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
On the other hand, it was said that President Hann was a fully-recognized master!Kayson called up Michael to ask about the Martial Alliance. “Ah, you’re talking about Kingston’s society, right? It’s rather powerful, but that is all to it. The Whitmans have no fear for them.”Kayson’s expression changed ever so slightly. “They have master-level fighters as their members. It seems that the Whitmans don’t have one, right?”Michael chuckled and said, “Almost everyone from my family is a government official. The act of killing us is equal to provoking them, right?“Even if someone is trying to kill us, they must do it secretly without revealing their true identity. Kingston won’t have the courage to do anything to me unless he wants to be kicked out of Clouspring.”Kayson considered for a moment but did not comment further. He bid farewell to Michael and hung up the call.Perhaps Michael’s understanding of the Martial Alliance was not adequate.In a villa in the suburbs...A pair
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
