2025-03-14 16:39:31Kai stood outside the door, refusing his subordinate’s request to enter with him. This house held too many memories for him, but this time would be his last visit.
He pressed the doorbell.
Inside the house, Astrid's mother, Vivian, stood before the mirror, carefully comparing two designer coats.
Tonight was her daughter’s wedding to Reginald, a grand affair taking place in the Sky Hall in the heart of the most exclusive district.
Yes, she hadn’t heard wrong—it was the Sky Hall, the one where even to visit, you needed to pay a 2 million membership f*e and pass a financial verification.
And to top it off, her son-in-law, Reginald, had promised that the most powerful figures within the estate would be attending. The richest woman in Dominus City, Elara, even, would personally present a wedding gift! What a huge blessing this is!
She could barely fathom how envious people would be, but she was certain that for the next month, maybe even the next year, all eyes would be on this wedding, the social event of the century!
As she thought this, the doorbell suddenly rang. Astrid hummed a tune as she opened the door, only to be met by an unexpected visitor—Kai!
Vivian's sharp eyes landed on him. Her brows furrowed with a twisted face.
Shock and fear washed over her. Hadn't Kai died? Astrid had told her that with her own mouth. Is there something wrong?
But she quickly realized that if Kay wasn’t dead, it meant he was here to cause trouble.
“What the hell are you doing here, you lowlife?” she snapped.
Kai didn’t flinch. “I need something from...”
“Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?” Vivian scoffed, crossing her arms.
“Astrid finally found a real man, and here you are… still clinging.” She rolled her eyes.
“You know what?” She sneered, eyeing Kai like he was dirt. “Astrid’s wedding’s at the Sky Hall. All the big players are gonna be there, and even the billionaire Elara’s gonna personally hand over a gift to them.”
“If you have half a brain, you’ll get the hell out of here before you make yourself look even more pathetic!”
“Oh really? Congrats", Kai exhaled slowly. "But I really don't care about Astrid anymore.”
“Excuse me?” Vivian’s smirk faltered. Her eyes flashed. How dare this thing talk about not wanting her daughter, it should be her daughter not wanting him.
Kai’s voice was cold. “I came for what’s mine.”
Vivian’s eyes flashed with anger. “There is NOTHING of yours here!” she spat. “Everything in this house belongs to Astrid.”
“You have nothing. You ARE nothing.” Vivian jabbed a finger at his chest, and her voice rose. “You wasted years of my daughter’s life! You should be paying us for all the time you stole from her!”
Kai scoffed, stepping forward. “Stole?” His voice was sharp. “That’s funny!”
"I bought this house! I paid the mortgage! I covered the every fucking bills for your whole family!"
“You’ve been living off me like leeches for years.”
“And now you have the nerve to tell me to leave?”
Vivian’s mouth opened, but no words came out. She had never seen Kai so aggressive before. But she recovered quickly, crossing her arms.
“So what?” she snapped. “You think a few bills make you a man? Reginald could buy this house ten times over, my daughter is pursuing a better life!”
“And Now,” Vivian’s eyes were cold as ice, “You’d better get the hell out of here, or I'll have my son come out and deal with you!"
Kai sneered. Her son, the fat slob who weighed over 200 pounds, couldn't walk two steps without gasping for air.
"Oh, sure, go ahead and call him. I'm really terrified"
"Sage, Sage!" Vivian's shrill, pig-like screams echoed, but Kai's attention was caught by the silver gleam of the necklace around her neck—it was his mother's necklace!
“That necklace belongs to me!” Kai’s eyes locked on it and his voice turned ice-cold, with rage exploded in his chest.
Vivian’s hand flew to her throat. She found this necklace in Astrid’s yard—finder’s keepers! And look at it, worth thousands. It’ll make her the star of tonight’s wedding. There’s no way it belongs to a broke loser like Kai!
"This? This necklace is worth tens of thousands! You couldn't afford it even if you sold yourself!" She scoffed, trying to hide her sudden unease.
Tens of thousands? Kai sneered inwardly. Astrid's mother was indeed as shallow and brainless as her! Tens of thousands wouldn't even qualify for a try-on! It is a true priceless treasure! A national treasure!
“Give. It. Back.” Kai took another step forward.
Kai tightly grasped her forearm and tried to yank the necklace right off her neck.
Vivian strained to hold the door frame, but clearly, she was no match for the burly Kai.
"What's going on here?" A shrill voice rang out from the stairs behind Vivian.
It was Sage Laurent. Astrid’s useless younger brother.
"It's the fucking Kai! He's gone nuts! Help me throw him out!" Taking the chance, Vivian twisted her body and hid behind Sage.
"Holly shit! You still alive!" Sage had an exaggerated expression.
”What the hell are you doing here? Astrid has already broken up with you!"
Sage eyed Kai with malicious intent, his gaze sweeping up and down.
"Wait, you’re not here to beg for forgiveness, are you?" His mocking laugh echoed, like a fat pig squealing non-stop.
"I'm here to take back what's mine!" Kai's eyes shifted past Sage, landing on Vivian behind him. "But your mother stole it."
"Bullshit, this necklace is mine!" Vivian shouted, not wanting Kai to stay another second. "Son, get him out of here!" she ordered.
“If I were you, I’d tuck my tail and get out of here,” Sage taunted. “After all, I could knock twenty of you weaklings with one punch.”
“Then go ahead and try,” Kai said calmly, his smirk only fueling Sage’s rage.
“Damn it, you’re asking for it!” With that, Sage charged at Kai like a crazed wild boar.
Kai stood frozen, as if stunned, rooted to the spot. Sage grinned in triumph, sure Kai was no match for him.
But the next second—crack!
Sage was sent flying like a ragdoll, hitting the ground with a sickening crack. He clearly heard the sound of his bones breaking.
