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
She felt like she was such a fool. When Kayson had told her that Cullen was a bad guy, she had refused to believe it and had thought that Kayson was being petty.“How dare you slap me, you b*tch! Unforgivable! This is unforgivable! How could you slap me?!” Cullen burst into a fit of anger. Gone was the cool-headed, poised handsome young man he normally was.Yulene was disappointed. She had not expected that to be the true nature of the mild-tempered, outstanding student council president.Kayson took a step forward and smacked Cullen on the back of his neck, knocking him out cold. Since Admiralporium would be coming to clean up the mess, Kayson led Yulene and Queenie away. When they returned to the Walton manor, Yulene said in a serious voice, “Thank you very much for tonight, Mr. Yarde. If it weren't for you, I would have…” Yulene felt a chill down her spine when she thought about what would have happened to her if Kayson had not stepped in.Kayson nodded, and Yulene added,
At the table, Bradley asked, “How do you like the dishes, Mr. Yarde?”Kayson smiled and said, “They’re good. I didn’t expect you to have such a scrumptious meal for breakfast.” Bradley laughed and said, “If you like it, you’re welcome to come and have breakfast with us every day!” Kayson smiled but did not say anything. At that moment, Hogan chimed in. “Mr. Yarde, Yulene talked about her illness with me last night. “Are you suspecting that friend of mine is doing this to Yulene?” Kayson nodded. “If you guys haven’t been to any other places, then it should be him.” Hogan found it hard to believe. He said, “That man has been my friend for many years. It’s not too far-fetched to say that he’s one of my best friends. He has been treating Yulene very nicely as well.“He even intends to take Yulene in as his goddaughter, but I didn’t say yes… He has been taking great care of Yulene since she was a kid.“He’ll come here later. Can you help me test him out? What if we make a mista
Bradley and the fighters of the Waltons appeared and surrounded Justin’s car.Justin’s face sank as he looked at Hogan angrily. “What do you mean by this, Hogan?”Hogan did not say anything. He just looked at Kayson. “Mr. Yarde?”Kayson walked to the passenger seat, pulled the air vent underneath the front of the passenger seat, and a purplish crystalline rock dropped out. He enveloped himself in his energy barrier and picked the rock up with his bare hand.“Arctic Crystal? This is incredible. Not everyone can get this.” Kayson sighed. “I suppose you were instructed by someone to do this, right?” Hogan’s face was grim as he gritted his teeth. “Justin, how do you explain this?”Justin said seriously, “I don’t know how this thing got in my car!”Kayson smiled and chimed in. “You still don’t want to tell the truth? Never mind. I have plenty of ways to hypnotize you and force you to spill the truth.”At that moment, the driver Kayson had discovered to be a peak-stage, master-le
