After the banquet ended, Lufian and the rest of the Gardner family went to the Ember Hotel.

Michael, Mr. Battson’s secretary, was already waiting downstairs.

When he noticed them entering the lobby, he hurriedly rushed over.

“Mr. Gardner!” Michael smiled warmly.

“Michael!” Lufian took the initiative and stretched out his hand.

Michael took his hand and shook it. He then said with a smile, “Mr. Battson is already upstairs waiting. Let me lead the way.”

“Alright. Thank you, Michael!”

Lufian felt a little nervous, but excited as well!

After a while, they reached presidential suite No. 2002.

Michael led them in. At first glance, Lufian noticed a charismatic middle-aged man with graying hair. It must be Mr. Battson, the man who could decide the ownership of the International Prosperous Project!

“Mr. Gardner, I’ve heard so much about you!”

“Mr. Battson! Sorry for the wait!” Lufian hurriedly approached him.

“It’s okay. Come, take a seat.”

Lufian and the others were a little

    Lufian left the hotel and went home full of doubts. “Grandpa, do you… want to ask Mr. Penn?” Korah was also desperate to know. Lufian shook his head. “That won't work… I thought Mr. Ostwald secretly helped us… But I was wrong. I even treated him politely and showed my appreciation during the banquet!”“Turns out it has nothing to do with him! This old… truly doesn’t know shame!”Lufian felt extremely angry at the thought of Daxon taking the credit. ‘This man truly knows no shame!’Apart from his fury, he was extremely curious about who had helped them. ‘Could it be… Cyrus?’When they reached the villa, Lufian saw that the lights were on and said in a soft voice, “Cyrus must be back.”When Korah entered the living room, she did not see Cyrus. Her expression instantly changed.She rushed upstairs and opened the door to her room.Sure enough, Cyrus was sleeping soundly on the floor.Korah looked at the underwear on her bed. She blushed, and hastily closed the door. She swi

    Before Ekialde could finish speaking, a loud noise rang out and the phone call was cut off. Cyrus froze. He then immediately searched for the location that Ekialde mentioned and rushed there. ……When Cyrus reached Juglans Bar on Carmine Street, he pushed open the door and went in. It was dimly lit and the whole place smelled like a mixture of unpleasant things.Bang!The lights suddenly turned on, and the bar instantly became bright as day. “Well, looks like someone is looking for trouble,” said someone sarcastically. Cyrus immediately looked toward the booth seats.The man who spoke was sitting on the couch. Ekialde, Talia, Nigel, and the rest of them were there too. Ekialde’s face was bloody. The person who spoke was stepping on his head. He looked at Cyrus mockingly. Beside him were a few men; some looked bulky and some looked refined. Miguel Robinson laughed mockingly. “Oh, I was scared when my subordinate called for reinforcements. So, it’s him? Just him?”Hi

    Cyrus paused for a while. His gaze was stern and cold!Cyrus ran towards Miguel as fast as an arrow shot from a bow, and instantly kicked him. The couch that Miguel was slammed against broke into pieces. Miguel screamed, and vomited blood. “Oh my…”Instantly, Talia looked at Cyrus with amazement. She was shocked. ‘Cyrus is that strong?!’In the bar, apart from the sound of people moaning in pain, none of the subordinates dared to fight Cyrus.Cyrus checked Ekialde’s injuries. His internal injuries were quite severe. It was obvious that he had been badly beaten for quite some time. Even so, his injuries were not life-threatening. “Send Ekialde to the hospital.”Talia came back to her senses and said timidly, “Cyrus, can we not go to the hospital? We’re afraid of our families finding out…”Cyrus frowned slightly. After seeing Talia’s pitiful expression, he did not know what to do.“Send him to Thousand Medicine Pharmacy.”“Okay!”Talia hurriedly helped Ekialde up. Cy

