“Cyrus, are you and Miss Korah...?”

Ekialde handed the tea respectfully to Cyrus. He asked the question tentatively.

“Stop asking about my personal life.” Cyrus remembered his promise to Korah. Although she was hot-tempered, she was a kind person.

Otherwise, she would not have prepared a sleeping mat and blanket for Cyrus in advance.

So, Cyrus felt that he should not destroy Korah’s reputation.

After Cyrus helped his master repay his favor, he would leave and return to his village and wait for his master to come back.

“Alright!”

Ekialde was impressed by Cyrus’ skills. As people who had first-hand experience of Cyrus' fighting skills, they could attest to the fact that he was really strong. And two, Cyrus could immediately stop the bleeding and remove their bruises so that they would not feel uncomfortable.

They were just a group of people who always caused trouble and were given up by their families. So, they admired Cyrus a lot when they saw that he was capable.

“What’s the situation in Team Four?” Cyrus felt that he needed to know more about these rich second generations.

Ekialde felt awkward and spoke bashfully, “Cyrus, actually, people call Team Four the garbage heap... I know it sounds quite embarrassing, but we’re all used to it.”

“All of us are not the only children in our family, and you know how people hate being compared to someone else? Well, people always compare us to our better siblings… We’re not good at studying or sports, and we’re bad at everything we do. However, we cause the most trouble…

“Especially me, I had offended the son of Haco Corporation’s Mr. Robinson. My family is worried about letting me out of the house, because they think that Haco Corporation will send someone to break my limbs...”

Cyrus understood what he meant. Team Four did not have much work to do. The people in this group existed only for one purpose: to muddle around.

“Does Team Four not have any assigned work?”

“Uhm, not much... Sometimes, we’ll take the initiative to send some agreements and get signatures, or even run some errands to get a bonus...”

Cyrus was speechless. Was this group really just a garbage heap?

“Is there anything Gardner Corporation needs to solve but can’t get done?”

Ekialde looked dreary when he heard this. “Cyrus, do you think trash like us would know about things like that?”

‘That’s true…’ Cyrus shook his head and sighed. It seemed like Wade and Korah sent him over here to humor Lufian.

At this time, Cyrus’ phone rang.

Alda was calling him.

“Cyrus, are you free now?” Alda asked with a hopeful tone.

“Yes. What is it?”

“My grandfather wanted you to come over to the hospital...”

Dr. Cohen?

Cyrus replied, “Okay. I will go over now.”

“I’ll wait for you at the hospital.” Alda ended the call happily.

“I’ll step out for a while.” Cyrus glanced at Ekialde, stood up, and left.

“Cyrus, don’t worry. I’ll deal with Miss Korah for you!” Ekialde patted his chest confidently.

Cyrus thanked him with a wave of his hand.

As he walked out of the office, his colleagues from the project department looked at him.

They were surprised that Cyrus looked totally fine. Then, what was with the huge ruckus from Team Four’s office just now?

“Mr. Long, are we going to find Miss Korah now?” Nigel went up and asked.

“Why? Are you going to snitch on Cyrus to Miss Korah?” Ekialde turned and glared at Nigel.

Nigel cowered. “Are we going to just admit defeat? He is just a newcomer...”

Ekialde snorted. “You’re too naive. Do you think that Cyrus is like any normal person? Miss Korah asked us to teach him a lesson, but doesn’t want anyone else to know about it.”

“Also, Cyrus seems to be able to ask favors of Mr. Gardner directly. Do you think that our grandfathers will go up against Mr. Gardner for trash like us?”

“If you think you’re so great, why would you be in this garbage heap?”

Talia felt aggrieved and said, “Mr. Long, stop calling us garbage. It’s so embarrassing...”

Ekialde did not want to continue the conversation with these fools.

Ekialde did not want to offend Cyrus unless Cyrus left the project department!

Otherwise... he was worried that he might get beaten by Cyrus every day!

……

“Dad, you asked for me?” Korah walked into the chairman’s office.

Wade showed a gloomy look and said, “We have identified the people who attacked you yesterday.”

Korah’s expression froze a little. Wade continued, “They are Marino’s subordinates.”

“Mr. Hunt’s subordinates...” Korah’s expression changed. “Why...?”

“It’s Haco Corporation that was supporting Marino.”

Korah breathed in slowly. “Because of the International Prosperous Project…?”

