Master Rocher scoffed and said, âJairo? Heâs the weakest amongst all the grandmaster-level fighters. It would be an insult to me if you compared me to someone like him.âIf heâs at Jairoâs level, I can beat ten of him!â Westinâs heart skipped a beat when he heard what Master Rocher said, and he said, âMaster Rocher, if you beat the hell out of this kid, Iâll give you $3,000,000!â Humans would do anything within their means to become rich, just like birds would do anything to get their hands on food. Master Rocherâs eyes glowed when he heard the amount of money Westin was offering him.âHahaha! Sure! Itâs a deal!âMaster Rocher opened his arms, kicked the floor, and dashed toward Kayson. He raised his leg high in the air, just like a crane, and brought it down with a mighty swipe. Kayson was shocked. âThe Divine Crane?â Master Rocher shouted, âSeems like youâre not entirely ignorant either!âKayson hastily took a step back. Master Rocherâs feet landed on the ground, and the
âThe Admiralporium's special task force agent? Heâs here to investigate something?âWestin had helped Mr. Denn with a lot of evil deeds, so he knew very well that Mr. Denn was not innocent. If Kayson had really been sent by the Admiralporium, it meant that the Admiralporium already had their eyes on Mr. Denn!âIâll give you some time to think about it. Come to me after you make up your mind.â Just as Kayson turned around and was about to go upstairs, Philipâs voice rang out from the door. âMr. Yarde!â Kayson turned around, only to see Philip and two other people walking into the hall.âCaptain Murphy,â Kayson replied. Philip walked toward Kayson with a few quick steps and looked at Westin in surprise. âMr. Sully? What are you doing here? You look pale. Do you need me to call you a doctor?âThe corner of Westinâs lips quivered. âCaptain MurphyâŠâBefore he could finish his sentence, he saw the two men that had come with Philip and he was petrified. âMr⊠Mr. Shore?!âHis f
Royce sighed. âI had someone to look into it, and the thread led us to Cloudia Paragon. However, we didnât know where they were holding Livia hostage, so we didnât dare do anything rash.â âWhat did they ask for after they took Ms. Shore away?ââThey wanted money. They asked me to transfer money into an overseas account. They told me that nothing would happen to Livia as long as I did what they said.âPhilip chimed in exasperatedly, âTheyâre the worst. I will definitely get to the bottom of this! No matter who they are, I wonât forgive them for abducting Livia!ââI looked into the overseas account as well, but Iâve found nothing. I was afraid that something would happen to Livia, so I did what they told me to.âKayson did not make any comments. After all, he wasnât sure if Mr. Denn had been behind the abduction or not. Master Oczen did not know anything either. They had only told him that someone had sent Livia over to them.âIâm sure they already know that I rescued Ms. Shore.
Once Royce left, Philip smiled knowingly. âIâll leave you young people alone then!âOh yeah, Kayson⊠A few of the bodies over at Cloudia Paragon were collected by their families, and theyâve asked me to thank you.âHe sighed after saying that. âMaster Octavius, Master Oczen, and the others are already in jail, and the hearing will be held soonâŠâKayson did not know what to say. He had only scanned the vicinity with mind expansion back then, but that had been enough. Those female corpses⊠had gone through terrible torture before their death, and even their death had not come easy.Kayson felt an impending headache after Philip left.What should he do with Livia? It was not like he could take her to the Wolfendens when he returned to Clouspring. He would not have agreed to meet Royce if he had known. Besides, he was only temporarily staying at Jasonâs place now. It would not be appropriate for him to bring another person over!âMs. ShoreâŠââJust call me Livia.ââLivia, Iâll take
