table to him, "I've never felt this happy for a long time." Before Kian knew what was happening, she hugged him and told him sincerely, "Thank you... It was all because of you."

"Aren't you afraid that this old man will suddenly turn on you all also?!"

"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!"

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.

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

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.

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.