“Haco from the Haco Corporation did all kinds of illegal things before turning over a new leaf. Marino was his subordinate during that time...”

Wade had a dreary look. “So, I’m not surprised that he asked Marino to attack you...”

Korah felt a chill run down her spine. She knew they should not mess with these people, especially Haco Robinson, who would do anything to achieve his goals. He was probably trying to threaten them yesterday.

Haco Corporation had a larger amount of capital than Gardner Corporation. So, it would be difficult for Gardner Corporation to obtain the International Prosperous Project.

Furthermore, there were more than ten corporations targeting the International Prosperous Project within Atralo.

Gardner Corporation had hit a bottleneck in its development. So, if they managed to get the International Prosperous Project, the company could have a massive leap in its development.

However, if Haco Corporation obtained this project, it might end up acquiring Gardner Corporation in the future…

“Dad... are we going to give up?” Korah was not willing to give up, as they had been preparing for this project for a long time!

“We can’t give up... I heard that Mr. Penn had come over to Fliton City. Your grandfather knows many people, and maybe he’ll have the opportunity to meet people from the Penn family. If the Penn family can help us, we will certainly obtain the International Prosperous Project.”

Korah mumbled once she heard this. “You mean the Penn family...?”

She smiled bitterly and shook her head. She knew that the hope was too slim!

There would surely be other families who would ask for help from the Penn family. If they wanted the Penn family to help them, they would need to form a close relationship with them. The question was, what sort of relationship would that be?

……

Cyrus walked out of the building. Suddenly, he frowned.

Someone was spying on him!

He originally wanted to call a cab to Thousand Medicine Pharmacy. But he changed his mind. He decided to walk and went into a dark alley.

Then, two men showed up at the corner and blocked the exit.

Cyrus turned back and asked bemusedly, “Aren’t you guys the ones who showed up yesterday?”

The two men rushed up and attacked Cyrus without any hesitation!

Cyrus frowned. The two men acted directly without hesitation. They did not even waste any time talking!

Swish!

One of the men held a dagger and swiped it at Cyrus’ throat. Cyrus stepped back and looked unhappy. “Such a ruthless attack... You guys are too dangerous, and I can’t let you leave this place alive!”

After talking, Cyrus tapped the ground with his feet, leapt up, and jumped behind them.

Then, he moved quickly, came closer to them, and punched them twice.

Snap!

The sound of bones breaking could be heard, and the breast bones of the two men sank slightly into their chests. They spat out a mouthful of blood!

The two men were horrified and immediately turned to escape!

    Cyrus watched as the duo turned tail and ran. After a moment, he chased after them. These two were ruthless and had wanted to kill him. He could not just let them go. He must figure out who the mastermind was and kill that person. Otherwise, it would simply be too troublesome if this happened time and again.‘Mr. Frank is right. The city is full of complicated people, and they’re dangerous to boot.’Even after Cyrus caught up to the fleeing duo, they did not notice him. He just kept on following them until he entered a five-star hotel called Ember Hotel. “Looks like the mastermind is in the hotel,” Cyrus mumbled and entered the building. ……A plump man in his forties sat in the VIP room located high up in the hotel. He had a number of rings on his fingers, and he was sitting on the couch right in the middle of the room. The man was staring at a person’s photo on his phone, and that person in question was Cyrus. “Heh… And here I thought that Wade Gardner found his daughte

    The bespectacled man was Eos, Marino’s godson. He had done plenty of things for Marino before. At this very moment, Eos was scared out of his wits. “Why were you guys targeting Korah?” Cyrus squatted down and stared at Eos quizzically. “M-Mr. Hunt received orders from the CEO of Haco Corporation. He wants Mr. Hunt to capture Korah so that he can threaten Wade Gardner into giving up on bidding for the International Prosperous Project…”“Is this project really important to Gardner Corporation?” Cyrus asked. “Very… Gardner Corporation transferred most of its funds to fund this project, and they also rejected many other projects…”After a moment of thought, Cyrus asked, “What will happen to Gardner Corporation if they don’t take on this project?” Eos gulped. “Haco Corporation wants to absorb Gardner Corporation. If Gardner Corporation doesn’t manage to take the project, Wade Gardner won’t be able to use those funds, and they’ll just end up as idle funds.”Cyrus pondered this.

