“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
Nathan was not scared because he had Haco Corporation to support him no matter what happened.“Who the h*ll are you? How dare you meddle in my business!”“Do you believe that I can make you unable to leave this hotel!”Cyrus said faintly, “I don’t believe it.”“D*mn! Do you want to die?!”Nathan took the wine bottle from the table and threw it at Cyrus. Cyrus could easily avoid the wine bottle that was flying toward him. He moved toward Nathan and kicked him.“Ah—”Nathan staggered backward and fell onto the dining table. “You… b*stard! Who the h*ll are you! Tell me your name!”Nathan was mad. He almost had his hands on Korah, but suddenly, someone showed up and ruined his plan.“I’m just a staff in Gardner Corporation.”After he finished speaking, Cyrus walked toward Nathan. How could an alcoholic and lustful person like Nathan be a match for him?Bang!Cyrus pressed Nathan’s head hard on the table. Nathan’s face almost got disfigured and stained with blood. “Ah…”N
And this was the person Zedekiah wanted to introduce to Cyrus.Edmund smiled. “That’s great. I should get to know such a talented man!”For Edmund, having a meal with Zedekiah and Redmond was like a pathway to success provided by God.Plus, if the news of him having a meal with Zedekiah and Redmond made its way into media reports, his status would improve greatly. And this was possible because of the young man named Cyrus, who worked for Gardner Corporation. Edmund could tell that Zedekiah cared a lot about Cyrus. Cyrus, who got treated well by Zedekiah, must have a unique background. Edmund wanted to grab this opportunity to get to know him!Edmund knew that he needed to build a good relationship with Cyrus. Zedekiah smiled and looked at Redmond. “Could you give Cyrus a call to see if he is on his way? If not, you can go and pick him up.”Redmond nodded. “Okay.”He immediately called Cyrus.Edmund was shocked when he heard that Zedekiah was asking Redmond to go and pick
Hiss!Nathan woke up after being called by his men. His wounds had been cleaned and dressed by his subordinates. “Get lost! You guys are useless!”Nathan kicked away the subordinates who were beside him. He was furious when he thought about what had just happened.“He can fight, right? I want to see how well he can fight!”Nathan’s expression was ferocious. He took out his phone and made a phone call. “Bring thirty men over and wait for me at the basement parking lot of Ember Hotel!”After he hung up, he could feel the pain in his back and face. He vented his anger by throwing things. ‘Bloody h*ll! That man ruined my plan! I won’t forgive him!’He only got angrier as he thought about it. Then, he called his colleagues. “George, I remember that you had performed a quality check on the Gardner Corporation project, right? Tell me some flaws you found!”“Julius, aren’t you in charge of one of the projects of Gardner Corporation? Get me some negative news about this project!”
“Stop it!”Edmund immediately finished peeing and ran toward Cyrus. He had decided to keep a good relationship with Cyrus no matter the cost!But when he returned, Edmund saw Nathan ordering his men to attack Cyrus.He was startled when he saw what Nathan was trying to do.“Nathan Zuniga! You, useless man! What are you trying to do to Mr. Salazar?!”Nathan felt a chill run down his spine. When he turned around, he saw Edmund. He stammered, “Mr... Cartmill…”The gangsters around him also stopped moving. Edmund wore a gloomy expression. He stared at Nathan and was furious. Bang!Edmund raised his palm and slapped Nathan hard. Nathan’s face was already injured. This slap made him feel even more pain, causing his body to tremble vigorously. “Mr. Zuniga! You’re very cool, huh?! You’re even more impressive than me now!”Nathan trembled and said, “No…”Edmund glared at those gangsters fiercely, “Don’t you know how to leave?”These people understood that they could not offe
It was about 9 p.m. when Korah woke up. She sat up scared, looked around, and realized that she was home. What happened? Was she not at Ember Hotel? Why was she back?Delilah walked into the room. When she saw that Korah was finally awake, she asked worriedly, “Korah, how do you feel?”“Mom…” Korah calmed herself down and shook her head. “I’m fine… Why am I home now?”“Four bodyguards brought you home. It was too dangerous. You almost fell into the trap. If it weren’t for them… I’m not sure what would have happened to you.”When Mrs. Gardner remembered seeing the four bodyguards carry an unconscious Korah in, she was terrified!Korah sighed in relief. “I’m so grateful for them. If not for them, I would be…”Korah was also scared of what had almost happened. Nathan Zuniga was a b*stard!“Don’t worry. Your dad has rewarded those four bodyguards. When you’re back at the office tomorrow, do remember to say thank you to them.”“I will.” Korah nodded. Korah was impressed that t
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
