By the time Kian managed to bring out the phone, it had stopped chiming. He shook his head and sighed. But he was too drunk to think of where exactly to press on the screen so he gave up trying and wanted to return to the table when—

RING!

RING!

RING!

A frown etched on his face when the phone started chiming again. He answered the call without checking the caller ID, not like he would be able to read the words if he could.

"Kian," A strange yet familiar melodious voice came through the line.

Kian paused, his heart suddenly filled with so much sweetness that was threatening to overtake the sadness in it. "Hello."

"You promised to call... We waited all day," The melodious voice seemed to be nursing a grudge.

Kian was confused. He sniffled and asked, "Call? When... When... did... I..."

"You..." The lady sounded exasperated. "Are you drunk?"

Kian suddenly felt like he was a little boy about to be scolded. The urge to lie arose and he succumbed. "N...no... I'm... not... drunk... I... I...

    The masked man and his master were present, but they were bowing to her. Aren't they just creating more misunderstandings?The more Charlotte thought of this, the more anxious she felt, and she immediately tried to explain, "You all, don't—"She wasn't given a chance to complete her words because Collins waved his hands at her enthusiastically and interrupted her."You don't need to be polite, Charlotte. You have avenged my son and brought the perpetrator here. You are our family's greatest benefactor!"CREAK!CREAK!As soon as he finished speaking, Franklin emerged from the crowd, sweating profusely as he maneuvered his wheelchair.His hands were completely useless. His bones had been shattered, leaving him disabled and unable to exert any strength.But due to his ego, he refused help from the servants and wheeled himself out using the mechanical buttons on his high tech wheelchair.Seeing Kian's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but grin widely. "Thank you sister-in-law!"Charl

    BOOM!As soon as his words fell, everyone's faces changed drastically. Collins Faye, Archer Hall, and Simon Smith immediately sprang up."What's going on? Didn't the other party say three days? How many people did he bring? Did he say anything?" Collins demanded with a grim facial expression."I don't know why he suddenly approached us," the man reporting the incident shook his head. "But he didn't bring anyone. Only Miss Charlotte Lane is accompanying him."Another member who followed him instinctively added, "The masked man is covered with injuries and is bleeding everywhere. It looks like someone had beaten him up black and blue!""Yes," Another nodded. "He didn't even say anything. It was Miss Charlotte Lane that asked to see you."Huh? Everyone exchanged a look, trying to comprehend their words. Beaten up black and blue?All of a sudden, Franklin, who was looking weak previously, suddenly lit up like decorations on a Christmas tree and shouted excitedly, "Tristan! Dad, it must ha

    "If I don't see anyone in the Faye's family residence within an hour, I'll have your head on a plate!"Tristan trembled in fear, finally realizing the severity of the situation. He quickly stood up and fled as if his life depended on it. Wait, his life did depend on it.Roland Harrington watched his grandson flee with a stern expression, but no one knew what was going on in his mind.Inwardly, he was actually feeling very anxious. He prayed he acted fast, and his actions would salvage the situation.Meanwhile, the spacious hall of the Faye's family home back on one side of the Blackwood's District was bustling with people.All the direct descendants of the Faye's family had gathered in the hall. Even Franklin Faye who had just awakened from a coma and was now in a wheelchair was also present.At the center of the hall, there was a large, wide mahogany table. Three middle-aged men had occupied some seats and were gingerly sipping tea.Among these three men was the current patriarch of

    'Pay them any visit together?!'Charlotte Lane trembled violently, and her face was masked with fear at Kian's words. This man..."I originally planned to give you people three days ultimatum," Kian explained with a small smile. "But judging by Miss Charlotte's performance today, three days seem far off."Kian met Charlotte's eyes and added, "Since I have nothing else to do right now, how about we take this little trip together? Or what do you say, Miss Charlotte?"Charlotte hesitated to speak, but could she even dare refuse? The answer was plain clear. No, She dared not! So she simply nodded, "Okay..."Kian's smile widened beneath his mask, and he was just about to take a step forward when Roland Harrington suddenly stopped him cautiously."Master, what about the matter we were discussing? You have not..." "We will discuss it some other time," Kian interrupted him dismissively as he headed right for the tent of the Sacred Shadow sect.Roland Harrington, who was dismissed, turned red

  • 0334: Pay Them A Visit Together

    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. Th

    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

  • 0331: Chose Tristan Over That Man...

    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

  • 0330: No Big Deal

    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. It didn't stop her

  • 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
