Hendrick’s wizened face trembled as a sad expression appeared on it.He had received a call from Mr. Miller, and the latter was equally exasperated as he was.However, there was nothing he could do since Hudson refused to do the favor for him.He could only remind Hendrick to be more careful since there was a probability that Hudson would attack them to put the fear of God into him.Hendrick accepted his reminder but did not expect that Hudson's people would come so quickly.Michael asked sternly, “What does Mr. Hudson intend to do with me?”Damian replied flatly, “Don’t worry. Mr. Hudson isn’t going to kill you. He just asks me to let you taste a bitter pill.”Michael’s heart was in his throat. He was filled with fear as the person in front of him was too powerful.Raymond could exchange a few blows with some grandmasters, yet he stood no chance against this man. All he took was just a finger, and Raymond was severely wounded the next thing he knew.After Damian finished spea
“Gerald?” The figure seemed a little bit surprised.“You’re… Damian!?” Gerald was shocked as well when he realized who the human figure was. “Of all the people, Hudson sent you here? Does he really want to kill his brother and his family that much?” Damian said calmly, “I'm just carrying out Mr. Hudson's orders. I won’t ask any questions.”Gerald’s face sank. He was well aware of how powerful Damian was and was certain that he was no match for him.Damian continued calmly. “Since you're here, can I say that you're going against Mr. Hudson and protecting Hugh's family?”“I've given my words, so I need to carry out my obligation dutifully,” Gerald said sternly.Although he was no match for Damian, it did not mean he couldn’t hold him off.He just needed to stall him long enough until Kayson returned, and then thet could join forces to take Damian down.A hint of coldness crossed Damian’s eyes as he said, “It seems like you have a death wish. I should warn you. The Templars will
Damian had only one arm left. Blood was gurgling out of his wound and staining the ground on his feet with red.At a distance not far away, Gerald’s face was fully written with shock as he said excitedly, “He’s a pre-celestial fighter who can condense his energy… Yet he can’t even take one punch from Dr. Yarde…”It was only now he realized how much he had underestimated Kayson.Damian controlled his energy around his body and stopped the bleeding.He was able to condense the energy in his body, and it wouldn’t take long before he entered the god stage. Even though he hadn’t completely reached the god stage yet, he had half of his foot stepped into it.“There can’t be such a young pre-celestial fighter in this world! Just who are you?” Damian’s face was filled with surprise as he fixed his gaze on Kayson.Kayson said, “Don't use your limited insight to look at the world. You can't do it, but it doesn't mean that others can't do it either.”Damian’s expression changed, and he said
Gerald looked at Kayson. When he saw the calm expression on Kayson’s face, he continued excitedly. “Could it be that…”“You may circulate your energy inside of your body from time to time in these few days. If nothing goes wrong, it shouldn’t be any problem for you to bring your overall battle prowess to another whole new level.”Gerald’s eyes glowed as he said gratefully, “Thank you, Dr. Yarde!”Kayson shook his head. “However, I need you to do me a favor. I want you to continue to protect the Wolfendens for the time being.”“Rest assured, Dr. Yarde!” Gerald patted his chest and said, “As long as I’m alive, no one can lay a single finger on them!”Kayson had a lot of faith in Gerald since he was a man of his words. That was why he promised Gerald that he would help him improve his combat capabilities to the next level.Since Damian was dead, Kayson returned to Whitman Manse.Michael had called someone to come over and clean up a bit, so the courtyard was a lot cleaner.“Kays
Kayson, Michael, and Noella rushed to Skyspring through the night.The drive from Clouspring to Skyspring required four to five hours.When Sadie received Kayson’s call saying that he would not be back for the night, her temper flared. She tossed and turned on the bed, occasionally glancing at the side of the floor Kayson would sleep at, and retrieved her phone since she could not fall asleep.She swiped to her best friend’s contact and sent her a text but did not get her reply.“Since when does Wanda sleep so early!?”Sadie was frustrated. She could only get up and stomp on Kayson’s duvet with nowhere to vent.Meanwhile, Kayson had no idea that a certain heiress pitifully stampeded his beddings.A few hours later, he and his company arrived in Skyspring at midnight. The capital city of Skyriv, Skyspring, triumphed over the other cities in various aspects.Noella had booked a five-star hotel during the drive, and they headed for it directly upon arrival. She had booked a luxuri
Everyone was taken aback. Hudson spoke icily. “Who are you to kick up a fuss here in the Wolfendens’? Don’t you have any idea of the consequences of angering the Wolfendens?”Kayson strode in, looking calm.When the Wolfendens saw that it was a young man, they were baffled. Who was this? They had never seen him before!Hudson questioned in rage, “Who are you?”“You sent people to kill me, but you don’t even know what I look like?” retorted Kayson.The family was alarmed, Hudson even more so. “You’re Kayson Yarde who killed Lincoln?”Lincoln’s father, Konnor, lashed out instantly. “And yet you dare come to the Wolfendens! You’re seeking your own death!”“Masters and seniors, please step out and kill this man right here!”Hudson looked unfazed. He did not stop Konnor because it was impossible for him to let Kayson off the hook either. As for why Kayson would appear here suddenly, he guessed that Damian had simply missed Kayson.Three powerful masters appeared on Kayson’s left, r
Even Kayson was surprised that the old man had surrendered so easily! He thought that they would have fought back till their deaths. Now that they acknowledged defeat so fast, it made him feel bad to kill them all directly.“Brother…” Hubert was indignant since the one who had died was his grandson.“Shut up!” Hudson scolded coldly. His stern expression silenced all the other family members.Hubert and Lincoln’s parents hung their heads without any objection either.“Can you tell me how Damian Carden is now?”“Oh, he’s dead,” answered Kayson.Hubert and Konnor felt cold sweat drenching them. Damian, who was almost in the god stage, was dead?Hudson did not seem too surprised as he nodded. “Hugh’s lucky to have help from a master like you.“This also means that he should be spared. I will stop targeting him because of you.”Kayson scrutinized the Wolfenden patriarch upon hearing what he said and shook his head abruptly. “What you said can’t be trusted.”Hudson arched a brow.
“He’s unconscious now. If I killed them and went against his wishes, it wouldn't be good for me.”Of course, Michael knew that Hugh was still comatose due to his injury. Kayson had even asked him to find certain medicine primers, but there had not been news about it.Suddenly, realization struck Michael. “You’re planning to destroy the Wolfendens’ foundation.“You might as well take this as an opportunity to make the Wolfendens pay a hefty price and use what you gain on Wolfenden Corp.“Besides, the Wolfendens have a lot of connections, having established themselves in Skyspring for so long. Don’t you need a few herbs to wake Mr. Wolfenden Sr. up?“They might have them, but even if they don’t, it’d be easier for you to find them.”Kayson perked up as he listened to Michael and understood him perfectly. He went back to the hall and said, “I need three herbs, Juvena Frux, Tempering Clover, and Evergreene Bark.”Hudson turned serious. “These are precious items…”“Oh, he dies if I
