Kayson walked out of the thick smoke, his face covered in ashes. He had used his energy to protect his body in time, but he still sustained some injuries. “What a malicious man who detonated himself!” muttered Kayson. He was injured but not too severely.“Sir…”The Allens, Wolfendens, Ian, and Chuck looked at Steelification Doyen, whose body was already a charred, bloody mess.‘Steelification Doyen is dead!’‘How did this happen!?’‘How was his Titanium Technique broken?’‘Someone apart from Tre-strike actually broke Steelification Doyen’s Titanium Technique!?’Ian and Chuck were relatively shocked by Steelification Doyen’s death. However, they felt terrified other than shocked.“You… You killed my mentor…”Chuck glared at Kayson with rage in his eyes. Kayson said in astonishment, “Huh? You tried to kill me, so isn’t it normal for me to kill you?”Ian and Chuck’s expressions changed drastically at the same time. They were planning on running away, but how could Kayson l
“I was too careless. I should have kept them alive to question them about the Titanium Technique’s source…”Kayson heaved a sigh. He wondered if Steelification Doyen’s powerful barrier technique was passed down to him by some formidable mentor.Initially, he was afraid that he would leave behind powerful enemies that would put the Wolfendens in deep trouble after returning to the countryside. That was why he had kept Lincoln alive.He wanted to draw in Lincoln’s mentor so he could eliminate the source of the problem. Yet, it would be quite troublesome if Steelification Doyen had some sort of mentor as his backer.“I should ask Lincoln about this. He’s Steelification Doyen’s mentee, so he should know a thing or two…”Kayson checked the other objects and discovered some medication to cure injuries and also a few debit cards. He had no lack of money these days, so he did not pay too much attention to that.Kayson trained for a while and realized that it was time to eat. He prepared
The Waltons had not done anything when he’d found himself in trouble a few times. He knew that the Waltons did not want to have anything to do with him because he had caused too much trouble.Therefore, Kayson did not make any contact with the Waltons anymore. In Clouspring, the Wolfendens and the Whitmans were the families he cared about the most. Especially this time, when the Whitmans had gone as far as to cut ties with the Millers to support him. He would put more effort into helping the Whitmans, and he swore silently that he would do everything he could to help them reach the top. The Allens’ properties, which were worth $30,000,000,000, would be taken by the Whitmans. This way, the Whitmans would be way ahead of the other powers and companies in Clouspring. Even Joseph, the richest man in Clouspring, would be affected. Now that Yulene was trying to reach him again through Queenie, although he was not against it, he was not that enthusiastic either. Kayson said flatly,
The atmosphere in the private room turned tense, and Queenie felt like she was a cat walking on a hot tin roof.She seemed to have realized that she had done something wrong. There seemed to be an irrevocable conflict between Kayson and Yulene.Meanwhile, Yulene was restless. She looked at Kayson, wanting to say something, but couldn’t say anything in the end.Kayson did not intend to fix his relationship with the Waltons. If the Waltons had any conflict with him, the next thing he would have done was have the Whitmans annex the Waltons’ properties so the Whitmans would become the strongest family in Clouspring.Roughly two hours later, they finished their meal and Kayson rose to his feet. “Ms. Batley, let me take you home. Otherwise, Mr. Batley will be worried about you.”Queenie was stunned for a moment before she replied, “Huh? O… Okay.”Yulene was rather disappointed when Kayson did not say that he would take her home. It seemed to her that their last few choices had broken K
“Thank you so much, Queenie!” Yulene was beyond excited. At that moment, Cullen’s voice rang out. He sounded cold as he asked, “Are you the one who bullied Yulene?” Yulene’s expression changed, and she said, “What are you talking about, Cullen?”Kayson glanced at Cullen and said indifferently, “I bullied her?”He turned his head around to meet Yulene’s eyes, feeling speechless. He had not scolded her or beaten her up, so he did not know why Cullen would suddenly accuse him of bullying her. Frowning, Cullen said sternly, “Are you scared of him, Yulene? You don’t have to be scared of him. I’ll be here to protect you.”Yulene shouted exasperatedly, “Are you mad, Cullen? Kayson is my friend. He would not bully me.”‘Friend?’Cullen calmed himself down. He could see that Yulene had some feelings for the man before him, and he would never let that happen.However, he smiled and said, “Ah, I see. I’m sorry for misunderstanding.”He put on a facade, acting generous as he said in a
Kayson took Yulene home first. Roughly an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of the Walton manor.Yulene asked, “Mr. Yarde, do you want to come in and have a seat? My father and grandfather have been wanting to see you.”Kayson shook his head. “I’ll pass this time, but I hope you’ll take the things I said to you just now seriously, Ms. Walton.”Yulene felt disappointed. However, she was not going to give up, as she still had a lot of time. Besides, she knew she couldn’t rush this kind of thing.“Alright. I’ll keep it in mind.”After saying that, Yulene got out of the car and entered Walton manor.Queenie said, “Kayson, Yulene isn’t a bad girl. She's very kind. When someone was bullying me in college, she stood up for me.”Kayson replied, “I didn’t say she’s a bad girl.”Queenie sighed inwardly, left speechless after she heard what Kayson said. Suddenly, his hair stood up and gooseflesh erupted all over his skin. He squinted his eyes as he said, “Hurry up and pull over!”
Yulene was stunned. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she gently pulled a lock of hair from her head. Kayson was speechless. “I just needed a strand. Why did you give me a lock?” Yulene did not know what to say.‘I just lost my focus for a while…’Kayson did not say anything else. He just pulled out a charm and coiled Yulene’s hair around it.The charm fluttered and led the three of them forward.In the suite of the hotel… “What?!” Joe’s expression changed, and he shouted. Cullen asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Roosevelt?”“Someone has intercepted my Soul-Guiding Curse!” Joe’s face sank as he said, “I don’t know what happened, but the Killing Curse seems to have failed to kill that man named Kayson…”Cullen asked sternly, “How could that happen?”After all, even a master-level fighter would not be able to defend themselves against Joe’s attack.Joe frowned deeply and said, “I have no idea either. It seems like someone interrupted the curse. But how could he do that if he
“Mr. Roosevelt?”Cullen’s face was pale with shock and fear as he looked at Joe’s dead body on the floor.Kayson took a step forward and pulled the red clothes off the puppet. He then gathered his fire energy and burned the puppet. Cullen’s face was gloomy as he said, “It seems to me that you have a death wish since you dared to kill Mr. Roosevelt.”Kayson said calmly, “You’re more foolish than I thought you were. Do you think it's good for you to build a career with the help of evil power? I guess you have been using this curse technique a lot because it’s convenient, right? Do you think this guy is helping you for nothing? Although you've had a good run in the past few years, I'm sure many of the people around you have gone through hard times, right?”Cullen looked stunned and startled. “How… How did you know that?” Kayson said, “Using the power of a curse to gain what you want will take a heavy toll on you, but you may not need to suffer the consequences. “It may affect th
