Kayson smiled. “I certainly wouldn’t sit around since you want to kill me.“It’s just that the more I interact with and understand the legendary Admiralporium, the more disappointed I am.”Aquilo was disdainful. “The name of Admiralporium isn’t someone insignificant like you can blaspheme. You shall die now!”Aquilo let out a low cry, circulating and releasing his energy to form a strong punch targeted at Kayson.Needless to say, Aquilo was skilled when he could become the vice-captain. Admiralporium would not have chosen him for the position otherwise. Since he had joined the organization with a high position, the resources he could get his hands on were unimaginable and would help elevate his practice in martial arts.Kayson picked up a fork and unleashed a powerful sword aura that made Yuri and Jim suck in cold breaths.“The sword aura!”This was something only masters who practiced swords would be able to do. Kayson was actually a swordmaster?! Would it be effective that he
The moment Jonah heard that someone was causing trouble at the hotel, he was infuriated. When he asked who the culprit was and was told that it was Kayson, his heart nearly stopped beating in shock. He left whatever he was in to rush over immediately.“Mr. Yarde! Ms. Todd! Are you both fine!?”Jonah dashed to the two of them the moment he came in.Kayson shook his head. “Fine. What brings you here?”Jonah grinned obsequiously. “Listen to you… If something happened to you, I’d rush back even if I were overseas!”“Jonah Sander!”There was no doubt that Tamayo knew the general manager as he yelled, “The Sirens Hotel’s got to be responsible since these people dared beat me up!“It’ll affect Mr. Fernando Saul’s reputation if word gets out!”Jonah was nearly scared witless. ‘Damn it, who was it who brought up Fernando at this moment? Is he trying to pick on me!?’He turned back and growled, “It’s you, Tamayo! Fernando’s dead! What nonsense are you talking about?“The chairman of th
Aquilo was shocked when he saw the two men by the door. He had a bad feeling but asked anyway, “Captain Cooke, Captain Wolke, what brings the two of you here?”Campian’s gaze was cold as he scanned the injured Aquilo but ignored him. He then approached Kayson with Shien and bowed. “Mr. Yarde, sorry for the embarrassment.”What the Admiralporium vice-captain had said and done felt like a joke.Shien’s face was still wrapped up, but his gaze was apologetic.“Mr. Yarde, thank you for saving me. I hope you’re able to excuse and forgive my offense back at the Hamiltons!”Kayson nodded and replied, “I’ve heard of Admiralporium’s name recently, but I’m quite disappointed now that I understand it more.”Campian quickly spoke up, “Mr. Yarde, Aquilo alone can’t possibly represent the whole Admiralporium!”The reason Kayson had stood out to him was not his pre-celestial stage but his amazing medical skills. Being a pre-celestial fighter was a rare accomplishment, but the Admiralporium had
“Don’t think that you’re powerful. It’d be a walk in the park for Mr. Yarde to take care of ten of you at a time.”Aquilo was inwardly quivering. ‘Jesse Lynch? Kayson killed that savage too!?’Aquilo left like a fleeing rat. As for those who had come with Tamayo, they were in tears from the shock and kept apologizing to Yuri, asking for his forgiveness.Yuri did not bother with them, so he asked Jonah to get the security guards to chase them away.“Kayson, I didn’t expect you to be so martially skilled too. To think you killed the top expert in Northspring, Fernando!”Kayson smiled. “There’s always someone better. I just happen to be at a higher level.”“That’s not it. Fernando was said to be at the peak of the master level, but his martial skill was enough to put him on par with a grandmaster,” said Jim.Yuri chuckled wryly. “Kayson, Aquilo’s too advanced compared to me. You should’ve killed him when you had the chance just now.“Otherwise, a master-level enemy is like a hidde
When Kayson got out of the bathroom after taking a shower and saw Rowena on the couch, it was only a matter of course that he knew what she was thinking. He went over and sat beside her, easily pushing a needle into her.“Kayson…” Rowena mumbled before she collapsed in Kayson’s arms, her towel slipping off during the action.Kayson gulped as his eyes feasted on the sight, but he carried Rowena to the bed and left after tucking her in.He returned to his room and meditated. He had made a small gain from the battle with Aquilo today. His sword aura had gotten stronger, and his manipulation of it felt more at ease.“There are eight styles in the Heavenless that emphasize the execution of aura and energy. Mr. Hamilton Sr.’s sword aura must be rather strong, but he could only execute two styles at most.“I wonder what swordsmanship Ezekiel practices. Mr. Hamilton Sr. couldn’t defeat him back then, even though he had mastered two styles.”Even Kayson felt pressured now.“The true powe
“It’s you…”Kayson said nonchalantly, “I’ve already stabilized your injury, but it would be best if you could rest for a few days. Otherwise, you’re going to suffer from long-term health effects.”“I’m Juniper Seely, and I’m grateful to you for saving my life.”“I’m Kayson Yarde. Don’t mention it, just remember to pay up.”Juniper nodded in all seriousness. “I’ll pay up for sure, and I won’t let your effort go to waste, Mr. Yarde.”Kayson gave her a small amount of powdered Blazing Root because it was good for replenishing her energy.Kayson said, “The person who hurt you is very powerful, and you’re lucky that you managed to escape.”Juniper only now recalled that Kayson could tell that a grandmaster had injured her before she lost consciousness. “Sir… Are you a fighter from a martial arts academy?”Kayson could not help laughing in spite of himself. “I suppose so, but I’m not tied to any academy.”Juniper was slightly disappointed upon hearing that. She was under the assum
Campian nodded. “Yes, our captain said that you’re the main contributor in the assassination of Jesse, Mr. Yarde.“According to our internal reward system, you will be receiving a cash reward of $1,500,000.”Frankly, he did not think Kayson would be bothered about $1,500,000. After all, he was already aware that Kayson was the owner of a big hotel like the Sirens Hotel. “We are unable to commend your service openly because you’re not a member of Admiralporium.“So, our captain decided that everything we acquired from Jesse will be given to you.”Kayson exclaimed, “What did you acquire from Jesse?”Campian said, “The Firepalm Technique manual and three debit cards. We have found that the total amount in the accounts linked to the three cards is $53,000,000.“Other than that, there are two pill bottles with some pills in them.”Kayson’s expression changed ever so slightly. He was not that interested in the other items but the Firepalm Technique manual. ‘Could it be that Jesse le
”The son of an influential figure in Skyspring also had feelings for the most beautiful woman in Northspring at the time.“It was unfortunate that the most beautiful woman in Northspring was very devoted to Mr. Hamilton Sr. and married him afterward. “The son of the influential figure commissioned a master-level fighter to kill the most beautiful woman in Northspring.“Mr. Hamilton Sr. was grief-stricken and asked for Admiralporium to act on his behalf to uphold justice for his deceased wife.“However, every Admiralporium member remained silent and disregarded his request. “When Mr. Hamilton Sr. learned that the man had such a powerful influence that not even the Admiralporium could take action on him, he was so furious that he destroyed the door of the Admiralporium’s headquarters.“Admiralporium was conscious of its own mistake and did not try to pick a fight with him. From then on, Mr. Hamilton Sr. returned to Northspring and devoted his attention to training.“Afterward, h
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