    Cyrus smiled. “Of course. Even though you guys have been beaten up pretty badly, I think… you all did the right thing.”“I’ll go back to the company and help you all to apply for one week’s leave”Talia felt grateful as she nodded vigorously. After he asked Alda to look after Ekialde and the rest, Cyrus headed back to the company. After he arrived, he helped them apply for one week's leave. After he got off work, he went back to Thousand Medicine Pharmacy. With his help, Ekialde and the rest recovered really quickly. At least their injuries were not as visible. Their family would not find out when they returned home. Of course, Ekialde’s injuries were more severe. He still needed to stay in bed for a couple more days. The next day, Cyrus returned to Team Four’s office. Talia and a few of the team members’ eyes lit up when they saw him. They felt excited and idolized him. “Cyrus!”She called out. Nigel and the few of them stood in a row like they were in the military.

    The moment Cyrus entered Meeting Room 3, most of the people paid attention to him. However, the look they gave him was strange. “Who are you?” A man looked at him arrogantly. “I’m Cyrus Salazar, the assistant team leader of Team Four. Mr. Long is on leave today. I’m here today on his behalf,” Cyrus said. “Team Four?” The man smiled contemptuously, “Mr. Salazar, don’t you think Team Four is such a waste of space? The company needs to pay for the mineral water, you know?”The others lowered their heads and laughed unabashedly when they heard this. Mr. Flores frowned. He quickly relaxed. “Mr. Blanke is in charge of the company's finances. I understand that you want to save the company’s money.“But could it be that our company’s funds are so tight that you need to care about the cost of one mineral bottle?”The chief financial officer snorted. “I just don’t want to waste our resources! Mr. Salazar, don’t be out of line!”Mr. Flores smiled and did not reply. He then talked to

    “Mr. Salazar, you have no right to speak here!” Korah said sternly in a cold voice. Stefano smiled and looked aggrieved for Cyrus. “Ms. Gardner, I don’t think that’s the case. Since Mr. Salazar attended this meeting, he has the right to speak.“Ms. Gardner, aren’t your words too harsh?”Korah clenched her fist. She was fuming!‘Team Four is infamous, even outside the company. Who would want to sign a contract with them?‘What do you know, Cyrus?!’“Ms. Gardner, I think Mr. Blanke is right. Team Four needs to show some results to prove its capability.”Cyrus did not seem to notice what Korah was trying to do as he spoke seriously. Stefano smiled broadly. “I truly admire such an ambitious person like you. If Team Four is able to sign projects worth twenty million dollars and above… “I will acknowledge the team and never again ask to abolish the team.“However, I want Team Four to win this bet on their own. They must not seek any help in secret.”Cyrus nodded and said plainl

    Nigel and the other Team Four members were relieved when they heard that Cyrus had promised to protect them. But Talia was still worried about this matter. Cyrus flipped through Team Four’s work records. Hmm… It was just like what Ekialde had told him. The Team Four members were just running some errands, like sending documents and contracts that had been finalized. “Cyrus… Why don’t you just surrender to Mr. Blanke? I think he is a generous man, and he won’t make things hard for us.”While flipping through documents, Cyrus smiled and said, “Your father is one of the shareholders, but you’re scared of Mr. Blanke?”Talia showed a gloomy expression and said, “I’m just an insignificant person in the family, and my words do not carry much weight. My father just ignores me. The company will only judge you based on your abilities. How can we compete with Mr. Blanke…?” “Besides, Mr. Blanke’s father is the second-largest shareholder in the company. So, his words carry more weight

    “Korah is...”Cyrus frowned. He wondered if everyone simply disliked him. “I need to ask Lufian how big of a favor my master owes him... It’s too difficult to serve Korah.”Anyone who got married to Korah would be unlucky!After sighing, Cyrus immediately followed behind her. …… At Ember Hotel...After Korah parked her car, four strong and fit bodyguards stepped out of the Cadillac beside her car. “Ms. Gardner!”The four bodyguards bowed politely. “Let’s go.” Korah’s expression was dreary. She certainly would not be attending this meeting by herself. She had asked the bodyguards to arrive earlier and wait for her at the hotel's parking lot. She carefully chose these four bodyguards, and they all had great skills. If Nathan dared to attack Korah, these four men would deal with him immediately. Korah huffed coldly as she thought about Cyrus’ advice. She wondered if Cyrus thought that she did not know how to protect herself and needed him to be involved in her busi

