In a family hall, people from the two top families Gray and Sinclair had gathered for a meeting. Some people assembled to give the reports from their investigations. "Greetings... My men have gathered news that the Timeless series paintings have garnered a lot of orders from many influential people all over Valoria country.""Yes... People from the capital Valoria region have begun to demand for it," another affirmed the previous information. "Yes... I also have news that word has gotten out of Valoria and orders have begun to flow in from overseas," Another stepped up. "Old master," the last man standing came forward with a veiled painting and a smug smile. "I spent a lot to acquire this painting from a third party."Thomas Sinclair and Jonathan Gray exchanged a happy look. The latter collected the veiled painting and tore off its veil. His eyes widened as he caressed its surface. It was indeed a beauty to behold."How much did it cost?" Thomas Sinclair also arched a brow in surpr
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0120: Give Them A Grand Welcome
Mortimer Blackwood was having lunch with two of his grandchildren. The ones he had called out from the meeting the other day. They were Christopher and Charlotte Blackwood, the children of Mortimer's fourth son whom he secretly had outside marriage years ago. The dining room was filled with silence as they ate peacefully. Christopher occasionally exchanged a look with his sister. His grandfather suddenly called them to dine with him which was surprising and suspicious. The old man hasn't been in a good mood since the last meeting the other day. They also haven't been able to contact Master Theo which made his mood worsen. But today, he suddenly asked them to eat with him. In the past, didn't the old man only dine with Keaton, the heir apparent and their second cousin, Kyle? But Keaton was terribly sick and could no longer accompany their grandfather. Kyle on the other hand had a fallout with the old man due to the previous incident. "Have you two heard about the Celestium min
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0121: Not Something To Easily Covet
On a luxurious golf course in Cascadia, three old men walked together, talking and laughing heartily as they made their way to the starting point of their game. A young caddy followed closely behind, assisting them with their equipment."Alright old men," The tallest amongst them tipped his hat when they got to the first tee. "Let's see who still has a good swing in them.""Don't be so confident, old man Carrington. I've been practicing," The second old man chuckled as he selected a driver from his bag.He took a practice swing, the sound of the club slicing the air sharp and controlled. The young caddy handed him the ball, and he stepped up to the tee, positioning it with care.His friends watched as he pulled back for a full, powerful swing. The ball soared into the clear blue sky, sailing far down the fairway before landing smoothly, rolling for several more yards.With a smirk, he turned to his friends. "Beat that."Next up was the patriarch of Windsor. He was the eldest of the th
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0122: The Arrival Of The Imperial Families
It was late afternoon in Valoria Prime and the airport was usually busy at this hour. But surprisingly, it was quiet. Besides some airport staff moving around, there were no signs of passengers which was strange.However, if one looked further, one would be able to see the reason. Outside the airport, a hundred heavily armed soldiers were positioned in two straight-line formations, creating an imposing barrier.One could also see the armored cars parked nearby. The atmosphere was filled with a solemn tension. It seems like a very important person or rather people were visiting Valoria Prime today."Listen up!" a uniformed man barked, catching the attention of the other soldiers. "The heirs and representatives of the five greatest imperial families from Cascadia will arrive in eight minutes!"The soldiers exchanged a look while waiting for the next instruction which came very quickly, "We have received orders from above to ensure their safety! Block the airport entrance and exit until

"Long time no see Zeke Sterling.""Oh! Young master Christopher and Miss Charlotte are here too...""..."Orion greeted them with a warm smile. Some people responded while others like the Blackwoods gave him a cold shoulder. "Aiyo!" Orion clutched his chest playfully. "Why are you acting so cold? Aren't we all here to discuss investing in Radiance Gallery? Who knows? We might be partners in the future. Let's be more amiable."Some people scoffed. What investment? Hypocrite! They all knew what their goal in Valoria Prime was and contrary to what Orion is saying, they will be competitors not partners so it was better not to get friendly with the enemy!Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly turned cold, Orion didn't continue speaking and kept quiet with a sly smile dancing on his lips.As the members of the Imperial families all descended and proceeded to leave, the commander suddenly glanced at Cody who was still standing still without making any attempt to welcome the imperial famil
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0124: The Sinclairs Really Lost Face
The armed uniformed men surrounded everyone. Their heavy guns were pointed at all their heads!CLICK!The soldiers acted quickly and also cocked their guns, aiming back and waiting for instructions to make a move. But they were completely outnumbered by the other uniformed men.The faces of all the imperial families changed and they looked horrified. At this moment, Cody's smile had completely disappeared and he no longer needed to put on an act."So what if you are an heir apparent of the central region aristocratic family?" He asked Thorne with an aloof facial expression. "This is Valoria Prime and I am the county magistrate. Here, my words are the rules!"THUD!Taking a step forward, Cody's eyes narrowed as he added, ''Even if you are the governor of the Valoria Central region, in this city, you'd better watch your behavior. Apologize now, or I'll personally see to it that they take you away!''"Magistrate Cody!" This time, Thorne's uncle, Vaughn, completely lost it. "Are you seeki
