0347: "Sir... Can We... Stand Now?"
Kian stood in front of the desolate grave stone quietly, lost in thoughts. Behind him were Wesley, Roland Harrington, Charlotte Lane, and the people who were kneeling. They were all silent, not daring to speak and disturb his quiet time with the deceased. After a long time, when many knees had begun to grow weary, Kian took a deep breath and smiled, murmuring to himself,"This gravestone is too shabby. This spot is too desolate. It doesn't suit your personality. Am I wrong, Garrett?"No one answered only a never ending silence. But Kian didn't seem to care. If anything, his smile grew wilder. "Today, I will have some people move your grave..."Roland Harrington was quick to decipher the meaning of his words. He turned to Charlotte Lane, Collins Faye, and the other people on their knees abruptly. "What are you all still waiting for? Go on!"Charlotte nodded quickly and was the first person to crawl over. Collins Faye, Archer Hall, and a few other members who had directly orchestrated
0346: A Lonely And Desolate Gravestone
"Fine," Kian nodded at the brave, young men who had spoken. "Give me one reason why your entire family shouldn't be punished, and I promise I will let you all go."Silence washed over the crowd. The youths exchanged a look. Is this man messing with them? Could he actually have meant what he just said? Will he really let them go?But before any of them could speak, Kian shrugged, "Time's up. None of you could say a word. I gave you your chance but you already missed it.""But...""But...""But..."Kian's cold eyes silenced the youths who tried to speak again. His amused demeanor completely faded as he pointed at them."The perpetrator of the crime was the patriarch of your family. He was the leader of the entire family. You all knew he was in the wrong, but none of us did anything to stop it!"Kian took a step towards them, causing hundreds of bodies to tremble and retreat backward hastily."Because of that, none of you hypocrites have any right to negotiate with me!"Kian's tone was c
0345: I Refuse!
But Archer Hall also wore a sorrowful expression and his face was devoid of all colours. Behind him, the direct members of the Hall family followed suit. Their faces also reflected the weight of the moment.Next came the Smith's family. As the onlookers' eyes fell on the procession of this family, their hearts trembled violently and some gasped in shock. In the lead were five members of the Smith's family who were carrying a stretcher. This person lying on the stretcher was the patriarch of their family Simon Smith.To be precise, it was the lifeless body of the plump man. He looked drawn and colorless. There was a conspicuous, see-through hole in his forehead.It looked as if something had drilled past his skull! It was horrendous as blood continued to seep through the open wound, staining the cream colored robe on the deceased. This sight will forever haunt the onlookers.However, after their initial shock, curiosity washed over them. How did the mighty Simon Stone die?! Why was he
0344: The Man In The Mask
More discussions like that continued throughout the entire district. Everyone was confused and wanted to know what the aristocratic Harrington's family and the masked man were up to.But no one was brave enough to defy the orders and step out of their house. They could only continue to speculate in the walls of their home. Time continued to tick away.Finally, at that point, a tall figure stood at the end of the major street in the Blackwood's District. In an instant, thousands of eyes from the streets and buildings alike focused on him.Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Kian, masked and dressed in a bloodstained all-black attire, walked down the empty streets slowly and steadily. His expression was calm, and he was flanked on both sides by two people.As the people peeking from the homes caught a clear view of the figure on his right side, a collective gasp echoed from several buildings.This was because the man was none other than the patriarch of the aristocratic Harrington's
0343: Sudden Lock Down