    This enraged Abel, so he directly destroyed the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce. The central part of the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce had already turned into ruins. The members who did not get to flee in time were buried underneath the rubble, their state of life unclear.Abel did not care one bit about this.Seth and others were nowhere to be seen, so he had asked Taylor to run a search for them, swiftly coming to the Tinsleys. Then, he found out that Kayson had taken them to Admiralporium for refuge.Abel’s expression was cool and impassive when he came to Admiralporium again.Felicity, Shien, Campian, and the others who had returned appeared in unison to stop them.Taylor scoffed. “Has Admiralporium stooped to become Kayson Yarde’s lackey? How cheap and despicable. I’ll report it honestly when I go back!”Felicity looked frosty as she ignored Taylor and behaved professionally.“If you’re here as guests, Admiralporium welcomes you. But if you’re here for trouble, you’re prohibi

    Kayson did not have the courage to perform mind expansion in Admiralporium because it was not an ordinary place. On the other hand, Chase had never taken him to the weapon warehouse either. Otherwise, he would have discovered the septmetal energy here. He had the vulcan fire energy of the fire element, evergreene energy of the wood element, the aquale energy of the water element, and the septmetal energy of the metal element that he was about to harvest. He had already gathered four out of the five energies of five elements. He would have all five elements by the time he gathered the earth energy. Moreover, he would become a smasher who possessed a darksoul and a lightsoul. Warren appeared astounded upon hearing Kayson’s remark. ‘Is there really something impressive in the tattered spear?’He was a warlord, yet how did he not notice it?Even though he held the post of Admiralporium’s chief, he would frequently travel because there were very few disastrous incidents in Skyriv.

    ’Why would I need a hammer?’ Kayson was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. “Have you ever heard of Heavenless?”Warren’s pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, “I’ve heard it before, of course! This is an extremely well-known sword technique!“Delmont Hamilton from Northspring fought against the most skilled sword genius, Ezekiel Turner, by using Heavenless in the past!”“Do you think I can break the defense of the Cadogans’ Steel Screen man if I can perform the first form of Heavenless that is a hundred times more powerful than Mr. Hamilton Sr.’s move?”Warren stood up from his seat swiftly and said incredulously, “Y-You’re trained in Heavenless too!? I thought the sword technique had vanished together with Delmont?”Next to him, Master Shannong said, “Could it be that Delmont… is still alive?”Kayson nodded and said, “Mr. Hamilton Sr. is still alive and passed down Heavenless to me.“However, I don’t have a sword that is strong enough because ordinary swords can’t withstand

    Kayson was pondering when the sound of rushed footsteps was heard coming from outside the Tinsleys’ home. He raised his head to look and said in astonishment, “Mr. Jackson, Master Shannong, what brings you here?”Seth’s head was drenched in a cold sweat as he said in fear, “The Cadogans are here, Mr. Yarde. They are planning on killing me, my son, and Master Shannong.“We packed up overnight and took most of our credit cards as well as our asset contracts with us. We came looking for you in a haste after learning that you’re at the Tinsleys’ home, Mr. Yarde.”Master Shannong was a skilled fighter, so he remained calm and composed despite being under the immense pressure caused by the Cadogans. Seth and Lex were different. They were panic-stricken and regarded Kayson as their only chance of survival. “Mr. Yarde, will you be able to deal with the Cadogans?” Seth looked at Kayson in a hopeful manner.Kayson shook his head. “I think that there’s a high probability of failure for

