0388: The End
The explosion echoed throughout the hall like a clap of thunder. BOOM! The terrifying shockwave swept through the venue, rattling tables and sending countless spectators stumbling backward. Many instinctively covered their ears, their expressions filled with horror. THUD! THUD! THUD! Kian's feet scraped violently across the marble floor before he finally regained his balance. His chest churned. A metallic taste surged into his throat. "Pfft!" A mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips as his face turned deathly pale. His entire right arm trembled uncontrollably. Every movement sent sharp pain shooting through his bones. It felt as though the impact had fractured his arm. Across from him, the three Draven elders merely took two steps backward before stabilizing themselves. The difference was obvious. Ever since leaving the Southern Borders, Kian had never fought with his full strength. Today was the first time. Yet despite going all out, he had still been suppressed. These thr
0387: Cold-blooded Grandfather
Mortimer's lips parted the moment he entered the hall, but the first words out of his mouth weren't directed at anyone in particular."Where is Tobias?"David's expression stiffened. Without saying a word, he pointed toward the crumpled figure lying a few meters away.Mortimer's gaze followed his finger. The familiar black robe came into view. His footsteps halted."Tobias...?"For a brief second, he thought the young man was merely unconscious. But when he saw Tobias' bloodied body, torn robes, and deathly pale face, the color drained from his own.His pupils contracted violently. Impossible... His heart skipped a beat.Throughout the whole of Cascadia, Tobias had always stood at the pinnacle of martial arts. Countless experts had challenged him over the decades, yet none had ever managed to push him into a corner.So who... Who could reduce Tobias to such a miserable state?"...Is he dead?" Mortimer's voice trembled ever so slightly. "What happened?"For the first time in years, the
0386: Secret Collaboration
Kian stood by the side, arms crossed as he quietly observed the clock. Time flew quickly and the hands of the clock moved.All the members of the aristocratic families on stage were already shaking. Some were drenched in sweat and others had even peed on themselves.The countdown was almost over and not one of their patriarchs have arrived. Are those old men really going to sacrifice them and let them die?Even the spectators had begun to whisper amongst themselves. It seems these members of the aristocratic families will just have to pay for their sins today.However, just as the clock's hand ticked past the ninth mark—BOOM!The heavy doors of the hall swung open with a loud crash. A crowd flooded the hall. At that moment, thousands of eyes turned towards the entrance.At the forefront of the crowd, four imposing figures were leading the way, striding in confidently.They had different stature but all shared a common aura, one that commanded respect.These four figures were the patr
0385: Do You Have An Objection?
Zeke's sycophantic behavior drew some displeasure from the other aristocratic families. Even though the Sterling's family isn't the top aristocratic family in Cascadia, they are still among the top eight families.And this Zeke is the heir apparent of the family. How could he act so submissive towards a commoner? His actions were a disgrace to their noble lineage!"Zeke, you—" his uncle wanted to speak and oppose his actions but another young man from the aristocratic Sinclair's family, who could no longer hold back his anger, shouted angrily."Zeke, as the rightful heir apparent of the Sterling's family, I must say, you are such a disgrace! How can—"SWOOSH!Before the young man could complete his statement, a sharp sound erupted and a shard of glass cut through the air, piercing his chest deeply!THUD!He clutched his chest and staggered backwards. Blood oozed through his fingers. "Argh!" His heart-wrenching cry filled the air."Continue screaming and it will pierce your heart," Ki
0384: Learn The Hard Way
"And the rest of you," his gaze casually swept over all the aristocratic families that had stepped forward earlier to support Vaughn Sinclair except the Hathaway's family who remained on their seats and the Harrington's family."If any of your patriarchs isn't present here, I want all of them to be here in ten minutes time!"What?!All the people who had been sighing in relief earlier were startled. Their hearts sank and they froze in shock."Orion," Grandfather Hathaway whispered to his grandson from where they were sitting. "Thank goodness I listened to you and didn't stand up earlier.""Grandfather, you should trust me more," Orion smirked smugly, patting himself.On the other side, Zeke Sterling looked up at the stage and met his grandfather's regretful gaze.The old man wasn't speaking but everything he wanted to say seemed to be written on his face.'Zeke, I should have listened to you earlier and sat back.'Although Zeke felt a bit sympathetic, his facial expression hardened an
0383: Apologize In Person
People from the Sacred Realm were not ordinary forces. They were not on the same level with ordinary civilians.Each member of the aristocratic Blackwood's family knew their rapid rise to success in Cascadia all these years was because of those mysterious forces in Sacred Realm.It's only because of those people that the aristocratic Blackwood's family could top all the families in the imperial capital city.But now they had foolishly offended someone from the Sacred realm that was even more powerful and formidable than Tobias!'Damn it!''This damn useless bastard!''Wasn't he acting all high and mighty earlier? So he isn't even tough!''Father will kill us!''What have we done?!'At that moment, several members of the aristocratic Blackwood's family including David were cursing Tobias inwardly."Master," David Blackwood smiled nervously at Kian's icy gaze and stuttered, "Tobias is indeed a servant of our family but his actions weren't done on our orders..."As soon as he had finishe
