The old man who was talking to the Frith patriarch jolted and avoided the door that was flying his way.“Who is it?!” The old man looked in the door’s direction furiously.Kayson walked in impassively. When the old man saw that it was a young man, his rage burned brighter. “Kid, do you want to die?”“You’re the one who started the fire?” Kayson asked curtly.The old man froze before gasping, “You’re… Kayson Yarde?”He looked terrified before turning and throwing a fire punch to shatter the glass, planning to jump down and escape. Kayson smirked and gathered the lightning energy in his palm before he flicked his hand to shoot a black arrow.Swoosh! The old man’s legs were hit, and his calves were separated from his thighs on the spot right after his knees.“Argh!” The old man collapsed on the floor.As Kayson walked over to him, he stepped on the latter and picked up his phone to ask, “The Friths?”The Frith patriarch’s tone was steely on the other end of the line. “It’s me,
Kayson nodded. Zachary did not dare stall, so he went away immediately.Simon exclaimed, “Mr. Yarde, you have something as precious as Lejade Freis? It’s super-rare on the market.”Lejade Freis was a tonic herb that helped specifically with wound recovery and did not come cheap. It could easily be auctioned for $15,000,000-30,000,000 on the market.“I was lucky enough to get two.”Simon sighed. “Mr. Wolfenden is lucky then.”Kayson went over and cleared some of the bruised blood for Liam by delivering his energy vibration through acupuncture. About an hour later, Zachary came back with the herb.Kayson began to concoct the medicine, and Simon dared not stay to watch. Kayson brewed some medicinal juice with it, using part of it externally and part of it for ingestion. He then left a prescription. “Dr. Ewell, Mr. Zinn, take care of Uncle Liam for me.“I need to head out to do something and will probably only be back at the break of dawn.”Zachary nodded. “Do you want me to info
All three grandmasters were defeated by Kayson in the blink of an eye. One was injured, one was dead, and the last one was crippled!This abrupt chain of events terrified all the masters in the Friths’ place. Three powerful grandmasters had been taken out just like this? This young man was also a grandmaster, but why was the contrast so vast? It was unheard of!“Stop it!”An enraged voice bellowed, and the Friths, who finally got changed, rushed out. The middle-aged man leading the pack glowered. He was the patriarch of the family, Clifford. Beside him was his younger brother, Caleb Frith.As for the others, they were direct descendants of the Friths who either held executive rights or some sort of authority in the family or were in charge of the companies.Clifford looked at Kayson and said unnervingly, “Yarde, you actually had the guts to come.”Kayson kicked Master Mason, who had been severely burned, away and the latter fell right in front of Clifford.“I’m here to ask for t
“Two, I want Tyrese Shore back in his position… Oh, not necessarily. He could do the job in Skyspring too, but that’d require half a promotion.”Clifford snapped, “You think I call the shots in Skyspring?”Kayson asked in surprise, “Hmm, isn’t that the case? Mr. Frith, didn’t you transfer Tyrese over with just one order?”Clifford glowered and huffed, “I can agree to the second condition but I can’t meet the first one.“It was not entirely my choice to target Michael Whitman. The Millers and the Osborns were involved too!”“Oh?” Kayson could not help arching a brow. The Millers and the Osborns? They really refused to back down, huh?“Alright then, make sure Michael is fine in Skyspring with Chase, or I’ll make sure the Friths are wiped out.”Kayson turned to leave but kept talking. “Go to Clouspring to apologize and recompense the Wolfendens personally after sunrise!“Try to brush it off… and we’ll see if the Smasher behind you can keep you safe.”After Kayson vanished, even m
He had simply tried it out? Sadie trained her gaze on Kayson. Had it really been a case of “simply trying it out” last night? It had looked nothing like that when she had seen how nonchalant he was. He had been full of confidence and composure!Sadie looked at him for a while longer and gave up when she realized that staring at him to pressure him did not seem to be doing anything.Then, Liam called out weakly, “Kayson… thank you.”He had found out what had happened. If it were not for Kayson, millions of dollars of construction materials would have become nothing but charcoal before they could be sent to the sites.Kayson smiled. “I’m also a part of the company. It’s my duty and responsibility to minimize the company’s loss.”Liam’s gaze on Kayson was tinged with regret. He really should not have treated Kayson the way he had back then…“Uncle Liam, rest as much as you can. Your injury will heal soon.”Liam asked, “Do you… need help with anything?”Kayson glanced at Sadie and
He had absolute trust in Kayson, without even a tinge of doubt.A couple of minutes later, Hugh’s skin began to turn red. Kayson needled him in time and a wave of energy spread in Hugh’s body. It calmed the redness down, and Hugh seemed to be reinvigorated instantly.“My… inner energy has recovered!”The old man, who was in his sixties, had tears welling in his eyes. Since he had gotten injured, he had not dared hope he would be healed. He had accepted reality a long time ago.It was simply unexpected that he had met Kayson.“Heaven has mercy!” Hugh could barely contain his emotions and was alarmed when he looked at Kayson. He could not feel any sign of Kayson’s presence, so with a slight raise of his brow, he punched the latter.Kayson blocked his fist with a finger and told him weakly, “Grandpa Hugh, stop testing me.”Hugh did not seem surprised as he sighed and said, “Back when I met your mentor, it was like seeing an immortal.“You’re his apprentice. It’s normal that you’
Clifford and Caleb left after bowing, leaving Liam and Sadie, who were silent, alone in the room. The two of them were wondering what Kayson had done to pressure a big shot like Clifford into coming to apologize in person.When Beatrice came to deliver food, she was puzzled upon taking in how the father and daughter looked. She asked, “What’s the matter with you guys?”Liam shook his head. He did not know what to say. As for Sadie, she looked out of the window in a trance. Who knew what she was thinking…After the Frith brothers came back from Clouspring, they began to work on Tyrese’s transfer immediately.Tyrese was transferred to the forestry department. He used to be the mayor of Clouspring, and it did feel awful to be transferred there, but he knew that he was powerless to change anything. Even Chase had told him directly that he was unable to help, so what else could he have done?Since he was already there, he might as well focus and get to work. He was not one to bemoan hi
Kayson looked up in surprise. “Mm, and you are?”The young man seemed pleased as he extended a hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m Felix Phillius from Skyspring!“Back at the Roselle Lodge, my grandfather and I were in Room No.2. We wanted the Lightning Wood too, but it’s a pity that you bid for it.”Kayson then recalled that two rooms had bid for the Lightning Wood at the Roselle Lodge’s auction back then. Room No.1 had been Gerald and Rose Templar, while Room No.2 had placed a bid too and given up a moment later.“Nice to meet you. I’m Kayson Yarde.”Felix smiled. “You seem to be older than me. Do you mind if I call you Kayson?”“Anything goes.”Felix then asked, “Kayson, are you alone? Do you want to eat with us?”Kayson was about to answer when a girl in her twenties from Felix’s group glanced over coldly and mocked him. “Felix, our table is no place for any Tom, Dick, or Harry.“Sure, be generous if that’s what you want, but don’t include us. We aren’t interested in dining with
