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
Kayson was speechless, while Queenie quickly said, “Riley, it’s not a good time today. I’ll buy you a meal some other time.”Riley glanced at Kayson in disdain before she caught Queenie’s hand. “Queenie, it’s pathetic for a pretty girl like you to be sitting outside.“I’m eating with a few friends in the room upstairs. Come with us. Oh yeah, Celeste’s here too!”“When did she come back?” Queenie asked, surprised by the information.Riley grinned. “Just yesterday. You didn’t know?”“She didn’t tell me…” Queenie furrowed her brows.Kayson spoke up. “Go have a look if you want to.”He could see that Queenie seemed to be close to Celeste, as there was a flash of delight in her eyes when Riley mentioned Celeste.Queenie glanced at Kayson in slight embarrassment. However, she was quite puzzled and she did want to check the situation out.Riley was a little disgruntled upon seeing that Queenie wanted to take Kayson along, but she said nothing. She only threw the guy a dirty look.On
“Kayson Yarde.”Desmond smiled. “Kayson Yarde? Nice, you seem pretty chill. You her boyfriend?”Kayson shook his head. “Nah, we just got to know each other. I did her a favor, so she’s thanking me by treating me to a meal.”“Oh!” Desmond grinned wider, as though he was happy with the answer.The other two guys smirked at Kayson as well, mocking him inwardly for turning into a coward once Desmond got angry.Riley looked disdainful but said nothing. She despised men like this the most.Celeste seemed quite furious as she kept her eyes on Kayson, looking like she wanted to skin him alive. The spunk seemed to leave her then, as her gaze turned anguished when she looked at Queenie, appearing all sad and guilty.Kayson chatted with Desmond as if he had perceived nothing, praising the latter occasionally and humoring the latter’s fantasy of being the coolest.When the dishes were served in a while, Queenie did not quite have any appetite because she was too worried.Desmond wanted Qu
Riley wanted to retort, but Kayson lost his patience and resorted to violence, grabbing her with a stretch of his arm. He perched the drink against her mouth and forced it down her throat.“Blurgh!” Riley was aghast, shoving a finger down her throat in a panic to make herself throw up the drink.Desmond, who was furious, smashed a bottle and scowled. “F*ck you! How dare you do that right in front of me? Get him!”Kayson dropped the courteous act then, sending three bottles flying and crashing against the men’s heads. With three loud smashes, the three guys passed out on the floor in unison.“You—You…” Riley watched the scene in disbelief before her eyes slowly drifted shut and she fainted.Queenie felt fear creep in. “There was really something wrong with the drink!”“Just some sleeping drug,” Kayson replied.Queenie sighed. “Thank goodness for you, or I’d be in danger. You knew that they were dodgy from the start?”Kayson nodded. “While I don’t know what your friend was trying
Queenie took a glance at Kayson and made up her mind. ‘Forget it. I’ll just buy him a few more dinners at most!’“Don’t worry, Celeste. Kayson is not an ordinary person. He is very skilled at fighting! I’ll get him to help!”Upon hearing that, Celeste was slightly astonished. Soon afterward, she said, “No, Queenie. Desmond is backed by a man who is capable of denting a steel door with just a punch.“Had I not witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that there’s a man capable of doing something so unbelievable in this world.”Upon hearing that, Kayson slapped the table. A crack was heard before the dining table broke in two.He looked toward Celeste and asked, “Are you referring to something like this?”Celeste looked at the two halves of the dining table in a daze. She appeared rather shocked and incredulous. “You…”Celeste was at a loss for words. She could not refrain from examining the table and ensuring that some mechanism did not cause it. When she discovered th