    Chase’s expression changed ever so slightly. “Shall we inform Kayson then?”“Hmm, reach out to him and inform him that this man has already completed his Steel Screen training and that he is able to make a clean sweep of Skyriv if he wants. If Kayson were to get into a conflict with this man, he would most certainly be on the losing side.”…Kayson arrived at the Tinsleys’ home. Jeremy did not come forward to welcome his arrival, but it was Tyrone. He asked when he met Tyrone, “Grandpa Tyrone, where is Uncle Jeremy?”Tyrone heaved a sigh and said, “Jeremy has been summoned for a discussion. I just found out that there has been pressure from Metrocity’s Cadogans.”Kayson furrowed his eyebrows. ‘It’s the Cadogans from Metrocity again!’“Is Uncle Jeremy in danger?”Tyrone shook his head. “Don’t worry about his safety. It’s only that… the Cadogans will try to figure out a way to send Jeremy to jail.”Kayson was astonished. It would be his fault if Jeremy was framed and sent to

    As soon as Taylor’s voice died away, Drake came running to them, his face ghastly pale. “Patrol Yost, Mr. Cadogan, Warren… Chief Kline and the others are back!”Drake’s expression was filled with fear and panic. Randall had told him that Warren was doomed after being encircled by many warlords.Yet, he did not expect that Randall would be beaten to death by Kayson not long after his return. On the other hand, Warren returned safely, while Chase and Ruby were fine as well.If that were the case, he was certain that he would be taken out as well in view of being Randall’s trusted subordinate!Drake remained panic-stricken. So what if the Cadogans were involved? Taylor and the Cadogans could walk away without any responsibility at any moment. How about him? He would still need to continue to hold his post in Admiralporium!Meanwhile, three figures with overbearing auras appeared before Abel and the others.The leading person was precisely Warren.Warren glanced at Drake before

    Taylor had very little experience interacting with body practitioners, yet he had heard about Steelification Doyen’s grand reputation. He figured that Steelification Doyen’s reputation must not be so unworthy, right?Noticing Taylor’s disbelief, Abel smiled nonchalantly and said, “Master Steele, Patrol Yost is not a body practitioner, so why don’t you show him the power of Steel Screen?”Tegan, who looked to be a little over 50 years old, stood up. Taylor’s expression changed ever so slightly. He had experience fighting against Kayson, so he believed that he had a right to comment on Kayson’s capability. On the other hand, Tegan was a newly-recruited skilled fighter of the Cadogans, whom he had never heard of before.The Steel Screen’s reputation was widely-known, but he had never encountered skilled fighters trained in the Steel Screen. As such, he had no idea how powerful they could be.“Alright, I shall give it a try then!”Taylor did not reject the offer. Both of them arri

    Kayson said with a calm expression, “I know. Don’t worry about that. These people are coming for me.”Beckham’s expression was solemn, and he appeared even more worried. “Mr. Yarde, do you know which influential figure or family from Metrocity it is specifically?”“Ah, I know. It’s the Cadogans from Metrocity.”Beckham and Christine’s expressions changed drastically in unison at once. “The Cadogans… from Metrocity?”Both of them were rendered speechless from fear.Christine’s face turned ghastly pale when she said, “H-How did you offend the Cadogans from Metrocity? You’ve truly broken the limits of mankind!”Beckham also said in a fearful tone, “The Cadogans from Metrocity… Mr. Yarde, we’re in deep trouble! Even though the Cadogans are based in Metrocity, they’re immensely powerful.“They can still affect our business in Skyspring despite being miles away!”Kayson smiled and said casually, “You will only need to manage the company’s operations. I will deal with the Cadogans f

    Casey’s expression changed dramatically upon noticing the situation. He pointed at her and said in a stern voice, “You ungrateful wench! Since all of you wish to die so badly, I shall fulfill your wish!”Meanwhile, the boardroom’s door was blasted open by force, and Kayson walked into the room with long strides. He looked toward Casey and said nonchalantly, “Who did you say you’re going to kill?”Christine turned around abruptly and felt instantly relieved when she saw Kaysson was there. After all, the company belonged to Kayson, and she did not wish anything bad to happen to it.Hence, she showed her humility when she was dealing with these people. A slightly resentful gaze emerged on Christine’s face with light makeup on. “Boss, I was truly afraid that I wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure if you still didn’t show up.”Kayson was rendered speechless. He said, “You’re a skilled fighter, yet you are scared of him?”Christine said in frustration, “I didn’t dare to fight
