Archer alone was already enough to stir up panic amongst the staff members of Wolfenden Corp. Now that Faris, Archer’s superior, was here, perhaps it would be better off for Wolfenden Corp. to venture into other businesses from now on. Sadie’s face was ghastly pale. Faris was Archer’s immediate superior!Archer had actually invited a bigshot like Faris to the company. Was he trying to get her killed?The expressions of the leaders from the other departments changed drastically as well. Some expressed their panic, fear, and displeasure. The chief of the human resources department, River, could not refrain from looking toward Miles and wondered whether this was Miles’ doing.River wondered how Archer could be so influential that he could even alert Faris. Also, he wondered what Sadie had done last night to infuriate Archer to this extent.Meanwhile, River thought to himself, ‘Don’t ever offend Miles.‘Perhaps Sadie will need to retire from her position after today. Don’t ever th
Kayson saw Faris after getting out of the elevator. After seeing Faris' emotional gaze, he knew everything would be fine today. However, he furrowed his eyebrows instantly at the sight of Faris approaching him in a rush as he was about to call out to him. Thus, he signaled with his eyes. Faris was very good at observing people, so he understood the situation instantly upon seeing Kayson’s insinuation. “May I inquire where Ms. Wolfenden is?”He retracted his gaze that was fixed on Kayson in time and turned to look at Sean.“Ms. Wolfenden… is right behind us. She’ll be here soon.” Sean looked at Faris suspiciously. He remembered hearing Faris call out ‘Mr. Yar’ earlier, yet he changed his remark to ‘May’ in an instant.Sean did not have the time to ponder further, so he said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Cook, Ms. Wolfenden is still young, and she may be relatively impulsive in her behavior—”“Hehehe, Mr. Batley, that’s quite inappropriate for you to say that. Is being young an ex
Sadie and Faris chatted in delight inside the reception room next to the general manager’s office.Faris thought it would be inappropriate to stay long, so he got up in preparation after half an hour.After sending Faris to the door, Sadie made a call to report the good news. “Dad, the company is fine now! Mr. Cook and I chatted for a bit, and he just left.”“I’ve already found out about the situation. However, did Mr. Cook tell you why he’s helping you, Sadie?”Sadie paused for a moment before saying, “I asked him about that. He claimed that he just could not stand Archer’s despicable, shameless behavior anymore.”Liam said in suspicion, “Is that all?”“That’s what he said,” answered Sadie in puzzlement. “Alright then. Quite a few quality control chiefs called me up earlier to apologize. They claimed that they had too many drinks last night and had already passed most of our major projects.”“That’s awesome!” Sadie’s gaze turned cold. “However, Miles… He has been watching me
The next morning, Kayson joined Easton to depart for Capital Building Material Corp. with the contract.On the other hand, Sadie took out her phone to make a call while she was at the company. “Hello, Mr. Young. I’m Sadie Wolfenden from Wolfenden Corp.”“Ah! It’s you, Ms. Wolfenden!” Kenneth chuckled on the other end of the call and said, “You’re calling me so early in the morning, to what do I owe the pleasure?”The matter would determine the survival of The Tetrad, but she did not have the courage to make it sound like a big deal. She said in a very gentle tone, “This is the situation, Mr. Young. There’s a project which we’ve collaborated on previously that has already come to a full completion.“We are sending over two staff members with the contract from our side—”Upon hearing that, Kenneth immediately interrupted by saying, “Ms. Wolfenden. I’m afraid that this is a slightly difficult situation for me because I’m running short of money recently.“Hence, I will need an exte
At Capital Building Material Corp…Kayson and Easton were waiting at the entrance when two muscular men who looked rather rugged came out.One of them pointed at Kayson brazenly and barked, “Mr. Young asks for the two of you to leave!”Easton was a little scared, but he braved it out and said, “We are from Wolfenden Corp. and are here to meet Mr. Young for business.”“Mr. Young isn’t free. Piss off right now, or don’t blame us for getting rough!”Easton looked a little troubled as he asked in a whisper, “Mr. Kace, what do we do next?”Kayson turned to him. “We’ll go back since Mr. Young isn’t in?”Easton was rendered speechless.“Bro, that’s obviously an excuse! They’re trying to shrug the payment off! They’ll say he’s busy no matter which day we come!”“Oh.” Kayson nodded and said, “Then hide in the car. I can go up on my own.”“Uh…” Easton was taken aback before he replied through gritted teeth. “I think I’d better go up there with you.”Kayson chuckled and went back to th
Kayson swung a fist on Kenneth’s left shoulder, and the latter’s left arm fell limp. Fat droplets of sweat dotted Kenneth’s forehead.“You… I won’t let you go… And Wolfenden Corp. too…”Kayson grabbed Kenneth’s head and slammed it against the desk, causing the latter to bleed through his nose.“I’ll sign it!” Kenneth was heaving. He was furious! He would sign this contract but make sure Wolfenden Corp. would pay for this!Kayson let him go. “You could have done this earlier, and it’d be good for both of us, right, Mr. Young?”Kenneth fumbled for some tissue to wipe his nose and glared at Kayson begrudgingly. He picked up the pen to sign his name before barking, “Piss off!”Kayson nonchalantly collected the contract and left. When Easton saw that Kayson had managed to get the contract signed, he was delighted.“I knew it. There wouldn’t be any issue when you’re the one handling it!”Easton took the contract and flipped through it carefully and joyfully.“Mr. Kace, wait for me h
“D-Don’t you joke about this!”Kenneth paled in fear. He used to fight Horacio back in the day, but he had lost—very badly! The Quad Falcons had been the ones who kicked his *ss back then, so he was well aware of their capabilities!When he learned about Horacio and The Quad Falcons' demise, he was shocked but also delighted.Now, though, Gabriel was telling him that the young man who had beaten him up minutes earlier was the one who had killed Horacio.Gabriel continued to speak with a shuddering voice. “What’s worse is that Mr. Yarde knows bigshots in Assos. No one will be able to save you if you offend him!”Kenneth paled with terror brimming his eyes.“Why the f*ck didn’t you tell me earlier!?”Kenneth fumbled for his phone and called back everyone he had called.“Mr. Young, you’re…”Kenneth trembled with sweat slowly soaking him.“I made calls just now to ask all the bosses in the construction material field to stop working with Wolfenden Corp…”Gabriel felt like a thun
A Honda Accord stopped right in front of Wolfenden Corp.’s entrance. As soon as the driver got out of the car, he sprinted for the lobby without a care for his car. Not even the security guards could stop him.The driver looked panicked as he jabbed his finger on the elevator button—and he was none other than the boss of Capital Building Material Corp., Kenneth.Taking Gabriel’s suggestion, he had come straight to Wolfenden Corp. to apologize in person! He was not wasting even one second with it, and this was the first time in his life that he felt how tortuously slow the elevator was.In the meeting room…Miles snorted. “Mr. Oxley, do you think we should be praising you for being efficient?”Easton’s heart dropped. Miles’ tone did not sound kind!Ben stood up with a glower.“G-Grandpa—”Ben raised a hand to slap Easton, stunning the latter. The young man was frightened and asked shakily, “G-Grandpa, have I done something wrong?”“Idiot! You’ve caused so much damage to the com
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