âIâll gift the villa to you, Kayson!âKayson did not refuse upon seeing that he had already made up his mind. He just nodded right away. âIâll take it then.ââHeh, sure. I can take you there now, okay?âKayson nodded and went to Creek Villa, the place that Cody had mentioned, with Livia. They left to get some furniture after confirming the style they were going for.Cody spoke while driving. âYou can go to Taliaâs familyâs Hall Furnishing for furniture. Itâs considered a big brand and it has pretty much everything.âLivia chorused, âHall Furnishing is really famous. Itâs one of the top furniture companies in Skyriv.âKayson had no objections since both of them said so. When they reached one of Hall Furnishingâs outlets, since Kayson did not have any preferences, he let Livia pick what she wanted. While they shopped, Cody paled immediately after receiving a phone call.âWhatâs the matter?â Kayson asked.âMy father said that our family company is under attack. Many suppliers ha
Diego contacted his father immediately and went to the company. His father, Brian Gardner, was currently worrying in his office. The company was not big scale-wise but it was still doing quite well.There were already a few sites that had rejected his construction material supply, and some had even claimed that the material quality was substandard, thus asking for compensation.If one or two companies had claimed so, Brian could still have figured out a way to apply for quality assessment and argue the case, but this was not just one or two! About 80% of the bosses he was working with had told him that they wanted to return the materials.How much money was he going to lose since there was such a large-scale return of building materials going on? In addition, he had new supplies coming in.He had business partners, but they were not involved in the management, so the company was relatively stable for now. Despite that, people would lose their confidence if this went on. Once there
Only a few top companies could work with Shaun Cash.âHahaha, that wonât do. Youâll have to make some money, wonât you? Iâll have someone sign the contract on my behalf. His name is Kayson Yarde.âShaun laughed heartily. âYour son knows him, so just look for him from now on. Anything he says goes.ââOkay, sure. Goodbye, Mr. Cash!ââGoodbye.âWhen they ended the call, Brian gasped and stared at Diego with glowing eyes. âWhoâs this Kayson Yarde he spoke of?âDiego was also shocked that Kayson had done them such a huge favor.âI-Itâs a friend Talia introduced to meâŠâBrian held back the thrill gushing within him. âMaintain a good relationship with him, you hear me? Heâs not a simple guy for sure!âMeanwhile, Leyla went to see her father, Howie Lang, who was speaking on the phone with Finnick.âYes, Mr. Sullivan. Iâll arrange for the delivery right away!âUpon hanging up, Howie was filled with shock.Leyla asked fervently, âDad, has the issue been resolved?âHowie smiled in re
Uncle Zen replied, âItâs true that itâs not been decided yet, but I plan to pick a company from the handful that your fatherâs investing in.ââI have a friend whose family runs a renovation business. Why donât we pass the project to them?â Livia asked.Uncle Zen was surprised. Livia had never gotten involved in company affairs. Why was she suddenly pulling strings for her friend?âAs long as the quality is assured and they donât do a shoddy job or cut corners, I donât have much to say. Itâs just that your dadâŠââIâll talk to him as long as you make the decision.âUncle Zen replied, âAlright then, let me know which company it is. Iâll call them and talk to them first.âLivia shifted her gaze to Cody, whose jaw was slack, and he quickly spoke up. âGreenspringâs Flying Ape Projects Ltd!ââA company from GreenspringâŠ?â Uncle Zen sounded puzzled.The company was not exactly famous, but he said nothing since Livia had recommended it.âLeave it to me, Livia. Iâll get in touch with th
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.Abelâs 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. âHas Admiralporium stooped to become Kayson Yardeâs lackey? How cheap and despicable. Iâll report it honestly when I go back!âFelicity looked frosty as she ignored Taylor and behaved professionally.âIf youâre here as guests, Admiralporium welcomes you. But if youâre here for trouble, youâre 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 Kaysonâs remark. âIs there really something impressive in the tattered spear?âHe was a warlord, yet how did he not notice it?Even though he held the post of Admiralporiumâs chief, he would frequently travel because there were very few disastrous incidents in Skyriv.