A sudden oppressive hostile overwhelmed Simon Smith. The elderly man could feel a chilling sense of impending doom which made every hair on his body stand on the end. "No... Please... I'm sorry... I take back all I've said..." Simon began to tremble, feeling like his end was near.In an instant, his fear morphed to panic and he threatened desperately, "My daughter is the daughter-in-law of the aristocratic Russell's family! If you dare to kill me, they won't let you go!""Humph!" Kian chuckled darkly and flickered his fingers in a casual move. "I want your head. Not even the Emperor of death can stop me!"BOOM!A ferocious force surged around Kian. No one could see it but with that small flicker of fingers, Kian summoned an invisible dagger with the coalesce of his internal energy. The air split with a sharp sound and a piercing strike shot out!BANG!Simon Smith's body jolted at the deafening sound. A hole suddenly appeared on his forehead, huge and shockingly gruesome. SPLAT!A to
0342: Your Doing, Not Mine
"Hey, you bastard! You can't wipe out our entire family!" Simon Smith suddenly spoke up, his voice quivering with agitation. "There are at least a hundred more minor families as powerful as ours!"The underlying meaning of his words were clear. One could come to a conclusion that Simon was saying even if their families are eradicated now, more families would still sprout up in their place. "With your reckless behaviour, are you not afraid of provoking other minor families to gang up against you?!" Simon's voice was filled with panic. At that very second, he was genuinely scared. Kian's eyes narrowed at him coldly. Without a word, he took a step forward and then another. As he approached Simon, the elderly man trembled. Fear etched on his wrinkled face and he instinctively started to back away. "I will compensate you! I'll pay any amount you want! Please spare me and my family! You want Garrett's coffin to be moved to my ancestral graveyard right?"Simon continued to retreat as he
0341: Public Backlash
'If your information is proven to be inaccurate, you know the consequences.'The words reverberated in Charlotte's head. She turned pale and nodded vigorously. Even if Kian didn't warn her, did she have anything to hide at this point?Satisfied with her response, Kian turned his face away from her. His eyes rested on Archer Hall and Simon Smith. "Call your family members and have all of them assembled here within an hour."His words were filled with a chill that made everyone tremble again, but he wasn't even done yet. His eyes darkened murderously as he raised a finger."If any of them is even a minute late, the penalty will be their heads!"Archer Hall and Simon Smith shook with fear at his brutal words. The two elders exchanged a look, noticing the despair in each other's eyes. Was that death bell ringing?"What are you planning to do?!" Archer Hall suddenly questioned Kian with bloodshot eyes. "Garrett was drunk and drove himself to his death! He drove his car into the water all
0340: You Know The Consequences
THUD!THUMP!THUD!THUMP!The sound of hurried footsteps rushing to carry out the order Roland Harrington issued out hit the ground. "Master, what are your orders? Just utter a word, and I'll get it done!" Roland Harrington swore in a fiercely loyal tone as he turned to Kian with a smile, not at all disgusted by his bloody and battered appearance.Kian remained silent, only nodding calmly. No one knew due to the mask that his face was sporting a strange expression at the moment. This old man from the aristocratic Harrington's family has been walking hard all day long and helping him out a lot.With him around, Kian could save time and effort. However, the latter couldn't help but wonder amusedly—what would be the reaction of this old man when he discovers his real identity?Kian's eyes squinted slightly at the eager Roland. Would the old man be so furious that he may drop dead on the spot? Haha!Humph! Who cares? He wasn't forced to do free labor. He simply chose to do it himself.
0339: Century Old Unspoken Rule
As soon as Roland Harrington heard Franklin's words, his face darkened. He turned to his grandson and glared at him. "Fix this mess!""Yes grandfather!" The bruised and battered Tristan immediately scurried forward like a frightened squirrel. There were two muscular martial artists behind him, following him closely. Collins Faye suddenly sensed something was wrong. He quickly rushed forward to block them. "You... What... do... you... want... to do?!"Tristan's expression turned ugly and he growled out a command, "Get him out of my way!"After the humiliation and insult he has had to suffer from his grandfather, he was already seeking a way to vent his frustration and Collins Faye had the audacity to get in his way. He was clearly asking to be taught a lesson!Without hesitation, the two martial artists behind him immediately sprang into action. Their muscular legs struck Collins like fierce pieces of steel, kicking his old knees ferociously. WHACK!BANG!"Argh!" Collins let out a
