2025-03-14 16:40:17"You... you bastard!" Vivian was terrified. When did Kai become so strong? She quietly stepped back, hoping to lock Kai and Sage outside, to protect herself.
But the next moment, Kai kicked the door open, bracing it with his firm arm before it could close.
"Give it to me," he said, his voice cold and impatient. "Or do you want me to take it myself?"
"Get away!" Vivian screamed, clutching the necklace tightly. "This necklace is mine! I'll die before I give it to you!"
"You fucker!" Sage spat blood, a tooth falling from his mouth. Damn it, Kai! He definitely did this on purpose!
"You're looking for death!" Sage struggled to rise, his fury building as he yelled at Kai.
"Come on, you bastard! Show me what you learned from your whore mother!"
"You're done for." Kai's gaze darkened as he moved like a shadow, swiftly appearing in front of Sage.
CRACK.
Before Sage could even speak, he was sent flying again.
Vivian panicked, peeking through the peephole. Sage was lying on the floor, and if he was down, wasn’t she next?
Just as she prepared to sneak away, the door slammed open with a loud bang. Sage's nearly 200-pound body was shoved back against her. Damn it, her spine must have cracked!
"Well? Still want to fight?" Kai's tone was casual, but his eyes remained deadly.
"Here, take it! Take it!" Vivian slapped Sage's hefty backside. If he didn’t get up, she would be suffocated under him.
Kai didn’t waste time with them, grabbing the necklace and walking away.
"You ungrateful bastard! We gave you food, drink, shelter, everything! And this is how you repay us!" Sage yelled behind him, unwilling to accept his defeat.
"You’re done!" He shouted, "My sister’s getting married tonight. My brother-in-law is Mr. Reginald. He won’t let you get away with this!"
"No need to wait." Kai paused in his tracks, his footsteps steady. "I'll go to the wedding tonight and settle it personally."
Then, he stepped outside, the cold air greeting him. The sleek Rolls-Royce awaited, its polished exterior gleaming under the light. A burly man stood beside the open door, his sharp gaze flicking toward Sage.
Sage, groaning on the floor, looked outside the gate in disbelief. A Rolls-Royce? For Kai?
---
At the Sky Ballroom, Astrid stood at the entrance, smiling as she greeted guests.
Reginald had promised that tonight, the biggest names in the city would be here—especially Elara, the city’s wealthiest. She would not only attend the ceremony in person, but also present a grand gift for their wedding. She couldn’t afford to disappoint her.
"Astrid, my baby!" Vivian and Sage, storming toward her, furious and limping.
"You have no idea what we’ve been through!" Vivian's voice trembled with just the right amount of misery. "That monster nearly killed Sage! He’s out of control!"
Astrid’s gaze flickered to her brother. Sage looked pathetic, bandaged up, his lip swollen, one arm wrapped tightly.
This is too embarrassing! She didn’t want the guests seeing her mother and brother in such a state! She quickly ushered them into a small lounge nearby.
"He barged into our home like a madman," she wailed. "He snatched my necklace! The one you gave me as a gift! And then..." She craned her neck, pointing at the faint red marks. "Look! He attacked me! If Sage hadn’t stepped in, I might not even be alive right now, you'll have become motherless!"
"And he’s definitely on drugs," Sage declared firmly. "There’s no way he could beat me without them! No way!" He tried to flex his relaxed biceps but accidentally pulled at his wound.
"That sucker! Not only is he on drugs, but he rented a luxury car to show off!" Sage ground his teeth in anger. "A Rolls-Royce! Worth more than his own life!"
"He’s definitely hoping you’ll change your mind, throwing money at these pathetic tricks!!"
Astrid’s nails dug into her palms. Useless! Those security guards were useless!
Not only was Kai still alive, but he has the audacity to storm into her home, assault her family, steal the necklace, and then drive off in his flashy car!
Does that bastard think Astrid is someone to be trampled on?
She was going to give him a lesson he'd never forget—personally!
Click—she dialed Kai's number. But the moment it connected—it was cut off.
“That bastard! H-He hung up on me!” Astrid’s face twisted with rage.
“What happened?” Reginald burst through the door. “Elara’s gift just arrived. Aren’t you coming out to take a look?”
Astrid’s eyes lit up instantly, and so did her mother’s and brother’s. A greedy gleam flickered in their beady little eyes like a pair of miserly rats sniffing gold.
“But darling,” Astrid said in a fake, delicate voice, “Mom just told me that bastard Kai isn’t dead. He stole her banquet necklace, and he is planning to crash our wedding. We can’t just let him get away with it!”
"Not dead?" Reginald raised an eyebrow. Looks like it’s time he handled things personally.
“Don’t worry,” Reginald said, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. “If that bastard dares show up at our wedding, he’s done for.”
“Don’t forget—we’ve got Elara backing us.” A smug smile curled on Reginald’s lips.
Old grudges and new rage boiled inside him. He hated Kai with every fiber of his being.
If Kai had the guts to show up at the wedding, there’d be no mercy.
