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
Kayson chuckled. “Did he really say that?”If he still had the guts to say something like that after seeing his strength, it meant the person supporting him was someone to be reckoned with. That being said, Kayson was not really worried about it, even if he was a pre-celestial fighter.However, it seemed to him that the person who had poisoned Yulene was even more powerful and troublesome than expected.Bradley said in a serious voice, “That’s what he said. Mr. Yarde, what do you think?”The words of a peak-stage, master-level fighter carried weight, and Kayson decided to meet him since he had mentioned him.As soon as he made up his mind, Kayson said, “Let’s go and meet him.”Very soon, Bradley and Kayson entered the interrogation room. Kayson looked at Justin’s driver and asked, “What’s your name?”The driver’s face was swollen up from the beating, and he stared at Kayson viciously as he replied, “Logan Zabinski.”Kayson nodded and said, “I heard from Mr. Walton Sr. that yo
Xander said, “Campbell Group, which I founded, has been developing rapidly in the past few years. Its funding, capabilities, and support are incredibly strong.“I also know that Mr. Yarde shares a close relation to the Wolfendens of Wolfenden Corp, so I can invest in them.“I’m willing to offer you 5% of the shares, with a value of over $2,200,000,000.”Kayson was no longer the amateur who had just come to Clouspring. He said immediately, “There’s no free lunch in this world. What do you want?”Xander chuckled. “I’ll be direct since you’re so straightforward. I’d like to recruit you and have you assist me in rising to the top of Clouspring.”“Not interested.” Kayson rejected his offer promptly.The Whitmans had to be at the top of Clouspring.Xander was quiet for a while before he sighed. “You will not do me this favor?”Kayson answered, “Anything else is up for discussion, but the top of Clouspring is the only thing I call the shots about.”Xander seemed to be angry, as his t
Justin kneeled on the floor, quivering. Yulene was the apple of Hogan and Bradley’s eyes. They had to be burning from wrath now that they knew he was the source of her illness.If Yulene had not stayed alone outside because she could not stand on her legs, every single one of the Waltons would have caught the illness. That would be akin to wiping the Waltons out as a whole, and Hogan would have never gotten into a conflict with Justin. He had even considered the latter his best friend.Thank God that they had met Kayson. Yulene might have died otherwise.“Hogan, I was forced. Believe me. I’ve always been nice to Yulene. I never really wished harm upon her…”Justin sobbed, but Hogan was resentful. How could he possibly let Justin off the hook? He asked his men to drag Justin away and kill him right away. There was no way he would swallow the fact that his family had been nearly annihilated!Kayson planned to leave the Waltons now that they had already taken care of Justin.As Ho
