The wooden table split into two. Dishes and bowls shattered. Food splattered all over and expensive wine bottles were ruined!The imperial families stood up with a start and retreated in shock. Master Theo was lying on the broken table in a pitiful state. His palm had been twisted from the right angle and he was writhing in pain.He had also suffered some injuries from the crash and was starting to bleed. The imperial families watched him in horror.This was Theo, the leader of the Underworld Emperors who had once put an end to the life of a mighty general with just five moves. Unexpectedly, he had been defeated by a single move?!Master Theo however was in a daze as he stared at Kian with a small hint of fear. Grappled with excruciating pain, he struggled to sit up. But there was one question burning in his mind: 'Who the heck is this man?' Even the best martial artist in Valoria Prime couldn't counter his hand combat. It was a technique he had developed himself. But with just one
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0130: Who Is Really Acting Recklessly?
Kian took in their faces which had gone completely white from fear. He shrugged nonchalantly, "I don't like it when someone threatens me." No one could refute his words. Not even Master Russell who was grieving his son and was filled with resentment had the courage to speak. Kian swept his gaze around the room until his eyes landed on one young master who was hiding away. "You called me a stray bastard earlier, didn't you?" "No!" The young man trembled and shook his head. He didn't hesitate to point fingers at Preston's corpse. "He was the one who said it, not me." "But you did call me a bastard, didn't you?" As Kian asked, he walked towards the young man. "I... No... I... Didn't..." The man stammered but before he could complete his words, SWISH! Another knife had already cut through the air and pierced his chest, stabbing his heart. He staggered backwards and hit the wall. As he slid slowly to the ground, he left a bloody trail on the wall. "You bastard, I'll kill
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0131: Are You Appeased Now?
The imperial families felt really aggrieved but they didn't dare voice out their grievances. However, Orion didn't remain silent like the rest. "Brother," He laughed nervously. "You completely misunderstood our intentions. Although we were interested in the Celestium mine, we were not planning to snatch away or use force. We already decided to bargain with the owner." He turned to the other imperial families and asked them with a warning tone, "Right?" "Yes... Yes..." The imperial families chorused and answered. "Bargain?" Kian snorted not one bit convinced by their attitudes. "If I had given in to your threats earlier tonight, were you still going to try to bargain with me peacefully?" The imperial families' faces reddened with embarrassment. Of course not! They were never planning any sort of negotiation. Didn't their threats say it all earlier? Kian sneered at their silence and told them in a cold tone, "The owner of the Celestium mine never mentioned that he wanted to
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0132: Finest Specimen
Charlotte and Christopher Blackwood were startled. Kian's mocking smile was terrifying. It appeared like he was taunting them. Charlotte's beautiful eyes turned red with anger and she remained silent. Veins popped on the forehead of her brother. He was quite unwilling but he couldn't handle such pressure so he lowered his head and gritted out, "My Blackwood's family announces withdrawal. We won't interfere in the mine's affairs anymore." "Brother!" Charlotte wanted to protest but Christopher held her back and shook his head. Her face shone with resentment but due to her brother's warning gaze, she didn't speak anymore. "Okay... Your actions and words are sincere enough. I'll hold you all to your words," Kian swept his gaze around the room and nodded with a smile. The imperial families heaved a sigh of relief but their relief was short-lived when he suddenly told them, "However, Valoria Prime isn't a city anyone can enter and just leave as they please. You have all made
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0133: Stay Put For Three Days
"Six billion?!" Someone choked in disbelief. Kian nodded with a seemingly innocent smile, ignoring the gobsmacked expressions on their faces. "Didn't you all come to Valoria Prime to invest in the Radiance gallery? You have already wasted my time tonight. Compensate for that with your investment." Someone coughed violently. Six billion wasn't a small sum! Even if they were from the imperial families and could afford it, how could such a huge amount go to waste?! Kian didn't actually need their money. But thinking of how excited Savannah had been earlier when she found out that five of the imperial families in Cascadia wanted to invest in her gallery, he felt guilty. It was his fault she was roped into his personal affairs. She deserves to be compensated for that. "Brother, six billion dollars..." Someone trailed off. Six billion was too much for compensation. "Well, I won't be collecting your money for nothing," Kian informed them with a serious demeanor. "Of course, sh
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0134: Don't Call Me That
As soon as Kian walked out of the reserved room, the strong murderous aura over him disappeared without trace. Footsteps reverberated in the hallway as someone approached him. "Keep an eye on those imperial families," He instructed the person in a casual tone, his gaze flicking back to the room he had just exited. "If anyone attempts to escape, kill them!" "Yes sir," Wesley nodded and retreated. Kian walked out of the restaurant lost in thoughts but his steps faltered when he caught sight of someone pacing to and fro in front of the restaurant. Savannah hadn't noticed him and was still mumbling something to herself. Her beautiful face was filled with anxiety. Didn't he tell her to go home? Was this woman so worried the imperial families would deal with him she couldn't leave? She stood all alone outside the restaurant in this cold... He suddenly regretted getting his jacket soiled. He could have draped it over her delicate shoulders. Nevertheless, he walked forward with a

More people ran over to the gallery to find out what was really going on. They discovered the gallery was still in place but it was locked. Then who was spreading the false news? Some people were more concerned about the whereabouts of the gallery's staff. Some tried to call Savannah but neither her number or that of any of the gallery's staff was going through. This left the citizens of Valoria Prime spiraling in total confusion. Meanwhile, Savannah was resting peacefully at home, unaware of the storm brewing in the city. Kian had suddenly asked her to take a break from the gallery's affairs for a few days. She didn't question his suggestion because she had worked hard since the exhibition event and their gallery had made more sales than expected. RING! Savannah raised her head from the puzzle book she had been solving with Noah when her phone rang. But before she could do anything, Kian had walked over and disconnected the call. "You... What are you doing? That might be
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0136: Violate The Dead
Alexander's eyes darted from his beautiful bride-to-be to his younger half-brother, Anthony who was glaring at him with resentful eyes. Alexander's lips curled up with a mocking smile. Anthony was now mute and although he was glaring resentfully, there was nothing the bastard could do! Now that Anthony was mute and utterly useless, Alexander's position as the future successor of the family was cemented. His competitor was out of the way once and for all! 'And I only have that bastard to thank for this,' Alexander's smile widened. This was all because of Kian. Alexander's eyes darted to his crippled legs. This injury was worth it. "Let the feast begin!" Thomas Sinclair laughed and waved his hands, gesturing to the servants. The courtyard soon echoed with happy cheers and laughter. After a while when the feast and celebrations had started, Jonathan raised his cup and cheered with Thomas. After draining the contents of the cup, he suddenly posed a question that's been trou

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

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
