Celeste’s expression changed drastically while Cersei refuted by saying, “Don’t say that, Lowe. I’ve never agreed to let Celeste marry your son!”The middle-aged man looked to be about Jamie’s age, and his name was Julian Lowe. “Ma’am, we’ve betrothed our children to each other many years ago, so Celeste is supposed to marry my son. You can’t break your promise now!”Julian’s eyes were glistening with joy when he saw Celeste. He liked her very much.He did not expect that Peach’s daughter was so beautiful. She was a worthy match for his son.Cersei pulled a long face. “I wasn’t there when Jamie talked deliriously from intoxication! I have never acknowledged that either!”As she was speaking, she glared at Jamie ferociously. ‘Alcohol ruins everything and makes one say things!’Jamie appeared embarrassed, and there was nothing he could say to refute it. Julian was displeased as well. He could not be bothered to look at Cersei anymore, so he looked toward Jamie. “Do you not ackn
“You can’t join the company as an ordinary employee because that would be a waste of your capability.”‘Kayson is just a small team leader. How can he recommend a good position to Celeste?’Moreover, Wolfenden Corp. was in the construction industry and not a finance company. Could it be that Celeste was going to join Wolfenden Corp. as a measly accountant?Celeste did not wish to divulge too much information to everyone before she submitted her resume because it would be very embarrassing if she were to fail the interview.Hence, she smiled and said, “Not an ordinary staff. The position that Kayson recommended to me is quite good.”Christian refused to believe that and assumed that Celeste was only defending Kayson’s ego. Julian said, “Celeste, don’t be fooled! Some people are skilled in branding themselves with fancy words and fine promises. You must make sure that you’re able to distinguish that.”He was claiming that Kayson was a swindler with his remark. Cersei retorted,
They had browsed through Wolfenden Corp.’s website earlier and found that the man who claimed to be the chief of the human resource department before them looked exactly the same as Franklin’s photo on the website.Kayson asked, “Are you here for dinner too, Mr. Green?”Franklin explained, “The company is short on staff, so Ms. Wolfenden wants me to expand our employee recruitment. Hence, I invited a few colleagues of the same profession for dinner.”Kayson nodded while Franklin said respectfully, “Ms. Peach, do remember to send your resume to our company’s email soon!“You came highly recommended by Mr. Yarde for our company’s CFO position. If you have the capability, your experience won’t be an issue with the recommendation of Mr. Yarde here.”Celeste said anxiously, “I shall do it and send it later!”Franklin greeted Jamie and the others before Kayson urged him to enter the hotel soon so that his guests would not be left waiting.Jamie inhaled a deep breath and asked, “Kayson
Celeste said coldly, “Kayson isn’t a criminal.”After that, she bid Julian and his wife goodbye. She called her parents and left together.Christian’s face was grim. He liked Celeste very much. After all, she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life. If he could make a pretty woman like Celeste his wife, it would make him look good in front of his relatives and friends.Bianca harrumphed. “This girl is getting ruder as she grows up!”Julian ignored his wife and said to Christian, “Don’t worry, son. I assure you that Celeste will become your wife.” …Kayson was taken to a dilapidated building. All of the rooms in this building were prison cells. All fighters that had committed crimes were being detained here. Sergio said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Yarde. You have to stay here for a night.”Kayson replied flatly, “It’s okay.”He was a simple man. As long as the others treated him kindly, he would do the same back to them as well. “I'm going to check things with Conno
The old man was Anthony Moore, a peak-stage grandmaster.Kayson was surprised. After all, it was not easy to come across a grandmaster.Anthony told Kayson a lot of things. Kayson’s face sank, and a deep frown formed on his forehead.Sergio looked kind on the surface, but it was just his cover. Deep inside, he was a hypocrite, always treating any criminal with a mild and polite attitude.After tricking his target into coming here, his attitude would change, and he would reveal his true colors as soon as the door was closed.Sergio had tricked Anthony here. He had been imprisoned and tortured all these years.Not only that, but Sergio was also a vengeful person.Anthony had a granddaughter, and Sergio had threatened him with his granddaughter’s life to force him to comply.“Kid, you need to prepare for it mentally. No matter what you did, if you’re here, it means Sergio isn’t happy with you.“He’ll do everything he can to force you to listen to him. If you refuse to do as he sa
At Clouspring’s City Hospital…Connor had woken up. However, he couldn’t get out of the bed since he was too severely injured.Sergio was sitting next to his bed. When he saw him, he said in an agitated manner, “Captain Ginn, you’ve got to help me this time! It was Kayson who did this to me!” Sergio’s gaze was cold as he said indifferently, “I have arrested him. I promise I’ll destroy him tomorrow.”Connor’s eyes glowed with delight as he continued. “As expected of you, Captain Ginn. You’re the best!”“You stay here and recuperate. I’ll go collect the information about Kayson’s friends and relatives. If he refuses to comply, I’ll kill them,” said Sergio.“Captain Ginn, you should go look for his woman!” Connor suggested. Sergio remembered Celeste, who had been standing beside Kayson when he went to arrest him.“I don’t need you to tell me what to do.” After that, Sergio rose to his feet and left the hospital.Connor gnashed his teeth and said exasperatedly, “Kayson… Just y
Just as Anthony had told him, Sergio finally showed his true colors.It only occurred to Kayson that Sergio was really good at hiding his emotion. He could not notice anything at all. Of course, it also had to do with the fact that he still had some hope for the Admiraporium. However, he was very disappointed in them right now. Only now did he understand why Delmont was so angry with the Admiralporium and wanted to chase them away when he saw them.If it were not for the fact that there was someone Delmont couldn’t fight against in the Admiralporium, he would have killed Shien and the others when they barged into his house the last time.Kayson sighed. “What a shame.”Sergio frowned slightly and chuckled. “Yeah, it’s such a shame that the world is about to lose another powerful fighter like you.” Anthony chimed in and said sarcastically, “Sergio, you’re still as nasty as always. It’s such a disgrace to have someone like you in the Admiralporium.”Sergio scoffed. “You’re a pr
Zeus was a titanium fighter. If Kayson hadn't utilized the explosive power from the Vulcan Firepalm to break through his steel energy, he wouldn't have been able to do anything to him. Steel energy was just a safety measure for this prison, while the earth energy was the main thing that caused the prison to be unbreakable.While Kayson’s lightning energy was perfect for breaking the wall, he couldn’t do it last night because his lightning energy was not potent enough that time.After training for a night and upgrading his lightning energy, he was able to unleash 60% power of the Novem Lightning Zero Impact. That was why he was able to break the wall.Propping himself with his arms, Anthony dragged his legs and crawled forward. He sighed. “You’re so young, yet you’re already a pre-celestial fighter. This is incredible.”Kayson grinned and then paced toward Sergio, whose legs had been destroyed.Kayson looked at him coldly and said, “Release Celeste.”Sergio was fully aware of