What the hell is going on?!

313: The Fruit, The Fools, and The Flying Copycat
Kai frowned, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked down at the arrogant group below. Some disciples stood there in shimmering white robes, their chins raised so high he wondered how they hadn’t tripped over their pride yet.“Alright,” Kai said lazily, one hand still holding the glowing fruit. “Before we go any further, I need clarification. Are you commanding me, or politely requesting me to leave this fruit alone? Because I can’t seem to tell with that tone of yours. Sounds like you’re trying to cough up superiority and choking on it.”The group stiffened, obviously not used to being questioned. Kai continued, his tone infuriatingly calm.“See, I’m a very reasonable man. I’ve got plenty of fruits already, so I wouldn’t mind leaving this one. But your tone? Yeah, that’s not something I can tolerate. Politeness is free, gentlemen. Try using it once in a while.”He leaned back against the branch, completely relaxed then he continued with a straight face, “That attitude of yours? That
312: The Arrogant Savior and His Little Thief
The three men froze for a moment, processing Kai’s calm yet commanding tone before breaking into laughter. It wasn’t the friendly kind either, it was the snorting, mocking, “you-must-be-an-idiot” kind of laugh.One of them, clutching his ribs, wiped blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, “You think you can order us? Hand over the beast, boy, and maybe we’ll let you crawl away with all your limbs still attached.”Kai tilted his head lazily, unimpressed. “Crawl?” He grinned. “That’s cute. You three should start a comedy troupe, ‘The Half-Dead Clowns of Sky Iron.’ I’ll even pay to watch.”Their smiles vanished.Another, the one with the dagger, snarled, “You’ve got a big mouth. When we’re done with you, you’ll beg to lose it.”Kai rolled his eyes and sighed like a man too tired for stupidity. “Please don’t make empty promises. The last idiots who said that are still learning to chew porridge.”He shifted his halberd onto his shoulder, smirking. “But hey, I’m in a good mood. If y
311: The Greedy Meets the Cute
Kai summoned his halberd and his grip tightened on it, muscles flexing as he braced himself for the fight of his life. The forest trembled, the ground shook and then from the shadows burst forth……a tiny, squeaky thing.Kai blinked.Once then twice and again and again. Seriously?He slowly lowered his halberd, his expression caught somewhere between confusion and pure disbelief.“Wait a minute,” he muttered. “You’re… you’re kidding me.”The creature hovering weakly before him wasn’t a terrifying ten-meter monster. No. It was barely the size of a goat, maybe smaller or slightly bigger, with silky white fur that shimmered faintly under the moonlight. Two tiny wings sprouted awkwardly from its back, flapping weakly as it wobbled in the air. Its tail flicked like a cat’s, and its large golden eyes blinked up at him with the kind of innocent curiosity that could melt a warlord’s heart.It looked like a lion cub had gotten drunk, fallen in love with a pegasus, and somehow been born adorable.
310: The Greedy Wanderer
Kai sneezed so loud that a few nearby birds took off like arrows. He blinked groggily, sitting up under the tree he had collapsed beneath. For a moment, he just stared into the darkness, brain still half-asleep but then realization hit him.“Ah, for fuck’s sake,” he grumbled, rubbing his nose. “Who the hell sneezes themselves awake?!”He groaned dramatically and flopped back down, one hand over his face. “I was having a damn good dream too. There were golden clouds, spirit wine, and a woman feeding me grapes… now look at me, lying on the forest floor like a broke vagabond.”The night air was cool and sharp, the kind that made every sound echo. A few fireflies blinked lazily around him, and somewhere in the distance, an animal growled. Kai stretched lazily, arms cracking loudly, and yawned so wide it could’ve swallowed the moon.“Well, no point crying about it,” he muttered. “Back to the grand life of walking aimlessly in an unknown wilderness.”He stood, brushing leaves off his robe,
309: The Empty Vault and the Angry Idiots
When the beast finally went down, it didn’t go quietly, it collapsed with an earth-shaking thud, the air bursting in a hot, sulfurous wave that sent everyone stumbling back. Its body disintegrated slowly, and from its crumbling chest dropped a glowing core the size of a man’s fist.Abigail didn’t hesitate. “Mine,” she muttered, grabbing it before anyone could even blink. The others froze for a moment and then pretended not to care.Wei gave a stiff smile. “We’ll, uh… let you have that one.”But before anyone could question that sudden generosity, his group and the rest suddenly bolted ahead straight back into the village.Abigail blinked. “Oh? So now they’re marathon runners.”Jian watched them go, his eyes narrowing faintly, the faintest twitch of amusement curving his lips. “W-we f-follow,” he said quietly.Abigail raised a brow. “Why? So they can use us again?”His expression was calm, eyes glinting like a strategist watching pawns move on a board. “S-suspicion is a b-blade, A-Abi
308: A Fight Against Two.
The air split like a blade as Jian’s punch landed, the sound so sharp it felt like thunder striking the earth. The impact cracked through the monster’s torso and black lines webbing across its body and for one glorious second, everyone thought that was it.But then the cracks glowed faintly red… and sealed themselves shut.“Oh, come on,” Abigail hissed under her breath, already springing forward.Her blade sang through the air, a sharp whistle slicing into the creature’s chest with a flash of heat. Sparks erupted on contact, the armor-like hide screeching in protest. Behind her, Selene, Luna, and Rina stepped into action with the synchronization of seasoned predators.Selene went first, her eyes glowing faint silver as she whispered an incantation, a shimmering veil of moonlight forming around her hands. She flicked her wrist, sending a wave of hypnotic light straight at the creature’s eyes. The beast paused, stumbling slightly, its vision blurring as if it had fallen under a trance.
