Earlier when Mauro called, one of the things he had revealed was that the person behind the abduction of Savannah and others was Margaret.

Kian's men had not been able to uncover the identity of the abductor yet because she had cleaned up her tracks pretty well.

It was Mauro's investigation that revealed that Margaret is the one behind the kidnapping. Not only that, she was also the one that orchestrated the entire scandal.

Kian was livid beyond imagination. That stupid woman. How many chances has he given her to live? Yet, she does not cherish her life. This time, she will pay for all her sins.

"Wesley," Kian turned to the people behind him. "Gather everyone and evacuate all the tourists. If within four hours, she refuses to surrender, sink this island!"

Everyone present and those hearing him from the microphone trembled in shock. Kian spoke as if he was deciding a trivial matter but the killing intent in it made everyone horrified.

S—sink the island?! Is Kian really going to sink th

    "Sister-in-law, five years ago, you remember what became of the Blackwood's family. Kian was set up and falsely accused. He had to go to jail and even forcefully sign a divorce that gave away all his assets to Sinclair's family. My aunty and uncle couldn't handle what had become of their son so they committed suicide," Vivienne began to speak; her eyes tearing up.Savannah was silent. She hadn't known much about the Sinclair's family years ago because she had been embroiled in troubles of her own. As a matter of fact, Kian had been the cause of her woes. But hearing Vivienne's words caught her off guard. How did she never know about all this? Perhaps, she had been so filled with hatred for Kian that she didn't pay attention to any news concerning him."Even Kian was sentenced to death. That day, my father had rescued him from the death gallows and brought him home. I have never seen anyone as battered and broken as him. Sister-in-law, his legs had been broken almost rendering him cri

What if he really underestimated Margaret and after the four hours ultimatum he has given her, she doesn't release them? Kian's face was as calm as the sea but his heart was in turmoil. More thoughts flooded his mind, adding to his anxiety.Time passed by slowly and within a blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

Very good!She casually tossed the gun in her hand and looked at Savannah whose face was ugly. Resentment flickered in her eyes as they darted to the three people sitting helplessly.Killing these three and then taking Kian's life would be the perfect revenge. But to think of it, will Kian really not retaliate like he promised? She doesn't believe that! However, he already promised. Seeing that, she couldn't touch his bottom line. Since her initial goal was Kian, what did it matter if she let Savannah and the others go?If she is able to kill Kian, it doesn't matter at all.

He seemed to be in a merry mood, sipping wine and enjoying a massage from two sexy, scantily dressed women.He was watching everything that was playing out at Jeju island on a big tablet in his hand. When he saw Kian dragged into the island with life threatening injuries, he smoked a pipe happily.Kian was so badly injured it was evident he wouldn't survive! Haha!

    The knife aimed at Kian's forehead halted midway as the phone's chimes filled the serene environment. Margaret hissed and dropped the knife as she reached into her pocket to retrieve the phone that was ringing.It was a disposable phone that she had gotten on a whim. It has never rang since the whole trouble started so Margaret was confused about who would be calling her and how they got her private number.Various thoughts flashed through Margaret's mind as she looked at the unknown number displaying on the phone screen. But just when the call was about to end, Margaret held her breath and answered the call."Margaret, do you want to escape a death sentence?" As soon as the call connected, an unfamiliar middle-aged voice came through the line.Margaret trembled slightly.

    "Go and prepare the other ammunition," Margaret turned to the salesman, obviously in a foul mood. "In an hour, we'll head out.""What about this guy..." The salesman pointed at the barely conscious Kian. "Let him be," Margaret waved her hands impatiently and sneered. "He's already in this state. It's impossible for him to run now."The salesman nodded helplessly then hurried to carry out her instructions. Together, they checked their ammunition, completely ignoring Kian.The latter laid on the ground with his eyes closed. From afar, one would think he was already dead considering the bloody pool he was in.But he was still breathing faintly. Although the bleeding has ceased now and he won't die in Margaret's hands, the same can't be said for later.The imperial families of Cascadia suddenly contacted Margaret. Their intentions were obvious. He definitely won't be able to escape death later. Those imperial families won't let him go.As Kian laid still, many ways of how those imperial