âWhy would I need a hammer?â Kayson was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. âHave you ever heard of Heavenless?âWarrenâs pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, âIâve heard it before, of course! This is an extremely well-known sword technique!âDelmont Hamilton from Northspring fought against the most skilled sword genius, Ezekiel Turner, by using Heavenless in the past!ââDo you think I can break the defense of the Cadogansâ Steel Screen man if I can perform the first form of Heavenless that is a hundred times more powerful than Mr. Hamilton Sr.âs move?âWarren stood up from his seat swiftly and said incredulously, âY-Youâre trained in Heavenless too!? I thought the sword technique had vanished together with Delmont?âNext to him, Master Shannong said, âCould it be that Delmont⊠is still alive?âKayson nodded and said, âMr. Hamilton Sr. is still alive and passed down Heavenless to me.âHowever, I donât have a sword that is strong enough because ordinary swords canât withstand
Kayson was pondering when the sound of rushed footsteps was heard coming from outside the Tinsleysâ home. He raised his head to look and said in astonishment, âMr. Jackson, Master Shannong, what brings you here?âSethâs head was drenched in a cold sweat as he said in fear, âThe Cadogans are here, Mr. Yarde. They are planning on killing me, my son, and Master Shannong.âWe 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 youâre at the Tinsleysâ home, Mr. Yarde.âMaster 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. âMr. Yarde, will you be able to deal with the Cadogans?â Seth looked at Kayson in a hopeful manner.Kayson shook his head. âI think that thereâs a high probability of failure for
Chaseâs expression changed ever so slightly. âShall we inform Kayson then?ââHmm, 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.ââŠKayson arrived at the Tinsleysâ home. Jeremy did not come forward to welcome his arrival, but it was Tyrone. He asked when he met Tyrone, âGrandpa Tyrone, where is Uncle Jeremy?âTyrone heaved a sigh and said, âJeremy has been summoned for a discussion. I just found out that there has been pressure from Metrocityâs Cadogans.âKayson furrowed his eyebrows. âItâs the Cadogans from Metrocity again!ââIs Uncle Jeremy in danger?âTyrone shook his head. âDonât worry about his safety. Itâs only that⊠the Cadogans will try to figure out a way to send Jeremy to jail.âKayson was astonished. It would be his fault if Jeremy was framed and sent to
As soon as Taylorâs voice died away, Drake came running to them, his face ghastly pale. âPatrol Yost, Mr. Cadogan, Warren⊠Chief Kline and the others are back!âDrakeâs 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 Randallâs 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 Doyenâs grand reputation. He figured that Steelification Doyenâs reputation must not be so unworthy, right?Noticing Taylorâs disbelief, Abel smiled nonchalantly and said, âMaster Steele, Patrol Yost is not a body practitioner, so why donât you show him the power of Steel Screen?âTegan, who looked to be a little over 50 years old, stood up. Taylorâs expression changed ever so slightly. He had experience fighting against Kayson, so he believed that he had a right to comment on Kaysonâs capability. On the other hand, Tegan was a newly-recruited skilled fighter of the Cadogans, whom he had never heard of before.The Steel Screenâs 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.âAlright, I shall give it a try then!âTaylor did not reject the offer. Both of them arri
Kayson said with a calm expression, âI know. Donât worry about that. These people are coming for me.âBeckhamâs expression was solemn, and he appeared even more worried. âMr. Yarde, do you know which influential figure or family from Metrocity it is specifically?ââAh, I know. Itâs the Cadogans from Metrocity.âBeckham and Christineâs expressions changed drastically in unison at once. âThe Cadogans⊠from Metrocity?âBoth of them were rendered speechless from fear.Christineâs face turned ghastly pale when she said, âH-How did you offend the Cadogans from Metrocity? Youâve truly broken the limits of mankind!âBeckham also said in a fearful tone, âThe Cadogans from Metrocity⊠Mr. Yarde, weâre in deep trouble! Even though the Cadogans are based in Metrocity, theyâre immensely powerful.âThey can still affect our business in Skyspring despite being miles away!âKayson smiled and said casually, âYou will only need to manage the companyâs operations. I will deal with the Cadogans f
Caseyâs expression changed dramatically upon noticing the situation. He pointed at her and said in a stern voice, âYou ungrateful wench! Since all of you wish to die so badly, I shall fulfill your wish!âMeanwhile, the boardroomâs door was blasted open by force, and Kayson walked into the room with long strides. He looked toward Casey and said nonchalantly, âWho did you say youâre going to kill?âChristine 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 Christineâs face with light makeup on. âBoss, I was truly afraid that I wouldnât be able to withstand the pressure if you still didnât show up.âKayson was rendered speechless. He said, âYouâre a skilled fighter, yet you are scared of him?âChristine said in frustration, âI didnât dare to fight
