The Legendary King Of War Returns 0100: An Odd Sense Of Familiarity
Jack chortled at the boy's words and stalked towards the cage. Even though the boy tried to get away, there was only little he could do. Jack caught him and dragged him out roughly. "Let me go! Daddy loves me the most! He will come for me! Let me go!" The boy didn't stop crying. PLAK! "Shut up, you little bastard!" Jack slapped him hard out of frustration. Noah's tender cheek immediately reddened and swollen. He couldn't make another sound out of fear and cried silently. Jack indifferently pulled out one of Noah's short hands. "Just how much pain will that bastard feel when I chop off your fingers... I guess we'll just have to find out." Noah shook his head frantically and cried louder as Jack raised his knife and lowered it speedily. SLASH! Noah screamed loudly. However, it wasn't because his finger was chopped off. It was because— "Gah!" Jack let out a strangled gasp as he staggered backwards, lifting up the bloody stump of his mutilated arm. His severed wrist

Kian held the man's gaze in the dimly lit room and shook his head slightly before raising his own blade. SWOOSH! Before the assassin could react, Kian moved fluidly, his presence flickering out of the dim light so the assassin couldn't discern his movement. When the assassin could finally react, he only felt clothes brushing against him and wielded his blades forward in an attempt to strike. CLING! Kian evaded the attacks and made his own move. The strike was so light and casual, the assassin only felt the cold steel strike him and didn't react in pain. When Kian stepped back into the light, the assassin's gaze focused on him with a strong killing intent but however, when he tried to move, his body did not obey. His insides coiled with an overwhelming pain, he turned dizzy and the blades fell out of his hands. Stumbling forward, he collapsed, panting heavily. Blood gushed out of the pierced hole in his back, splashing all over. "How is this possible?" Maddox staggere
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0102: Heads Rolled
Maddox laughed for some minutes before realizing something was wrong. Kian didn't look scared of his threats.Heck, the bastard was even smiling and looking calm. Has he killed so many people and has forgotten how it feels to be killed?"You... What are you smiling at? My men will soon be here! They will—"THUMP!THUMP!THUMP!Maddox was suddenly interrupted by the noise of a chopper. The lights illuminated around the dark environment, reflecting through the windows.Maddox looked around with a puzzled expression. What's going on? Kian chuckled and took a few steps backwards, his feet hammering on the floor.He gestured at a window with his bloody blade. "Why don't you look out of the window at your exceptional men?"Maddox knew at that moment that something was definitely wrong. Holding in his pain, he rushed to the nearest window with his bleeding severed arm.But as soon as he looked out, his face turned deathly pale and he froze. Outside the window, the lights from the chopper ill
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0103: Is That Death?
When the father and son got home, it was already late at night. Savannah was waiting in the sitting room, pacing to and fro. As soon as she heard the creak of the door, she rushed forward. Her restrained tears finally let loose as they walked in. She crouched and gripped Noah in a tight hug, crying bitterly. Each time her little boy was kidnapped, it felt like one part of her was ripped off painfully. The feeling was so dreadful she didn't think it was possible to feel anything more painful than it. "Mommy, don't cry," Noah patted her back gently. His familiar voice only made her cry harder. "Mommy look, I'm fine." Savannah pulled away and smothered his face with kisses. "My poor baby..." Although Noah was overwhelmed by her kisses, he understood that she was only being sensitive and stood quietly. After a while, when she had gotten Noah into bed, Savannah was finally calm. When she walked out of the room, Kian was sitting on the sofa, observing a cut on his palm. He
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0104: I Wanted A Daughter
Everyone in the hall felt a sense of mixed feelings. One couldn't decipher if it was fear, despair or horror. It felt like doomsday and the only question in all their hearts was, 'Is this the end?' "Are we all just going to wait here for death to come?" A member of the Gray's family questioned. Kian had promised them that on his parents' next death anniversary, he was going to make them all assemble and repent of their sins. After that, he was going to write inscriptions on his parents' tombstones with their blood. The deadline was fast approaching. It was almost time. Is this how they would all perish? "No," Thomas Sinclair slammed a palm on the desk. "I refuse to sit here and wait for my death sentence. There must be a way... There must be a way out." No matter what the problem is, there is always a solution. Although Thomas spoke resolutely, he was trembling. He was usually more calm and composed than his friend, Jonathan. But after how everything had turned out, he coul

Kian stroked his chin and gave Savannah a mischievous smile. "We can't change the fact that he is a boy but there is something that can be done.""Uh?" Savannah was confused for a minute but then she remembered what she had just mumbled and felt a bit embarrassed that he had heard her.Nothing could have prepared her for his next words. "How about we make another baby? A girl instead so you can have someone to go on fun rides with."Savannah's jaws dropped and she looked at him speechlessly. But she quickly regained her composure and gave him a cold glare."Don't talk so much nonsense. Who wants to have a baby with you?"Although she was looking at him as if she wanted to kill him, her ears and face were flushed red. And after she finished speaking, she turned around and fled, wanting to stay as far as possible from him.Kian shook his head and chuckled. He stepped behind Noah just as a red laser beam hit him.The boy removed his goggles and dropped the laser gun. Looking around, he

"Just trust me," Master Caldwell laughed like he wasn't about to commit the biggest error in the world.Savannah attempted to speak again when Kian suddenly pulled her back. "It's his painting. He knows what he's doing."She was momentarily distracted and her hold on the old man loosened.SPLATTER!The old man seized the opportunity and splashed the black paint on the canvas. Savannah's eyes widened in horror and she cringed, almost wanting to cry. The painting was definitely ruined now.But something surprising happened. When master Caldwell stepped back, the couple could see clearly that instead of staining or ruining the painting, the dark liquid slid off, leaving no blemish behind."What? How is this even possible? How..." Savannah was astonished.Master Caldwell's smile only grew wider. "Not only that... Watch this."He picked up an oil paint this time and smeared it on the surface of the painting but just like before, the oil also flowed down, leaving no stain behind."Unlike ot

"Other people value wealth but that tycoon is different," Kian gave them a reassuring smile. "What he cares about the most is his reputation and connections. If he invests the required quantity of Celestium in your gallery and the exhibition is a great success, his reputation will also skyrocket." Savannah's eyes sparkled with excitement and she rushed forward with an expression that showed that she was having a hard time controlling her emotions. "Can you really convince him to make the investment? Will he agree?" Kian stroked his chin and pretended to think about it for a minute before nodding, "I can give it a try. If he decides to invest or not is up to him." "There is still hope," Savannah's happiness was undeterred. If Kian could really convince that billionaire tycoon to invest Celestium in her gallery, then more paintings like Timeless Beauty could be produced. When that happens, it will take the art industry by storm and her gallery is bound to climb heights. Mast

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.