    In his office in Gardner Corporation, Wade was looking down at some documents. Suddenly, his secretary walked in. “Mr. Gardner, Haco Corporation’s Mr. Robinson is here.”‘Haco Robinson?’Wade was taken momentarily by surprise before his gaze turned sharp, and his expression became icy cold. “Bring him to the reception room. I’ll head over now.”“Alright.” The secretary turned around to make those arrangements. Wade sat in his office and fell into deep thought. ‘Why did Haco Robinson come?’Three minutes later, he got up and went to the reception room. “It’s been a long while, Mr. Gardner!” Haco was dressed in a gray suit, and there was a teasing smile on his awe-inspiring face. Wade said coolly, “You wouldn’t have come for no reason, Mr. Robinson. Why did you ask to see me?”Haco grinned. “Why are you so cold, Mr. Robinson? I heard that my niece was surrounded while she was walking on the streets and nearly got into an accident. That’s why I came! I’m worried about her!”

    Without Korah and Wade around, Ekialde and the others were abnormally obedient and respectful toward Cyrus. “Do you know about the International Prosperous Project?” Cyrus asked.Ekialde was slightly stunned before he asked, “Don’t you know about it? The company has been preparing for this project for around five months.”“Is the probability of them getting the project high?” Cyrus asked. “That, I don’t know. But I think the probability is quite low. I heard that they have already decided on who is getting the project. The person with the greatest support will be the one getting it.”“Does Haco Corporation have someone supporting it?”“Of course! I heard that the person supporting Haco Corporation is quite powerful. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been avoiding going up against Haco Corporation over the years of development.”Cyrus then thought about what Eos had said and asked, “Is Gardner Corporation going to go bankrupt if it doesn’t get the project?”“That’s an exaggeration,

    Once Cyrus agreed to attend the birthday party, Truman immediately told Redmond about it. Zedekiah was ecstatic after he learned about it, because he intended to use the chance to repair his and Cyrus’ relationship.“Dad, Dr. Cohen said that Cyrus will come with him. We don’t need to give Cyrus the invitation then, right?” Redmond said. “Yes. Remember to drive over and pick them up,” Zedekiah said. “By the way, don’t forget to send an invitation to the Gardner family as well.”Redmond nodded. “I’m getting it ready.”Zedekiah said coolly, “Marino Hunt is a powerful person in Fliton City. Why did he suddenly die? Something strange must have happened. His godson doesn’t seem like someone who can do such a big thing either.”“Are you saying that this has something to do with Cyrus?”Redmond thought that his father was a little off in his head. Marino Hunt had plenty of powerful fighters. How could Cyrus possibly kill him? What a joke. “There’s no way. When Marino Hunt died, Cyru

    Cyrus answered, “My master owes Mr. Lufian a favor, and I’m there to return it on his behalf. “I’m just staying at their place for the time being. Mr. Lufian is kind to me.”He remembered Korah’s warning and did not tell anyone else about their fake marriage. “I see…” Zedekiah felt as if a veil had been lifted over his head, and he looked at Redmond. “Tell Mr. Battson that he is to hand the International Prosperous Project to the Gardner family.”Redmond nodded. “I’ve already told him through the phone.”Cyrus was momentarily stunned before he asked, “You have a say in the International Prosperous Project?”Truman spoke up beside him, “It seems like you do not quite understand the Penn family, Cyrie. There are only a few things that the Penn family cannot decide upon in Atralo.”Was this what Mr. Frank meant by famous families and powerful families?Cyrus hesitated before he said, “Thank you… But you can’t just hand over something without asking for a price…”Zedekiah immedi

    Korah and Wade were in shock and disbelief when they saw Cyrus standing under the spotlight on the stage beside Zedekiah.Lufian’s eyes were wide as he watched Cyrus walk across the stage. He could not believe what he was seeing.Zedekiah was important, and it was practically impossible to meet someone like him, let alone be able to stand beside him. Cyrus felt resigned. He truly did not like to be in the spotlight. Mr. Frank once told him that keeping a low profile was the kingly way. If Zedekiah had not helped Gardner Corporation with its wish to have the International Prosperous Project, he would never have agreed to this.“Cyrus, is there something you want to say?” Zedekiah asked with a smile. Cyrus shook his head, looking uninterested. Zedekiah was a wise man. He naturally noticed Cyrus’ demeanor and laughed cheerfully. “Since Cyrus has nothing to say, I have something to say…”After some polite remarks, he asked the waiters to start serving delicious food for the aud

    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

    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.

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?

    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.

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.
