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
Kayson chuckled nonchalantly. “He’s just a master-level fighter. You’ve overestimated him and underestimated me.”Desmond was so scared that he almost wet his pants. Master Lee was capable of denting a steel door with a punch and left behind a deep fist mark. A powerhouse like Master Lee was regarded as a god. He would find himself in difficult situations frequently working for Mr. Hann over the years. However, any difficult situation could be resolved as long as he had Master Lee’s help. The almighty Master Lee had actually suffered a setback now!Desmond panicked in his heart at the thought of Kayson’s capability earlier. He wondered if he was in deep trouble this time.“You freed the hostages, so it’s time for you to free us now, right?”Desmond said with a stern tone, “Boy, free me now. We shall part ways, so we never see each other again and be on good terms!”Kayson smiled. “Do you think you still have a chance to leave here alive?Desmond’s expression turned gloomy,