    Wesley had returned to the yacht and was watching the situation with a grim expression when his phone suddenly chimed.It was a cryptic message from an unknown sender which he quickly managed to decipher. [The imperial families of Cascadia want to intervene in the situation. Assign people to patrol the sea. Once the people from the imperial families are found, they must be killed immediately!]Wesley lifted his head and looked around quickly. Everyone was focused on the island. Who could have sent this message?It definitely isn't from the general as he is currently in the hands of those criminals and has no access to communication. So who could have—"Ay, Wesley, that's not the most important thing right now," Wesley facepalmed at his thoughts. Does it matter who sent the message? The utmost concern now was that the general was in greater danger. If the imperial families are coming to intervene, the general will never escape.Perhaps those sly people were the ones that orchestrated

    When Roland Harrington finally stopped, he was panting heavily while Tristan lay on the ground like a dog. His face was bruised and battered. His expensive tuxedo was also covered in different footprints. He was in a sorry state. "You worthless piece of trash!" Roland Harrington before wiping off the sweat on his forehead and turning to Kian.In an instant, the furious expression on his face changed as he turned around. What replaced it was a sweet, sickly smile. "Master... No, leader... I sincerely apologize for my grandson's ignorance," he apologized in a low and submissive tone. "He doesn't understand the rules, but I have already taught him a lesson. Please don't hold him to it."Master?Leader?Tristan was taken aback while Charlotte Lane was terrified. They were at the venue of the contests of the ancient martial arts alliance sects, so they understood perfectly what these titles mean.Is this some sort of joke?! Tristan stared at his grandfather baffled. This masked bastar

    The spectators exchanged strange looks amongst themselves, with some holding back their laughter. The situation was hilarious. The famous, arrogant heir apparent of the aristocratic Harrington's family was on his knees. What a sight!Even Kian smiled behind his mask. Although people couldn't see his smile, they heard it in his voice as he spoke, "Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to greet me with such a grand gesture on our first meeting or what do you think, Tristan?"His sarcastic and mocking tone snapped Tristan out of his daze immediately. Who the hell does this bastard think he is? How dare he assume a whole heir like him would bow to a lowly bastard?!Tristan flared up immediately, his face turning a deep shade of red. "You bastard! Do you want to be taught a lesson?!"As he shouted, he forced himself to get back on his feet and throw a punch in Kian's direction. But just as he made a move again, a big palm clouded his vision.SMACK!Roland Harrington's wild swing sent Tristan stum

    Charlotte was still Tristan's girlfriend, and seeing her hurt like this was a huge slap on his face. So even if everyone present, including Charlotte, mistakes his anger for concern and his love for her, to Roland, his grandson's anger was justifiable."Just send someone to handle it. Do you really need to create such a scene here and ask me?'' Roland Harrington scoffed in exasperation."That guy has a strong background!" Charlotte, who had been silent, chose that moment to speak. Her voice was filled with grievance and anger. "Not only did he hurt me, he also nearly crippled the young master of the Faye's family!"The crowd gasped in surprise. What? There was someone that would actually dare to commit these atrocities without any fear for his life?!"Not only that," Charlotte hadn't finished speaking. "He also threatened to publicly humiliate the Faye's family, Smith's family and Hall's family in three days—"WHACK!"Shut up!" Tristan's facial features had hardened as he slapped her

    The spectators immediately stepped back, distancing themselves from the young man who was saying awful things about Charlotte Lane's amputated hands earlier."I asked you to repeat what you said," the iciness in Tristan's eyes and voice deepened as he fixed his gaze on the young man."I... I... I..." The young man looked terrified out of his wits and stuttered, unable to utter a complete sentence.BANG!Footsteps echoed as the five muscular bodyguards in black surrounded him, giving him no room for escape!THUD!The young man trembled and collapsed to the ground on his knees with a loud thud. He bowed severally as he pleaded pitifully, "Tristan, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I spoke without thinking. Please...."His voice shook as he apologized, and his face had turned pale. But before he could complete his words, Tristand extended a leg with a vicious expression and kicked him!BANG!"Argh!" The young man clutched his stomach, howling in pain as he fell down flat.

    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

    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

    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

    "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
