“Hello, I am Bradley Walton.”The name felt familiar to Sadie, like she had heard it somewhere. Suddenly, realization struck her! It was the Waltons’ previous patriarch—Bradley Walton!“Y-You’re Mr. Walton Sr. from the Waltons?”“That’s me. This is my son, Hogan Walton, my daughter-in-law, Catherine White, and my granddaughter, Yulene Walton.” Bradley smiled.The Waltons had been keeping a low profile in recent years, so Sadie could not recognize them since she had never come in touch with them. She felt a little out of place as they were notable names.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Walton Sr…”“You don’t have to be—”“Mr. Walton Sr., do head back if you don’t have any matter pertaining to us.” Zachary interrupted him abruptly.An experienced old man like Bradley understood Zachary’s hint immediately. Although he had doubts, it would be tactless to ask about it openly.“I won’t hold you up then, Dr. Ewell.” Bradley and his family turned to leave without saying anything to Kayson.A
Kayson frowned slightly, not expecting words to get out so fast. It seemed that the Wolfendens’ third heir did have a lot of attention on him.“Yes.” Kayson had no plan of denying it.“As I expected…” Michael did not admonish or reprimand him but told him in worry, “Come to my place. The Whitmans aren’t comparable to the Wolfendens, but we have support behind us too.“As long as you stay with us, the Wolfendens won’t dare push it even if they come.”Kayson was surprised at the offer and could not help feeling the warmth that gushed within him. He did not expect Michael to be so concerned for him. Michael knew that he had offended the Wolfendens, but he stepped out to protect him instead of keeping a distance from him.“Uncle Michael, it’s fine. I’ll wait for the Wolfendens to come for me.”Michael wanted to say more, but Kayson diverted the topic. “Uncle Michael, I need to find a herb named Bocca Fruit within 36 hours. Do you think you’ll have a way?”“Bocca Fruit… Is it rare?
“Master, it’s me, Lincoln!”“Lincoln? Why are you calling?” A voice that obviously belonged to an old man sounded on the other end of the line.Lincoln began to sob.“Master, help! The seniors who came with me are both dead!”“What happened!?” Lincoln’s mentor was furious as his tone went grim.Lincoln told him about what happened instantly.“Kayson Yarde! How dare you kill my mentee! Very well, I shall forgo my title as the Steelification Doyen if I don’t kill you!”Lincoln was delighted. Would his mentor take revenge personally?“I shall depart in another two days. Stay home and wait. Before your seniors and I arrive, do not fight Kayson Yarde again!”Lincoln jolted. His two other seniors who were like his uncles were coming as well? It was fantastic!“Mmph! Uhh… Uhh!” Tuckson, who was in the wheelchair next to him, kept making noises.Lincoln’s gaze was piercing as he said resentfully, “Dad, don’t worry. With my mentor and seniors taking action together, Kayson will have
Heirein was taken aback. He had not paid any mind to Kayson, who stood beside Lindsy at all, but he did not expect him to insult him like this.“Who do you think you are? You have no place to talk here!” Heirein scowled.Zachary had wanted to back down, but he changed his mind, thinking that he would ask the Tinsleys for help if Heirein did make his father target their medical center.“I’m Lindsy’s boyfriend. Should I be holding back when you’re asking my girlfriend out right in front of me? I wouldn’t call myself a man in that case.”Lindsy gaped at Kayson from the side, feeling her heart thump faster. ‘His b-boyfriend…’ She had never had one before, and she blushed on the spot, her cheeks pinking to the tip of her ears in bashfulness.Zachary perked up in delight but did not show it explicitly.Heirein was furious, though. ‘Her boyfriend? Lindsy already has a boyfriend?’ His gaze turned dark and vicious like a venomous snake.“Lindsy, is he really your boyfriend?” Heirein aske
“The effect should start showing now,” Kayson mumbled as he began to train his grip strength.Three people were not able to sleep tonight.One of them was Heirein, who felt itchy all over.Another one was Lindsy, who was chuckling under her blanket. The last one was Kayson, who had accidentally killed Atticus because he couldn’t control his power.Kayson spent the entire night learning how to control his power and did not rest until dawn.At about eight or nine in the morning, Zachary called him for breakfast.Lindsy had put on light makeup, and it made her look even more charming.While walking beside Kayson, she gained a lot of attention from the crowd, and some even threw envious gazes at Kayson.After they finished their breakfast, they headed to the Roselle Lodge. Today, the Roselle Lodge was having an open house party.Of course, all of the guests who came here were influential figures. Zachary was counted as one, and he was greeted respectfully by the man at the door.
The commotion had caused the guests to start gathering around them.Zachary was someone rather famous, so it went without saying that many people could recognize him.But then again, most of the people who came to the Roselle Lodge today were people of consequences.“Isn’t he Zephyr Hamilton, the patriarch of the Hamiltons?”“Is it true that Zachary killed Mr. Hamilton Sr. with his medical skills? Unbelievable!” “It is true. I heard that Zephyr went to look for Zachary’s help when his father fell sick, and then his father passed away the next day.”“Zachary only told Zephyr that the treatment failed and nothing else. Zephyr was furious and threw him out.”“Why have I never heard of this thing before?”“That’s because a bigwig supported Zachary and prevented the event from escalating.”“Besides, that person who supported Zachary came from a big background. The Hamiltons didn’t want to offend that person, so they didn’t go around and tell people about it.”Kayson had good hear
“Hah! What a cocky brat!” Zephyr sneered coldly. “I’ll take Zachary’s life for sure! I’d like to see what you’re going to do to keep this old thing alive!”Kayson turned his head around to look at Zephyr. Just when he was about to do something, Zachary sighed. “Kayson, don’t. Zephyr hasn’t done anything that deserves him to die.”Zephyr was stunned, and he chuckled, “What do you mean by that, Zachary? You make it sound like this kid could do anything to me.”Lindsy chimed in angrily. “Kayson can kill your man in one punch. Try it yourself if you don’t believe it!”“Really? I can’t wait to see that.” Zephyr scoffed and turned around to walk away.Since the master of the lodge had stepped in, everyone lost their interest and began to go away. The middle-aged man who talked to Kayson earlier on walked forward and handed him a name card.“Young man, let’s make friends.”Kayson took over the name card and smiled at him. “Mr. Gently.”“Haha, if you don’t mind, you can call me Uncle
There was still some time left before the auction startedHowever, the master of the lodge, who had not revealed their face before the public, had prepared wine and food to entertain their guests.Kayson had eaten quite a lot of food. Due to the commotion caused by Zephyr, many people were looking at Zachary from time to time.Yorrick had already left. He had come here to invite Zachary to become the medical consultant for his company. Since Zachary rejected his invitation, he had no reason to stay any longer.“Grandpa, try this cake! It’s tasty!” “It’s okay. It’s too sweet for me. You can have it all to yourself.”“Cake needs to be sweet and creamy. If not, it won’t be tasty!” Lindsy said happily as she enjoyed the food here.Kayson was having a good time as well.At that moment, two figures showed up.“Zachary Ewell!” Someone shouted, and his voice sounded familiar.It was Heirein.Zachary frowned slightly. He did not expect Heirein to be so persistent. Even though he d
