After the birthday party, Hugh and his family went to the Shengville Hotel.Daniel’s secretary, Harry, had been waiting for them downstairs and quickly approached them when he saw them entering the lobby.“Mr. Wolfenden Sr.!” Harry smiled warmly.“Harry!” Hugh extended a hand.Harry shook it briefly and told him with a smile, “Mr. Chappell is already waiting upstairs. I’ll take you to him.”“Sure, thank you!”Hugh was a little anxious and excited.In the presidential suite, Room 2002…As Harry led them in, they saw a poised middle-aged man with graying sideburns. He was Daniel Chappell, the man who could decide who would receive the Dickinson International project!“Mr. Wolfenden Sr., I’ve long heard of you!”Hugh went up to him promptly. “Mr. Chappell, sorry to keep you waiting!”“No worries. Come, have a seat.”Hugh and his family were reserved. Daniel was a notable man in Springside, and there was no way they could meet him without connections.“It’s getting late, so I’
Hugh and his family left the hotel and went home with questions in their heads.Sadie was curious. “Grandpa, should we ask Mr. Tinsley about it?”Hugh shook his head. “It wouldn’t be appropriate. Johnson Zigler, though. Hmph! I thought he had helped us and was so thankful and polite to him at the birthday party.“But it’s got nothing to do with him at all! That old man is shameless!”Hugh was furious when he thought about how Johnson had just taken the credit for nothing.What a shameless old man! Despite that, he was still curious about who had helped them. Could it be Kayson?When they returned, Hugh saw that the mansion was lit up and muttered, “Kayson’s probably home.”Sadie looked horrified when she entered and did not see Kayson downstairs. After going upstairs frantically and pushing the door to her room open, she saw Kayson sleeping on the floor as expected.Sadie was flushed and slammed the door as she looked at her underwear on the bed. She glared at Kayson while she
Before Easton finished his sentence, a loud noise came from his end, and the call was cut.Kayson looked a little grim as he searched for the location and rushed to the bar that Easton had mentioned.At The Walnut, Crimsun Street…Kayson pushed the door open and entered upon arrival. It was dim inside the bar, stinking with various odors.The light was turned on all of a sudden and flooded the bar with brightness.“Oh, came here to die alone?” said a mocking voice, prompting Kayson to look at one of the couches.The man who had talked was sitting on the couch. There were also Easton, Reva, Natalie, and others. Easton had a fresh bleeding wound while the person who spoke had his foot on top of Easton’s head.The man was scanning Kayson with a sneer. Several muscular men stood on his left and right. There were also a few others who looked slightly less intimidating.Mason Gillete scoffed. “What a scare. I f*cking thought that the kid was calling for some help, but this is it? One
Kayson paused as an icy glint flashed across his eyes.Like an arrow released from the bow, he sprang forward and kicked Mason. The latter fell to the couch with a heavy thud before the couch collapsed under the weight and force.“Argh!” Mason let out a pained cry before he coughed up blood.“Goodness!” Admiration glittered in Reva’s eyes. She was dumbstruck. She did not know that Kayson was actually this awesome!The whole bar was left with pained groans and a few underlings who dared not make a move.Kayson checked Easton and realized that the latter had suffered serious internal injuries. Apparently, he must have been beaten up brutally, but his life was not at risk.“Send Easton and the others to the hospital.”Reva snapped out of her trance and replied timidly, “Can we not go to the hospital? We dare not let our families know…”Kayson frowned, helpless against Reva’s pitiful expression.“Send them to Bwell Therapeutics then.”“Okay!”Reva quickly went to help prop Easto
Kayson chuckled. “Sure, even though you’ve been badly beaten up, I find that you did nothing wrong.”“I shall return to the company and apply for a leave of absence on behalf of all of you then.”Reva repeatedly nodded in appreciation.Kayson returned to the company after instructing Lindsy and her grandfather to take care of Easton and the others. Kayson applied for a leave of absence on their behalf upon his return to the company.When he got off work, he headed to Bwell Therapeutics to provide treatment to them. Easton and the others recovered quickly with his treatment.At the very least, the injuries on their faces were no longer visible, so their families would not notice that they were injured if they were to go home.Easton’s injuries were relatively serious as compared to the others, so he would need to recuperate for one to two days.The next day, Kayson paid a visit to The Tetrad.Reva and the others were exhilarated at the sight of Kayson, and their eyes lit up wi
Quite a lot of eyes focused on Kayson as soon as he walked into Boardroom 3.However, most people were looking at him in astonishment.A man sized up Kayson with an arrogant gaze. “Who are you?”“I’m the deputy chief of The Tetrad from the project department, Kayson Yarde. Mr. Oxley is away from work today, so I’m attending the meeting on his behalf,” replied Kayson. “The Tetrad?” The man sniggered in contempt. “Mr. Batley, don’t you think saving a spot for The Tetrad is a waste? The bottled water of our company costs money too.”The rest of the people lowered their heads and sneered without bothering to hide their laughter upon hearing that.Sean furrowed his eyebrows ever so slightly but relaxed his eyebrows soon afterward. “Mr. Lawson, you do care about cost-saving for the company at all times as the person in charge of the company’s finances.“However, you’re fussing so much for just bottled water. Could it be that the company’s financial status is already so dire?”The CF
Sadie spoke coldly in a stern tone. “You don’t get to talk here, Yarde!”Miles smiled widely and behaved as if he was standing up for Kayson. “That’s not right, Ms. Wolfenden. Since Mr. Yarde is attending the boardroom meeting, he also has a right to speak.“Ms. Wolfenden’s remark is quite hurtful, isn’t it?”Sadie clenched her fists tightly in a fury!Who would want to sign a project with The Tetrad in view of their impressive reputation?Kayson was clueless!“Ms. Wolfenden, I think Mr. Lawson makes a good point. The Tetrad must produce results in order to convince the crowd.”Kayson spoke extremely seriously as if he could not understand Sadie’s intention.Miles smiled widely. “I admire an ambitious person like you. If The Tetrad can sign a project worth more than $3,000,000 within a month…“I shall acknowledge The Tetrad’s value and promise that I won’t ever mention abolishing The Tetrad anymore from then on.“However, I want The Tetrad to achieve it through their hard wor
Natalie and the others were not sad anymore with Kayson’s convincing assurance.Reva, on the other hand, was distraught.Kayson began flipping through The Tetrad’s work log casually.‘Hmm. It’s just like how Easton describes it. The Tetrad does mostly legwork, document deliveries, and project signings that are already settled.’“Mr. Kace… Why don’t you meet up with Mr. Lawson and throw in the towel? I think Mr. Lawson won’t make a fuss with us in view of his magnanimousness.”Kayson chuckled as he flipped through the file in his hand and said, “Your father is on the board of directors, yet you’re still afraid of Lawson?”Reva’s expression was gloomy. “I hold an inferior position in the company, and my words have little effect over others. My father has never paid any attention to me, and one’s capability is crucial in a place like this. What do we have to compare to Mr. Lawson, huh?“In addition, Mr. Lawson’s father is the company's second-biggest shareholder, which makes him mo
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