Reginald swore—he’d make sure Kai wouldn’t walk out alive.

Chapter 766: Beyond Earth
Kai immediately looked toward the sky as though asking whatever power existed above him why his life kept turning in these directions. “Of course it does.”Emily stared at him while Abigail’s lips twitched again, but Zora continued before either of them could start teasing him. “Marriage is not the only recognized bond. Soul contracts, Dao partnerships and several ancient cultivation agreements would also work. But considering the relationship between the three of you, marriage is the simplest and most stable option.”Kai slowly lowered his gaze. “The three of us?”“Yes.”Emily folded her arms. “So now I’m supposed to marry him because some strange realm might otherwise decide to assign him another woman?”Zora raised a brow. “Would you prefer that?”Emily opened her mouth, paused, then closed it again.Kai immediately began fighting a smile.She noticed.“Don’t.”“I didn’t say anything.”“You were about to.”“I was breathing.”Abigail sighed quietly, while Zora shook her head at the
Chapter 765: Another World
As everything finally settled and the wasteland began learning how to exist without war, Zora appeared again.As usual, there was no warning, one moment, Kai was standing beside Abigail and Emily near the remains of the old command area, watching workers dismantle another section of temporary housing. The next, space twisted a few steps away and Zora walked out of it as casually as though she had merely stepped through a doorway.Kai looked at her then he sighed.“No.”Zora stopped.“I haven’t even said anything.”“You appeared.”“And?” Zora raised her brows “You never appear when good things are about to happen.”Emily immediately laughed, Abigail, however, looked more carefully at Zora.There was something different about her expression.Normally, Zora arrived wearing that annoying look of someone who already knew exactly how much suffering Kai was about to endure and intended to enjoy every second of it. This time, however, the amusement was there only faintly. Beneath it was some
Chapter 764: After the Last War
The war was finally over.For the first time in years, nobody woke expecting the portal to open.There was no emergency bell in the middle of the night, no injured cultivators being dragged toward the medical tents or formation masters running around shouting that another defensive node had collapsed. The portal itself was gone, leaving only scarred ground where it had once stood and an enormous silence that felt almost unnatural after so many years of noise.At first, nobody really knew what to do with that silence.Then someone suggested a feast and that was all it took.By evening, the wasteland looked completely different from the battlefield it had been only days earlier. Huge fires burned across the open ground, tables had been dragged out from every surviving camp, wine appeared from storage rings that people had apparently been hiding through the entire war, and several of the dead beasts were already being cleaned and roasted.Kai watched one enormous piece of beast meat turn
Chapter 763: Three Days at the Gate
The time for the battle finally came.By then, nobody needed to be called twice. The remaining cultivators had already gathered across the wasteland in the formations assigned to them, weapons ready, pills distributed, damaged equipment replaced and every defensive array pushed to full strength. The internal chaos that had nearly torn them apart only a short while ago was gone, replaced by a tense silence as thousands of eyes remained fixed on the portal ahead. Even those who had survived several invasions could feel that this one was different. The distorted space around the portal had been growing more violent for hours, and now the sealed surface was twisting so badly that streaks of dark energy kept bursting across it like cracks in glass.Kai stood near the front with Abigail beside him, both completely calm compared to everyone around them. Emily, Elder Harkan, Allen, Elder Sophia and the Grand Elder were positioned farther back with the command groups, while Vivienne and Jian
Chapter 762: Through the Portal
They returned to the house not long after leaving the assembly behind, and for the first time in hours, the wasteland outside felt almost strangely quiet. The rebellion had been cut out before it could spread any further, the remaining cultivators had been given clear orders, and everyone now understood that the next problem would not come from inside their own ranks. It would come through the portal. Kai barely had time to sit down before another set of footsteps approached, and moments later the Grand Elder, Elder Sophia, Allen, and Jian entered together.Jian was the first to properly look at Kai.His brows pulled together almost immediately.“So when exactly did you two come back?”Kai leaned into his chair with the relaxed expression of someone being asked about something completely unimportant. “A while ago.”Allen stared at him. “A while?”Kai nodded.The Grand Elder’s eyes narrowed. “You returned and didn’t tell anyone?”“Well…” Kai rubbed his chin, pretending to think about h
Chapter 761: One Last Battle
The purge left the wasteland noticeably thinner.Entire sections that had been crowded only an hour earlier now had gaps running through them, with several camps already being dismantled as the people Kai had expelled gathered their belongings and prepared to leave. Some went quietly, too frightened to risk attracting his attention again, while others carried the bitter expressions of people who still believed their punishment had been unfair but possessed enough sense to keep those thoughts inside their heads. The dead were removed quickly, the wounded treated, and what remained of the alliance slowly reorganized itself around those who had chosen to stay loyal when it mattered.Emily watched all of it from the edge of the gathering.Kai stood nearby with his hands behind his back, looking almost bored now that the internal problem had finally been dealt with. Abigail was speaking with Elder Harkan a short distance away, while Vivienne stood farther off with several people from the d