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0125: Master Theo Of The Underworld Emperors
Seeing that Thorne refused to take his hand, Cody retracted his outstretched palm and sighed, "I apologize, young master. I am just a small county magistrate whereas you are a mighty imperial heir apparent. I am not worthy of your handshake." What the heck! Everyone's faces twitched and they cursed at him inwardly. Does this man have a limit to his shamelessness? Cody on the other hand didn't give a damn about their thoughts. He deftly changed the topic and gestured, "Let's not waste anymore time. I have prepared my humble home for you all. Let's leave." Everyone exchanged a look but no one attempted to move. Cody arched a brow but acted oblivious to their reluctance. With a happy smile, he told them, "I know you have all come to Valoria Prime this time for the sole purpose of investing in Radiance gallery so I negotiated with the president of the gallery beforehand. I have booked the top floor of the Imperial restaurant so you can meet with the president of the gallery tonig
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0126: Building Castles In The Air
"Hello young masters and mistresses. It's my pleasure to meet you all," Master Theo lifted his head and gave them a smile that seemed harmless but filled them with fear.No one responded to his greetings. They were partially still reeling in shock. The Blackwoods actually managed to invite someone like Theo. No wonder Charlotte had spoken so confidently earlier.With someone like master Theo behind them who was the leader of the underworld emperors and also managed to eliminate a mighty general in the past with just five strikes, the Blackwoods didn't have to fear facing Kian.Master Theo could easily take Kian down with just one move. He could also force Kian to reveal the true identity of the mysterious tycoon behind the Celestium mine.But then, the other imperial families exchanged looks. With master Theo assisting the Blackwoods, how would they compete with them for the Celestium mine later?The other imperial families sighed secretly. Their heads suddenly ached thinking of this.

0329: The Favored Heir Apparent
But then Kian thought about it. Now that he is in the imperial capital, his ultimate goal is to uproot those forces behind the aristocratic Blackwood's family that are hiding in the dark.To make headway, he would need a weighty position in the capital. The position of the ancient martial arts alliance leader fits that perfectly. And if things get too complicated, he could just hand over the affairs of the alliance to Augustus Vane. With this thought in mind, Kian's lips curved beneath his mask delightfully. He no longer hesitated. His pale face gained some colors as he clasped his hands in gratitude to the crowd's cheers and bowed.His humble acceptance made the crowd go wild and cheered even louder. He raised his head and stumbled off the ring.As soon as he got out, Rolad Harrington rushed over with a group of some other members and quickly surrounded him."Congratulations, alliance leader!" Roland Harrington was beaming with a smile as he clasped his hands once again. "Thank yo
0328: First In History!
Upon hearing the spectators' jeers and mockery, the faces of the remaining elders in the ring turned darker than a gloomy cloud. They all had the same thoughts in their minds.This is all because of this old rascal Grimm. Why did he suddenly withdraw from the contest without a reason?!The position of the ancient martial arts alliance leader was something they all wanted to vie for, although not through unscrupulous methods like Silas Nightingale and his allies.But now, with the public's current opinion, how could they possibly fight for it? If someone were to truly defeat all of them and become the leader, then they would have to endure the disdain of the public's disdain for the rest of their lives!"I also withdraw from the contest!" Another female elder who had been in alliance with Grimm and was fighting back Silas Nightingale's allies earlier raised her voice just before jumping out of the ring."I won't compete either!" Another elder declared in agreement to her words and got
0327: Shortsighted
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. The latter scoffed and shrugged calmly, "Don't give me that look. I'm just making a reasonable expression."'Damn it!' Ambrose Darkmore was so furious his chest was about to burst open. His frustration surged so that his heart ached more. He spat out a mouthful of blood helplessly before—THUD!His lifeless body collapsed on the ground with a dull thump. The sword held up his motionless body in a gory sight.The martial arts prodigy that had made a name as the 'Sword Maniac' in the martial arts community of the imperial capital was literally driven to death not by his sword but rage!The masked figure raised his head in the direction where the members of the aristocratic Harrington's family were occupying and arched his eyebrows at Roland Harrington. What a great assistance!This patriarch of
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! He is truly shameless to the core!In the ring, Ambrose Darkmore's face turned ashen once more. He froze in a spot, not even trying to dodge. He just let the objects hit him.At that moment, he was filled with an overwhelming sense of despair. The reputation of his sect was already in tatters as everyon
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. 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
0324: I Swear I Didn’t Kill Him!
"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
0323: Your Heart Is So Dirty!
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. His cold eyes locked on Ambrose Darkmore as he pushed the sword forward.Ambrose's eyes widened with shock, and his face turned pale with shock. He hurriedly tried to retract his sword but found that it was too late.SWISH!Blood splattered as Ambrose's long blade pierced right through Silas Nightingale's forehead instead of its original target. The sudden impact impaled him completely.BANG!BANG!BANG!...At the same time, the remaining elders also assaulted Kian with a barrage of attacks.THUD!Kian's body flew back like a rag doll due to th
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
