Matthew’s head was filled with cold sweat as he continued. “I-I’m not sure either. He isn’t someone that I can reach at my level.”Kayson let out a cold smile and said, “If you can’t reach him, then why did you say he’s the one who instructed you to target Cecile?”“He sent his man to me! I’m not lying!” Matthew hastily said, fearing that Kayson wouldn’t believe in him. “No one dares to act under the name of Fernanda in Northspring!”Just as Kayson was immersed in his thoughts, Hendery chimed in. “Young man, he’s right.“Fernanda is the strongest in Northspring. Everyone knows who he is, and he's so strong that even the Hamiltons in Northspring refuse to go against him.”Kayson said, “But I’m not from Northspring, and I’ve never offended him before.”Hendery let out a bitter smile. “Fernanda has never been a benevolent person. He’ll never say no to money, and anyone can hire him as long as they’re willing to pay him the price he names.”Matthew nodded hastily, “That’s right. Fer
Kayson nearly laughed upon seeing how swollen Hendery’s sister’s eyes were.Rowena was a pretty girl. Otherwise, a rich heir like Matthew would not have taken a fancy to her anyway. Her swollen eyes made such a huge contrast against the pretty face that it was kind of hilarious.Hendery scratched his head. “Excuse the embarrassment, Kayson.”Kayson grinned in reply. “No worries.”Rowena was a little anxious when she saw her elder brother bring back a guy around her age. “Hendery, which hospital does this doctor come from?”Before Hendery answered, Kayson said, “I’m not working in any hospital. You can consider me a wandering doctor if you’d like.”‘A w-wandering doctor?’ Rowena was baffled. Was that not also known as a conman?She hastily pulled the covers over her legs and forced a smile. “Thank you for the kind thought, but I think I’m fine.”Hendery asked in astonishment, “What are you doing, Rowena?”Kayson’s medical prowess was evidently extraordinary as he had easily hea
“Sure!” Hendery accepted the prescription and went out.Kayson told Rowena, “Ms. Todd, I’ll help you regulate your circulation first.”Rowena did not reject him this time. Her calf bones were already in that condition. How much worse could they get?Kayson unwrapped the gauze that was around Rowena’s leg and pressed a finger against a pressure point, causing some darkened blood to ooze out of her wound.Rowena was pale as she quivered with gritted teeth.“You’ve felt some prickling pain from these spots earlier because of poor circulation of blood and energy that damaged your blood vessels.”Rowena was astonished. “You… How did you know? I denied all of them.”He knew that she was lying!Kayson smiled without explaining. He was at the god stage now and had reached the mind expansion level. Rowena’s attempts to conceal her emotions in front of him were all in vain.Rowena was a little ashamed. The mad she had labeled as a conman was genuinely skilled.With the circulation of b
At Drago Gym in Northspring…The gym was not exactly big, but no one in Northspring dared underestimate it because the owner was the best fighter in the city—Fernando Saul.Fernando was tall and muscular and exuded an intimidating aura. He was on a call with someone in his office in the gym, and the person on the other end of the line asked, “Who’s Hendery Todd?”“A small fry in the Admiralporium,” replied Fernando. “You don’t have to worry about him, Mr. Wadley.”Joseph sounded taken aback. “The Admiralporium, huh?”Fernando looked disdainful as he spoke confidently. “Don’t worry, Mr. Wadley. I’ll have Kayson Yarde’s head tonight and delight Sir Osborn.”Joseph’s tone was tinged with a smile. “I’m not worried since you’re handling it. But Kayson isn’t a weak one. He was able to severely injure Nicholas. Be careful.”“No grandmaster can avoid the firing of bullets. I’ll spike the drinks tonight for double assurance, making sure there’s no way he can go back after coming,” Fernan
Their chat was cut short when a tall man who wore a ghost of a smirk walked in.“Mr. Saul.” Hendery got up immediately to show his respect. Fernando was the best fighter in Northspring and was at the highest level of a master.Fernando nodded, seemingly polite, as he asked with a smile, “This is Mr. Kayson Yarde, I presume?”Hendery briefly introduced both men to each other before they took their seats.Fernando was a talker with a lot of experience, able to throw in a comment or two regardless of the topic of conversation.As they chatted while they ate, Hendery steered the conversation to the point. He raised a glass of wine.“Mr. Saul, this is my bro, Kayson. He’s got a small misunderstanding with you.“Playing host today, I hope you can do me this favor, and Kayson will also apologize to you.”Fernando held Hendery’s hand that was going to tip his wine glass back to gulp down the liquid as he said with a smile, “There’s no hurry, Mr. Todd.“I’m a reasonable man, and since
Hendery and Rowena were shocked.Rowena asked frantically, “Dr. Yarde, what’s this Exradere that he said he drugged you with? Has he spiked the wine?”Fernando snorted. “That’s right. Exradere is a poison that dissolves any power one has. Even a highly skilled grandmaster wouldn’t be able to remedy its potency.”As he spoke, Hendery suddenly fell back to the chair with a stagger, feeling weak out of the blue.“Fernando Saul, you despicable man!” Hendery glared at Fernando, not expecting the latter to have gotten his hands on such a potent poison.Fernando’s gaze was condescending, and he was no longer smiling.“Despicable? Hendery, have you grown dumb from all these years in Admiralporium? I’m paid to kill. Who cares what I resort to as long as I manage to kill the target?”Fernando then looked at Kayson a little sarcastically. “After all, I ought to be more cautious when it’s someone who could beat a grandmaster like Nicholas.”“Hendery!” Rowena could not help worrying when sh
Fernando thought quickly, then he let out a loud shout and launched himself into the air with a push of his foot to approach Kayson.Then, he swung a few punches consecutively and unleashed his potent inner energy and power. He stirred up a gale when he threw his punches that shook the lamps and vases in the surroundings so strongly that they exploded.Kayson narrowed his eyes. ‘Fernando has very potent power, and he is definitely not considered weak amongst the master-level fighters.‘If he became a grandmaster-level fighter one day, he'd be a powerful one at that too.‘It’s a waste that he is fighting against me today and is destined to die here.’All of a sudden, Fernando caught Kayson when he was momentarily distracted and channeled his inner strength into his fist instantly before he threw a punch at Kayson’s temple!The sound of thunder echoed abruptly. Fernando was still puzzled when Kayson moved swiftly by twisting his body and threw a punch with his fist enshrouded by gr
Kayson smiled nonchalantly. “That’s not up to you.”Upon saying that, his body moved swiftly and arrived before Fernando. He pulled the Exradere out of his pocket.Then, he squeezed Fernando’s cheeks to open his mouth and poured in some Exradere.Next, he pulled out a silver needle and stabbed it into Fernando’s spine. “Gah!”Fernando’s entire body convulsed in pain as he let out the bitter, agonizing scream. He lost his inner energy, so he was an ordinary person now. It would be even more difficult for an ordinary person to endure this kind of inhuman pain.After a while, Kayson switched to another pressure point that made Fernando go from screaming in pain to laughing unstoppably.Then, he was endlessly bawling before he was constantly convulsing.Hendery felt a chill down his spine at the sight of Fernando. ‘Kayson appears to be a gentle person. I didn’t expect he could actually be so merciless to his enemies.’No one could endure the agony of losing control over their e
